We found Lorraine and her banana bread just by chance, we were so thankful! The Banana bread was amazingly moist and delicious! Lorraine offered us to go to the back of her place to eat the bread,relax and enjoy the wonderful view. She sat and talked with us for about 15 minutes before she had another customer and had to go but she was such a delight to talk to!.. Lorraine, thanks for you hospitality and conversation it really made our day!
hands down the best shaved ice i’ve ever had, lorraine is super nice we talked to her for a long time, she gave us aloe for our sunburn. the banana bread is absolutely amazing. would go to maui just to see lorraine again. the view from the back seating area is one of the best in maui.
We visited Lorraine's a few years ago. We were touring around the island and saw this place so we decided to stop. Boy, were we glad we did! Being Australian, we think that banana bread is an Aussie institution - you can't go any cafe without seeing this available on the menu for breakfasts. We were somewhat skeptical of the frozen chocolate coated banana bread treat. Honestly, I don't know why we don't do it here in Australia but this was amazing - totally delicious! A must try!
Going to Lorraine’s was like going to my grandma’s house. She was so sweet. She showed around her property, fed us some juicy starfruit and educated us on the “sleepy plant” she has around her house! We love her energy and her banana bread is fresh and amazingly warm. Sooo worth the drive!!! Oh and the shave ice was a cool down bonus!!Mahalo Lorraine for your hospitality!
Lorraine is a lovely lady. A must stop for road bikers as she'll refill your water for free. Excellent banana bread, sometimes mango bread and shave ice. She'll happily invite guests to chill with her on her awesome back deck. A must visit.Open every day except Wednesday due to the weekly Costco run. Typically 9 til 5 but no fixed hours. Don't bother her super early or in the evening. :-)
Awesome place, great service. All the treats (banana bread, shave ice, banana bread ice cream sandwich) are excellent. And the prices are very fair (and consistent). Also great views from the picnic tables out back. By far the best place to stop in Kahakuloa.
A Maui must stop. It’s nice drive up farther from Lahaina, with one huge part towards the end(we stopped at lorraines) that you have to put your Mahalo good spirit on and watch for cars and look for the pull outs for others. ??My friend has been bringing family and friends out here for years. I got the most fantastic, decadent lily Koi pie I’ve ever tasted. Well I’ve never tasted it so what an incredible first.We bought it for a gathering that was going to be in two days but it never made it there. She was right ?Lorraine came out back and talked with us for a while as we ate our shaved ice, enjoyed the Gorgeous surroundings, & contemplated diving into the banana bread that we’d also bought.She had the pie on ice for us for when we left & I already can’t wait to visit again.
Lorraine’s has best shaved ice on the planet. Her banana nut bread is to die for. We love to visit her every time we come to Maui. Be sure to make her part of your agenda. It is what Maui is all about. Aloha
Lorraine is great! The banana bread was wonderful, and Lorraine sat down with us to talk about the area. Definitely a great place to stop.
You MUST stop Lorraine is a beautiful soul who makes amazing food. She's a treasure ❤
