First of all, the family that runs Papi's is probably the sweetest, most hospitable family I've ever met! They take time with each customer talking and genuinely wanting to know their customers! They truly embrace OHANA! And the food... well, if you go anywhere else for Cinnamon rolls, you're missing out on the best!! Papi's makes the best!! The King David cinnamon roll is worth the early line up and the wait in line! It's tender, sweet and full of delicious cinnamon sugar, every bite is flavorful! We couldn't finish 2 of the 3 we purchased and it was still delicious the next day! We also bought a dozen of their milk and white chocolate macadamia and pistachio cookies, and my GOODNESS are they delectable!! Go for the food, stay for the Ohana! God bless this sweet family working so hard to bring sweetness to Maui!
Best cinnamon roll I've ever had!! Well worth the wait. So buttery and delicious. They put the perfect amount of the glaze on it and I love that it is cream cheese glaze. Makes it so much more creamier!! We came on a Thursday around 10:15am and only waited 40 minutes. Line moved quickly. Well worth coming when you're visiting Maui. Service was great too!
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
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.
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.
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!
Absolutely loved Papi's Ohana! The cinnamon roll was incredible -- huge, soft, gooey, perfectly sweet, and covered in delicious icing. Definitely one of those treats that's worth going out of your way for while you're in Maui. What made the experience even better was the owner, Linda. She was so sweet, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. You can tell she really cares about her customers and takes pride in what she does. Great food, great people, and exactly the kind of local place we love finding when we travel. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Maui!
Absolutely delicious cinnamon rolls and scones. They feed several people. We shared ours with the neighbors vacationing near us. Meg Loved it and so did we.
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.
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.
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!

Papi's Ohana is absolutely worth waking up early for! This place is pure magic. I literally dream about their cinnamon rolls. They are hands down the best I have ever had. Warm, gooey, perfectly sweet, and completely unforgettable. One bite and you will understand the hype. The fresh pineapple scone is another standout. It is bright, buttery, and packed with flavor. And somehow, they also make incredible pizza. Everything tastes homemade with so much care behind it. The vibe is just as special as the food. It has such a warm, local feel that your heart feels happy the moment you walk in. It is cozy, welcoming, and full of good energy. The service is always great. Friendly, genuine, and efficient even when it is busy. If you are debating setting an alarm, do it. Papi's Ohana is the kind of place that makes mornings exciting. read more
Get here early as the lines get looooong! Definitely try if you're in Lahaina. Got in line by 6:30am on a Thursday and there were a few people in line. It wasn't bad because it was still shady. Ordered cinnamon rolls, cookies, Tropical & Aloha scone. Cinnamon rolls are huge! They were super soft with a croissant like texture. It's not super sweet. The cinnamon rolls are really good but not sure it's the best I've ever had. I would skip the scones as I thought they were dry. Cookies were ok but not worth it as it's only sold by the dozen. Staff were super friendly and were all smiles. You can order coffee as you wait in line. Parking seems a bit challenging. This was within walking distance from where I stayed so it was really convenient. read more

Im not sure how necessary waiting early in line is unless you are an early riser, which most visitors in Maui tend to be due to the time change, we had time so we waited about 45 mins to try the famous cinnamon roll and croissants. I love the Portuguese sausage roll, the cinnamon roll was good and flaky like a croissant. The staff were energetic and friendly. read more
This place gets packed quick!! We came 30 mins after opening and there was a long line out the door. We waited almost 2 hrs for cinnamon rolls and it was so worth it! The workers here were so nice and the cinnamon roll lasted us a few days, because it was so big. I loved the flaky croissant texture. I never had a cinnamon roll like it! We also ordered their Mac nut cookies, and it's also so delicious! read more

Uhh... What's all the hype about? These cinnamon rolls are super average. Has anyone who raved about this place ever had a cinnamon roll? These are not the gooey pull apart cinnamon rolls you might be expecting... It's basically bread with a sprinkle of cinnamon and light icing. Not worth the hype, not worth going back to... Literally had a hotel cinnamon roll 2 days ago that blew these away. Employees were nice, but don't bother waking up at 5am to get in line. 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

This place is amazing! Yeah, you gotta get up early and stand in line, but the aloha vibe is in full force. You'll meet people, have conversations, have a great time! And then you'll be rewarded with the absolute BEST cinnamon rolls you've ever had! They are huge, soft, cinnamony, and smothered in icing. Oh, and the croissants are also delicious! I loved them all but the chocolate croissant was This is just truly an experience that you won't regret. Get there by 6 at the latest. There will be a line already! Get there at 530 if you want to be one of the first ones there! They open at 7. read more
Wanted to try the cinnamon roll but stopped by at noon and they were sold out However we did get take out pizza for dinner- very few workers so I recommend calling in the early afternoon to place your order- we were able to pick up at 515pm. By the time we were picking up they told walk in customers they would have to wait until 7pm The veggie pizza + added sausage was delicious and hit the spot! Plenty of food for 2 read more
Secret.... Best cinnamon rolls in Maui!! There's a small parking lot, limited street parking. They open at 7. Get there early if you want to minimize waiting. The first time I went there maybe 60 people in front of me, prior to 07:30. Staff was very friendly. Got a lot of pastries but the cinnamon roll is definitely the star. Still hot. So amazing. Not too sweet. The texture is croissant like. So much cinnamon. The balance of flavors was amazing. I was definitely going back. The sausage croissant was good. The blueberry scone was ok. The cookies were delicious. Moist. Soft. Macadamia nuts and chocolate chips. We also ordered a pizza online for the evening dinner. It was a great pizza. Definitely get a few cinnamon rolls, the cookies. The pizza was solid. Be mindful of what days they are open. Highly recommend. It is worth the wait. One hour. Two hours. The cinnamon roll was like no other! read more

