Service was prompt - our order was taken quickly and calmly. Once we sat ourselves, we were handed our utensils and napkins. The decor is fun - it's a mix of Bali, whimsy, and a hint sport's paraphernalia. Our coffee table book was a collection of dog portraits :) We ordered the Mini Napi, which was the small version of the Napi bowl. I ordered The Buzz. It was overall a very good experience. I'd come back the next time I want an açaí bowl in the Napili Plaza. read more

Had to come back to A'a Roots one more time before leaving the island -- it's that good. The blueberry waffle was unreal (seriously so good), and I had to get the breakfast burrito again because I couldn't stop thinking about it. Everything is so fresh and flavorful. Such a great spot -- definitely a must if you're in Maui. read more

The moment you walk in, you are in a queue, the vibes are healing, the atmosphere is kitch (which isn't a bad thing). The vibe almost reminds me of the following (not in any order) SRF Lake Shrine in Malibu, CA, The old Bodhi Tree Books, The Source off of Sunset back in the 80s & 90s. Food was just what our tired souls needed! The tonics are a must! The service was warm and friendly, but since it was packed (a great sign) there's little time to chit chat. Seriously, this was one epic of a lunch, and after the Dragons Teeth, it was a wonderful reward! read more

I'm pretty sure this is the best restaurant in the world. On the other side of the island, but make a point to come here to eat. Such amazing choices of creative, fresh, natural concoctions! The presentation is exquisite, not to mention the taste. Also, for in-house orders, no plastic is used to serve the food! We had a pitaya passionfruit bowl and the delicious golden milk smoothie with spices and cardamom! read more

I appreciate a well made vegan dish. My husband on the other hand refers to it has fake food. However he was pleasantly surprised at the flavor and how much he couldn't tell that it was tofu scramble verse actual eggs scramble. The staff was very friendly and gave us a discount for paying in cash rather than using a credit card. We also got drinks - iced coffee and a matcha latte, both were delicious. read more

Aa Roots Maui - Roasted beet poke bowl - Vegan Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

I came by this place because it was in the closest plaza next to where I stayed....Just by luck I see the sign outside for another place I just got food from the night before..... Nice small quaint and clean....a great vibe inside out....BEST OF ALL it is a VEGAN place.... The staff (possibly owner as well) were really nice and even gave me a good hiking spot to go check out..... I grabbed a blueberry muffin to go if I recall they just brought it out so it was hot and that was the best vegan blueberry muffin I ever had.... so good that I got one to go the day I flew out as well to bring on the plane.... I came back after my hike and got a cold soba bowl...it was really good and refreshing.... The next day I got a Breakfast Burrito.... Next time I'm in Maui I am definitely coming back here.....Only thing is I wish they opened later in the day.... read more

It's challenging to come across good vegetarian/vegan food on the island so I was very appreciative to see this vegan establishment. We ended up having breakfast and lunch here on the same day! My family ordered an acai bowl and the breakfast burrito. Both were delicious and plentiful. For lunch we ordered the tostada and soba bowl. The soba bowl was flavorful and tasty while the toastada lacked flavor and was soggy. Service was warm and friendly. Plenty of parking. read more

This place is great. Family owned and operated. It is vegan and vegetarian friendly with care. Lots of healthy options to grab a smoothie, juice, breakfast or lunch with a healthy mindset on the Lahaina side of Maui. The grace and warmth of the person at the counter was amazing. One protein driven smoothie a day is my way. This was my first morning on Maui and I needed a smoothie to set my day up for success. I had a kale, pineapple, banana with protein powder one and it was delicious. Lots of good, healthy choices here. Kids are accommodated too. read more

A'a Roots is a real gem for anyone looking for vegetarian and vegan food on the Lahaina side of Maui! I came with my husband and parents, and everyone enjoyed it! We took a while to figure out what we wanted because there were so many good-looking options, but I settled on the Curry Buddha Bowl with the tempeh addition, and I do recommend it! It's a nice flavorful curry without being overpowering, and comes with a lovely red rice. My dad's tofu scramble also came with the same red rice, and he liked his scramble. My mom got the cauliflower tacos, and the sauce really made them shine. My husband got the blueberry pancakes and he was pretty happy with them, too. The decor is colorful and a bit bohemian with some Indian and South American flair, and we thought it was a really cute little cafe! It's apparent that they're there truly for the locals, and doesn't have any touristy vibe, which is always a nice change of pace. It was also pretty busy on a Tuesday for lunch, which I think speaks to the quality of the food. Should we ever find ourselves on Maui again, I would definitely come back to A'a Roots! read more

