Jaws Country Store — Restaurant in Maui

I live a mile from here, and love supporting a local business, however, today I paid $20 for avocado toast that was the absolute worst avocado toast I’ve had in my life. So silly since Maui should have the best avocado toast… It was 2 untoasted hunks of bread with watery avo spread thin like butter, (couldn’t taste avo at all…. Looked nothing like other pictures on here of their avo toast, so maybe a recipe change?), 3 see through slices of cucumber that were so thin, if you stacked them together it still wouldn’t be a normal slice, (again, not like other photos I’ve seen), and a couple tiny diced tomatoes. So avo, cucumber, and tomato were pointless they were so microscopic, (and shared between 2 pieces of bread). No sprouts like others have pictured, and waaaay less avo. Paid $3 extra for an egg on top of each, which was its only savior. It tasted like egg on bread. I can get an entire baguette from Mana for $3 and 2 eggs for $1. Try other things on their menu, like their burrito. Good coffee, and good brownies from inside the store. Lady at the window was sweet. Just couldn’t believe they’d serve something so insanely subpar and cheaply...

This was our go to breakfast/lunch spot while in Maui as it was so close to our place. I had the açai and the vegan Bahn mi and they were both delicious. It could be one of the best açai bowls I’ve ever had, which seems odd for a place like this! There was a slight issue with the Bahn mi though. I asked to have it vegan and the lady seemed very confident and assured me that could be done. Unfortunately, I was given a meat Bahn mi but with no sauce. Not too sure what went on there/if they know what vegan meant but we did have to tell them that vegan = no meat. They were totally fine to take it back and make me a new one with the vegan substitute (tempeh) and the tempeh was amazing! I just added sriracha as my sauce and it was still a great meal. Very grateful for the staff for being so accommodating and prompt at fixing up the mistake. Such a beautiful location and I’d love to come...

What....honestly surprised. I expected to stop and grab some water on the way to go take a joy ride.... but what I discovered has now left me curious about what else I can taste at this hidden gym of a Cafe! Ps...don't tell anyone 😆 lol.

So I ordered the empanadas...seriously....what! So beyond yummm. Filled with simple ingredients that are packed with such perfect balance of flavor and the outside was not only cooked magnificently...it was also beautiful with an impression...I feel like I should start taking photos for this page!

The wood fire stove.....ummm and the curiosity I have about the pizza...that's my next review.

The matcha she made like a pro....I had her put oat milk and honey...

The outside area to sit...so spacious and nice.... What a great little surprise and I highly recommend!

Go try the empanadas and lmk what you...
