    Cookie Lab's truck was found near Wailea. Yummy and huge cookies that do not disappoint! Coconut, spice and chocolate chip. Check it out on Maui.

    L-R: Lilikoi Oatmeal, Ginger Spice, Chocolate Chunk Sea Salt - VN
    Vince N.

    I have yet to step foot inside their new digs that took over the old Tutti Frutti spot. However, I was gifted a 3-pack sampler of cookies. It would've been nice if the package was labeled properly with its contents. Lilikoi Oatmeal This was my favorite of the trio as it had the best flavor and texture, but not by much. The lilikoi drizzle wasn't overly sweet or pungent like the fresh fruit and complimented the cookie well. A layer of oatmeal lined the bottom of the cookie for a mouthful of oats. Ginger Spice My second favorite cookie but it was too soft - squooshy like a Peep candy, though the flavor was spot-on. Chocolate Chunk Sea Salt Horribly crumbly like an old cookie that sat on the shelf for too long, killed it. OVERALL: Good luck, MCL, but I'm not a fan.

    I've watched Maui Cookie Lab grow over the years from their little cookie trailers at various locations on Maui and now to this brick and mortar spot in Kahului at the old TCBY/Tutti Frutti. They've given the place a lovely facelift with fun splashes of color throughout and even have a great printed social wall that encourages those aesthetic photos for the 'gram. In the past few months I've tasted and experienced their cookies through various avenues whether it was a prepackaged dessert at events, a coworker picking up a box for the team, a very very large order of boxes of mixed cookies for an entire organization, and here at their store. I've found myself loving their cookies more and more and have especially taken a liking to their Chocolate Chunk Sea Salt cookie! Their Likiko'i Oatmeal is also a good choice along with their floral shortbread cookies. If you're wanting to try something a little different, grab a cookie ice cream sundae where they cut up a whole cookie and pair it with ice cream! It is a bit pricey at $4 for one cookie, 3 for $11, or $21 for six so it's definitely a once in a while kinda treat for me. If you want to try a larger variety of flavors, I'd recommend the Mini Cookie Gift Box (12 cookies) for $22. They also do custom orders and worked with my team when we needed hundreds and hundreds of cookies for our staff -- it makes for a great treat at those company parties and events!

    White chocolate Mac nut pineapple cookie- delish from airport but pricey!

    This is not a review of this shop, just of the cookies as I got the cookie at the Kahului airport. Had the pineapple mac nut white chocolate cookie and it was the bomb! Much more pricey at the airport but it was really good. Next time I'm in Maui will have to try the brick and mortar...

    First of all yay for the reserved parking spots in front the store. Finally made it here after seeing all the yummy photos on Instagram. A very cute shop with the smell of fresh cookies as you enter. There's a good assortment of cookies, but not too many where you would be there for hours trying to decide. It's $4 for 1, 3 for $11, & I think 6 for $18. But don't quote me on that last one. The more you buy, the better deal you get. As much as I wanted 6, I went with 3. Got the lilikoi oatmeal, chocolate chip oatmeal with Mac nuts, & caramel toffee. Cookies had a good texture. Littlle crisp on the outside, softer inside. The chocolate chip oatmeal was thicker & softer. There with some salt sprinkled on top which was a nice touch. Very yummy & probably my favorite. The lilikoi was a nice surprise. I'm not a huge lilikoi fan, but it added a nice tartness to the oatmeal. Caramel was good, not too sweet. Being that we live in Kihei, I threw then in the fridge, so the chocolate wouldn't melt. It didn't change the texture, even the next day they were fine. Person behind the counter was very nice & helpful. Definitely need to come back & try more.

    Maui Cookie Lab honu sprinkle shortbread cookies.
    Tre X.

    How sweet it is! Although I haven't tried all of the cookies they offer, I plan to one day! Maui Cookie Lab creates humongous cookies that are fresh, tasty, and make great gifts. They also have itty bitty cookies in case you want something more petite. My favorites are the lilikoi oatmeal and floral shortbread cookies (which you can get in the regular, large cookie size or as a mini 2" size). Their floral cookies are beautiful shortbread cookies topped with dedicate, edible flowers and finished with a citrus glaze. Sure the cookies are a bit pricey, but the big cookies are huge, and a lot of attention goes into each cookie, especially the floral ones that are individually handcrafted. What put Maui Cookie Lab over the top for a 5-star review is the owner Heidi. She really understands the importance of a happy customer, and I was pleasantly surprised at her great customer service and willingness to go above and beyond. She helped me complete a a big cookie order before the holidays and made me a bunch of honu sprinkle cookies that weren't even on their current menu. Mahalo Maui Cookie Lab!

