Let me tell you how good these cinnamon rolls are! I could not get enough. I was in Maui for 4 full days and ate a roll every day I could. (They are closed Wednesdays.) you better get there early because they run out. There is normally a line out the door and down the parking lot. They are worth every bit of the hype! Flaky, soft, chewy layers with the perfect amount of sweet. The Christian music in the background only adds to the fact these truly are the "blessed" cinnamon rolls in Maui. We also enjoyed their ham and cheese croissants. Buttery, flaky, savory goodness. We even ordered pizza one night and they were giving the pizzas away for free and asking that donations be made on behalf of Lahaina recovery instead. What a blessing! I seriously loved this place and plan to visit every time I vacation in Maui. You will NOT be disappointed. Enjoy every bite! read more

Do not miss this place if you're in Maui. The cinnamon rolls are pure perfection. Get there early otherwise they may sell out. The staff is so friendly and nice, and the shop is doing pizza for donations to help with the local community. We got one cinnamon roll for breakfast and pre ordered a pizza to pick up tonight. So excited! read more

Came by 2 different days, and it's closed. The paper on the door is for a different day. I completely understand if it is due to emergencies. However, it is just a little inconvenient. About 10 other people showed up and a few of them said they also tried a different day and was closed. Would love to try it but I keep striking out. read more

There are not enough positive things to say about Papi's. I had to check it out after seeing the reviews. I got in line about an hour before they opened, and just like everyone else can say, it is 1000% worth the wait!! I've never had another cinnamon roll like this before. Incredibly soft and airy on the inside, with a perfect little crisp on the outside. It was so good, I did it all over again the next morning. To top it off, you get the kindest service from Linda, who greets and thanks everyone every single morning. You can tell they really appreciate every person who walks through that door. Truly one of my favorite experiences on Maui altogether!! read more

I really wanted to like this place. Even went 35 min before it opened. But I could not understand the hype on the cinnamon rolls. Too sweet, heavy and gooey. Maybe the hype is due to people not understanding what homemade cinnamon roles are like. I couldn't eat more than a few bites. That being said, I really liked the vibe of the workers. Very friendly. Bakery smelt delicious. And maybe I would have liked the other items on the menu. read more

We stopped in twice this week - once for pizza and the other for a cinnamon roll. Both were excellent; it's clear why everyone loves the food at Papi's. The cinnamon rolls do sell out, so arrive early. For the pizza, you can call ahead to place your order for the time you want. We called right after noon for our 7pm order. It was the best pizza I've had on Maui Highly recommend Papi's, we will be back on our next trip to Maui! read more

We stood in line for two hours, waiting to order their yummy cinnamon rolls. We asked a local if they were all that and we were assured that yes indeed they were all that. Don't leave Maui without trying the cinnamon rolls at this location!!! The owners are friendly and welcoming. Once the line started moving it picked up pace, but do expect to be standing for a while. We came back the next day and ordered a pizza m, which was very yummy. My only complaint is that we did not eat here sooner because we would've loved to have tried something else off the menu.

Woke up at 6 AM and drove from town to get this. Waited in line for 1.5 hours. I got to say that this cinnamon roll was worth the drive. The workers are very friendly and all the people in line were super nice as well. The shop itself is very cute and easy to understand. I also tried two of their croissants one being the spam one and the other being the portuguese sausage (not pictured). Both of the croissants are super good and very underrated.

Disclaimer: Please EXPECT a wait. Some people state they’ve waited as little as 3 minutes to 4 hours. We can never tell what the day will look like. We open at 7am/ish and close when sold out. The line begins to form around 6am or earlier. We sell out anywhere around 10:30am or so. Depending on the season, some people walk right in, we can never tell. If you’re looking for fast food, we might not be your spot. This isn’t your average bakery. Every pastry we make comes from time, patience, and a lot of heart. Chef prepares everything completely from scratch in a three-day process, which is why we close for three days each week to prep with intention. There are no shortcuts and no rushing here. Just real, thoughtful craftsmanship. We believe dedication goes both ways. Our loyal Ohana shows up early, and in return, we put our full care into the quality of what we serve. There is often a wait, and once we sell out, our bakery closes for the day. We’re a made-from-scratch mom-and-pop bakery, blessed to serve our community with aloha and a smile. If you enjoy pastries created slowly and intentionally, we’d love to welcome you. Arriving early gives you the best chance to try the cinnamon rolls many of our guests enjoy.

History

Established in 2022.

