Ah this place is so good we went twice during our short trip! If the line is out to the parking lot expect to wait 30-45 minutes. It helps to order ahead but you will need to order the day before - they don't do same day orders. Also some things you can't order online like their musubis, etc. However you can still get their malasadas and croissants, etc. We tried all their malasadas and our favs were the coconut cream and the lilikoi (passion fruit). We also tried their mango bread which was moist and fruity (no chunks of mango in it though) and the lime pie which was lovely! However, I think the big surprise for me was that the malasadas are smaller than I expected. The first time I had a malasada was at Leonard's in Oahu which are like...the size of your hand. These are more like golf ball sized. They were still excellent but I think that just caught me off guard. But we still enjoyed them! read more

IMHO I rarely get a chance to buy malasadas from Sugar Beach Bakery because they sell out early, and we're coming all the way from Ka'anapali. This trip we got lucky! It was an early April afternoon, and they still had a small selection of malasadas available. I snagged one chocolate filled, one vanilla filled, and two sugar dusted malasadas, $1.50 each, plus two streusel banana breads, $8.25 each and four regular banana breads, $8 each. The malasadas were for us; however, I thought the banana breads would make great souvenirs to bring back home. Back at the resort, we froze most of them, and on the morning of our departure, I carefully packed them in my luggage and carry-on bag as precious cargo going home! Customer service was excellent and friendly, as always! Get thee to Sugar Beach Bakery, next door to Ululani's! read more

How did it take us this long to stop here, especially since we've been to the Farmer's Market next door so many times over the years. On vacation, who says you can't have malasadas for breakfast. No one, that's who. So, we stopped by on the way to the beach to finally try their malasadas, li hing, lilikoi, and haupia. Since we were early enough, it was made to order. Although all good, it was surprisingly the li hing that won us over so much, we got 2 more and a seasonal pumpkin to go. read more

Amazing spam masubis (especially the jalepeno ones!) and pretty good malasadas! They only had vanilla and chocolate malasadas by 7:30am! Be ready to wait in line, but everything is homemade there! read more

Sugar Beach Bake Shop - Desserts Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Sugar Beach is just down the road from many of the hotels and great beaches in Kihei. This little local bakery has some wonderful bakery items including malasadas. If you're looking for malasadas, I feel they have some of the best to be found on Maui! Deliciously sweet and soft with a creamy filling; it's hard to stop eating them. In fact, I found myself going back there every few days to get my fix of velvety dulcitude. My advice, buy a box with your +1, find a spot on a bench and give your taste buds a delightful infusion of of one of Hawaii's infamous treats while you watch the chickens and enjoy the outside Hawaiian weather. read more

I love coming here for the malasadas as well as the spicy spam musubi. There is usually a line but it moves fast. I come pretty early and parking is not an issue then. If you can find a spot in the parking lot, you can try parking across the street by the beach. Whenever I'm staying in wailea, this is one of my first stops for the yummy goods! Coffee wasn't bad but it's really the malasadas that rock my boat here! My fav ones are coconut and ube. Cant wait to come back when I'm in Maui next year! read more

It was our last day and we went to get malasadas for breakfast before our hike. It was our first time trying malasadas and we thoroughly enjoyed them all. Each malasadas was $2.75 and we chose ube, passion fruit, and coconut. There was a good dough to cream ratio and can be quite filling. The dough was light with a denser middle. They remind me of the donuts from i'm donut but less fluffy. It's a small little bake shop located right next to Ululani's Shaved Ice on the left. They sell malasadas, pies (which were quite expensive - more than Leoda's Kitchen and Pie Shop), and drinks (matcha latte, etc). You can see the malasadas right on the counter when you walk in. The lady was nice and told us which ones were popular. I think if they sold more flavors it would be a hit like matcha since they already serve matcha drinks or any other ingredients they already have on hand. read more

Popular as there was a line to enter but definitely worth it if you're a sweet treat lover. They had a wide variety of options including merch for sale. The malasadas were so fresh and delicious, my favorite was the coconut. We ended up visiting 2x during our stay! read more

