Leoda's needs no introduction. On our way to our resort in Ka'anapali, we saw a little pie shop…read morewith a line out the door. We knew we had to stop by during our trip. We tried the banana cream pie and Olawalu lime pie (not pictured) to-go on two separate instances. The banana cream pie is fantastic. I'm usually not one for bananas or pies, but the delicate flavor of the banana and airy cream won me over. The lime pie was a little less outstanding. 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.

We ended up getting 3 different flavors. I got the one sugar free dairy free option that they had which I think was a raspberry sorbet and it was delicious!!! I usually dislike sorbet, but this one was not too sweet and perfectly refreshing on a hot day. It was full of raspberry seeds and felt like it actually was mostly made up of fruit. My daughter was indecisive and tried several flavors, and the employee was more than happy to offer additional samples.

The long line at Island Cream Co. tells you everything you need to know--it's absolutely worth the…read morewait! Once you get to the counter, you'll find an incredible selection of shaved ice and homemade ice cream, with endless combinations of flavors and toppings to create your perfect treat. Mixing your own flavors is half the fun, and everything we tried was fresh, delicious, and exactly what you want on a warm Maui afternoon. Beyond the amazing shaved ice and ice cream, what made this visit even more meaningful was seeing the energy returning to Lahaina. Every local business that's open represents another step in the community's recovery, and it's inspiring to see visitors and residents coming together to support them. If you're visiting Maui, make a point to stop by Island Cream Co.--you'll enjoy an incredible treat while also supporting the continued revitalization of one of Hawaii's most beloved towns. We'll definitely be back!

There are not many places to get a good slice of pie on Maui, but Maui Pie in Kihei is the real…read moredeal. I will drive from Wailuku to Kihei every time just for their peach cobbler. 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!

ONE OF THE BEST PIES I'VE EVER HAD…read more ** But terrible customer service ** This place would easily be a 5 star if they had more polite people working there. My mom politely asked if they had any sugar-free pies available. The girl at the register stated " you need to ask for those a day in advance". So my mom asked if she could place an order now to pick up one tomorrow. The girl then looked up from the register with an annoyed look on her face and said, verbatim, " does it look like I'm the head baker? I only work the register. You need to leave the store and call us to order". We all looked at each other shocked. That was the most rude response I've heard in a while... like we are supposed to know who specifically ask to order a sugar free pie ... ... just a wild situation for such a fun place with great tasting pies. The good: - blackberry mango was probably my favorite pie - peach cobbler a close second place - loved the mountain berry as well The bad: - the girl working the register - you want a sugar free pie? Make sure to NEVER ask in person. You have to call in. - And they only offer whole pies and not slices for sugar free pies The verdict: - minus 2 stars for the rude girl who yelled at my mom - minus 1 star for only having whole pies and not slices for sugar free pies, even though they only have 3 flavors to choose from... Such a shame to have people like that working at a place that serves such a good product.

Sugar Beach Bake Shop is definitely worth getting up early for! The malasadas were delicious --…read moresuper fresh and incredibly pillowy. They're not overly sweet, which I really liked. 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.

I'd have to say it's a good, not amazing cinnamon roll. Pretty dense and heavy, so it will fill you up pretty quick. Warms up pretty well. Luckily by the time we came, there actually was no line and we were able to walk right in. After having Papi's, I'd have to say winner goes to Papi's. Don't think I'd wait in line for CRP, and while it's good, can't say it's that much better than something I can get in the mainland like a Cinnabon.

Ululani's shaved Ice is a great place for a refreshing snack or dessert. Their ice particles are…read moreperfect size to maintain the flavored syrup throughout the shave ice evenly. Their syrup is NOT made with high fructose corn syrup which is horrible for your health (and banned in Europe and Asia). Ululani uses pure cane syrup instead. They also serve Roselani ice cream as a side for extra cost. Ululani's shave ice is on the pricy side for what you get. But the ingredients are high in quality, which kicks up the cost.

Not super long wait, but with kids in the sun it can feel long so just plan for that ;)

It has been a long time since Ive physically gone to Stillwells to get something. Not to mention…read moregetting something other then pastries. I think the last time was before they changed ownership. Walked in & the vibe was overall different. The store is brighter with music playing . Ive also noticed that they're now on social media, which I'm sire has helped bring in business for them. I went for the special which was the hot pastrami sandwich & I chose Caesar salad for my side. It came on a nice thick bread filled with a generous portion of meat. Really tasty & even though I didnt eat it right away the bread wasnt soggy. I'm really not a salad girlie, but decided that it was a good pairing for that sandwich. If you havent been into stillwells in years, definitely make it back there if you can.

Obviously the big draw at this popular bakery is their sticky treats, cream horns are in 2 sizes and decadent, Hubby loved their fruit tart and the apple slice. Larger cakes are available too. We stopped by for breakfast after dropping off a friend at OGG for an early flight as they were one of the few places open at that time. Hubbs chose the special Island Boy and enjoyed the spam, bacon, soft scrambled egg and French toast combo. Very filling. I opted for the fried egg sandwich with 2 eggs, mayo, cheese and tomato on Rye. I was a little disappointed as it didn't have too much taste of rye with soft bread. It definitely needed hot sauce to pep it up. However it was filling and cooked to order. They also do salads and sandwiches and sell coffee and Hawaiian salt too. We will definitely be back for sticky treats again.

It was massive, and a small feat to outrun the noontime melt near the end. But it held up pretty nicely for most of it. Super generous boba, mochi and ice cream! Not overpowering sweetness from the condensed milk that others noted. It was good for us. Still, the large size was a little over the top for 2 people. Overall it was about $16 so it wasn't cheap, but we enjoyed it thoroughly.

Manuela's has the best malasadas on Maui, hands down. I first tried them when she was across from…read moreCostco. I tracked her down to her new location on the west side of the "food paradise" in Kihei. They are sold in 3's. They are made to order and you select the sugar and filling on each one. This is incredible customer service. Each malasada is large and filling and the fillings are delectable. There are tables nearby, but I usually take them home to enjoy while watching my Dodger games. Do not miss out on this treat when you visit Maui. If I'm 3 bills by winter, this will be why! Just in time for whale season!

They are right across the street so I may drive to the lot right next to the truck or just run across the street ! It's a cute, very clean food truck right off the hotel driveway & parking lot with parking stalls right near it in case you buy a bunch to take home. Or have a car full of luggage from your flight to Maui since it's just down the way from OGG airport. Malasadas put donuts to shame!!! ESPECIALLY if you like gooey fillings & toppings. My favorite ones are around Christmas but they have tons of regular fillings. I can never get less than three because I can't pass up my chance to try new ones. They have wonderful staff... especially the manager Sabrina...really know their way around dough and they do not scrimp on the Malasadas itself or the fillings! They ONLY cook just for you... so plan a few minutes wait but they have picnic tables under a tarp right there or you can walk around the other food trucks. But definitely at least take your first bites there while they're hot out of the frier!!! 'Only ONE piece of advice: ... G O. H U N G R Y !!!! ...
