A very good place for American style breakfast. We had the French Toast, Pancakes, Eggs Benedict, Sausages. They can get busy so we went a little earlier in the morning and had a peaceful breakfast! We will definitely come here again!

Our family loves this place. The food is good and the staff is great. During the power outages caused by the typhoon last year, the staff offered to let us charge our devices while we are here. The coffees and juices they have are pretty good, too

Right outside of the military base, Camp Hansen. Accommodating to English speakers, limited parking due to Kin town being a small area typically frequented by Americans who walk off the base. Expect a 15-20 minute wait for your food but I enjoyed my meal. I had the eggs Benedict with extra fried eggs and cheese. The potatoes are best eaten hot, if they become a bit cold you'll have a hard time getting through them. I'd come back.

This is more of an American type brunch place. My kids actually cleared their plates! The coffees were delicious and the pancakes were super fluffy. No specific parking, but the kin public lot is right across the street. You get an interesting view of the Hansen motor lot. They have a nice outdoor deck area that you can sit on if it's a nice day. All the food looks just like the menu pictures. A little expensive for the island, but still worth it.

New cafe in Kin. Sign says the are open from 8-3, every day but Wednesday. Great selection of breakfast food. Several tables and lots of bar seating. I got the eggs benny, but the French toast looks very good!

The food was excellent and we didn’t wait long to receive it. They definitely have one of the better varieties of lemonades that I’ve tasted in Okinawa. The Staff were really quick and helpful. Parking can be somewhat difficult in this area, given that there are not a lot of options for it.
