| | I love this place. Such a great stop on the way into
town they have great food, nice people and good
recommedations for places to see on the island. Try the
tropical smoothie- so so good- and the bread is a must. | Erin, Dec 15, 2009 |
| | Wow! Why is this place not in ALL of the guidebooks? I
have never had banana bread like this before. I bought
one loaf and one smoothie, and we went on to the black
sand beach. We ate the whole thing before we even hit
the beach! We came back and bought 5 more loaves to
keep with us for the rest of the trip (one of each
flavor!). I am just so amazed that an operation like
this is even happening out in the middle of the jungle.
It is like Mrs. Fields of the jungle! I even am in the
process now of looking online to see if I can order the
bread- which is how I stumbled upon this page. I never
write reviews on anything- but this place takes the
cake (no punn intended). If anyone here that reads this
has any more information about how to contact this farm
stand, or a website, or ordering information. It would
be lucrative to even see if they were interested in an
investor to get the bread out there- it is a one of a
kind taste experience. So- any info is greatly
appreciated. Or, if anyone is headed to Maui, I will
pay you an extra $20.00 to ship us 20 loaves to
Washington, and pay for the shipping costs of course.

| | We had the fortune of stopping at Hana Farms. It really
was a wondeful highlight of the drive. The people there
were so sweet, and taught us so much about the area,
the culture, and all of the exotic fruits and flowers.
It is worth stopping just for the samples- we got free
samples of fruit, home-made banana bread fresh out of
the oven, coconut candy, macadamia nut candy, and
home-made tropical jams. The bread does live up to
it's awards. Great place to take the kids- arrive
hungry! | Virginia, Sept 24, 2009 |
| | Oh my GOD! Thank you for posting about this stand. You
are right, there are a lot of stands on the road, so we
may have missed this one if it wasn;t for the photo
posted. We had some friends tell us to stop here as
well, but they didn't have a photo- so really
thanks for posting! This place was the best! I have
never had better banana bread in my life, and they had
home-made ice-cream- we tried macadamia nut toffee with
fresh chocolate and toasted coconut with their
home-grown vanilla bean. It was beyond delicious. We
took your advice and bought 12 loaves so that we could
share with all of our friends back home. We just froze
the loaves in the freezer of our hotel room, and put
them in a cooler for the flight, and they held up
great. My favorite way to re-heat them is to just stick
them in the oven to bake them for 5 minutes, or we even
made the best banana bread french toast with the plain
and macadamia nut variety. Does anyone know if there is
a way to order the bread? It is really that good. And
the girls working at the stand were so helpful and
sweet, even taking time to make sure that we knew where
the best sites to see were, and best snorkling on the
island. definitely worth a stop- and tell them that

| | I second that. It is sad that so many people had to
follow the success of this one stand. One guy even
opened a stand just 1/2 a block BEFORE this stand
advertising BANANA BREAD that he buys at COSTCO. Sad,
because I too watched this little stand grow from
nothing, over the past 3 years. They also do a lot to
help the local economy by purchasing ONLY fruit from
Hana, and they turn in into other great products like
the amazing ice cream and hot-sauce. I love this place.
My family comes to Maui every 6 months and I will
recommend this as one of the best places for food and
gifts! The bread is really the best you will ever
taste. Make sure to grab a hot loaf:) | James, March 18, 2009 |
| | We had the delight of stopping at this little road side
stand nearly 2 years ago, and just went back for a
visit this past Christmas....and WOW! It has really
come into it's own. They were the only banana bread
stand on the whole road the last time we visited- and
they must have begun a trend, because I think we
counted more than 7 banana bread stands on the road
now. We did stop and try a couple of others, but none
came close to the quality of the Hana Farms bread. They
should advertise how fresh it is, they bring loafs out
of the oven every hour- so it is common to get fresh
hot loafs of bread. We bought 10 loafs to bring back
with us, and froze them in our hotel room, and they
held up just great on the plane ride all the way back
to Ohio. We just take a loaf out of the freezer, and
slice off a few slices, and pop them into the toaster
oven, and they wow all of our guests every time. The
people at the stand in Hana were very nice as well, and
the other note-worthy products were the great coffee,
ice-cream, and the hana-apple-banana-butter. Very
delicious. I reccommend this stand to all of my friends
and family, certainly worth the stop. | Jamal, Feb 08, 2009 |
