Get there EARLY!!! Cinnamon rolls are well worth the wait (EPIC!) .....and you will have to wait. Super nice family atmosphere and everything's good but they will run out. We watched the long lines for a few days before we jumped in. #1 Hint: It's nice to wait with your sweetheart, she got us coffee from Vida's truck down the street and provided me great company....again. I'm a lucky man. read more

Delicious!! If you do your research, you don't have to wait that long. We waited less than 15 minutes, but saw the line in the morning and it's insane. We went around 10:30am on a Monday and there were still plenty of cinnamon rolls available. Only two items were sold out, the ham and cheese croissant and something else. Staff are super friendly!! The cinnamon roll is soft and fluffy, but not overly sweet either. It's fantastic! Not worth a 3 hour wait, but I don't think anything is. Definitely the best one we've ever had! read more

Papi’s Ohana - Cinnamon roll - Pizza Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

Man I'm bummed to not give 5 stars because I wanted the hype to be worth it but unfortunately for us it wasn't. We came on a Friday morning around 7 am and waited for over 3 hours. Thankfully they didn't sell out of anything, so we were able to get a cinnamon roll and a tropical scone, but did hear of folks waiting for over 4 hours and not being able to get what they wanted which is tough. Maybe it's because I'm an avid baker and have specific tastes when it comes to cinnamon rolls, but this one was not worth 3 hours of waiting in the sun. It was for sure very fluffy and VERY sweet, but there was almost no cinnamon in ours and the frosting didn't have that classic tang you usually get in cinnamon buns. If you told me it was a sweet bread then sure, A+, but for me this didn't hit the mark for "cinnamon roll". I was also very excited for the tropical scone, but when we took it out of the bag it was VERY overbaked and almost charred, and tasted bitter from being so dark. There was only 1 piece of pineapple in the entire scone (which was massive) which I was really sad about. The actual scone was very fluffy too and had good flavor, but it wasn't a tropical scone. Both items had a good base, but needed much more oomph in the filling dept in my opinion. All in all, I'd recommend coming later to avoid the huge initial wait (though you might risk them selling out), but I'm not sure if I'd say this was worth 3 hours of our time. read more

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! read more

Papi’s Ohana - This is the line at 8am for cinnamon rolls. OMG - Pizza Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

I hate to be the bearer of bad news for those who don't like to wait in line, but the line is totally worth it. I honestly did not want to stand around in line for a cinnamon roll, which are not my favorite (so I thought it wouldn't blow my mind) but I'm really glad my boyfriend convinced me to wait. We were in line for ~40 minutes at 9:40 AM on a Monday. There's plenty of coffee places nearby (including Papi's own coffee service) to help pass the time. I can't emphasize enough how fantastic this cinnamon roll was... served right out of the oven, so warm, with an excellent crunch around all the edges but still warm and gooey on the inside. It's pretty big so can serve 3-4 (we had leftovers) read more

Snagged one of the "famous" cinnamon rolls and it was ok but I definitely wouldn't wait for hours to get one like a lot of people do.

I heard about this from Yelp's Top 100 list and then from multiple friends that come to Maui often. The line is no joke - waited 45 minutes in the rain. The smell wafting out of the window was heavenly and the rolls themselves once we got to the door were insane! A whole clamshell to go container size. People were ordering by the half or whole dozen and getting them in pizza boxes. Food: The rolls were super fresh, soft, and delicious. The Portuguese sausage roll was also super yummy and my personal favorite as more of a savory fan. read more

Flew in from Oahu to try this place! And when I tell you the flight, the drive, and the wait was worth it... Best. Cinnamon. Roll. Ever! Hands down, light, crunchy, just the right amount of sweet and icing. This was perfect! For a monster sized cinnamon roll, you can finish a whole one easy. Ordered 8 of these to share with my employees as I couldn't gate keep this. They all state these were some of the best cinnamon rolls they've ever had! If you're thinking about it, don't. Just go! Service is amazing, the staff are some of the best friendliest you'll meet! Worth. The. Drive. read more

