    Cookie Lab's truck was found near Wailea. Yummy and huge cookies that do not disappoint! Coconut, spice and chocolate chip. Check it out on Maui.

    L-R: Lilikoi Oatmeal, Ginger Spice, Chocolate Chunk Sea Salt - VN
    Vince N.

    I have yet to step foot inside their new digs that took over the old Tutti Frutti spot. However, I was gifted a 3-pack sampler of cookies. It would've been nice if the package was labeled properly with its contents. Lilikoi Oatmeal This was my favorite of the trio as it had the best flavor and texture, but not by much. The lilikoi drizzle wasn't overly sweet or pungent like the fresh fruit and complimented the cookie well. A layer of oatmeal lined the bottom of the cookie for a mouthful of oats. Ginger Spice My second favorite cookie but it was too soft - squooshy like a Peep candy, though the flavor was spot-on. Chocolate Chunk Sea Salt Horribly crumbly like an old cookie that sat on the shelf for too long, killed it. OVERALL: Good luck, MCL, but I'm not a fan.

    I've watched Maui Cookie Lab grow over the years from their little cookie trailers at various locations on Maui and now to this brick and mortar spot in Kahului at the old TCBY/Tutti Frutti. They've given the place a lovely facelift with fun splashes of color throughout and even have a great printed social wall that encourages those aesthetic photos for the 'gram. In the past few months I've tasted and experienced their cookies through various avenues whether it was a prepackaged dessert at events, a coworker picking up a box for the team, a very very large order of boxes of mixed cookies for an entire organization, and here at their store. I've found myself loving their cookies more and more and have especially taken a liking to their Chocolate Chunk Sea Salt cookie! Their Likiko'i Oatmeal is also a good choice along with their floral shortbread cookies. If you're wanting to try something a little different, grab a cookie ice cream sundae where they cut up a whole cookie and pair it with ice cream! It is a bit pricey at $4 for one cookie, 3 for $11, or $21 for six so it's definitely a once in a while kinda treat for me. If you want to try a larger variety of flavors, I'd recommend the Mini Cookie Gift Box (12 cookies) for $22. They also do custom orders and worked with my team when we needed hundreds and hundreds of cookies for our staff -- it makes for a great treat at those company parties and events!

    White chocolate Mac nut pineapple cookie- delish from airport but pricey!

    This is not a review of this shop, just of the cookies as I got the cookie at the Kahului airport. Had the pineapple mac nut white chocolate cookie and it was the bomb! Much more pricey at the airport but it was really good. Next time I'm in Maui will have to try the brick and mortar...

    First of all yay for the reserved parking spots in front the store. Finally made it here after seeing all the yummy photos on Instagram. A very cute shop with the smell of fresh cookies as you enter. There's a good assortment of cookies, but not too many where you would be there for hours trying to decide. It's $4 for 1, 3 for $11, & I think 6 for $18. But don't quote me on that last one. The more you buy, the better deal you get. As much as I wanted 6, I went with 3. Got the lilikoi oatmeal, chocolate chip oatmeal with Mac nuts, & caramel toffee. Cookies had a good texture. Littlle crisp on the outside, softer inside. The chocolate chip oatmeal was thicker & softer. There with some salt sprinkled on top which was a nice touch. Very yummy & probably my favorite. The lilikoi was a nice surprise. I'm not a huge lilikoi fan, but it added a nice tartness to the oatmeal. Caramel was good, not too sweet. Being that we live in Kihei, I threw then in the fridge, so the chocolate wouldn't melt. It didn't change the texture, even the next day they were fine. Person behind the counter was very nice & helpful. Definitely need to come back & try more.

    Maui Cookie Lab honu sprinkle shortbread cookies.
    Tre X.