Papi’s Ohana Bakery & Pizzeria & Barista Lahaina, Maui A small, family-owned, made-from-scratch bakery and pizzeria rooted in faith, family, community, and a whole lotta luff & aloha. Named in honor of Chef David’s father, lovingly known as “Papi,” our little bakery began from humble beginnings. baking and making pizza for Wednesday night prayer gatherings in our living room. What started around our family table grew into something we could have never imagined. Chef David has been a baker for more than two decades, and at Papi’s, quality will always come before quantity. made from scratch. Never frozen. No shortcuts. The locals who have been with us from day one. The visitors who found us while exploring Maui. The familiar faces who return year after year. The first-timers who walk through our doors as strangers and somehow leave feeling like Ohana. We’re a true ma & pop operation, Come early, bring your patience, meet somebody new in line and enjoy the experience.

One of the best desserts I've had in all my life was here at Island Cream Co.! I am a huge banana…read morefan, and when I tasted the Banana Maui, their version of bananas foster, I thought I might fall over. It's vanilla ice cream (though I changed mine to banana ice cream so I could go totally overboard) covered in fresh bananas, brandy and banana liqueur, and two pieces of banana bread stuffed into each side of the cup. Indescribably delicious! Some places would make the banana bread an afterthought in a dessert like this, thinking that the rest of the dish would be so good that the banana bread could be just anything halfway decent. Not so here. The banana bread in this dessert was some of the best we had on the island during our entire two-week stay! I can't comment on the rest of the menu, since we didn't try anything else, but people seem to rave about other items here, too. The make-your-own shave ice at the Ultimate Shave Ice station seems to be a unique take on a Hawaii staple, and it's up to you whether you prefer an expert to be making yours rather than guessing at how to make it yourself, but if you want to be the boss, well, here you go! And it's definitely a hit with kids, as you might imagine. And their pineapple cream claims to be a much better and natural version of Dole Whip, so it's probably worth a try! Located in a modern strip mall, service here is friendly, and you may need to wait in line for a little while, depending on when you come. Not a ton of seating inside or out, but we did score a table outside and enjoyed our dessert in the beautiful Maui weather. The prices are about what you'd expect, no more and no less, and worth every penny! So do not pass up this dessert spot when you come to this part of the island. In my opinion, you won't regret stopping in!

We ended up getting 3 different flavors. I got the one sugar free dairy free option that they had which I think was a raspberry sorbet and it was delicious!!! I usually dislike sorbet, but this one was not too sweet and perfectly refreshing on a hot day. It was full of raspberry seeds and felt like it actually was mostly made up of fruit. My daughter was indecisive and tried several flavors, and the employee was more than happy to offer additional samples.

We skipped the pricey farm tour (we did coffee farm tours last year and are farmed out) and went straight to the chocolate café. They will give you a five piece tasting for free, either a dark, milk, or sugar-free flight. But why would you come here and just take... When you can also give back to folks in Lahaina rebuilding? So we got two free flights, one milk and one dark. My sweetie added on a drink, a pastry, and some very tasty chocolate and salted caramel gelato. I went with a make your own alcohol pairing, which was so much fun and very reasonable. For about $17, I got a shot of coconut rum with two chocolate pairings and a shot of premium Martiniquan JM volcanic rhum Agricole with another two chocolate pairings. And then I still had my free five pieces. What an amazing taste adventure, for cheaper than the price of a cocktail at a hotel bar or even a locally owned foodie place? I don't want to mess up your tasting - so you pick your favorites! But I normally don't like rhum agricole - and the pairings were such an amazing flavor adventure. Honestly, this is my number one recommendation in West Maui. Give the folks some business and have an amazing time! Oh, and they have jazz on Sunday nights' but I'm sure it's more crowded than than popping in during the day on a weekday. And also: the second floor tasting room has panoramic views of the ocean and around Lahaina. Check them out!

We left disappointed by the unfriendly service, very small portions, and a bill that felt wildly out of proportion to what we received. Our experience The setting is attractive and the renovation is a real improvement. However, the service lacked the warm, welcoming aloha spirit we hoped for, especially at a restaurant that markets itself as a Maui favorite. The pricing was the biggest issue: - $17.50 for an appetizer of only five wings. - $35.50 for a kalbi plate that amounted to roughly 2 1/2 ribs, chopped into seven or eight small pieces. - $19 for a small serving of mochiko chicken bites. - The kids' sliders were just two tiny burgers on Hawaiian sweet rolls. For two entrées, one appetizer, and two non-alcoholic drinks, our total came to more than $110. That is difficult to justify when both the portion sizes and overall service fell short. Bottom line We understand that Maui is expensive and that restaurants face high operating costs. Still, charging premium prices should come with generous portions, consistently good food, and genuinely hospitable service. Aloha Mixed Plate may have a beautiful new space, but at these prices, it feels overhyped and not like a good value. We hope they reconsider the portion sizes and customer experience, because the lack of aloha and the high prices could easily turn visitors away rather than make them want to return.

