This is my stop for the best artisan bread and pastries. I got up early, to get there before they sold 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.
Best Hawaiian muffins ever! So good. Dong pass up on the lillikoi bun either! Service was quick and very kind. It's in a cute little plaza by snorkel bobs and that's a wrap. It's a must!
My wife and I were a big fan of this place during our stay in Maui! My wife loved the banana bread, it was delicious and moist! I love the ube mochi. It had strong ube flavors and the texture was perfect. Parking is a small lot but enough parking. I highly recommend when you're in Maui!
We love this bakery, and make sure to visit it several times during our visit to Maui. It's always a good idea to get there early before everything is gone. I especially love their macaroons and extra long coconut biscotti, but this year I found their Chocolate Pretzel Croissant outstanding!! The salty and sweet just made it perfect. Of course their breads and rolls are yummy too! Staff is always helpful and welcoming. We'll be back next year.
This shop has the best breads. Parking lot is small and shared with quite a few shops but people seem to come and go alot so be patient and you'll snag a spot. There is so much to choose from I picked the cinnamon roll and a lilikoi filled pastry. There are a few tables outside but decided to take them home. Both were SO good, I will definately buy these again. The cinnamon roll was so soft and tender and the pastry had so much filling. Be sure to go early for the best selection they sell out quickly of many items. There is usually a line of people waiting for them to open at 7.
Another visit to Maui and another beautiful morning on the beach with a breakfast treat from Maui Bread. They have many options to choose from. It's hard to walk away with only one or two items. They have some warm items like ham and cheese twist, pineapple and cheese twist. Oh no, I am making myself hungry, might need to go back.
Cute little shop with fresh pastries- definitely worth the stop. We ordered the Pina colada sweet bun, pretzel croissant, and Pineapple & ham twist. The bread is so soft when you bite in to it. The pina colada sweet bun is moist and has pineapple & coconut shavings- I would order this every time. The pretzel croissant perfectly flakey, soft, & salty. The pineapple & ham twist had that sweet & savory mix. Parking- parking lot shared with other businesses
We love visiting Maui Bread company when we're in Kihei! There are plenty of breads and pastries to choose from. They also have a lovely display area with little jars of jellies, butters, and chutneys with different flavors - lilikoi (passion fruit), guava, mango, and coconut pineapple! We got the Lilikoi Sweet Bun, Pina Colada Sweet Bun, and the Paprika, Onion, Cheese Roll. While we enjoyed them all, the Pina Colada Sweet Bun was my personal favorite. The Lilikoi Sweet Bun was pretty tart and was FILLED with lilikoi jam.
they have such wonderful food in although you have to get there early because they sell well worth the early morning rise from your to your custard and meat You can find anything you want here and if you can't, you can grab unbaked dough and take it home and make it yourself. The employees are very courteous and very genuinely helpful so be sure to ask
Every visit I have in Maui I stopped by for their ginger Cookie. Every encounter I have is pleasant. Today I came in to take some for my workers to try their POG bread for our red eye flight back. The very special person Elfie helped me choose some options. I was glad to try some Macadamia Cookie, Ginger Cookie and Pog loaf bread. Thank you for your hospitality will visit sometime soon again when work takes me back
We came here a couple of times during our time here and thought overall the baked goods were pretty good. We had the macnut muffin, pretzel croissant (both sell out frequently we were told), the chocolate croissant, and the cheese, paprika and onion bread. The macnut muffin was the best of these pastries. Very fresh and good but also more like a muffin top since it's small. The pretzel croissant lived up to its name and tasted like both things -- was good but it had a bit too much salt. The cheese bread had too much onion in it and the seeds in it were a pleasant surprise (even though the ingredients did not list the seeds). The chocolate croissant was a huge disappointment. It was literally a croissant cut open and filled with chocolate chips -- the chocolate was not even melted. The staff here are friendly and it's nice that have ku'ia chocolate here -- we went on a chocolate tour on a prior visit and it was nice that they sold the chocolates there without having to go to that chocolate store. It's very good chocolate!
Really cool counter-service bakery with baked goodies. The coffee selection is limited with one hot and one cold option. I had the sweet roll guava in the middle and the guava juice. Both were not overly sweetened and were a huge portion in my opinion (sorry for no pic, next time). Seating is outside and the staff is supppppper friendly. You can smell the baking dough from the parking lot. There is ample free parking and other shops in the complex to visit. I would totally recommend!!!!

