Down to Earth Organic & Natural - Kahului

This was a wonderful surprise. Loved how many vegan options they had here. I wanted something to go as I was getting ready to leave the island. I got the tempe burger and it was delicious 😋. Highly recommend this place. Very reasonable prices too.

This store has so much organic goodness per square inch. It's not very large but it has a well thought out selection of quality foods, a good selection of supplements, and a nice personal care section. I don't eat dairy or gluten and I can always find what I need here. The take out bar has a great variety of vegetarian options. Genuinely friendly and helpful employees as well. A great place to shop on Maui.

Like the other reviewers, I do wish to have something like this locally. They have some cool products! All vegan options! The tofu musubi was yummy! Same with the rice, cheese and bean burrito. Açaí bowl was too sweet due to too much honey on top .

I love everything about this place, especially the cashiers, very friendly. Unfortunately some food. I cannot eat it because it's spicy. I hope they will do something about it. So I can go there all the time.

I've driven by this place so many times but never gave it much notice until my girlfriend said she wanted to stop by and grab some food. I tend to think of natural food stores as somewhat run down places. I was completely wrong this store was immaculately clean from top to bottom. Even the bathrooms are cleaner than most store restrooms. The store is wide open and not cramped which I like. There is also a second floor area for dining which is nice and quiet with plenty of windows to let in natural light and look at the mountains and skyline. The store clerks were very welcoming and answered our questions. I've been to many natural stores where the clerks were very rude and in some cases downright mean. I highly recommend stopping in to this store if you need a healthy bite to eat or some groceries. I'm not likely to shop here often but seeing how well they keep this location going, I would definitely be more open to stopping by on my way home from work and giving it some more tries to see if they have a lot of things I would be interested in. The store was well stocked and everything was easy to see!

The local workers have a huge smiles as soon as you come in & greet you by your name & genuinely talk & joke with you. They are so helpful & have a very cheerful vibes. I absolutely love the fresh made wrap & their Acai. The choice of products is excellent & very well organized. The view from upstairs is pleasant & it feels like a family home.

Vegan and plant based haven. Lots of healthy food options here just watch out for the righteous ego hippies.

Great store full of so many fresh, local, organic, and vegan options. The vegan options at the hot bar are great, and the staff are very friendly.

The best organic grocery shop in the WORLD. They also have an absolutely unreal organic cosmetics department with the best items and sourcing. Perhaps the widest selection of organic and clean beauty products I have ever found anywhere in the entire world. Everything is super yummy. You cannot go wrong. Staff are always really helpful and kind. They are diligent about waste and recycle boxes if you need to carry large bottles or heavy grocery hauls to your car. They used to make a raspberry chia pudding that I still dream about. Amazing kombucha and cold drink selection, it's like a heaven on a hot day! You can come here to find special local products that normally are only found or rarely found at farmers markets. If there is ever a zombie apocalypse, you can find me here.

I was happy to have discovered this local grocery on our recent trip to Maui. I had been looking for an alternative to the big chain we usually go to, to pick up groceries upon landing in Kahului and before heading to our accommodations. Helpful staff (I asked one of them about a banana variety I wasn't familiar with, and they were happy to oblige), good selection of organic, non-conventional products.

The food was great! If you are looking for a good vegetarian option, definitely try this place out! It's not a typical seat down restaurant, so if you are looking for dine in service, this would not be the option for you. You go to the hot/cold plate buffet area, fill up your containers with whatever you want, and at the cashier they weigh the food and charge you accordingly. They have an area upstairs that you can take your food and eat. Just keep in mind the food is not as cheap as you would expect it from a grocery store, but worth a try!

My favorite healthy snack / food stop! So many fresh options especially if you are vegetarian or vegan. Their smoothie/ juice bar is so good!! I am OBSESSED with their veggie and beyond burgers. They just make them perfect. I stop here a lot for their tofu or shrimp spring rolls also, SO GOOD. Not just a grocery store!!!!