    A friend and I dropped by the Maui farmers market on a Saturday morning and this cookie truck was there. We split a coconut mac nut macaroon and lilikoi oatmeal cookie. I thought the latter had more flavor.

    I've tried a lot of pastries, but this is officially my favorite croissant spot. George surprised…read moreme with breakfast in bed this morning from Momona and I'm always blown away. We had the Nutella and the Lilikoi, and they are absolute units--massive, beautiful and perfectly executed. The pastry is light and incredibly fluffy, but stays dense and decadent because they don't skimp on the filling (it's actually in the center, not just a garnish on top!). The Lilikoi was a total standout--bright, fresh, and perfectly tart. I found myself breaking off the flaky layers just to dip them into that golden center. If they sold it in jars, I'd be the first in line. If you're looking for the best bakery on the island, this is it! XOXO, ChelsieFletcher

    My friend and I stopped by Momona to grab pastries and coffee for our trip to Hana…read more - Guava Cube Croissant (between $6 and $7) - I don't remember how much each of these pastries were exactly but they were a bit under $7. I thought the shape of this croissant was funny and I did want to try something guava. I did find it to be dry and quite bready? I've never had the cube croissant before so perhaps this is just the style of them. I liked the guava filling but thought the cube croissant part was okay. It did seem like this one had more dough than filling. - Lilikoi Croissant (between $6 and $7) - I found that this croissant was not really flaky. There was a really good filling to croissant ratio in this one. However, I did appreciate the strength of the lilikoi flavor in this croissant, and the filling did taste fresh. - Macadamia Nut Latte ($6.85)- we both got ours iced, 12 ounce and with regular milk. We honestly enjoyed these lattes more than the croissants. The macadamia flavor came through quite strong (in a good way) and was pretty unique. There is a small parking lot and lots of seating inside. We saw a couple chickens wandering around outside when we grabbed our pastries.

You can tell they put real care into what they serve, and it shows in every sip. We ordered two lattes, one with brown sugar and one with vanilla, and both were amazing. The flavors were balanced, not overly sweet, and complemented the quality of the espresso perfectly. We also shared a cheese danish that my husband absolutely loved. He said it was one of the best he has ever had, and I have to agree -- buttery, flaky, and so fresh. The shop itself has such a fun, cozy vibe. There's even a swing inside, which adds such a unique and playful touch. It's the kind of place you actually want to hang out in, not just grab a coffee and go. Service was excellent. The barista was super friendly and even made the cutest latte art, which totally made my day. I ordered a 12 oz and loved that it came in a mug, while my husband got a 16 oz to-go. My only wish is that they would offer mugs for the larger sizes too. It would be a nice way to cut down on paper and plastic and make the experience even better. Overall, Akamai Coffee is a gem. Between the amazing drinks, delicious pastries, welcoming atmosphere, and thoughtful service, it's the kind of place you'll want to visit again and again. If you're in Maui, definitely make time to stop by. You won't regret it!

Don't forget they have a seasonal menu on their windows, separate from their regular menu. Staff are friendly and patient. I came twice during our visit because it was convenient especially with the baby in the car. They also have various sizes, not just one size which was nice to control the intake of caffeine for the day. I tried the Road to Hana which was good, on the sweeter side. Then, on the second visit, the server told me that I can get the hot chocolate seasonal flavor as a coffee and make it less sweet - i did that. Both very yummy drinks. On the sweeter side. I did not feel the caffeine as much as I did with Early Bird. I love that they offer drive-thru, though, which was super clutch and the reason for our multiple visits. I tried to go to their Kihei Plaza location, but couldn't figure out how to get to the drive-thru, haha! It's like through a parking lot but there are too many buildings around that I just didn't know where to enter.

Lavender honey iced latte, also very tasty and balanced where you can taste the coffee instead of all the syrup.

There's definitely a deficit for cafes that hit all these spots on the island and I'm not surprised that First Wave continues to sit at 5 stars.

This coffee stand is located in the Lowe's parking lot and when I got there it had a line about 10 people deep. There isn't too much to say about the trailer itself other than it was grey with some wooden decorations wrapped around it, with the top part designed to look like waves. There were two guys working inside and they were cranking out coffees, but the line still moved slowly, taking about 25 minutes from getting in line to getting my drink. They also seemed to know at least half the people waiting and were super friendly with everyone else. For my coffee on this morning I decided to go with a hot 20 oz Hapa, which was coconut and honey. My coffee here was good as I could taste the coconut first and then some sweetness from the honey. The coffee itself was definitely the star as it tasted freshly roasted and had a strong flavor. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. While no one wants to wait 25 minutes for a cup of coffee, the quality of the drink and the friendliness of the staff made it easy to see why this place is a local favorite.
