Aloha fellow BES' Kine Goodies Seekers!…read more I LOVE MANUELA MALASADAS so.stop by every time I go to Costco! They are right across the street so I may drive to the lot right next to the truck or just run across the street ! It's a cute, very clean food truck right off the hotel driveway & parking lot with parking stalls right near it in case you buy a bunch to take home. Or have a car full of luggage from your flight to Maui since it's just down the way from OGG airport. Malasadas put donuts to shame!!! ESPECIALLY if you like gooey fillings & toppings. My favorite ones are around Christmas but they have tons of regular fillings. I can never get less than three because I can't pass up my chance to try new ones. They have wonderful staff... especially the manager Sabrina...really know their way around dough and they do not scrimp on the Malasadas itself or the fillings! They ONLY cook just for you... so plan a few minutes wait but they have picnic tables under a tarp right there or you can walk around the other food trucks. But definitely at least take your first bites there while they're hot out of the frier!!! 'Only ONE piece of advice: ... G O. H U N G R Y !!!! ...

One of my must haves while in Hawaii is to find Malasadas. Luckily, when my family and I went to…read moreCostco, Manuela Malasadas was across the street with other food trucks. Of course, I ran over and ordered a bunch of different filled Malasadas. Manuela Malasadas did not disappoint my family and me. Lilikoi was my favorite.

There are so many yummy sounding options that we really want to try. We will return probably the next time we're in the mall.

They had other fruit pies and their April special, a matcha strawberry pie. I really liked the pie! I feel like some coconut desserts can be too coconutty, but this had the write balance of both coconut and chocolate. It didn't feel like one flavor was overwhelming the other and it was silky and smooth. There are tons of parking spots in the area and food as well! The staff here was friendly as well and the shop is pretty cozy to hang out in. If I ever visited Maui again, I'd come back to visit this shop.

It takes 3 days to make the vegetarian pot pie and she was not sure when they would make more so you can't pre order. I asked if there was any dairy in that pie she said she did not know. She said most people who ask for the vegetarian pot pie just get the chicken pot pie. She left me doubting the very existence of their vegetable pot pie menu item. Selling pie is hard.

I've tried a lot of pastries, but this is officially my favorite croissant spot. George surprised…read moreme with breakfast in bed this morning from Momona and I'm always blown away. We had the Nutella and the Lilikoi, and they are absolute units--massive, beautiful and perfectly executed. The pastry is light and incredibly fluffy, but stays dense and decadent because they don't skimp on the filling (it's actually in the center, not just a garnish on top!). The Lilikoi was a total standout--bright, fresh, and perfectly tart. I found myself breaking off the flaky layers just to dip them into that golden center. If they sold it in jars, I'd be the first in line. If you're looking for the best bakery on the island, this is it! XOXO, ChelsieFletcher

My friend and I stopped by Momona to grab pastries and coffee for our trip to Hana…read more - Guava Cube Croissant (between $6 and $7) - I don't remember how much each of these pastries were exactly but they were a bit under $7. I thought the shape of this croissant was funny and I did want to try something guava. I did find it to be dry and quite bready? I've never had the cube croissant before so perhaps this is just the style of them. I liked the guava filling but thought the cube croissant part was okay. It did seem like this one had more dough than filling. - Lilikoi Croissant (between $6 and $7) - I found that this croissant was not really flaky. There was a really good filling to croissant ratio in this one. However, I did appreciate the strength of the lilikoi flavor in this croissant, and the filling did taste fresh. - Macadamia Nut Latte ($6.85)- we both got ours iced, 12 ounce and with regular milk. We honestly enjoyed these lattes more than the croissants. The macadamia flavor came through quite strong (in a good way) and was pretty unique. There is a small parking lot and lots of seating inside. We saw a couple chickens wandering around outside when we grabbed our pastries.

If you are looking for a fun vibe and amazing desserts, S7 Icy Bubble in Kahului is a must-visit!…read moreThe entire shop is packed with the cutest pink aesthetic, claw machines full of adorable plushies, and fun retro water games that will make you feel like a kid again while you wait for your treats. Here is what we got: * Ube Thick Milk: Absolutely incredible! It has that perfectly rich, authentic ube flavor, beautiful marbling, and just the right amount of sweetness. If you love ube, this is a 10/10. * Cookie & Cream Rolled Ice Cream: Super satisfying to watch them make and even better to eat. It was perfectly creamy, loaded with chocolate drizzle, whipped cream, and a classic Oreo on top. Perfect for sharing! The presentation is incredibly photogenic, the staff is sweet, and the whole atmosphere is just pure joy. We will definitely be back to try the Matcha Frappuccino next! Until next time!

The bandaid was ripped off yesterday when I took my mini to get pizza from little Caesars yesterday thinking we could dine in but it's carry out only. Icy Bubble had a lot of people going in and so we spontaneously went next door and put our pizza on one of their small tables. It was game over. My mini was throwing a tantrum and wanted to eat asap, so we quickly ate our food there. Then we walked around a bit and I kept seeing all the treats everyone was going in for and walking out with. They have so many cute items and there's a Lego wall. We are definitely going back and spending a bunch of money lol. Check them out.

As a a funnel cake fan I had to go try it out. Overall very solid batter nice and fluffy and lots of flavor. Lots of options as well and toppings to choose from.

This time it wasn't dry and the extra sauce made it a much more enjoyable burger. Really appreciate the level of service provided!

You don't want to be disappointed and to show up only to find out they're all gone. Reserve, pick up, and enjoy! We got the dark chocolate truffle, red bean paste and peanut butter milk chocolate mochis. They were all delicious. The mochi skin was so smooth, so soft, and nicely chewy - just how a perfect mochi should be. And then fillings were complementary to the mochi skin - not too sweet, just right (so you know, when I drink milk tea, I usually go for 25% or if any milk tea with syrup, then 0%). Dark chocolate truffle had a very nice smooth dark chocolate truffle taste, and if you like dark chocolate, you'll love this. Peanut butter milk chocolate had a very nice texture with the chunky peanut chunks. It was deliciously chewy, crunchy and savory! And the traditional red bean paste, it was yummy. Only regret is that I didn't buy another set of all flavors to bring home to store in the freezer to have for the weeks to come. If you have had mochi from Twin Sisters in Hilo, this place comes neck to neck to theirs except that Maui Specialty Chocolates don't have any fresh fruit mochi which is all made up by how delicious the mochis are on Maui. Sorry, no picture as mochi was devoured before the camera came out