We came here for the dinner, first meal for the island meal, and it was incredible to see all kinds of delicious foods! Great varieties and options in the food court! We were so hungry so we took good scoops of foods and food items that were prepaid in the plastic box! Price may be a bit higher end but it is a nice part of island experiences for sure! We enjoyed it! Keep up the good work! Cheers

I'm always excited to visit Down to Earth. There's always something new for me to discover. Or my usual favorites to pick up. Until next time. XOXO, ChelsieFletcher

Just had soup from the hot bar, great taste ! Great place to get healthy food and groceries

Every time we land in Maui we head to Down to Earth market. They have a great salad bar as well as a hot food bar. Only negative is that everything looks so good I end up choosing too much food. So good. In addition to a regular health market they have a juice bar and ready made vegan sandwiches. Upstairs they have tables and chairs to comfortably eat what you bought. We always feel energized after eating here and are ready for our vacation to start.

When you're driving by and wonder what the store has to offer vs other stores... All the things! Never have I ever been inside until my past trip. Wow is to say the least. Vegan amazing!!! The hot bar will blow you away and the to go section. If you can't find something, I don't believe you! Staff were super friendly! Very clean inside and well organized. Highly recommend!

Fresh food and flavorful. Every employee is joyful and friendly. Cashier was friendly and quick. The vibes in the store is overall friendly and happy.

- Excellent Deli where everything is made fresh! - Expensive,but cheaper than other alternative. - I tried their veggie burrito and milk shake and both were out of this world!

Unlike nearby Whole Foods Kahului, they have bulk foods in bins. This is the way to go to save! Love the always friendly staff. Their salad bar is awesome

Popped in for a quick lunch because I was curious what this store was like. I have passed it so many times but never put my head in the door. I managed to park right outside which was a plus as they don't have too many parking places for a supermarket. The store is well laid out and has a large range of vegan products, many I hadn't seen before, and quite a few I want to try. I chose a few items from the serve yourself hot bar and they were all OK, a little sweet for my liking, and all a little soft in texture. The chilli was good, the mushroom tofu noodles nice. None of it had much depth or savoury flavour. I went upstairs to their seating area and this is why I removed a star. It was dirty. Plain and simple. Dirty tables and floor. Flies crawling on the dirty windows. The walls were filthy. It was decidedly grubby and in need of repainting and cleaning. Very off putting :( I don't think I will eat anything here again because of this, but I will purchase goods from the store as they had a great selection. However they are very expensive so it won't be on a regular basis. I prefer Wholefoods as they are cleaner and cheaper. I know Down to Earth carries a lot of local goods and Wholefoods is corporate but the price point and cleanliness is a huge factor for me.

This is an awesome grocery store. They carry lots of local produce and local products. They have a nice salad bar with hot and cold foods, soups, and sandwich/smoothie bar as well. The Earth Burger is my favorite thing here. Excellent seating area upstairs.

If you are in Maui and you are taking a road trip on the island. This is a fantastic place to stop and grab snacks for the families since some places do not have readily available shops. Most of the produce here is organic. We grab some smoothies and, freshly squeezed juices for the family. Great selection and healthy stuff to support the local people instead of Amazon owned Whole Foods.

I found that supermarkets in Maui are great places to shop for, well, everything! Down to Earth Organic & Natural is very conveniently located in Kahului and close to a lot of the hotels, restaurants, Costco, the food truck lot. You can find necessities (sunscreen, shampoo, etc.), locally-made health and wellness items, souvenirs, etc. If you get tired of eating out, as most people do after a few days, they have a ready-to-eat food for sale too. They have fresh produce, drinks and snacks too so you don't have to overpay at your hotel's kiosk. They have a large free parking lot too.

