When the Maui heat can’t be beat, find your way to a frozen treat. You could be transported to a world of butterflies and rainbows, or at the very least you’ll cool down as you fire up your taste buds.
Go Old School
Tasaka Guri Guri
If you grew up on Maui, it’s likely that a paper cup and a wooden spoon will remind you of the frozen classic that is Tasaka Guri Guri. This mix between a sorbet and an ice cream is a favorite of Maui grown keiki. You can buy select flavors by the quart – but hurry, they sell out quickly!
Monday – Saturday 10 am – 4 pm. Maui Mall 70 East Kaahumanu Ave, Kahului

Cookie Monster
Dolish
If you’re nostalgic about sneaking bites of cookie dough as a child (and dare I say licking the mixers!) you’ll love this edible cookie dough food trailer opened by a Maui girl and graduate of the Maui Culinary Academy.
Thursday – Sunday 10 am – 5 pm. Trailer parked at the Maui Golf and Sports Park in Ma’alaea.

Throw it Out There
