Momona Bakery doesn't only have great pastries and desserts (I love them!), they also have…read morewonderful lunch options like this salmon toast. Two slices of toast topped with cream cheese, smoked salmon, red onion, capers, and fresh dill, served with a side salad tossed in a balsamic dressing. They even include a lemon wedge to squeeze over your salmon. Such a thoughtful touch, and it's almost too pretty to eat. This is my very favorite thing to order here. Don't get me wrong, I drool over their pastries, especially the medialuna. But when I want a light lunch that is still filling and savory, this is it. Everything tastes fresh and put together with care. If you haven't been to Momona Bakery yet, go for the pastries, stay for the salmon toast.

Momona Bakery absolutely lived up to the hype. The pastry case alone is worth the visit--everything…read morelooked incredible, and it was honestly hard to choose just one item. I ended up trying the Mango Danish, and it was outstanding. The pastry was beautifully flaky, buttery, and crisp, while the mango filling was fresh, vibrant, and not overly sweet. Every bite tasted like a perfect blend of classic pastry and tropical Maui flavors. The bakery was clean, inviting, and smelled amazing the moment I walked in. The staff was friendly and efficient, even with a steady flow of customers. If you're in Maui and love pastries, Momona is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu.

After several years, I finally returned to Patticakes, now located further down lower Main Street…read more Their banana cake remains the best on the island, and I'm still a fan of the guava strawberry cake. The shortbread cookies were outstanding--deliciously buttery and melted in my mouth. Melissa, the manager, was both professional and very knowledgeable. When you enter the shop, you'll find yourself right by the kitchen, surrounded by an enticing selection of cookies, banana cakes, and other treats. If you love banana cake made with care, Patticakes is definitely a winner in Maui.

Eat them fresh and warm they practically melting in your mouth with butter dripping through every layer and just a hint of honey. Even after sitting a few hours they are still soft and gooey. If you've had Nanding's in Oahu, imagine that same buttery goodness, but with even more of that gooey center oozing out. Why!?! Why!?! Why did I eat the entire box myself without sharing? They are too good to put down. Ok when you're ready run don't walk to get these amazing butter rolls. Sorry no pic I ate them up.

We were lured by the cooling fresh petite mango bread so we split one. Of course, I needed coffee so I ordered a Bee Nutz, which was perfectly sweet and creamy. We picked up some spam musubis to go with house made teriyaki sauce and a spicy option with jalapeño. Everything was delicious and fresh - and although we didn't get our hands on the sold out hot malasadas, I'm glad we were able to snag something tasty. Will arrive earlier next time for those malasadas!

The sponge cake is so light, and the cream fillings are just as light, paired with fresh fruit. Nothing about it weighs you down. The strawberry and cream is my favorite, with the matcha strawberry coming in at a close second. But honestly, my suggestion is to go with the sampler box and get a slice of everything: strawberry, ube, mango, banana, matcha, and cookies and cream. You won't regret it. Just make sure to go early, because they sell out fast. Aside from the roll cakes, they also have bentos, musubi, and sandwiches, so there's plenty to love here. Shikeda does beautiful Japanese-inspired bento and patisserie, and if you have a sweet tooth but want something on the lighter side, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

While it's a bit of a turn off for me when there are no prices displayed for any of the items, I'll still support you at least one time. There was the spam only musubi and one with egg which is what left with me. Initial visual is that it's juicy because of all the space and rolled in furukaki which are both things that I love! Nice hot when it left in my hand and out the door we went. The taste is good as the sauce wasn't too salty and the rice was just right; not to hard or soft. The rice was still able to hold together and the additional furukaki was generous. Nice shop to try! Street parking was easy for us this time

A MUST HAVE WHEN IN MAUI…read more This has been my favorite place to eat so far in Maui, the dry noodle is super delicious & the broth that you eat on the side with is FLAVORFUL. The beef skewers are the perfect texture & flavor. We ordered 4 at first, & ended up ordering 2 more right after. Delicious! Our server Tiffany is soooo nice & attentive. Super sweet & gave us recommendations since it was our first time there. She also recommended the banana pancakes there (come before 11), we will definitely be back to try that before we leave. Overall 10/10 recommend!

I finally went up to someone as she was looking at the clipboard & asked. She apologized & we went right in. Had to get the drymein of course & the French fries.

Service was great & coming here is always so nostalgic. Till next time.

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 !!!! ...

Market Street is always busy and…read moreparking is not really available on the street unless you use the Parking Structure (which is a close walk) but I get lazy at times and want to park close by. Since it was Sunday, I decided today was the day. I'm not a big coffee connoisseur because of a health condition I have and caffeine can affect me but I do love coffee (even if it doesn't love me) but I'll usually go with a Tea option or Smoothie. I decided on a simple smoothie so I got the Keiki Smoothie with Banana, Strawberry and Apple Juice. I asked the waitress what sandwich is the most popular and she said the Turkey Pesto Melt and boy did that hit! It really was the BEST sandwich. It was on a crispy, flaky...and might I add...buttery croissant with thick slices of turkey, tomato, creamy pesto aioli and melted provolone! It came with some chips and dill pickle on the side. The only downside was the price-it was about $17 so I'm sure I'll treat myself once in a good while to this. My small smoothie was $8 but refreshing nonetheless. I love the vibes inside with hanging plants and art work throughout. There was someone doing remote work or school in the corner with her sleepy golden retriever next to her, a few locals outside and some visitors inside. The workers are friendly and I saw one clean the outside tables right away after a few parties left. A nice spot to hit up for some nice breakfast, lunch and a coffee with a friend.
