50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Kula

“Do yourself a favor and take the scenic drive UpCountry to the Kula Bistro. They have the best lunch by far we've had on Maui! Our server Benny was fantastic and really sincerely cared about taking care of us. My husband walked across the street and bought a bottle of wine. The restaurant encourages this and they do not charge a corkage fee (they even supplied an ice bucket for our white wine without being asked!) We started with their delicious freshly baked bread basket - (5 pieces of homemade bread with yummy garlic butter). We then split the grilled mahi mahi sandwich on homemade foccia with fries. It was absolutely mouth-watering and plenty for the two of us. (Benny said the portions were large and he was correct!) They have a beautiful mouth-watering display case of tempting cheesecake selections but we were too full. Next time! Benny told us about the history from when the building housed a meat locker (the walk-in freezers are still there and used for their dining supplies) After that it was Cafe 808 and now the Kula Bistro.
They had the cattle ranchers in the area all come in and burn their unique brands on the wooden wall. I think 45 of them. How cool! The food was fantastic and the staff the best you'll find on the island!“

“Best Food truck we’ve been to in Maui Hawaii 🙂!! Trust me we tried a lot. So healthy and delicious flavor love the chicken stir fry! Salad dressing is amazing. In my opinion they have the best Smoothies! Don’t hesitate to stop and try“

“Overindulged! The joyful experience of our 36th anniversary dinner will be one that we’ll be chasing over and over again! We were overindulged from the moment we sat down at the table with the most beautiful view, surrounded by soothing live music. The care and concern from each and every staff member was evident, making sure that the best possible bottle of wine for our meal was chosen, that our water glass was never too empty, that each plate delivered was well executed and well presented and explained, when done each time dishes were taken away quickly, the pacing of the meal was well done, just everything and everything! Perfection! And a special note to Sasha- we already noted during our meal service- the finesse and skill you brought to the level of service was just outstanding! Kudos to you and to the team that supports you in making sure that each of your tables gets the attention that they deserve! To say that our anniversary dinner was memorable is truly an understatement! It will be that feeling of being so well taken care of and that every orchestrated element enhanced our celebration will be what brings us back over and over again. We already are making plans to come back and I know we will be coming back over and over again! With our deepest appreciation! …and then the food! Truly the best farm to table experience on Maui! From the amuse buche course(s!) that wet our appetite for more goodies to come. The locally sourced ingredients shined with their freshness and the finesse in which they were presented. Two highlights were the Maui onion soup presented with the perfect amount of cheese and puffed pastry topping- just perfectly seasoned. And then the Haleakala filet mignon, once again perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned and topped with compound butter that was melted at table side with rosemary. (It feels like we are saying perfect too much! But we do mean it!) Then to end the evening celebration with our chocolate lava cake surrounded by white and milk chocolate fondue with banana bread and fresh fruits was simply scrumptious! Chef Junior Ulep, Mahalo for our special night, with our deepest grateful hearts, we appreciate your mana and the joyfulness in which you have chosen to feed us and our fellow patrons at Kula Lodge Restaurant!“

The food was absolutely delicious, and the belly dancers were beautiful and fun to watch! The owner and everyone were so pleasant! The whole experience was fabulous! Thank you! We will be back again!“

“One of the best dinners we had in Maui!“

“The menu has changed. Pasta items are no longer available, but several new appetizers and 'fold' Za'Co sandwiches. The new appetizers looked very good and our (new) Italian was great. We got a combo with drink and small salad. The salad was very nice, fresh & good. Sorry I missed photos of the new menu card & sandwich (Za'Co).“

“We live in Kihei and order pick-up from 808 Deli at least once a week, usually more often. Healthy, fresh, creative, delicious food.“

“The staff is super nice! I think the spam musubi is over-rated/over-hyped. The rice to meat ratio is completely off, i.e. you're eating a mouthful of rice and a tiny bit of spam. Also, it's $4, whereas at 7-11 it's only $1.99! The kalbi ribs are super tasty, but for a $50 entree, it's on the high side.“

“Unbelievable experience. If you come to Maui and don’t dine here you will Be missing the meal of a lifetime and an incredible French bakery beside. You must go to Maui Gardens and experience his cooking.“

“Our go to when we are on Maui. Best eggs Benedict anywhere on the island!“

Everything is 100% plantbased and anything even the lemonades that are made there taste amazing! Definitely CANNOT miss out on the chipa waffle!!!!! It is so so good and packed with a rainbow of flavors and the owners are amazing and put so much love to everything as well. The matcha is to DIE for as well! I went today after my 100th chipa of the year and of course it was amazing. Go check it out, you wont regret it 💚🌀😊🍄“

“No artificial colors or flavors = delicious! We are here on vacation and had never had Ululani's before. She recommended that I try the Sunset Beach with Coconut Ice Cream as the base and sweetened condensed milk as a topping; it was fabulous!! Thank you! We'll be back!“

“Really good service and food. Recommend getting the banana bread French toast ♥️“

“This is our first time dining at this absolutely amazing Thai Restaurant as my very good friend chose it for its gluten free dishes. The first thing that really caught our attention immediately is the very unique and absolutely wonderful Thai Inspired decorations and memorabilia that adorned the entire restaurant followed by authentic Thai music playing through the speakers. My lovely friend ordered the Snow Crab Fried Rice and the Tom Kha Soup and I can absolutely tell you that it was so so delicious! Our Thai Lady server was absolutely wonderful and attentive and at the end of our amazing meal, she even brought us complimentary homemade Thai tapioca pudding which was so so Ono! A Very Big Mahalo to all the very hardworking staff at My Thai Maui and we will be back to order and eat more delicious food.“

“Food was delicious and the hospitality was over the top! If we are ever in Maui again🙏 we will definitely be stopping by again 🥰“

“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 love coming Marlow regularly
The food is excellent, and the staff is always friendly
In addition to being an excellent restaurant, this is actually my favorite place to get coffee on Maui

If Lauren can be your barista, you’re even in for a more special treat! She’s awesome“

“very good. would recommend“

“The BEST Thai I have ever had!🙏“

“Wonderful service, delicious food, some of the best food service and ambience on the island. The Wagyu lettuce wraps were so so good! And our waiter was the most nice and friendly person I wish I remembered her name. What a great team and such amazing food. Also, just wanted to give a shout out to TARA FRASQUILLO for going above and beyond.“

“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!“

“Excellent tasting fresh wraps that are so yummy I can’t recommend them enough. Great coffee as well. Really love the atmosphere and Gina and the staff are absolutely outstanding just super accommodating just lovely. If you’re in the area definitely recommend Thats a Wrap. Absolutely love the local art on display it’s gorgeous. We will be back love Tina and Steve from New Zealand.“

“Such amazing gelato. So many flavors. And the waffles just melt in your mouth. The owners are great. This is must stop place! They have all the normal flavors and then tons is native island flavors.“

“AMAZING! The food was so delicious and the milkshakes (specifically the adult ones) were excellent. Highly recommend Cool Cat Cafe. We stopped for a late lunch after snorkeling; service was great & quick, and, as stated above, the food was top notch!“

“Really cute lil stop with açaí bowls , shaved ice, coffee and snow cones .. located in the rainbow mall with lots of shops …got the state fair shaved ice came with ice cream on the bottom and whip cream on top. Got the medium it was huge !“

“Stopped by in the afternoon, no line, no wait :)
Got a big shave ice to share that came with 3 toppings. Definitely a good portion to share for a fair price. The woman at the shop was friendly and helped answering any questions.
I would give it a 4.5 stars but as I also had better shave ice before, I give 4. But you can’t go wrong with Bling Bling“
