In O’ahu, I had all the places we were going to eat mapped out. It wasn’t the same for Maui. I took it upon myself to try out restaurants all around Maui. I wanted to make sure I was creating a list that reflected the essence of Maui. It was a tiring task, but well worth it!
Sea House Restaurant
We went to the Sea House for breakfast one of the mornings and I can’t say enough good things. They have outside deck seating which sits on a rocky cliffside on the West Coast of Maui. It takes in the beautiful coastline of Maui. At the Sea House I decided to get something that I wouldn’t normally get. I got the Haleakala Pancake which is a custard batter pancake that is baked and is caramelized with bananas and pineapple! It was as good as it sounds!
Choice Health Bar
Who else loves Açaí bowls?! They are so healthy and delicious. When you get them in Hawaii, they are as fresh as they will ever be! Since we were only about a 5 minute walk from Whalers Village, we went to the Choice Health Bar probably every day for lunch. We were obsessed! They have other options as well like smoothies, salads, and grain bowls.
Leilani’s On The Beach
Speaking of Whalers Village, we also ate at the Beachside Grill part of Leilani’s On The Beach Restaurant. My dad and I split the Sriracha-Guava chicken wings and they were out of this world good. The wings were so tender and the sauce was spicy and sweet which was the perfect combination. This was an easy pick for my list of where to eat in Maui.
Sunrise Cafe
One of the mornings, my sister and I decided to head out and get breakfast just the two of us. We were walking early in the morning in downtown Lahaina and came across this darling little cafe. When we walked in it was quintessential Hawaii. This is definitely a place to eat in Maui! The breakfast sandwich I got was incredible and so fresh!
Komoda Store and Bakery
Okay so I forgot to take pictures of what we got here but there’s a funny story about this place. Komoda is known for their donuts on a stick and cream puffs. The bike tour company told us about it because it was on our way down the volcano. Well, when we arrived at the bakery, we found out they were all sold out. My shoulders dropped to my knees. The look on my face was pure disappointment. We decided to stick around for a little bit and it paid off-big time! A graduation order was never picked up so they sold it to us (and other people that were also waiting). Haha no, we couldn’t eat all of it.
So that’s the story on how I got to try their donuts and cream puffs. They did not disappoint…definitely the best pastries I’ve ever eaten! I would definitely recommend this as a must as far as where to eat in Maui! I unfortunately didn’t get any pictures. Mostly because I devoured the pastries…whoops!
Hopefully this gives y’all a better idea of some places to eat in Maui! What’s your favorite restaurant in Maui? Leave a comment below!