Sugar Beach Bake Shop is located in a small plaza, sharing a parking lot with the Farmer's Market, ABC Store, and Ululani's. There are known for their malasadas, coffee, and other baked goods. We went around 7:30 AM and there was already a line. Be sure to get there early before the malasadas sell out! We ordered a coconut malasada, ube malasada, and a coffee. All of them were delicious. I especially enjoyed the ube one, so definitely give that one a try. Now onto the hidden surprise (well, at least for me)! This place also sells spam musubis! I love eating spam musubis and I always have to try one wherever we go. I noticed they had musubis in the back warmer and I knew I had to get one. I got the spicy musubi and it was probably the best musubi I've had on this trip. If you like spicy, then this is a definite must try! The jalapeño inside the musubi gives it a good kick. After eating it, I got back in like to order a few more for the road. Overall, I highly recommend trying this place. Come get their popular malasadas and coffee, but don't forget to try their spicy musubi! read more

The best Fresh baked Masaladas on Maui! Like a doughnut and a beniget had a baby, but with ooey gooey filling! The passionfruit one was my fave. Heaven! Chocolate was my second. Grab them fresh and hot! They didn't make it to the beach or the condo. We scarfed them down in the car!! Definitely made with Aloha! read more

We had a bagful of fresh, delicious malasadas back in July 2015. No such luck on 8/29/25. These plain or filled doughy treats are available between 6 - 10am, but sometimes one can luck out midday day. Parking lot and outdoor seating is shared with ABC Store and a popular shave ice spot, so can be a bit busy. Enticing pastry case and well curated gifts/souvenirs are also available. We did end up buying a lemon bar and a pineapple, orange, and guava (POG) tart. Tasty, however it is ideal to eat them same day as purchased. Before heading to the Kahului Airport, we detoured again on 9/2/25 and scored on some chocolate filled malasadas. We ate these with local chickens walking around nearby. I also bought a Tshirt. I enjoyed talking briefly with the proprietor. Expedient, efficient customer service on both occasions. Business has been around in Kihei since 2014, good longevity. read more

We wanted to come here for the malassadas. We got there at 12:30 and I got the last 3. So if you want them make sure you are there by 10am. I scored 1 ube and 2 coconut. Both were delicious! They had an amazing variety of desserts from brownies, personal pies, and macaroons! I was happily surprised to see individual quiche pies as well! We picked up a quiche that had kimchi and Portuguese sausage. It was SO good. We also got a POG tart and coconut cream pie. The ladies that work there were very sweet. Parking is in a lot and its limited. Outdoor seating only. Is it worth the drive?...yes read more

Next to the Ululani's shave ice is the Sugar Beach Bake Shop. Since it's lunch time, they had limited choices. We saw the stuffies, like the cream puff and wanted to give it a try. We tried the coconut and lilikoi flavor. The outside of the stuffies is like donut and the filling is like custard. This is perfect if you have it with a cup of tea of coffee. A very nice treat. read more

We love this bake shop. It's located across the street from our condo, so we visit it often while we're in Kihei. They have a large selection of sweet and savory treats. If you get there early you can buy some Malasadas, but really with any of the pastries it's a good idea to check them out in the morning. By afternoon everything is pretty much picked over. Their personal pies are delicious including the Chocolate Banana which was our favorite. It's a favorite place for getting early morning coffee and a pastry, so you'll see lines if you go too early!! If you like baked goods, stop in this place. You won't be disappointed. read more

Good spot for a Malasada and a coffee! They also sell teas, other food items, & other sundries to take home. The ube was delicious, my kids liked it too! Good customer service! I only docked a star because by 1pm you could tell it wasn't super fresh. Maybe they could offer to warm it a tad? Not sure if anything can be done about that! read more

Sugar Beach Bake Shop - Ube malasada - Desserts Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

