Thanks for making my first impression a good one & for being my Kula Kups models:) Until next time. XOXO, ChelsieFletcher

Great Drinks, but the Customer Service is a Facade I've…read morevisited both of their locations and unfortunately received the same disappointing outcome both times. While the drinks taste great (even if the pricing could be better), the real issue is the owner's behavior. Do not be fooled by the fun, energetic, and polite image she displays on social media,it feels like a 100% facade. In person, she lacks basic customer service skills. There's no greeting, no "thank you," and not even a simple "we will be with you shortly." The wait times are very long, which happens, but to completely ignore customers while they wait is unacceptable. I originally wasn't going to leave a review, but after talking with my coworkers, I couldn't stay quiet. Almost all of them had similarly horrible experiences with the owner. It also brought up a concerning pattern regarding her social media, which exclusively highlights a specific "local" crowd and even brags about her local customer percentage. Although I am local, I don't look it. My coworkers who had terrible experiences are Filipino. The only coworker of ours who received great customer service fits the stereotypical "local" look. Coincidence? Based on our interactions, I highly doubt it.

They were having a 20% off kamaaina day so we decided to take advantage of the offer. The…read morerestaurant used to be a plantation store so the decor inside is a reminder of that. The items displayed on the shelves are for sale. The service here is stellar! We started with Passion Berry Iced Tea and Crab Pizza. The Crab Pizza has a creamy crab topping on a homemade crust. It reminds me of crab dip with pita bread- so yummy! The iced tea is fruity, really refreshing, and includes refills. For dinner we ordered the Prime Rib special and Korean BBQ Braised Short Rib. Both were served with garlic mashed potatoes and veggies. The Prime Rib was 14oz and cooked perfectly. The Short Rib was fork tender and well seasoned. I hope they offer Kamaaina deals more often!

I have been a Maui Cookie Lady fan for ten years! Up until November 2019, we visited Maui on an…read morealmost yearly basis. (Yes, we are way overdue to get back on island!) I had heard about the Maui Cookie Lady cookies in early 2016 and knew that I had to get one the next time we visited. At that time, the cookies were only available at various local markets that would get a delivery once or twice a week. There was no dedicated retail store then. In November 2016, it finally happened! I was able to find a small supply of Mitzi's, the Maui Cookie Lady's, cookies at the Market Maui (since closed). My first cookie was Da Half Baked - a chocolate chip cookie stuffed with Reese's, Snickers, AND Oreo! OMG...only a super creative cookie chef extraordinaire could have imagined such a delight! I knew that I would be a fan forever!! On every subsequent trip, I sought out the amazing cookies. It wasnʻt always easy to find them, as the batches were small and offered in very limited locations. I would be on a mission and never gave up until I found them. My friends and co-workers were always so excited when I brought them back a "world-famous Maui Cookie Lady" cookie when I returned from Maui. In late 2020, the year after my last trip to Maui, the Maui Cookie Lady opened up a retail shop in Makawao. I haven't been able to stop by in person yet, but I will be going the next time I visit. I tell all my friends about the cookies, and several have been able to stop by the cute shop. When I am lucky, a friend will bring back some ono cookies for me. The Maui Cookie Lady cookies are not like most of the cookies you are used to eating. The first thing that you will notice is that they are really big!! I like to say that they are "gargantuan"! The second thing is that they are made with creative ingredients that may be familiar to you, or they may be new. Many of the varieties incorporate local ingredients lilikoi, Kona coffee, and macadamia nuts. The combination of flavors will excite any cookie loverʻs taste buds. Donʻt worry if you are not local to stop by the shop in person. You can order cookies online, individually or via the monthly subscription box. If you are visiting and want to take a few home with you, know that they can be frozen and stay great when you want to enjoy them. They do not contain preservatives, which I think is a big plus. In addition to creating great cookies, Mitzi is a big supporter of the community. She helps with various fundraising efforts to help those in Maui. As a former teacher, she is connected to educators in Hawaiʻi and their special needs. Once I get back to Maui, I will visit the store and update this review. I can't wait!

This place is all about locally made ice cream with island-inspired flavors, and you can really taste the difference. The texture is rich and creamy, and the flavors feel authentic to Maui--whether you go classic or try something more tropical, it hits the spot.

This review is purely based on my personal preference. I love freshly made, small batch, artisan ice cream that are ALL NATURAL like the good old days, without any weird chemicals. Unfortunately, Roselani is not it. Their ice cream is full of synthetic flavors, stabilizers, texture enhancers, and food colorings in some. I had one taste and I could tell. Some flavors are better than others, but overall it's very industrialized. Won't return. Sad face.
