Makawao Garden Cafe

"I recently visited Makawao Garden Cafe with high hopes, but the experience left me disappointed. The ordering process from the tiny shack was unremarkable, and when I chose to sit at a wooden table, the owner insisted on a small, less comfortable option despite the absence of other customers. The crab sandwich, unfortunately, lacked freshness and had an overpowering fishy taste. The odd encounter with the owner and the subpar food make it unlikely that I’ll return to this establishment."

"Found this simple little gem while walking around the town. Probably one of the best fish sandwiches (Mahi Mahi)! And each sandwich comes with a small Caesar salad. Highly recommend!"

"Wow! What a hidden gem. If you are not looking forward to it then you will walk right past it. This is a great place for a quick bite or a light lunch. Hands down the best fish sandwich I have ever had. Seating is limited but prices are good and the food is fresh. Highly recommended!!!"

"We really enjoyed the Makawao Garden Cafe today. The weather was a bit blustery, but after visiting the Haleakalā crater, pretty much everything felt warm! The cafe is easy to miss, as it's just off the street and kind of tucked in behind another building. We both had the crab and avocado sandwich, which was delicious. There was a family of chickens hanging around that were very entertaining as well. The staff was friendly and the prices were very reasonable."
