    Berry cheesecake
    Edward W.

    Food: 4.9/5 Service: NA/5 Value: 4.7/5 Stopped by and was mesmerized by their berry cheesecake, and oh my goodness it didn't disappoint. If you're ever around here, would STRONGLY recommend the cheesecake. The cheesecake is thick, the crust is even thicker, and the berry glaze adds a nice sweetness that's not too sweet while there are whole blueberries inside to add just a touch of tanginess to some of the bites you take. We loved it so much we came back a second time close to closing but they were out of the cheesecake already. What a bummer but glad I got to experience it once.

    Display case of beautiful pastries.

    The pastries on display in the cases all looked delicious and screamed EAT US. I succumb easily to pastry pressure so we got a brownie and a piece of coffee cake (blueberry). The brownie was ooey and gooey with crispy edges. I am not a chocoholic so one bite was good enough for me, though warm and topped with a scoop of ice cream would have been amazing. The coffee cake was oddy devoid of flavor and not something I'd order again. Staff wasn't particularly helpful but maybe it's because they were busy and only had two people behind the counter. The empanadas looked good and I could be persuaded to go back and try them. But I think I'll skip the sweets.

    We got to Pau around 8am on a Thursday morning and only waited about 10-15 minutes to order and get our food. We ate across the street at the park which was nice. They have a pretty big menu from breakfast and lunch sandwiches, to empanadas, to sweets and pastries. Good coffee menu also. Great experience overall.

    Clearly I was sold at fresh sourdough, they sell individual rounds, fresh from the oven and even better with local honey and butter. We also snagged a few empanadas to heat up throughout the week with a side of cheesecake, so all in we were pretty happy with our first try of Pau. The staff are friendly and the vibe is welcoming.

    Came for the empanada. Just a tad disappointed. The place was fully stocked on them. Maybe I got the wrong one. I got the beef. Not so flaky. No flavor in the filling. Also had to wait about 10 minutes for the thing. Staff is great though!

    We tried the empanadas, bagel sandwich, and the cinnamon roll. Everything was great!! The empanadas were just as good as the ones we had in Spain and cinnamon roll was so flavorful! I would definitely come back.

    Located about a mile down from the Times market on Lower Honoapiilani Rd in Kaanapali this little gem I found by chance and SO thankful I did; coincidentally it is located right next to Bad Ass coffee. Pau is Italian owned and Italian operated and I don't think of the several times that I visited did I encounter any one of the staff who didn't have an Italian accent. Pau was amazing in every way; the quality of the coffee, the expertise in which it was prepared and friendliness of the staff. Let's not also forget the quality of their unbelievable pastry selection and empanadas. I could sit there all day and eat the empanada's; I only sampled the chicken and beef and both were equally delicious!! . Go online and take a look at their menu as they have other options as well regarding food to eat for breakfast etc. Now I would be remiss if I didn't mention that I have been to Bad Ass coffee on previous visits before and I absolutely have no idea why people continue to wait in long lines at Bad Ass when in my opinion Pau's quality and service is far superior... it can't be because of price as a 12 ounce latte with a double shot of espresso is only $5.50 at Pau. I honestly feel you will not regret giving ' this little slice of Italy' a shot and when you do I think there's a good chance you'll be hooked liked I am. "Also make sure you get there fairly early and grab a warm fresh baked loaf of sourdough bread...SO GOOD" They open at 7am and close at 2pm... small parking area but a a lot of people coming and going so it's pretty easy to grab a spot.

    Probably get best cinnamon rolls I've had in a while! Very casual place just down the street from another quite famous cinnamon roll spot. The folks were so nice too! We took our food across the street and had a delicious brekkie right on the beach. It was heaven! Can't wait to come back!

    I went in for the Empanadas and they did not disappoint. I have been back a second time already. Highly recommend, hot or cold. They have so many other good offerings, you are literally spoiled for choice for breakfast and lunch. Highly recommend and the staff are so friendly ad service is quick. I just need another week to try more items. Enjoy.

    This place came up on our search for breakfast a few times so we decided to give this a try. They have great looking choices overall, especially with the food that is displayed in the shelves! We had their croissant and chicken empanadas. Both were great. Their salmon toast was good too. If you like Kona, the coffee store next door has some good options that complement the sweet treats here. They do have limited parking so do plan to spend some time finding a spot especially if you are on a schedule.

    Pau's is a fun bakery, a little out of place in Lahaina but refreshing and welcome! They do sweet, Argentinian, using fresh local ingredients. Favorite bites: Balcarce was amazing and unique Cream puff was delicious Other bites: The chocolate cream puff used chocolate that wasn't my favorite

    Spinach Empeñada

    Adorable bakery in walking distance to several beachfront hotels and rentals. We stopped in for some breakfast and were not disappointed! Everything is made fresh, they have a large menu and bakery, we enjoyed their empanadas! Would recommend stopping in :)

    Avocado Toast

    Great service and good! Super cute shop, long line but went pretty quick. My mom comes everyday and is always met with a smile. Will definitely be back for the cinnamon rolls and pastries.

