    Goodies from our first purchase at Tutu's
    Lynda H.

    Great source for Hawaiian jams and jellies, hot sauces and other food items. The owner waited on us while we were there and was eager for us to sample the jams and jellies before we made our decision. We ended up purchasing a couple we had tasted, and other items including chocolate. We even stopped by before we left to purchase a few more items to take home. I'm sure we'll be ordering from her website when our supply runs low. If you are a foodie or just like to eat, check this place out for yummy Hawaiian stuff.

    We recently were on a family trip to Maui and came upon this little gem. We walked in and were greeted by Ellie and Chad who were more than willing to help us find some things to take back home. Ellie had us sample all the different hot sauces and the kids tried several chocolates. Chad introduced us to 808 elixirs and gave us one to take with, everyone loved it. We ended up getting quite a few things which we have been enjoying since we've been back to Arizona. If your looking for fun experience with great people look no further than Tutu's Pantry !!!!

    Glued on mango saltwater taffy.

    I purchased for $11 a bag of mango salt water taffy. The customer service person, who works at Wailea Landscaping and also Tutu pantry, told me this is the best saltwater taffy. She said she gave it to her relatives. I paid $11 cash and went out to my car to open up the bag of saltwater taffy. The saltwater taffy was glued to the paper. I got it all over my hands and the only way to get it off was to pull off with teeth- got all over face.The paper was to pull it with my teeth. I thought to myself saltwater taffy was not made, right I took it back in and told the lady at the counter but the issue was she said oh it's just hot. You need to put it into the refrigerator. I know that you're not supposed to put saltwater taffy in a refrigerator because it gets very hard and you cannot bite down on it. She asked me if I wanted a different bag. I said no, and she started squeezing the pieces of salt water taffy. I would've thought that she would've opened one of them, but she did not. I just asked for my money back. She said I have to call the owner. My wife is handicap so she was just leaving from getting a massage. So I said just forget it you keep the bag and I left. I would think that if a person has an issue with a product you can get your money back. I am not just a tourist. I've been to Maui for the last 28 years and stay here for 8 to 10 weeks a year. I've even gone into the shop and purchased other things.

    Had a wonderful experience at this store. I was trying to figure out a gift and the owner gave me numerous samples of honey, caramel, and jam. I loved that all the items came from Hawaii, and they were all delicious based on what I tried. Highly recommend the honey and caramel.

    New location, same locally-sourced specialty food products! Their spices take your cooking to the next level. We purchased their oil and vinegar, along with an assortment of rubs and spice blends, and we're very pleased with all of the above. Their lilikoi curd is phenomenal, and the lilikoi concentrate makes a great base for cocktails! Pop by the shop and chat with Reef, she will point you towards all the deliciousness you didn't know you needed!

    Great place to buy unique sauces, spices, coffees, candles, keepsakes, jewelry and so much more! I spent way too much time here and bought Christmas gifts for family and friends. All locally made on the islands. Bring Auntie, Mom, cousins and the entire ohana the next time you are in Kihei. They are located in Rainbow Mall next to Lena's nails and Beautiful Skin Wailea. Staff super friendly and full of aloha! They will let you sample sauces too! Great find to buy for that picky person on your shopping list. There is something there for everyone. Stop by and check it out before Christmas! Great stuff for making gift baskets too!

    I'm not surprised that Ellie's shop has such high reviews. She's bubbly, sweet, and clearly enjoys meeting her customers. Ellie offers samples for most items and went above and beyond with introducing products and offering recommendations. I saw one of the same items for a few dollars cheaper at a nearby shop, but don't mind spending a tad more since this is a great one-stop shop for (mostly) food souvenirs. There also non-food items on offer. I bought an assortment of things for gifts and am glad to know that what I sampled will be well received. If it weren't for the samples, I would have bought significantly less. It's the Costco sample effect: you don't know that you need to buy it until you taste it! Even if the things that I couldn't have as a sample (last item in stock and the other was a pancake mix) are not what the recipient cares for (picky eater), I'm still happy to have supported local Maui businesses and Ellie's business. Check out the Tutu's Pantry online shop if you want something shipped off-island. Ellie mentioned that there are sometimes online only specials!