I've known Chef David for over 30 years. We met when we were 14 years old, long before there was ever a Papi's Ohana Bakery. I still remember when he was barely old enough to work. He got a job alongside his older brother, Francisco, in a small warehouse in Hayward, CA, baking pastries with both Francisco and his twin brother, Nano--the apple and cherry strudels, turnovers, pies, and other treats that eventually made their way into grocery store bakery cases. Even back then, it wasn't just a job to him. It was something he genuinely loved. That passion followed him through years of working in the Safeway bakery and continued to grow with every loaf, pastry, and dessert he made. Years later, David and his family made the courageous decision to leave California, where we grew up together, and follow God's calling to Lahaina. As a lifelong friend, watching that leap of faith blossom into Papi's Ohana Bakery has been one of the greatest joys of my life. Knowing the story behind the name makes it even more special. Papi's honors both the memory of his late father and his Heavenly Father, making this bakery so much more than just a business. It's a legacy of family, faith, and love. It's incredible to see how something that started more than 30 years ago has become such a beautiful blessing for him, Linda, and their family. As proud as I am of David, I can honestly say this isn't just about friendship--the cinnamon rolls are hands down the best I've ever had. And yes, I know I'm his friend, but I'd tell anyone the exact same thing after one bite. They're worth every bit of the hype. Living 2,500 miles apart now, I don't get to see him as often as I'd like, but this visit has shown me just how special this place is. From the incredible food to the warm hospitality, you can feel the heart, faith, and hard work that have been poured into every detail. If you're visiting Maui, do yourself a favor and make Papi's Ohana a stop on your itinerary. Grab a cinnamon roll, meet Chef David and his wonderful wife, Linda, and you'll quickly understand why this bakery has become so loved. They also have fresh baked Scones, stuffed croissants with options from linguica, spam and ham and cheese. They also have pizza during later hours. They are an amazing team, and it's a blessing to see what God has done through their faith, perseverance, and dedication. I have no doubt the best is still ahead for them. Congratulations, my friend. Watching this dream become reality has been an honor, and I couldn't be happier for you. read more

Maui morning adventure: Destination Papi's Ohana for the now infamous King David Cinnamon Roll. I got in line at 5:30 am with lightening and thunder threatening to open the skies on all of us waiting on line for a sweet treat. [They have a coffee window that opens at 6am so you can have your coffee while you wait.] In line behind me were two young ladies from Wisconsin who woke up and walked early in the morning from Whalers Village and another couple from Phoenix Arizona. Both were on their last day in Maui and waited all week to be in this line. Just as we got to the front of the line, the skies opened up and poured rain on all those still waiting ala March's crazy 'Kona Storm.' I drove the young ladies back to their hotel so they didn't have to walk in the rain and even picked up a roll for our new friends from our hotel who were still warmly tucked in bed. Verdict: 10/10 worth the wait! Light, delicate, almost croissant like texture roll with a light glaze. Melt in your mouth deliciousness. Where: in Kaanapali basically across from the Times Market next to the Food Truck lot. If you are visiting Maui, get out of bed before the sun rises and go make a few new friends while you wait in line for your slice of heaven.-- at Papi's Ohana. read more

Papi's Ohana in Maui is a dual-treat for food lovers. On weekdays, it's all about their cinnamon rolls. I observed people coming in and out, practically begging to get their hands on these delectable treats - a testimony to their irresistible allure. But come Saturday, it's all about their pizza. While they only serve pizzas on this day, it's undeniably worth the wait. I was so captivated by the flavor that I ordered an entire pizza for myself. What stood out was the baker's dedication. Every topping was placed with meticulous care, as if crafting a work of art. It's clear that at Papi's Ohana, they don't just serve food - they serve passion on a plate. Their special pizza was a revelation, the best I've had in years, if not ever. Whether you're craving the warmth of cinnamon rolls or the zest of a pizza crafted with love, Papi's Ohana is a must-visit. A gastronomic journey awaits! read more

We drove by and I saw "cinnamon rolls" and I knew instantly that Papi's was going to be amazing. We went inside and the dearest couple and their son greeted us warmly as David, the Dad, was tossing and kneading the largest mound of fresh dough I have ever seen one person handle. My childhood memories of my Mom's homemade cinnamon rolls flooded my heart and I felt like I was home again for a brief moment. I just knew I finally found cinnamon rolls that could compare to my Mom's rolls. I bought the "King David" and shared it with my Hubs. His response:"I need another one of those rolls in my belly soon!" We're from the Silicon Valley, California but we will return soon and Papi's Ohana will be forever on our "must eat list"! So Yummy! Can't wait to try their pizza! I just have a feeling their pizza is as good as my Mom's homemade pizza too. Secret ingredient... Love! Thanks, Karen read more

