After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
The Hawaiian Island of Maui is known for many things, including its breathtaking beaches, towering mountain peaks, cascading waterfalls, and jaw-dropping landscapes no matter which direction you look. Oh, and there’s one more thing the island is known for: epic banana bread. Yes, you read that right. You’ll find some of the world’s best banana bread on Maui, and this incredible trail will take you to six of the most famous spots to buy this mouthwatering, homemade treat. Made with local bananas, these six spots serve up the best of the best. Let’s start our scrumptious adventure, shall we?
Located in the isolated village of Kahakuloa, Julia’s Banana Bread is legendary. Locally made fresh every day, their banana bread is moist and packed full of flavor. They only make so many loaves each morning, hence why this is our first stop.
This hole-in-the-wall bakery is known for their delicious malasadas, butter rolls, and of course, banana bread. As you enter the small bakery, the smell of goodies baking in the oven will bombard your senses, and you'll most likely leave with more treats than you could possibly consume before our next stop.
This colorful snack spot is located next to one of the most popular spots along Maui’s Hana Highway, Twin Falls. Fruit is harvested from the valley just a few steps away, and their banana bread pairs perfectly with a smoothie or coconut drink.
This roadside fruit stand serves up some of the most mouthwatering banana bread around, as well as shave ice, chili dogs, and pork sandwiches. Stop for a moment or two and enjoy the incredible scenery with your lunch.
Home to Maui’s "original" banana bread, this roadside spot marks the halfway point to Hana and also happens to have served hungry locals and tourists alike for 35 years! Best enjoyed with one of their signature pineapple smoothies, the banana bread is moist, flavorful, and delicious.
Utilizing bananas picked fresh from the farm, raw, organic sugarcane, and fresh butter, this banana bread is made in small batches and absolutely to-die-for. For a unique taste, try their macadamia nut, chocolate chip, or pineapple banana bread.
5100, 2910 Hana Hwy., Hana, HI 96713
If you aren’t familiar with Maui’s mouthwatering banana bread, this trail may seem silly, but trust us, you won’t find better banana bread anywhere else in the world.
