(+) Azuki bean mochi…read more Maui specialty chocolates is a family owned business that sells high quality chocolates, candies and mochi. They have plenty of selection in terms of chocolate. The reason we visit here is for their mochi. The mochi is some of the best I've ever had, and I have been to Japan to try theirs. The flavors are chocolate, peanut butter chocolate, and azuki bean (red bean). I'm not a peanut butter fan nor chocolate, so I just ate the red bean mochi. The mochi is so soft and the red bean filling is not too sweet and filled with a good amount of it. Since it is a family business, the hours are fluctuate constantly. There was a point where every time we visited, it was closed during our stay for 4 years straight. Check their website to confirm hours.

Aloha fellow Tourists! My cousin was born and raised on Maui. He sent treats from Obachan's to…read moreCalifornia. This is a stop you have to make while visiting. If you don't make it, then order from their online shop. You won't regret it! If you are Latino, I guarantee your favorite thing in all their snacks will be the "Spicy Whole Seed" and "Sweet & Sour Whole Seed" if you're anything like my Mexican hubby. We could not stop eating them! The LiHing Mango and dried Papaya were also very delicious and had the perfect combination of flavor and texture. The LiHing gummy Peach rings are unexplainable. It tastes like no peach rings you have ever experienced. I don't even like peach rings like that. Strangely, it feels like love was literally put in the bag. It's not listed as an ingredient, but it's totally in there. Maybe it's Aloha, maybe it's just quality ingredients. Whatever it is, I hope the recipe never changes, because everyone should experience it! If you're a "foodie" this is a must stop shop on the island.

This family-owned gem is hands down one of the most delightful places I've ever visited! From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted by the warmest smiles and the friendliest faces. They have a good selection of local candies, drinks and chocolates. Love that they had dippin dots too on those hot days! If you want to support a local business that treats its customers like family while enjoying some of the best candy around, Obachans is the place to be. It's an experience you won't soon forget!

Honestly surprised there aren't more reviews for Lee Bear! They are a Maui institution and have…read morebeen serving the community with specialty chocolates, candy making supplies, handmade crafts, and amazing gift baskets for over 30 years! Their little store is small, but mighty and the service is nothing short of spectacular. What *I think* they're mostly known for is their gift baskets/boxes. When holidays, birthdays, special occasions roll around, Lee Bear is such a great place to find an assortment of goodies for friends and loved ones. Their gift baskets are filled with treats like candies, Maui Cookkwees, gourmet cookies and rice krispies that have been dipped in a rich, decadent chocolate coating; freshly hand-dipped in their store to ensure high quality flavor. My favorite is the white chocolate covered pretzels with rice krispies, marshmallows, etc. SO good. It's the first thing I call dibs on when I see it. Haha! Just recently, I stopped in when my little one suggested we make lollipops. They had a wide selection of molds, gel food coloring, candy thermometer, basically everything and anything we needed. They even sold the white chocolate covered rice krispy treat by the package! It's a bit of a splurge, but I like what I like and will pay for it... lol. When we checked out, the lady (I'm assuming the owner?) asked us if we've made lollipops before and offered up so many tips and hacks. She answered all of our questions and even provided a mini recipe book that she suggested we keep as they don't make them anymore. I was really impressed, but not really surprised, with the quality of their customer service. That's what I love about mom and pop shops and the reason I will continue to support local businesses like these. Next time you decide to make a treat or need a quick, easy gift, you don't have to spend hours shopping for the perfect gift. Stop by the store or order a sweet gift basket from Lee Bear & Co Inc.

I tried an edible arrangement but they would not deliver it to Maui hospital. I was able to get a hold of the kind lady from Lee Bear and although it was after hours, she took the time to talk to me. She listened to my situation and kindly took down my information and when she went to the store the next day, she made my order and delivered it to the hospital!! What amazing service! This is a prime example of living aloha!! I cannot even say how much I appreciated what she had done for me and how much it meant to me. The person receiving the gift basket was also elated and enjoyed the delicious treats that were in the basket!! Mahalo nui loa Lee Bear!!

Need a last minute gift of Aloha from Hawaii?…read more You'll find it here at Maui Market Company! This is an open air shop inside Maui Airport between Gates 16 and 17. Besides the normal souvenirs such as magnets, key chains, jewelry, and t-shirts, there are Fresh Flower Lei ! If you need a snack for yourself, there are Maui Macaroons, banana and mango bread from 4 Sisters Bakery, and cookies from The Maui Cookie Lady! If you prefer prepackaged trail mix, gummy bears, and coconut candy, they are here, too! Other cool items are the local soaps and lotions, jewelry, fresh pineapples, travel pillows and blankets, and cuttings from tropical plants so you can grow a hibiscus plant and plumeria tree in your backyard! So, if you have time while you're at Maui Airport, take a look! You might see some artwork that catches your fancy!

