    I got in line at 620am. Papis opened at 7 and I got my cinnamon roll just after 8. And boy was it worth the wait. The barista came through the line taking orders for coffee and she was a breath of fresh air, she was so friendly and sweet. I got 1 roll and a ham and cheese croissant. Both were absolutely delicious. This is a must stop when visiting Maui

    We were headed to the beach when my cousin decided to make a pit stop at this cinnamon roll place. We got there on a Monday just after 11:00 a.m. and walked right in! There were two people in line ahead of us. My cousin was surprised because she had seen videos of the long lines of people waiting in line for them to open in the morning. We didn't even taste the cinnamon roll until we got back after a long day at the beach. OH MY GOD!! The hype is real! This was, BY FAR, the BEST cinnamon roll I've ever eaten. No other cinnamon roll even comes close! Make sure you stop here if you are visiting Maui!! You won't be sorry.

    Was excited to try this place after seeing on social media while planning a trip for our 10th anniversary and it didn't disappoint. We had a friend go 2 weeks ago who recommended we get there early around 6ish and that was some amazing advice. Got there an around 6:30am, later than we had initially planned but it worked out. Ended up waiting about an hour and walked out 2 huge cinnamon rolls, a ham and cheese croissant, and dozen cookies. The cinnamon rolls didn't disappoint. So light and fluffy. FREAKING HUGE! Between the two of us, we couldn't even finish 1. Which ended up being nice because they still warm up in the micro pretty well. The ham and cheese croissant was a pleasant surprise. Ended up being really good. My wife isn't usually a ham person, but she said it was like hand carved ham you'd have at Christmas. Cookies were okay. I usually prefer a fluffier soft cookie. Usually when we visit Hawaii and I want cookies , we usually are on Oahu and my go to there is Cookie Corner. Service was great. While waiting, they'll come out and take coffee orders. Only thing was their espresso machine was down that day but was still able to get iced coffee. And once they open, they keep it pretty efficient to keep the line moving. Overall, having to wait for an hour for the croissant and cinnamon rolls was worth it. Probably wouldn't do the cookies again. I've seen some other reviews saying they had to wait 2-3 hours, which is pushing it. I dunno if I'd be willing to do that. But if you can, wake up early, and plan to be there an hour before they open.

    Papi Ohana was absolutely worth the early morning adventure! I drove about 45 minutes on a Thursday morning, arrived around 6:30 a.m., and waited close to two hours to get their famous cinnamon rolls. The wait might sound long, but the experience made it worthwhile. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. They genuinely appreciated when customers took photos and videos and were so much fun to interact with--they really embrace social media and make everyone feel at home. The cinnamon rolls were huge, priced at $12 each, and served warm. They were perfectly moist, soft, and not overly sweet, which made them even better. If you're visiting Maui and don't mind getting up early for one of the island's most popular treats, I highly recommend adding Papi Ohana to your list. It's a memorable experience with delicious cinnamon rolls that live up to the hype. But definitely go early since they sell out everyday!

    Very almost, laminated dough and uber buttery-- but the two hour wait PLUS lack of proper cinnamon ratio to dough-- hm. Love the NON DENSE DOUGH-- it's the same dough as my fave viennoiserie: pain aux raisins!!! As a believer, megapoints for Phil 1:3 verse on pizza box, and I am truly encouraged by the verses that I can claim as promises from God... Tis the reason I came, after all. My first Uber driver also a believer from El Salvador. It's a slog in line; given that I arrived 6:45, I would say come at 5:35, and your wait won't exist. Wear sunscreen and order iced coffee! PS aha--- he did train under a French baker! The dough IS laminated; my tongue didn't lie. PPS I respect the Sox off David and wife: this ministry l can very much appreciate. Why can't I retire now and just join their ministry and church... pinings...

    Amazing! My visit was back in 2024, and I absolutely love how much this business is still striving I can't believe I forgot to post about our visit. Huge line around 6:30am but worth the wait. Since it was our last morning in Maui I didn't buy too much but had regrets not to bring extra home to share with the kids. Cinnamon roll was delicious and we ordered another pastry just to try something savory and I loved it just as much as the cinnamon roll. It was quick service type establishment but I enjoy watching how much passion and love they have for the community supporting their business.

