Paia Gelato : Best Gelato in Maui — Restaurant in Maui

I'm extremely disappointed with the portions ... I ordered the three scoops of pistachio, stracciatella and ube together and I gotta too much ube, perfect amount of stracciatella, but barely any pistachio. The pistachio was my favorite and I got a tiny amount of it literally I took too bites with that tiny ice cream spoon they give you and it was done. I even told her she didn't give me enough of the pistachio and showed her what I go she said she did and offered to give me a tiny bit more but it still wasn't close to comparison with the amount of the other flavors. The pistachio might have been their popular one because it was almost gone and don't get me wrong their ice cream flavors are great but I was really dissatisfied with the portions. If you like pistachio as much as I do, just get it by itself. If you get it with others flavors, you'll get a smaller portion of it. If I ever go back, I'm only ordering pistachio by itself. I only gave it three stars because the flavors were amazing but portions are terrible. I didn't get...

Friendly service. The sandwiches are freshly made while you wait. I got the veggie option called the Captain Aloha. It was delicious with a tomato humus. My Hubby got a Pau’au sandwich with ham, cream cheese and onions. It was amazing! We took the “picnic lunch” deal that gave you chips and a cookie with your sandwich for only $1 more. The seating is limited. But at 1:00 we ordered our sandwiches and were able to sit down right away. Parking is the biggest problem in this town. Just head to the big lot as you first come and wait for a place to open. It doesn’t take long. :)

After we walked around downtown- we came back to the shop for their ice cream. My Hubby got the local favorite “POG” ( pineapple/orange/guava). I got the mango sorbet. Nice portions and fresh...

We first visited Paia Gelato on our last trip to Maui seven years ago, and the gelato was so memorable we had to come back...three times during our latest trip! First for sandwiches and iced coffees: the sandwiches are available on a number of different breads and are fresh and perfect for a picnic lunch. My sister who has celiac disease loved that they had a gluten-free bagel option, and even though she is very sensitive to contamination she had no problems eating here! I loved the fresh sandwich rolls they bake in-house, myself. We came back later in the day for some gelato. The Sandy Beach flavor is to die for if you love a sweet and salty combo, and the Lilikoi Quark is so unique and refreshing. I highly recommend stopping on your way to Hana or just hanging out...
