The view

Everything is pre cooked, no cash taken here. Cashier was not happy. It came in a timely fashion The location is fabulous The view of whales jumping beautiful birds.

Outside view
Mariah A.

Okay, hear me out. The views were amazing BUT the açaí bow I got had hardly any smoothie at the bottom of the bowl. It felt like I was just eating fruit in a cup with granola it didn't have the creamy smooth part of an açaí bowl. If I'm spending $18 for a good açaí bowl you better preform. The service was very good, both women working were super bubbly and engaged in conversation we had. I'm just overall under whelmed with the bowl. I need more smoothie so maybe try switching to bigger cups??

Acai bowl

This was a little food stall at the Wailea Beach Resort. I stopped there several times in the morning after my walk to get something for breakfast and did lunch there a couple times as well. They do a very nice acai bowl that I had multiple times. Lots a great fresh fruit on it. They also make a very nice banana bread that I had a couple of times. For lunch, I had their caprese sandwich one day and their margherita flat bread another day. Both were tasty. Staff was friendly and helpful. A nice location oceanfront.

Açaí bowl

We walked by on along the beach and had never gotten any Acai bowls in the area, and heard you should try acai bowls in Haiwaii, so we decided to give it a try. Although I only had one thing from them, it was ok. Nothing really special. To me it wasn't enough acai, and it was hella expensive for $16 for just all fruit and a few sprinkles of granola. I can't say what their other food tastes like. But acai bowl not worth it.

Menu as of June 2023

Decent beach food stand with tasty smoothies. Their bahn mi was surprisingly good for a place that doesn't necessarily specialize in Vietnamese food. Definitely a filling treat if you find yourself at in the Wailea area, but you're probably better off bringing your own stuff. $30 for charcuterie? Yikes. I didn't get it but my kid nephew did and it was at least worth $10 worth of meat and cheese from your local grocery store.

Açaí bowl. Filled with tons of granola on bottom
Joleen O.

It's pricey but it's also tasty! The breakfast sandwich was quite yummy, the flu kicker juice was just the right amount of ginger and fruit juice. The açaí bowl was more expensive than anywhere else I've been to, and a bit lacking on the actual smoothie amount, but it's a resort bar so I kind of expected over priced yet tasty dishes. It's great to stop by on your sunrise stroll though so you've just gotta do it.

Chicken banh mi sandwich and flatbread
David A.

It is a nice little joint facing the beautiful Pacific Ocean. We got the flatbread and the chicken sandwich. The flatbread was good just would have been better if crust was a bit crispier. The sandwich was just too messy and hard to eat. Very nice employees.

Perfect beach side tacos!
Jackie C.

What a perfect spot for beach side tacos! My husband and I were staying at Hotel Wailea up the street and some locals suggested that this was a great spot for lunch. It was a lovely walk from our beach spot to the restaurant. We ordered the nachos and fish tacos - absolutely delicious! The outside area was beautiful, the view could not be beat and the price was perfect. We walked back along the beach to our chairs for a nap. It was really the perfect amount of food for two people and just far enough away to get the blood moving after laying around.

Sunset
Ashwin S.

Listen when you're sitting there staring out at the sunset, it's hard to not feel good but then you get a Mai Tai and some fresh flat bread. You're going to have a good time, that's what whale tale was about. Incredible location and solid food. We had their flat bread, smoothies and Mai Tais on a couple of nights that we were there and the food was good not spectacular if a bit pricey but that's the location.

What to try ..
Yogibear C.

Best place to grab a healthy breakfast. We loved the Açaí berries and fresh juices. Top notch service. We almost could not resist our temptation to get the Whale's tale juice and Açaí bowl at this place. The lines were long but we cared the least.

Lunch menu: We came to spoon and key for several sandwiches during our stay in the Wailea area…read more We had Gino's dakine and the surfalotta for two days. The sandwiches are top notch! Perfect construction of bread, spreads, and meats. It beat the heck out of eating food at our hotel. This is the Perfect spot to get a sandwich on the go and hang by the beach. The sandwiches were filling enough for me and the spouse to share. Dinner: We also came for dinner in person. I had high hopes for the smash burger based on their sandwiches ... unfortunately it fell flat. It wasn't the best burger I've ever had. The pickle was over powering. We also ordered the appetizer octopus, kampachi, and grilled shrimp which all were really good. Check this place out because I hope they stick around the next time I'm visiting Maui.

My husband had the same hash with grilled ahi (very salty) . They tell you the egg on the hash is a runny sous vide- I think she said. I thought it would be ok, like ramen, ....Runny was right, the white of the egg was more translucent than opaque. Specify more cooked egg if this raw thing is not for you. Service was with a smile, but we were half finished with our breakfast before the Bloody Marys showed up. Patio is nice and airy with some view across the blue course and toward Molokini. In the treetops. So why a rate of 3? It's the details- the server commented on delayed drinks very dismissively, and their outdoor speaker was on too loud to the point it reverberated with some static, definitely blown out. I asked to please turn it down or off as it was not adding to the experience. Got a very strange look and maybe it was turned down a fraction about 10 minutes later. Traffic noise was significant but we were sitting outside next to the road. Expected. But to compete with the music and traffic was not our cup of tea. This breakfast as described was $95. You decide.

The cashier was really friendly, and once you order, they actually come find you to hand you your order, which was a really nice touch. The açaí itself was really good. The portion is big and comes in a cute jar. The açaí was thick and smooth, not overly sweet, and the fruit was fresh. It felt super refreshing after a long morning, and the whole place just has a great, chill vibe. Definitely a nice stop if you are in the area and want something light but filling.

I came upon Teapresso Bar while exploring the beaches around Wailea. It's located inside the Island Gourmet Market that's located in the Shops at Wailea. This boba shop actually brews your tea to order. I ordered the signature milk tea and earl grey milk tea, 50% sweet with boba. Both drinks were fragrant with a strong tea flavor. And the boba was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of chewiness. Highly recommend!

One was taking orders, another was making the tickets & the third was stocking. But instead of completing our ticket they started making everyones orders that ordered after we did. Confused if they needed to make the gelato from scratch or just couldn't find the scoop. We went back to the counter to ask what was taking so long. The three employees ignored us walking back and forth to keep working on the other orders. Once we finally got someones attention the person that took our order then pointed out to another employee that we were still waiting on the easiest item to make. I however would recommend this place. Both the acai bowl and gelato was delicious. Just not the greatest customer service.
