Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea introduced Pantry Maui by Madhappy, a premium café concept developed in collaboration with the resort’s culinary team. Marking Pantry’s first standalone location and Hawaii debut, the café combines specialty beverages, all-day dining, grab-and-go fare, and Maui-exclusive creations informed by local flavors and ingredients.
The beverage menu features premium coffee and ceremonial-grade matcha, including the exclusive 'Mango Sticky Rice Matcha Latte' and 'Banana Coconut Latte,' alongside Pantry’s signature sweet-cloud beverages. Meanwhile, food offerings include the 'Poi Coconut Crown,' layered with poi and coconut, and the 'South Side Açaí Bowl,' which incorporates pineapple, lychee, haupia, lilikoi, and other tropical ingredients.
Additionally, Pantry Maui offers house-made pastries, sandwiches, salads, wraps, smoothies, gelato, and sundaes. The café complements these offerings with locally produced juices, Hawaii-grown cacao chocolate, specialty coffee from Loquat, and matcha sourced from Nekohama.
