Pumpkin Custard Pie - VN
Vince N.

I've tried only one thing from S&J Bakery. My workplace orders it annually come Thanksgiving time and most recently a co-worker picked one up for us to devour as an afternoon dessert. DESSERT: Pumpkin Custard Pie First off, I'm a huge custard pie fan. Pumpkin, I'll eat but don't enjoy it as much as my eggy love. Mix the two together and you've got a damn tasty concoction. S&J's crust is the closest to my mom's homemade version, yet hers is still better ;). Flakey and moist with a surprising crunch to the exterior. The texture of the filling is my only quibble. The closest paradigm I can come up with is that it's similar to ricotta cheese; gritty and gelatinous. I'm guessing that's what happens when you combine the two fillings together. It's not repulsive but just a bit odd on the palate. That tidbit aside, the pies always have a fresh, quality ingredient-taste. Top it with some whipped cream and you'll moan with pleasure, lol. Highly recommended. OVERALL: Mmmmm... yessss... ooooh... ahhhh... yessss.... I'll have what she's having!

Cute mom and pop business that has consecutively had great pies over the years. Definitely a staple in our house during the holiday season.

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.

While it's a bit of a turn off for me when there are no prices displayed for any of the items, I'll still support you at least one time. There was the spam only musubi and one with egg which is what left with me. Initial visual is that it's juicy because of all the space and rolled in furukaki which are both things that I love! Nice hot when it left in my hand and out the door we went. The taste is good as the sauce wasn't too salty and the rice was just right; not to hard or soft. The rice was still able to hold together and the additional furukaki was generous. Nice shop to try! Street parking was easy for us this time

I worked with Sean a few months back on a catering job for a meeting I was hosting in Wailuku…read more(better late than never!). I was looking for someone who could handle breakfast and lunch and he delivered beautifully -- our attendees were all thrilled with the food (and specifically mentioned it in their evaluations). We did savory breakfast shokupan + honey butter toast + drinks (cold brew coffee, matcha latte, and a butterfly pea tea) for breakfast (and Sean threw in some extra muffins for me), and a variety of bentos and a mango and a strawberry cream layer cake. He even made up a special bento for my boss who had dietary restrictions. Sean was easy to work with and quick to return my anxious phone calls, plus the prices were so amazing for the quality of food. Highly recommend for your meetings and group events on island!

I finally went up to someone as she was looking at the clipboard & asked. She apologized & we went right in. Had to get the drymein of course & the French fries. Nothing changed, dry mein is always nothing short of good. A good amount meat & some soup to add in if you would like. Mine miraculously came without bean sprouts which was great as I forgot to ask. Service was great & coming here is always so nostalgic. Till next time.

We made sure to pay a visit on our first free lunch day! Of course, coming during the lunch rush we had to wait for maybe 20 minutes outside before getting a table for 4. Longest 20 minutes of my life LOL! Paid off though when we finally got seated! Ordered the usual suspects: -Dry Noodles (Dry Mein) ($18.95) - DOUBLE sized for 2! Or one Hungry Hawaiian HA! -Cheeseburger Deluxe ($5.95) -French Fries with Mustard/Mayo ($5.95) -BBQ Stick (Beef and Chicken) ($3.75 each) -Manju ($1.25 each) -Turnovers ($1.85 each) I was so hungry I forgot pics of half my order! Shared the Dry Noodles with my Mom but honestly I ate 75% of that double order LOL! Just as awesome as I remember - just needed a dash of the soup, splash of shoyu, dab of Tabasco, and a lot of cracked black pepper! Ugh, so ONO! The Cheeseburger Deluxe and French Fries were honestly not gourmet, but the nostalgia factor brings it up a notch for me. Don't forget to dip into their Mustard/Mayo mix, it's a game changer! The BBQ Sticks were a little overdone this time but I'll let it slide because I do love that char on the edges. And you can't leave without having a manju and turnover (or 2....of each LOL) for dessert! Not much has changed at Sam Sato's over the decades (except maybe the prices, they went up!) and that's the way we like it! Old schoo for an old foo like ME!

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. Everything is made to order and always so fresh! A few days later, my family and I had to come back again for seconds! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I mean, just check out their reviews, how could you not want to try it? Maui Pastry's dessert are Japanese style and all handmade by Ayumi, the owner. She posts pop-ups on her Instagram acount at @mauipastryayu and you seriously need to be quick. They sell out in a flash! Thankful to Bethani for giving me the heads up and hooking it up! Because of her I was able to try two delectable cheesecake flavors: Caramel Apple Cheesecake with walnut & graham cracker crust and Dark Cherry cheesecake with walnut crust. Oh my goodness, every single bite was heavenly. My favorite of the two was the caramel apple! I am not super into cheesecake, but swear, these didn't taste as heavy or overly sweet and oh the walnuts in the crust were absolutely perfect! You can really taste the quality and care that goes into every single bite. If you miss out on the pop-ups, you can put in an order for a whole cake. Place your order at least 5 days in advance and text them for any questions! I can't wait to try them again. It does cost a premium, but for a once in a while thing, I am happy to indulge ;)
