The Sansglu take

The place

Cool Cat Cafe is a family-style, 1950s-inspired burger restaurant at 1819 South Kihei Road. The Kihei location pairs made-to-order burgers with shakes, fish sandwiches, and shareable plates.

The gluten-free setup

This is not a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. The current menu marks GF and GFO dishes and asks guests to alert their server to food allergies. Find Me Gluten Free diners report a dedicated fryer and separate preparation controls; confirm the current process with the restaurant when ordering.

What to order

The official menu marks Hula Sticks, the rib plate, fries, and sweet-potato fries GF. Several burgers, including the pineapple-and-bacon Don Ho, can be ordered with a gluten-free bun.

The move

Tell the server about your gluten restriction before ordering, as the menu requests. Ask them to confirm the current fryer and preparation setup for your meal.