    No line as bakery was closed

    Is it good? Yes. Is it "stand-in-line-forever" good? Not for me. I'm just past the stage of chasing hype, but based on the crowds wrapping around the corner, I'm clearly in the minority. The cinnamon rolls, though, are the real deal: soft, gooey, draped in glaze and yet somehow isn't overyly sweet, and when they're warm they just melt in your mouth. They're basically a hug in pastry form and go perfectly with a hot cup of coffee. We also tried the scones, croissants, and cookies, and they were all very tasty--but let's be honest, you're really here for the cinnamon rolls, and they know it.

    I really wanted to like it, but it just wasn't for me. Waited 3.5 hours on a Tuesday morning (from 6:30am-10am, their croissants were sold out so we bought 4 of the cinnamon rolls & a box of cookies. The cookies are delicious, I love that they put pistachios in it & it's not overly sweet, they were my favorite. The cinnamon rolls unfortunately fell short for me. There was something about them that just didn't "wow" me enough to be believing the hype. However, I'm still glad that I tried it. & to each their own.

    Cinnamon roll!

    If you don't feel like reading my whole review, here's the short version... the hype is real and worth the trip! My wife's sister, who just moved away from Hawaii told us about this place. She told us we had to come here. She made sure to mention to carve out a couple hours of the day, because we'll be waiting in line. As you can see pictures from other people's reviews, that's definitely the case. We took an Uber over there, and as soon as we got in the car and the driver mentioned the address he said, are y'all ready to wait?!?! I think we got there around 10 AM and the line was already long! We knew we would have to be very patient this day. Luckily it wasn't super hot outside so that helped with the waiting process. They did have someone come around and offer coffee and water to purchase while we waited in line. I thought that was pretty smart under the circumstances that everyone has to deal with while waiting here. After probably a 2 hour wait... we finally got in! They have other options of things to eat. Scones, croissants and things like that. We were there for the star player... the cinnamon roll! These things are huge! My wife and I said since we waited so long, we might as well get two and enjoy one of them for later. I never envisioned myself waiting two hours for a cinnamon roll, or any other type of treats, but this was well worth it. We wanted to have one while it was fresh out the oven, so we found a bench to sit at around a bus stop. It was so soft, pretty much melted in your mouth. The icing was tasty. It was so fresh, it's the best cinnamon roll I've ever had in my life. I'm sure spending two hours of your time being in Maui you don't want to sit in line waiting on something like a cinnamon roll, trust me I felt the same way. After doing this, I WILL do it again the next time I'm there! Next time, I would be there first thing in the morning and waiting in line before they open up, that way I'll have time for other activities around the island that I have planned for the day. The wait is worth it, and I highly suggest this place!

    Yes! If only you could smell this!

    Thanks to a fellow Yelper, I learned the trick of going later in the morning. I hardly waited five minutes. And I know some people show up long before they open and wait in line for hours. It does look fun to be part of the community waiting together and being on their daily Facebook video. But... I was good with the short wait. And....what a de-licious cinnamon roll. I only got one to share between three of us. I had to stop myself from eating more than my share! Lovely friendly service too! I'm a fan!

    We waited 2.5 hours for our cinnamon rolls but they were worth the wait!
    Tammy M.

    Well the cinnamon rolls are the BEST we have ever had!! They are flakey, moist and have the perfect amount of icing! The staff were lovely and so kind!

    cinnamon roll ($12) - when i first had it i wasn't that impressed but it's only because i havent had that many cinnamon rolls in life and i was never a cinnamon girlie, but after having another one from Cinnamon Roll Place for comparison, this is indeed heavenly - first of all the texture oml, i don't think any place would easily surpass this; it was pillowy soft inside while the exterior was a bit crunchy and flaky; so soft it felt like it would collapse if you don't eat it quick - second, it came out HOT N FRESH - third, the size is massive - fourth, the flavor was on point; i have nothing to complain about - the only part i didn't like was that they put too much cream cheese glaze; hence, it was too sweet blueberry scone ($10) - this was soooo dry it felt like my tongue went scavenging through the desert - other than the dryness though i do appreciate the rugged texture and the blueberry flavor was pretty rich - would not get it again rating: 4.8/5 - theyre known for cinnamon rolls so despite the blueberry scone being unsatisfactory, the rating is still high - i loved the texture and flavor; you can taste the quality - it wouldve been an almost perfect score if it could just lessen the cream cheese glaze AND if the line wasn't so bombastic because we waited for 1.5 hours in the sun - super welcoming cheerful service though; they also provide umbrellas and a few chairs for you to wait in the sun - very small interior for you to place your order; no place to stand or sit; grab and go only IG: @nom.noms.only