They had a promo sign stating "Buy four at $7 each and the fifth one is free-$38.00" so for $$39.60, we got 5 types. They taste nothing like what we sampled. Every single one is awful. The coconut taste like mint, the Maui mud pie is stale, the chocolate taste like perfume...ugh!!! There is a number on the bottom...is this the expiration date? Was is last year? Is it when it was made? Buyer beware! We opened it to slice a sample of each for dessert with a group. Everyone agrees something is "off" with this award winning fudge. Feeling very disappointed and irritated that I'm out $39.60. I should've just put two $20s into the trash, cuz that's where this is going.

I first saw Hawaii Fudge Company at Costco when they had a table set-up and were giving out…read moresamples. The second time I saw them was at the Made In Maui County Festival. Both times, I really really liked their turtle fudge. Unfortunately, they were only selling it in boxed sets and not individually. I just wanted that one flavor! The third time I saw them was when my husband & I were randomly strolling through Front Street in Lahaina. I thought to myself, "That packaging looks really familiar... Oooo, they have sweets. Let's go in!" Sure enough, it was the same company with the turtle fudge AND they were selling them individually. The girl at the counter was really friendly and informative, telling us how the fudge is all made on Maui, how they used to make everything in this tiny Lahaina shop, but now have 2 locations (another one in the Kihei Triangle). In the Kihei location, they also hold their fudge making class, which I've heard about and have been wanting to try. I had no idea it was the same company. It was all coming together! The same girl proudly told us she had samples of every single flavor and happily obliged when we asked for specific flavors. As much as I loved the turtle flavor, I ended up randomly getting the Maui mud pie. Go figure! I "just knew" I would like that flavor and I do! She also gave us a sample of the toffee and I picked up a box as a gift for someone. Both are delicious ~ Actually, all their flavors are good! In addition to fudge & toffee, they also sell taffy and coconut candy. Everything in their little shop is $8.50. $8.50 for one little block of fudge, you say?! YEP. I'll pay for a good product that I want & will enjoy ++ you're supporting local. I've paid less for other fudge on island and most of it goes to waste :( This stuff is legit! They do offer a small kamaaina discount and I was given a rewards card to use for return visits. I definitely recommend them, especially if you are looking for Maui Made goodies to give as a gift or to just enjoy for yourself!

When we showed up the lights were half on. I went in since the door was unlocked and the guy in the shop said they were closed. When I asked him about the time he said "they were closed early tonight," which to me just meant he didn't want to work anymore. So we went and spent our money at a different ice cream shop.

One of the things I really loved--something that truly made me feel like a kid in a candy store--was their in-shop camera. You can choose between taking photos, videos, or boomerangs, and then text or email them to yourself. It added such a fun and unique twist to the experience--something I've never seen in a shop before. Definitely an extra treat if you ask me! Here's what we ordered and how we rated it: Mint Chocolate Chip & Coffee Ice Cream - 5/5 This combination was a pleasant surprise! Creamy, smooth, and perfectly balanced, the flavors blended together in a way I didn't know I needed until that very first bite. If you were have a sweet tooth...please be sure to stop by, as I believe you will not regret it!

You can really taste the quality. One little detail I appreciate is that they dice the onions small, rather than the big chunks you get at a lot of other places. It makes for a better bite every time. They have a great variety too, with everything from spicy ahi to tako and shoyu options. Are they on the higher priced side? Yes. Is it worth it? Also yes. This is a nice "treat yourself" kind of poke, and we will absolutely be back. If you are looking for quality fresh poke on Maui, give Kaohu Store a try.

My family and I were famished after our rough morning flight from SFO. I had looked up a poke place…read moreprior to my trip, and this place popped up. It was fun to try this place! It's definitely more of a convenient store than a restaurant. Everything is to-go only, there is definitely no seating available. Also, if you thought you wanted to eat in your car, don't plan on it, as there is a very explicit sign that says no eating, parking for 5 minutes only. Despite all these particular eating criteria, I enjoyed trying the various pokes! They have at least 10 different to choose from, that it was difficult choosing just two for my husband and I to try. I believe I got the Hawaiian Style, and also the Shoyu style. I liked the Shoyu one a bit better, for more sauciness and soy sauce added to the ahi. I also really liked how this place includes rice (huge win for eating right away!) and in a separate container! Well thought out!! Also credit cards are accepted. Great poke find quite close to the airport. Would recommend if you're starving coming off your flight, want something fast and easy, that you can enjoy instantly.
