Housed in a cute but surprisingly spacious trolley car in the Kulamalu center, Crema Maui also offers t-shirts, earrings, coffee-related gear, plants, and other great accessories. There's a good sized outdoor seating area that's just right for early-morning quiet contemplation or for people watching later in the day as the nearby shops get busier, with music in the background that's comforting and peaceful (unlike the aural assault too many places seem to think means "hip" these days). I got a plain latte, which was perfectly done, and a chocolate cruffin, which was a decadent and delicious treat--flaky, with crunchy outer layers and soft center, filled with rich dark chocolate that was smooth and not too sweet. A wonderful way to start the day!

Here's your updated 5-star review:…read more Vida is such a gem in Makawao! The street-front parking is a huge bonus, and having restrooms available makes it an easy, comfortable stop. The lox bagel was absolutely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and those pickled onions took it to the next level. Truly top notch. The coffee was just as impressive. I tried the Thai Coffee and it was perfectly balanced, rich, and smooth. The seating areas feel intimate and cozy, whether you choose indoor or outdoor. It's the perfect spot for a relaxed morning, catching up with a friend, or even a first date. And as a real dog lover, the resident coffee shop retriever dogs made it even more inviting and special. They added such a warm, welcoming touch to the whole experience. I'll definitely be back!

Great service and decent coffee!…read more Came here for an early morning coffee the girls working were sweet. We ordered: White mocha: 3/10 LIGHT ROAST Espresso tasted burnt and I could taste it more since my drink was not sweet at all which I actually expected it to be sweet. Lavender Latte: 7/10 LIGHT ROAST I think this one tasted better because of the added sweetness I could not taste the espresso as much!

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.

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!

As we stepped in front of this establishment the owner also did mention she makes iced coffee if we don't prefer it hot.
