Cute store that has everything you need! delicious prepared foods and very friendly people

When you used to eating healthy and especially when you're on vacation it always seems difficult to maintain your healthy habits. If you've got time 'Mana Foods' in Paia is a perfect spot to satisfy those needs - grab a quick meal or stock the shelves or fridge of your condo. only 15 minutes from Kahului airport. There is a Whole Foods just as close to the airport but by visiting Paia you get to kill two birds with one stone; Paia is full of little shops and restaurants & Mana Foods is unique in many ways and definitely worth a visit. Mana has a 'ton of healthy food options' and the hot food bar is superb; many organic selections, killer soups, sandwiches, steamed veges, etc. The hot food bar is hands-down way superior than Whole Foods. There is plenty of 'scan to park' spots available in Paia and it may be important to note that there is not a lot of places to sit down and eat your food if you purchase food to go... you kinda have to find a shady curb somewhere to sit down and eat. I think Mana in Paia is well worth a slight detour. read more

Mana Foods - Health Markets Near Me - Paia, Hawaii

If Whole Foods and a farmer's market had a baby, this would be it, but raised by yoga instructors and people who ferment their own kombucha. The vibe here is very "I'm making better choices." The produce is lush and local, the shelves are full of things you didn't know you needed, and suddenly I'm the type of person who debates oat milk versus macadamia milk like it's a Supreme Court case. Prices are surprisingly reasonable. It feels fair, like they actually want you to be healthy without taking out a second mortgage. Now let's talk about the parking situation. Imagine a reality show where contestants fight for survival, but instead of battling in an obstacle course, they're circling a tiny parking lot at rush hour. That's what this feels like. If you land a spot, you feel like you just won a medal in the Olympics. Once you're inside, though, it's worth every gray hair you sprouted in the lot. The hot bar is genuinely delicious, not the sad, congealed "mystery food" you get at some grocery buffets. We're talking legit, flavorful, I'd-eat-this-at-a-restaurant food. The soups are my personal kryptonite, rich, cozy, and always satisfying. Just be careful, because everything's sold by weight. Part of the charm is the cast of characters you'll see here: * The yoga mat crowd, still in leggings, radiating post-class glow, filling containers with quinoa salad like it's their birthright. * The soup guy every store has one. He's carrying six containers of soup, and he's clearly planning a tasting menu at home. Respect. * The indecisive health nut holding a jar of almond butter in one hand and cashew butter in the other, frozen in existential crisis. * And then there's people like me, pretending I'm here for kale and turmeric shots, when really I'm bee-lining it for hot bar. Overall, this store makes me feel like I'm living a healthier, cooler version of my life, like I'm in a commercial where everyone smiles while carrying canvas bags full of organic produce. Sure, the parking lot may shave a year off your life expectancy, but the food adds two back. Net win. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Just don't make me fight you for the last parking space. read more

If you're in Maui and care about fresh, organic, and local -- this is the grocery store to visit. Mana Foods is a gem. Tucked into funky, colorful Pa'ia town, this place is a health food lover's paradise. Produce section Top-notch. Bright, vibrant, and loaded with local and organic fruits and veggies. I even found things I've never seen before -- like dragonfruit from Upcountry Maui and fresh turmeric root. Parking Use the small lot nearby and they validate if you spend \$10 or more (easy to do). Don't let Pa'ia's tight parking scare you away -- Mana is worth the effort. If you're heading to Haleakalā or the Road to Hāna, stop here first and grab snacks, drinks, or a full lunch box. You'll thank yourself later. Definitely a 5-star spot for foodies, health nuts, or anyone who loves supporting local, sustainable living. read more

Mana Foods is a health food grocery store in Paia that has a ton of vegan friendly food! I was most excited about the insanely huge selection of very affordably-priced desserts in the bakery. (I say affordable compared to other vegan food in Maui. Not compared to food back home.) This would be a great place to stop for snacks on the way to the road to Hana. I got a peanut butter chocolate cupcake that was vegan and gluten-free. I really wanted the slice of vegan chocolate peanut butter cake but they said they only cut into a cake if it's not the last one. I guess they want to have whole cakes available for birthdays, which makes sense. They also have a bathroom, which I appreciate. read more