    Here's a receipt to show you how I know what the cashier's name was and that I was actually there :)

    Maskless during a global pandemic and openly and proudly flouting the indoor mask mandate. Went in to browse and discovered both the owner and cashier (Tiana) were maskless. This is a fully indoor and air conditioned establishment. When I asked the cashier why she wasn't wearing a mask, she proudly said that the owner allows people to wear a mask or not. I informed here that there was still a state mask mandate and she proudly said that as a business, they are free to do as they like. It's hot and they don't like wearing masks is what she told me. No shit sherlock! No one loves wearing a mask! You don't wake up thinking "oh I can't wait. I'm so excited to put on a mask today!! Yippeee!" This is the epitome of entitled and selfish. Add in cultural appropriation by having a store named "Tutu's Pantry" when the last thing they care about is your vulnerable and older Tutu catching covid. The irony of this store's name is hilarious. You truly can't make this stuff up. If you (or your Tutu) wanna catch covid, this is THE place to go to :)

    The owner will not honor the 15% discount on the products. Order over $300 of chocolate. I will take business somewhere else. Suggest everyone go to another place. By the time I was going to order them, it was all out of stock. I even sent an email a day before the sale started to find out if the store would honor the 15% or not. Never got a callback. When I called the store in the afternoon, I was told it did not apply to the chocolate that I ordered or that they did not have 20 bags to sell to me. I said I was able to place 20 bags at 14.45 = $289 + $32 shipping in my cart this morning. The store still won't honor it. I have proof and it is in the attached picture. Just lost a customer.

    Great vibes from employee at my time of visit. Employee at the time was Rosie, & she was very engaging. Led me to the products I needed & was very informative. Happy positive vibes all around. Presentation of store was meticulous. I would definitely recommend this store, pay them a visit!

    Love Tutu's Pantry. They have amazing smoked salts, spices and butters. Easy to place online orders. I'll keep going back for more.

    I highly recommend the "Island Butter" and either the "Guava BBQ sauce" or "Pineapple BBQ sauce".

Tiki Thai has flavors that align with what we normally eat at home (Lao food) and we weren't disappointed. The only thing I would say is that I didn't prefer was the sausage as it was a bit more tangy as I'd I like, BUT that's not to say it wasn't good just not my vibe. We ordered a lot and it took a bit for them to prepare but it was understandable given we wanted to have a bit of everything. We always strive to support local wherever we are and felt accomplished that we were able to do that plus be able to support our Lao/Thai/Esan Island peeps while on this trip. :) Everything was tasty so you can't go wrong here!

One of the things I really loved--something that truly made me feel like a kid in a candy store--was their in-shop camera.

It added such a fun and unique twist to the experience--something I've never seen in a shop before. Definitely an extra treat if you ask me! Here's what we ordered and how we rated it: Mint Chocolate Chip & Coffee Ice Cream - 5/5 This combination was a pleasant surprise! Creamy, smooth, and perfectly balanced, the flavors blended together in a way I didn't know I needed until that very first bite. If you were have a sweet tooth...please be sure to stop by, as I believe you will not regret it!

    We've owned a home in Kihei since 2015, and yet, had never been to Thai Bistro. So, today, we…read morefinally realized maybe we should give it a try? The lunchtime meal was *amazing*! I had Thai-Railway Fried Rice, which has diced, cooked NY steak chunks, in a bed of brown rice, as well as peas, carrots, scallions, Maui onions (yum!), with an egg over easy on top, with toasted onions. I dialed the spicyness at "medium". It was *perfect*! My wife had Pad Thai with chicken, and she left it at the default spicyness (medium), which ended up being too hot for her, but she soldiered on nevertheless enjoying the wonderful flavor. Perhaps because of the noodles and curry, the spiciness of the Pad Thai seemed much stronger than the Thai-Railway fried rice dish. Of course, we had leftovers and I'll probably end up eating hers, and she'll eat mine. The service was prompt, and the girl waiting on the tables was courteous, with a beautiful smile. The restaurant is deceptively roomy, seeming to be smaller from the outside, but once inside, it was quiet, clean, with comfortable chairs, clean tables, and large windows to enjoy some of Kihei's views (like today's gentle rain). As with most things these day on Maui, where everything comes in a shipping container, food costs are very noticable. Our meal, including thai ice tea and a soda, with a coconut ice-cream to finish it was about $44/person. Not cheap, but also not as bad as, say, Tommy Bahamas.

The food is prepared well and there are plenty of options. The table service is great and they bring you a cool bottle of water to pour. Appropriately lit for a romantic scene with someone or just to enjoy your meal. One thing that is obvious is there a/c is set at a higher setting (81 when we were here) and you might need to fan yourself when you get in from outside. Managment please just turn down the A/C a bit and you will most likely get five stars. Thanks for a nice lunch meal.
