What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Island Gourmet Markets is praised as a convenient, well-stocked store offering a surprisingly good selection of fresh food, particularly poke bowls and deli items. While many appreciate the quality and variety, some reviews note issues with the poke being too salty or burgers being dry. The market's ability to combine grocery, gift shop, and deli services makes it a unique and popular stop for both locals and tourists.
"If you’re looking for a well-stocked grocery store and gift shop in Wailea, Maui, Island Gourmet Markets is the perfect place to visit. This store has everything you could possibly need, whether you’re shopping for essentials, grabbing a quick bite, or picking up souvenirs for friends and family back home. Island Gourmet Markets offers a wide variety of items, from T-shirts, hats, and luggage to fresh groceries, snacks, and an impressive selection of sushi and sashimi to-go. It has all the convenience of an ABC Store, but with the added benefit of a full grocery store experience. One of the highlights of shopping here is the fresh fruit selection—bursting with vibrant colors of red, green, and yellow. The abundance of pineapples is particularly impressive, as you’ll see in my pictures. Beyond the selection, the store is clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate. If you’re staying in the Wailea area and need a quick grocery run or want to grab a delicious meal within walking distance of your hotel, Island Gourmet Markets is definitely worth a stop."

"ABC Store's fancy schmancy location is at The Shops of Wailea at the north end.
ATMOSPHERE:
The store is clean and organized. It's like a supermarket and sundry store in one, selling all the usual groceries including snacks, drinks, clothing, beer, wines, and liquors. They also sport a fresh meat & seafood department with a butcher, fresh sushi that's made in-house, a coffee bar, and a small gelato bar. Of course my favorite is the deli that sells sandwiches, burgers, donburi bowls, and even local-style bento lunches.
FOOD:
Swiss Mushroom Burger
IMO, the best version on the rock. Everything was moist and juicy; the bun, grilled onions & mushrooms, the patty... Melt in your mouth goodness. And mayo was already spread on the bun... Yes! Are they mind readers?? I asked for curly fries but ended up with thick-cut ones, which were still good. I asked for no veggies except for a pickle but received tomatoes and lettuce. It's a good sized burger for the price. Grab lots of napkins because you're gonna need them! Holla!
Bowtie Chicken Caesar Pack
These delicious little bundles of joy are stocked in the refrige below the deli counter. Bowtie pasta tossed with black olives, sliced chicken breast, and parmesan cheese in a creamy caesar dressing with a tease of shredded romaine on top. The perfect app and affordable.
SERVICE:
Everyone was friendly, helpful, greets and thanks you. The deli girls taking orders or cooks need to listen and read tickets better. The cashier was super smiley and welcoming.
OVERALL:
Really good burgers at great prices, excellent service."

"Great place for local foods and snacks. However, the poke is very salty. The burger was very dry and kind of thrown together. The Dubai Chocolate Strawberry cup is indulgent (and pricey) - delicious!!"

Shops at Wailea in Maui - Shopping
This elegant high-end mall mainly features luxury brands (Prada, Tiffany & Co., Gucci), but some less well-known gems are hidden amid the complex’s 50-odd shops. Martin & MacArthur (martinandmacarthur.com; tel 808/891-8844) sells luminous, curly koa bowls and keepsake boxes—or you could bring home a beautiful handmade Hawaiian musical instrument from Mele Ukulele (www.meleukulele.com; tel 808/879-6353). The mall is home to several good restaurants—including “Top Chef” fan favorite Sheldon Simeon’s Lineage and the Island Gourmet Markets (tel 808/874-5055)—that offer affordable options for breakfast and lunch: everything from pastries to sushi, burgers, sandwiches, and gelato.

One of the most anticipated events of the summer, and a part of the annual Maui Film Festival, Taste of Wailea also includes access to the Film Fest’s Celestial Cinema that same evening. Guests 21 and over are invited to enjoy creations from the island’s best and most acclaimed chefs, with amazing food, an open bar, and live music entertainment with a gorgeous view of South Maui. Buy tickets early, as this event almost always sells out!

Best 10 Places to Eat in Wailea. Hawaii has some of the most incredible… | by Maggie Salerno
Starting off simple yet strong the Fresh Poke Bowls from Island Gourmet Market are some of my favorite across the island. The Spicy Ahi Poke is perfect for those who want the rich umami spice sitting upon a bed of fluffy white sticky rice. My personal favorite is the Hawaiian Ahi Poke Bowl being topped with Limu and Furikake Seasoning, and that goes great with Organic Lime Chips of any variety.

Island Gourmet Market is part grocery store, part souvenir and tourist essentials shop (Forgot to pack reef-safe sunscreen? Island Gourmet’s got you covered). And at the back, past aisles of chocolate macadamia nuts and insulated tote bags, is a hungry person’s escape from fancy resort fare — Island Gourmet Kitchen. What they serve: Hearty plate lunches and sides for takeaway.
Everything We Ate on Maui
Island Gourmet Markets on Maui is found at The Shops at Wailea. If you’re staying at the hotels in the Wailea area, odds are this is pretty walkable or your resort may have a house car that will take you here. We came here twice, both times while we were staying at the Grand Wailea (about a 10 minute walk).
Where to Eat in Wailea
At the Island Gourmet Market inside the Shops at Wailea, you can find breakfast, chili and rice for a filling lunch, açaí bowls that provide a little health, and poke bowls for a fish power lunch. There’s a coffee shop inside the store as well as a decent wine selection.

The week-long event also shines the spotlight on local chefs and culinarians with its star-studded opening soiree, Taste of Wailea, and Taste of Chocolate.