These cinnamon rolls are to die for! The best I've ever had! They also have tasty croissants with chocolate and ham/cheese. We arrived at 6:55 and waited in line for an hour and a half! This place is super small so it's takes awhile to get to the bakery! Tip - get there early! The line keeps growing and growing! read more

Everyone who has mentioned Papi's Ohana has raved about how good their cinnamon rolls are so I had to check it out myself. I heard there's always a long wait and boy where they all right about that. I went with my mom and luckily our hotel was just down the road. I heard parking was tricky so I dropped off my mom around 6:30 while I went to go look for parking. There was already a really decent line by the time I dropped off my mom. They have someone walking up and down the line selling coffee if you need a little pick me up. The line moves slowly and I saw a lot of people brought chairs with them. I can see how the line moves very slowly because you are getting the freshest cinnamon rolls. They're iced and packaged on the spot after you order. Everyone was super friendly and was happy to see us. It was 8:38 by the time i walked out the door with my order. I ordered one cinnamon roll, one chocolate croissant, one mango scone, and a dozen of their cookies. The cinnamon roll lives up to the hype. 10/10. They kinda taste like a cinnamon roll croissant hybrid so it has a nice crispiness on the top layers. Generous amount of icing that was nice and melted on the warm cinnamon roll. The croissant was just OK and the chocolate inside wasn't really melted. You literally just tasted like a piece of chocolate. The scone is a very generous size and I really enjoyed the mango flavor with the coconut icing. The cookies are also really good they had white chocolate milk, chocolate, pistachios, and macadamia nuts. The cookies tasted like they were baked the day before, but they were still good. read more
10 stars! Worth the wait is an understatement. I'm typically not a sweets or pastry person but the execution on this cinnamon roll is out of this world. The pastry is crispy, buttery and soft all at once! The balance of texture and perfection in filling and ingredients is spot on! There was a line and it took near an hour and I'd drive across the island and wait every time I'm visiting it's that good! Parking is limited so be respectful of nearby businesses and residents and don't block the walkway stand on the grass so people can still walk by in the morning. read more

Just finished my Cinnamon Roll and decided to go straight to Yelp. It was the best cinnamon roll I've ever had hands down. I arrived at 6 am - exactly one hour before opening and there was already about 7 or 8 people in line waiting. Today was also the first day their coffee barista opened. You can now place your order for coffee while waiting in line. Once they open (@ 7 am) they move quickly taking orders and sending them out fast. They do sell out so I would recommend arriving as early as possible. We also tried their ham and cheese croissant and it was very good as well. Their little shop is nice! Little seating inside and out. I walked from the resort I was staying at across the street. There seems to be limited amount of parking. I absolutely recommend this if you're looking for good pastries! I plan on returning on my next visit to Maui! read more

So it wasn't my fault and I waited till last minute to get to this place even though it was right around the corner from where we were staying. I went there around 9 AM and I should've gotten there earlier because I did my homework and read the reviews and did not follow instructions from other yelpers. The line does go out the door and I thought maybe because the restaurant itself is small that there was only a certain amount of people allowed at once, but there was a line inside too. Argh! That's what happens when it's good. The line does go pretty fast, but I did wait about 10 to 15 minutes. I was craving delicious cinnamon rolls and that is definitely what I got. The cinnamon roll was huge and was really soft in the middle should be. The only thing that I can say is that the dough itself is more like a croissant rather than your traditional cinnamon bun. The middle of the cinnamon bun definitely has more of a cinnamon bun texture where it was gooey. The cream cheese frosting was so good that I was licking it out of the container of the cinnamon bun. I was super mad at myself because I did not get to try anything else because unfortunately, I got there late and they were sold out. I really want to try their breakfast items, but all they had left to wear cinnamon buns and other pastries. Like I said, you definitely wanna get there early and follow what other people say because they do run out. Another thing you can do is to call them in advance and see if they have any items. The restaurant itself is nothing wonderful but you're not staying there. You're grabbing your food and leaving. But I do have to say there is the aloha treatment where you feel it instantly. You can see the owners taking your order and making cinnamon rolls right in front of you. This places definitely budget friendly when finding food in Maui. Please do not wait to run to this restaurant and have yourself some really great homemade cinnamon rolls!!!!! read more

Theeee best cinnamon rolls I've ever had in my life! I am so happy I came across Papi's Ohana and even happier how close it was to our hotel. After hearing about the hype, I decided to give it a whirl. I arrived around 9am on a Monday and the line was long. Took about an hour to reach the front, but it doesn't feel like it takes that long. They also sell coffee and take coffee orders and make the drink while you wait in line. We ordered two of their delicious rolls and they were generous with the amount of glaze there is on each roll. And if you really want to bathe in the glaze they also sell extra. My husband decided to also get a scone since we were there. We took everything back to our room and enjoyed our little breakfast and watched the view of the ocean. When you take that first bite...yum! They really are blessed with lots of flavor and much love. They are huge as well, so I had half and saved the rest for late. Honestly, I was temped to get more on our last day and bring it on the flight home lol. read more

My wife and I are staying at a condo down the street and we passed the sign the night before saying " Best Cinnamon Rolls on Maui". Me being a Cinnamon roll snob we had to check it out. We arrived about 7:45 to a line of about 30 people waiting to get their piece of heaven. When we finally got up there ( about 45 min) we ordered two cinnamon rolls and a box of cookies. We walked back to our condo and duh in. They were AMAZING!!!! So tasty and so fresh and oh so filling. We haven't tried the cookies yet but if you are in the area, the wait is well worth it. Also the staff was super friendly. Thank you Papi's Ohana. We will probably be trying your pizza before we leave. read more
