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 […]
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...]
We had the honor of attending Skyline Eco Adventures’ inaugural Zip-n-Dip Tour and it was AMAZING. We were among the very first group to experience Maui’s newest activity up at Kahoma Ranch. It was nothing like I expected and better than I imagined. Now, you have to understand, I go on a lot of activities and sometimes they seem a little too familiar, like were are doing the same things over and over. Skyline Eco Adventures’ Zip-n-Dip was new, original, unique, and fun. I really enjoyed the … [More Things to Do on Maui...]
A Trip to Molokini Crater on the Quicksilver Have you ever imagined the perfect way to celebrate your birthday, only to be disappointed when the chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream turns out to be low-cal carob cake, with no added sugar, and sugar free non-dairy ice cream substitute? If you want a sure fire way to make certain you have a good birthday with no artificial sweetener, then you need to celebrate you birthday aboard the Quicksilver catamaran on a snorkel trip to Molokini Crater. … [More Things to Do on Maui...]
My new favorite sport is stand up paddle boarding also known as stand up paddle surfing. I’ve only gone out a few times, but I have a blast each time. Sometimes I stand up and paddle by myself; sometimes I stand up and paddle with my children riding on the front of the stand up paddle board. (they take turns.) Every time, I thoroughly enjoy it. It’s great exercise, one of the best core workouts around. I love being outside, and after all these years of living on Maui, my Hawaiian tan is coming … [More Things to Do on Maui...]
When I was asked to join in a boat ride out of Lahaina, I thought "Sure, why not?", because I always enjoy a little trip on the ocean. I also thought it was going to be on a large ship, like the Maui Princess, which I always enjoy. Shannon and Brandon had invited me to join them in "launching" their new venture, Maui Wishes. We all meet at the Pioneer Inn, and I have a glass of ice water, very welcome on a sultry late afternoon. Here, I get to see not only people I know, but meet a few … [More Things to Do on Maui...]
