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.

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.

Beef empanada meh

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.

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.

Probably get best cinnamon rolls I've had in a while! Very casual place just down the street from another quite famous cinnamon roll spot. The folks were so nice too! We took our food across the street and had a delicious brekkie right on the beach. It was heaven! Can't wait to come back!

Breakfast sandwich in a croissant

The service is always phenomenal. The staff is so friendly Valentino takes my orders all the time and is so helpful with suggestions! The location is perfect. We love to come here for coffee and a pastry to take across the street to Honokowai beach park. Absolutely stunning views and the clearest water. The pistachio croissant is amazing. The breakfast sandwich was delish. They have free samples almost every day if their other sweet treats. I will keep coming back! Mahalo Pau Bakery !!

We stopped on our little road trip and split the egg/bacon bagel. It was so good. We also bought a cinnamon roll to eat later. They are huge. I warmed it and each ate 1/4 saving some for later. It is by far the best cinnamon roll either of us have ever had. Shamefully - I licked the plate

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.

This place came up on our search for breakfast a few times so we decided to give this a try. They have great looking choices overall, especially with the food that is displayed in the shelves! We had their croissant and chicken empanadas. Both were great. Their salmon toast was good too. If you like Kona, the coffee store next door has some good options that complement the sweet treats here. They do have limited parking so do plan to spend some time finding a spot especially if you are on a schedule.

Pau's is a fun bakery, a little out of place in Lahaina but refreshing and welcome! They do sweet, Argentinian, using fresh local ingredients. Favorite bites: Balcarce was amazing and unique Cream puff was delicious Other bites: The chocolate cream puff used chocolate that wasn't my favorite

Pricey $$$$ We ordered the Alfredo gnocchi and the porchini…read moremushroom pasta special. Really good...I will definitely be thinking about these rich alfredo gnocchi. Tgey have the absolute best texture I have ever had woth gnocci. I reccomend adding a vegetable or mushroom to break up the richness. The mushroom pasta was also tasty. Lots of big mushroom flavor. Rich in a good way. Rich foods are so filling. Good service. Sat outside in a small cramped tiny 2 top table but worth it.

I loved Qiana and Michele's story of resilience, being the first restaurant to open after the 2023…read morefires, and I expected my family and I to have a wonderful experience for dinner last night. But we didn't. And it was due to logistical decisions made by staff. Let me explain... We had a 7:15pm reservation but arrived to a large crowd waiting out front and no one at the hostess stand. We were able to check in closer to 7:30. I felt assured when Qiana politely told an impatient patron that she had to seat those with reservations first. But that party of four, and others, were seated before us. After 40+ minutes waiting, Qiana apologized for a table that was lingering and asked if we wanted to wait for a table upstairs or be seated on the crowded lanai (with several young children) or wait a bit for a table upstairs. I chose upstairs. We waited for that lingering party to depart; no one left. Then 15-20 minutes later, we were seated upstairs. That was one hour after our reservation at 8:15pm. The logistical decisions and bad luck continued because there was a large party of ~10 also seated upstairs and they took priority over us. Our entrees arrived 45 minutes later (9pm by now). By this time, my family was very hungry and a little mad at the situation. I felt disrespected for the circumstances. The staff was nice, but actions were speaking louder than words. I usually rave about food in my reviews, but the long wait and how situations were handled (there were more I'm not describing) colored our special evening out and how the bites were received. Our evening at Sale Pepe turned out to be a low light, instead of the highlight I expected, from our Maui holiday.
