I recently discovered the Maui Candy Company sells The Good Apple! I was craving some fancy apples…read more& sent my boyfriend here to pick me up two. One was a fancy chocolate one & the other was one of my favorites, the strawberry matcha. Pro tip: If they have these in stock you'll have to ask because they are stored in the fridge.

If you love candy and Pokémon cards like my son does, THIS is the place to be!!! Excellent customer…read moreservice and TONS of choices!!! Local brands, old skool brands, international brands, you'll be sure to find something you'll love! There are a lot of gift items too so if you're looking for a present, this might be a great place to check out. Prices are pretty reasonable and the store is spacious and clean! Def check this place out if you got a sweet tooth or are a collector!

Fun fact: The first time I have ever tried bubble tea/boba is at camellia seeds…read more This place is the OG for honeydew bubble tea and any sweet treat you'd like. Want a snack? Grab some li hing mui crack seed or chocolate covered gummy bears. Want an icee float? They have that too! If you were born & raised on Maui, I can guarantee that you have some fond memories at this place. The store has stayed the same ever since I was a kid (and the nostalgia is REAL!) Highly recommend getting the chocolate covered gummy bears, li hing mui gummy anything, honey dew bubble tea, and icee floats. Camellia Seeds is a true gem on Maui and it is one of a kind.

My family and I always make a point to stop in and pick up treats to take back home to Oahu…read more Call ahead and place an order because they run out of mochi. Their mochi--especially the peanut butter & chocolate or the truffle varieties--never disappoints. We also grab a few boxes of their rocky road and keep them in the fridge.

Wow! This is such an amazing find to have their various flavor mochi!…read more First thing first! Call to make your mochi reservation. You don't want to be disappointed and to show up only to find out they're all gone. Reserve, pick up, and enjoy! We got the dark chocolate truffle, red bean paste and peanut butter milk chocolate mochis. They were all delicious. The mochi skin was so smooth, so soft, and nicely chewy - just how a perfect mochi should be. And then fillings were complementary to the mochi skin - not too sweet, just right (so you know, when I drink milk tea, I usually go for 25% or if any milk tea with syrup, then 0%). Dark chocolate truffle had a very nice smooth dark chocolate truffle taste, and if you like dark chocolate, you'll love this. Peanut butter milk chocolate had a very nice texture with the chunky peanut chunks. It was deliciously chewy, crunchy and savory! And the traditional red bean paste, it was yummy. Only regret is that I didn't buy another set of all flavors to bring home to store in the freezer to have for the weeks to come. If you have had mochi from Twin Sisters in Hilo, this place comes neck to neck to theirs except that Maui Specialty Chocolates don't have any fresh fruit mochi which is all made up by how delicious the mochis are on Maui. Sorry, no picture as mochi was devoured before the camera came out

The store is very, very tiny. The woman who helped us was very nice and we sampled two types of…read morefudge. Maui Mud Pie and Chocolate. Bother we're delicious. They had a promo sign stating "Buy four at $7 each and the fifth one is free-$38.00" so for $$39.60, we got 5 types. They taste nothing like what we sampled. Every single one is awful. The coconut taste like mint, the Maui mud pie is stale, the chocolate taste like perfume...ugh!!! There is a number on the bottom...is this the expiration date? Was is last year? Is it when it was made? Buyer beware! We opened it to slice a sample of each for dessert with a group. Everyone agrees something is "off" with this award winning fudge. Feeling very disappointed and irritated that I'm out $39.60. I should've just put two $20s into the trash, cuz that's where this is going.

I first saw Hawaii Fudge Company at Costco when they had a table set-up and were giving out…read moresamples. The second time I saw them was at the Made In Maui County Festival. Both times, I really really liked their turtle fudge. Unfortunately, they were only selling it in boxed sets and not individually. I just wanted that one flavor! The third time I saw them was when my husband & I were randomly strolling through Front Street in Lahaina. I thought to myself, "That packaging looks really familiar... Oooo, they have sweets. Let's go in!" Sure enough, it was the same company with the turtle fudge AND they were selling them individually. The girl at the counter was really friendly and informative, telling us how the fudge is all made on Maui, how they used to make everything in this tiny Lahaina shop, but now have 2 locations (another one in the Kihei Triangle). In the Kihei location, they also hold their fudge making class, which I've heard about and have been wanting to try. I had no idea it was the same company. It was all coming together! The same girl proudly told us she had samples of every single flavor and happily obliged when we asked for specific flavors. As much as I loved the turtle flavor, I ended up randomly getting the Maui mud pie. Go figure! I "just knew" I would like that flavor and I do! She also gave us a sample of the toffee and I picked up a box as a gift for someone. Both are delicious ~ Actually, all their flavors are good! In addition to fudge & toffee, they also sell taffy and coconut candy. Everything in their little shop is $8.50. $8.50 for one little block of fudge, you say?! YEP. I'll pay for a good product that I want & will enjoy ++ you're supporting local. I've paid less for other fudge on island and most of it goes to waste :( This stuff is legit! They do offer a small kamaaina discount and I was given a rewards card to use for return visits. I definitely recommend them, especially if you are looking for Maui Made goodies to give as a gift or to just enjoy for yourself!

Tucked into an industrial part of Kahului, it is a true local stop where people swing by for lunch or to grab something great to take home. I picked up a large container of Hawaiian-style poke for my Airbnb, and it ended up being an amazing dinner plus snacks for the week. There are easily a dozen other marinated and seasoned varieties to choose from, all looking incredibly fresh. They carry a few basic essentials and beer, but the real draw is the outstanding poke the family owners prepare daily. Takeout only -- no dine-in -- and absolutely worth the stop.

I tried an edible arrangement but they would not deliver it to Maui hospital. I was able to get a hold of the kind lady from Lee Bear and although it was after hours, she took the time to talk to me.

This is a prime example of living aloha!! I cannot even say how much I appreciated what she had done for me and how much it meant to me.

Their little store is small, but mighty and the service is nothing short of spectacular. What *I think* they're mostly known for is their gift baskets/boxes. When holidays, birthdays, special occasions roll around, Lee Bear is such a great place to find an assortment of goodies for friends and loved ones. Their gift baskets are filled with treats like candies, Maui Cookkwees, gourmet cookies and rice krispies that have been dipped in a rich, decadent chocolate coating; freshly hand-dipped in their store to ensure high quality flavor. My favorite is the white chocolate covered pretzels with rice krispies, marshmallows, etc. SO good. It's the first thing I call dibs on when I see it. Haha! Just recently, I stopped in when my little one suggested we make lollipops. They had a wide selection of molds, gel food coloring, candy thermometer, basically everything and anything we needed. They even sold the white chocolate covered rice krispy treat by the package! It's a bit of a splurge, but I like what I like and will pay for it... lol. When we checked out, the lady (I'm assuming the owner?) asked us if we've made lollipops before and offered up so many tips and hacks. She answered all of our questions and even provided a mini recipe book that she suggested we keep as they don't make them anymore. I was really impressed, but not really surprised, with the quality of their customer service. That's what I love about mom and pop shops and the reason I will continue to support local businesses like these. Next time you decide to make a treat or need a quick, easy gift, you don't have to spend hours shopping for the perfect gift. Stop by the store or order a sweet gift basket from Lee Bear & Co Inc.
