We tried the coconut, chocolate, and lilikoi. The coconut was my favorite by farThe chocolate was almost like biting into a little pudding-filled treat, while the lilikoi had that perfect tartness that balanced out the sweetness. One tip: get here early because they sell out fast! Also, they only take credit cards or contactless payment, so leave the cash at home. Definitely a must-stop if you're on Maui and have a sweet tooth! All the ladies in the shop are super friendly and helpful. Almost forgot to mention the delicious iced coffees we got .

Came a little close to 11 AM so all the options were picked through. I really wanted a classic, but they were all sold out but that's alright... the mango and the Ube were probably my favorite flavors and their dough was perfect. Also got one of their cookies to go and banana bread - I was snacking on the cookies all week and the banana bread was a great bite with my coffees every morning. There's outdoor seating in a parking lot, so don't worry and give this place a try when you are in Kihei.

The staff was super friendly and walked us through all the treats on display. We tried several items, and our favorite was the Hawaiian Muffin--pineapple, coconut, macnuts, and a macnut crumble on top. It was recommended to us and absolutely delivered. We also loved the Lilikoi Sweet Bun, filled with a bright passion‑fruit cream. So good. The Pina Colada Sweet Bun had great flavor, though it was a bit on the dry side. There are plenty of other options, and we'd definitely stop by again next time we're in Maui.

(+) Pretzel Croissant…read more Maui bread is a bakery that sells pastries, some hot food items, and desserts. Another staple when visiting Maui. My wife and I come here for their pretzel croissant. It tastes exactly what it sounds like. They used to give the mustard spread, but now they charge for it. Either way, we are still coming back because of how fluffy and flakey the croissant is. You have to try it. We've tried a few other pastries and they were decent.

However, their main selling point are the cinnamon rolls. We shared one cinnamon roll ($7.15) which was huge! It's definitely shareable unless you have a big sweet tooth. We also got the cream cheese frosting ($0.85) which we drizzled on top. I recommend going early because they sell out because they're made fresh.

I had the peach cobbler warmed up and a la mode, and it was delicious. Crumble toppings on pie are my absolute favorite, that buttery, crumbly goodness you wish would never end. Hubby had the key lime pie a la mode, and it was the perfect balance of creamy sweetness and tart, but not too tart. Both slices came with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream, which is the only way to do it. The service was friendly, too. The indoor seating was full, so we sat outside, which turned out to be lovely for people watching and enjoying the fresh air. If you have a sweet tooth and appreciate a proper slice of pie, Maui Pie is worth the trip. Highly recommend, and I'll see you there for more peach cobbler!

I got the smoked salmon bagel and my boyfriend got the breakfast sandwich, and we both really enjoyed them! We also split the bubble waffle. We ended up eating it cold, but I'd definitely recommend eating it fresh/hot. The real star of the show was the Maui Melt panini I got when I came back a second time. LOVED IT. Easily my favorite thing I've tried here so far. I also got one of their specialty lattes with cold foam and asked for it less sweet. It was delicious! The barista was also super sweet and friendly. I sat inside at one of the corner tables and there was an outlet right next to me to plug in my laptop, plus WiFi, which was really nice since I wanted to get some work done. They also have outdoor seating if you'd rather enjoy the weather. Cute spot, great food and coffee, friendly service, and a good place to hang out or work for a bit. Definitely coming back!

Near the airport and beach access, this is a tourist favorite, although a fair amount of locals have been spotted here. I judge a bakery cafe on their croissant. And Momona's is on point. Fluffy inside, crispy shell and buttery goodness. The second test is their espresso. They use a mass produced bean, but the taste was ok. Has room for improvement here, but I doubt they are marketing to coffee snobs given the volume of patrons getting sweets and lunch fare.

The lime flavor was delicate, but the texture of the filling was neither airy nor custard-y enough. The restaurant is cozy and inviting, and I'm sure you could take in the vibe if dining in. Even if not dining in, definitely do try at least once during your trip to Maui.
