In-Depth Information
In the same strip mall as Las Piñatas, Bangkok Cuisine (395 Dairy Rd., 808/893-0026,
bangkokcuisinemaui.com , 11am-2:30pm, 5pm-9:30pm daily) has a similar selection of
noodles and curries in a similarly mediocre location. The food is enjoyable and authentic.
Although the bill can run a little high, the portions are enormous.
Filipino
Considering the island's sizable Filipino community, you would expect more Filipino res-
taurants around town, but the only one with any prominence is Bistro Manila (230 Hana
Hwy., 808/871-6934, 5pm-8:30pm Mon.-Sat.). The local favorite serves dishes so authen-
tic you would think you were in Manila. The restaurant is near some car dealerships in a
warehouse off Hana Highway. While there is no liquor license, you are free to pair your
pancit, sisig, or pan-fried bangus with beer that you bring in yourself.
German
Industrial Kahului is the last place you would expect to find a Bavarian aprés-ski lodge,
but Brigit and Bernard's Garden Café (335 Ho'ohana, 808/877-6000, 11am-2:30pm
Mon., 11am-2:30pm, 5pm-9:30pm Tues.-Fri., 5pm-9:30pm Sat., $16-32) pumps out stick-
to-your-bones German fare that could easily be in the Black Forest. The vaulted A-frame
ceiling is hung with colorful steins, cross-country skis, and posters of alpine ski resorts.
Order a massive plate of bratwurst or schnitzel served with a huge potato rosti and wash it
down with a Bitburger brew. The garden area outside makes for a nice biergarten.
Coffee Shops
For local coffee beans head to M Maui Coffee Roasters (444 Hana Hwy., 808/877-2877,
www.mauicoffeeroasters.com , 7am-6pm Mon.-Fri., 8am-5pm Sat., 8am-2:30pm Sun., $9),
the best little coffee shop in all of Kahului. In the same shopping complex as Marco's
Grill and Deli, Maui Coffee Roasters has an assortment of brews made from Maui, Kona,
Kaua'i, and Moloka'i beans. The full breakfast and lunch menu features bagels, breakfast
wraps, sandwiches, and salads. There are a number of tables, free Wi-Fi, and a full range
of coffee accessories for sale as well.
Shave Ice
If you're on the way to the airport and crave one last shave ice, stop at Ululani's (333
Dairy Rd., 360/606-2745, www.ululanisshaveice.com , 11am-6pm daily), in a small kiosk
by the Wow-Wee Maui's Kava Bar and Grill.