Mana has got to have almost everything and anything you might need! Their freshly baked croissants are also amazing! We always get our regular groceries and international groceries too! Also great selection of fresh veggies and fruit! Not to miss read more

Great deli in Paia. Stopped by to pickup coffee, guava fan, hot food - spinach burger (was fantastic) ,turkey egg croissant, ham& cheese croissant and the spinach croissant. They also had freshly baked cookies. Everything we ordered was delicious and fresh. We packed some of this for our long drive to Hana. Highly recommend if in the area. read more

This is a special store for food and nutrition in Paia. A village town. Today I came for ginseng vials I knew they had. Good for energy and stamina Daily with coffee. read more

Excellent! Absolutely right up my alley and will be yours if you're into organic, tons of less main stream options, health and wellness in mind, and I'm in heaven in their "pharmacy" section. Also well made baked goods and breads. You'd think Napa Valley has something like this but nothing comes close. You'd have to get to Berkeley or maybe Marin. read more

What I thought was Paias best bakery turned out to be the worst. I purchased over $30 worth of cupcakes from the bakery and they were so dry you could actually choke on them. Extremely disappointed in the lack of flavor, especially the dryness, and the amount that I purchased them for. read more

Everything! Wonderful, kind, friendly staff; in person and on the phone. Such a wide variety of products. Organics! You name it...they ve got it! Aloha! read more

Great Little Hidden Gem for all things Vegan unless you live in Paia. Mana Foods is always a must-visit destination when we come to Maui. It is a hidden gem for those of us who are looking for delicious Vegan options. I highly recommend visiting here even if you are not Vegan. Eat, Drink and Be Merry, my Friends!!! read more

I don't get the great reviews. I love Paia and its truly good and friendly stores like Alice in Hulaland and the Flatbread Company. I found Mana's customer service, quality of prepared foods, and availability of local and organic foods, to have decreased significantly in the years since I first visited. I found their staff to be incredibly rude and unhelpful -- and I live in a large city on the mainland famed for its rudeness. When I asked around in Maui, I learnt that Mana's reputation among other local stores is the same now as mine-- regret for what was. Try the Whole Foods instead. read more

Very unfortunate the Mana foods we all used to know is no more. Today Mana foods is more interested in profit than the customers they serve. Dealing with the "manager" is like pulling nails. Store continues to stock expired goods, even when made aware. Very disappointing. Shout out to Cathy who is the only employee to keep smiles on customers faces to this day. read more

Dude this place is UNREAL!!! The best health food store I've ever been to. We got a piece of marlin for 5 bucks that fed both of us. I mean what is going on here?! Best beef chili I've ever had in my life and that cake with the coconut, guava and whipped cream is going to haunt my dreams. Some of the items were half of the cost of what I pay in the Bay Area. Amazing quality and prices! read more

A solid health food place with a good cold and hot bar. Pricey but definitely better quality than Whole Foods. Love supporting a local business too! In a cute area, parking can be hard. Got the tofu spring rolls which were packed full, only complaint is that they fell apart very easily. read more

Nice Paia neighborhood grocery store and market. Has a lot of essential items, including anything you may have forgot to pack, and food in their deli. Could use some brightening up with a window or two in the front and kind tight and narrow in the aisles, but nice to pop in for a drink and a loaf of bread. read more

I want to move in. I could live in this store. Groceries, hot food bar, salad bar, healthy body products. Locally made reef safe sunscreen. Seriously this place is one of the best health food stores I've ever been in read more

Staff are always welcoming and friendly. Great choirs if almost everything in the store.

When in Paia, life slows down a little, everything takes forever, traffic is always at a standstill, there's no parking anywhere, nobody answers their phone so you can't place a takeout order.....and I HATE IT. So if you are hungry/hangry after Haleakalā and irritated with the above situation too, stop at Mana Foods. This is a health food small grocery store, that is like Down to Earth mixed with a bit of Whole Foods. The hot food deli had a few unique items like quinoa nut balls, some type of vegan tofu curry thing, but also had real chicken Thai curry and rosemary (real) chicken! There was a cold salad bar with a few great salad options, I got the long rice salad and some tofu watercress thing. Not my ideal meal but better than fast food (which is non existent in Paia anyway). I also grabbed some interesting snacks from the shelves, a curry Mochi rice crunch snack, and some vegan "blondie" cubes in the frig by the register. Also grabbed a "zero sugar" cola since they had no Coke Zero for my hubby haha. He's not appreciative of the unique items they carry here. You won't find any brands here that have TV commercials. What you will find is a unique health foods store. read more

