Laulima Farm in Maui is the kind of place that makes you wonder why you don't live on a farm and eat tropical fruit for every meal. The avocado toast was perfection, the red bananas tasted like bananas that finally reached their full potential, and the farm-fresh fruit samples could convert anyone into a produce snob. The drive, however... Let's just say if twisty, narrow one-lane roads were a theme park ride, this one would come with a height requirement and a waiver. It's also a solid trek from the airport -- long enough to question your life choices, but short enough that you'll still arrive excited. Once you get there? Totally worth every curve. Highly recommended. -- Jordan read more

We loved stopping at this place along road to hana. The owner was very welcoming. Enjoyed fresh coconut water and star fruit. Don't forget to take a walk in their farm. read more

Love this place! Once upon a time they made big salads fresh from the garden and now they make amazing tropical fruit plates, fresh squeezed juices and tropical style coffee with coconut milk. Such a treat to stop on the way back side to Hana! Our server/chef/hostess was lovely and a vibe herself. Enjoy the short hike through the gardens and sit in the hand carved seats surrounded by a creaking bamboo jungle. read more

We saw this fruit stand which actually turned out to be a farm. We took a short walk through what seems to be a jungle filled with beautiful exotic fruit trees. We also bought a few fruits to taste. Beth was very knowledgeable and answered our questions about the different types of unique fruit on her farm. read more

Wow! We did not expect so much magic on the side of the road. We had just finished the 7 pools hike and were headed back to Kihei the back way and came upon this beautiful farm stand. The person working today was such a delight. We got THE most amazing popcorn we'd ever had. We also got Maui grown coffee in iced latte form and it was fresh and absolutely delicious. We were also told about the different banana types "apple" and "ice cream" so we decided to try an "ice cream banana- OMG best banana ever I wish we had bought more than 2! When we asked for details about how much coffee the farm harvests each year the woman helping us just lit up because she was so excited we'd asked. Everything was fresh and SOOOO good. If you don't stop here after 7 pools, you're missing out! If I could rate it 10 stars I would. It looked like they had a little trail you could walk and you could even choose to dine in and they would cut your fruit for you. So more than just fruit here...something for the whole family! Thank you! read more

We had a great time at the fruit stand. The service was soo friendly. We decided to include it on our 34th anniversary music video with original music- Cruisin Maui. https://youtu.be/1l79lA5vMhQ?si=siBf1a3dRL_zrZW6 read more

Laulima Farm - Fresh coconut water from the stand! So good! - Food Stands Near Me - Kipahulu, Hawaii

Our favorite stop of the day! This place was the sweetest most unexpected surprise at the end of the Road to Hana! We almost didn't stop and we had no expectations since it was not planned! It appears to be just a produce stand at first glance, but once you begin to wander around, you find a surprise around every corner! We ordered a fruit sampler plate for 4 of us and had a great time learning about fruits we'd never heard of as we tasted them together. There's really so much to say but I hope you'll be able to go experience the magic for yourself! Here's a travel tip- go directly here first, have some treats and then work your way back through the traditional recommended stops! read more

Underrated! One should drive on backroad to hana. Do one or both the trails to the waterfall and tidepools in the national park and stop by here to buy and enjoy locally grown fruits and coconut water plus other local produce and products. Met two ladies who were running the shop at the time and had a good chat about how the life is different and disjointed but amazingly beautiful staying on those farms. Did try freshly harvested fruit along with coconut water. Do make a stop. I remember eating greener and smaller version of the plum that I ate. This one came with cinnamon scent on less ripened one and rosy flavor on the fully ripened one. The shack could be missed if no cars are parked. They also close early but perfect sport to quench your thirst after hiking in the area. read more

Came upon this tiny farm fruit stand on the the backroad to Hana. I was looking for Ono farm but its further down the road. This place is a hidden gem with tons of fresh fruits, jams and ready to make drinks. We settled for a cup of coffee and tangerine juice. Unfortunately they are cash only and with no ATM or service out here in the backroads, it does suck. The owner however was kind enough to let me exchange Venmo information with her. Once I got to Hana with some service, I was able to pay her. Thank you for the trust and the amazing unexpected stop! read more