    We happened to walk by at 11am on a Tuesday and there was no line, so we popped in. I think they…read morewere on their last 20 cinnamon rolls and everything else on the breakfast menu was sold out. But we got two and they were indeed the best cinnamon rolls I've had. Not greasy or cakey, perfect with a cup of coffee, and held up the next day with reheating. I wouldn't have stood in line for an hour in the sun, but I'm glad we went. But the best thing was the interaction with the staff - the person at the register was friendly and kind and we had an unexpected heart-warming exchange about a hat I was wearing about an Indigenous land defender in Honduras. Most people don't ask me about it and I was so touched she took the time to listen and respond.

    We went to Papi's Ohana 3 times this trip. We did a 5am wake up call for cinnamon rolls, cookies…read moreand scones for one visit, pizza for another and lastly strolled in at 11am another day to grab more scones and cinnamon rolls. Must haves: The mango and pineapple scones are amazing. Our 3rd trip in was just to get scones, because I couldn't stop talking about them! I liked to put them in our fridge, and just break off pieces as I walked by. I swear they are even better and more flavorful the next day! The cookies are so good! My son called them the best he has had, and is wanting us to try and recreate them when we get home. They come in a box cold, and 10 seconds in a microwave really brings them to life! We got a second box with our pizza, because they were that good. I'd eat again: the cinnamon rolls are good. It's what they're known for, and I agree they are delicious and well worth the cost. I'm not sure I'd get up at 5am again for them. However, when we rolled through at 11am and they still had some, you best believe we picked some up! The skip: I would not get their pizza again. We called at 3pm to order an all meat and a Hawaiian pizza for pickup at 5:30pm that day. Pickup was easy, but when we got to our condo we were so disappointed. The pizza tastes fine, but they are so so so skimpy on toppings. Considering the size of their scones and cinnamon rolls, we thought they'd put that same gusto into their pizza, and it definitely fell short. With so many good pizza places nearby, I would go somewhere else. If I'm paying for toppings, I want toppings!

    chocolate haupia pie ($11) - i dont usually like chocolate…read moreflavored dessert but i have to say this one changed my mind - it is one of my favorite dessert on this island AND i loved it so much this deserves a five star woooo - i really went in not expecting much from it but every bite was delectable from the cream on top to the chocolate and coconut layers - first, as a cream hater who usually scrapes off the cream, i actually ate and enjoyed it; it was light and fluffy not heavy at all - second, the chocolate layer wasnt too sweet and was super velvety smooth; it got enough chocolate content but not too much that it'd be too rich and dense - third, the coconut layer wasn't offensively strong but it actually balanced out the sweetness from the cream and chocolate; it was also a bit gelatinous which enhanced the texture of this dessert - lastly, the tart was crispy and crunchy; not too thick and it also added another layer to the texture, completing the whole dish rating: 5/5 - quick service and half self service; nothing much to note; the pies were already pre made so the server just gave it to us immediately - very casual dining spot; family friendly; ambiance is giving little cabin type restaurants you would find when you're on a road trip IG: @nom.noms.only

The computer automatically puts in a tip so I kept pressing to sign my credit card at it was over $15 on my receipt. Id rather get a hula pie at Duke's, MonkeyPod or Leilani's for that price and my family can share with me. Wow. It's sad when these Maui places blow up then up the prices to where it's just not worth it. I used to go in and buy 3 for myself. Not anymore. I'm just as happy with grocery store pies.

If you're looking for a refreshing breakfast or snack after the beach, their açaí bowls are some of the best on the island. We tried two different bowls, and both were beautifully presented and loaded with fresh fruit. The açaí was perfectly blended and topped with sweet papaya, raspberries, toasted coconut, and a creamy scoop of frozen yogurt. The other bowl was topped with fresh bananas, strawberries, and blueberries, little bit of honey to add some sweetness, making it light and refreshing. Everything was made fresh, the portions were generous, and the presentation was appreciated--even decorated with fresh orchid flowers. One of the best parts is that you can customize your bowl exactly how you like it. They also offer flavorful coffee drinks that pair perfectly with breakfast. It's a walk-up counter where you order first, and there's plenty of indoor seating to relax and enjoy your meal. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick. We look forward to coming back every time we visit Maui!

The coffee also came out very quickly but I will say if you are in a rush I would recommend ordering an açaí bowl, as those came out much faster than the cooked food. For coffee, I ordered an iced vanilla latte and it was just okay. However, my sister ordered the iced island latte and it was very good just was more dessert like to me! For food I had the pesto chicken sandwich and it was super good and was a very nice portion. Overall I would come back again but I am not sure if it was completely worth the hype/wait.
