Outside seating option was pleasing but the whole place was open and breezy. Food presentation was exceptional. Everyone in my party enjoyed onolicious food w a Chefs kiss! Off the lovely sounding menu we odered: -Pacific Mahi mahi w lilikoi picatta sauce, baby greens & organic Jasmin brown rice -Pake Chicken kabobs on cabage w beet strings, kale & green papaya -Loco Moko Classic grass fed Angus mushroom onion gravey & fancy mac salad -Korean Bulgogi Burger, grass fed cret. Angus -Chef created desert family style, a French Toast stuffed w Marsapone, fresh whiping cream, garnished w blueberry, strawberry banana amd pinapple slices. I don't allow myself dessert but it looked so good, I had to try a wedge, which melted in my mouth. The manager Dan quietly asked if we were enjoying our food bringing us a utensil set we had not noticed we needed and seemingly got around to all customers.​ Overall fantastic experience to remember, as I slip into Hawaiian Paralysis w a smile for a Siesta.

By the time you're up to bat, ready to order, a table seems to magically open up and wait times for your food ( which they bring to your table) are very minimal. We tried their quinoa, roasted veggie bowl with grilled shrimp and it was flavorful and well-seasoned but comforting after a long travel day. We also liked their burgers so much that we tried them 2x with different toppings. They also make very tasty (crispy) fries and we both loved their roasted beet, goat cheese salad. Since our condo was pretty close by, we opted for take-out one time and, ordering ahead online and pick-up was a breeze.

This little cafe is definitely a local place, prices definitely reflect a more reasonable tone with a variety of breakfast items including loco moco. They open at 6:30 am and it can get busy fast. We were happy to find this little gem.

When asked by the grumpy owner how many I wanted, I said two and she said, they don't sell two and pointed at a sign. I glanced quickly and said, I needed to buy a dozen? No is all she said. Okay, it's minimum of three. Told it would take 10 minutes which was fine since they are made to order. The place is a throwback to better days based on the design of the menu board. When our order came out, I saw auntie throw a spoonful of sugar in the bag. Nice! The order is double bagged to soak up the oil. Gotta rate these as a 3. A bit chewy and not much sugar clingy for some reason. Hubby compared to the ones from Komoda that he prefers. The search goes on for the best malasada!

Fresh off the plane, first stop in Maui is almost always Da Kitchen. We were worried it was lost forever a few years ago, but nope, they just moved down the road. It's definitely not a formal place, but so relaxed, which is what I look for in Maui. We shared the Kalbi Ribs, and we were starving, and we couldn't eat them all especially after diving into the veggie spring rolls and deep fried musubi. My wife that doesn't usually even like musubi, enjoyed the deep fried version Da Kitchen offered. So go for it..try it if you have never had musubi, try this deep fried version!

There was a nice breeze when we went. Would come back again for breakfast when in Kihei.

Service is fast and friendly workers are normally helpful with helping you choose a bowl that suite you Located on the south side of Maui inside Kihei Food Oasis at South Maui Gardens, the atmosphere makes the experience even better. There are tons of food truck options around with seating options I know there are plenty of acaí bowl spots on the island, but give this place a try and you'll be hooked!

You can tell they put real care into what they serve, and it shows in every sip. We ordered two lattes, one with brown sugar and one with vanilla, and both were amazing. The flavors were balanced, not overly sweet, and complemented the quality of the espresso perfectly. We also shared a cheese danish that my husband absolutely loved. He said it was one of the best he has ever had, and I have to agree -- buttery, flaky, and so fresh. The shop itself has such a fun, cozy vibe. There's even a swing inside, which adds such a unique and playful touch. It's the kind of place you actually want to hang out in, not just grab a coffee and go. Service was excellent. The barista was super friendly and even made the cutest latte art, which totally made my day. I ordered a 12 oz and loved that it came in a mug, while my husband got a 16 oz to-go. My only wish is that they would offer mugs for the larger sizes too. It would be a nice way to cut down on paper and plastic and make the experience even better. Overall, Akamai Coffee is a gem. Between the amazing drinks, delicious pastries, welcoming atmosphere, and thoughtful service, it's the kind of place you'll want to visit again and again. If you're in Maui, definitely make time to stop by. You won't regret it!

Ah this place is so good we went twice during our short trip!…read more If the line is out to the parking lot expect to wait 30-45 minutes. It helps to order ahead but you will need to order the day before - they don't do same day orders. Also some things you can't order online like their musubis, etc. However you can still get their malasadas and croissants, etc. We tried all their malasadas and our favs were the coconut cream and the lilikoi (passion fruit). We also tried their mango bread which was moist and fruity (no chunks of mango in it though) and the lime pie which was lovely! However, I think the big surprise for me was that the malasadas are smaller than I expected. The first time I had a malasada was at Leonard's in Oahu which are like...the size of your hand. These are more like golf ball sized. They were still excellent but I think that just caught me off guard. But we still enjoyed them!

It didn't feel like one flavor was overwhelming the other and it was silky and smooth. There are tons of parking spots in the area and food as well! The staff here was friendly as well and the shop is pretty cozy to hang out in. If I ever visited Maui again, I'd come back to visit this shop.

The crust was really well made, perfectly flaky. The service was great, and it seemed pretty empty inside when we visited, but if we weren't so full from lunch, we definitely would have stayed and enjoyed the ambiance. The decor was super cute!
