“AMAZING all around. The service, food and atmosphere at Marlow are impeccable.

All the staff were checking on us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and to see if we needed anything throughout our meal, not just our server. And all of them were so kind and helpful.

Every single dish was perfect, no notes. We had the smashed potatoes, mortadella pizza, a special shrimp and lemon pasta and the olive oil cake with gelato. All the dishes were perfectly balanced and cooked to perfection. I wish I could eat here daily.

The music was top notch (and not even that loud) - 90s house and hip hop? YES!”

“We came across this place while driving around Maui one morning, no problem finding street parking. Once inside there was a short line and few tables still open. There was also the cutest store cat lounging on one of the couches, everyone stopped to give the cat some pets before ordering! Clean restroom, and the staff were nice, our drinks came out pretty quickly. We enjoyed a latte and an iced matcha, they gave me different options to sweeten the matcha how I liked so highly appreciate that! The breakfast bagels were tasty too. While it’s a little pricey, everything was good and we’d would love to come back here again!”

Thanks to your lending me your phone and your precise directions, I was able to return the rental car in Kihei, and was provided another Sentra to "break-in"..... Best Regards and Happy New Year!!!

“Literally the best vegan ice cream Eye’ve ever had and really ice cream in general from when Eye wasn’t vegan. There are only about four vegan options but Eye swear they’re soooo delicious. My favorites are the mint chip and the brown sugar. Updated from previous review on 2026-03-28”

“We got iced coffee, tropical shaved ice, poke, nachos, and the banana bread dessert (heavenly). Dessert was to die for. Everything was delicious.”

“Great plate lunch crispy salads everything I have been there. Disappointed in the burgers and eggs on the loco moco. different crew on different days.”

“Happened to be walking by, saw how busy it was, and loved the chill vibe so I waited for a table and so glad I did. Staff is EXTREMELY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL! Food was outstanding! The breakfast burrito was 10/10! The smash burger is one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long long time. The pancakes were fluffy and full of flavor! Would 110% recommend Cafe Mambo and definitely worth the wait if they don’t have an empty table!”

“My wife took me here for my birthday and it did not disappoint. Everything was 1st class, from the service, atmosphere, music and especially the food! I was ready for a meal of exceptional quality and got not only quality, but quantity. Beautifully plated and fun. Definitely the best dining experience of my life.”

“We've been vacationing in Maui for years and we make the trek every time from Kihei to Makawao just for the Komoda Bakery malasadas, stick doughnuts, and butter rolls. You know it must be good when the line up before they open consists primarily of locals. They never disappoint, thanks Komoda Bakery for always being a highlight!”

“I have had several opportunities to eat these unique and delicious cookies. I was attending a wedding and they were part of the dessert table. Then I received a batch as a gift. I plan to buy several gift cards to pass on to family and friends so they can also try this delicious treat”

“The staff, beer, and 100% the view!”

“When visiting Maui don’t miss Paia, and when visiting Paia don’t miss Choice Health Bar. If light and delicious is your thing than you will be thrilled when you discover this place. Amazing owners and staff makes this a restaurant you don’t want to miss.”