Only came here for an açaí bowl so that's all I'm reviewing. Good basic açaí bowl, slightly softer açaí blend. They are definitely generous with the toppings (if you can see the mountain of blueberries I got on mine). However, there was just a little too much granola in the bowl - about a third of my bowl was just granola, and I ran out of açaí to eat it with. If they adjust the balance a little, I think it'd be really good. read more

Returned this year and still love it! Everything is so fresh and flavorful and big portions. I'm the only vegan one in my family and they love it too. Great place to get breakfast or lunch before or after snorkeling nearby. The staff is super friendly! I left my hat and they kept it for us to pick up the next day. Several tables both outside and inside. We make sure to visit every time we're in Maui! read more

Aa Roots instantly puts you at ease the moment you walk in. It is the sort of cafe that feels perfectly in rhythm with Napili itself, relaxed and unhurried but still full of life. I ordered the curry bowl and a celery carrot turmeric juice, and both were exactly what I was craving. The curry bowl was beautifully plated with a mix of root vegetables and rice topped with a light coconut curry sauce that carried just the right amount of warmth and spice. The vegetables were tender and fresh, the perfectly steamed brown rice had that perfect fluffy texture, and every bite felt balanced and clean. It was the kind of dish that fills you up but still leaves you feeling good afterward. The celery carrot turmeric juice was bright, fresh, and full of flavor. You could taste the natural sweetness of the carrot with just enough kick from the turmeric to make it interesting. It had a smooth earthy finish that was both energizing and refreshing, the perfect complement to a sunny afternoon meal. Aa Roots is a peaceful little gem in Napili that serves food with real soul. It is the kind of place where you can slow down, enjoy something fresh and nourishing, and walk out feeling lighter than when you came in. read more

Got a mini açaí bowl here and it was really good! Definitely my favorite base of all the places we tried on the island. My one quip is that there was a LOT of granola in our bowl, which was a bit more than we wanted compared to base/fruit, but would definitely try the larger size next time! read more

A great açaí bowl served by a super friendly staff. The vibe is very relaxing and they have delicious menu items for your entire party. They usually add a flower to the açaí bowls. It's a small touch, but it makes a world of difference to the customers. Mahalo read more

A`A Roots is an all-vegan breakfast and lunch spot in Lahaina. They have a fairly healthy menu, and I love their use of edible flowers. I ordered a vegan caesar salad, and it came with the prettiest pinkish-lilac edible flowers! They have a big menu with a lot of choices. I'm attaching photos of the menu. They have soup, salads, sandwiches & wraps, toast (incl GF), buddha bowls, toastadas, bagels, smoothies, smoothie bowls, juices, and coffee. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. It's located in a plaza with a coffee shop where you can buy whole bean Kona coffee to bring home as souvenirs. The coffee shop also has postcards, so you can sit outside and write postcards while you eat your lunch. read more

SERVICE - located in a small shopping complex in North Maui - parking available in lot - cozy interior with couches for seating - limited indoor seating available - service is quick and gets you your order as soon as it is ready - ambiance good for a casual breakfast MENU - smoothie bowls and savory brunch items - all vegan/vegetarian - average price FOOD - naked burrito bowl (9/10): rice, black beans, cabbage, salsa, and tofu drizzled with avocado and chipotle crema. This is also available as a burrito but i would recommend the bowl if you want to share with multiple people. The tofu was an add on but worth it to boost the protein on the dish. It is a classic blend of rice and beans with fresh vegetables. The star is the chipotle crema as it adds a smoky heat to the dish. - grilled cheese (6/10): housemade cashew cheese sandwiched between two slices of bread. This is simple and it is hard to go wrong with just grilled cheese. I wish there was something more unique to it, maybe a layer of the chipotle sauce or some grilled onions just to give it a unique twist. - dragon bowl (7/10): pitaya, pineapple, banana, and strawberry blend topped with banana, berries, and coconut. We added almond butter for an extra charge. I love how natural the bowls here are. You can tell that they make them to order with fresh fruit that shines in every bite. This one is lighter and more tart than the açaí based ones. - kachava bowl (9/10): açaí, banana, and blueberries blended with kachava superfood mix topped with banana, coconut, blueberries, and cacao nibs. This was my favorite of the dishes we ordered. The addition of the kachava makes the bowl more filling and slightly nutty. If i was only ordering one thing it would have to be this one. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! The ambiance is welcoming, service is friendly, and food is reliably tasty. read more

