Reef Cafe
192 Maalaea Rd, Wailuku, HI
Crema's Take
“Nestled inside the Maui Ocean Center Aquarium, Reef Cafe is a lifesaver for visitors craving refreshment without leaving the park—serving up satisfying island fare like poke nachos and fish and chips alongside genuinely craveable house-made ice creams (the coconut pudding flavor is a standout). Their waterfront-facing patio and quick service make it the perfect spot to grab a cold mai tai or Dole Whip before heading back into the exhibits, though the casual vibe and decent prices come with occasional service hiccups.”

Very convenient store inside their Maui Ocean Center in Hawaii! You’re not allowed to bring food or drinks inside this Aquarium park, so having Reef Cafe inside saved lives! Thank you guys!
Wasn’t the best food and service is decent ! Told us before our order that they would give us 50% off and then after we order , they say they can only give 10% off! We order the most expensive food ! This misaligned info help them rip us off ! Suggestion: next time check with them asking : are you absolutely sure you will give us that discount ? double check with your manager plz!!! If you do not wanna get ripped off! Maybe it is a mistake! But it is very unprofessional!
Enjoyed a late lunch at this quaint cafe facing the waterfront. Ordered several $5 happy hour mai tai's, fish and chips, Mahi Mahi poke nachos, ranch island beef burger, vanilla milkshake and salsa and chips. All were delicious and our waitress was very attentive during our meal. Afterwards we continued touring the Maui Ocean Aquarium. A very fun afternoon.
Nice place to stop by when you are visiting the aquarium. Decent prices for food. Got our food quick and was able to enjoy it before we continued our walk through the rest of the aquarium.
They've got Dole Whip, which is a plus. But the real reason to come here is for the ice cream. That coconut pudding ice cream is legit, and the kona mud pie was the truth, too. Great place to stop in and treat yoself at the Maui Ocean Center. Like if you agree!