Mana has changed significantly over the years, but remains #1 in terms of health food selection and overall pricing on the island. Years ago they used to have amazing raw cake and other raw gourmet premade foods, which they no longer make. However, their selection of premade foods is still 10x better than Whole Foods. Unfortunately, Mana sells way too much mainland produce. There are so many more local farmers they could be supporting. Down to Earth sells more local fruit than Mana! As a result, we buy most of our produce from Maui Hub. We no like mainland veges! read more

Always enjoy the baked goods and hot and cold deli items at Mana foods. We have terrible Diet Pepsi habit which they don't accommodate but I won't complain because everything else is so good. Today I enjoyed again the Cinnamon buns for breakfast, ham sandwich and a noodle salad at lunch. There were some great looking burritos and veggies on the hot bar and the make your own salad had fresh greens and extras as well. People are so nice and interesting. They have clean and bright bathrooms for customers, a family one with room to change the little one, and if you are patient parking can usually be found on street or adjacent lot. Be respectful of the lot and your time in store. Enjoy read more

Review is for the food bar. We got a couple salads and a hot eggplant parm meal. Excellent price for the area and the food was awesome. read more

This full service natural and organic grocery store is like a Tardis inside - it is much bigger and more extensive than you can imagine from the outside. They have a deli, bakery, full produce section, supplements, body care, bulk bins, food bar, meats, household items and all the usual brands of natural and organic foods plus many locally made food items. There is also a great selection of gluten free and vegan pastries and snacks and the prices are similar or only slightly more than in Kahului for the same organic items. I had a wheat free oat muffin that was very good, not too sweet and loaded with large juicy raisins and will make this a regular stop in the future. read more

This was a fantastic find! Not only doesn't it have a fantastic hot food bar, but apparently the pizza is the best ever! It is full of delicious healthy food options with a great smoothie bar as well. Highly recommend. read more

The cashiers were very nice and happy, the store had music playing and was not very loud. I went to the food parlor and got a pepperoni pizza slice. The slice was so good I went back later and got more. Amazing food and vibe. read more

We were driving back from Hana and stopped in Paia to walk the downtown area which has a bunch of inviting shops, art galleries and restaurants. Originally looking for a place to stop and eat, I noticed this grocery store that had been recommended by our friends who live in Kihei. It's a very nice grocery store where you can pick up a lot of healthy, organic type foods both prepared and packaged. I got a pea salad and my husband an egg salad sandwich. The salad was zesty and refreshing and the sandwich was a little dry but it did the job. I was happy to pick up our meal here instead of spending an hour eating inside a restaurant. Don't get me wrong, this is a very cute area but sometimes you just want to get your food to-go quickly and continue with your afternoon. read more

In the center of Pa'ia town is Mana Foods - and thank goodness it is! It's a perfect spot to stop in amidst exploring the beautiful town for a snack or some mid-trip shopping for nutritional options and organic health items. I stopped in the cafe for a morning coffee and açaí bowl, which was absolutely delicious. It wasn't sugary at all, and was quite fresh and flavorful with all the fruits and flavors blended. The service was quick, efficient and employees were very happy to assist and extremely friendly. There were options for all individuals of all different diets. This is a staple worth visiting for locals and tourists in the area. read more

Wonderful selection of prepared foods, produce, home-made baked goods, vitamins/personal care and standard groceries- with extremely fair prices (particularly for Maui). We drive several times during each vacation in Kaanapali to Pa'ia specifically to load up @ Mana. I have never encountered any team Mana member who is not kind, knowledgeable and most helpful. Mana is yet another reason why we return to Maui again & again. read more

As a resident of Maui for over 20 years I'm very sad to say Mans Foods customer service, quality of prepared foods and availability of local and organic foods has decreased significantly. Not to mention the complete lack of enough parking for customers. I will now be shopping at Whole Foods. read more

