Customer Reviews

Tiny food truck serving some great vegan donuts! Although they are cake donuts, they are still pretty light and easy to eat. On the smaller side (so feel free to share a couple) and custom made to order... They are served hot with your choice of a handful of glazes and toppings. Friendly service. Large shared free parking lot.

Best vegan donuts!!! These Maui delights are a MUST try when in the Kihei area. Order ahead to enjoy an early, warm and delicious treat to start your day ??. We tried the Favorite 5 box and everything was fresh and tasted heavenly. My favorite is the chocolate mac-nut. At pickup, we got to see the donuts being made (a bonus ??).

You don?t come here for the atmosphere, it?s a food truck in a parking lot, but if you want the best cake donuts you?ve ever had. This is 100% the place. If you?re a fan of glazed raised soft squishy donuts this probably isn?t your jam, but in terms of cake donuts they don?t come any better. They?re made to order. Come out hot with a crispy exterior and a soft sweet interior. I get them with just powdered sugar, but there?s plenty of toppings to be offered. You certainly don?t want to miss this place. I?ve

These made to order donuts were super delicious! We were looking for a storefront but it is actually a little food trailer. So if you can?t immediately find it, just keep driving around the building. My only complaint is they?re pretty small for the price.

Donuts made to order with so many options. We got - plain with churro - chocolate glazed - strawberry glazed with churro They were well dressed and so warm! Slightly more dense than a yeast donut. These cake donuts weren't dry, and they weren't too dense. Best vegan donuts I've ever had!

Ordered strawberry/oreo and maple/churro. So delicious. So crispy despite the glaze and toppings!!! Custom donut pairings (glaze/topping) is such a fun option!

Amazing vegan and gluten free donuts! For the gluten free, you need to order in advance. I ordered the night before for a 7 AM pickup, and when I got there they were nice and warm. Both the flavor and consistency are on point. Had the maple and strawberry flavors, highly recommend!

We tried 4 glazes, including the monthly option, and all were ono! These vegan donuts were wonderful. And sprinkles are always welcome. Go early so you don?t miss out.

Found this gem on Tik Tok as a MUST DO and honestly, I agree. Two locations but I chose the darling little food truck location at the Maui Nui Golf Course. Met the owner, Will, a very cool dude .Donuts are made fresh to order and were so good I had to go back and get some for the Fam. This is five star all the way.

I don?t usually leave google reviews, but this donut shop was absolutely amazing! These were the best donuts I?ve ever had, and starting my day with them was such a delight in Maui :) My favorite was the vanilla oreo, and I?ll definitely come back to have these donuts again!

Delicious gluten-free donuts. You have to order ahead for them? Website doesn?t make that super clear. Picked them up at 7am; they were still warm!

Really amazing food truck. The donuts are the cake kind, so they are a nice fluffy bite! And the different flavors are all making. We got the ?favorite five? to try and the strawberry sprinkles was a surprise favorite of ours! Definitely need to make a trip to pick some of these up if you are in the area!

Delicious, made-to-order donuts! By far the best I've had on Maui and frankly better than most of the donuts I've had throughout the United States (including some amazing mochi donuts). The presentation is fantastic, and the service was excellent! Will definitely be back my next time on island!

I?ve been missing donuts ever since going fully gluten free many years ago (I have a sensitivity), so I absolutely wanted to try the GF donuts at Maui Ono. I am beyond pleased and impressed! They?ve truly mastered making a GF donut that tastes just like the real thing. They require gluten free orders to be placed with 8 hours notice to prevent any cross contamination which is so kind of them to take that extra step. Amazing donuts and fantastic staff! 100% recommend!

This donut was so good! The macadamia nuts on top, added another flair to it. We also had their iced coffee, it was so refreshing and tasty.

Best donut I?ve ever had in my entire life!! And I?m not usually a cake donut fan. I wish I could eat these every day for the rest of forever.