Go here for the groceries but not the fruit bowls. I love that most of the produce is local, plus they carry many other food items that are locally made, which is a nice change from the big box natural foods stores. There is a large selection of ready to go meals and snacks plus a food bar, bulk section and take out counter so you can grab your groceries and dinner as well. If I was rating just the grocery and food bar which I used on the initial visit, I would give this a 5 star; but I returned to try an açaí bowl and was hugely disappointed. I ordered the warrior bowl minus the honey and have to say this was the worst bowl I have ever had - 1 star or even zero. The granola was stale, powdery and too sweet, as if it was a ground up cookie with hardly any oats and mostly flour. The almonds in the granola tasted like cardboard and ruined the whole bowl, plus due to kiosk ordering and the fact that the staff were busy in the back, there was no way to ask ahead of time if the granola was gluten free ( it is not), so I had to take an enzyme pill as I am gluten intolerant. Second issue: the fruit on top was skimpy and still a bit frozen so the whopping 4 banana slices and 3 strawberries were mushy. The blueberries were fresh. I would have thought that at least the bananas would be fresh since this crop can be grown locally.

ALWAYS the best service! The managers and staff go above and beyond in service to make me feel better about purchasing healthy foods here in Maui .

With limited vegan options on Maui, I frequent D2E's deli and food bar. It's a bit pricey... There were many a times my plate came out to $30 buuuut it also is enough for two meals so I guess it's ok? If you don't want to deal with the stress of weighted food, the deli has great unhealthy vegan items like spicy southern chicken sandwich, burgers and hot dogs. Also delicious. Then after I eat, I'll peruse the clearance items, stop myself from buying more frozen food bc my freezer can't take anymore and pick up some delicious drinks (probiotic soda! Rebbl mocha! Govinda juice!). I enjoy shopping here because it's less hectic than whole foods, staff is friendly, vegetarian food is better and parking is aplenty. Chee hee!

We found this place late in the evening. All of us hungry from just coming off Haleakala, one of us didn't have a vaccine card so dining in wasn't an option, Cousin mike won't eat meat, so a fast-food drive thru wasn't an option. it was just after 9pm and at the time all things closed at 10pm sharp. DTE was chosen by default, but we did find meals we all enjoyed and ate them just outside on tables out front. You can put together a tasty dinner with a beverage for under 20 bucks. I remember the kale Caesar salad being especially exceptional. I was talking to my cousin Mike about it the other day and he says he shops there all the time now.

Aloha friends! If you are into natural, sustainable, and organic living this is the place for you. Located on Dairy Road in Kahului proper--this was the first place I visited after I landed. They have everything you need and more as this specialty store is literally vegetarians and vegans paradise. Fresh foods, large freezer section, makeup, soaps, gifts, nutritional supplements, tissue paper, and overall great selection of local produce. It is much smaller than a Whole Foods; the staff were super friendly and a big mahalo to them. I had to stock up on some essentials. I also grabbed a vegan muffin and smoothie, which was delicious. Hot foods, coffee, and salad bar with mock chicken are among the other food items sold here. They have a down to earth burger and pizza made with wholesome ingredients that I look forward to trying next time--A taste of Hawaii right here in Hawaii. Everything screams plant based minus the name of the road. Parking is free and a rather large parking lot. I will be visiting again one day when I am back on Maui. preCOVID "Everyday can be a better day despite the challenge all you have to do is leave it better then you found it." FUN FACTS It started in Maui in 1977

Ate from the Hot/Cold Bar today - enchiladas and 3 bean chili was so ONO! Will be back!

This has been my go to market the start of the new year. The parking lot is not the easiest to get into. But once you do you'll find plenty of parking spaces. The past couple of times they were handing out samples. I must look like I'm hungry haha! They do have plenty vegan , gluten free options. A friend of mine mentioned cauliflower burgers on social media. So I was intrigued to try them out. They sell plethora frozen meals, bread, kombucha, eggplant pizzas. I like that they sell wide variety of different kombuchas. They also have hot bar section with pizzas, cookies, salads, pastas. The Deli sells açaí bowls and smoothies which I haven't tried yet. They have two places to enjoy your meal up stairs or outside. Also if you check event page they have cooking classes.

You'll find a nature made goodness all throughout this unique co-op style grocery store. They specialize in vegan and vegetarian foods sourced from Maui and through out the Hawaiian Islands. Think Whole Foods style goodness without the corporate connection. If you're in the mood for something hot, delicious and prepared well - try their hot counter or self service station. You'll find yourself lost in the beverage section for sure. Lots of selection to satiate.

