Ono Gelato Company

Paia is a charming surf town on Maui's North Shore that is bustling with colorful characters and a laid-back island vibe. The brightly painted plantation style shops and cafés that line Baldwin Avenue offer an ecclectic assortment of styles and flavors for every personality. I was so happy to see that Ono Gelato Company opened its doors in the most convenient of locations last month at the intersection of Hana Highway and Baldwin Avenue. The café is super cute with crisp white walls and lime green benches ideal for people watching. And the gelato really is ono (delicious)! Be sure to try their nearly 30 unique Hawaiian flavors such as Maui Gold Pineapple, Lilikoi and Kula Strawberry. Their philosophy is one worth supporting, too: "We combine the fresh flavors of Hawaii with the traditions of Italy, to create a product that is all natural, organic, local, sustainable and ono!"  Yum!  xo Shaunna
