Pearl Island Bakery is one of the vendors at the Upcountry Farmer's Market Saturday mornings in Pukalani. European style baked goods using fresh locally sourced ingredients; so what she makes is dependent on the fruits she can get her hands on. She has sweet and savory treats, but I've only tried her sweet stuff so far. My favorites are the lilikoi cheesecake and strawberry cream crumb cake. Nice big slices of smooth and light creaminess. The cheesecake has a nice gelatin lilikoi layer. She is generous with the fresh strawberries folded into the strawberry cream crumb cake. Just stopped by this morning and picked up the strawberry pavlova slice (has mounds of merengue) and the banana cream crumb cake which is similar to the strawberry one. Delicious! For chocolate lovers, I heard the flourless chocolate torte is amazing. Personally, I love fruit pastries and baked goods, but I'm willing to try any of her baked goodies!

Rodeo's is the place to go for non-bakery treats in Makawao. Love this store, so many fun things to…read morefind and the staff is great. Local products including meat, eggs, fruit & veg are available, and rather reasonably priced. If you're not a Costco addict, you'll find the prices are equivalent to local grocery stores. We got farm eggs and local steak for less than what would be paid at Safeway or Foodland. Like many local stores, Rodeo offers warm ready to eat foods like spam musubi, breakfast wraps, and plate-lunch style meals at the deli counter. They also offer local and imported ingredients, including for some reason many products from Mexico. I picked up a dark Oaxaca mole here that was incredible. They have bottled Coke from Mexico as well. There's also a large selection of cold drinks, inexpensive and otherwise. A can of flavoured water costs $1, good deal and refreshing. Kombucha is available in bottles and on tap. Add to that a huge alcohol and tobacco selection, and an impressive cigar humidor! There's something for everyone here, and you gotta love the local general store ambiance. It's deceptive from the exterior how large the store is, and one would never expect the variety of products inside. Don't forget to ask the cashier for the answer to the sandwich-board joke of the day, or say hello to the shop kitty!

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!

Fresh pastries and Hawaiian grown coffee waft out of the welcoming open doors as you walk up. I order the coconut cold brew and pair it with either a fresh made ham & cheese croissant or a cinnamon roll and the pairing is a perfect way to start the day. The croissant is flaky, soft, and covered in melted cheese as you bite in. Cinnamon rolls are baked locally and you can end up going on a day with an Ube or Matcha option! You'll leave energized by coffee and conversation, ready for your next adventure.
