Food scene

Check out this place for breakfast. Try the cinnamon rolls and the banana macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup! There is always a line so go early or prepare to wait a bit.

Great casual food spot. You walk up and order and we highly recommend the chicken and waffles. They are drool worthy!

No food but a fun, little brewery! There is a great place to grab some Mexican nearby at Ono Tacos. You can bring food to this brewery.

Sightseeing

Road to Hana is a must when visiting Maui. There is this awesome app that I recommend called Shaka Maui. It is a paid app but it is worth it. It tracks your GPS and plays fun insights or tells you about the best stops along the drive. It’s really well done. My favorite stops are Red Sand Beach, Black Sand Beach, 3 Bears Falls, go swimming at Ching’s Pond, and 7 sacred pools.