This was a great unexpected find. I was at the coffee shop next door and noticed this bakery. We wanted some pastries to eat with our coffee so it was the perfect compliment. The great thing is that they are traditional German bakers that also incorporate local Hawaiian ingredients. It's the best of both worlds and my exact heritage. My mom is from Germany and my dad born and raised in Hawai'i. The owners were very friendly and told me about some of their unique baked items. We even spoke a little German. They do a great job of displaying their products in a very clean and well lit location. They maintain the aesthetic of clean German lines, with a touch of local wood shelves. read more
We wanted to try out some pastries one morning, and we stopped by here because it was near us. My friend got a pastry and ate it right away. I got some to save for later. The Hawaiian Sweet Bread and the POG Sweet Bread were both good; the Hawaiian bread was softer and more crumbly, messier to eat. The Pretzel Croissant was good, but way too salty for me, just like how salty a salted pretzel would be. My bf got the Peanut Butter Cookie, and he loved it. Staff was very friendly. read more
This is our first time in Maui and my mom said it's strange to be in Hawaii and see no Asians. This is one of those establishments in Kihei which is literally all white people both working and frequenting the store. The bakery is similar to any high end bakery you would find in San Francisco, excellent set up with beautifully presented and packaged breads. We had the pina colada bread, pretzel croissant, and pretzel. Don't forget to ask for the mustard that comes with the pretzel. There's nothing that feels local about this place expect for the tropical themed pastries. Still if you simply want outstanding baked goods, this is the place for you! read more

If you're looking for real bread in S Maui, or a baked treat, check out Maui Bread. Offerings may vary a bit from day to day but options typically include banana bread (including a GF version), other sweet bread like mango or pumpkin, pretzels, muffins, cookies, rolls, twists, scones, and of course lots of bread choices (for many, you can choose a full or half loaf). They also have chocolate bars/gift packs and various types of preserves. It's all made locally and it's all fantastic :) read more
I'm sooo happy I got to stop by Maui Bread on my last day of the trip. It was the perfect way to start the morning and to pick up some pastries to bring home. Line was out the door, and I was overwhelmed with what to door (bc everything looked SO delicious) but I chose POG bread, Hawaiian bread, and the famous pretzel croissant. - POG bread - subtle flavors of guava, but the orange stands out. Gorgeous pink loaf and has a fruity/citrusy flavor. - Hawaiian bread - my favorite! Loaded with coconut, raisins, carrot, pineapples and mac nuts. This with a hot coffee is divine. - Pretzel croissant - tastes like a lighter pretzel bagel(?), the outer layer is topped with salt and the dough inside is buttery goodness. read more

Maui Bread is conveniently located in a small strip mall with parking right up front. They have tons of merch available, no seating indoor and a few outdoor tables. We ordered a variety of bread, one coconut cold coffee and one regular hot coffee. Their coffees are on the strong side for my preference and their bread is fair, nothing I would crave or rave about. Their customer service was available, not over the top friendly or over accommodating but available to answer questions. read more
Pretzel croissant was unique and flavorful. Highly recommend. Chocolate croissant was decent as well, mousse inside not just hard piece of chocolate. Friendly service and helpful staff. Clean and organized and efficient. Will come back read more

This bakery was named Yelp's #72 best restaurant in the US for 2023! When I walked in, I was hit with the smell of freshly baked goods. Although I was immediately attracted to the pastries at the front counter, I had to browse their entire shop. They specialize in two types of artisan breads: Hawaiian and German. They also offer mochi, cookies, and a good selection of gluten-free options. It took us some time to decide what we wanted since everything looked scrumptious. When we asked, the employee said her favorites were the Hawaiian Muffin and Almond Croissant. The four of us each selected a pastry for breakfast and we grabbed a loaf of bread to enjoy during the rest of the week. + ALMOND CROISSANT ($5.49): The crisp and flaky pastry housed the smoothest buttery almond mousse. It was so light, but bursting with a rich almond flavor. Get this! + PIÑA COLADA SWEET BUN ($5.19): A soft pillowy bun flavored with pineapple and coconut around the edges. This one was both sweet and a little tart. It would pair nicely with a coffee or tea. + LILIKOI SWEET BUN: This light bun had some lilikoi jam filled in the center and also dabbed on top. The bun itself is plain, which allows the slightly tart passion fruit flavor to shine. + UBE BREAD LOAF ($13, GF): This was my least favorite item, but I think we just incorrectly assumed it would be a sweet bread when it wasn't. It was surprisingly a little salty and I didn't really taste any ube. It was also on the denser side, but I found it a little better when heated up. While we didn't love the ube bread, we all enjoyed the pastries! They were such a treat for breakfast. This bakery is only open Friday through Tuesday, which is a pretty unique schedule. We had to be at the airport early on a Friday, but if we had a little more time, I guarantee we would have stopped in again to grab some baked goods before our flight. 4.75 stars. read more
My dad loves this place so when I was visiting him we stopped in. He recommended a very boring looking muffin, the Hawaiian muffin. My goodness did it surpass expectations! It was the perfect subtle blend of macadamia, pineapple, and coconut and the texture was just perfection. We also ordered an almond croissant which is my go to order all over. This was one pleasantly unique in that instead of being filled with marzipan, it had a light airy almond cream in the middle. Both were so delightful that the camera did not eat first!! read more
Very boutique bakery with breads, cookies, and pastries. A taste of Hawaii with a freshly baked Hawaii muffin. Muffin is a mix of macadamia nuts, pineapple, coconut and topped with a crunchy streusel of the same. The PINA COLADA pastry had coconut, pineapple in the center of pastry. They sell gluten free breads too. read more