    MAKE THIS A MUST STOP IN MAUI!…read more my husband and i came here tonight for my birthday and to celebrate our honeymoon! i want to first start off by thanking davide our server for the INCREDIBLE hospitality and service. he was beyond kind and genuinely just had the best vibes! the rest of the staff and managers were also just so amazing! but oh my goodness, the food.......i am speechless. it exceeded our expectations. we started with the focaccia bread which was so yummy with the olive oil! my husband ordered the tagliatelle....AMAZING. but i ordered the lasagna and i have to say that is probably the best lasagna i've ever had. no exaggeration. everything just tasted so fresh! and you can really taste that italian-imported flour!!! and lastly of course we had to finish with the tiramisu which was so light and delicious! i also had a pinot nero wine that davide had suggested and it was delicious! again, everything was spectacular. this is seriously a hidden gem!!! you can taste the love they put into this place. do yourself a favor and make this a stop on your itinerary/list.

    We enjoyed our dinner here. Staff was very nice and checked on us a few times during the meal. We…read morestarted off sharing 2 salads - kale and a Romaine. Both were delicious but I liked the kale the best. The entrees were: Spicy sausage, mushrooms, provolone pizza. It arrived scorched on a couple edges and was crunchy, thin crusted. Just delicious. Beef ragu pasta - a lovely savory dish with great flavor. Lasagna - heavily covered in tomato sauce but our kid liked it. Gnocchi - the cheese sauce was divine. The pasta was on the heavier side than pillowy and fluffy ones I've had before. But the sauce over it really helped the dish. The cost of the meal can be a bit pricier than your casual family Italian restaurant but it's along the lines of what you'd pay at a good restaurant in a big city. We ordered 2 sodas and a beer. The local beer tasted mire bitter to me. I tried the local ginger beer. It was less gingery tasting than others and I've tried quite a few brands. Expect a health surcharge on your bill. There's a gender neutral, single bathroom. It's likely more popular since winning the 2026 James Beard best chef in the West-Pacific NW award. Glad our kid made reservations and invited us to dine here.

I had the evening special--kampachi served with an incredibly creamy risotto and red wine butter sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. The fish was perfectly cooked, tender and buttery, and the risotto was so good that I'm already trying to figure out how to recreate it at home. My husband had the Ali'i mushroom pizza with artisan cheese, white truffle oil and lavender. Such an unusual combination, but it worked beautifully. I also really appreciated having wonderful gluten-free options. It's not always easy to find a meal that feels truly special when you need to eat gluten-free, and this absolutely did. We also tried the bruschetta with ahi tuna! So unique and tasty! Add the beautiful oceanside setting and this was one of those Maui dinners we'll still be talking about after we get home. We would absolutely return to Honu Oceanside on our next trip. Highly recommend!

She knew the menu well and was great at describing the dishes. Loved the overall service here plus you get to pick sparkling or still water. Drinks were both really good! Got the lilikoi and coconut one. Grilled octopus appetizer - Omg, this was the best grilled octopus I have ever had! It was soooo tender, did not even need a knife to cut through it, and it was like butter. Cooked to perfection! Would come here again just for this. The sauces and spread also complimented the dish well. Ahi Bruschetta - this one was a bit messy to eat . The flavors were ok, I felt like there was something missing. But the ahi tasted great! Diver Scallop entree - The scallops on here were huge, but were a bit undercooked. Golden brown on both sides but the middle was more on the raw side. Still tasted amazing! I loved the garlic mashed potatoes. The sauce of the mushrooms tasted a bit too much like vinegar for my liking. Cioppino - There was a generous portion of seafood in this. The broth taste is on the lighter side. The seafood was a bit overcooked. The fish was dry and shrimp was a bit tough. Still overall decent dish, if it wasn't overcooked it would have been so good! The views are amazing especially during the sunset! Would come here again to try their other dishes and drinks.
