Filipino food market that offers a large variety of prepared Filipino food and baked goods. While visiting Maui I was in search of good Filipino food which I luckily found at CAA. A bit of a drive from where I was staying but definitely worth it. While it is a market that offers some fresh vegetables and fruits along with other Filipino specialty canned goods, bottled sauces, cookies/crackers, the main attraction is their hot food selection and their freshly baked goods. Tried a few of our favorites: longanisa, dinuguan, bbq, omlet, fried lechon. Loved everything except the fried lechon which was very hard to chew, not very fresh. Also bought some of their baked goods: fried mochiko balls - didn't catch the name of these but they were great; better to eat the day they're made or 1 day old only. Had to throw some away after day 2. Mango bread was moist and slightly sweet. Overall very good. read more

I stopped at CAA Market place in search of Spanish Rolls. When I arrived at CAA, I was surprised that there wasn't much choice to choose from. The bread pastries aren't labeled so if you don't know your bread, your purchase could be surprising. I asked the lady behind the counter twice if she had Spanish Rolls. She said yes but I wasn't sure because it didn't look like what I usually purchase. I felt like she was rushing me to make the purchase. I did end up buying the Spanish rolls. When I served them for dinner Hubby said it didn't take like the ones I've served before. Lesson learned...stuck to my local bakery. read more

My husband's blood sugar was low and he was feeling lightheaded. He asked if we can eat some Asian food and this location popped up on Yelp. It's a grocery store that also sells hot foods. We got there at 10:30 am and they have lunch items available. 2-item combo is $16.99 which comes with rice and/or Pansit. I was hesitant to order because I can tell that majority of their foods are leftovers from yesterday or days ago. Take for example the longanisa I ordered and took a picture of - I was given 3 pieces but one of them is hard as a rock. The Lechon kawali is also hard as if they were refried. I shouldn't have ordered it but lechon is one of my favorites. The Pansit is too peppery. Some are too dry and some trays are only 1/4 full My husband got freshly made adobo and igado and both were good. Those trays are filled to the brim. Then I ordered Turon and Carioca- and those were awesome and addicting. The people at the store are very nice. I would probably go back if I have to go grocery shopping but if I have to eat, I think I would pass. read more

Wanting to have a local experience and support local businesses, i walked in. I was hungry and looking to have lunch. I ordered several items, noodles of some sort, two different kinds of chicken, eggplant and some vegetable mixture. I am so sorry to say, i was disappointed. The service was less then warm or inviting. I walked in, i was the only one in the store and waited and waited, i finally walked up to the person behind the counter and said i would like to order lunch. The place looked a little sparse. She came over and served me what i asked for. I left. I ended up not eating most of the food. I hope that they prepare new items daily maybe i went in on an off day, i don't know but i will not be returning and would not recommend. read more

Canceled travel plans and unforeseen life incidents which lead to my drop in Yelp reviews prompted me to get off my arse and try CAA Market Place. ATMOSPHERE: They're a Filipino food-stocked market sporting a hot line food counter. FOOD: 2-Item Plate - $13.99 I was ecstatic that the foods I was wanting to try were all being served. Bihon pancit, chicken adobo and mungo beans! The pancit had a good natural flavor but a little black pepper and splash of shoyu didn't hurt. Three big cuts of fresh chicken (not frozen wings) were boldly flavored and tender. The mungo beans was more of a soup here (versus my favorite, thicker recipe found at Paradise Mart) and overly salty. SERVICE: Nothing good or bad to report. OVERALL: Tasty eats, a bit pricey. read more

Drove all the way here to find they were closed for renovations. If you want your business to thrive update your yelp and customers when you are closed when it is showing that it is clearly open on Yelp. read more

If you are looking for Filipino fast food fix, this is your spot. Over a dozen pre-made hot lunch selections to make your favorite plate lunch. Too many choices, I couldn't decide! Ended up getting tripe soup, pancit, pumpkin, crispy pork, and pork adobo. All the dishes were super flavorful and well prepared. Think of a Filipino version of Panda Express but everything is homemade. read more

Came here to try out the ladyfingers but ended up buying more things. Walked in and nana was not nice! I tried to ask little questions but she made like I was disturbing her. The ladyfingers was not my thing. It was lacking filling. It's like they smeared butter on toast and topped with another bread kind of feeling. It was more pastry puff than filling. Hopefully it changes. I think it would be much better in taste read more