If you?re looking for the best plant-based doughnuts on Maui, Maui Ono Donuts is a must-try! We ordered a large box of 12 doughnuts, and every bite was amazing. Our box included gluten-free options like the chocolate, maple-churro, macadamia-chocolate, maple, pumpkin-spice, churro, strawberry rainbow, and vanilla doughnuts?all of which were absolutely delicious! The flavors are creative and capture the tropical essence of Hawaii perfectly. What makes Maui Ono Donuts stand out, aside from their whimsical an

The best donuts we?ve ever had! Freshly made to order and worth the couple minutes wait. We got the maple churro and chocolate macadamia nut and they were both phenomenal. Wish we had time to go back again before heading home!

One of the best donuts we?ve ever had. They were so good we came back 3 different days. The guys who run it are super nice too. They should definitely consider a coconut topping.

I'm not big on donuts. Not really my thing. BUT these are incredible!! I cannot resist them. Every kind you get is just the best thing you'll eat that day.

Best donuts I have ever eaten & they are vegan!! We loved them so much we had to come back a second time. They were still warm when I picked them up and the crunchiness was my favorite part. I got a variety of flavor combinations on our first visit. They were all really tasty but my favorite is just a plain donut topped in sugar. Soooo good!

I love the locations heard great things about them. Drove from Lahaina, I ordered a dozen donuts. Drove back to Lahaina and took my first bite... they were doughy, under cooked. I cant believe I just paid $40 for a dozen under cooked donuts.

Stopped by this cute little stand in search of good donuts and we were not disappointed! All the donuts are cake donuts and are custom made to order. We tried the Favorite 5 though and loved them! They were served hot, fresh, and quick! Will be coming here more!

Soooo yummy! Wife and 4 kids loved them! Best donuts we have ever had in our lives! She was very nice!

Legitimately the best donuts we?ve ever eaten, anywhere; these are served warm, crispy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside, and not overly-sweet. My 12-years-gluten-allergic wife absolutely loved her GF donuts (although we had to order ahead of time), and was quoted, ?The best gluten-free donut I?ve ever had. Period.? 100% worth the price. I?d weigh ten more pounds if I lived nearby a Maui Ono Donuts, easily. Try them all.

These are the best donuts I've ever tasted in my life! I'm not even a big fan of donuts. They're not something I really go out of my way to get but the reviews had me curious and let me tell you this place did not disappoint! If you're in Maui this is a must try! 10/10 would recommend all day

Best cake donut I've ever had in my entire life. Crispy outside. Good slight crunch. Soft cakey inside that is slightly chewy and not too dense! Flavors were fantastic not too sweet... Just so you could eat more.

Best gluten free donuts I?ve ever had!!! Order a day or two in advance to make sure it?s ready when you come. Super nice owners - definitely check this place out.

Best doughnuts ever!!! I have celiac disease and I?m always on the hunt for GF donuts because they?re so hard to find. Look no further than Maui Ono Donuts!!! My husband who had the regular donuts also said they were the best he has ever had. The owner is also incredibly kind and we can?t wait to come back.

We ordered gluten free donuts here twice while visiting Maui! They were so tasty and fresh. Just make sure to book online ahead of time for pick up. I have Celiac Disease and had zero issues. They're also vegan! Highly recommend this local small business. They're super friendly too!

These have got to be the best donuts i?ve EVER HAD. Made on the spot, you get to pick the frosting and the toppings. That?s what I like about places like this. Other places, you just go in and buy what?s already made, and sometimes they may not be too fresh. My personal favorite was Vanilla Oreo. Another one that we ordered was Maple Churro. That looked good too. They also gave us an extra 6th one on the house. A good mess up to give us an extra. The guys who make the donuts are pretty chill and amazing. E

It?s so hard to find good dairy free donuts, but look no further! These were delicious, served hot and fresh.

Not very hygienic. Touched the food with bare hands after taking money. My son got sick in the parking lot before driving off. He was sick all day. Went to Krispy Kreme the remainder of the trip.

