Good lord get bigger than a small or you'll regret it! The shaved ice with cookie butter was the real treat. I got the gelato in a dipped waffle bowl with ube and coconut gelato and it was amazing. This place was so good that we had to come back twice. The waffles with gelato also looked really good but it wasn't for me this trip. The store has limited indoor seating but plenty outside and there's the beach across the seat. grab and bite and go watch the sunset! Service was amazing. here's a little thing that blew my mind: using metal spoons for sampling! it was this small details that really helps with the environment and made me want to come back even more. read more

The nice thing is the kids cup which is sufficient for small kids at a kids prices I was lucky and saw the sign for broken cones only $1.00. It was quart zip bag full of broke sugar cones!!

Wow! I was impressed with the syrups for the shaved ice! They are house made with fruit purée and pure joy compared to the other shaved ice places we've tried. I was also pleased that they had gelato, ice cream, & soft serve for the non-shaved ice lovers in my family. It's located in a pleasant square with plenty of food choices & gift store. The girls happily drew on the chalkboard walls. This will be our go to on the next Maui trip! read more

Located in a small strip mall. We come here every time we are in Maui. They changed ownership a few years ago and it is still good but the syrups are different from the previous owner. The prices are good and the snow is soft but the flavored syrup could be better. My son who loves Hawaiian snow is disappointed that they changed syrups. read more

Holy moly! Since I came here a week ago, I've come another 3 or 4 times. They have a ton of options, from ice cream, gelato, waffles, smoothies, shaved ice, and more. Each time, I have gotten the same thing, shaved ice with mango gelato, and passion fruit, guava, and blue raspberry as the three syrup flavors. It is so bomb! This style of shaved ice is very likely similar to other places, but this is the only Hawaiin ice I've had, so it's the best. The gelato is really high quality and it's really cool that they allow multiple flavors no matter what size you get. read more

Kinda one of those places that sounds and looks generic, but nonetheless a dessert place if staying in the local area. I didn't quite see too many unique flavors of ice cream or gelato, but opted for a scoop of lilikoi cheesecake. $8+ after tax was a bit disappointing to see, but the taste was decent; the tartness cancelled out the sweetness. Not the thick gelato texture I was expecting, but more soft serve-like. Service doesn't radiate aloha, not that my East coast personality would normally expect it, but it's apparent relative to everyone else in Maui. read more

Yummy Gelato, Great Service [Kihei Maui HI] Wanted something sweet after dinner so we stopped by Maui Gelato at the Dolphin Plaza in Kihei (across from Kamaole Beach Park 1). They have lots of sweet treat options to choose from... fruit and cream covered Belgian waffles, gelato, Maui's own Roselani ice cream, sundaes, shakes, smoothies, açaí bowls... my goodness, they are ready to satisfy any sweet tooth cravings! I ordered a cup of Stracciatella gelato. It has milk, cream, and sugar, with chocolate bits swirled inside the mixture... it's a bit like chocolate-chip ice cream, but the chocolate is finer. Delicious flavors! So good!! I remember the staff to be friendly. Looks like a family-owned business since a young boy was the one who prepared my ice-cream. The shoppe has indoor seating and was spotless. You can also relax and savor your ice cream outside. They have a few seating outside too. Review #2714 read more

Solid gelato with a variety of flavors. Guy working was friendly enough and let me taste a few flavors. Ultimately got the POG and the lychee peachy. Both tasted good but the flavor was more sweet than it was of the actual fruits. It's nice they have a lot of good tropical flavors. Lots of seats outside and inside as surprisingly it was pretty empty around 730pm on a nice summer evening. While the actual taste didn't blow me away, it was still solid and I would go back if in the area. read more

Small place located in Dolphin Plaza, but enough indoor and outdoor seating for visitors passing by. Otherwise an easy walk across the street to the picnic area with a view of the ocean. I only got the shaved ice, but as a flight attendant traveling the world, I would have to say this has been the best shaved ice I've tried. Flavors and textures were great, plus the price point for the small size was plenty. It did melt pretty fast, but you're in Maui, you can't complain Lots of options for the whole family! read more

