Among Hawaii’s breathtaking beaches and heavenly hikes, there are countless remarkable restaurants that need to be on your island dining bucket list. Some of these phenomenal eateries are more famous than others, but there’s one restaurant everyone who lives in the Hawaiian Islands knows about: Leoda’s Kitchen & Pie Shop. In fact, Leoda’s is so popular that it made it on Yelp’s "Top 100 Places to Eat in the US" in 2016 as a respectable No. 92.
Located in Olowalu Village, just outside Lahaina and tucked away on the side of Honoapiilani Highway is Leoda’s Kitchen & Pie Shop, a café that is all about farm fresh and sustainable ingredients, and hand-crafted specialties.
The casual family-style eatery is the ideal spot for your next meal in Lahaina: Leoda’s serves up mouthwatering food anytime of day - from breakfast and brunch to lunch, dinner, and even just dessert!
If you’re around for breakfast, served between 7 and 10 a.m., the seared ahi or ham’n benedicts are absolutely to-die-for.
Not into eggs or savory breakfast foods? Sweet tooths will love their coconut french toast and banana pancakes.
Focusing on comfort food classics with a unique island twist, Leoda’s serves up sandwiches, hoagies, salads, burgers made with American Kobe beef, savory pot pies, and hot dogs – all with fresh baked bread.
Don’t forget to grab dessert while you’re there – their chocolate macadamia nut pie is heaven for any chocolate lover, and the bananas in the banana cream pie are harvested from the restaurant’s own farm. But it’s the coconut cream pie that will surely make your mouth water.
Pies - and bread - are baked fresh daily, and it’s not unusual for Leoda’s to sell out before closing time, so if you have your heart set on a decadent apple crumb pie, you’ll have to stop by early.
The plantation era atmosphere found inside Leoda’s is positively charming, with reclaimed wood paneled walls, industrial lighting, and metal bar stools reminiscent of your high school art classroom.
With 4.5 stars and more than 1,600 reviews on Yelp, Leoda’s is undoubtedly one of Maui’s most popular eateries. Locals and tourists alike flock to Leoda’s for quality comfort food and mouthwatering pies - and it’s easy to see why.
Open daily from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., Leoda’s is located at 820 Olowalu Village Road in Lahaina. Have you ever visited this iconic Hawaii eatery? Don’t forget to add these 9 award-winning restaurants to your Hawaiian dining bucket list.
