I recently discovered the Maui Candy Company sells The Good Apple! I was craving some fancy apples…read more& sent my boyfriend here to pick me up two. One was a fancy chocolate one & the other was one of my favorites, the strawberry matcha. Pro tip: If they have these in stock you'll have to ask because they are stored in the fridge. Until next time. Xoxo, ChelsieFletcher

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.

My family and I always make a point to stop in and pick up treats to take back home to Oahu…read more Call ahead and place an order because they run out of mochi. Their mochi--especially the peanut butter & chocolate or the truffle varieties--never disappoints. We also grab a few boxes of their rocky road and keep them in the fridge.

Wow! This is such an amazing find to have their various flavor mochi!…read more First thing first! Call to make your mochi reservation. 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

Aloha fellow Tourists! My cousin was born and raised on Maui. He sent treats from Obachan's to…read moreCalifornia. This is a stop you have to make while visiting. If you don't make it, then order from their online shop. You won't regret it! If you are Latino, I guarantee your favorite thing in all their snacks will be the "Spicy Whole Seed" and "Sweet & Sour Whole Seed" if you're anything like my Mexican hubby. We could not stop eating them! The LiHing Mango and dried Papaya were also very delicious and had the perfect combination of flavor and texture. The LiHing gummy Peach rings are unexplainable. It tastes like no peach rings you have ever experienced. I don't even like peach rings like that. Strangely, it feels like love was literally put in the bag. It's not listed as an ingredient, but it's totally in there. Maybe it's Aloha, maybe it's just quality ingredients. Whatever it is, I hope the recipe never changes, because everyone should experience it! If you're a "foodie" this is a must stop shop on the island.

This family-owned gem is hands down one of the most delightful places I've ever visited! From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted by the warmest smiles and the friendliest faces. They have a good selection of local candies, drinks and chocolates. Love that they had dippin dots too on those hot days! If you want to support a local business that treats its customers like family while enjoying some of the best candy around, Obachans is the place to be. It's an experience you won't soon forget!

I am from Oahu and had a friend who is not from Maui but was in the hospital on Maui. I was looking…read morefor a way to send a gift basket to the hospital. I tried an edible arrangement but they would not deliver it to Maui hospital. I was able to get a hold of the kind lady from Lee Bear and although it was after hours, she took the time to talk to me. She listened to my situation and kindly took down my information and when she went to the store the next day, she made my order and delivered it to the hospital!! What amazing service! This is a prime example of living aloha!! I cannot even say how much I appreciated what she had done for me and how much it meant to me. The person receiving the gift basket was also elated and enjoyed the delicious treats that were in the basket!! Mahalo nui loa Lee Bear!!

Honestly surprised there aren't more reviews for Lee Bear! They are a Maui institution and have…read morebeen serving the community with specialty chocolates, candy making supplies, handmade crafts, and amazing gift baskets for over 30 years! Their little store is small, but mighty and the service is nothing short of spectacular. What *I think* they're mostly known for is their gift baskets/boxes. When holidays, birthdays, special occasions roll around, Lee Bear is such a great place to find an assortment of goodies for friends and loved ones. Their gift baskets are filled with treats like candies, Maui Cookkwees, gourmet cookies and rice krispies that have been dipped in a rich, decadent chocolate coating; freshly hand-dipped in their store to ensure high quality flavor. My favorite is the white chocolate covered pretzels with rice krispies, marshmallows, etc. SO good. It's the first thing I call dibs on when I see it. Haha! Just recently, I stopped in when my little one suggested we make lollipops. They had a wide selection of molds, gel food coloring, candy thermometer, basically everything and anything we needed. They even sold the white chocolate covered rice krispy treat by the package! It's a bit of a splurge, but I like what I like and will pay for it... lol. When we checked out, the lady (I'm assuming the owner?) asked us if we've made lollipops before and offered up so many tips and hacks. She answered all of our questions and even provided a mini recipe book that she suggested we keep as they don't make them anymore. I was really impressed, but not really surprised, with the quality of their customer service. That's what I love about mom and pop shops and the reason I will continue to support local businesses like these. Next time you decide to make a treat or need a quick, easy gift, you don't have to spend hours shopping for the perfect gift. Stop by the store or order a sweet gift basket from Lee Bear & Co Inc.

She explained all the options of sweets because we were new to the cuisine.

I enjoyed shopping at Island Grocery Depot. The staff are super friendly, engaging, and helpful…read more One staffer shared a recipe with me about making empanadas using a flour tortilla! I like the exchange of ideas, and found her easy to converse with. The cashier was helpful in signing us up to be a member. The store offers a wide variety of items, not just fresh groceries, frozen items and drinks. They also sell bulk paper products- plates, utensils, cups, bowls etc., and quick ready-made hot food to go. The store has wide aisles, adequate parking, and a good variety of food items. I'm amazed that you don't have to look for a cart as the customers return their carts where they belong. Good alternative to the super stores that sell bulk items; however, you may have to still visit other stores to purchase everyday kitchen ware. I'll definitely be coming back to shop here.