Well, we found a winner folks! It was 8pm on New Years Eve after a very long day of driving the road to Hana and sunset at Haleakala. The kids were cranky and hungry but everything was closed. As we were driving, we found Maui Gelato and by some miracle they were open! Hallelujah! First, this shop was darling! The decor was so cute, the pictures of the food were very helpful, and it smelled AMAZING in there! We ordered gelato and shaved ice for dinner. Best dinner ever!!! The shaved ice was on the more expensive side, but they were huge! The best part was, if you order ice cream on the bottom they give you a good portion of ice cream. The flavors are delicious and tastes like natural fruit and not at all artificial. The only downfall to this place is the girl who works there seems to not like her job very much. We went back three days in a row and every time she was not very friendly. In fact, on two occasions she made comments to her coworker about our order. Apparently shaved ice with ice cream on the bottom is really hard to make? However, the boy who works there makes up for her attitude. Besides that, everything else about this place was great! read more

Specialties

Maui Gelato is an authentic Italian style ice cream shop. We offer 20 flavors daily, including a selection of fine italian style Sorbettos (water based) and Gelato (dairy based). What is Gelato you ask? Gelato is fine Italian ice cream! Made with less fat and churned slower to create a much denser, more flavorful product than regular North American ice cream. The flavors in Gelato and Sorbetto provide a powerful taste sensation you won't get with traditional sugar filled ice creams. To find out more about Gelato, come in and try some free samples! Let us show you what you have been missing!

Maui Gelato was opened in 2011 with a simple mission - to provide visitors to our island and our local customers the very best Gelato on the island. All of our tasty Gelatos and Sorbettos are made fresh on Maui with local ingredients and an authentic italian style process. We serve only the very best products in our store. Now under new ownership, Maui Gelato continues to provide the very best Gelato on the island, in a great setting right across from Kamaole Beach Park in Central Kihei!

We also ordered the Strawberry Italian soda and the Mango Italian soda and for dessert the mint chip gelato. Everything was well made and delicious The service was excellent the cashier was friendly and smiling and very helpful. I like the nice seating area that this place has with the nice deck and covered roof. It is also nice that they have the ceiling fan for those warm days. I have heard the chicken is really good that is what I want to try the next time. Everything was well made. I will be going back to try out more menu items and I would recommend you try them out if you are in the neiborhood.

The lines at Thai Mee Up were long and it was close to 8 PM, so I ended up here. Lucky me. I had…read morethe vegetarian gyro and added feta/pickled cucumber/fries to the order. It took about 10 minutes and the gyro was so tasty. Cauliflower, crispy chickpeas in a delicious sauce. They have a nice seating area as well unlike some of the other trucks here.

The Greek Food Truck opened at South Maui Gardens this past Saturday, December 2.

After visiting this little shop very late one evening a couple years and having a ice cream cookie…read moresandwich from their vending machine we made it a point to stop by during the day. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the place was very clean, there was a pretty large selection of ice cream flavors and cookie flavors to choose from. If you wanted a premade combo, there was a freezer to pick your combination. I selected chocolate coconut cookies with chocolate ice cream with chocolate chunks and chocolate syrup (I like chocolate). My wife selected a pre-made combo of coffee ice cream and coffee cookies. Both were amazing.

Peace Love Shave Ice in Kihei was a decent stop, but overall just okay for me. We went after a long…read moreday of hiking and beach time on Christmas Day, and we were honestly just excited to find any place open. We rushed over and waited about 20 minutes in line, which felt reasonable given the holiday. We ordered three flavors--mango, passion fruit, and Tiger's Blood--and added macadamia nut ice cream for an extra $3. Overall, the shave ice was fine, but nothing memorable. The ice itself wasn't as fluffy as Ululani's, which really affects the texture. The syrup flavors were also underwhelming. The mango flavor was a bit strange and didn't really taste like mango at all. The passion fruit and Tiger's Blood were better, but still not very bold or punchy. The macadamia nut ice cream was another letdown. It was taken straight out of the deep freezer and was rock hard at the bottom. To be fair, the employee did warn us, but for a $3 add-on, I expected a better experience. The ice cream flavor itself was just okay, and there weren't many macadamia nuts mixed in. Compared to other shave ice spots, this one falls short. The ice isn't as fluffy, the syrup flavors aren't as strong, and the value for what you get feels low. For reference, I'd give Ululani's a solid 4/5, and Waiola Shave Ice on Oahu is a 5/5 for me. Peace Love Shave Ice lands at a 3/5--fine if you're nearby or need a quick treat, but not a must-visit.