So I have only tried this place once years before and I forgot why I never went back. Decided to stop in recently for some lumpia and see what else looked good. When I walked in I almost slipped on some water or grease, so I told someone about it immediately. In any case, I saw the pork and veggie lumpia right away and it looked great. At 96 cents a piece, I got 4 and was happy they remembered the chili pepper water too. I also decided to try their pork and pumpkin, half and half pancit bihon and rice, pork and peas, and some kind of vinegar based steak and onions (not adobo though apparently). Everything looked pretty good at first, somewhat greasy but not entirely a turn off. Unfortunately when I got home, as you can see from the pictures, there was a lot more grease included than I would have liked - so much that I had a massive stomach upset later. As much as I enjoyed the lumpia, I probably will never order from their hot line again. Not worth the time on the toilet honestly. If I go back it will only be for the lumpia. Be forewarned if you're like me and get sick from a lot of grease, check your items carefully before ordering. So far I think Bistro Manila (sadly closed now, along with Max's), Tante's, and Originz have been in the lead for me for good Filipino food, followed by Paradise (when they're not greasy too), and Golden Coin/CAA are coming in dead last unfortunately (with the exception of the lumpia here and GC's Halo Halo). read more

If you're hankering for some Filipino food or snacks, CAA Market Place is one of a handful of shops in the central area to get your fix. They are located off of Lower Main St. and have a little parking lot in the back of their building. Inside you'll find an array of baked goods, Filipino chichirya (junk food/snacks), and other imports from the Philippines like canned goods, shampoo, along with the ever popular skin whitening soaps and facial cleansers. Haha. It's a small, but good mix of Filipino products and they're all neatly displayed. You'll also see a hot food line as they serve breakfast, lunch, and do catering as well. They also have a small selection of made to order local food kine plates. What most people probably don't know is that upstairs they have a banquet room that they rent out for conferences and events. It comes with tables and chairs and can comfortably fit around 80 people, maybe a bit more. It's perfect for small parties and CAA can even do the catering for you. It's been a few years since I last inquired so the price may have gone up from $40/hr. All that said, I really come here for the lady fingers. OMG, they are so freaking good. I picked up a dozen earlier this week with every intention to share with my co-workers the following day as an end of the year treat. I sat down with my husband and next thing we knew we only had 4 left.... LMAO! What the. We were bewitched by the simple, scrumptious, little bites of lady fingers! Even my husband was like, "I don't remember these being this delicious!" At least I had good intentions right? Haha. They're $1 a pop so it's a quick, easy treat for yourself or to bring to the office or small get togethers. They provide a small bag in the fridge, but if you're looking to pick up a lot, just ask one of the workers behind the counter and they'll provide a box for you. Enjoy! read more

Delicious food. I had the adobo fried rice omelet. Its $12 and is massisive. Seriously huge portion. Maybe 4 big servings or 6 small. Also tried the vegetable lumpia. Kinda heavy for veggie i thought. Tried the small sweet sausages. They are sweet. Not my thing. But the omlette was so fantastic. Will definitely come back to. Try more Also got an empanada but did get to taste it. read more

Good Filipino fast food. Their pinakbet and mongo has pork which I don't eat. But I got an okra vegetable dish, mixed vegetables dish (with bamboo shoots, green beans and bittermelon) and milkfish sinigang which was good. So they have some non-meat options. read more

DANG the adobo fried rice here is BOMB!! My wife and I came here on our first morning of our Hawaii vacation. Saw the pictures on Yelp and knew we gotta check it out. The adobo fried rice we got for the two of us to share. The portion is HUGE. It comes wrapped in a thin egg like an omelette sort of, but it's huge and stuffed. The rice is absolutely delicious, flavorful, moist, with lots of vegetables and meat inside. The adobo pork is absolutely fantastic - big juicy fatty pieces just the way I like it. The price is very competitive for a breakfast for two, this dish filled us up all the way through dinner, no joke. Would absolutely love to come back here again next time we're in Maui. read more

Omg! Filipino food craving with Surprises. Baked goods .... DANGEROUS OH THEY GOT COOKIES !!!!! YUMMMMM FOOD is delicious and their baked goods. Scrumptious!!

Great home cooking. read more

The dinogoan is the best, reminds me back home in Ilocos. The pinakbet with pork is good as well. They have baked goods, banana bread with macadamia is so moist and delicious. If you're craving for Filipino food, stop by at CAA. read more

I was looking for a particular Filipino fast food and the one I was looking for was too difficult to find and what do you know? I ran into this after asking I thought is a Filipino guy. Sure enough, he's one of ours and was happy to help out to point me out to get Flip food, and to this one. I walked in and told the lady I wanted some food and I'm just visiting. I thought she would explain how her system works. Nope. So, the easiest was to point out what I wanted. She served, I paid, I ate and walked out. Bad energy! She is what we call "suplada" Hindi naman guapa. She seemed always in a hurry--just wasn't a welcoming person. Che! Excuse me ha! read more

This is a typical turo-turo. Good selections of hot food at a decent price. I like their adobo and pinakbet. The pancit is a bit too salty for me. Pandesal is hot and fresh. Banana and mango bread are moist. read more

So glad I went down the page to find this gem. I have no clue why this hasn't been reviewed more often. It's cafeteria style eating with 3 long tables to eat it in. The food is authentic filipino food and the price was the best for maui. Generous portins. Had a lunch plate 2 choice $7.50 and my wife a 3 choice $8.50 and we could not finish it. Dinuguan , lechon kawali, Adobo all excellent. read more

