“ It was good! Fun option to cook your own cakes, but we didn't this time! We all enjoyed our breakfast and bloody Mary's. ”
“ Good was delicious with fast friendly service. It was great to have gluten free options as we had a couple folks in our group of six requiring it. No extra cost for gluten free a big plus! Casual family dining another plus with our toddler. ”
“ Wow -- the pancakes are amazing and the loco moco was top-notch. We will come here again on our next trip to Maui! We did not do the "make your own" hotcakes thing because it was just the two of us, but I think we would if we were traveling with family. ”
“ A fun breakfast/brunch place, but options add up fast. We came around 9-10am on a weekend and had no trouble getting a table for 5 with a griddle. Everyone else ordered plates for breakfast, but my son and I did the MYO pancakes. The bottle of batter easily fed the two of us. The add-ons, which make the pancake experience fun, can add up fast. They're $3-4 each. We got chocolate chips, mac nuts, and coconut syrup. If you want pure maple syrup, it's an extra $4(!) otherwise, there's pancake syrup on the table. That said, we did get a LOT of each of those items, more than we used. We added a side of spam, which was sliced and grilled and had good flavor over simply sautéed. Juice and coffee was fine, and I appreciated that they had lids/straws for juice cups for keiki. ”
“ Got a coupon for a free batter with any meal order. I had never been to a Slappy Cakes, so decided to try here for breakfast. The staff was very friendly and promptly led me to my table. I found loco moco and ordered it "my usual" way of eggs over medium and gravy on the side. I ordered the special peanut butter batter. It was enough batter to make four small pancakes. The loco moco was very good. The pancakes turned out okay, thus the four stars. ”
“ This is a great place if you're into all things pancake as I am. I loved the chill vibe of this place - no rush, you're on Maui time now!! The best thing about Slappy Cakes is being able to score one of the tableside griddles to make your own (definitely recommend making a reservation or coming in early to do so!) There are lots of different breakfast options to choose from outside of pancakes (but you also can't go wrong with just pancakes!) Service was good and friendly- which is always a plus. I love how everyone friendly this place is, so there is definitely something for everyone here. There is parking available outside but also easy to get a rideshare to and from if you are staying at a nearby resort. ”
“ Wasn't sure if because of the name this would be good food or just a great name. Well over the course of our week here, we have gone 3 times. We love it! The cinnamon roll pancakes were awesome as were the regular buttermilk ones. Everything we got was very good. Friendly and fast service.. ”
“ Amazing family friendly restaurant! I love and appreciated the idea of having pancake grills to make our own customized pancakes. Think Korean BBQ idea but for pancakes. Our teenage son truly enjoyed this and I think it was satisfying to him knowing how delicious he could make his pancakes. If you choose to make your pancakes they have prepped batters in 8 oz squeeze bottles. You then choose what fruit, sweets, and or fillings you want. There are also signature plates like you would see on a Denny's or IHOP menu if you didn't want to put in the work of making your own pancakes. This is what I ended up doing and chose the Classic Breakfast. Nothing exceptional yet nothing terrible either. I did love their homemade strawberry jam! We definitely would come back here to try out their variety of specialty pancakes! Pricing was decent and service was excellent. They even have merch sold up from if you want a little souvenir. ”
“ Such a neat little breakfast place!! Super fun that you can purchase a bottle of pancake batter/toppings and cook your own pancakes while you wait for your food. It was my perfect solution to my sweet vs savory internal debate I have every time I get brunch lol The loaded potatoes were absolutely delicious, the rest of the food was great too. Our waitress was sweet, and got us in and out quickly since we were in a rush. Highly recommend on your trip to Maui! ”
