Joy place is a long-term maui business that provides what I would call 1970s style health food. It's a combination of food that was in diet for a small planet a cookbook that was extremely popular in the 70s which introduced vegetarianism to the masses and another cookbook book called the moosewood cookbook, which also had kind of whole-grain non-commercial recipes. The Quality of the food at this place is very good, but it is it does cost more than average. Inflation has hit a lot of food, providers, caterers, and restaurants and its hard for me to figure out if the prices they are fair. I know no one is getting rich at this catering shop. Today I had a Buddhas bowl and the Thai mushroom soup. Both were very tasty. I bought two small desserts and it came to $36. When I brought the food home I heated up the soup in the microwave. I thought it was very good. I wouldn't to call it particularly hearty. And the Buddhas bowl was tasty. It had quinoa in it.. I actually made myself a small half sandwich so that I would round out the meal. The Buddhist bowl was filling the soup was not. I ordered two desserts. There was a pumpkin dessert and a cashew base by the time I got home in 30 minutes it had melted a bit and the consistency wasn't what I expected. I think it would've been good if I eat it right at the store. I also got a bar which was an oat bar with chocolate and some other items in it. That was also pretty good I put it back in the fridge raider for a couple of hours and it did return to work. I hoped it would be this dessert was tasty. Overall I'm a fan of this place. It breaks the mold of cookie-cutter caterers in restaurants. There's no seating it's essentially a commercial kitchen with a grab and go cooler and a few items that I think you can order at the counter. Unique and worth checking out.

This is my ultimate healing go-to. They make everything from bone broth, to immune boosting tonics, to hot foods and sandwiches and the best 3 day cleanse where everything is made fresh daily. If you are ever under the weather or need an immune boost because everyone around you is fighting something, you need to visit this quaint hole in the wall in upcountry Maui. You won't be disappointed. It will keep your family healthy or help those who are sick to heal faster.

Turkey cranberry salad sandwich, or fresh health juice, this is a very clean and very discerning restaurant. IMPRESSIVE, to me, asince I am a snob for clean quality food.

I’m not a vegetarian or vegan and normally don’t like any of places with vegan options. However , I’m in love with this place. The food are so fresh and tasteful that I went back the next t day and took 5 more people with me. They have fresh juices and soup. Highly recommended

What an amazing place to have available on Maui. The food is so good and fresh. Our favorite thing to do is pick up lunch at joys Place in Makawao (Pukalani side) and head to our favorite picnic spot in Kula.

Pricey menu but this is one of the few places where you can get organic food that is prepared with the best local ingredients and very very conscious of the ingredients going in. No inflammatory cheap cooking oils used here and no extra sugars or preservatives.

The owner or whoever drives a car with the license plate "TRUTH" came to check if she locked the doors tonight- every parking stall was open but she decided to park next to my sisters car where my younger cousin was walking to get her bags after her volleyball game. While grabbing her bags from the back seat, this older lady opens her door.... Hitting my cousin physically and my cousin was the one who said sorry for being in the way, and this lady ignores us completely like we weren't even standing there- walks up to the door and makes sure it's locked. So I'm looking at her and decide to stand up for my cousin and say excuse me and to not be rude like that towards anyone. She said "well you're just judgmental". How the hell am I judgmental when you, an older ADULT hits a CHILD physically and purposefully with their car door and doesn't say ANYTHING about it. It was the most disrespectful attitude coming from someone who should know better. I'll go home and pray for her.
Hidden treasure right by the beach. Loved having vegan options and the food was excellent. Best meal we had on our trip to Maui.

I am supremely delighted to discover Joy's place Live in upcountry Maui! FINALLY, a place with quality, HEALTHY, and DELICOUS food options in a grab-n-go set up! No more impossibly long waits at similar type establishments (see the Farmacy) or trying to make a reasonable decision at one of the nearby fast food joints. Quick, healthy, and satisfying snacks for those of us on the move. I had no idea this place even existed, except one day in a fit of dehydration, waiting for my chiropractor next door, I wandered in, not sure what to expect. I found the most delicious ginger tonic, as well as a 'raw' lilikoi chia pudding type of snack, which was so darned delicious, I went back several days later to explore another cup. I have also had several of their grab and go salads, and soups of the day, and everything is so very fresh, homemade, and healthy. They also offer periodic 'fasting' menus that consist of their homemade broths, green smoothies, and the like, that you can pre-order and pick up during those times. I friggin' LOVE this place, and it is now my number one spot for my grab n' go's on my working days or anytime i need a quick boost. I might add that they are still in operation during the quarantine, and taking orders at the door. Big Mahalo Joy and crew!

I have been going to Physical Therapy next door and couldn't resist the wonderful aromas wafting through the screen door. This is their commercial Kitchen where they make soups that are sold at Whole Foods. They have an ever-changing menu based on the season with regular broths and beverages. I took home a cup of their Thai Mushroom soup today and was wishing I'd bought more, it had a real depth of flavor and they did not skimp on vegetables. In addition to soups, and juice, they have specials and salads to take out.
