50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Paia

“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.“

“Excellent hoagies and the gelato was phenomenal. Great stop before the road to Hāna“

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

“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.“

“I call very last minute to Lawaia to see if there were some surfboards available and he quickly replied and give me a very good price, overall he was nice, polite if I have to come back to mauii I’ll definitely use this service again highly recommend“

“Location is outdoor under a large tree. It had rained just before we arrived, so we had drops hitting us for a short while. It was humid at the beginning, but a small breeze later came in and kept us cooler. Food was excellent, quality and price. It is a BYOB restaurant, which is perfect for us. The only thing bugging us was that the server kept asking us if we were ready for our check, when we still wanted to order moer food. There is a 90 minute limit, but this started happening about 45 minutes into our stay.“

“Great location, fresh food, and service!!“

“When of the families, favorite restaurants always good food and great service“

“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!“

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

“We have been regulars here for about three years. Love the friendly, laid-back atmosphere, the fantastic lattes and of course the avocado toast - but most of all the music. This place is musician-friendly and audience-friendly and everyone has a great time. Highly recommended.“

“There’s not much more to say about this awesome spot—if you’re in town, you’ve got to stop by! If you’ve tried Guri Guri ice cream before, you already know the magic. If not, it’s a fun adventure to taste something so unique. 5 scoops minimum. No less. Trust me. 😉🤙“

“All hand made daily, fresh, authentic, Hawaiian. It’s the next best thing to a luau. Definitely something on the bucket list one should put a check in the box.“

“Alan was incredible. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and personable. He completed the tasting in a timely manner; not too rushed nor too slow. Was able to answer any and all questions and just a great conversationalist all around. Alcohol was incredible and property was gorgeous!“

“This place is so good that we went twice during a short trip to Maui! Authentic flavors and the best khao soi I’ve had since Thailand. My husband said it might be the best Thai food he’s ever had and was drinking every last drop of Penang and red curry. The orange chicken buns were delicious too. The restaurant’s got cute, quirky decor (Yoda directs you to the dining room and there’s lots of old vhs movies and posters but it works) and wonderful service. Auntie Nong was so sweet to my kids. I wish this place had a location in NJ and I’d go all the time!“

“Absolutely. This is the one MUST STOP destination in the #roadtohana. Not for just the great coconuts, fruit or food but the chance to interact with Gale the owner and his crew. Truly enjoyed talking to him and learning a lot about Maui. 😍😍😍😍👏🏽“

“Loved that nothing was too sweet the Tiramisu is special and the coffee tasted really good can’t wait to try more things.“

“Friendly service and good food.“

“The cream puffs are action! So good!!“

“Really good food. Meat was tender, sauces were delicious, salad was very fresh, and the papaya smoothie was tasty! Great find for a roadside stop!“

“LOVED IT!!! Had the pork belly with tomatoes and onions and it was very good. I’ll be back and will tell others about it. It does take a bit for them to prepare it even when there isn’t many customers so be prepared to wait. This may be my first post because not many places are worth my time.“

“First time in Maui and found this gem! Delicious mochi! The white chocolate dipping sauce with the poi Mochi was delicious and the lychee with the pog sauce was wonderful!“

“Great food and service! Atmosphere is clean and fresh“

“So good! My wife has us here each day possible :)“

“Tastes like home! If you love authentic Italian food and NY pizza this is it. 🍕“

“Garlic shrimp, ribeye steak, and Korean chicken were flavoured so well and cooked perfectly! The shrimp tastes way better than the more famous shrimp trucks. (We also ordered the ahi Katsu, which didn't land on the faves list, but that's a matter of personal preference. It was cooked and flavoured well...I just prefer a seared ahi over a fully cooked one.)

Service was friendly and quick, atmosphere is average...it's a food truck at the edge of the Lowe's parking lot 🙃

10/10 would recommend and would return!“

“backstory matters... I am from Mississippi. my name is Lee. I just recently moved to Maui. and tonight I found my bar. the first bar I have walked into since I made it to Maui. I went there to shoot a game of pool or two. to my surprise there was a person there named Charlie or Chuck as I like to call them. that made me feel like I have known them for a long time. ya know that feeling when you maybe knew someone in a past life. everyone there was cool as hell. welcoming for sure. mostly locals small family ran family owned bar. the bartender was on point and the drinks are exactly what you want. nothing but good vibes there...... PS if you go in there ring the bell. and let them know that Lee did warn you. I'll be back...... alot!“

“Delicious! I got Da Boss! And it more than delivered! Sooooo delicious!😋“

“We love this cafe, a very quiet and quality spot. It has a lot of hot and cold drink options, with a rich flavor and excellent service. We ordered a latte and a Fireside Mocha, with a lemon ricotta muffin and a pastry filled with nutella. Very tasty, a good stop after seeing the sunrise in Haleakala National Park.“

“Ahonui Maui is such a sweet little Maui gem! 🍦🌺 The ice cream was absolutely delicious—creamy, fresh, and packed with flavor. It was the perfect treat, especially on a warm Maui day! ☀️🌴

The service was friendly and welcoming, and you can really feel the aloha spirit. I love supporting local spots like this, especially when the quality is this good.

If you’re in Maui and craving something cold and sweet, definitely stop by Ahonui Maui. You won’t be disappointed! 🤙🏽🍨💕“

“food is delicious. buldak chicken is my favorite“

“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.“

“The boba was sooooo ono delicious!! We tried a couple flavors and both were so yummy and we can't wait to go back here again! The man who served us was so kind and patient answering our many questions. Go get a boba drink today, you won't be disappointed and will support a local Lahaina buisness that has reopened in Kahului!“

“Hands down the best in Maui! Brian puts his souls into everything he does.“

“Visiting the Cat Cafe was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii! The staff was incredibly welcoming and kind, and it’s clear they genuinely care about the cats. The kittens all looked healthy, happy, and well cared for. The space itself feels like a little paradise designed just for the cats—cozy, clean, and full of fun spots for them to explore or nap in. We loved how thoughtful the place was, even asking guests to wear clean socks upon arrival to keep the environment safe and comfortable for everyone. If you're an animal lover or just looking for a unique, heartwarming experience, this place is a must. We strongly recommend stopping by the Cat Cafe—you won’t regret it!“

“Delicious! We ate here twice, and made it our last meal in Maui before heading home.“

“Was visiting Maui for my birthday trip and on our last day, we decided to try some authentic local foods and I’m glad we did! I absolutely enjoyed Tasty Crust, enjoyed the friendly staff and enjoyed the locals! Definitely a hidden gem in Maui for tourists.