Their hotline for food is pretty good. I must admit, the pork adobo is super tasty and not bad as far as portions. But, it depends on what time you go there and who helps you. Also, if you're craving any of the made to order foods, such as chicken Katsu, etc., be prepared to wait. I called one morning to order Katsu for breakfast and was told it would be 2 hours, as they didn't have any prepped! Well, too bad, L and L got my money that day! The parking here is convenient and the store is really clean. Lot of Filipino style pastries available. Mostly stuff for take out, since there isn't really anywhere to eat inside or outside there. The hours there are pretty convenient, but one thing I still notice is that the building color just blends in, so if you're traveling on L. Main Street, heading Iao direction, you can easily miss the building and side street, as ive done several times, AND I LIVE HERE!!! All in all, for my Filipino food cravings, this is my new go-to spot. I just have to make sure I drive super slow so I don't miss the turn! read more

THOSE LADY FINGERS THO!!!! I'll keep it short and sweet. It's totally acceptable to eat as many lady fingers as you have actual fingers in one sitting... right? I've never actually eaten anything else from here, lol, but who needs to when you have little rectangles of deliciousness in a box that make you forget about the turo turo hot food section :-) read more

Been getting their food for years. Always fast and efficient. The store and the tables are always clean. Staff are very friendly. I've been ordering them from Bite Squad for three months due to the virus, and everything is always right. Their BBQ chicken is my favorite, and the Pork N Peas are the best on this island to me. Thank you for the work you continue to do during these hard times. read more

Many people don't know that CAA has an upstairs dining room that can be used to host parties, conferences, meetings, etc. I was looking for a place to host my daughters "Disney Frozen" 2nd birthday on Maui, and someone recommended this place because of its convenient location and ability to accommodate my party of 100 people for lunch. I spoke to Salvie at the restaurant, who was very patient and thorough in answering all of my questions. She took me on a tour upstairs, where I was able to see the different rooms, a larger dining/conference room, and smaller rooms depending on the size of your party/group.. The rooms are new and clean and restrooms are conveniently located in each dining/conference room. The chairs are not your typical folding party chairs, but elegant, cushioned, dining chairs you would find at an upscale restaurant. The room was equipped with a microphone and mic stand, tv, and a karaoke system, which we all know is a must for all Filipino parties. Hehe. They have a variety of food items to include in your menu, from appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. We ordered tako/ahi poke, kalbi ribs, shrimp tempura, fried chicken wings, roast pork with gravy, pansit bihon,and traditional Filipino pinakbet. They also offer a wide variety of delicious desserts, made from their very own bakery downstairs. The menu is endless - it was hard for us to choose from the different cakes, pies, and Filipino goodies that are usually served at parties. Our guests complimented the food and asked us for information on how to book their own events in the future. Depending on the event, Salvie and her awesome crew, will work with you and do their best to accommodate your needs. My daughter's "Frozen" party theme involved a lot of banners, balloons, and decorations fit for a princess, and the staff was able to open up the room for us to decorate the night before. They say the room can fit up to 100 people, but I think it can hold 80 comfortably, with long tables and chairs. Salvie and crew worked tirelessly to give my princess and her guests such a memorable experience. read more

I bought some of their pastries and it was one of the best I have ever had! I got an ube roll, lady fingers and the pastry with butter&sugar on top. The butter and sugar Pastry was so delicious!

I was a little hungry this morning and have had their pastries before so I decided to stop in to pick up some pastries. I looked at the food warmers and saw the Green Papaya Chicken soup and it looked amazing! I knew I had to try it!! I also got 3 ladyfingers. When I got home and at the Green Papaya Chicken soup I was so amazed and awe! It had so much flavor and the chicken was so tender and delish! The lady fingers were awesome and flaky and creamy! They had a vanilla cream cheese filling with a dusting of powder sugar. The customer service was awesome and friendly! The store was so clean and well organized. There was plenty of parking in the back. Great little store! read more

The food is okay. Cascaron is always my favorite. They do give good size portions for catering. That's why we ordered from them.

An array of Filipino, asian delicacy. The pastries are reasonably good and,"I always go for the ube rolls and crepe filled pastries," yummerz" The establishment is a family owned delicacy establishment." They have a variety of prepared Filipino food. The shelves are fully, neatly stocked. The prepared dishes are moderate if you're ordering a choice of different food. In general the place is organized and spacious enough to walk around. The only inconvenience is the parking around the building. It gets sort of crammed if you're visiting in the day. read more

The location is easy to find. The place is very clean. The choice is an abundance of delicious home made Filipino foods. There are also baked goods of ube rolls, pandesal and rice cake to name a few. Salvie was very friendly and hospitable as well as Vicky who helped us with our choices. This is a rare gem and I will come back when I return to Maui. read more

It cost me $8.28 for this meal and I was content with the amount and taste of this breakfast. A Hui Hou! read more

We have been visiting Maui for over 10 years, finally we found the cleanest Filipino fast food/ bakery/market place and the staff are very friendly.
