“The wife and I and a couple of our good friends went to see the sunrise at Haleakalā on the way down we stopped at the little bakery and just walked by and found this place went in to check the menu and the food smelled amazing. I got the roasted pork loco and soo good! Definitely recommend this place if you are in the area!“

“This was one our favorite spots in Maui. The ice cream is delicious, the staff is super friendly, and the service is quick. It's also not expensive, which helps. We were in Maui 5 nights and went 4 times, only missed 1 night because we got there after they closed. The only downside is there are only 2 flavors (vanilla and coconut), so there's not much variety. But honestly, it's so good that it didn't matter. Highly recommend checking it out.“

“Great ice cream and e has Dole Whip also. Definitely will visit again before going home. Highly recommend this place.“

“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 stayed in Hana on this trip to Maui, and we stopped by Coconut Glens for some of her yummy ice cream on the way. The last time we were here it was a wood building. I was surprised to see the food truck instead. The construction next to the truck was for future outdoor seating. This place is always busy, regardless of the time of day. I had the coconut ice cream that first day, and went back the next day for a scoop of coconut and chocolate chunk. They were both delicious.“

“Thanks Maui Garden Cafe for your kindness in helping me to contact AAA, and in rescuing me and my 3-legged Nissan, and for charging my dead phone until the tow truck arrived. 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!!!

“I was told to try this place by a friend from the area and I’m glad I did! I got the “Lahaina” (pineapple, coconut, and banana) with vanilla ice cream on the bottom and the “snow cap” (sweetened condensed milk mixture) on top. It was amazing! The line was pretty long so there was definitely a wait, but it was worth it!“
