“Cute little ice cream stand with non dairy soft serve option. Choose up to 3 fruits to mix in with the coconut base. Very tasty, but really disappointed by the $1 up charge for the dairy free option Updated from previous review on 2026-05-22“

“You would be making a huge mistake not to stop here.

Someone highly recommended it to me, and I almost forgot about it until my last day. I would have never known what I was missing. Now, I regret that I didn't stop here *every day* I passed through Paia.“

“10/10 The most amazing made to order ice cream with small fruit chunks. So tasty and different from the rest I’ve tried so far.
Had their matcha, also one of the best matcha has I tried in Maui.
And their tiramisu cloud I highly recommend you top your drink with that. You are not going to regret it.“

“Great, tasty shave ice and ice cream! All natural, local ingredients. Lots of vegan options. The owner and staff are fabulous!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I had the BEST experience at this Cold Stone! During our trip, I stopped by Sunday afternoon with my kids, and from the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the biggest smile from the sweetest girl, Ana! 🍦
Had such a fun, bubbly personality and was so kind and patient with my loud, energetic kids 😂 She made us feel so welcomed and never once seemed bothered by all the chaos!

Her customer service was AMAZING. She was friendly, attentive, and had such a warm personality that truly stood out. You can tell she genuinely enjoys helping people! she made our little ice cream stop so much more special. Cold Stone, you have a GEM working there! 👏🏼✨“

“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!!!
