I can't blame my mom because she did not know, but she suggested North Shore Cafe in Haiku because they have some cheap breakfast. They have a Hawaii Five-O and the 808 menu, meaning $5.00 and $8.08 (he, like the area code). Price sounded great. Boy were we in for a disappointment. The atmosphere is very country like, relaxed, and had a lot of locals there. Lots of people should mean a great place right? The first thing I noticed were the dirty stained chairs, then we sat at a table that was not cleaned off yet for 20 minutes before flagging someone down. They came and wiped our table down - sort of. We took note of the fact that they didnt really care about cleanliness. They turn the cups upside down on the table after wiping it off with their nasty, dirty rags. Thats going to make people sick. Well then we ordered and waited forever for our food. Then it came. Cold. And gross. My mom got the benedict and her Canadian bacon (if you want to call it that) was about the size of a quarter. My omelette was a pile of eggs scrambled with a bunch of not so great tasting veggies, and my toast was cold and soggy. Top that off with a nice glass of water? No. Top it off with a nasty lukewarm glass of tap water with the dirty rimmed cup from the nasty wiped table. I couldn't even choke it down. And the ladies working in there were rude and sloppy. The worst! I will never go back there again. You certainly get what you pay for, cheap CRAP. Spend a few extra dollars and go across the road to Colleen's for a HOT breakfast that is most delicious and in a clean and beautiful cafe with attentive waitresses.
At least we got to have one last date with the beach, and I got to see my friend from when we were kids...she is more like a cousin really, just removed (more like my brother's cousin - but who's keeping track?). We did have to drive out to Kahana but thats ok. So long beach. I will miss for another year.