Oh my goodness! This is the best cinnamon roll I have EVER eaten. My only complaint is that I live in Arizona- I want to grab a flight just to come eat here again! Visiting a friend in Lahaina, so at my friends recommendation, our group and I stopped by to grab breakfast before a fun day. We were so excited to eat these fresh, gooey rolls of goodness that I didn't even get a photo before my partner and I dug in. The bakery smells so good- just walking in, you're hit with the scent of fresh pastries and a warm greeting by staff, which was nice! Some members of the group got croissants as well, and I had a bite of the spam, jalapeño, and cheese croissant- super yummy! The pasty itself was buttery and flaky, and there was a very good amount of filling inside the pastry. No skimping on the spam! The cinnamon roll is everything I was looking for, and it's also huge (bigger than my face!). No part of the roll is dry, and the dough is soft. The frosting is indulgent without being heavy, and the cinnamon filling is pleasantly spiced without being overly sweet. Don't get me wrong, though- this cinnamon roll is RICH- in the best way! One thing I will say is that I am not kidding that these are huge- unless you're looking to enter a food coma, these rolls are definitely sharing size. A definite must visit if you're visiting friends or family here, or just traveling through. I'm back in Arizona, now... but still dreaming about these cinnamon rolls! read more

My husband went on a Thursday morning at about 8am and the line was long, of course, but it moved quickly. It was moving about 1 min per person. He ended up waiting for about an hour. We got a spam croissant, chocolate croissant, and 1 cinnamon roll. All of the choices were truly great, but the cinnamon roll was the star of the show. This is not like other cinnamon rolls because it isn't thick and doughy. It is more like pastry but still soft and gooey like a cinnamon roll needs to be. It was fresh, warm, and the frosting was the perfect compliment to the pastry. We also purchased a bag of Arabica coffee to bring home. It was nice as well! Did not disappoint one bit. read more

We rushed over here after watching the sunrise on Haleakalā. Unfortunately they had special hours this Tuesday and they were closed so I couldn't try what they say are the best cinnamon rolls ever. So the jury is still out and I will have to wait to try this during my next Maui visit since they are closed on Wednesdays and we leave the island on Thursday morning (sad face) NEXT TIME!! read more

They opened late at 0730 on the day we arrived. We got there at the opening time of 7am and there was already a line of at least 50 people. The cinnamon rolls were yummy and fresh but we did wait for over 2 hours before getting our rolls. My husband said the wait was worth it!! You have to take your food to go since they don't have a seating area. They serve coffee drinks and pizza is available to order in the evening. read more

Arrived at 6:40 on a Friday morning and there was already a massive line. They opened at 7 and we finally got to the front of the line at 9:20 and got our long awaited for cinnamon roll. Definitely a 5/5, great flavor and texture. My husband and I shared one because they're as big as your face. Ordered a chocolate croissant which was also good and a bag of their ground coffee to enjoy at home. I recommend triple checking their hours and website before you come. We got up at 6am the day before only to get there and find out they were closed. We were so hungry during our 2.5 hour wait in line that I sent my husband over to Penny's next door to order a breakfast sandwich so definitely want to make sure you bring something to eat or drink in line. read more

Yes it really is worth the wait!! People line up more than an hour before this place opens at 7 am and still have wait over an hour. They are open until 2 pm or until they are sold out. Hubby got in line about 9 am and waited one hour and 18 minutes for our cinnamon rolls. Hot and fresh out of the oven; quite possibly the best cinnamon rolls I've ever tasted. Unlike others I've had that are dense and, although good, tend to sit in the bottom of your stomach, these are light and flaky and ooey gooey good! I'd love to try their bread and pizza but don't want to wait in line! read more

I'm certainly not going to dispute their claim that their Cinnamon Rolls are the best in Maui, what I had was excellent. It was a large sweet spiral, mostly soft, perfect color. Once we returned to where we were staying the two rolls we bought were devoured as the compliments flew. Being able to buy these was not so easy. Papi's Ohana is an old building with a small, tight, parking lot and no other obvious parking spots nearby. We ended up just being dropped off and while we stood in line one of us took the car somewhere else and drove back once we had our treats. There was a line, fairly long, but the wait wasn't so bad as we anticipated the prize at the end. We were greeted with an Aloha and a smile when we reached the register to place our order. Having a cinnamon roll from Papi's Ohana was a great Maui experience. read more

