This was the place I had my very first meal when I arrived on Maui. I took a beach cruiser and biked down Front Street and locked my bike in front of the tiny restaurant that had been recommended to me when I told someone that I was starving (having not eaten anything since the plane flight from California to Maui).
This is a Mom and Pop shop where they accept cash only for their goods. I am not an early riser, so these days I always manage to beat the breakfast crowd when I amble in for "brunch" at one or two in the afternoon.
I would recommend you do the very same if you stop in at Sunrise Cafe. This place is super tiny with a tiny staff (just Dad and Son taking orders and Mom doing all the cooking), so if you sit down at peak breakfast times, you could be waiting a half hour for your food.
I usually get one of two things. The Breakfast Burrito stuffed with rice and eggs and tropical salsa or my personal favorite, the Greek Bagel with a side of 2 poached eggs:

I carefully put a poached egg on each bagel half and splash Tapatio hot sauce on top of it all, then I dig in with much gusto and fanfare. It is delicious. Each bagel half is topped with a slice of tomato, sauteed spinach, garlic and Maui Onions, sliced cucumbers and a handful of sprouts. Oh yeah, there is also feta cheese and a sprinkling of black olives.
This one meal gets me through my entire day.