Small bakery in Kihei that sells fresh bread and pastries. I love their pre-made coconut iced coffee, however--expensive at around $9. The serving is tall but not sure how $9 for coffee seems to be the standard. My husband got their lilikoi sweet bun which was unfortunately too sweet. read more
What an amazing way to start your morning. With cases and cases of options we couldn't narrow down our choices and ended up ordering a bunch of pastries and breads. I split the pina colada & the lilikoi pastry. Both were 5/5 amazing, I wish I could eat this every morning. I personally was not the biggest fan of the pretzel croissant, however the staff said it was very popular and my entire family loved it. They also have K' dogs! read more
3.5 stars but rounding up since they have some unique baked goods, and a large variety of items to choose from. As a bonus, they also have homemade jams and butters for sale. Maui Bread is located in the same small plaza as Maui Fish'n Chips and a few other businesses. They still have a layer of plexiglass separately their staff from the customers. Make sure you come early if there is something specific you want to try, since they were already busy at 8:45am on a Tuesday. They only had a few lilikoi sweet buns remaining, but it didn't seem like anything was sold out quite yet. There was a short line when I arrived, but I was in and out in 5-10 minutes. I tried: [https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=hjAOA5DILhTvY5aVfrWwRQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg] -Lilikoi Sweet Bun ($5.49): Sadly, just ok; however, I did try this the day after, and I'm sure that changed the consistency somewhat. I liked the slight tartness of the filling, and the lilikoi flavor; however, I wasn't a fan of the gel-like consistency. -Jette/"Pretzel" Croissant ($4.89): Yum- this was my favorite out of the items I tried. I liked that the croissant was flaky and buttery, but it had the crisp of the pretzel on the exterior, and a slight chewiness. Recommended! -Hawaiian Muffin ($4.99): This muffin was fluffy and moist, but there were too many shredded coconut flakes for my preference. I would order another muffin, but would skip ordering the Hawaiian muffin again. Although prices are on the higher side, Maui Bread is worth checking out at least once, since they do offer items you won't really see anywhere else on Maui. I appreciated their items were clearly labeled, and prices were also easy to see. There were some tables available for outdoor seating. Parking was easy to find at the time since it was early, and this plaza wasn't busy yet. read more

Thank you for taking your time to write this review and for sharing…
YES, reference the other reviews and check out this lovely place. It has a nice neighborhood bakery ambiance with a good vibe from the regulars and some extraordinary bread that just takes control of your mouth. While enjoying our coffee and breakfast at the Cafe La Plage next door, we were able to witness the continuous circulation of people going in and out of the bakery, which naturally led us to explore our curiosity. The owner lady greeted us with a big smile and shared many jokes with my son, and the Hawaiian muffin that the older gentleman recommended was so OMG good - no wonder why it gets sold out quickly! read more

Holy crap these reviews aren't lying about the food. The most amazing being the CHOCOLATE pretzel croissant. That is one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. So good!! We also got a Hawaiian muffin which was great and my autistic son annihilated the lilikoi sweet bread. I'll attach a pic of his massacre We have Hawaiian bread loaf for tomorrow and mango jelly to take home. Do yourself a huge favor and try the first item at least!!! read more

Maui Bread has alot of variety in baked goods and sweets. It's worth a try. I got several treats -- the pretzel croissant, banana bread, chocolate chip mochi (not pictured), and chocolate chip cookie. I felt the items were too sweet for my preference, especially the mochi and cookie. You've got to pair it with a drink. However, note that if you want to order drinks, they don't really have a drinks menu so you can go next store to a cafe. Still a good experience to try out this bakery. read more

Maui Bread is pretty unique in their offerings. Coming from Southern California, we have stiff competition and I've seen my fair share of unique bakery options but Maui Bakery was truly a treat. The one downside is the pastries are pretty pricey. The pretzel croissant was the more unique items that I've truly not seen anywhere else. The combination of a slight burnt taste with the chewy texture of a pretzel, combined with the natural buttery mouth-feel of a croissant truly makes for an interesting treat. I would highly recommend trying it at least once. read more

