    Golden milk smoothie
    Kathleen K.

    I'm pretty sure this is the best restaurant in the world. On the other side of the island, but make a point to come here to eat. Such amazing choices of creative, fresh, natural concoctions! The presentation is exquisite, not to mention the taste. Also, for in-house orders, no plastic is used to serve the food! We had a pitaya passionfruit bowl and the delicious golden milk smoothie with spices and cardamom!

    I appreciate a well made vegan dish. My husband on the other hand refers to it has fake food. However he was pleasantly surprised at the flavor and how much he couldn't tell that it was tofu scramble verse actual eggs scramble. The staff was very friendly and gave us a discount for paying in cash rather than using a credit card. We also got drinks - iced coffee and a matcha latte, both were delicious.

    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....

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Kachava bowl
    Linda C.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Just a short drive from Ka'anapali, in the town of Kapalua…read more Its the expanded version of ABC store that has coffee and hot food. Is this the sister location to ones in Ko'Olina?

Gotta have the rice and eggs with spam! Nice patio just outside, plenty of parking and also clean restrooms.

The whole store is actually an abc…read morestore but it has a bit more food items- like a deli, drinks and smoothie station, bakery etc. nice that they have a lot of food items. So actually the mochi is not really a mochi. It is a pastry that has mochi in the middle. And it's not taro. It's ube. So they have Hawaiian ube donut (sugar covered balls) 2/3.00 or regular Hawaiian donuts. They also have the ube mochi pastry and they have these huge ube breads. Honestly, I didn't like any of them. The big breaded thing was too Bready, the mochi pastry was a little much dairy taste, and the ube Hawaiian donut balls didn't taste like anything except a regular donut that was purple... the dragon fruit smoothie we had which was plant based was too sweet. If you order that, and you don't like it too sweet, I would ask them to make it half as sweet. So, we were all in all a little disappointed as we were hoping to find some good Hawaiian treats but I guess we can try another place.

First, I think their smoothies are more reasonable than Island Vintage even if they have a smaller selection. Also, I discovered their hot food! I got the smoky Tempeh burrito, which is made with a Pea based Tempeh rather than soy. Comes in a whole wheat tortilla with red cabbage and a yummy sauce. Super reasonable and more interesting than hotel food. I got two smoothies while I was visiting. The first is the strawberry one that's the first on their menu. It was tasty but not particularly memorable. Later in the week I got the mint and chocolate one. It sounded a little sketch, like mint chocolate chip ice cream. But it was really refreshing and natural, like a Mojito that had a little bit of chocolate. The fresh mint plus the macadamia milk and fruit paired really well with the chocolate. Definitely recommend!
