The kids and I went to Mala for breakfast over the weekend. The food, as always, was delicious. While I opted for the traditional bacon and eggs, the kids both decided to have french toast. I have to say that the french toast at Mala is the best I’ve had on Maui.

Last July, Cool Cat’s burgers of the month featured both “The Bottle Rocket” and “The Roman Candle” and this July, the burgers of the month are the same as before. I didn’t have the opportunity to try them last year, but I’m glad I finally got the chance. As usual, we ordered both burgers with […]
The Cool Cat Cafe has done it again. They took a standard American staple and turned it into a delicious burger. Like my son said, “Only Cool Cat’s can come up with hamburgers that feature tacos, pizza, and hot dogs. They can take anything and make it into a burger.” This month’s burger of the […]
“Relleno de el Gato Suave!” and “This is for La Raza!” The overall experience of Cool Cat Cafe’s burgers of the month May 2015 is one of complete satisfaction. The crispiness of the fried flour tortilla, the crunch of the shredded lettuce, the creamy texture of the oaxaca cheese and the garlic roasted poblano peppers […]
One of the best Loco Mocos available on Maui is only available this month at The Cool Cat Cafe. It’s their version of the Hawaiian favorite without the rice and served on some delicious garlic bread. My son and I tried it yesterday and we both agreed that it was even better than the breakfast […]
Candied Maple Bacon Bits on Cool Cats Burger of the Month March 2015 The Cool Cat Cafe’s burger of the month for March 2015 has candied maple bacon bits on it. “Why?” you ask. “Because everything’s better with bacon” and that’s also the great name for this month’s burger! Isn’t that the BEST reason? Who […]
Cool Cat Cafe’s February burger of the month was tantalizing for many reasons. Not the least of which is everyone’s universal love of Mexican food. A quesadilla burger has intriguing possibilities dripping from just the name alone. There is, of course, the challenge of having both Cool Cat’s savory, always fresh, ground beef patty and […]
For the third year in a row, The Cool Cat Cafe offered The Dip as their Beef Burger of the Month and for the second year in a row, The Jitterbug was their Veggie Burger of the Month. Both burgers are among our favorite burgers of the month and we were very pleased to be […]
Are you worried that Santa won’t be bringing you anything this year because you haven’t been quite as good as you should have been? Are you worried about getting stuck with yet another lump of coal? Fear not! Get yourself to Cool Cat Cafe and let December’s Burger of the Month “Jolly St. Mac” deliver […]
The Burger of the Month for November 2014 at The Cool Cat Cafe is delightfully juicy! I have eaten many Burgers of the Month at Cool Cat’s over the years and definitely have several favorites on my list. I now have another unique and captivating burger to add to that list. Being a fairly tidy […]
This month’s burger of the month is called “Octoburgerfest”, which sounds intriguing, enough. So far, I’ve yet to be disappointed by any of their BOM’s, so I look forward to this one, as well. I enter the restaurant with a couple of friends, and we go right for the booth in the air-conditioned area of […]
With the West Maui Mountains behind us, we began our walk down the street into Lahaina Town. One of the many things I love about living on Maui is that, from the right location, everything is within walking distance. We are lucky enough to live in the right location for all the activities in Lahaina Harbor. This morning was a wonderful reminder of how lucky we are. This morning we were headed into Lahaina Towne to go parasailing with West Maui Parasail. One of two parasailing companies on … [More Things to Do on Maui...]
When I was a child, my family would go to Huntington Beach in Southern California. Sometimes, we would swim. Sometimes we would play frisbee. Other times we would make sand castles. No matter what, we always had a great time at the beach. When I heard about the Sand Sculpture Classes being presented by Art by Riki, I was looking forward to bringing my children to enjoy the sand castles I had enjoyed during my childhood. I thought that building a Sand Sculpture with Art by Riki was going to be a … [More Things to Do on Maui...]
Waking up at 2:00 in the morning is not something I generally look forward to, but this morning I was up a full half hour before my alarm went off. I was having a hard time even getting to sleep ever since I found out I would be going out with Start Me Up for their nine hour fishing trip. The reason for leaving so early in the morning is that the fish don't feed until the sun comes up, and we wanted to be where the fish were as soon as the sun pushed past the horizon. So in order to catch the … [More Things to Do on Maui...]
The Segway PT: Invented by Dean Kaman Ever since I first read about Project Ginger being developed by US inventor Dean Kamen, I was curious about the new personal transportation device now known as the Segway PT. The Segway was aptly named as a homophone for the word “segue” which according to Merriam-Webster means “to make a transition without interruption from one activity, topic, scene, or part to another”. The new device was rumored to be a “life-changing” transportation … [More Things to Do on Maui...]
For us, the adventure began a few weeks before the actual snorkel trip. It began when I told the kids, "We're going on the Pride of Maui, two weeks from Sunday." “Which boat is that, Daddy?” my youngest son asked. “It’s one out of Maalaea Harbor that goes to Molokini and Turtle Town,” I replied. “They have snorkeling and SNUBA diving,” I told him, “and a water slide.” “That sounds awesome,” he said. “Don’t you mean scuba diving?” “Nope. It’s SNUBA diving.” “What’s SNUBA … [More Things to Do on Maui...]