It's in a small town past Hana (Kipahulu) but it's so worth the drive! This is an amazing farm. Everything is fresh-- coffee, fruits, and vegetables galore! We got the fruit sampler plate and sat in bamboo circle that has a table and chairs. Spoke to some really kind locals, even made a couple friendships here. Just good vibes all around. A great stop if you're making the big loop past Hana. I highly recommend getting a coffee and some fruits here. You won't be disappointed! read more

a great stand on the side of the road to Hana! very charming and friendly owner who also gave me a sample of jackfruit and opened my young coconut without any difficulties as well as the great conversation about Bali. I forgot to ask what is her name. it is a place that is really nice and I think you will love this place if you just give it a chance to try on your excursions to Hana. this is the type of vendors that I saw all over Bali, so it brings me that home feeling beside and everything are so fresh from the trees. read more

Quaint road side coffee stand and fruit stand along highway, was a great place to stop for a break on the drive along southern end of island. Fruit stand had a daily selection of items grown on the property, could also get a French press, latte or espresso, the popular coconut water from a coconut they open right there for $6. We tried the fruit platter and a muffin and was very fresh. There is a trail to walk the garden that is about a 5-10min walk and the property if we'll kept with tons of native species. Well worth the stop, a true gem of a place! read more

What an incredible experience my family had. The farm stand is charming in every way! Our server/hostess was named Marley. She was so much more than a cashier. She explained all the varieties of exotic fruit to us. By the way, the fruit was clean, well maintained, and fresh. We bought beautiful bananas, papayas, snd coconuts. If you near the 7 pools it very close to that. Please stop and support this longtime and worthy business. It was the highlight of our day! Thank you Marley! You're a keeper! read more

Many people say that this place is the highlight that they always return to when they visit Maui, and this is also the community hub for the local neighborhood. I have worked here for over a year and I love everything about the place. Walk through the gardens and try all the fresh, farm grown beverages and fruit. Excellent coffee and baked treats. Here are pictures of fruit plates that I've made! Hope to meet you there! read more

Its no joke...if you order a smoothie, you gotta plop your lazy fat ass onto the bike to power the blender. Jonathan is the most peaceful and gentle food services worker you'll ever meet. After being on the narrow, bumpy, and unpaved Piilani Hwy 31 for over 2 hours, wife and I had to pee really, really....REALLY bad. Well no bathroom here ,but Jonathan gracefully and poetically said "....but you're both welcome to water the trees out in the garden." So if you were here on Sept 19th or 20th and your food tasted a little "salty"...we apologize. Everything is vegan and organic here...no meat and no dairy. But don't worry my fellow ignorant animal eaters and abusers...the coconut pie, foccacia, and banana bread were all delicious. The Papaya Dream smoothie and ice latte were good too, but it tasted a little strange because they only use coconut milk. Despite Jonathan being the only person working and over a dozen people waiting to order, everyone kept their cool. This place is very calm, peaceful, beautiful and defines the word "Zen". You can walk along the paths in the garden to see where your food is coming from. Is there another place on Earth that grows and serves all its food from its backyard? Don't think so...hope to come back here someday! PS: I don't think there aren't any other food vendors in at least a 10 mile radius. PS2: We probably wouldn't have found this place unless we were desperately searching for a bathroom...so look carefully! ;-) read more

On the back road to Hana we wanted to stop by a fruit stand. Drove past this and slammed on our brakes and came back. Really cute little shack that was quaint and inviting. As we walked to the shack saw baskets of fruit hanging on each side of entrance. Inside is quaint and small and the one girl working is super friendly. We got a papaya and a cacao fruit and a coconut water in coconut. Papaya was AMAZING. Cacao was interesting, you suck on the seed and then chew the cacao. The sack around seed was fine but the cacao was a bit peppery, this is what chocolate is made from! Not my preference, I'll take the finished chocolate product. Nice little place to stop off on your road to Hana. A must. read more

I wanted to give 5 stars, but deducted 1, because the employee told us to have a seat and 10-15 minutes later she forgot about us and our order. But so glad we stopped here as we headed up Hana Hwy. btw don't drive a rented mustang on this road, because of this person, we almost met our end on the cliff corners edge due to this person ignoring our horn honking coming around the way. We stopped on our way to bamboo forest, best papaya and bananas I ever had and I don't particularly eat these fruits, but now I'm a fan of both! Quite delicious and only wish I had more cash to buy more fruit to take back to Kihei and we shared our lunch with the friendly farm cat. read more

