So good to know some sweet treats are just 10 min away. Thank goodness my nephew told me about this place. My husband got the Kona Mocha and I got the Maui Sunrise. The Kona Mocha is like a coffee smoothie. Not overly sweet or too bitter. Perfect blend of ice, coffee choc and sweet cream. The Maui Sunrise was sooooo good! Unlike other shave ice spots, their prices are very reasonable AND they don't skimp on the flavored syrup. The yummy flavors went all the way down to the ice cream. Can't wait to try their other goodies!

Beyond the mind-blowing flavors and giant gourmet cookies, what truly sets this place apart is the incredible soul running it. Mitzi has a heart bigger than the island itself. She is ALWAYS looking out for others, constantly finding ways to support you, and effortlessly bringing out the best in everyone around her. Her warmth, generosity, and passion shine through in everything she touches. Thank you for being such an inspiration and for feeding both our bellies and our spirits!

I have been a Maui Cookie Lady fan for ten years! Up until November 2019, we visited Maui on an…read morealmost yearly basis. (Yes, we are way overdue to get back on island!) I had heard about the Maui Cookie Lady cookies in early 2016 and knew that I had to get one the next time we visited. At that time, the cookies were only available at various local markets that would get a delivery once or twice a week. There was no dedicated retail store then. In November 2016, it finally happened! I was able to find a small supply of Mitzi's, the Maui Cookie Lady's, cookies at the Market Maui (since closed). My first cookie was Da Half Baked - a chocolate chip cookie stuffed with Reese's, Snickers, AND Oreo! OMG...only a super creative cookie chef extraordinaire could have imagined such a delight! I knew that I would be a fan forever!! On every subsequent trip, I sought out the amazing cookies. It wasnʻt always easy to find them, as the batches were small and offered in very limited locations. I would be on a mission and never gave up until I found them. My friends and co-workers were always so excited when I brought them back a "world-famous Maui Cookie Lady" cookie when I returned from Maui. In late 2020, the year after my last trip to Maui, the Maui Cookie Lady opened up a retail shop in Makawao. I haven't been able to stop by in person yet, but I will be going the next time I visit. I tell all my friends about the cookies, and several have been able to stop by the cute shop. When I am lucky, a friend will bring back some ono cookies for me. The Maui Cookie Lady cookies are not like most of the cookies you are used to eating. The first thing that you will notice is that they are really big!! I like to say that they are "gargantuan"! The second thing is that they are made with creative ingredients that may be familiar to you, or they may be new. Many of the varieties incorporate local ingredients lilikoi, Kona coffee, and macadamia nuts. The combination of flavors will excite any cookie loverʻs taste buds. Donʻt worry if you are not local to stop by the shop in person. You can order cookies online, individually or via the monthly subscription box. If you are visiting and want to take a few home with you, know that they can be frozen and stay great when you want to enjoy them. They do not contain preservatives, which I think is a big plus. In addition to creating great cookies, Mitzi is a big supporter of the community. She helps with various fundraising efforts to help those in Maui. As a former teacher, she is connected to educators in Hawaiʻi and their special needs. Once I get back to Maui, I will visit the store and update this review. I can't wait!

There were RACKS of them!! In addition to customers lining up to buy them. That's how you know they're good! One lady told me that the butter rolls are good too, so I bought some of them to try. The butter rolls were super soft and had a nice sweetness to them. I enjoyed them! The stick donut was AMAZING! I enjoyed pulling it off the stick. The glaze is delicious and the donuts have a crispy outside and soft, fluffy inside. So yummy! I'll definitely be back for more! There were three sweet ladies working in the store. One was getting what seemed to be phone orders prepared and the other two were checking people out. They take credit card in addition to cash! Parking: Need to find street parking in the area or try the lot behind the store. They were super friendly too.

Local products including meat, eggs, fruit & veg are available, and rather reasonably priced. If you're not a Costco addict, you'll find the prices are equivalent to local grocery stores. We got farm eggs and local steak for less than what would be paid at Safeway or Foodland. Like many local stores, Rodeo offers warm ready to eat foods like spam musubi, breakfast wraps, and plate-lunch style meals at the deli counter. They also offer local and imported ingredients, including for some reason many products from Mexico. I picked up a dark Oaxaca mole here that was incredible. They have bottled Coke from Mexico as well. There's also a large selection of cold drinks, inexpensive and otherwise. A can of flavoured water costs $1, good deal and refreshing. Kombucha is available in bottles and on tap. Add to that a huge alcohol and tobacco selection, and an impressive cigar humidor! There's something for everyone here, and you gotta love the local general store ambiance. It's deceptive from the exterior how large the store is, and one would never expect the variety of products inside. Don't forget to ask the cashier for the answer to the sandwich-board joke of the day, or say hello to the shop kitty!

All of the ice cream flavors I've had are so delicious, so you can't really go wrong. Samples are available. My favorite is the mint chocolate chip. A staple but sometimes easy to get wrong. Lappert's gets the ratio of mint and chocolate chips right. I don't like a ton of chocolate chips in every bite. The consistency and creaminess of the ice cream is what sets Lappert's apart. If you're in the mood for some Hawaiian flavors, try the Tutu's anniversary, which is a creamy coconut ice-cream, tangy passion fruit, and sweet strawberry sorbet.

We both felt that the flavors were decent, but the texture of the ice cream was a little "freezer burned" - we found chunks of ice in it, which was off putting.

Reef is located in a parking lot and the truck is vibrant and inviting, beautifully decorated with lush green plants, making it super photo friendly. The ordering process is simple. You choose your base, pick the fruit you want blended in, and they make it fresh right in front of you. You can enjoy it in either a cone or a cup. There are a couple of picnic tables behind the truck that can comfortably seat about 10-12 people, which was nice for our family to sit and enjoy our treats together in the shade. Our only suggestion would be to add some shade for guests waiting in line. It gets pretty hot standing in direct sunlight, especially when there's a longer wait. That said, the quality, freshness, and healthier ingredients made it well worth the stop. Both the kids and the parents loved it, and we'd definitely recommend checking it out!

They use New Zealand Ice Cream Machines to create their fresh fruit ice cream concoctions. You can choose between Vanilla or Coconut (Non Dairy) Base, between a cup or a Waffle Cone, and you can choose 1 or up to 3 fruits to swirl into your ice cream. I was going to go modest with 1 fruit but decided on the 3 fruit combo of Strawberry, Mango and Banana and it was a nice swirl of fruits and the coconut base and I think best enjoyed in the crispy Waffle Cone. I'm a sprinkle addict (a go to on my ice cream since childhood lol) so that was lacking for me but I noticed you can add various toppings like Oreos, Honey, Granola, Waffle cone crumbles, etc. I tried my friend's fruit choices and they were delicious! The Pineapple with Coconut Base tasted like a Dole Whip, the Banana was light and creamy and the Strawberry and Mango (which was close to mine) was delicious as well. They have outdoor seating in the back with a little bit of shade. The last time I came with a friend was evening when it was cooler but the ice cream definitely hit during the day and was refreshing for sure.
