We had to try it because of the hype. The hype is real. Very good cinnamon rolls. The lady that served us wonderful. We'll be back.

What an experience! I have been wanting to come here for a year and this year I finally visited. I had planned on going early in the morning like most but arrived around 10:30am. There was still a line but not too bad, from the time I got in line to the time I paid it was about a 45 minute wait. While you waited you can place a coffee order and they gave umbrellas which helped shield you from the sun and misters. Waiting in line wasn't too bad, everyone is excited just to get the cinnamon rolls so the energy is great. The whole staff couldn't be more friendly and welcoming! My 5 year old ate a whole cinnamon almost by herself! These are so worth the wait! We can't wait to go back! read more

The MOST DELICIOUS cinnamon roll I have ever had! This cinnamon roll was an EXPERIENCE! I'm used to cinnamon rolls only being good the first few bites because they are always dried out! Every SINGLE bite of Papi's cinnamon roll was buttery, gooey and absolutely HEAVENLY! I can taste and feel all the Love that goes into this Delectable treat!!! Many Mahalos! read more

The wait in line is so worth it. If you have experience baking, he definitely folded this a thousand times. It's so flakey, crispy on the outside, pillowy soft on the inside. It tastes like one roll has a stick of butter. The glaze is perfectly balanced and not too sweet. read more

Beyond worth the wait!!! We got there at 6:30 am and waited for about 2 hours. It started to rain pretty hard, but we toughed it out and were incredibly pleased. We have a huge party of 12 and got 8 cinnamon rolls and it was more than enough! We also got the Portuguese sausage and ham pastries and they were amazing! read more

Papi's Ohana is absolutely worth the hype! Their famous King David Cinnamon Roll is hands down the best cinnamon roll I've ever had! It was perfectly soft, gooey, and packed with incredible flavor. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, making the experience even sweeter. Three outdoor tables are available where you can relax and enjoy your hot, freshly made cinnamon rolls. While the line here is usually notorious, we went on Tuesday, November 4th at 10:42 a.m. -- no line and 14 freshly made cinnamon rolls waiting to be enjoyed. I'm sure they sell out long before the last person reaches the counter during peak visitor season. Everything about this place feels made with love. A definite must visit while on Maui. read more

Easily the best cinnamon roll on the island. Flakey/ crispy exterior with a soft/chewy center. Almost the size of a dinner plate, prepare for this to be your breakfast. Staff was also very kind. They have a system where you enter the through the front, you tell the employee how many you want while your in line, then you pick up and pay, then out the side door. Worst part of this experience for sures is the wait, got there 30 Mins before they opened, line was already backed up to the street which then had wrap around the corner as to not block traffic. Waited just about an 1.25 hours. Might want to consider coming back a little in the day or bring some music/ catch up on your shows like I did. read more

I've been wanting to try their cinnamon rolls for a while now, but we always tend to be out there on days when they're closed. I was just talking about it to my friends a couple weeks ago. So, the other day, a friend of mine happened to be working on that side and passed by. The line was short so he stopped to grab some. By the time I ate it, it had been in my refrigerator overnight. I warmed it up a little and dug in. First off, it is huge! There is an ample amount of icing on top and ooey gooey goodness on the bottom. The roll itself, even a day later, was so soft, fluffy and absolutely delicious. I can't imagine how amazing they must be fresh out of the oven! So, guys, if you're in the area, please go support this place. The hype is real! read more

Went late for pizza and it was great. We called ahead to set a takeout pickup time and it was waiting on us when we arrived. Very kind staff

Heard lots of good things about this place so I got up at in the morning to wait in line. Atmosphere it's a little cute shop which does have seating outside. Unfortunately it is in the sun and after waiting in line which also is pretty hot. Also, parking is small. The service was great the cashier was really sweet! Also got a kamaina discount which is always a bonus. Love that they support locals. Now the food the cinnamon roll was so good really airy and light didn't fell too heavy. It was pretty big though, larger than a hand. And just the right amount of sweet since I watched them glaze it with a brush. The cookies dough wise is okay I really do like the mix inside of chocolate and nuts. Overall pretty good place. The only downside being that coming from town arriving at 7 to get in line when they opened we still waited about a hour and a half. But I would say you should give it a shot if you have the patience and maybe a coffee to stay up. read more

We were staying right next door and kept seeing the massive line everyday. After a long walk around 11:20 we noticed there wasn't a line but thought everything would be sold out. As you can see from the menu we missed a lot of options but thankfully got my favorite two cinnamon rolls which were to die for. We also got the last ham and cheese croissant for my daughter which was delish. The employees were super nice too! Definitely worth it. read more

