Ah this place is so good we went twice during our short trip!…read more 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!

Well the things I had were really good. But they were sold out by the time we stopped there…read more The ube macarons were really good! But the highlight was the mini banana cream chocolate pie! It was evil and so delicious!!! major regrets of not buying the last one. I think a cup of coffee would have been a nice pairing. Service was decent. I mean they were closing and had hardly anything left. But we're very nice. It's a very cute shop and smelled very good when we walked in. They do not take cash just in case You intend to use cash.

This is my stop for the best artisan bread and pastries. I got up early, to get there before they…read moresold out of the goodies I've been thinking about. I really like that I can select from the old world German Artisan collection and the Hawaiian Artisan baked goods. I snagged the Isabelle, a loaf of bread made of spelt (dinkel wheat, high in protein, fiber, and antioxidants) and rolled in an assortment of seeds. The texture is soft and the crust is slightly chewy. Just right and the taste is very satisfying. I can't bring myself to putting a slice into the toaster, though, because I don't want to risk losing any of the seeds. I'll be fine with the broiler and some butter. I also went for the Hawaiian Bread. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. It has pineapple, toasted coconut and tiny soft raisins. The bread is moist from the pineapple juice and the loaves are small. I could finish one off in a setting but I resisted the urge. I also bought extras for sharing and had to pass them out quickly before temptation called. I'll return soon.

Came twice. First time with the lilikoi bun. I wanted…read moresomething unique. And it was. The bun was not exactly tasty almost plain/dry, but the filling was quite tart. Almost too much. I did enjoy overall. The cinnamon roll was not hot from the oven, so I avoided disappointment. Next time I got the almond croissant. Pretty tasty. Basically they cut the croissant in half, filled in the cream and put the top back. Odd. Better between the two. Might be too sweet for some. Prices are higher than other places. I don't think you'll find anything subpar. Seems like good offerings.

This was one of our favorite spots on Maui! I was really hoping to try chocolate haupia pie. We…read moreended up here at Maui Pie. We got a slice of chocolate haupia pie to share, which was $7. They had other fruit pies and their April special, a matcha strawberry pie. I really liked the pie! I feel like some coconut desserts can be too coconutty, but this had the write balance of both coconut and chocolate. It didn't feel like one flavor was overwhelming the other and it was silky and smooth. There are tons of parking spots in the area and food as well! The staff here was friendly as well and the shop is pretty cozy to hang out in. If I ever visited Maui again, I'd come back to visit this shop.

Ordered the key…read morelime, banana cream, and lillikoi pie slices from here, and we were given an extra slice of key lime because the crust broke off. The key lime and lillikoi pie textures were both nice and smooth, with strong fruit flavor. The key lime was tart and not too sweet, and both pies were indulgently rich. The crust was really well made, perfectly flaky. The service was great, and it seemed pretty empty inside when we visited, but if we weren't so full from lunch, we definitely would have stayed and enjoyed the ambiance. The decor was super cute!

The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly, and the portions were generous. Service was friendly and welcoming, making it an easy, relaxed stop whether you're dining in or grabbing something to go.

Pulled up to Cafe Kaila about 10am and yeah... get one line. Nothing crazy though, about nine names…read moreahead of us. I was already doing the math and thinking , "Eh, we might be here awhile." But nah, good timing. People were finishing up, bussing tables, and bam, maybe 20-30 minutes tops. Not bad at all. While we was waiting, they come out with waffle samples for everyone in line. I mean... who does that? That's how you keep people from getting all hangry. Instant good vibes, the whole line outside was just smiling and waiting patiently. Finally get seated and both the hostess and waitress were super nice--real friendly, no rush, no attitude. In the front they had mushroom soup on the specials board, so we figured we go sample um. I had them bring a cup of soup out to start along with my wife's coffee. Gotta be honest--when I dipped my spoon in, I was already judging. Looked kinda thin, not creamy like other mushroom soups I've had. I was thinking, "Ahh here we go." Took one spoonful and immediately had to humble myself. That soup was money. Like, stop-talking-and-just-eat. My wife tried it and confirmed that this soup was "winnahs" . Deep mushroom flavor with the right amount of seasoning. It also came with a little piece of focaccia toast which I would have really enjoyed but had to take my wife's word for it since she ate um all . Should've ordered the bowl. Rookie mistake. For my main, I went with the original eggs Benedict. Portions were a little on the small side, but with the roasted potatoes, I was good. Didn't leave hungry, didn't need to loosen the belt--perfect middle ground. My wife got the strawberry waffles and yeah... those were legit. She's not a syrup person, so she asked for more whipped cream. The waitress comes back with a little mountain of whipped cream in the little silver ramekin. All in all, solid spot. Friendly people, ono food, and little touches that make you feel taken care of. We will be heading to Cafe Kaila again to try some other stuff like the "chicken and waffles", and next time, I'm not playing around with the soup. Bowl, Garans.

The parking lot is a bit tight upon arrival, but you can definitely drive around the back and check for availability there. I was pleased to find the line wasn't outside the door. It was pretty busy inside, for good reason. Their pastries and food options looked spectacular. As I observed seated customers, everyone appeared to be enjoying themselves and their treats. I was a little disappointed to see the pump bottles of syrup by the bar, as I would've loved to try a house made syrup. But nonetheless, I ordered a cortado with coconut milk and Mac nut flavoring. It was much smaller than I was used to from ordering cortados at other shops, but it was perfect. I wish I took a photo. Since I stopped by before returning my rental car in the afternoon, there wasn't that much of a wide variety of pastries left. However I was able to snag an Ube croissant. I saved it on my flight and ate it at home the following day. It remained super soft and fresh. The ube filling was light yet flavorful without being too sweet. The color was gorgeous. I'm not sure if you'll understand, but the croissant was flakey but not dry. It was airy, but still bready and full. It was hugeeee!! I'd compare it to half the size of my forearm lol. I only waited about 10 mins from entry to exit. After trying this shop, I would gladly wait outside on the steps if I had to. Can't wait to return and try some new items!!

Please make sure to give them a visit, the other comparable fruit stands are all in Hana.

The chicken pot pie was also 4/5 I thought it could use a bit more flavor but was extremely satisfied with size, texture, and chicken /veggie filling. The chicken was not chewy or dry. The puff pastry was flaky and flavorful. Overall, I'd return again. Even if just to get pie! (Note the pot pie takes longer to prepare)

The butter rolls were super soft and had a nice sweetness to them. I enjoyed them! The stick donut was AMAZING! I enjoyed pulling it off the stick. The glaze is delicious and the donuts have a crispy outside and soft, fluffy inside. So yummy! I'll definitely be back for more! There were three sweet ladies working in the store.

They have a small parking lot which was full of folks NOT in the store. Ugh! Luckily we were early which meant plenty of street parking. We tried all of our treats and my favorite is the vanilla custard malasada. They are generous with their filling and each of the items are fairly light. Oftentimes fried items become heavy once cooled. Not the cases here. Support this great local business!
