Samples done on metal spoons which I love. Great variety of flavor and all delicious and creamy. Clean and excellent service with a smile. You can get 2 flavors in the small or 3 in the large. read more

This little ice cream shop was almost a miss while walking down the street because the signage really doesn't stand out. So glad we doubled back though, because it ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. The pistachio flavor was honestly one of the best I've ever had -- true pistachio flavor without being overly sweet, and incredibly creamy. Loved it so much we came back a second time! read more

Paia Gelato - Mint and matcha - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Paia, Hawaii

Great selection! Unique flavors that are well executed and extremely friendly service. Cute interior with a few benches to sit on and enjoy your gelato! I got the big island mac nut coffee with ube which was perfect and not too sweet, had great texture as well. My daughter got the POG that tasted mostly like orange but was still delicious and refreshing. My other daughter got the Mango and coconut lime ginger. Let me just tell you that this was quite the combination! It was fresh, and so so so good! So well executed! We will be thinking about this genius flavor for the rest of our lives. read more

We stopped at Paia Gelato on our way back from Hana and it was pretty good! I didn't realize at first that both gelato flavors I chose were non-dairy - Dark Chocolate and Lilikoi. In fact, half the flavor selection was dairy-free. The interior had minimal decor and powerful air conditioning, and the staff members were friendly and great about giving samples. Of my two flavors, the Dark Chocolate was my favorite, and they went great together. The only downside was that they seemed softer than normal gelato (more melty?), but that might've been due to the non-dairy aspect. Overall, worth the stop! read more

There was already at line at 7:20am! We stopped by for some caffeine and smoothies for our road to Hana adventures. The store is cute and have little board/signs that give you tips on road to Hana and recommendations on what to bring! I got a regular iced latte with no added flavor and the coffee tasted so good!If you know you know! My friend got the ube affogato and it was delicious with that coffee! read more

We love Paia Gelato and Sorbetto and buy it at the ABC store whenever in Maui. Great to find the store while in Paia. The flavors are incredible and so creamy. We love them all but Haupia is our best and Thai Ginger Lime is a current favorite. Highly recommend wherever you can get it - buy it! read more

Delicious dessert after a long day on the Road to Hana! We got to sample lots of tasty flavors and ended up gravitating towards the sorbettos. We shared a cup with guava, lilikoi, and mango. Back on the mainland and thinking about it! read more

This is perhaps the BEST gelato I've had while on vacation! The flavors are creamy, rich, smooth and the gelato batches are handmade fresh every day at the paia shop!! There are so many flavors it was difficult to choose what flavors to get! The shop itself and the town of Paia are adorable! We ended up trying sandy beach and guava, and both were fantastic! This is a must-do stop when in Maui! read more

Thee best gelato, thee best service and thee kindest people. This spot is so cute and serves great gelato. My breakfast sandwich was good but my gelato??? My gelato (chocolate peanut butter) came from Jesus and he plopped it in the barrel. That stuff was heavenly. So glad I don't live here. I would be a million pounds. God bless this team! I pray that the Lord blesses your business all the more! read more

Amazing gelato. Finn was so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We tried some flavors and it was so hard just to pick a few! Highly, highly recommend! read more

Very friendly environment with lots of choices, dairy and nondairy. I got Lilikoi which was yummy but on the tart side. I paired it with a creamy Haupia and it was delicious! I had a young fella make my cup and I wish he paid more attention to the ratio. I got like 70:30 lilikoi to haupia. 50:50 would've been a perfect balance of tart and creamy. read more

Not a bad gelato spot, but for ice cream related places I'd actually go to the Artisan Ice Cream store, which is a right-hand turn down the next street (one turns one way). The service was very nice/friendly and the ambiance is pretty cool too. Their strawberry flavor was my favorite. read more

Nice people but it's NOT an acai bowl. it's sherbet/gelato packed with refined sugar. Sugary granola, sugary toppings...a revolting "breakfast"... Avoid this poison ... go across the way to Choice Health Bar to get real whole foods. read more

We were craving some ice cream and saw this on our way to our hotel. I choose the regular I got a scoop of pistachio and the salted caramel.

