My friend and I decide to make a quick trip to haiku because I was in town and she wanted to hang out. And so, we met at the Queen K center in Wailuku we took a drive into haiku.
It was something to do and we were not in a rush, except for me being at the airport by 2:30 PM for 4 o'clock flight up to Honolulu. Along the way we stopped off at Colleen's At the Cannery in Haiku. I've never been here before, but it looks like to be a pretty cool watering hole for the community here. Seems like most of the towns people were here on a Sunday morning. At least those who choose not to go to church anyway. We arrived here around 10:45 AM on a Sunday morning. It was a chill vibe and atmosphere was nice. Everything was mellow and there was two TV on playing sports and sports shows at the time. We were seated almost immediately because it was almost empty. we were here about an hour or so chilling and having lunch. It was nice at this place had a bar because I chose to drink a couple before heading to the airport. They had pretty good choices of beer and wine. I decided to have a burger and fries, along with my choice of beer. My friend had a large salad. The place feels like a old warehouse. But it has a rustic charm and definitely place to have a nice lunch or dinner. The place is clean and definitely has a certain charm to it. They also have restaurant facilities as well, so you can sit here and drink and drink and drink, and have a restroom nearby. Always a good thing to have at your disposal if necessary. And so, if you are in Maui and want something unique supporting Molly's local business, consider coming our way to haiku and having lunch or dinner here at Colleen's At the Cannery. It's quite peaceful.
The overall experience here at Colleen's at the cannery - Haiku was fairly great and definitely. I feel at home here. We spent about an hour or so drinking and reflecting on how life has been since Covid had ravaged the world. Life would have never been the same since then. The burger was very good and the french fries were awesome. It was a shame that I had to go back to the airport later in the day, but it was nice to chill here for a nice lunch with friend. The drinks were refreshing for us and definitely would love another one if my Travel funds could accept it that I would fly again to Maui. The food was good and awesome, the service could be slower than usual because it was the weekend. And Sundays can be slower than normal anyway. Just expect that when you come here on a weekend. For the most part though, it was definitely a chill experience and would like to go back when the time is right. For most part though, this is a bar with a restaurant attached, like anywhere else. If you like low-key atmosphere outside of the tourist areas and Wailuku, consider coming here to Haiku and enjoy what Colleen's At the Cannery can do for you. Small town, small town vibes, and fresh air can do you some good it did me some good because I want to go back the next chance I guess. Definitely recommended if you are in the area. It is pretty close to the Kahului airport too.
Colleen's At the Cannery is located at 810 Haiku Road in the heart of Haiku, Maui. It has a few businesses in this rural area east of the Kahului airport (OGG). They accept major credit cards as well as cash. Best thing to do is to have your own rental car or a private vehicle. Or if you know anyone on Maui, they can drive you here too. On my experience here, I actually had someone who was willing to drive here for lunch with me. If you're not that familiar or not lucky, you can come here yourself. If you are traveling on Maui Bus, there is a haiku bus that travels in and out of Haiku town. Best bet would be to use that route that connects Haiku with Queen Kaahumanu Center. And of course, there is always uber and lyft to take you where you want to go. For the many of us who love Maui, consider coming here when you want to go somewhere that's off the beaten path. Check out Colleen's At the Cannery and see what favorites you would discover here. It was a surprise for me since my friend took me here, but now I'm a fan and hope to be back someday soon. If you're in the area, consider coming here for a drink or two while having lunch or dinner. Drink responsibly!