Living on Maui, I love supporting local businesses that truly embody the Aloha Spirit, and Papi's Ohana is one of my favorites. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the warm aroma of freshly baked cinnamon rolls and a welcoming atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. The cozy island vibe, friendly smiles, and genuine hospitality make every visit special. The cinnamon rolls are absolutely incredible--fresh, soft, warm, and bursting with flavor. You can truly taste the love and care that goes into every batch. A special mahalo to Linda and Lily for their exceptional customer service and genuine Aloha Spirit. Your kindness and warm hospitality made our visit even more memorable. Whether you're a local or visiting Maui, Papi's Ohana is a place you won't want to miss. Mahalo for a wonderful experience--we'll definitely be back! read more

Papi Ohana is definitely worth the visit! We waited about 3 hours in the morning to try what many consider some of the best cinnamon rolls on the island, and they did not disappoint. The sweetness was perfect--not overly sweet--and the roll itself had an amazing texture. It was soft, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. Despite the long wait, I would definitely say it's worth trying. The service was also amazing. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. They even allowed me to record inside and film them making the cinnamon rolls, which I really appreciated. That level of hospitality made the experience even better. Their accolades speak for themselves, and after trying the cinnamon rolls, I can understand why. Definitely a must-visit when you're on Maui! read more

AH-MAZING EXPERIENCE!! I recently contacted the shop to order 350 pastry items for our colleague appreciation day. David from the start was super helpful, worked with my changes and made the process go by smoothly. The best praised of all was hearing every one rave about how delicious the cinnamon rolls, the chocolate croissants and the blueberry scones tasted. Mahalo Papi's Ohana for the great experience! Much Aloha, Cynthia on behalf of our Hyatt Regency Palace 'Ohana read more

I've seen so many amazing reviews, and they have earned every one of them. For anyone complaining I have known David since we were children he's an amazing husband, father, son brother friend and follower of the Lord. He comes into work at 12:30 AM to make sure that everyone gets a cinnamon roll that has an out of the oven experience. I realize that everyone waits in line just like I did for hours, but it's worth it. That's why we do it. read more

If you're all about life-changing food moments, this place is your jam. Picture this: a cinnamon roll that totally owns Cinnabon. Yeah, I said it. You'll probably wait in line for it, but mark my words, the wait's like a rite of passage. Your taste buds are in for some serious high-fives! Be warned, you will be sad knowing there's no other place like it. So if you're on vacation, enjoy having it while it's accessible. read more

Papi's Ohana in Maui, has truly impressed me with its delightful cinnamon bun. This treat stands out as one of the best I've had in a long time. The bun is perfectly baked, with a soft, fluffy textured middle with a crispy outside and just the right amount of cinnamon swirl that melts in your mouth. Quality ingredients shine through in everything they make. They are always welcoming and provide a great space. read more

While the service was very pleasant, the cinnamon rolls were not what we expected. It did taste good however I ordered five and my cousin ordered four, three out of my five were overcooked and my cousins order as well. She had overcooked cinnamon rolls in her order. You can't pick which one you want you basically tell them how much you want and they give you what they give to you. read more

Decided to give this renowned Cinnamon Roll a shot. The outer layer is reminiscent of a croissant, yet the inside remains true to the classic cinnamon roll. Absolutely delicious, incredibly fresh. I intended to only indulge in half, but alas, my willpower crumbled and I devoured the entire treat. read more

When your wife says you need to wake up at 5:30am to get in line for a cinnamon roll, you should listen to her. This was well worth the early wake up and time waiting in line. Easily the best cinnamon roll I've had in my entire life. The scones were also delicious! read more

Obviously the big draw at this popular bakery is their sticky treats, cream horns are in 2 sizes and decadent, Hubby loved their fruit tart and the apple slice. Larger cakes are available too. We stopped by for breakfast after dropping off a friend at OGG for an early flight as they were one of the few places open at that time. Hubbs chose the special Island Boy and enjoyed the spam, bacon, soft scrambled egg and French toast combo. Very filling. I opted for the fried egg sandwich with 2 eggs, mayo, cheese and tomato on Rye. I was a little disappointed as it didn't have too much taste of rye with soft bread. It definitely needed hot sauce to pep it up. However it was filling and cooked to order. They also do salads and sandwiches and sell coffee and Hawaiian salt too. We will definitely be back for sticky treats again.
