If choosing a flavor is stressful for you, Paia Gelato may not be the best place to visit because the options are almost unfairly good. One of the things that immediately stands out is the selection. They offer around 12 dairy free sorbet flavors and 12 traditional dairy gelato flavors, which means everyone in the family can find something they love. Whether you avoid dairy or simply want the classic creamy experience, there are plenty of choices. The flavors are outstanding. Every scoop tastes rich, fresh, and packed with flavor. This is not one of those places where you settle for a backup choice because your favorite flavor is gone. Even the samples make it hard to decide. The customer service was just as impressive. The staff were friendly, patient, and happy to help as we worked our way through the difficult task of choosing from two dozen tempting options. Overall, Paia Gelato is easily worth the stop. Great flavors, plenty of dairy free choices, and excellent customer service make it one of those places you’ll be thinking about long after the last scoop is gone. 🍨

We stopped here on our way to The Road to Hana and grabbed sandwiches and açaí bowls and they were all wonderful! If it wasn’t too early we would have loved to try to Gelato, it looked delicious too!! They had great recommendations for us and tips to have a safe and fun trip to Hana!

Stop here before you go to the road to Hanna!!! They have packed lunches, gluten-free options, healthy food, coffee before you go they have everything! The staff is so wonderful and if you are a customer, they have a bathroom!

We love Paia Gelato and Sorbetto and buy it at the ABC store whenever in Maui. Great to find the store while in Paia. The flavors are incredible and so creamy. We love them all but Haupia is our best and Thai Ginger Lime is a current favorite. Highly recommend wherever you can get it - buy it!