Vegan heaven on the island of Maui. Sadly, this was one of the last places we visited on our vacation but I'm so glad we did. Think of it as a local Whole Foods in terms of price and grocery selection, but so much better. In addition to the deli and salad bar, the hot/cold bar is stocked with so much vegan goodness by the pound including mac salad (difficult to find a vegan version anywhere in Hawaii, but here it is!). All of the food for consumption is clearly marked as vegan (or vegetarian, or without any labeling, which means it is neither). Some things I tried: mac salad, tofu pad Thai, Okinawan purple sweet potatoes, bean/cheese enchiladas, potato salad and quite a lot more. Two things I tried that were not part of the food bar were the tofu musubi and Okinawan purple sweet potato bread--the latter of which I brought home to the mainland to enjoy the following morning, and both were excellent. Overall, everything I tried was extremely flavorful, fresh and hot. All worth it, and I regret not coming here sooner to try food from the deli. We were able to check out quickly with two registers being open, and the woman who helped us was very kind. The store as a whole appeared clean, well kept and well stocked. There were a few tables and chairs to sit and eat outside as well. If you're vegan and fresh off the plane with an appetite (and a rental car), do not hesitate to stop by--you will definitely not be disappointed!

Great selection. Love using the mobile app to order from the deli area. The southwest burrito is my fave. Love the celery ju8ce with a giner add on.

Lived on Maui most of my life, but only stepped into Down To Earth this year after needing specific items for an event that I was hosting. What I found within the store was quite a surprise. I'm probably the last person you'll ever find eating healthy, vegan, organic, etc. etc. but Down To Earth offers so much more than that. Yes, they have a good selection of healthy eats/ingredients from fresh local veggies, to organic goat's milk, to various grains. They got your kombucha, greek yogurts, ice cream, hot food selections, etc. etc... All your basics to cover your meals. What I was surprised to find in the the store were their large selection of hydroflasks, like an expansive rainbow of colors stretching across their back wall. They also have essential oils, himalayan salt lamps, artisan blue bottles, food containers, etc. I also believe I didn't see any meat byproducts in the store at all. Impressive! I was also surprised to find a good amount of their items were very competitive if not cheaper than a fellow big box health foods store down the road. Definitely check this store out for all your healthy eats and the random things I mentioned above :)

Was really disappointed the other night when we ordered the Makai bowl. I originally gave this place 5 stars but had to update it with this new review. Understandable that we're all still coping though this pandemic. Taking this into consideration I still feel that $9.99 for this bowl is a rip off. The bowl wasn't even filled like it used to be. If they're downsizing on portion sizes then they should also downsize the clear container size. It was filled up about a little over an inch high with the Blue spirulina sorbet. Then topped with the bananas, shredded coconut & chia seeds and bee pollen. There wasn't any coconut cream drizzled, like it says on the menu. I have to say it was delicious and refreshing hence the reason it got 2 stars. But not worth $9.99 I have ordered this bowl before and it was filled to the top in this same size container. For a better bang for your buck and better bowl altogether that is filled to the top, check out MoOno food truck across Costco Far better service too!

Great service! Happy to find this place because we were able to grab some made to order green juices from the juice bar. Expect to spend a lot here because you know these organic stores get but you get what you pay for! We stocked up on things here for our week long stay. The only thing was they don't carry eggs here whatsoever, I was annoyed but they said it goes against their sourcing principles which in turn I respect because you have to stick to your beliefs. They close at 10:30 too! There's a place upstairs and out in the front to eat too if you need it. They also have an assortment of ready made salads. I passed on the fruit because I saw a pound or organic grapes for $19.99 a pound and I just couldn't do it . There's a great assortment of grocery items if you're meatless, gluten-fee, vegan and such like. We will be back especially for the juice bar.

