We tried the strawberry and vanilla ice cream, and honestly, it was the best ice cream we've ever had. The flavors were incredibly rich, fresh, and absolutely delicious.

She let us sample a few different flavors before settling on our choices. My husband decided on the Kona Mud Pie while I opted for the Banana Mac Crunch. We enjoyed our scoops while sitting on one of their benches. We both felt that the flavors were decent, but the texture of the ice cream was a little "freezer burned" - we found chunks of ice in it, which was off putting. All in all, if you're craving a sweet treat, and you don't want traditional Hawaiian shaved ice, come check it out.

I'm honestly surprised I didn't find them sooner! I originally stopped by for their sweet crepes, and they absolutely lived up to expectations. I ordered the mango crepe, and from the moment I took my first bite, I was instantly transported back to Japan. It was even better than I had hoped. The homemade whipped cream has a subtle coconut flavor that is light, delicate, and incredibly delicious. Paired with their crepe batter--which is made from a blend of flours, including ʻulu flour--it creates a flavor and texture that feels completely unique and I am obsessed. I also tried the coconut kuzu mochi, a chilled Japanese-style mochi dessert that reminded me of an elevated version of haupia pudding. It was refreshing, silky, and perfect for a warm Maui day. Their iced matcha latte was another pleasant surprise. I'm not usually someone who enjoys matcha on its own, but their version is made with oat milk and maple syrup, and the maple complements the earthy matcha beautifully. Somehow, it all just works. Beyond the food, the couple running the shop are sweet and welcoming. Since my first visit, I've returned a couple more times. On one visit, they had already sold out of crepes for the day. While I didn't get to satisfy my craving, I couldn't help but feel happy for them. From what they told me, they spent years working toward opening this space and were finally able to do so late last year. It's easy to see why people are discovering and supporting them. Maui has plenty of great food, but Something Great Hawaii offers something a little different--a taste of Japan with thoughtful local touches. I would love to see them continue to thrive. Highly recommend!

They had a wide variety of menu items, from light bites to sweet or savory crepes. We decided to try the: - Miso Eggplant Crepe - Beautiful presentation, and the eggplant was very flavorful! - Purple Sweet Potato & Macadamia Nut Crepe - This unfortunately was a miss for us both; I'm not sure if it's the coconut whip or the sweet potato, but something tasted very medicinal and sadly didn't go well with the sweetness of the crepe The staff working at the shop though were super sweet and you can tell that they have a great heart for each item that they prepare.

I know I did! So I was excited to discover Maui Nata food truck, a locally owned small business that offers these unique treats here on Maui--including the classic version as well as flavors that showcase Hawaiian favorites like coconut, lilikoi, macadamia nuts, chocolate, and purple sweet potato. Ingredients are locally sourced as much as possible, and the tarts are handmade. Each one is a flaky, buttery, and creamy delight--you'll have a tough time picking a favorite flavor! They're available fresh or frozen. They don't have a fixed location or schedule, but instead do pop ups at various places, like the Maui Sunday Market. Follow them on Instagram or subscribe to their newsletter to find out where they'll be next: https://instagram.com/mauinata?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

I love it when I see these guys at fairs or markets because they have the best little treats. They are also always in a great mood so it is always a pleasure to do business with them. I love the traditional ones especially warm, but I would recommend trying all the flavors. The tarts are always creamy and the crust is light and flaky. I swear I had pictures but cant find them right now probably because most of the time they don't last long enough to take pictures.LOL. Ok well if you spot them at the next event you're at make sure you grab some of these treats because they usually sell out fast. Until next time. Aloha !
