    Banana bread sundae
    Cris R.

    Best banana bread I've ever had! Plus the ice cream on top made it even better. If I could eat this everyday I would! I would definitely suggest visiting this place for some homemade ice cream and banana bread! Mahalo!

    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.

    What an amazing experience! This place was definitely a highlight of our vacation to Maui. The ice cream is homemade and so amazing. Don't forget to get some banana bread while you are here too, it is a must! I recommend getting a banana bread split so you don't miss out on either. Can't speak more highly of this place!

    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 ;)

    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!!

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Tim S.

    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.

    Guava ice cream with waffle cone!

    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.

    definitely a popular place to visit when you're in Lahaina. There's gonna be a wait... I was 30…read moreminutes early and the wait was still about 45 minutes. no reservations just a good old line. lots of parking when you get there head towards the pool. The staff here is super friendly and you also get tons of birds at your table so beware but the staff is super helpful in getting them off the tables portions for the food are pretty big, especially the fried rice, which makes sense because they offer a half portion. Big fan of their coconut syrup for their pancakes. I recommend getting a coffee/drink before getting in line so you're not so hungry waiting for your table. there's barely any shade in line, but they do have umbrellas. all in all if you have time, come check it out if you're in a time crunch, I would not pick this place but you can get food to go and they said it takes about 10 minutes. The views are beautiful so make time if you can.

    The Gazebo Restaurant at Napili Shores Maui by Outrigger was spectacular! The oceanfront location…read moreis hard to beat, and the food and service were both excellent. My daughter and I split the combo pancakes with macadamia nuts, pineapple, and banana, served with coconut syrup, along with an omelette, potatoes, and toast. The portions are huge, so splitting was perfect! My husband had the Portuguese sausage omelette, one of my sons ordered the shrimp melt, and my other son had the banana macadamia nut pancakes. Everyone loved their meal. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the whole experience felt relaxed and very Maui. Between the gorgeous views, generous portions, delicious food, and great service, this was easily one of our favorite breakfast spots on the island. There can definitely be a wait because it is so popular, but it is absolutely worth

    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

    Visited on a Tuesday around 9:55am right before opening, there was a line of about 15-20 guests…read moreahead of me so be prepared to wait. Restaurant opened promptly at 10am, guest slowly made their way in took us about 15min to place our order. Food: Apple Handheld Pie - size was about 3-4" long and 2" wide. Crust was okay somewhat flaky and fairly tender. Bake was a light golden color could have been baked a touch more. Apples were nice and chunky with sweet cinnamon sugar filling, good filling to crust ratio. Pie was covered in a confections sugar glaze which made it a bit sticky to eat, felt unnecessary for a handheld pie, overall okay. Service was quick order at the counter and staff packs your order, we grabbed our to go. Interior had about 15-20 tables l, self serve water and utensil station if you wanted to dine in. Overall seems like a convenient stop midway to Lahaina if you are looking for a sweet treat, wouldn't wait too long or go out of your way to visit but worth a try if you are in the area.