They are so amazingly wonderful! Really a super great health food store clean well designed with the customer in mind. The staff is super friendly always, so helpful and its incredible experience. They go way beyond the call of duty. Really they sacrifice so much in order to be a pure vegetarian store. But still with a great selection at the same time! In this day an age such a loss in the bottom line, is so selfless all to benefit mankind as they have for generations now, this is a heroic statement that is inconceivable goodness. May they thrive for generations to come! We go out of our way to shop their to help support their vision and mission as its organization like this who make a statement that will be heard into eternity!

I had an amazing smoothie! The staff there were very kind and helpful. The store was, also, neat and organized.

I like their fresh pressed juices and their amazing selection of vegan/gf items! The fresh made burrito is one of my go tos.

Ooooh, this a great place to get organic foods: including organic coffee from Hawaii. If you are visiting and you didn't bring your coffee grinder, you can grind your coffee here at the store. My favorite coffee is Hana Dark coffee, and my partner's fave is Paia Blend. I know it costs more than Costco's organic coffee, but there you have to buy 2 or 3 pounds...and buying the local organic coffee supports the local Hawaiian economy. They had a great selection of ripe papayas--some of them organic, and some non-gmo. They are so good! Also this store carries supplements. They have things like magnesium oil which I put on the bottoms of my feet before retiring to bed. Since I have been applying magnesium to the bottoms of my feet, I have only been awakened once from legs cramps. My partner said he likes seeing all of the long hair, 70's style hippy chicks he sees shopping there. And makes him smile and think about me when I was in my 20s. It is a fun place to shop and the staff is most helpful--taking you to what you ask for instead of just saying "it is on isle 3". You may pay a little more than the box stores but you get better service and local products.

The burgers here blew me away! There is pretty limited vegetarian option here on the island, so I didn't have high expectations for this one. But these were so tasty and packed full of fresh crispy veggies. They kind of reminded me of The Counter Burgers (California), just bigger, juicier, tastier, and you don't feel heavy afterwards. Oh and the tofu musubi was amazing! Even the rice is flavored

Indeed, it's the only Down to Earth location on Maui, but I almost always stop here at some point for some healthy snacks like blue corn chips, pastries, and their tofu musubi. There's usually enough parking in front of their store; if not, there are other stalls nearby within the plaza. Staff is pretty friendly and their shelves are well-stocked for the most part. And so are their overall prices, though with these kinds of health food stores, you have to expect somewhat higher prices.

Such a cool place--wish we had something like this locally back in the mainland. everything is vegan and they have mock EVERYTHING (ham, chicken, fish, etc) we ate here twice while we were in Maui. my husband got the Earth burger and absolutely loved it. I had the mock chicken sandwich and it was okay. the mediterranean panini was delicious and would eat definitely it again. the rice cheese and bean burrito from the value menu was pretty good! Overall, we love this place.

Down to Earth has been a favorite of ours for years! I just went in for the first time in a long time due to our family moving away to the mainland. I was enlightened to see that not much has changed, and if it has it's for the better! I've noticed a wider selection in their deli area. I was a fan of the mock chicken tofu sandwiches in the past, so this time I decided to try the mock chicken wrap. It was great and made with quality ingredients! I would say the only downside is the pricing. Although they're a smidge on the pricier side, you'll find that other health food stores on Maui, like Whole Foods and Mana Foods, are similar. This is an unfortunate truth for Maui and something we will have to get used to again. Even if it may be pricier, the clean store, friendly staff, and great selection of products and food make it all worth it!

Whoa I absolutely LOVED the smoothie I got from down to earth the other day as it was exactly what I needed to finish a long day! I was pleased how fast it was made when I ordered it and I will defiantly be back! The staff is wonderful and I love coming to down to earth each time I am on Maui!

Grossest food I've eaten in a long long time Ps. They don't serve meat so everything is mock

Waaaayyyyyyyyy to expensive. Bought a small loaf of sourdough Bread for almost $15.00 Dollars.. 30 years ago a loaf cost $2.00. You telling me you putting Gold flakes in your Flower today? You must think people are stupid or something. Go ahead and think I believe the prices went up because of Fuel Bla Bla Bla.. Never Again you liars... They are out of there mind...

