Near the airport and beach access, this is a tourist favorite, although a fair amount of locals have been spotted here. I judge a bakery cafe on their croissant. And Momona's is on point. Fluffy inside, crispy shell and buttery goodness. The second test is their espresso. They use a mass produced bean, but the taste was ok. Has room for improvement here, but I doubt they are marketing to coffee snobs given the volume of patrons getting sweets and lunch fare. My wife loves her sweet treats and this is on her must visit list whenever we visit Maui. Happy wife Happy life. Aloha

We were lured by the cooling fresh petite mango bread so we split one. Of course, I needed coffee so I ordered a Bee Nutz, which was perfectly sweet and creamy. We picked up some spam musubis to go with house made teriyaki sauce and a spicy option with jalapeño. Everything was delicious and fresh - and although we didn't get our hands on the sold out hot malasadas, I'm glad we were able to snag something tasty. Will arrive earlier next time for those malasadas!

The Char-Latte comes with in-house made dark salted caramel topped with a hit of local lava salt and is available hot or iced. Their iced version isn't your typical ice cube kind, but rather it's made with finely shaved ice from, you guessed it, Ululani's. Now, while I love Ululani's shave ice, I am not a big fan of using shave ice ice in my coffee. The ice melts way too fast and doesn't keep my drink cool for very long. Hence, the four stars. Regular ice cubes or even coffee ice cubes would be better, but it does the job and it's cheaper than other places at just under $6. They've improved quite a bit compared to when they first opened this location after having to close their Kihei shop for a while. I've watched as they quite literally were figuring things out as they went with the makings of the coffee, but they seem to have a better handle on everything now. If you want a bite to eat, they offer a handful of their greatest hits of baked goods like their banana and mango breads, scones, filled malasadas, cookies, and musubis. I recommend their filled malasadas (ube + lilikoi) and their mango/banana bread. Those are winners for sure.

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.

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.

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 !!!! ...

The sponge cake is so light, and the cream fillings are just as light, paired with fresh fruit. Nothing about it weighs you down.

But honestly, my suggestion is to go with the sampler box and get a slice of everything: strawberry, ube, mango, banana, matcha, and cookies and cream. You won't regret it. Just make sure to go early, because they sell out fast. Aside from the roll cakes, they also have bentos, musubi, and sandwiches, so there's plenty to love here. Shikeda does beautiful Japanese-inspired bento and patisserie, and if you have a sweet tooth but want something on the lighter side, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

Nice hot when it left in my hand and out the door we went. The taste is good as the sauce wasn't too salty and the rice was just right; not to hard or soft. The rice was still able to hold together and the additional furukaki was generous. Nice shop to try! Street parking was easy for us this time

Manju + Cookies = Manjookies!!! Get it? Lol!…read more I had this place called "Maui Manjookies" bookmarked on my places to visit on Maui, but ever since 2020, I stopped commuting to Maui on a weekly basis, so now when I do go to Maui for work, it's a rarity. Sold at a store called - "Mikes Mini Mart" in Kahului, you can get an array of different types of Manjookies. I was also told that Pukalani Superette also carries the Manjookies, but truthfully, I've never noticed the Manjookies, probably because I was sidetracked by their Chili Frrrrrrried Chicken, everytime I go to Pukalani Superette! Lol! Today, I finally got my Manjookie fix as one of my good friends - Nathan Y. brought me back a omiyage gift pack of Manjookies that consisted of - Lilikoi Pineapple, Strawberry, Matacha, Blueberry, Ube, & Cranberry Guava. What can I say about da Manjookies??? It is as advertised! The Manjookies have a different texture from traditional manju, & their unique fillings are not too sweet. I didn't eat all six Manjookies by myself, as I shared it with my ohana. I can see why folks would dig this treat, as it's like a hybrid of a manju & cookie!
