    Likikoi key lime pie
    Clarissa A.

    Longstanding bakery in Kihei famously known for their malasadas, which are good but a little dense for me (people do wait in line for these and when they are fresh they are the best). I'm actually a huge fan of their lilikoi key lime pie - that is fantastic! It's the right amount of sweetness mixed with the tartness of the lime and the creaminess hits the spot. Really would be great for a nice post beach treat (or if you can put it in a cooler, a nice beach treat!). Lots of great pastries are available too - scones and other types of pastries as well!

    IMHO I rarely get a chance to buy malasadas from Sugar Beach Bakery because they sell out early, and we're coming all the way from Ka'anapali. This trip we got lucky! It was an early April afternoon, and they still had a small selection of malasadas available. I snagged one chocolate filled, one vanilla filled, and two sugar dusted malasadas, $1.50 each, plus two streusel banana breads, $8.25 each and four regular banana breads, $8 each. The malasadas were for us; however, I thought the banana breads would make great souvenirs to bring back home. Back at the resort, we froze most of them, and on the morning of our departure, I carefully packed them in my luggage and carry-on bag as precious cargo going home! Customer service was excellent and friendly, as always! Get thee to Sugar Beach Bakery, next door to Ululani's!

    Ah this place is so good we went twice during our short trip! If the line is out to the parking lot expect to wait 30-45 minutes. It helps to order ahead but you will need to order the day before - they don't do same day orders. Also some things you can't order online like their musubis, etc. However you can still get their malasadas and croissants, etc. We tried all their malasadas and our favs were the coconut cream and the lilikoi (passion fruit). We also tried their mango bread which was moist and fruity (no chunks of mango in it though) and the lime pie which was lovely! However, I think the big surprise for me was that the malasadas are smaller than I expected. The first time I had a malasada was at Leonard's in Oahu which are like...the size of your hand. These are more like golf ball sized. They were still excellent but I think that just caught me off guard. But we still enjoyed them!

    A perfect bakery to start your day in beautiful sugar beach/Kihei! We waited approximately 45 minutes at 7:45 AM lol so definitely expect to wait but the pastries were worth it! Nothing in Hawaii is cheap when it comes to food, but this felt very reasonable and well priced!

    How did it take us this long to stop here, especially since we've been to the Farmer's Market next door so many times over the years. On vacation, who says you can't have malasadas for breakfast. No one, that's who. So, we stopped by on the way to the beach to finally try their malasadas, li hing, lilikoi, and haupia. Since we were early enough, it was made to order. Although all good, it was surprisingly the li hing that won us over so much, we got 2 more and a seasonal pumpkin to go.

    Hands down the best Malasadas in town! I'm half Portuguese and these are one of the best. I have tried multiple spots and they don't compare to Sugar Beach Bake Shop! If you're in the area and want a good Portuguese donut, you have to stop here! The service is amazing too!!

    7:30am and line out the door. They open at 6am. Right next door to the famous Shaved ice place (Ululani's). The line does go quicker than the shaved ice place though. Famous for the malasada-passion fruit, coconut crème, vanilla, mango, chocolate banana pie, mango lime pie, spam musubi (regular and jalapeño), spinach/mushroom/sausage quiche, every flavor macarons, and ice coffee...plus 3 bags of Hawaiian coffee for family back home...$186 later... Happy family. Eating all day check

    Honestly, overrated. The overflowing filling is completely deceiving there was very little filling actually inside. This led to the malasadas being dry and hard to finish. Not worth the wait and definitely food for the eyes instead

    Madison G.

    Amazing spam masubis (especially the jalepeno ones!) and pretty good malasadas! They only had vanilla and chocolate malasadas by 7:30am! Be ready to wait in line, but everything is homemade there!

    It was our last day and we went to get malasadas for breakfast before our hike. It was our first time trying malasadas and we thoroughly enjoyed them all. Each malasadas was $2.75 and we chose ube, passion fruit, and coconut. There was a good dough to cream ratio and can be quite filling. The dough was light with a denser middle. They remind me of the donuts from i'm donut but less fluffy. It's a small little bake shop located right next to Ululani's Shaved Ice on the left. They sell malasadas, pies (which were quite expensive - more than Leoda's Kitchen and Pie Shop), and drinks (matcha latte, etc). You can see the malasadas right on the counter when you walk in. The lady was nice and told us which ones were popular. I think if they sold more flavors it would be a hit like matcha since they already serve matcha drinks or any other ingredients they already have on hand.

    Sugar Beach is just down the road from many of the hotels and great beaches in Kihei. This little local bakery has some wonderful bakery items including malasadas. If you're looking for malasadas, I feel they have some of the best to be found on Maui! Deliciously sweet and soft with a creamy filling; it's hard to stop eating them. In fact, I found myself going back there every few days to get my fix of velvety dulcitude. My advice, buy a box with your +1, find a spot on a bench and give your taste buds a delightful infusion of of one of Hawaii's infamous treats while you watch the chickens and enjoy the outside Hawaiian weather.

    I love coming here for the malasadas as well as the spicy spam musubi. There is usually a line but it moves fast. I come pretty early and parking is not an issue then. If you can find a spot in the parking lot, you can try parking across the street by the beach. Whenever I'm staying in wailea, this is one of my first stops for the yummy goods! Coffee wasn't bad but it's really the malasadas that rock my boat here! My fav ones are coconut and ube. Cant wait to come back when I'm in Maui next year!

I got the bread with macadamia nuts because i love nuts and they drive me nuts - nuts were fresh enough, which added the crunchy texture to my soft moist bread - could be more moist but it was already satisfactory - i like how they sell smaller pieces rather than a whole loaf but also it was more pricey - not as fresh and as good as aunty sandy's but decent! rating: 3/5 - since this place focuses on cinnamon roll, the rating is heavily weighted towards the cinnamon, which did not meet the minimum expectations of what a basic cinnamon roll should be - if this place was called the banana bread place, id give it a 4/5 - quick service nothing much to note - very small store; grab and go vibes with some seats outside IG: @nom.noms.only
