Artisan Ice Cream — Restaurant in Maui

I was spacing out in my car about to go into Mana foods when I saw a hippy dude eating an icecream on a bench under an open window that said ice cream. He looked like he was really into it so I thought I'll go see what's going on. So I walked into this cute tiny icecream parlor with a nice variety of home made icecream. Their flavors were all really tasty. The girls behind the counter were super nice and encouraged me to try every flavor I wanted. I was super happy to see that their sample spoons were not made of plastic and so they wouldn't contribute to the trash plague. I'm not Vegan but I dont eat eggs, so I was really happy to see 4 yummy vegan choices of icecream and a bunch of dairy icecream that was eggless. I opted for a single scoop bowl but they let me pick two flavors and the serving size was generous for being under $5! I got the house made salted caramel sauce ontop of the Maui coffee and chocolate fudge icecream. I also tried the maple whipped cream... omg. Its really great to have another sweet treat option in Paia that's not just another pricey gelato spot. I'm definitely going back! Ps.. it was so yummy I didnt even think to take a picture... but here's the dude that made me...

As a young tourist traveling from San Francisco, California, I am well experienced with top of the line ice cream and this ice cream shop has touched my heart and is the peak of all ice cream shops that I have been to. During my stay in Maui, I have traveled to this ice cream shop that is located 40 minutes away from my hotel for 2 days specifically wanting to go here. Not only did the peanut butter and chocolate cookies capture my heart with their delicate perfection that was baked with love with the perfect combination of all ingredients making a Mona Lisa straight out of the oven, the delicious and unique flavors of the ice cream along with the cookies have been savored by the tastebuds of my family and I. My brother had the Strawberry Mango Li Hing ice cream the first time we went there and on the second time, he had the Dutch Coco Chocolate while I enjoyed a simply unique flavor- the Earl Grey Tea ice cream. The aroma of the freshly baked cookies drew us in and many others so don’t be afraid to walk in because of the amazing smell of the cookies. Thank you and have an...

Great Ice Cream, Unpleasant Service

We stopped by this ice cream shop on a quiet Tuesday afternoon. It wasn’t very busy, and we asked to sample a few flavors. After trying one we didn’t enjoy, we asked for coffee ice cream instead. The ice cream itself was delicious—rich and flavorful, though it melted quickly in the warm weather.

Unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. The girl who helped us seemed visibly annoyed when we didn’t like the first sample. She rushed us, asking how many scoops and whether we wanted a cup or cone before we’d even decided on a flavor, making it clear she wasn’t interested in letting us sample more options. The experience was uncomfortable, and we left without tipping, getting just one ice cream instead of two — an action that likely earned us another unpleasant look.

While the ice cream was good, the unfriendly attitude took away from the experience. A sweet treat should come with a smile, and I can’t recommend this place when the service leaves such a...