The reviews don?t lie. The best donut spot in Maui! I strongly suggest trying maple+churro donut. The ladies were super nice. Provided great service and conversation. The only downside was discovering she?s a Green Bay Packer fan. Haha.

wow these donuts are incredible especially the vegan onces! Unique texture, not like your average donut. The whole experience was so cool and authentic - from location to chatting with the owner who told us about his story and how the donuts are made. I hope to see them in other locations in Hawaii and the mainland.

Delicious, warm, fresh, freaktacularly fantastical in so many ways. FLUFFY cake donuts?!?! They are insane. We have eaten vegan donuts in 10+ different countries and states at this point. Let's be honest, vegan cake donuts are dry and either flavorless or sickeningly sweet. However, the peeps at Maui Ono, know what they are doing. They are the DaVinci's of Donuts when it comes to texture and flavor. Our only complaints is they don't have more. I would easily invest in a full Maui Ono bakery that makes 12+

Best cake donuts we?ve had since being vegan. Definitely a must try if you are a donut lover.

Amazing doughnuts from a tiny food truck, wow!! Crew is filled with aloha start to finish. This isn't your traditional donut shop, they make them fresh when ordered and the types are minimal yet impactful. White cake type of donut (I think gluten free??), Vanilla, strawberry, maple or chocolate glaze and you can add different toppings, like macadamia nuts, sprinkles, Oreo cookies. They are very expressive for donuts, but it's a unique delicacy type of thing and there aren't really many options in Kihei so

I ordered these for my wedding brunch and am so happy I did! These are hands down the most delicious donuts I've ever had. Light and fluffy while also decadent. I ordered some gluten free for my Mom and she agreed that they were the best. Honestly a must have!

YES! It's definitely acceptable to have 5 donuts for brunch!!! On top of that, YES, everything is VEGAN! I chose the Favorite Five option and all of them were delicious.

Came out fresh and warm. I highly recommend the chocolate macadamia nut and the maple donut with churro as well as a plan with sugar dust. The bottom of the donuts had a delightful crisp edge.

These donuts are GOOOOOD! So good that we went three times during our stay. I was so pleasantly surprised to find vegan donuts within a mile of our Airbnb. I can?t recall ever going to a donut place like this where the donuts were made to order, but it really makes all the difference! My favorite flavor combo was the strawberry and Mac nut. Highly highly recommend!

What a nice surprise to find this little donut truck in a strip mall in Kihei! It was very unassuming and quiet when we went on a Friday morning, but we are so glad we stopped in. We tried the "5 favourites" box and they were spectacular. The donuts were hot (made to order) and the texture was the perfect mix of crunchy, fluffy and soft. They tasted amazing and all of the fillings were complementary to the donut itself. Service was also really quick despite these being made to order. We also got an iced co

Tucked back in a parking lot this cute little food truck serves the most expensive incredibly average donuts I?ve ever had. For $10.00 for two small donuts I was very underwhelmed. The guy working was super friendly and helpful.

Even if you don't normally like donuts, this one is worth it: freshly made, firm, browned dough, classic, perfectly balanced toppings. A must try.

Cute, perfectly small, and yummy donuts from an incredibly nice guy! Loved the customization! We got a Vanilla Oreo and a Maple Churro - so good!

We found this place by accident after we had set out for a morning of surfing. There were no waves so my daughter suggested we get a little treat before heading back to our condo. We pulled up and decided to order from their suggested menu and got two strawberry with sprinkles, a chocolate oreo and a chocolate mac nut. We also got an iced coffee and an iced green tea. The guys were great, chatted with us for a bit and were super quick with our order! Our donuts were nice and hot when we got them!

I pride myself on being fat? these made my belly very happy! We got the maple churro and maple macadamia nut and love them. You should try getting maple churro macadamia nut it may or may not rock your world. Lots of parking and very easy to get in and out.

Listen to me. Get your butt in your car and get here. The best donuts I've had ever. The maple glaze with churro sprinkle is by far the greatest combo. This place deserves 10 stars. The donuts speak for themselves. Huge fan.

