Leoda's Kitchen and Pie Shop

Overview

An Olowalu favorite right on the West Maui drive, Leoda’s is the stop for road‑trip comfort food done with care—think handmade pies and hearty sandwiches in a cozy, plantation‑era setting. It’s casual, quick, and an easy pull‑off as you cruise Honoapiʻilani Highway.

What to Order

Sweet pies are the star: recurring fan picks include banana cream, guava chiffon, chocolate haupia/mac nut, apple crumb, pineapple mac nut, and the tart Olowalu lime. If you want something more substantial, the kitchen turns out crowd‑pleasing sandwiches (Ahi, Reuben), fresh salads, and rotating specials. Expect mini pies around $10 and savory plates roughly $11–21.

Vibe & Amenities

Laid‑back and cozy with a moderate buzz; outdoor seating adds to the plantation charm (don’t be surprised if you spot a few roaming chickens). Practical perks for the drive: on‑site restrooms, takeout, and online ordering (minimum order applies). There’s a small, free lot shared with neighboring businesses—spots do open up, but you may need a few loops.

Best Time to Visit

Daily hours are typically 10:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. Lines swell late morning through mid‑afternoon; arrive near opening or late afternoon for the easiest experience. Late visits can mean slimmer selection as popular pies sell out. If you’re timing a sunset, grab pies mid‑morning and stash them for later.

Along the Drive

Leoda’s fits neatly into a south‑to‑north cruise: pick up pies in Olowalu, then hit nearby coastal pullouts for ocean views. In winter, the corridor is a prime spot for roadside whale spotting—another good reason to have dessert ready for an impromptu lookout stop.