Everything about the cinnamon roll was so so delicious!!! It is so pillowy soft, gooey icing. EXTRA LARGE!!!!! Serving size is enough for two people I also ordered the sausage and cheese croissant which I was pleasantly surprised about because they use a Portuguese sausage so there's a bite to it. The cheese was also gooey. The croissant itself was super buttery and flaky I was in between the ham&cheese or sausage&cheese croissant and I asked the woman working to decide for me. Her attitude was so pleasant. It really makes the experience that much more amazing, especially since it was early in the morning. I do advise you to go early, maybe before they open so you can get the items you want. Once they sell out, they close I did wait about an hour but I do think it's worth it. Not only because it's delicious, but because you are supporting a small business, and that will always be enough of a reason to support! read more

Papi’s Ohana - Pizza Near Me - Lahaina, Hawaii

This was one of our first stops in Maui! We got there at 6:45 am (the jet lag from east coast really helps!) and as expected, there was a huge line already. We got a cinnamon roll and a Portuguese Sausage crossaint. King David Cinnamon Roll: Be warned- this is not a one person job. More like 4. So you'll need a friend or two! And yes, it was the best cinnamon roll I've ever had. The fact that it was warm and toasty made it so much better. Definitely could have used a little less glaze though. Because the roll was hot the glaze melted into little pockets and some bites were just pure sugary glaze. Portuguese Sausage Crossaint: This was our first time having Portuguese sausage and it tastes like a cross between chorizo and Vietnamese lap cheong. The crossaint itself also somehow had some infused salty sausagey flavor in it which was delicious. Throw some scrambled egg in there and it would have been a 10/10 breakfast crossaint. Couldn't taste the cheese. We waited about an hour, which wasn't even as long as those behind us since by the time it was 7:30 am the line was already down the block! Everyone seemed to be in a positive mood while waiting though! There is a parking lot right next to the shop, but I probably wouldn't even bother if you're planning on coming early when everyone else is. We parked at the nearby shopping center (Snorkel Bob's) and it was an easy walk. read more

Okay. Hands down, such good cinnamon rolls! Soft, chewy, fluffy, flaky, a little bit of everything that was unexpected and very welcome. Though, I did get there at 6:35am on a Thursday and finally got the goods at 8:20am. Was it worth it? I'd say so, but I made sure to try at least a few of their vegetarian options even though it was just 3 of us devouring the items. Cinnamon Roll: fabulous, must get! Tropical Scone: so good, has chunks of pineapple which come through nicely. Aloha Scone: good but not as good as the tropical scone imo Macadamia Nut Pesto Focaccia: soft and fluffy, not necessarily a must get. Service was really friendly. They had someone come out to the line if anyone wanted to order coffee while they waited. Note: Not much parking onsite. I ended up parking in a lot just a block up the street. Probably not allowed but not sure where else to have parked. read more

I wasn't too sure about waiting in line for a cinnamon roll, but I had to give it a try and I'm so glad I did! The line wasn't bad at all on a weekday, only about a 10-minute wait to get in. I got there around 9 a.m., and most of the items were already sold out, but luckily they still had the famous King David's cinnamon roll. It truly lives up to its name it's a king! The size, the flavor, the texture everything was perfect. Fresh out of the oven, soft on the inside, and crispy on the outside with just the right amount of sweetness. This place knows how to do cinnamon rolls right! I'd fly across the Pacific just for this. About the ambience! It's a small shop so don't expect much. AndjJust a heads up: there's no outdoor seating and parking can be a bit tricky, but it's absolutely worth it. read more