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

THE CINNAMON ROLLS WERE SO FRICKIN GOOD HELLO??? I don't know if I'd wait another 2 HOURS for one... for reference we got there at 7am. I'm very glad we powered through & waited in line because they were so good & HUGE!! These aren't your average cinnamon rolls. They're light, flaky, & layered like a croissant, with the perfect amount of glaze. You can also ask for extra glaze on the side for free, which I 100% recommend if you're a sauce person like me. The flavor, the texture, the buttery goodness... worth the hype. If you're visiting Maui, this is a must-try, especially if you're a pastry lover. This is a come & go pastry shop so don't expect to be sitting inside like a cafe. They sell their goods until they're sold out! Very kind people in there! read more

Go at 9:30am to get a shorter line! These cinnamon rolls were the best I've ever had and I love that they have an amazing mission. They also kept checking in on to see if anyone needed water or wanted to order coffee while we were in line. 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

Literally THE BEST cinnamon roll on the island but might be the best one I've had anywhere! The people are so nice too and when they told me to come back in the evening for the pizza I sure did and it did not disappoint either! Wow so delicious! I guess I got lucky to bc I've seen huge lines but managed to come at the end of the rush and got almost the last cinnamon roll! Felt all around lucky to not have to wait in line and to get to try the delicious cinnamon rolls and the pizza! Can't wait to go back! Call early to order your pizza ahead of time. You won't regret it! 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

If you've heard the hype, seen the line and questioned whether the wait was worth it, then you already know the answer is a unanimous...YES!!!!!!! My cousin and I woke up at the butt-crack of dawn and drove over from where we were staying. If I had to guesstimate, it was about 60 peeps deep by the time we joined the line. When they opened for business, it only took 30 minutes to get to the counter (seriously, not bad at all). The friendly staff did a great job controlling line, as well as, taking coffee orders while waiting. Once inside, you're immediate hit with the sweet smell of baked goods. I made my wait worth it and ordered the following: - 2 cinnamon rolls (amazing texture, not overpowering with cinnamon spice, and the creamy frosting was worth the spike in my blood sugar!) - 2 Portuguese sausage croissant (savory and flakey, just wished there was more meat inside) - 2 Spam croissant (the jalapeño added a nice kick) - 1 Tropical scone (really wanted to try the Aloha scone but they ran out, but this one was quite good and the perfect combo to my drip coffee) Would I do this all again?!? HECK YEAH!!!! As the locals say, "broke da mouth!" Cheers and happy eating till next time... read more

When we went there was a line but don't let that scare you because the line moved quick a it was worth the wait. The woman at the register and the man making the cinnamon rolls were the only ones we interacted with and they were welcoming and spread the Aloha. We got the king David cinnamon roll which was large and buttery and flaky, nothing like I've had before. It was so delicious. We also got Da Local Kine, blue berry scone, and Aloha scone. Everything was so good and would be back if we are ever in the area again. Keep up the greatness Papi's Ohana! And keep singing! read more

We wanted to start our Road to Hana adventure with a good to go breakfast, so we planned on going to Papi's Ohana -- a little hole in the wall we had seen earlier in the week. We arrived at 8 am on a Tuesday, and there was a line of 25 people. We didn't let that scare us off because we had seen the reviews and photos on Yelp. When we got to the counter, we were greeted by friendly staff who took and gave us our order quickly. I ordered the Da Local Kine Croissant, which is Spam, Swiss and jalapeño. I'm a Spam fan, so I had to give it a try. The croissant was buttery but not crispy. The jalapeño added nice flavor but wasn't spicy. Hubby got the ham and Swiss croissant, which he said stacks up with his favorite at home. We shared the King David cinnamon roll, which is served hot. Normally cinnamon rolls are kind of heavy, but this is the lightest, flakiest cinnamon roll I think I've ever had. We wish the croissants could have been served hot like the cinnamon rolls, so we recommend taking them back to your house or condo and putting them in the oven or heating on a pan for a bit. The line moved quickly and we were on our way at 8:15. When we drove by at 8:30, there was no line. Maybe they sell out some days, but going after the opening rush seems like the time to go. They serve pizzas at night, and we're trying to figure out how we can fit that into our schedule! 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

I managed to secure a roll on my last day in Maui before the weekend. The extremely long line felt worth it by the end. By long I mean, long and humid.

