Best spot in Maui - Edit
Great food, great vibe. Not too expensive. I got a giant cookie, OJ, and the breakfast burrito. My boyfriend got the naked burrito bowl and they were both delicious. High quality ingredients and tasted great!

Lilikoi Smoothie - Edit
The food here is excellent. I loved the lilikoi smoothie (it was a special so not sure if they’ll always have it) and the desserts from Cakes by Kamala. The pumpkin spice muffin / cupcake was omg so so good. Friendly staff and such a great vibe.

Nice vegan cafe, beautifully presented dishes - Edit
This is a nice, casual cafe with outdoor seating. I had tried this place via their food truck before the Lahaina fire and really enjoyed it so I made a point to try them again, this time in their cafe. I got the vegan Caesar salad and it was delicious. Can’t wait to come back to try more things.

Perfetto! - Edit
We had lunch here twice in three days only because the third day was Wednesday and they are closed. The food is great, I haven't eaten such a good Caesar salad in years!
Read moreThe desserts are also excellent. The place is very nice, welcoming and with good vibes. I don't think I'll go back just because I live on the other side of the planet, but never say never!

The best! - Edit
My favorite place. The food here is made with love. I am always grateful to have such a nourishing place to eat while on the island. I stop here almost every day when visiting Maui. I recommend the soba bowl as well as açaí bowl. ❤️

Heavenly - Edit
We ate here when we were in Maui 4 years ago. My husband is not vegan and going back to this restaurant this year 2024 was his idea. I have been a vegan 32 years. I recommend ordering the daily specials. I had the tomato soup and also avocado toast with chimichurri. My husband had a salad. We also bought a blueberry muffin. The server was very helpful in guiding our choices. He was happy and friendly. The service was quick. The food was DELICIOUS and FRESH. They have toys available to keep the little ones occupied.

WOW WOW WOW - Edit
I have been wanting to eat here for years and I'm so upset with myself that it took me this long to try it! This place is seriously amazing and one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The staff is incredibly nice...I've never had customer service so notable. The owner of the store was showing food to us coming from the kitchen proudly showing off her daughter's (the chef) hard work and skills. It may not be the fastest service ever, but all the food is so beautiful and you can tell they put their heart into it. Food was absolutely delectable and I can't wait to try more! Make sure you check their Instagram for the Daily Specials, Friday Dinner Menu, and Sunday Brunch Menu. I went twice in one day because I was so blown away. The only thing that caught me off guard was how expensive the cookie dough is ($20 for a tub), but it's pretty good stuff so it's a splurge item. By the way, the cookie dough can be baked or eaten raw😉

Delicious vegan food - Edit
We were looking for a place to get a healthy drink while we waited for our condo to be ready and happened upon a most delightful place. We ordered lunch and went back today for Sunday brunch. It turns out that a “pop up” business makes the Friday night dinners and Sunday brunch.

Cons: It wasn’t clearly stated the a different business , The quality and flavors of brunch didn’t match the

Delicious vegan cafe - Edit
Update: went back and was equally impressed. Soba bowl and breakfast burritos are delicious. Also don’t miss the s’mores cookie- life changing!! Owner is lovely and thrilled to meet other vegans. Also her son, a staunch vegan, gives surf lessons if you want to support. Lahainasurfadventures.com. Wish we had known before we went to a different place.
Read moreDiscovered this vegan spot walking distance to our condo and highly recommend. Enjoyed a iced coffee with oat, maple, espresso whip and yummy blueberry muffin. Will be back to try the breakfast burrito and granola/fruit bowls. Super friendly service too!

Still Dreaming of A’A Roots - Edit
We ate here 2 or 3 times while in Maui. It was so great that if it was in my hometown I’d eat here multiple days a week. We tried to go again on our last day. They were closed for Father’s Day, which we totally respected, but I’m still dreaming of my next meal there.

Best on Maui - Edit
A'a Roots Health Cafe is the best place I've tried on Maui. The service is spectacular, super attentive, and welcoming. The food is beautifully made and thoughtfully decorated with edible flowers. Every ingredient in every dish tastes so fresh, high quality, and nutrient-dense!
Read moreThere's even a big selection of to-go foods, like noodles and pasta, raw cakes, cookies, juices, breads, guacamole, quinoa, energy bites and bars, chia pudding, and so much more. They even sell cute t-shirts.

Always an incredible experience - Edit
Every time we visit the island we have to go to A'a roots. The food is incredible. Our first visit this time I ate the food too quickly and couldn't take a photo. We stopped again for brunch on Sunday and the chef outdid herself. I had a conna roll and avocado toast which was devine. And my partner had the plant based omelette which was delicious. If you are looking for great food and a homie feeling this is your place.

Such good vegan fare - Edit
We stopped by here on the way back from a long morning of tremendous waves and cute turtles at DT Fleming Beach. The restaurant was a refreshing, cool, and healthy stop on our way back to Lahaina.
Read moreWe got an amazing Soba Buddha bowl with tempeh, the Dragon pitaya bowl and the special mango acai bowl. Our three kids loved everything, especially the fruit bowls. The restaurant's atmosphere gave out good, positive vegan vibes. Don't be deceived by the mall-like appearance from the outside - the inside is very pleasant.
Highly recommended by this vegan/vegetarian family from Seattle.
Pros: Great food, Healthy food, Nice employees

Must go to! - Edit
Loved this place!! Went twice. Love the zero waste they do - reusable containers you return in exchange for a $ deposit and leaf wraps for $1. I wish all places did this. Loved their signature taro burger (it’s smushed in my pic, not their fault). Great interior and energy inside and outside. Only con would be to pass on the Thai tea - flavor and sweetness was too light.
