MauiTime Best of Maui 2007: Best Coffee Shop on Maui: Starbucks
BEST COFFEE SHOP Starbucks The best place to be seen sporting a double, half-caffe, three-pump, iced, white chocolate mocha with whip?

MauiTime Best of Maui 2007: Best Place to Buy Organic Quiche on Maui: Alive & Well
EDIT PICK BEST PLACE TO BUY ORGANIC QUICHE Alive & Well We’re a walking, talking oxymoron. We’ll pop a hydrocodone any day of the week (prescribed, of course!) but pesticide-laden milk? Hell no!

MauiTime Best of Maui 2007: Best Restaurant on Maui: Mama’s Fish House
BEST RESTAURANT Mama’s Fish House If it was good enough for land-owning giant Alexander & Baldwin back in late February 2006—company execs wined and dined five Maui County Council members there in a celebrated example of politico shmoozing that made both this paper and The Maui News—then this famous home of beach shack ambiance and […]

MauiTime Best of Maui 2007: Best Sandwich on Maui: Quizno’s
BEST SANDWICH Quizno’s Considering this is a corporate chain that used to run ads showing rodent-like Spongmonkeys, a dude sucking on a wolf teat and some guy eating a sandwich he fished out of a garbage can, Quizno’s does make a damn good sandwich. Our fave is the Au Jus with a French Dip on […]