Visiting Paia in Maui, and decided to stop in and try this gelato place. I'm very picky about my gelato since I know the real deal in Europe, especially Sicily. This was the real deal. Very very creamy and flavorful. The staff here are wonderful, very welcoming and happy to have you taste various flavors before ordering. If you're in this area, are you sure to stop by and treat yourself to some delicious gelato. read more

4 years later and still the best gelato on the island!! Man, if I can eat this everyday I would. The gelato has the perfect, I mean perfect, texture and flavor. It's incredible how great the flavors are and even incredible how every bite tastes like the first one. The pistachio was a hit this time. It tasted exactly like Italy! I would come here each time after I land. Super friendly staff and very spacious environment. read more

We had some time to kill before our flight and I wanted my son to have one final hoorah Hawaiian treat. Love that Paia Gelato was opened early!!! The parking is street parking but the location is super convenient and easy to find! Love the aesthetics in Paia Gelato and customer service was fantastic - super friendly, great aloha vibes, great connection, great smile! My son is a foodie and so when I asked him about the vanilla gelato he chose he said it was the best he's ever had! Would definitely visit again if I'm on the island. Thanks for feeding his soul! read more

Delicious fresh house-made gelato served here, we were invited by owner Tiffany as she was handing out promo flyers near our condo in Kihei. We came to the little hippie-esque town of Paia to shop and realized we're were near. I sampled some tastes of dairy and nondairy gelato, all delicious, but I was over the surf with the coconut gelato! Superb! We also pick up some fresh deli sandwiches to take with us up to the Hookipa Lookout (best windsurfing beach in US) to have a Maui style picnic. Great staff, friendly Aloha welcome and incredible gelato. The deli sandwich's we're fresh, great quality ingredients and very satisfying as well. I did try two other gelato emporium's on the island and hands down, Paia Is The BEST! Mahalo Tiffany! read more

Paia Gelato - Exceptional Gelato! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Paia, Hawaii

Absolutely delightful! I stopped by before we headed out to Hana. The ladies behind the counter were so sweet and gave road to Hana advice to every patron. They have everything you need from sun block, bug spray, nausea medication or alternatives. The best part is that they have dairy free gelato options! She recommended the passion fruit, dark chocolate raspberry, one that is the same flavor as one of their shakes (coconut & strawberry) and a combination passion fruit, mango and pineapple (which I really enjoyed). You cannot go wrong with any of these except not getting the large size for 3 flavors! I regretted only getting two flavors. They also have local jams, jellies, and coffee. This is a wonderful pit stop that I highly recommended. They open at 7am so it's not as difficult to find street parking. read more

Yummy gelato! The super friendly staff allowed us to try several flavors before we ordered. All were delicious! Can't go wrong! Super cute shop! Would definitely recommend! read more

I visited Paia Gelato with a friend recently, and I was blown away by the number of options we had. They have both dairy and non dairy options, and their selection includes a lot of the local exotic flavors. It's a quiet ice cream shop with no indoor seating. It had a small town ice cream shop vibe. The person who was helping us was super nice. She let us try a lot of different flavors. My friend got a non dairy gelato flavor with lilikoi, and I got the salted caramel. The salted caramel was pretty decent, though it was slightly more salty The consistency and the texture were pretty good. My friend liked his non dairy lilikoi flavored ice cream as well. The shop wasn't busy when we were there and the staff was super nice. read more

What a cute spot in a lovely area with plenty of shopping and things to do! It's the perfect place to stop for some gelato/or a drink as you're exploring. I actually did not try the gelato (although I trust all of the other wonderful reviews), and my partner and I got a smoothie and some kombucha instead, which were 5/5. You can tell how fresh the ingredients are in the smoothie, and it was super refreshing. Great service, too! Super friendly staff. read more

Very yummy gelato and friendly service! I give it 4 stars because they are stingy portion wise. All of the other gelato/ice cream places in town give you a heaping portion of whatever you order. So it's almost like you get a scoop of ice cream on top of your cup. Here they only give you enough to fill the cup which is weird I've never seen a ice cream place do that before. read more