On a whim walking around town I stumbled across this amazing grocery store. Filled with local favorites, fresh fruit, hot food and cold food delights. For the vegan heart, naturalist and or the carnivore this store has everything under the moon. Although, it appears small don't let the outside fool you. Fully stocked with everything you need it reminded me of Trader Joe's and sprouts. After pacing through the aisles I grabbed some fresh fruit and local treats to eat at the hotel! It's always on my list to hit the local stores I always find such amazing treats to bring home. TIP: as a San Diego local the bitchin sauce is made in town and I was so pleased to see it in the store. It is made with almonds it's vegan, gluten free and kosher! That may scare non vegans but trust me it's amazing. Hot or cold severed in sandwiches, dip for veggies or smeared on chicken, fish or any protein! It's absolutely amazing!!! It was a slice of home while I was on vacation!! Enjoy! read more

I wandered into this sorta "health food market", as it was just next door from the Bank of Hawaii (Paia Branch). Been up since 4:30 AM, and when 11:30 AM rolled around.................I was really HANGRY man, as I didn't eat anything before I rushed out of da house to catch a early flight to Maui that day. Mana Foods is located in the heart of Paia town, and walked into this little supermarket, I could clearly see that this market features organic, gluten free, vegan options, & dairy free types of grindages. Well normally, it's not the type of store I would regularly shop at, but since I was so hungry I was hoping to find something I could just grab and eat quickly. Lucky for me, this health food store has a pretty sizable pre-made "hot food" section within the store. Hell, health food or not.................I hangry, so I gonna EAT, Period! Upon looking at the pre-made hot food section, I decided to get some Egg Fried Rice, Organic Mixed Vegetables, & some Turkey Meatballs in Marinara sauce, and for dessert...................I got myself a Vegan Chocolate Cake. What can I say about the grindages - The pre-made food from the hot food bar was OUTSTANDING my friends! If you didn't tell me it was healthy, organic, or whatever...............I wouldn't have even known the difference! And the Vegan Chocolate Cake I had later for dessert................this is vegan??? You Coulda fooled me my friends, cuz it certainly tasted like a regular chocolate cake.............even the texture of the cake tasted like a regular chocolate cake. Who is this baking master????? I wanna shake your hand, cuz that chocolate cake was outstanding!!! Well, sometimes you just gotta try new things..................and I must say Mana Foods certainly serves up some yummy pre-made hot foods! read more

Chefs kisseverything you need and more. This lil gem saved me when I was super hangry and had so many delish options.

Mana Foods is the best value on Maui compared to Whole Foods and Down to Earth. Sure, there are a lot of hippies and it seems like those hippies whip out their EBT cards and talk about how "bad" the Mainland is. It's irritating; but, I'll ignore and tune them out whenever I go there. It's similar to Berkeley Bowl on the Emeryville/Berkeley border in the bay except Mana Foods is much more cramped and much smaller. Still, their prices are competitive and very affordable for Maui. It's worth the drive wherever you are. Remember, it's not that far from Kahului, Upcountry, or Kihei. Heck, when I lived in Napili; I'd drive to Mana Foods periodically. When I was pregnant with my youngest five years ago, I stocked up on vegan/organic/GF prenatal vitamins here because it was cheaper than any store in the bay and Amazon! read more

What a great small food mart for food before heading over to road of Hana. They have the hot food section and drinks like coffee and smoothies. They also have a full grocery section with fresh fruits and convenient household items. All of the employees are nice and helpful. This is such a small town and packed with hecka cars read more

Not sure why this is such an often recommended stop on the road to Hana. Found the staff to be a bit abrasive. Plenty of off brand health food and premium snacks. Would've preferred stocking up at the Costco in Kahului. read more

Okay so first off this place has been a lifesaver since the shortage on formula. They had the EXACT formula I needed for my baby while every store on island that would usually have it was out of stock. Thank you thank you! Second, these smoothies I got were absolutely amazing! I wish I remembered the names :( but my husband ordered them. I wasn't very crazy about the spinach filo but it could be just pregnancy taste buds. All in all we really enjoyed what we got here :) read more

Mana's is the Best place to shop on Maui. They have the most affordable prices for organic food. I love this place and I'm sure you will too. Parking can be challenging however if your patient and send your parking Angels ahead you do have better luck and well worth it. It is the most delicious hot food bar on the island. You do have to get there before 3:00 to get the best choice of hot prepared food. The hot bar is not open for dinner. The also have a lovely juice, smoothie and coffee bar that closes at noon. read more
