    Huge Cinnamon roll
    Rob L.

    Another local place in the Kaanapali area. The cinnamon rolls were really good. No need to wait in line at Papi's Ohana. We also had the option to eat these delectable pastries right by the ocean.

    Banana bread and chocolate croissant

    We were staying nearby and hubby picked up a few things from here and it was all delicious. We got the banana bread, cinnamon roll, chocolate croissant, avocado toast and breakfast toast with eggs.

    Berry cheesecake
    Edward W.

    Food: 4.9/5 Service: NA/5 Value: 4.7/5 Stopped by and was mesmerized by their berry cheesecake, and oh my goodness it didn't disappoint. If you're ever around here, would STRONGLY recommend the cheesecake. The cheesecake is thick, the crust is even thicker, and the berry glaze adds a nice sweetness that's not too sweet while there are whole blueberries inside to add just a touch of tanginess to some of the bites you take. We loved it so much we came back a second time close to closing but they were out of the cheesecake already. What a bummer but glad I got to experience it once.

    Display case of beautiful pastries.

    The pastries on display in the cases all looked delicious and screamed EAT US. I succumb easily to pastry pressure so we got a brownie and a piece of coffee cake (blueberry). The brownie was ooey and gooey with crispy edges. I am not a chocoholic so one bite was good enough for me, though warm and topped with a scoop of ice cream would have been amazing. The coffee cake was oddy devoid of flavor and not something I'd order again. Staff wasn't particularly helpful but maybe it's because they were busy and only had two people behind the counter. The empanadas looked good and I could be persuaded to go back and try them. But I think I'll skip the sweets.

    It is an Argentinian run family business it seems. We tried the pau vegan empanadas. were delicious. I tried one first and then ordered two more. The guy that took our order gladly charged us just the difference of the amount we paid for one. One is 7.25 and 3/20.00.

    Clearly I was sold at fresh sourdough, they sell individual rounds, fresh from the oven and even better with local honey and butter. We also snagged a few empanadas to heat up throughout the week with a side of cheesecake, so all in we were pretty happy with our first try of Pau. The staff are friendly and the vibe is welcoming.

    Located about a mile down from the Times market on Lower Honoapiilani Rd in Kaanapali this little gem I found by chance and SO thankful I did; coincidentally it is located right next to Bad Ass coffee. Pau is Italian owned and Italian operated and I don't think of the several times that I visited did I encounter any one of the staff who didn't have an Italian accent. Pau was amazing in every way; the quality of the coffee, the expertise in which it was prepared and friendliness of the staff. Let's not also forget the quality of their unbelievable pastry selection and empanadas. I could sit there all day and eat the empanada's; I only sampled the chicken and beef and both were equally delicious!! . Go online and take a look at their menu as they have other options as well regarding food to eat for breakfast etc. Now I would be remiss if I didn't mention that I have been to Bad Ass coffee on previous visits before and I absolutely have no idea why people continue to wait in long lines at Bad Ass when in my opinion Pau's quality and service is far superior... it can't be because of price as a 12 ounce latte with a double shot of espresso is only $5.50 at Pau. I honestly feel you will not regret giving ' this little slice of Italy' a shot and when you do I think there's a good chance you'll be hooked liked I am. "Also make sure you get there fairly early and grab a warm fresh baked loaf of sourdough bread...SO GOOD" They open at 7am and close at 2pm... small parking area but a a lot of people coming and going so it's pretty easy to grab a spot.

    Bread Pudding
    Gino T.

    I love to explore neighborhoods when I travel and we were in the Honokowai area of Lāhainā taking in the beautiful ocean views from the Honokowai Beach Park and noticed Pau Bakery across the street. Well they had me at Bakery, great small establishment filled with fresh baked goods packed full of flavor. Some seating inside but essentially a grab and go place. Staff is very friendly and helpful, offering free samples as you peruse the cases filled with both sweet and savory treats as well as mini cakes. Decided to pick up a few sweet items and went with the cinnamon rolls, the coffee cake and the bread pudding. The savory case was filled with house made empanadas of various proteins and vegetables, they looked amazing but figured will have to return for those since we were heading out for the day and had no way to keep them until we got back to the resort. The cinnamon roll was very good, the perfect amount of sweetness combined with cream cheese to make the ultimate icing, and it's not drenched in icing so the ratio of dough to icing was spot on. They are good sized so you could actually share it and still feel like you weren't shorted of deliciousness. The coffee cake was prepared with blueberries and had a streusel type topping, cake was light and flavorful. The bread pudding was tasty, dense and not too sweet, we tried a few bites but will enjoy it more when we get back to our resort and can warm it up a bit. All and all it was a great find in a quiet little beachfront neighborhood. Great place to pick up fresh bakery to have with your coffee in the morning's while taking in the fresh ocean air and the sounds of the waves bringing that Maui zen. Well done Pau Bakery, I will be back to try your savory empanadas next Mangiamo e dulce tutti. Ciao

    We got to Pau around 8am on a Thursday morning and only waited about 10-15 minutes to order and get our food. We ate across the street at the park which was nice. They have a pretty big menu from breakfast and lunch sandwiches, to empanadas, to sweets and pastries. Good coffee menu also. Great experience overall.

    Caprese and Pau (vegan)  empanadas

    I went in for the Empanadas and they did not disappoint. I have been back a second time already. Highly recommend, hot or cold. They have so many other good offerings, you are literally spoiled for choice for breakfast and lunch. Highly recommend and the staff are so friendly ad service is quick. I just need another week to try more items. Enjoy.

    Beef empanada meh
    Todd M.

    Came for the empanada. Just a tad disappointed. The place was fully stocked on them. Maybe I got the wrong one. I got the beef. Not so flaky. No flavor in the filling. Also had to wait about 10 minutes for the thing. Staff is great though!

    We tried the empanadas, bagel sandwich, and the cinnamon roll. Everything was great!! The empanadas were just as good as the ones we had in Spain and cinnamon roll was so flavorful! I would definitely come back.

    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.