    How sweet it is! Although I haven't tried all of the cookies they offer, I plan to one day! Maui Cookie Lab creates humongous cookies that are fresh, tasty, and make great gifts. They also have itty bitty cookies in case you want something more petite. My favorites are the lilikoi oatmeal and floral shortbread cookies (which you can get in the regular, large cookie size or as a mini 2" size). Their floral cookies are beautiful shortbread cookies topped with dedicate, edible flowers and finished with a citrus glaze. Sure the cookies are a bit pricey, but the big cookies are huge, and a lot of attention goes into each cookie, especially the floral ones that are individually handcrafted. What put Maui Cookie Lab over the top for a 5-star review is the owner Heidi. She really understands the importance of a happy customer, and I was pleasantly surprised at her great customer service and willingness to go above and beyond. She helped me complete a a big cookie order before the holidays and made me a bunch of honu sprinkle cookies that weren't even on their current menu. Mahalo Maui Cookie Lab!

    A friend and I dropped by the Maui farmers market on a Saturday morning and this cookie truck was there. We split a coconut mac nut macaroon and lilikoi oatmeal cookie. I thought the latter had more flavor.

The parking lot is a bit tight upon arrival, but you can definitely drive around the back and check for availability there. I was pleased to find the line wasn't outside the door. It was pretty busy inside, for good reason. Their pastries and food options looked spectacular. As I observed seated customers, everyone appeared to be enjoying themselves and their treats. I was a little disappointed to see the pump bottles of syrup by the bar, as I would've loved to try a house made syrup. But nonetheless, I ordered a cortado with coconut milk and Mac nut flavoring. It was much smaller than I was used to from ordering cortados at other shops, but it was perfect. I wish I took a photo. Since I stopped by before returning my rental car in the afternoon, there wasn't that much of a wide variety of pastries left. However I was able to snag an Ube croissant. I saved it on my flight and ate it at home the following day. It remained super soft and fresh. The ube filling was light yet flavorful without being too sweet. The color was gorgeous. I'm not sure if you'll understand, but the croissant was flakey but not dry. It was airy, but still bready and full. It was hugeeee!! I'd compare it to half the size of my forearm lol. I only waited about 10 mins from entry to exit. After trying this shop, I would gladly wait outside on the steps if I had to. Can't wait to return and try some new items!!

You can tell they put real care into what they serve, and it shows in every sip. We ordered two lattes, one with brown sugar and one with vanilla, and both were amazing. The flavors were balanced, not overly sweet, and complemented the quality of the espresso perfectly. We also shared a cheese danish that my husband absolutely loved. He said it was one of the best he has ever had, and I have to agree -- buttery, flaky, and so fresh. The shop itself has such a fun, cozy vibe. There's even a swing inside, which adds such a unique and playful touch. It's the kind of place you actually want to hang out in, not just grab a coffee and go. Service was excellent. The barista was super friendly and even made the cutest latte art, which totally made my day. I ordered a 12 oz and loved that it came in a mug, while my husband got a 16 oz to-go. My only wish is that they would offer mugs for the larger sizes too. It would be a nice way to cut down on paper and plastic and make the experience even better. Overall, Akamai Coffee is a gem. Between the amazing drinks, delicious pastries, welcoming atmosphere, and thoughtful service, it's the kind of place you'll want to visit again and again. If you're in Maui, definitely make time to stop by. You won't regret it!

While waiting in line, I could see everyone walking away with their drinks and smiling. Taking pictures and exchanging words with the staff. The staff seemed very friendly, energetic, and positive from my observations during the whole visit. It was really hard for me to choose which flavor to add to my matcha, but I ended up with Ube since I was looking for a creamy drink. I request half sweet and it was just divine. Although I originally ordered coconut milk to help balance the thickness/creaminess of the Ube, they had run out. They checked in with me about what alternative milk choice I'd like to proceed with so I decided on oat. They really got it down to a science because I was able to taste both the matcha and Ube separately. Not one was overpowering the other. Although the line was long, it went by fast :)

Great matcha taste with a hint of banana and a little nuttiness that balanced everything out really well. The only thing I didn't see was a cold foam option, which would've taken it to the next level for me. But overall, definitely worth stopping by.