Papi's Ohana was honestly a very disappointing experience, especially given how much hype surrounds this place. We went on Christmas Day, driving up from Kihei and arriving a little before 8 a.m. Parking, surprisingly, wasn't bad--we found a spot fairly quickly. Unfortunately, that was the smoothest part of the experience. The line was insanely long and moved incredibly slowly. To put it into perspective, I stood in the same spot for about 30 minutes at a time before the line moved at all. If you plan to come here, expect a very long wait with minimal movement. The wait itself was brutal--there was no shade at all, so wear sunscreen if you attempt this. During the wait, one of the bakers came out multiple times to tell people behind us that they were not in the "safe zone," which made me think we were. That gave us hope, even though things already felt questionable. We were there for the famous cinnamon rolls, and we were willing to wait because this was literally our only chance. We had arrived in Maui the day before, and the shop was closing for the next three days. While waiting, we kept seeing people walk out with huge pizza boxes of cinnamon rolls--some holding 5 rolls, others clearly leaving with 10-12. Every time that happened, our hearts sank a little more. What really bothered me is that knowing Christmas Day would be extremely busy, the shop did not: Enforce a limit on how many cinnamon rolls one person could buy Or prepare extra batches to accommodate demand After waiting about three hours, a baker came out and told us there were only 50 cinnamon rolls left--meaning there was no chance we'd get one. We were devastated, but he assured us there would still be scones, croissants, and cookies, so we stayed since we'd already waited so long. In my opinion, the store really should have implemented better policies for a day like Christmas. A simple purchase limit would have gone a long way in showing that the business actually cared about customers who waited for hours. Instead, it felt like luck and bulk-buying determined who got anything at all. As we got closer, first the croissants sold out, then the scones. By the time it was our turn, we got the second-to-last box of cookies--sold only by the dozen. There were still 30-40 people behind us, all of whom left empty-handed. I really wish the cookies were sold individually so more people could at least get something. No one on vacation in Maui needs a dozen cookies when there are endless food options on the island. As for the cookies themselves--they were okay. Not bad, but definitely not memorable or worth a 3+ hour wait. I did appreciate the mix-ins (milk chocolate, white chocolate, macadamia nut, pistachio), but they weren't anything special. Since I didn't get to try the cinnamon rolls, this review is based purely on the experience and the cookies. If I ever manage to try the cinnamon rolls in the future, I may update my review--but as it stands, the lack of crowd management and consideration for customers made this a frustrating and disappointing visit. read more

Expect the line to be long but it definitely went by fast. The line was just at the coffee window at 9:15am on a Monday morning and was able to be inside within 15 mins. They do offer other items like scones, breads and croissants, which was already sold out. At 5pm they start serving pizzas. The cinnamon roll is perfectly warm when you get it and is boxed to order. It's nice to have a roll that isn't overly sweet. Parking lot of small and is shared with other businesses so we parked in the bigger parking lot (where Times is located) across the street and walked. They do have a window where you can order coffee from while you are standing in line. Oh and they have Kamaʻaina for us locals! Love that! read more

Went here twice, once for the breakfast bakery stuff and once for the pizza. Bakery stuff was a 4 (cinnamon roll and aloha scone, everything else sold out). Cinnamon roll was giant and not too bad, albeit I'm not a huge cinnamon bun person. Overall nice flavor and a lot of it. Scone was pretty nice too, had it over the course of 3-4 days on our stay here. Pizza though is a 1 star through and through. Got a margherita and a Bella Bella (pepperoni, mushroom and ranch). They ran out of basil, so the former was just a cheese pizza. Bella Bella was okay, but overall the dough was so lackluster; the crust was very dense and overall just reminded me of Costco or chuck-e-cheese pizza. To top it off, the Parmesan in the packets they gave us were brown, which generally means they were old af and exposed to a lot of temperature variations. read more

Totally worth the wait. We visited on a Tuesday in early April so I think it's kind of peak spring break time. We arrived at 6:05am and we were #3 in line. You could already smell the cinnamon rolls baking. By 6:30am the line had grown to about 20-25 groups/families. At about 6:50am an employee came out and told us they weren't quite ready yet and it will be an extra few mins. Then the doors opened a few minutes past 7am the line was totally through the parking lot and wrapped back around, ending basically at the restaurants exit. We got two croissants (one spam and one ham) and two cinnamon rolls. Everything was excellent. The cinnamon rolls were huge and flakey and buttery. If it was earlier in our trip I'd plan a second visit for another roll. It was so good! read more

Absolutely THE BEST cinnamon rolls. They are huge and butterfly and not too sweet. You can taste the freshness and love. We saved some for the next day and they were still delicious and soft. Don't sleep on their scones either!! Real fruit, dense and soft at the same time!! Worth the wait in line to support a local business. Order a coffee and chat with the people. You'll get some great suggestions for local fun!! Best way to kick off any visit to Maui. read more

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.

Papi's Ohana is an absolute gem! The food is incredible, fresh, flavorful, and you can tell everything is made with a lot of love. But what really makes this place special is the people and the true feeling of aloha you get from the moment you walk in.

If you're on Maui, do yourself a favor and stop by Papi's Ohana. You won't regret it! Definitely one of those places I'll keep coming back to. read more

Yes these are amazing, cooked perfectly and smothered in frosting. The line seems to go on until they sell out. Just be careful everyone, these are irresponsibly huge, tragically frosted.

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
