Nasturtium Café & Bakery
Nasturtium takes nourishing its clients so seriously that a mission statement is posted at the entrance. Only hormone-free animal proteins and organic produce are used to create soups, salads, sandwiches and wraps with a gourmet touch. The fresh island fish quesadilla with chevre and pineapple salsa is divine, as is the organic gingered macadamia-nut tart. It's between the 112- and 113-mile markers.

Cafe Laniakea
Chic and health-conscious, this café runs with an entirely different crowd than your average mess hall. Set in the courtyard at the historic Julia Morgan-designed YWCA, the café has a changing menu committed to local and organic (when possible) ingredients. And because Honolulu has never heard of pretension, the upscale meals are close to down-home prices.

Hana Ranch Restaurant Takeout
Busiest spot in town, and for good reason. Everybody comes for the mammoth burgers made of free-range Hana cattle - it doesn't get any fresher than this. Vegetarians aren't left out either; the taro burger offers a slice of Maui before ranching took hold. Good breakfast fare and plate lunches, too. Oh, and did we mention the ocean-view picnic tables?

'Ulupalakua Ranch Store
Opposite the 'Ulupalakua ranch headquarters, 5.5 miles south of Keokea, this store has a deli and lunchtime grill featuring the ranch's hormone-free beef and elk burgers. The store also sells cowboy hats and souvenir T-shirts. Say howdy to the life-sized wooden cowboys on the front porch carved by a former ranchhand.

Hana Café
You'll find a local crowd at this hidden gem set back from the road opposite Hana Ballpark. It's little more than a lunchwagon, but it serves café fare on par with Maui's finest, including organic salads, scrumptious carrot-coconut soup and foamy lattes. On Sunday there's homemade Thai food worth lining up for.

Flatbread Company
Wood-fired pizzas made with organic sauces, nitrate-free pepperoni, Kula onions - you'll never stop at a chain pizza house again. Lots of fun combinations, from vegan to kiawe-smoked ham and organic pineapples. Start with mesclun salad topped with Surfing Goat Dairy chevre - Maui-grown flavors at their finest!

South Kona Fruit Stand
This cute fruit stand is more like a fruit boutique - don't miss it. It sells both its own and other farms' organic produce, and has a bar blending all sorts of heavenly tropical smoothies. It's on the mauka side between the 103- and 104-mile markers.

Marie's Organic Café
In the same complex as Planet Hollywood, this health-food store has a small café for organic veggie sandwiches, salads and wraps. The green barley mousse with a dab of azuki paste is both a dessert and an oddity.

Town
Laid-back locavores love the Mediterranean-inspired cuisine at Town. Leave your attitude at the door, be patient (it helps), and enjoy coffee-shop gourmet with the occasional Lost cast member.
