The service was so good. I'm pretty sure our waitress was the owner. She was so inviting and friendly. The cafe was so cute and quiet but vibey. The food was really tasty. We got the chicken sandwiches with the side salad and fries. Really good and recommend going for food and drinks! read more

Really good restaurant. We had the Maui sandwich, kale salad. Soooo delicious, highly recommend.

We orders the Italian sandwich and it was so tasty. The bread was toasted just enough, you can tell it was fresh! We added fries and they are generous with the portion. He had a Bloody Mary and said it was delicious. Daughter got the bacon and eggs, sourdough toast was fresh and delicious. read more

Great lunch while in Paia. Service was great, vibe was relaxed. We were able to get onto the waitlist easily.

Amazing breakfast. Stopped here on the way to our hotel. Loved the food and the ambience. Kids friendly.

Breakfast Burrito and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes were very good. Service was fairly quick and the staff were nice. The interior was clean and chill. read more

atmosphere is A+, staff was extremely genuine, but the food was so fresh and flavorful that it knocked our socks off. incredible "accidental" find. Kayla was a diamond read more

Food was really good and location is great, as pricing was also reasonable. The water was warm and some of servers weren't entirely friendly, but overall really good spot. read more

Stopped in for some coffee and breakfast..delicious! Coffee is a local roast..highly recommend the breakfast sandwich. Have to come back for espresso martini! read more

This super cute restaurant has a nice vibe, excellent service and fantastic food! We sat at the front window and had a great view of this super cute town. We had the burger and tomato confit and goat cheese toast. No more meals left in Paia for us but if so we would definitely be back! read more

So good. Great service. We came here everyday on our trip because the staff was so welcoming and the coffee, drinks and food A+. Go here!

Go just go! The food is spectacular, service is friendly and the space is gorgeous! We went today to kill some time before our flight out of Maui which is already heartbreaking enough but this meal helped ease the pain. We enjoyed the lemon ricotta pancakes and the breakfast burrito which were both delicious and well executed with simple ingredients locally sourced. read more

Food and service was extraordinary, the whole vibe is chill and the entire experience was excellent.

Happened to walk by and was intrigued by the menu- turns out it was an amazing choice. Great food- the bolognese was devoured by the kid and I had the kanpatchi on a delicious bed of sweet potato puree. The dessert was a divine warm chocolate chip cookie with vanilla milk for dipping- I was lucky to get a bite. Friendly service and staff, provided good recommendations, wish we were staying longer and could go back to try more. read more

right off the bat it's such a cute place!! love that you seat yourself and stuff. the only thing i would say is it is a little loud and overstimulating at times lol. music is kinda loud mixed with the conversations all around is kinda a little much at times. service was great though. the guy taking our order was very nice, informative, and overall it was great service! that being said.. we got the breakfast burrito and little gem salad and added chicken. the salad is sooo good!!! the dressing is a little sweet and really nice and refreshing with the nutritional yeast breadcrumbs. i definitely love that i added chicken and think it added to it perfectly! there was kind of a lot of the breadcrumbs and i think there didn't have to be as much! it would've been great with a little less!! the breakfast burrito was really good too. would've loved a little more texture with onions or cilantro maybe. just kind of a little mushy so i think something light and refreshing would add to it perfectly!! other than that it was very good and we definitely want to come back to try different items and their dinner menu!! read more

Change of ownership. Renovation looks great but the vibe is gone and the menu is very limited without the old favorites.

A delicious lunch in such a lovely space. The service is always amazing. The food is fresh and staff are friendly and attentive. Love Mambo!

Sooooo good! Sweet potato bowl was yummy with sautéed kale with garlic. Avacado, radish and sprouts and I added chicken. The service and coffee and wine bar were all excellent. Need a Prosecco? Stop in here!! read more

The drinks were great but our steak came out mw instead of mr. Then unfortunately our curly haired server miscounted our money and overcharged us extra by $20.... That was unexpected since I counted my money several times. Hoping the best of people since I'm a server too, but I swear I put down the right amount in cash. Beware and make sure to check your cash before you put it down. Sticky fingers are a thing. Mahalo and will come back but will be very aware when it comes to the check. read more

This place is amazing. I ate here 3 times on my trip to Maui and got to try many things on the menu. The food is so fresh, the service quick and attentive and it's adorable inside. Definitely the best meals I had on island! Highlights were the burger, breakfast sandwich, and the BLT was bomb. The iced mocha was the best I ever had. Not too sweet and they said they use fresh cacao! So happy to have this place in Paia and I look forward to coming back on my next trip!! read more

My fav spot. Such a gem. I enjoy a meal here every chance I can. Ashley is da best. Grateful for a local spot that cooks with good oils, not canola. Excited for the new dinner menu too! Keep rocking. We love you. read more

Thank goodness they re open after 3! Enjoyed an espresso and a latte. Coffee was a bit weak but then I'm used to super strong Italian espresso. The girls were sweet and personable. The guy not so much. Definitely not mister personality. read more

Friendly Staff, excellent food and drinks! very nice place to hang out in Paia! breakfast and brunch were awesome! Went back for pupu's and beers and did not disappoint! Mahalo! read more

The new Cafe Mambo is definitely worth a visit. The food is fresh and tasty, the service is amazing, and the new decor is beautiful. My favorites are the breakfast burrito and the smash burger. I'm so happy Paia has a gem like this! read more

Great place! Has recently transitioned to new ownership and the menu and inside is great. Had drinks and appetizers here in the evening as well as breakfast in the morning, would recommend both. read more

The food is not bad, but itʻs not good either, just a lot of store bought things. They have no local product on their menu,which was a shocker, considering our local community wants to support our local farmers/ sustainable economy. I noticed they had a pretty extensive breakfast menu, with a lot of sourdough items ( i LOVE me some good sourdough) Excited, I asked if it was made in house and they said no. I asked where they got the sourdough from and was told frōm a baker on Oahu (which personally, i think they use store bought? thinking boudains?) I told them there are so many great bakers here on Maui and the lady informed me, they use so much(whatever that means) that they (a baker) cannot keep up with the demand. I personally walked by the place almost every morning and it is NOT busy! The ONLY local product I noticed, were the spirits frōm Wailuku distellery. Even the honey was Kirkland (costco) and again, wē have some great honey farmers! The decor is certainly not Paia. and it feels fake,. More like a Kīhei/ Wailea ...There is a reason the anchor restraunts (milagros, flatbread, paia fishmarket) are successful. They all use LOCAL PRODUCT .. NOT everything, but as much as they can!This is the 3rd go around for Cafe Mambo.... Unfortunetly my last. This review is done by a local girl, born and raised North Shore read more

Excellent food and service!! Super clean and friendly staff. Breakfast Burrito was superb!

Fabulous rejuvenation on this new hip restaurant. Food and service is top notch. The tapas menu and craft cocktails were amazing. This is the place to go in Paia. read more

I have had a great experience at this establishment on 3 different occasions at different times of the day. Food was delicious with great presentation. Wait staff friendly and attentive. Wide open relaxing space. Coffee to go. You can also enjoy crafted cocktails and tapas as you wind down your day. Highly recommend. read more