I guarantee this is the best salad you'll ever have. If you get out to Oheo Gulch/Seven Pools, you absolutely have to make the 2 mile drive to this fruit stand. They have organic coffees, fruit juices, and fresh smoothies-- you blend your own with their bicycle-powered blender-- as well as fresh fruit, coconut candy, and baked goods. Plus, the salads are absolutely amazing. We ordered the "Big Kahuna" for 2, and the girl went outside and picked the lettuces fresh out of the farm while we sipped our delicious smoothies. They've got an umbrella-shaded picnic table and a bamboo grove outside for hungry customers. Laulima Farm has about 13 acres of organic, non-GMO produce-- their stand is a must-see stop on this side of the island. read more

Laulima Farm - You gotta generate your own electricity if you want a smoothie! - Food Stands Near Me - Kipahulu, Hawaii

Darn, and I was hoping no one would review this place! (well you still need to find it). So imagine you order a smoothie. And then imagine pretending to be Lance Armstrong in the Alps stage of the tour de france (that blender ain't gonna power itself). And all the while, there is someone out back picking your salad. Like seriously, picking your salad (i know, I watched). Plus, this place is a must stop IF you were smart and drove to Hana in high tourist season EARLY (nothing like a hangover combined with sand in your ears, wet roads, and hairpin turns to wake you up in the morning). If you go early, you miss the ten-dozen banana bread shops (and the traffic that sustains them). (don't worry, Laulima is better) read more

Sweet farm and staff. You can walk around and enjoy the vegetation. Did not see animals, not sure if they keep them away from the public. We met some interesting people hanging. The fruit is so delicious because its ripe and fresh and presented simply. We grabbed some of their salt and use it on our salads, it's all good. read more

I LOVED LAULIMA FARM. I had been driving for much of the day and skipped lunch when I drove through Hana, thinking I'd be able find something later - not the case. I needed a coffee, and a mixed fruit plate from Laulima. The coffee was made from a French Press and a perfectly balanced medium roast coffee. The fruit plate - overwhelmingly fresh, delicious and sustainably farmed. The passion fruit and strawberry guava were my favorites, though the juice Meyer lemon and tangelos were also great. You can sit inside the cafe or inside of a bamboo forest, and finish up your visit with a short walk on the grounds. This was such a lovely stop and should not be missed on your drive through Maui. read more

Amazing little gem! They have an incredible assortment of fresh fruits, a lovely nature walk (that showcases the fruit trees and flowers) and a perfect table amongst the bamboo to enjoy your fresh treats. read more

Trippiest GMO-FREE ZONE on the Planet and that means you! Get your organic coffee, as much veggies as you can and banana bread and strange fruit and get the hell out back to Oheo Gulch/Seven Pools or start heading back home. You're a long way off course. Do not hang out after dark under any circumstances. Kipahulu means hairy vagina. And when you see this GMO-Free Zone for the first time you'll wanna be buried in like Charles Lindburg the All American Hero who came to his final resting place. But, don't be tempted. This is a pilgrimage spot for the WII American Nazi Synthesizers generation. And their strange Aryn black magic is here. Kind of twitchy. Like the jungle, she will eat you alive out here. Not for the faint of heart. Oh the cliffs, you can fall off of, the rocks that can fall on you. Eaten by strange cave beings. You name it. It can all strangely happen here. Laulima Farms is in the last best Utopian vision of the rawvegeratti and a valiant effort to master permaculture techniques and bio-dynamic principles by 21th Century Flat Earth Firsters masking themselves as Neo fascist American Veggie-cons. These folks are bionic Deceptacons weed destroyers. These people want to spread peanut ground cover all over the world. These people live to weed the peanut and eradicate anything which doesn't not fit their rawvegeratti Peanut agenda. I have never met more dangerous people to weeds in all my days. The farm is a commune under the guise of a permaculture education program under the fog of puritanical work ethos shrouded in simple living in the Haleakala National Forest. Don't even try to stay out here and slave with these fools. Just dig the vibe and soak up the mana. This is the real fantasy island with a critical spooky core. There is simply no place to live unless you're really meant to be out here. And let's face it this place is the real place to get LOST and maybe never return. That may sound dramtic, but not really. Locals set up road blocks. Pull people from their cars. Theaten to burn your car if you don't move. Underbelly stuff like that. Very unpleasant so go back to your tent in the park at night after the best coffee and banana bread you will ever have in your life. I kid you not. read more