First of all, the cinnamon rolls. They're as big as your head and so fresh and delicious. We stood in line outside of the building for about 90 minutes to get them which I know sounds like a lot but it's a special treat. There was a lady that came through the line asking anybody if they wanted to buy some coffee or bottles of water so at least we were kept hydrated while waiting in the hot sun. The people in line were all pretty pleasant and then when we got inside the lady that worked at the counter was so sweet and polite and thankful that we were there giving them business. Aside from the cinnamon rolls I also got a sausage wrapped in croissant dough, a loaf of focaccia and a pack of cookies that were so delicious. If I remember correctly they had milk chocolate white chocolate macadamia nuts and maybe pistachios? Inside the building was pretty much a line of people and the people working behind the counter. Because of the volume of people that come through there, at least at that time of day, there wasn't really a place to sit and enjoy your food inside. There may be times of the day that are less crowded but the fear was that at some point they might run out. So for me it was worth waiting the 90 minutes. read more

The hype is real. Mahalo, Tiktok for recommending Papi's Ohana. This is hands-down the best cinnamon roll I've ever had, and I never liked cinnamon before. It melts in your mouth and so ONO! 10/10!! Went on a Thursday around 12:30pm with no wait. We came back the next day, Friday noon, March 6th to bring home to Oahu but they already had the "closed" sign for being sold out. Please open a branch in Oahu or have a pop up. Papi's Ohana is my new favorite! They do have pleasant staff and great ambiance. We were greeted by Linda and a gentleman. Both of them were all smiles!! So glad we were able to try here and now we get the hype. Highly recommend when visiting Maui! read more

This was our first time at this place. It is small so you are not able to eat inside. My husband stood in line for 2 hours to get a cinnamon Roll. It was a pretty big cinnamon roll. It was good but not 2 hour wait good. We also purchased cookies and a croissant. He said the croissant was fluffy but needed butter. The cookies were good. You can taste the butter in the cookies. I would not stand in line for 2 hours. However, my husband said he would do it again. The cinnamon Roll was $12.00, a dozen of cookies were $18.00 and the croissant was $3.00. read more

Ill be honest, I normally don't fall for gimmicks but I was seriously impressed with Papis. We came here twice once at night for pizza and again for the famous Cinnamon bun. 1. Pizza: The pizza was really good! There's literally only one guy cranking out dozens of pizzas so the wait time is a bit long. We ordered on the phone and came at the predicted finish time but still had to wait a little maybe 15 more minutes but it was well worth it! The was so good with fresh toppings but what made it so good was the dough and the perfectly cooked crust. As for the Cinnamon Bun, we came around 9am which apparently was late. We came the morning before as well around 11 Am and they were completely sold out so we came earlier this time. The line was crazy out the door and we waited about 45mins to 1 hour for it. I honestly don't like Cinnamon buns that much but I felt we needed to give it a try as there was so much demand. 1. Cinnamon bun: Holy crap these are huge. My wife and I ordered two just because we waited in line so long that I felt it wasn't worth just getting one and I ended up bringing one back for my family to try. The Bun is SOOOO GOOD! it's perfectly cooked and not too dry or hard like I feel alot of placed do. It is very soft and gooey. It's not overly cinnamon flavored either. I'd compare it to a really really soft and freshly baked donut that has cinnamon glaze over it. It peals really easily. Easily the best Cinnamon Bun I've ever had. Overall, my wife loved their pizza and I loved their Cinnamon Bun. Is it worth a 1 hour wait? Probably not. I wouldn't wait again for it but I also don't regret the wait because I'm so glad I got to try it. Staff is very polite and there's plenty of parking in their small lot. read more

On our trip first trip to Maui, my husband was in the hunt for the best cinnamon rolls. We discovered Papi Ohana on our morning walk. They were closed that day so we planned to go the next morning. They open at 7 a.m. and we arrived at 7:30 a.m. and there was already a line down the street. First sign they must be great. We waited for about an hour but it was well worth it. Everything looked great, the croissants, and scones. I wanted everything. We settled for a Portuguese Sausage croissant, my husband got a ham and cheese croissant and we had to get the King David Cinnamon roll of course to split. Everything just melted in my mouth. It was just right, not too thick, and the icing was amazing. It was just the right amount. Papi Ohana is a cute little shop. The staff were friendly and so cheerful. I highly recommend if you are visiting Maui, that you visit Papi Ohana. Get there early. They close at 2 or when they sell out. read more
