Maui Gelato

We stopped in for the waffle for breakfast. It was fantastic. Fresh fruit, fun exciting combinations. We got the Haleakala. Service was kind and quick. Great price. We didn’t get to the ice cream. But the flavors were exciting and smelled delicious.

Walked by yesterday morning and the smell was intoxicating! Came back this morning with the family and experienced the best Belgian waffles I have ever had! With many options to choose from we all were happy as they tasted even better than they smelled! Will definitely visit this place again!

Really awesome staff with great ice cream flavors. The ice cream and the cone were delicious.

Best price for shave ice. The syrup has a better flavor than any other shave ice stand I’ve visited and the ice cream is the freaking best. This is our go to place from now on!

you walk in and the smell of freshly cooked waffle cones hits your nose immediately. what’s to follow will certainly not disappoint! i had the double chocolate brownie gelato and my spouse had the oreo ice cream. both were so great!

I haven’t been to any other Gelato places so I can’t compare to much but the lady who helped us was super nice and funny! There is a chalk wall all around the and looked like whoever can write on it, which is pretty cool.
I got the double chocolate brownie gelato and it was yummy! They have so many choices or gelato. The medium size looks small but it comes pretty packed in and is plenty.
I will be back to try their waffles :)

This morning I rode down to watch the beach wake up. On my way home I stoped at Maui Gelato. I had passed their yummy signage many a time going down the side walk towards the Rainbow Mall in Kihei. Maui Gelato is in the dolphin Mall and is not that easy for me to access because of the one cracked and bumpy narrow wheelchair ramp. Yet once I made it through the obstacles along the way I was presented with a great view of the ocean via Kam 1 lawn. This place is tucked away right behind PizzHut and even catches the trades when they’re present. There was a huge variety of flavors and combos to choose from. The place was clean and bright and smell delicious. I liked that the owner was preparing my fruit for my Sampler Waffle Plate from un-​cut fresh fruit. Yummy! Didn’t catch his name and will for sure visit again to say hi and try out the gelato! The guy was pleasant and we chatted while he prepared my order. When he finished he provided me a good grocery bag with handles to tote my surprise for Jan Moser!
Having said all of the above, I have to say, for me, that it’s more about friendly, food quality, cleanliness, all in that order. My second view is, How do they treat the locals. Most small businesses around here are great with tourists, me, I look for genuine aloha. 4 Star is fair for this place over all rating.
The food, after a 5 minute wheelchair ride arrived still slightly warm and most delicious!

Best Gelato ever! Gosh, I’m so glad I found this place. I went 4 times in 2 days! Great service, I didn’t get her name but her sister owns the place and she was great. Very funny! I will definitely come back when I return to this island. Strongly recommend it! Gelato, mochi, waffles, and more yumminess!!!

We went in intending to try shave ice but then were confronted with all the amazing gelato and ice cream choices. Skip the shave ice — who needs sugary syrup when you can have gelato? My son and I both had the toasted coconut macadamia nut — amazing! Need to go back one more time before we go home. Hub had the kona ice cream and loved every spoonful.

Great waffle. Got the Nutella and banana waffle. The service was great. Order was done in 5 minutes.

They piled on the shaved ice very high and were quite accommodating of our kids’ dairy allergies. Our server was the owner’s sister and very friendly. Next time we are in Kihei, we will definitely come back!

Strawberry guava is to die for ! The shaved ice also amazing the Melona flavor was my favorite ! Great place so friendly we loved it !

Truly a hidden gem. Our resort is walking distance within this place. Their waffles are amazing and crispy. Also have so many options for gelato. The sausage was delicious too. A little pricy but I WILL be back.

Such a cozy place when we first walked in and the owner helps you herself.
This is the place to go if you want gelato or great waffles!
the tropical trio was great, although the kiwi does have an acquired taste on top of the waffles, they are still d’ lish
The waffles are pretty big so sharing might be the way to go

First time there, super cute shop, lots of choices, mochi ice cream, roselani ice cream, waffles, soft serve, gelato. Chalkboard walls to keep the kids occupied. Really good cherry cheesecake gelato. Prices were a little high, but the quality of gelato was worth the price.
One problem, tried to go back the following weekend on a Saturday, they were closed. Note on the door «we’re closed until tomorrow»
Next problem, go back a week later, closed again on a Sunday. Not sure about wasting gas and going back to this place to take the gamble that they’ll be opened. If you’re in the area and see it open, stop in, they really do have good stuff.

Delicious and not over priced like other ice cream shops.
We asked for the kid cone. It’s the perfect size and price!
The flavor a of both ice cream and gelato are scrumptious!

Came here after dinner at Café O’Lei 20min before closing and then the day after about 30min before closing.
Pros: Mango, Butter Pecan, Chocolate Peanut Butter and Salted Caramel gelato & Kona Mud Pie ice cream
Cons: almost gave 3-​stars because of the lack of service and friendliness the first time around, but they redeemed themselves the next day. It’s pricey for what you get, but then again, it’s Maui.
Overall: Gelato made on site and a large variety of flavors to choose from. It was good.

5 stars for parking (5 steps from the front door)
5 stars for service (we even asked for samples)
5 stars for cleanliness !! (This is a big deal coming from me, in Maui!!)
The afrogatto tasted amazing!
Fresh roasted pecans in the (butter pecan) ice cream!
Yes! Please stop by.
The owners are great!

I tried a few flavors here, and I just really didn’t care for their gelato. It was too icy and overly sweet. I give it two stars instead of one, because the service was good.

Awesome gelato in Kihei!
We stopped by a few times. Once to buy some gelato for a Thanksgiving Day dessert and then once for a treat. The product is awesome and they have a great selection of flavours.
We heard about their gluten free waffle breakfast and wanted to try but just didn’t get around to it this time. The waffle irons are dedicated to gluten free waffles we were told so that is good news. No contamination with previous gluten filled waffles should be an issue.
We bought some pints of pineapple and lilikoi gelato as we were informed they are definitely gluten free. I also tried a waffle cone later on with the Salted Caramel and Hana Road flavours (I’m not celiac, my partner is).
They do lose a few stars because some of the staff’s knowledge of gluten-​free was dubious. It doesn’t sound like they use dedicated scoops for gluten free items (the staff said it’s okay they are sitting in water between scoops). They also had to check in the back about what items were gluten free and which weren’t. It would be nice if the flavours were labelled in the display case. The dirty free options were labelled that way I believe.
I give 5 stars for the products I tried. Will try more including the gluten-​free waffles.
I take away 2 stars for for dubious knowledge and handling of GF products. This can easily be rectified with some staff training, improved food handling practises, and labelling. Their practises may be adequate for someone who choses to be gluten-​free, but for people with Celiac disease they really do need to see improved knowledge and practises to feel comfortable buying food here.
I will update my review next time I am in Maui and if I have seen some changes.
The gelato is great here so stop in if you want some good priced, tasty gelato!
If you are Celiac, be careful and ask questions.
