    Pasta salad, quinoa, and more.

    This place is great. Family owned and operated. It is vegan and vegetarian friendly with care. Lots of healthy options to grab a smoothie, juice, breakfast or lunch with a healthy mindset on the Lahaina side of Maui. The grace and warmth of the person at the counter was amazing. One protein driven smoothie a day is my way. This was my first morning on Maui and I needed a smoothie to set my day up for success. I had a kale, pineapple, banana with protein powder one and it was delicious. Lots of good, healthy choices here. Kids are accommodated too.

    It's challenging to come across good vegetarian/vegan food on the island so I was very appreciative to see this vegan establishment. We ended up having breakfast and lunch here on the same day! My family ordered an acai bowl and the breakfast burrito. Both were delicious and plentiful. For lunch we ordered the tostada and soba bowl. The soba bowl was flavorful and tasty while the toastada lacked flavor and was soggy. Service was warm and friendly. Plenty of parking.

    I came by this place because it was in the closest plaza next to where I stayed....Just by luck I see the sign outside for another place I just got food from the night before..... Nice small quaint and clean....a great vibe inside out....BEST OF ALL it is a VEGAN place.... The staff (possibly owner as well) were really nice and even gave me a good hiking spot to go check out..... I grabbed a blueberry muffin to go if I recall they just brought it out so it was hot and that was the best vegan blueberry muffin I ever had.... so good that I got one to go the day I flew out as well to bring on the plane.... I came back after my hike and got a cold soba bowl...it was really good and refreshing.... The next day I got a Breakfast Burrito.... Next time I'm in Maui I am definitely coming back here.....Only thing is I wish they opened later in the day....

    A'a Roots is a real gem for anyone looking for vegetarian and vegan food on the Lahaina side of Maui! I came with my husband and parents, and everyone enjoyed it! We took a while to figure out what we wanted because there were so many good-looking options, but I settled on the Curry Buddha Bowl with the tempeh addition, and I do recommend it! It's a nice flavorful curry without being overpowering, and comes with a lovely red rice. My dad's tofu scramble also came with the same red rice, and he liked his scramble. My mom got the cauliflower tacos, and the sauce really made them shine. My husband got the blueberry pancakes and he was pretty happy with them, too. The decor is colorful and a bit bohemian with some Indian and South American flair, and we thought it was a really cute little cafe! It's apparent that they're there truly for the locals, and doesn't have any touristy vibe, which is always a nice change of pace. It was also pretty busy on a Tuesday for lunch, which I think speaks to the quality of the food. Should we ever find ourselves on Maui again, I would definitely come back to A'a Roots!

    Only came here for an açaí bowl so that's all I'm reviewing. Good basic açaí bowl, slightly softer açaí blend. They are definitely generous with the toppings (if you can see the mountain of blueberries I got on mine). However, there was just a little too much granola in the bowl - about a third of my bowl was just granola, and I ran out of açaí to eat it with. If they adjust the balance a little, I think it'd be really good.

    Returned this year and still love it! Everything is so fresh and flavorful and big portions. I'm the only vegan one in my family and they love it too. Great place to get breakfast or lunch before or after snorkeling nearby. The staff is super friendly! I left my hat and they kept it for us to pick up the next day. Several tables both outside and inside. We make sure to visit every time we're in Maui!

    A must stop on West Maui for vegetarians/vegans/health conscious tourists. Very welcoming to all. Relaxed interior space. Lots of healthy food options that are also delicious. This was my second visit and I will be coming back!

    I've been coming to AA Roots many times and I always enjoy it. The vegan food is so fresh and incredibly tasty every single visit. You can really feel the love and quality in the ingredients. It's one of my go-to spots when I want something healthy but still satisfying. Highly recommend!

    A great açaí bowl served by a super friendly staff. The vibe is very relaxing and they have delicious menu items for your entire party. They usually add a flower to the açaí bowls. It's a small touch, but it makes a world of difference to the customers. Mahalo

    vegan caesar salad
    Robin M.

    A`A Roots is an all-vegan breakfast and lunch spot in Lahaina. They have a fairly healthy menu, and I love their use of edible flowers. I ordered a vegan caesar salad, and it came with the prettiest pinkish-lilac edible flowers! They have a big menu with a lot of choices. I'm attaching photos of the menu. They have soup, salads, sandwiches & wraps, toast (incl GF), buddha bowls, toastadas, bagels, smoothies, smoothie bowls, juices, and coffee. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. It's located in a plaza with a coffee shop where you can buy whole bean Kona coffee to bring home as souvenirs. The coffee shop also has postcards, so you can sit outside and write postcards while you eat your lunch.

