Makawao Garden Cafe in Maui

I always get the curry chicken salad. This is a small locally-owned operation so make sure you have plenty of time for lunch and enjoy the courtyard.

Did not get to eat here but had the nirvana fruit smoothie and it was arguably the best I had in Hawaii.

Awesome grinds !!

Friendly staff. Food was ok, but not great.

Cute small cafe in the historical town!

Good food, came with a tour.

The location is cute. Service was kind and prompt but the food was lacking. The ceasar salad had precooked, possibly store bought, chicken and no tomatoes. The bacon and brie was highly forgettable. However the prices are low so you get what you pay for.

The fish sandwiches were superb and the smoothies were excellent. Try the nirvana smoothie!

We really enjoyed the Makawao Garden Cafe today. The weather was a bit blustery, but after visiting the Haleakalā crater, pretty much everything felt warm! The cafe is easy to miss, as it's just off the street and kind of tucked in behind another building. We both had the crab and avocado sandwich, which was delicious. There was a family of chickens hanging around that were very entertaining as well. The staff was friendly and the prices were very reasonable.

Rated way too high. Good service, friendly but lunch was not a 5 star value.Turkey Avo Sand boring, Avo Crab Sand was like runny tuna fish.. filling but lack of flavor and texture. A "split fee" of $2.50 gets you 1 half Sand with some Ceasar salad and a Big Plate. (The turkey Sand came cut in half with the same (if not more volume) salad.) Don't "split" an order. The Brie and bacon half sand was okay but overpriced.

Great food

Nice sandwich place with indoor and outdoor seating. A great place to get lunch with a friend or to have a work lunch.

Fresh, delicious food at a reasonable price.

Cute place to lunch in middle of Makawao town. Fresh food, quickly prepared, but with limited menu. Friendly service. Limited hours (lunch).

Delicious crab and avocado sandwich. Great atmosphere.

I had the best eggplant sandwich of my life and I love eggplant I tried everywhere I go they are absolutely the best it was so good I went back for a second time the same day

Good salads, great service

Great service. Tasty and fresh crab and avocado sandwich but too much green.

Nirvana smoothie and a Turkey sandwich on fresh focaccia bread... PERFECT!!!

The cutest little area to have lunch and relax in an old cowboy town on Maui

Nice cafe for a sandwich. I had the roasted chicken, the hero of the sandwich was the focaccia bread, it was fresh baked and toasted, and awesome. My friend had the curry salad and I wish I would have gotten that with a slice of focaccia. No refills on the drinks is a bummer. Service was really good as well as the prices, one of the cheaper meals we have had here on the island. Great setting for when it rained.

“Catch of the day” is a thinly sliced sliver of fish served over Costco lettuce and carrots with a dressing that has little to no flavor at all. Wish I would’ve saved my money and eaten elsewhere. No one came back to check on us or anyone else around us. Once they get your order the next time you see them is when they hand you your bill.

There was no one else here when we arrived, we ordered 3 drinks while we waited and 3 sandwiches to go. Not super quick but we were in no real rush. When we ate our sandwiches on the road to Hana we were so happy to have decided to stop here. The chicken and veggies were very flavorful. The bread was delicious as well, and one of the sandwiches was on gluten-free bread some of the best I've ever had!

Fresh, friendly & delicious. I had an amazing crab sandwhich on home made bread. Chickens are fun. Great service. Low key & shaded.

We enjoyed the delicious and fresh food, the friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. Outstanding!

Grumpy staff. Just got an order to go, son had takeout from nearby grocery store and was run off for bringing in outside food. We're not even staying! Rulez be rulez, gyarr. Still reading? Food was great!!! Prices for Maui are unbeatable. Crab and avocado sandwich was good. So was bacon and brie. Get two different sandwiches and split with a partner, or just keep eating there. Caeser salad dressing was a little unique without being weird. Lettuce was fresh and crispy, just right. I'd stay and eat there instead of to go. The chickens are a hoot. Parking on the main drag is a matter of luck. Public lot with stairs behind the cafe is super convenient.

Lovely place to stop before planning a day outdoors. Lite and delicious sandwich, soup, salads and smoothies.

The best secret in makawao the food was amazing and service was great I highly recommend this place

Very disappointing, the food used to be delicious, but they are cutting corners all the time, the portions are getting smaller and more watered down each time I go there. So sad.

Just awesome!

Recently went there with friends visiting from the Mainland. These folks go there every year when they come to Maui just to have their tuna sandwich. Well, it was a Sunday and they wouldn't make her a tuna sandwich because on "Sundays" they only serve breakfast. Not only that, when she requested a little more spinach on her salad the server said "NO" because they needed to make sure that they had enough to last for Monday!! I won't ever go there again never the less take guests.

What a disaster. We were seated for lunch, then a tour showed up and we then had to wait 45 minutes to order. We should have left, but had hi Hope's for this place. Then after eating 1.5hrs later the owner/ manager came back and had raised our bill by 2.00 as the waitress had supposedly written down the wrong prices. Very disappointing. We will never be back and will not recommend this place to anyone.

Decent sandwich in pretty courtyard.

Bacon and Brie on Focaccia was excellent. Service was fast and friendly. Prices were very good.

Makawao Garden Cafe has a warm friendly atmosphere with healthy sandwiches and salads made to order. The dressings and bread are made right there at the Cafe. They offer gluten free options and always pay special attention to any and all dietary needs. Truly one of a kind on Maui.

When you visit Up Country in Maui, this is a must stop and eat. Great food, Great service, and the chickens have the run of the place lol. We so enjoyed our meal here, we came back a week later. You won't be disappointed. One of the best places on the island.

Delicious and very reasonably priced lunch and smoothies.

Great little place for quick bites

Very rich food or friendly service

Okay sandwiches. The chicken Caesar salad was very bland. Outside seating was okay, actually a little chilly in the shade with the wind. Party of five ate lunch for $62. Would have paid more for better food.