We stopped at Paia Gelato / Hana Picnic Lunch Company in Paia, Hawaii as we were starting our Road to Hana journey, and it was the perfect way to begin the day. We were greeted by Gina, who was incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. She seemed like a true local with great insight and gave us excellent advice for our trip. The sandwiches we picked up were fresh, delicious, and perfect for the long drive. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone heading out on the Road to Hana--great food and even better service. A must-stop! read more

The best. Paia Gelato is simply the best. The staff here are so genuinely warm and friendly. The gelato and sorbet are rich in flavor without being overly sweet. We came here on our first day and had to take the rest of the gang back here after. Almost did 2 rounds in one day since it was that good! What We Ordered: + Guava Sorbet, 5/5 + Dark Chocolate Sorbet, 5/5 + Pistachio Gelato, 5/5 They had GUAVA the first time we went in, and it paired SO WELL with the DARK CHOCOLATE! But my ultimate fave is DARK CHOCOLATE paired with PISTACHIO. If you love a true and rich dark chocolate, you'll appreciate their Dark Chocolate. read more

Love the flavors and the smooth texture of the gelato. It's not the cheapest you can find for the sizes, but if is very good.

Tiffany went above and beyond in our time of having her as a vendor. From generous tastings to punctual communication, she was incredible. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and always does so with a huge smile. Everyone LOVED the gelato, and thought it was the perfect sweet treat. So grateful to have had Paia Gelato for our special day! read more

Half of the offering were dairy free! Most places only offer 1 or 2! My daughter was SO EXCITED to have delicious choices!

Great Gelato and even better service from the Night crew. They were so inviting and made Me laugh after a hard day work read more

I like coming to this place to get gelato. But I feel that if you are not a tourist or if you are not visiting once a week or more, I don't get it knowledge I don't feel welcome. Gelato always tastes good, and I like it because there are exotic local fruitation flavors to choose from, like passion orange guava and lilikoi. This place is very clean and they have a waste basket so you don't have to throw your opala outside. So I'm giving this place a four star because I really like it. I really love the flavors. I didn't give them the five stars because of service to the locals. read more

Had the Carmel and Chocolate. Traditional gelato. Smooth and creamy, a must if you're in town or on the highway and need a breather.

Yum! We were cruising around before checking into our hotel and discovered this little part of Maui. We thought we'd have a little Gelato and glad we did. After tasting two flavors I decided on Watermelon. Fantastic! I don't even remember what flavor my son chose cause I just was in a zone enjoying this treat. It was like eating fresh, creamy watermelon. We went back two days later and I ordered the Thai Ginger. It may have been Thai Lemon Ginger but whatever the name, it was fabulous! Clean, cool and great staff. A definite must visit. read more

As there was a wait for dinner, we decided to walk the main street of Paia. Since we were hungry and had hiked 8 miles prior, we ordered some gelato from here. You can get a max of 2 flavors for a small cup. The lady working the counter was really nice. Letting us have samples of their different gelato flavors. She was very helpful, giving us suggestions and answering questions. I ended up going with a mix of honey lavender and lilikoi, which is a passion fruit grown in Hawaii. The honey lavender was really good!! It was sweet, but the sweetness was tempered by the lavender, which added a slight bitterness (in a good way). The lilikoi was way too tart. In hindsight, I should've gone with a sweeter choice, but at least I could say now that I've tried lilikoi. I would've given them 4 stars because I wasn't a fan of the lilikoi, but overall, the customer service of the lady working the counter made it a 5 star experience. They also serve coffee and other variations of gelato in other sizes as well, from cakes to pints. I would recommend this place, especially when it's warm outside. Or you're just in the mood for something cold and refreshing. Or when you're walking past this place in the small but lovely town of Paia!! read more

$8ish with a cone and two flavors sampled a good amount, but settled on guava and haupia. Guava is good if you like guava, but the COCONUT was delicious. creamy and just knocked my socks off. being in hawaii has allowed my enjoyment of coconut to blossom. waffle cone Good but not great, my fav is still kansha creamery (torrance, ca) cant go wrong with any of the fruity flavors. not overly sweet and they are heavy handed on the portions. service was really friendly, and they also offer other items for sale: seasoning salts/spices, nuts, candy, hana tonic, to go pints..