The owners of this donut food truck are incredibly nice and these donuts were legit the best I?ve ever had. Our first time there, I didn?t realize all of the donuts were vegan and was super stoked when I learned that they were! One of the owners and I had a fun, friendly convo and we got a Favorite Five box. The donuts were insane. They were crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and were hot and literally just made. We of course came back another morning to grab another Favorite Five. Wish I

Maui Ono Donut has the best Vegan cake donuts! I highly recommend you try this place, vegan or not. The donuts are made fresh to order and worth the wait. There's no place to sit but there's grass nearby, and make sure to grab a napkin because they're gooey. The chocolate with macadamia nuts was my favorite and vanilla Oreo was delicious too. The maple is good too. The strawberry didn't really taste like strawberry but that's ok. The coffee is super good too! Gracias! ??

Amazingly textured fresh donuts with a fluffy top and crunchy bottom that is only describable with "Mmmmmm" delicious! The toppings are build your own, or you can get the Fave 5/12 box for a preset tasting flight of donuts! Our favourites were the Churro and Maple toppings, as well as the chocolate and macadamia. We will come back to try our hand in creating our own combinations!

Worth the hype. Some of the best donuts I've had ? and not just because I was on vacation on Maui. Small and made fresh with a unique cakey crisp to them. Pre-ordered a handful of gluten frees and was told they were incredible. Wish I had one of these back home! Note: this is a food truck location in a strip mall parking lot.

Finally eggless Donut's. Yayyyyyyyyy. Must visit to enjoy the amazing delicious donuts when in Maui. Kids were super happy and excited in the morning and we all enjoyed the donuts. Since we are vegetarian and don't eat eggs, this worked out great for us. They taste really yummy. Best is they are made FRESH and Choices of toppings make it more amazing.

The BEST gluten free donuts we?ve had (and we?ve tried a lot across the mainland). They taste like funnel cake. They are the closest to real (gluten filled) donuts I?ve tasted! Such an accommodating company as well!! Worth the order ahead!!

Craved Donuts on our 5th day in Maui so randomly Doordashed without reading reviews or what this place was about. Came to us fresh and we were really surprised to eat the whole dozen between 4 of us in one seating.. Really good melt in your mouth donuts with a great assortment of flavors that are not too sweet. Then came the surprise as we had to know more about the place - boom! Vegan. Donuts. ???????? thanks for rocking my world and for teaching my family that vegan versions of food aren't all that bad.

I have Celiac Disease. These GF donuts are perfection. Moist, fluffy, the perfect level of density for a cake donut. Staff take special care to ensure no cross-contamination. I LOVE Maui Ono Donuts ??

Best Gluten-free donuts, worldwide. An amazing Maui experience! Add it to your top 10 to do list in Kihei.

Fun little donut truck. Pick your glaze and topping. Donuts were good, not amazing though. Tried a maple glazed (no topping) and a vanilla glazed with Oreo. Definitely worth trying.

Definitely one of the best donuts I?ve had anywhere! Fresh, hot, and flavorful. I love that you have the choice to build your own combination. The donut was crunchy on the outside and so soft and warm inside. Quiet little stand with super fast service.

Delicious, made to order! They were very hot and melted in your mouth. We got the fav 5 and recommend it!

We LOVE this place. Went 3 times during our stay on Maui. I asked if they ever did a coconut glaze and they said ?if you come back tomorrow we will make that the glaze of the day!? So nice and of course we HAD TO GO BACK! It did not disappoint!

For my gluten-free dairy-free people this was a great little place to grab some donuts while on vacation! You can order to go and pick them up. Try the chocolate macadamia nut ones, they where my absolute favorite

Super delicious vegan donuts. We ordered the ?favorite five? and loved all of them!! My favorite: Maple & churro ??

Most amazing donuts I have ever eaten anywhere. They aren?t super sweet?just perfect.

The donuts were as amazing as every reviews says but the coffee was also five stars! Skip the Starbucks and grab your coffee here!