Such good options for vegan food on the go! I recommend going early to cop the Tofu Musubi. We packed them up for our trip to Hana and it was the best road meal. The macaroni salad is so good too.

Some of the best vegetarian food on Maui. They don't do the rewards card anymore, and expect to pay about $20 at least on the hot bar, (if you're like me and like to load up), but so worth it every time. Delicious, fresh, flavorful options. Great curries, sweet potato options, even organic blueberry pancakes... So many great offerings. There are a few tables outside, but I just like to take a plate to go and picnic somewhere. Highly recommend everything!

Beautiful down-to-earth located right on the main drag! $9 organic acai bowls. And fantastic bacon habanero tortilla chips. Definitely recommended if you are a fancy pants. Otherwise I'd be happy spending half the price at Costco for their acai bowls. They have hot food and cold food available at per pound prices. Lots of parking. And even and upstairs dining area. Check it out if you're looking to eat healthy and have a thick wallet.

Great local health market with all the options. A bit pricier than Mana but bigger and more selection.

I'm sure this store is well-principled. They carry a great selection of brands, super friendly for veg/vegan folks. Some of the packaged foods did seem reasonably priced. I also know that Maui is expensive. However, it's highway robbery to charge $5 for a small container of white rice (just white rice - nothing special). Their soups are tasty, but even more expensive than Whole Foods. As a tourist, I won't be stopping there in the future.

We have been coming to Maui every year since 2004 sometimes twice a year and this is the first trip that we finally decided to stop and go in. Wow we have been missing out on a gem. They have great prices and all the health items you could want. From produce to bulk lotion. They have the best deli section with amazing Tempeh burgers and yummy açaí bowls and tasty freshly made juices and more. One tip is to order ahead because it definitely gets crowded at the counter because of the wait. It's that good!!!

Good place to stop from the airport before heading to kanappali . We took few sandwiches with pesto, avocado and feta cheese, all was good, you make order in the pos but need to pay at the cashier before collecting it....and any meat they offer is a vegetarian version ...so watch out :)

We found Down to Earth after fueling up en route to the airport. We decided it was worth the stop to try to avoid whatever options (limited or not) the airport may have and to try to find something on the healthier side. The store was big with great selection for vegetarians and vegans. It didn't take long for us to find the vegan sandwich bar inside. I opted for the Cold Cut Combo, which featured a mock turkey meat and vegan cheese. I don't always like the imitation stuff, but this tasted great. With the fixings (vegan mayo, mustard, bell peppers, lettuce, banana peppers, and black olives), this sandwich hit a lot cravings that hadn't been hit in a while. My partner opted for the sandwich. I loved my sandwich, by had a bit of envy of her's, too, which was packed with fresh avocado, sprouts, and a perfect balance of other toppings. We bought a bag of chips and found a nice spot to enjoy this upstairs, where there was a surprisingly large dining area. Our total cost was ~$20. For fresh, healthier food, not bad at all, and frankly a lot better than what we could've found at the airport. This is a great "hidden gem" if you need a faster, healthy option. Pro-tip: this would be a GREAT SPOT to stock up on essentials if you're here for vacation. For example: gallon jugs of bottled water were ~$1.25 here. At gas stations, the same jugs were $6+!

After a long day of traveling and not eating anything for over 12 hrs we wanted to eat something tasty healthy, and not too filling since we got dinner reservations. This local-cute organic supermarket is only 5 minutes away from the airport and it has a small buffet area where some one there serves the food you want, in addition to a deli department where you can get veggie burgers, wraps, tacos, etc and a juice bar. We got a few items from the buffet which consisted of a piece of lasagna for my hubby, vegan Thai curry, Tempe, and chicken tofu, everything was delicious and just what we needed. We also got a slice of vegan ube cheesecake and a cookie to take to our hotel. You can buy groceries and many other organic products but prices are higher than back home but that's to be expected when visiting Hawaii.