This place was amazing! Here's the rundown of the things we tried. Take into account that this is the overal consensus from 3 people (1 local 2 haoles) Pretzel Croissant: an absolute must. This was easily the best item on the menu and sold out at 8 am the next day when we went in to buy more. I dream of these croissants and am insanely saddened to know that I will be unable to taste them again. Truly phenomenal and you would be a fool not to try one Pog bread: cute color, lacking in strength of pog flavor, probably wouldn't buy again but I'm glad I tried it Pog juice: best I've ever had in the state. Freshly squeezed, and AMAZING. Very expensive but absolutely worth trying once Pro tip is to dip the pog bread in the pog juice and you will be winning!!! It was an amazing combo together Kdog: very tasty, good balance of mozzarella cheese, hot dog, sausage, and warm fluffy bread Ube Mochi: pretty good, lacking a little in strength of flavor Pineapple bun thing (forget the name): least favorite and wouldn't get again. You only get a little bit of flavor in the middle and it just wasn't worth the price Lilikoi bun: AMAZING. Filled to the brim with lilikoi. Now, be sure to realize that they make this with real lilikoi so it's sour authentically to the fruit. Kids probably wouldn't be a fan but if you love real lilikoi this is a pastry for you Service: great! The lady was super friendly and kind, gave a bunch of great recommendations, cracked jokes with us, and helped bag stuff that wasn't even from her bakery. Amazing woman, 100000/10 The inside of the store was clean and well lighted, outside was nice and had plenty of seating. Only tip is to COME EARLY to get the selection of goodies you want! read more
We are regulars here. Quality/Quantity - One of the best bakeries on the island, plus the 2020 addition of the German breads took them to the next level. Small selection of baked goods, but done well. I believe the actual bakery is at the end/elbow of the mall. Got our usual Hawaiian Bread - MacNut, coconut, raisins, pineapple, carrot. And a Ginger Snap Cookie for my daughter - so so good, I almost ate it for her, LOL. Atmosphere - Open 5 days a week from 7am to 1pm, closed on Wednesday and Thursday. Limited outdoor seating, most people take to-go. Met a German couple while shopping, but they were here for Hawaiian products, which makes sense... Service - Good. Price - Above average, but you have to pay for quality. $4.79 for a cookie. $7.69 for Hawaiian bread. Plus tax. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2016 and new ownership since 2020. See you soon. read more

Yummy! We really enjoyed the pastries that we got from this bakery. We went a little overboard and ordered $50 of pastries to share between 2 people for breakfast. Our favorites were the K-dog (basically a kolache, with a hot dog and cheese inside), the chocolate croissant (filled with generous hazelnut chocolate), the walnut banana bread, and the Hawaiian bread. We thought that the bacon cheese bread and the cinnamon roll were more generic, and probably would skip those next time. Definitely would come back here again! read more

Thank you for your detailed review and for coming in to grab a good…
Stopped by here to grab some breakfast with the family before starting the day. Parking lot was pretty wide open so we had no issue getting a spot up front. It's a grab and go type place so we couldn't resist and grab a whole bunch of stuff. For breakfast we got a ham and pineapple twist, ham, egg, and cheese bread, a Hawaiian muffin, a coconut coffee and a POG juice. We also got guava butter, ube mochi, a macnut cookie, a peanut butter bacon cookie, and POG bread to take for later. All the bread was really good, the ham, egg, and cheese specifically was pretty big and filling. The twist was also super solid, the pineapple really was baked into the bread. The coffee was also very solid, not too sweet and had a good amount of coconut flavor. Most memorable treat we took back was the peanut butter bacon cookie, an absolute must get. If you want a nice quick breakfast, this is absolutely a spot you have to visit for all your carb related needs. read more

Been waiting to come back to this bakery for over a year. Just so that we had a wedding to attend, we booked our stay near this bakery so we can have these for breakfast. Their breads are not overly sweet. Loved the muffins and the loaf. Tasty as always. read more
Stop by for a delicious breakfast but make sure to go early cause they sell out fast. We got there at 7:30 and got the last of the bacon cheddar twist, plus a couple of cinnamon rolls and pretzel croissants. The bacon cheddar twist was my fave...bread was chewy with the right amount of cheese and bacon. The pretzel croissant was my wife's fave as she said it's not buttery like your typical croissant but has a crunch and taste of a pretzel. Finally the cinnamon roll was good, chewy texture but I wanted more cinnamon filling. Great owners who run the shop. Buy local and grab some pastries and bread from this establishment read more
