Loved the mushrooms and grilled onions. Fried rice had sabory bits of burnt ends that made this fried rice really good! Super ʻono, peeps! Gotta try! Oatmilk latte had too much milk so the oat milk overpowered the coffee taste. It was okay, but needed the extra shot to get a coffee flavor in there. Take away note: See those packages of cookies on the dessert counter? get it if you see it. Great ambiance!

Here's what I don't like: They use VIP produce and other commercially grown, and flown in ingredients instead of sourcing locally, and their prices are too high to reflect this. The taste absolutely reflects this and if you know the difference, you taste the difference (yuck). Another competitive restaurant upcountry, Marlow, uses exclusively locally grown and sourced produce with exceptional quality, taste and execution, around the same price point. It is a no brainer for me; the taste, quality, and value are superior at later mentioned restaurant. Kula Bistro is over hyped and over priced, but in a pinch, we appreciate the convenience.

Located in the plaza, this spot was busy for Sunday brunch, and there was a small line when we…read morearrived. Thankfully, it moved quickly, and our food was served shortly after we ordered. Everything we tried was delicious, but our favorites were definitely the French toast and the pork fried rice. We also ordered the loco moco with kalua pork. It was good, but the kalua pork wasn't really our preference. Overall, we had a great experience with delicious food, efficient service, and would definitely come back.

If there is a line, the wait can be lengthy. One day she took my number and texted me when our table was ready (and I killed time at the lobby shops and artisan stands while my husband enjoyed the open air lobby views). The staff are kind, friendly and even offered area activity recommendations. The ocean view is incredible-- it can be enjoyed best on the patio, and from many of the indoor tables. The buffet includes unlimited coffee, tea, juices (love the POG juice), coke products (you can ask for a to go cup on your way out! I recommend asking for ice)-- as well as a made to order omelet. Then there is the entire buffet. As a vegetarian, I had plenty of options. Loved the avocado toast bar-- it was so flavorful! I loved the scones were different flavors each day. I eat eggs, so I sometimes had the scramble, sometimes a veggie omelet (I liked to top it with parmesan cheese from the avocado toast bar). I enjoyed the breakfast potatoes (they changed them up a bit each day), and the variety of salads. They even had a marinaded tofu! The place is kid friendly. There is a parking garage.

After a wonderful stay at the Wailea Beach Resort, this was unfortunately the one major…read moredisappointment of our trip. Humble Market Kitchen feels like a restaurant that knows it has a captive audience and has stopped trying very hard. The food was uninspired, generic, and significantly overpriced for what was delivered. Nothing was particularly bad, but almost nothing was memorable either. Breakfast was especially underwhelming. Skip the buffet. The eggs were watery and soupy, and the "Hawaiian sausage" turned out to be little more than sliced hot dogs. For a resort of this caliber in a destination known for incredible food, it felt surprisingly low effort. Service was probably the strongest part of the experience, but even that was average at best. I'd call it a 6 out of 10. Friendly enough, but not the level of hospitality you'd expect given the prices and setting. The disconnect is especially noticeable because the Wailea Beach Resort itself is fantastic. We genuinely loved our stay and would absolutely return to the property. That's what makes the restaurant so disappointing. It feels like a business operating inside a great resort rather than an extension of the resort experience. If you're staying at the Wailea Beach Resort, do yourself a favor and explore the many excellent dining options around Wailea instead. Maui has too many great restaurants to spend your vacation settling for this one.

We wanted something light and sweet in the summer sun, and the Papaya Glow Bowl was exactly what we needed. Deliciously sweet, but still healthy! Love a good, clean eats. The cream is especially unique, we'd never had anything like it! I really appreciated that they cut the bottom of the rind -- so that the papaya sat well, and made it easier to eat. We demolished it in minutes. :) Only thing I would say is, be prepared to wait a LONG time. We were there on a Sunday morning, and it took about 45+ minutes to wait in line and get food. But the environment and food were lovely!

But it felt nice to sit out side, cause it was hot but the wind kept it nice and cool. The only thing that was a bit annoying was the chickens lol but that's just a Hawaii thing. Anyway back to the food, we got overnight oats and a burger And both things were sooo good! The oatmeal was super filling, it had coconut cream on top with chia seeds honey drizzled on top. The burger was pretty good too. It was pretty big, and it came with fries. We also got the drink of the day which was lemonade with blueberries I believe. Honestly soo good! And it wasn't too overly expensive.

We went in the market, and the sweet woman working told us about it, but said the food truck was really good. We went over to the food truck. The staff there was very warm and welcoming as well. It was breakfast time, so we got a couple things to share - the banana bread French toast and a benedict. Everything was delicious and just what we needed after an early wakeup for the sunrise. The coffee was nice and hot for the cool morning as well. The grounds were very peaceful and had beautiful views. Everyone's food that was coming out looked and smelled amazing. Their lunch options sounded great too. Definitely worth a visit when driving through the area!

IMHO I've been to…read moreMaui countless times over the years, and I've always wanted to visit Kula Lodge located on the slopes of Haleakala. This year, we made it happen. The drive to the restaurant along curvy roads and tall, shady trees was enchanting. I'd heard the views from the restaurant were spectacular, and the unique outdoor canvas-covered "gazebos" added to its charm. Our party of four chose to eat under one of the outdoor gazebos. We ordered four morning cocktails: a Bloody Mary, $12, 2 Maui Mosas, $18, and a Kona Longboard, $9. Our entrees were the Upcountry Quiche, $27, Roasted Kabocha Squash, $28, Mochiko Chicken & Waffles, $30, and the Garlic Prawn Pizza, $30. While we waited for our food, we took the time to wander the beautiful botanical garden grounds and pathways. When our food did arrive, there was only one glitch. Instead of the Garlic Prawn Pizza, we received a different shrimp entree, which looked fantastic...but it wasn't what we ordered. They apologized and went to prepare the pizza. The food was delicious, and portions were big, so we definitely had leftovers. Overall, I am so glad we finally made it to Kula Lodge. Unfortunately, just 3 weeks after our visit, Kula Lodge suffered from a restaurant fire. I am absolutely positive they will re-open again. In the meantime, come support their Kula Marketplace, which is a wonderful gift shop, adjacent to the restaurant, and untouched by the fire. They need your support!!! I will definitely return!

That morning was the very first time I ever had a Kouign-Amann (or "Queen Amann" as my phone loves to autocorrect it, which honestly fits because it's royalty ), and it completely ruined me for all others. It set an impossibly high standard for every single one I've tried since! The flaky, buttery, caramelized layers were pure perfection. We didn't get a chance to try their savory menu offerings, but I can absolutely speak for the pastries - the others we tried were very good too, but that Kouign-Amann completely topped it off. We haven't been back since that trip, but I cannot wait to check them out again next time we visit Maui. If you're doing the early morning Haleakalā run, this is an absolute must-stop!
