Leoda’s regularly make “where to eat on Maui” lists and their pies have a loyal fan base…but it still feels like one of those places that’s a bit of a secret.

Leoda’s is famous for their pies and rightfully so… but it’s also a full on lunch and dinner spot. It’s casual, order at the counter, totally unpretentious. But the food quality is a step above what the vibe might suggest. It’s the kind of place that surprises you a little, in the best way.

Who This Is Perfect For…

The location is honestly half the appeal. Leoda’s sits right in Olowalu, which makes it a PERFECT stop if you’re coming or going from anywhere in West Maui. When you’re driving over the Pali coming or going from West Maui, Leoda’s is right there and it’s the best kind of detour. It’s great for lunch, works well for an early dinner, and it’s casual enough that you can show up in whatever you’ve been wearing to the beach all day. Families, couples, solo travelers… everybody fits here. And if you’re just passing through and not stopping for a full meal, at minimum grab some pie to go. There’s really no excuse not to.

Side Note: If you’re looking for a rental car for your trip, I LOVE Discount Hawaii Car Rentals. They’re seriously the only company I ever use. They’ll give you the very best prices, you don’t have to reserve with a credit card or pay until you show up, you can cancel and re-book anytime if you find a better rate, and they usually have a special that adds additional drivers for no fee. It’s a no brainer. Click here to check rates for your trip.

What to Order

Okay so the pie. Let’s talk about the pie. The chocolate macadamia nut is their most popular and it lives up to the reputation completely. But personally my favorite is the no bake strawberry cheesecake and I think it’s a little underrated compared to the chocolate one. Both are worth getting honestly.

Here’s my actual strategy… the pies come in mini sizes and I love to stop in and grab a few different ones to take with me. It’s the perfect way to try more than one and honestly having a little box of Leoda’s pies riding shotgun for the rest of your drive around West Maui feels very right.

For a full meal the food is hearty and really satisfying. The menu has that slightly elevated quality to it even though nothing about the setting is fancy, which I always appreciate. You’re not paying for atmosphere here, you’re paying for good food, and that’s exactly what you get.

Price-wise it’s very reasonable. A full meal and a couple of mini pies and you’re still not going to feel like you broke the bank, which on Maui is always a pleasant surprise.

If it’s not already on your West Maui itinerary… add it. You’ll be glad you did ; )

Want the full plan, not just this post?

If you’ve read this far, you’re probably actually planning a trip to Maui…not just daydreaming. So here’s the thing: what you just read is a small piece of what I know about this island.

I’ve been visiting Maui for years, and I put everything…the itineraries, the hotel breakdowns, the restaurants actually worth your time, the spots most visitors never find…into one guide. It’s 75+ pages, built around real day-by-day plans (not just a list of “things to do”), plus an interactive map so you’re not toggling between five browser tabs trying to piece your trip together.

It’s the guide I wish I’d had on my first few trips here.
