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!

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!

There were RACKS of them!! In addition to customers lining up to buy them. That's how you know they're good! One lady told me that the butter rolls are good too, so I bought some of them to try. 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. One was getting what seemed to be phone orders prepared and the other two were checking people out. They take credit card in addition to cash! Parking: Need to find street parking in the area or try the lot behind the store. They were super friendly too.

In an old grocery store turned famous for the doughnuts in a stick, it's worth a stop to support a local business that offers a big variety of treats. Malasadas, cream puffs and a variety of breads that are fluffy and tasty looking. We lucked out as there was only a couple of folks in front of us. On the weekends, I imagine it is busy. 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!

We went around 10:30am on a Monday and there were still plenty of cinnamon rolls available. Only two items were sold out, the ham and cheese croissant and something else. Staff are super friendly!!

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.

There might be a line but it was so cool to go somewhere like this while in Maui!…read moreI got the banana cream and the Olowalu lime pies; wasn't expecting it, but the lime was definitely my favorite. Didn't get the opportunity to sit inside, but would love to, esp since they have other food items (think savory) available. From what I saw, it looks bustling but cozy. Picked up a thermal bag that I can use as a lunch bag here at home. If I ever make it back to Maui, I definitely wanna make a stop here again.

We were about 4th in line but the line moves pretty fast. They typically only allow 2 people/pairs at a time as it is very small inside. When people dont adhere to the rules things tend to back up. These are a must try if you love butter with your bread. I swear each roll has half a stick of butter. I also purchased 6 Spanish rolls to compare against Nandings on Oahu. Just as good. After we inhaled about 8 rolls and 3 Spanish rolls the next day, my cousin put the remaining rolls into the airfryer and OMG, didn't think they could get better but they did. Highly recommend but be sure to go early!

I've tried a lot of pastries, but this is officially my favorite croissant spot. George surprised…read moreme with breakfast in bed this morning from Momona and I'm always blown away. We had the Nutella and the Lilikoi, and they are absolute units--massive, beautiful and perfectly executed. The pastry is light and incredibly fluffy, but stays dense and decadent because they don't skimp on the filling (it's actually in the center, not just a garnish on top!). The Lilikoi was a total standout--bright, fresh, and perfectly tart. I found myself breaking off the flaky layers just to dip them into that golden center. If they sold it in jars, I'd be the first in line. If you're looking for the best bakery on the island, this is it! XOXO, ChelsieFletcher

I thought the shape of this croissant was funny and I did want to try something guava. I did find it to be dry and quite bready? I've never had the cube croissant before so perhaps this is just the style of them. I liked the guava filling but thought the cube croissant part was okay. It did seem like this one had more dough than filling. - Lilikoi Croissant (between $6 and $7) - I found that this croissant was not really flaky. There was a really good filling to croissant ratio in this one. However, I did appreciate the strength of the lilikoi flavor in this croissant, and the filling did taste fresh. - Macadamia Nut Latte ($6.85)- we both got ours iced, 12 ounce and with regular milk. We honestly enjoyed these lattes more than the croissants. The macadamia flavor came through quite strong (in a good way) and was pretty unique. There is a small parking lot and lots of seating inside. We saw a couple chickens wandering around outside when we grabbed our pastries.

Aloha fellow BES' Kine Goodies Seekers!…read more I LOVE MANUELA MALASADAS so.stop by every time I go to Costco! 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 !!!! ...

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.