Came here for breakfast and it was a nice little spot with seating inside. We ordered the açaí bowl and avocado toast. Service was good and the food came out quickly. The acai bowl was definitely one of the best I've had! Smooth, not too sweet, and a large portion! The avocado toast was solid as well with creamy avocados, topped with flaky salt and black sesame seeds. Service was friendly and there's self serve water. read more

During our Maui trip, we were on the look out for vegan or vegetarian food everywhere! As a vegetarian I was happy to see so many options! Found Aa roots Maui through Yelp and google reviews, because it had good reviews we had to try it out. We went for breakfast/brunch and ordered an açaí bowl and avacado toast. Both came out in a timely fashion- açaí bowl was good! Avacado toast also good! Wouldn't say anything was very special about this place but good vegan and vegetarian options! Presentation was also very cute and Hawaii like- flowers everywhere! read more

Came here for açaí bowls and ordered the pitaya bowl and the tropical açaí bowl with peanut butter. IMO peanut butter helps so much. It gives the bowl more texture and helps to balance the temperature and sweetness. The açaí bowl was good, but nothing too special. One portion is enough for two people to split imo. The pitaya bowl base was better than açaí for me. It's a bit more sweet and flavorful. I didn't get the peanut butter on this one so I still favored the açaí bowl. Ambiance is great, but I'm still in the lookout for THAT açaí bowl in Maui. read more

While in Maui, I had to try some acai bowls! We found a spot close to our resort and stopped in for a late lunch. I ordered the Ka'Chava bowl along with one of their seasonal pitaya bowls. The presentation was beautiful! The acai had a softer, creamier texture, while the pitaya bowl was firmer in consistency. Between the two, I preferred the pitaya. I spent a little over $40 for both--definitely on the pricey side, but I enjoyed the tropical presentation. read more

I absolutely love this place... ...I normally get the soba bowl with tofu. When we have a day off we like to get some lunch here, and I always get a muffin or sweet roll when they have them.

Went on Thanksgiving Day and ordered the holiday special -- and it ended up being one of the most memorable meals I've ever had. I didn't miss the meat or the "real turkey" for even a moment, quite frankly it was better. Au Root's proves that vegan and vegetarian food can be every bit as flavorful, comforting, and satisfying as traditional dishes -- absolutely no compromise. The flavors were thoughtful, the presentation beautiful. And the juices are phenomenal. The kind that makes you feel good from the inside out. Whether you're fully plant-based or just open to trying something new, this spot is a must-visit. The decor is earthy and grounded, warm and welcoming -- it really feels like home. Just note that it's located in a strip mall, so it's not a dress-up fine-dining vibe. read more

Loved stopping by with my friends to try some vegan eats! They always have a hard time finding new places that they can eat at, so it's good to find a place on the west side they can go to.

I had the opportunity to volunteer with Maui Cultural Lands the Saturday I was in Maui, and after volunteering clearing invasive plant species from a discovered archeological site (the purpose of the program), I was obviously quite hungry! Aa Roots was not too far north from where I was, so I came here for lunch. In addition to the Vegan Ceasar Salad, I "splurged" by getting some local kombucha (with a unique flavor profile at that, as it contained blue spirulina!). The staff seemed very friendly and I the seating area was very cozy. For one person, lunch was pricey but standard for the island. If I lived here, this would probabaly be my go-to spot! read more
