Makawao Maui HI - nice shopping!
If you're visiting Maui, or even if you live here, don't forget to do some browsing and shopping upcountry in the little town of Makawao. This cowboy inspired village has some unique attractions, not the least of which is the Komoda Bakery with their famous pies. There's plenty of art galleries and gift shops featuring island art and crafts. Need some cowboy boots or a leather jacket? If you're looking for some trendy clothing, check out the boutiques like Aloha Cowboy and Collections. Makawao is also the home of the famous Volcano Spice Company. When you get hungry or need a pick me up, there's coffee shops and restaurants of all kinds.
Makawao is upcountry and can be part of your Haleakala day out. It's a great way to spend the afternoon, if you're not in a big hurry. It's only about a 10 minute drive up the mountain from the beach town of Paia, up Baldwin Ave.. If you take the Haleakala Highway from Kahului, take a left when you get to Makawao Avenue (Hwy 400).
Fun and funky Makawao. I snapped all these pictures today on Baldwin Avenue as I was picking up some more Volcano Spice. No time for a Komoda pie today - and who needs those extra calories anyway? I hope you enjoy this little glimpse of shopping life in Makawao town.

Hello Georgina and these shots look real neat and fun!

Can I come stay at your house for a few weeks?
I so miss Maui!
So quaint. So beautiful. So much fun.
VB - thanks for your comment
Craig - how about the guest house? You'd better get your reservation in soon though.
Georgina, that does look like a fun place to go shopping!
Hello Georgina - Makawao looks like a great place to visit shop and live! Thanks for the tip and have a great day.
This looks like a place I would enjoy shopping at - I do not like the large malls!
Hi Georgina - this does look like a great place to go shopping, and love the western flair. I love the photo of the cow with the boots on!
Aloha Friday everyone and thanks for visiting my blog.