The donuts are made fresh once you order them, so they came out hot and fresh. Worth the wait.

Fabulous gf and df donuts. Make sure you order ahead !

On vacation in Maui, we decided to stop by for a donut on our last day. We learned they were sold out except for one last "Favorite Five" pack which we were delighted to try! Oh my goodness, what a treat! Highly recommend. The chocolate macnut was my fave. Mahalo!

Delicious donuts made fresh to order. Takes just a few minutes and totally worth it. Just a dollar extra for a great cup of coffee to go with your donut too! Nice young couple who run the shop, worth checking out for sure!

Delicious vegan donuts that are cake based (my wife hates yeast donuts) that are easy to order and customize. Crushed a 6 pack by myself in two days and had no regerts (lol) - intended on going back again before we left for Maui but had to cut the trip shorter than expected. I will however be visiting them the next time I step foot on the island.

The BEST vegan donuts ever!!! Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much!

Best donuts ever in Maui. They are really soft and fluffy and made from scratch. Before I left the island, I was tempted to order a dozen to take home, but knowing myself I would have eaten all on the plane ride home.

Donuts were fantastic, outside was nice and crisp and inside was cakey, all flavors were great , price was quite steep but still great

You NEED to go here! These were some of the best donuts I have ever had. Nice and crispy on the outside, and they had so many delicious flavors. You don't want to miss out on these donuts.

These were hands down the best fresh old-fashioned donuts I've had in a while! was also surprised to find out these donuts were vegan. If you would've put these next to a "regular" old-fashioned donuts, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference other than these were better!

Is it dramatic to say I cried the first time I ate a Maui Ono doughnut? 2 orders and 24 gluten free doughnuts later, I'll probably miss these doughnuts more than the beautiful island of Maui. If you're gluten free, this is the one thing on the island that you MUST do. Order the night before, pick them up in the morning, and enjoy the best tasting gf doughnut you've ever had.

Made to order, in a small trailer in the parking lot. UNREAL how great they are! The maple + cinnamon is a must, but don?t sleep on chocolate with Oreo. That might be the best donut I have ever had.

May be the best donuts I?ve ever had. Made to order

Its a mistake if you dont try these donuts!!!! Hands down way better than Krispy Kreme donuts. I cant believe I just found out about this place but you?ll thank me later for it. The owners are super nice and the flavors go crazy! ????

These donuts leave no hole in your appetite! Donuts were fresh, warm, and crisp. The owner was kind and helpful, and made great conversation. Highly recommend the maple churro.

Great donut place. Each donut is handmade and freshly fried per order. I highly recommend any of the maple donuts. The owner was super nice and explained the history of the business while making the donuts. Location could be better, but it is worth stopping by the parking lot to get a unique and delicious treat. Its I'd avoid the coffee as it was just a Keurig machine.

Husband was luck enough to get a fresh out the fryer maple glazed. Highest recommendation from this foodie. Owner is obsessed with freshness. Pro tip: Gluten free? Order online a day ahead of time and they will make a gluten free batch before any others to reduce cross contamination. Pick up at any shop where the they sell Maui Ono (Kraken Coffee and Akamai Coffee Co) or at their adorable stand.

This is my wife and I's go-to spot for our Saturday morning donuts. These will be the best damn donuts you've ever had, guaranteed. Also, you can eat a boatload of them without getting that sickish feeling afterward, which benefits my life enormously!

Absolutely awesome. Donuts are made to order, and gluten free options are really good! Always love stopping in!

Best gluten free donuts ever. Ordered them online and picked up fresh donuts. They were amazing. Gluten free are only available on certain days and they need to be ordered ahead of time to make so check it out. Sooo good. Wish I had asked about what kind of oil they used, there was a little crunch on the outside and sooo tender inside. Yum!

Great donuts! The donuts were delicious. The service was super fast! this little shop is super cute and is definitely somewhere you should consider going to to eat some yummy food/coffee!

Best donuts I've ever enjoyed. Healthy and delicious! 5 flavors, so just order the "5".
