Menu / Ordering
With the crowds and demand, it is often best to order online.Though Alchemy Maui doesn't deliver food, it allows customers to order online and then pick it up in person, making it a perfect option for those looking to have their lunch while on the go or on Maui's gorgeous beaches nearby. But for those who plan to dine in, the restaurant recommends pre-ordering to avoid long wait times. Inside the restaurant, customers can also find self-order kiosks.
Fun Facts
Alchemy Maui has opened its doors to the public since 2019, with enthusiastic reviews from both locals and visitors alike. The Kombucha bar is also a popular spot for residents looking for something refreshing after work or between surf sessions at the nearby Baby Beach.
Despite its young age, Alchemy Maui has become increasingly popular in the past few months, with dozens of five-star reviews on Yelp and Trip Advisor. The restaurant's Instagram account has more than 10k followers.
"Great food and service. We loved the kombucha offerings. We also had some great fish tacos and a sourdough to go. The owner came out to chat and tell us the story of the brand," wrote a customer on Yelp.
On Trip Advisor, another customer was blunter about his visit: "They make the best sourdough bread and sandwiches, and I live in SF Bay Area. The Kombucha is off the charts good. We go to Alchemy every single time we are in Maui. We get sandwiches and 1-2 cases of Kombucha. It is one of my 5 favorite places to eat in the world. And the owner and staff are awesome. Best place in all of Maui.
The restaurant appears to have been named after the Alchemist, Paulo Coelho's best-selling novel about a shepherd who travels from Spain to Egypt searching for a treasure.
"To realize one's destiny is a person's only real obligation," reads a post on the restaurant's Instagram page, quoting the book. "Turn an ordinary Tuesday into some extraordinary," it adds.
