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.

Ohhhhhhhh, this brownie wins the lifetime award for excellence- moist, Great chocolate, flaky, extra Yummy (has walnuts)

What a bakery, full of treats, closes at 2pm , so make sure to prioritize your Day!! Ohhhhhhhh, this brownie wins the lifetime award for e xcellence- moist, Great chocolate, flaky, extra Yummy (has walnuts) So many treats to choose from!

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.

Banana bread and chocolate croissant
Daniela J.

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.

Display case of beautiful pastries.
Vicki B.

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.

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.

Caprese and Pau (vegan)  empanadas
Steven H.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Then you can't stop because each bite gets you high. Then you finish, the high goes away and you quickly spiral into depression, not knowing when you'll get another hit. Next thing you know, you're selling your kidney and left nut despite telling everyone in your AA group you don't have a problem and can stop anytime. That's me. Here's what I had: - Spam croissant - Sausage croissant - Signature King Davids Cinnamon Roll Their croissant was something very special. I've had a lot of pastries internationally in Japan, Korea, Singapore and lived all over California for 10 years. The soft and buttery texture of their croissant is akin to a luxurious French bakery. The spam and sausage filling were incredibly seasoned well. You can't go wrong ordering this! Now... what about the Signature King Davids Cinnamon Roll? Does it live up to the hype? Is it the best cinnamon roll in Hawaii? Is it the best cinnamon roll I've had in my life? Is it better than sex and the city season 2? If the part of your reptilian brain is wired like most to be addicted to buttery, flakey, gooey textures with frosting that has a micro dose of fentanyl-laced cocaine straight from the Tenderloin district of SF, then f*** yeah! This mom-and-pop store is unforgivable when it comes to their uncompromising quality over quantity ethos. The constant line of passionate customers willing to wait many hours proves that point. Aunty Linda and Chef Dave are unrelenting in their vision of perfection which is only second to their kindness and generosity treating every customer as part of their family. Coming here is a one-of-a-kind experience that really represents the Aloha spirit Hawaii is known for. As a born-and-raised local from Maui who's traveled the world and moved back, I could not be more proud to support them. All my local friends and family have heard only good things but most have never tried. I'm about to change that! I encourage everyone to give it a try! THIS PLACE IS EPIC!

I did a little bit of research before visiting Maui, and via a few social media videos and…read morearticles, Leoda's Kitchen and Pie Shop turned up a few times. Being British, the wife and I like a meat pie and saw this was one of the main things the café is known for. On our trip up to Lahaina, we decided to stop by and see what it was like. There was a line out the door (good sign), and pinned to the door was a note letting people know what things they'd sold out of (chicken pie and something I can't remember). We decided to get in line and see if it was worth the wait. It was full inside, and some people sat at the limited places outside. We ordered a meat pie each, plus a coconut cream pie as a treat. Luckily for us, some seats inside became available and swooped in! The meat pie was really, really good. It was packed with meat, a little bit of potato, and thick gravy held it all together with a great consistency. The pie was made in a small pot, so only had pastry on the top, but it was tasty and tasted as if there was a hint of cheese in it. The pies are a good size, so either share or bring a big appetite. The coconut cream pie was also great. The cream on top of thick custard and sprinkled coconut flakes was delicious. Long story short, this became one of our favorite places to visit (3 visits!) The best time to visit is outside of the mad lunch surge, and try to swing by around 3pm. It's quieter; you get served quickly, so you can sit back and relax. The wait staff was generally ok, although we did once have a server who didn't look happy serving anyone. The décor is simple, and the place seemed well kept. There's plenty of parking outside, although it can be problematic getting back out on the main road if you're heading South, as the main exit forces you north. Tip: travel the road behind Leoda's called "Olowalu Village Rd" and follow it south. It will take you to a junction which was much quieter and easier to get out to return to the 30 southbound. Overall, a decent experience with delicious pies worth a detour for. Will return if we're ever back in Maui.

Shoutout to all the hard working, fast, and kind workers that keep Island Vintage Coffee. Y'all all…read moredeserve raises. We were in Lahaina for a few days, and for the two days we came by for coffee and acai bowls, it was packed. The weekends get hella busy, so order online for pick up to save time. Monday afternoon was pretty chill, just some tourists and mall workers getting their orders in. I got an acai bowl and my friends got an open faced sandwich and their iced mocha. The acai bowl is really filling. ALSO love that they indicate nut-free items in their granola and in their acai base like almond milk for example. My friend and I just finished surfing and were looking to grub. They have indoor seating as well as a few outdoor spots. They have serve-yourself water and a trash can that fills up quick--that's how busy they get! Remember to tip, and always support local.

It's located within Whalers Village in Kaanapali, a nice mall with local boutique stores and some high-end shops too. There's a small parking lot next door that's free for under 30min, then I believe $4 per half hour after that. - Vintage Kona Mocha - icy, frozen Kona mocha; a little unevenly blended with some frozen bits left at the end, but still super tasty and refreshing - Island Latte - coconutty with a hint of macadamia nut; a good classic that I get every visit - Papaya Acai Bowl - papaya on top that mixed really well with the granola; fresh acai base with frozen banana - Original Acai Bowl - my personal favorite; blueberries, strawberries, banana, granola, and a fresh acai base - Hawaiian Honey Latte - classic base with locally sourced Hawaiian honey; nice and smooth The vibes were friendly and welcoming, and Island Vintage is always a popular staple. There's plenty of seating inside the cafe, so you can sit down comfortably or easily take it to go. Customer service was friendly, and they made our drinks and acai bowls fairly quickly. Checked them out every day at the start of our remote work days!

So nice we had to come twice! My wife and I visited Maui on our honeymoon and saw so many great…read morereviews about sale Pepe so we decided to try it out. We got a reservation on the 2nd night of our trip and loved it so much that we came back on the 3rd night lol. Here's what we ordered: Focaccia (2x): May be one of our most favorite appetizer breads we've ever had, so delicious and warm with just the right amount of salt on top. The view of the puffed up focaccia is a reason to order in itself. Pair with the Caprese stracciatella! Caprese stracciatella (2x): A different take on traditional Caprese but was delicious, the mozzarella curds worked so well with the tomatoes. Everything was fresh and we loved using as a dip with the foacaccia. Calabrese piccante (1x): I ordered this the first night and it was great! The dough that they use is a game changer and would recommend any of their pizzas simply to try their dough. It is very close to the focaccia and we highly recommend. The Calabrese is pretty spicy, just a heads up. Alfredo tagliatelle (1x): *not pictured* My wife ordered this the first night but was not a huge fan. The Alfredo was more buttery than creamy and just wasn't super memorable. Bufala margherita (1x): My wife ordered this the second night and loved it! The dough was amazing and the buffalo cheese made such a difference. She did not that it could have used a pinch of salt on top but otherwise was delicious Lasagna (1x): I almost didn't order this the second night because I was going to split a pizza but thought to myself, "When in Rome.." This truly was one of the best lasagnas I've ever had, I'm so glad I changed my mind and got it. The pasta was fresh with the cheese and beef. It was so good! Would recommend to anyone and everyone who comes, my favorite dish out of all of them. Overall, a great vibe and great food.