All of these reviews and yelp are WRONG. This is a 6 star cosmic fantasia experience. One word, LOVE, everywhere. Perfect, everywhere. Hand picked bountiful booty of greens, herbs, fruits, harmonious non irradiated beyond orgasmic, I mean organic sun drenched goodness. Not just for the hippy dippy conscious folk, but for all wishing to have a great culinary masterpiece in a G-d perfect slice of solace and peace. Popcorn with nutritional yeast and coco oil, jamaican passion fruit on insane greens, d'licious libation of pressed cane juice, ginger, turmeric, and coco juice. WOW Then came earthly coffee, banana bread made by the chef preparing our gifts, more juices, noni shots- a musky hawaiian tincture, passion fruit jam, and more goodies, i cant even list. Walk around the front acre of land on the path for a blissful peek into harmonious earth dwellers who are living the life of permaculture, off the grid, sustainability, purpose and joy. Share a conversation with locals who live with this as home base. Mentioning the hallmark bike is like talking about the muffler pipe of a Ferrari, when you could be talking about the engine. Thank you Laulima for something wonderful. read more

Fresh organic roadside. If you are at interested about organic, diverse, farming that is earth friendly stop. Not the easiest place to get to but if you're on the road to Hana and beyond make sure you stop. We picked up some organic strawberry papayas and sipped on organic local coffee. read more

First I wanna say that I am vegan and I am all about GMO free and everything that comes with it , now :) Back in 2007 i stopped here while coming back from Hana and they were using coconut milk from cans bought at Costco, keep in mind back then I wasn't vegan and still thought that was very weird :) They weren't even hiding it had the whole case out front .. hahahahahah read more

One of the highlights of the entire Hana drive if you are continuing around the west side. It's just past Lindbergh's grave on the right. Stop here and get anything to eat! It's all very yummy. The coffee is some of the best I've ever had. It's all hand picked and roasted on the farm. We tried the delicious strawberry papaya, freshly grown and popped popcorn, and apple bananas. Walking around the farm with your coffee is very relaxing. read more

This is a FANTASTIC place. They don't make smoothies anymore, but you should absolutely stop here. Very friendly young couple who have built a beautiful, welcoming small farm environment. All of the fruits, coffee, popcorn, etc. they sell are grown on their own farm. We ate our way through a fruit plate, coconut milk, and a bunch of new fruits we'd never tasted before. The custom furniture they'd built was completely fun and cool to see, and the walk around the public part of the property is beautiful. You really do need to stop there--absolutely worth seeking them out. They sent us a minute back down the road to get fantastic homemade kalua pork tacos from another roadside stand that was wonderful as well, and we were glad to support the local economy and fill our stomachs! read more

Amazing spot, lovely vibe and great tasting fruit. The blender has gone due to some state regulation nonsense, so no smoothies but 100% still worth the stop. read more

This is a great stand near Hana to get some greens and fruit. My husband and I were staying in Hana for a few days and I wanted to get some fresh greens and a coconut. The people working there were really sweet and gave me a little lesson on coconuts and their farm. The produce was delicious and decently priced. I highly recommend stopping by when in Hana. read more

Happy to have stopped off at the cutesy place. I heard the owners own Cafe Gratitude in SF so I knew what to expect with their offerings. We had a smoothie of the day which was Fresh papaya, fresh coconut milk, tahitian lime and crushed ice. The smoothie was definitely refreshing and tasty after making it to Hana. Also had a banana/tamarind/something else popsicle which was spunky and different. The banana bread was not so good, a bit too healthy tasting for our taste, but everything else was fab! read more

Really fun place for our family. We had a big salad and left with some of the best coffee - we treasured it back here in the snow!

Love this place! They have the freshest, smoothest coffee I have ever tasted! It is picked on site and I think it's roasted every 3 days! You must try the rollinia when it's in season. More must try fruits are the apple banana (a different, delicious variety of banana), strawberry papaya (another unique variety without the funk of standard papaya), & lilikoi. Try a papaya with the seeds scooped out and replaced with lilikoi! That was what I had for breakfast every morning. Popping corn is also grown on site so ask if there is any freshly harvested popcorn available! Maui No Ka Oi! read more
