best hf on Maui

The store is great. The selection is ample. Not to worry if you forget your hippie shampoo or sunblock, this place is right there next to the airport and has great selection and good prices.

Pros: selection, location, cost

A vegan’s dream!! Hot food bar and bistro

My favourite place on the island to eat, worth every penny. I daydream about it. Hot food bar with tons of vegan options (there is no meat in the store at all, it’s a vegetarian grocery story with hot food bar by weight, and a bistro with food and smoothies). The salad bar is unreal. I love the late hours. I also always hit it on the way to the airport. I wish this was my business and I’d love to meet the brains behind this operation, just so cool.

Amazing hot bar and baked goods for vegans

This is low key one of the best places on the island to get vegan food. The enchiladas are actually spicy and taste incredible.

A gem of a store for vegans

My husband convinced me to stock up upon our arrival at this store, and so glad he did.
Fruit selection was ok, I would have liked to see more local produce. Great selections on both deli and processed fun products. Maybe even more options than I ever see in the San Francisco Bay Area (!) Prices also were somewhat comparable to what one pays in SF.

Pros: No meat anywhere

Amazing

This place is decievingly large, I wasn't expecting such a large natural foods market.

The aisles are stacked with tons of vegan products that are difficult to find elsewhere. It was a lot of fun perusing the aisles. Prices weren't outrageous as one would expect from a natural grocer.

They have a hot food bar with so many fun options that I wish we could have tried them all. All decently priced. I loved seeing all the vegan spam musubi and we grabbed so many for the road.

Ordered some sandwiches and ate them in the dining area upstairs.

There's a shaker of nooch alongside your usual condiments, salt, and pepper.

MUST visit while in Maui.

Pros: Vegan spam musubi, Nooch station

Cons: Too many choices, Stomach cannot fit all the food, Cheesecake wasn't vegan

Excellent place for a quick lunch

Got the mock chicken tofu salad, and mock chicken. It was very delicious. They have a large array of different vegan food and baked items, the cornbread and mango bread was amazing. Would go again. My only complaint was the banana bread was a not very good

Pros: Buffet was delicious, Large array of vegan baked goods

Terrific groceries and prepared food options for vegans

Delighted to find beautiful organic produce as well as healthy products on the shelves, with a bonus: prepared food on a steam table next to an extensive salad bar. Hot food was vegan except for two entrees that had cheese. We had lunch there two separate days, and did our grocery shopping for the week of our visit to Maui. Highly recommend whether you are just grocery shopping or are looking for a meal.

Vegan Paradise

While it's not 100% vegan, there is such a great assortment of vegan and it is reasonably priced. Hot food, cold food, pre-packaged food, deli food, etc. It is wonderful.

Pros: Variety , Quality , Staff

Cons: Once a non-vegan deli sandwich was marked vegan

This is what vegan dreams are made of

When I visited Maui for the first time I fell in love with this place, I was so excited to come back. We’ve been in Maui for 2 weeks and we’ve been to Down to Earth more than I can count. It was a great option when we landed in Maui around 8pm and everything was closed. We got pre-made sandwiches and a few snacks. You need to try the tofu musubi! I was so grateful to have a vegan option of this Hawaiian delicacy. I also recommend buying Coconut Glens ice cream here, it’s $6 or $7 for a carton of it compared to the $8 they charge PER scoop from the truck on road to Hana! The chocolate milkshake and Nashville hot chickn sandwich from the deli were also really good!

Amazing food from deli

There were many clearly labeled vegan items for grab and go food. We decided to try out the deli and get made to order sandwiches. Everything was really good - especially the Nashville Hot Chick’n Sandwich. The grocery store itself is really nice but SO expensive. We bought a single cucumber for *gulp* $4.50. Tons of vegan specialty items but I wish they’d ditch the dairy and eggs and go completely vegan!

Pros: Great food made at grocery store , Zero meat

Cons: Super expensive Hawaiian prices , Produce really expensive

Just a great store with a good amount of options and a friendly vibe!

Nice store to visit, lots of foods and drinks available for purchase. Worth visiting to check it out.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Have plenty of tables to sit at and eat, Friendly service

Cons: High protein low carb was hard to find, Good, but I remember their store in Oahu had more, I didn’t find dishes that really blew me away

Heaven

Close to the airport! Like the other reviewers have said, there's a ton of vegan options here (entrees, soups, pastries, and pizza). I had some mock chicken, pad thai, curry, an amazing spinach dip, and some fried eggplant. I like that they use compostable plates (though I didn't see a compost bin) and sell a variety of vegan substitutes and eco friendly items.

Pros: Tons of vegan options, Eco friendly, Close to airport

Cons: Pricey (10.99/lb)

AWESOME VEGAN SELECTION

Down to Earth is the store on Maui that impressed me the most with their vegan selection. The entire store is veg but certain items do contain dairy. They have a huge selection of vegan baked goods, including cookies and donuts daily. The hot bar is stocked full of things like bbq jackfruit, chicken tofu, vegan macaroni salad as well as healthy options. They also have a counter where you can order vegan wraps and burgers. Unlike Mana Foods, down to Earth has an easy parking lot with lots of open spaces, which I appreciate. Overall a great place to stop if you need snacks or groceries!