    Kachava bowl

    SERVICE - located in a small shopping complex in North Maui - parking available in lot - cozy interior with couches for seating - limited indoor seating available - service is quick and gets you your order as soon as it is ready - ambiance good for a casual breakfast MENU - smoothie bowls and savory brunch items - all vegan/vegetarian - average price FOOD - naked burrito bowl (9/10): rice, black beans, cabbage, salsa, and tofu drizzled with avocado and chipotle crema. This is also available as a burrito but i would recommend the bowl if you want to share with multiple people. The tofu was an add on but worth it to boost the protein on the dish. It is a classic blend of rice and beans with fresh vegetables. The star is the chipotle crema as it adds a smoky heat to the dish. - grilled cheese (6/10): housemade cashew cheese sandwiched between two slices of bread. This is simple and it is hard to go wrong with just grilled cheese. I wish there was something more unique to it, maybe a layer of the chipotle sauce or some grilled onions just to give it a unique twist. - dragon bowl (7/10): pitaya, pineapple, banana, and strawberry blend topped with banana, berries, and coconut. We added almond butter for an extra charge. I love how natural the bowls here are. You can tell that they make them to order with fresh fruit that shines in every bite. This one is lighter and more tart than the açaí based ones. - kachava bowl (9/10): açaí, banana, and blueberries blended with kachava superfood mix topped with banana, coconut, blueberries, and cacao nibs. This was my favorite of the dishes we ordered. The addition of the kachava makes the bowl more filling and slightly nutty. If i was only ordering one thing it would have to be this one. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! The ambiance is welcoming, service is friendly, and food is reliably tasty.

    So happy to find AA Roots! Have been here twice now. And every thing is delicious. Staff is super friendly and atmosphere is welcoming and cozy.

    Acai bowl
    Kamy T.

    Came here for breakfast and it was a nice little spot with seating inside. We ordered the açaí bowl and avocado toast. Service was good and the food came out quickly. The acai bowl was definitely one of the best I've had! Smooth, not too sweet, and a large portion! The avocado toast was solid as well with creamy avocados, topped with flaky salt and black sesame seeds. Service was friendly and there's self serve water.

Spacious inside with plenty of seating. Pricey, but to be expected. Definitely the best option of the nearby Napili places. Service a little show if it's busy. I enjoyed the turkey pesto panini and my custom turkey sandwich for the plane ride home was large and fresh. I did order some croissants for the kids, and they toasted them, which I wish they did ask beforehand as I would have said no. Overall, a great option nearby. Is it the best you'll ever eat? That's bold, but it was perfect for the location.

The customer service was okay, female worker wasn't as friendly with us as she was with the person in front of us. I came for an acai bowl and got the island vibes açaí and added cacao to it, this açaí bowl is not the sorbet type, but a blended açaí (I didn't know that). This is just personal preference, I don't like blended açaí because it melts quickly. The lilikoi butter is a fun idea, but I don't think it blended will with the bowl itself, it was bitter. My friend got the Cali style breakfast burrito and it was a small wrap and hardly "Cali" style at all. It was just giving breakfast burrito. The salsa was giving it came from a jar We also got an unsweetened matcha, if you have high expectations for matcha, I'd skip n go elsewhere. Overall food was good but very over priced for what you get. Go support the native Hawaiian locals instead of this spot, just being real.

    Fresh, delicious, heavenly…read more Recently visited while staying at nearby resort. They (as well as other vendors) rotate locations up and down the beach walk daily. I was able to catch them multiple days. Tried the açaí bowl, pineapple combo bowl, lawa flow smoothie. Opted to get no papaya on my items as that's not my jam. All the fruit was cut fresh. I enjoyed the bases were sorbets so they held up nicely walking up and down the boardwalk. The line can get long but moves quickly. Luckily each time I've visited there has only been a few people ahead of me. Can't beat a freshly made açaí bowl by the ocean with friendly staff! Highly recommend if you're nearby visiting!

    I was really excited to try Maui Fruit Ninja, but unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations…read more The service was slow, and the owner kept mentioning it was their first day back with new employees, which made things feel pretty unorganized. He tried to keep a "cool" vibe, but it came off as all over the place. For a small canopy stand, the portion size of fruit wasn't worth the price at all. What concerned me most was seeing him handle cash and then immediately put straws into customers' drinks without washing his hands. Mentioning this ahead of time, I know he will most likely respond defensively and not accept that changes need to be made to improve the business. I could already see his attitude while I was waiting to order and again while waiting for my food. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. I had high hopes, but I won't be coming back or recommending it.
