    I discovered this place when I decided to give up waiting for a cinnamon roll at its very, very popular neighbor. I wish I had given up on the wait a lot sooner! First of all, after a long wait, there's nothing so nice as...not waiting. The woman behind the counter at Penny's was welcoming and friendly and as almost a protest to the unsuccessful wait for the cinnamon roll, I got a nutritious breakfast sandwich instead. An everything bagel freshly baked, with 2 eggs, Muenster cheese, and thick-cut bacon. Yum! Really delicious! And filling! And from the comfortable table and chairs outside the takeout window called Banana Window, I chilled and looked at the slow-moving line at the famous neighbor. Next time I'm in the area, I'll make Penny's my primary destination.

    We love the banana bread here!The famous cinnamon roll place is next door and always has a mile long line. Happily skip it and enjoy our flat whites and banana bread yum

    Great local Ohana owned ice cream shop, run by two local chefs who worked at high end restaurants and decided to make and sell homemade ice cream, all fresh, with no preservatives or colouring. Locally sourced ingredients where possible too. With that commitment to their product you know you are going to have a delicious ice cream. They also make banana splits with their ice cream, coffees including a banana latte and affogato, home bake the ubiquitous yet delicious Hawaiian banana bread, and they also sell bagel breakfast sandwiches too. Sounds yummy to me! Breakfast, treats, and dessert! There is a car parking area to the side (where the little shanty selling clothing is), and it is walking distance from a lot of hotels and condos in the area. Lots of seating space outside and free samples inside with a friendly smile. Hubbs chose the lemon blueberry ice cream today, and was impressed with the sweetness of the ice cream being cut by the tart fruity flavours. Very creamy, yet refreshing. Unusual flavours such as Mango Sticky Rice blend well with the usual favourites. Add in homemade waffle cones and it is a recipe for success. Definitely a place you want to stop by and visit. Look out for the yellow Banana window ;)

    Banana single scoop ice cream YUMMMM. On Monday afternoon it was very quiet and no wait to get my ice cream but I noticed the next day in the morning was busier

    Banana bread sundae
    Gloria L.

    Oh my gosh, the banana bread sundae is a MUST TRY!!!!! A slice of homemade banana bread, ice cream topped with whip cream, hawaiian sea salt caramel and sliced apple banana - the PERFECT combination of sweet and salty I got the macadamia nut ice cream to pair w it and it was perfect!!

    We came to Penny's for the ice cream. Get here earlier in the evening if you come after dinner. We showed up later and a lot of the flavors were already gone (wish is a good sign)! I got the banana ice cream, the flavor was perfect and not too sweet. It gets busy in the morning also for their breakfast items as well.

    A must stop while on the island. I got the affogato and it is the best dessert I have ever had. Everything we tried was great. My son and wife loved their chocolate peanut butter ice cream as well.

    The best coffee and banana bread I've had! Please skip the line at Papi's and come here instead. Maya was so friendly and helpful. She allowed us to taste any ice creams we wanted, helped with coffee recommendations, and was super sweet. The banana bread latte was AMAZING!!! They make all their syrups themselves, and it really shows. Not too sweet at all, and the banana taste was not overpowering. 10/10. The actual slice of banana bread we got was out of this world. Seriously better than I have ever had in my entire life. There is this crunch on top that makes it unique. I could've eaten a whole pan of it. Make sure to get it toasted, per Maya's advice! My brother got chocolate peanut butter ice cream on the waffle cone. He normally leaves ice cream, and he ate everything. It was melting quickly, which means they don't use any weird ingredients. 10/10 recommend. During our trip, we also had the açaí bowls which were sooo good. The actual base was so tasty and sweet. And the fruit and granola tasted to fresh. Was topped with banana, kiwi, strawberry, blueberries, honey, and granola. Please try!! I have been to Maui many, many times. It is always a struggle to find a good cup of coffee. Just be patient when ordering, as they usually just have 2 people behind the counter. This place is one I will never forget, and I'll be sure to recommend to any friends and family that comes to visit Maui. Thank you!!

    We come to this area once a year on vacation and just today we noticed Penny's on the map: no brainer to stop in because of how much our family loves ice cream! Fresh ice cream made every day: such incredible quality! We ordered the banana bread ice cream sundae with cookies and cream and peanut butter chocolate swirl and the whole thing was to die for! Clean store, such happy vibes and the best customer service. We want to come back for breakfast soon!

    What a great little shop! We stopped by here a couple different times while on vacation and the fam really loved their açaí bowls and ice cream.

    Late post but had to leave a great review. I was fortunate to service this little company as it was one of many work stops that day for me. They treated me on the house to sample their amazing ice cream! Very ono and they put out some great tasting ice cream! If anyone in the area check them out! You won't regret!

    Apple banana chocolate dipped w/waffle cone topping- yum.
    JoAnn D.

    What a local gem! Stopped by twice and got a chocolate dipped apple banana w/waffle cone topping for dessert and a freshly handmade cheese bagel in the morning. It was so good I had to get 1 to go. Great coffee drinks too. Everything is delicious. Must try!

    Went here with my son on a holiday vacation! Super friendly owner with a cute daughter!!! I got their açaí as I was craving it when I was there which was not disappointing. (5/5) Based on what I was hearing, they make their ice cream in house which I wasn't able to try but was so tempted. For sure, I would come back for their ice cream as from what I saw, they had a lot of choices to choose from. Sitting area was plenty... side and front tables and bench facing the street. (5/5) I don't recall a parking lot but seems like most of the people walk over here as that's what we did as well.

The Loco Moco was rich and comforting, with a perfectly seasoned beef patty, fluffy rice, and delicious brown gravy. The chilaquiles were packed with flavor and topped with perfectly cooked eggs and fresh green onions for a nice crunch. I do have to mention that they're a little on the spicy side, but absolutely worth it! The cinnamon roll was the perfect way to end the meal--soft, warm, and topped with just the right amount of sweet icing. The service was efficient and friendly, and the atmosphere was casual and welcoming. If you're looking for an amazing breakfast or brunch in Maui, this place is definitely worth a visit. We'll be back every time we're in town!

    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