Legit small bake shop in Kihei, Maui. Quick service! Variety of pastries to choose from. And they also serve coffees. My husband came here on a Monday morning, the day after arriving Maui. And for 1 reason only, we wanted to try their malasadas. Ube malasada - is my favorite! I wished it's a little bit bigger with more filling. Bread itself is soft. Lilikoi malasada- is another alternative if you're into something sour. Flavor is balanced and not overly sour. Banana loaf bread- my second favorite here. Very good in price compared to the Hana banana bread. Moist, good in size and also the crumbles on top is amazing. We purchased 1 and took it home with us. So good if you warm it before serving and pair it with coffee. Highly recommend Sugar Beach bake shop! We'll return again on our next Maui trip. Tip: Be sure to check their hours! Although, they are open 6 days a week and closed on Monday's. They also close early every day. read more

Ululani opened this bakery, so I had high expectations going in. We got the lilikoi, ube, vanilla malasada and a li hing donut hole. The malasadas were good, but nothing compared to Leonard's on Oahu. I wished the malasadas were warm or could be heated up, but they were just room temp. However, we waited for the fresh batch of ling hing donuts to come out and oh my god, it was the single best bite of food on this trip. The donut was hot and flavorful and the li hing coats your tongue with tartness. SO GOOD. read more

This bakery was a MUST to visit from many locals and also friends who suggested this place when visiting Maui! The shop opens at 6a and we were told to get there early because lines get very long, so we got there at 530a and were first in line. The shop is so cute and you can see all the chickens just hanging out . We got as much as we can so we didn't have to come back out again. We got 4 banana breads and the stuffed malasadas. We got the Ube, Coconut and Chocolate and we got the Macnut Sticky bun Oh man everything was so worth it and good! I honestly wish we brought more so we can take home! We will be back for sure! read more

Very much worth the hype and wait in line! My husband and I stopped by twice - once after driving up Mount Haleakala to watch the sunrise and the next day after driving Road to Hana. We ordered each flavor of malasada (ube, vanilla, chocolate, lilikoi/passion fruit, coconut), an iced coffee (sugar beach blend), and a mocha latte. The coffee and latte were the perfect treat after waking up so early but the malasadas were our main reason for stopping in. They did not disappoint! Each flavor is strong without being overwhelming. After reading some Yelpers' reviews, I wish they offered to warm ours up! My favorites were the ube, coconut, and lilikoi but they were all delicious! Would have loved to try their masubi but they must have sold out by the time we got there. We definitely will be back the next time we visit Maui! read more

Intimate local bakery with malasadas and pastries. Stopped by after visiting the Iao Valley and ordered all of the malasadas (because why not). We had vanilla, lillikoi (passionfruit), chocolate, ube, and coconut. The best was the lillikoi with chocolate being the second. The dough was soft and there was a good amount of filling. They accept credit cards. There are outdoor tables with seating. read more

Sugar Beach features baked goods and coffees. My family tried an assortment of their malasadas and coffee and they were all soo good!! The li hing malasada was a pleasant surprise; a nice blend of slightly salty with sweet AND it was warm and fresh. Note: come early! My family came late the first day we stopped in Kihei and they were all out of malasadas (online it says malasadas are served 6am-10am). Lesson learned. We came around 7 the second time around. there was a line, but we got our malasadas!! So worth the wait though! read more

Their malasadas are soft & fresh everyday and sell out quickly. I ordered one of each of their cream filled malasadas (vanilla, coconut, lilikoi, chocolate, ube). There's always a line because the inside is small, just prepare for a little wait. The flavors are all strong- my top three favorite are Ube, lilikoi & coconut. Parking- small parking lot shared with other businesses read more

Holy crap, the line at this place. Come as early as you can!! The malasadas are really excellent. I thought the ube filled malasadas were the yummiest. My daughter had otherwise no appetite that day but she was willing to and enjoyed the malasada! We also tried their sticky bun, which was also tasty. I also got the furikake mix which was a good snack. It makes a nice Maui gift to bring back home! read more

Sugar Beach Bake Shop is a must if you're on the island. It gets really busy and they run out of malasadas, so make sure you go early! We are obsessed with their cream filled malasadas - the ube one in particular, although the lilikoi is also so good. Their mac nut sticky buns and Bees Nuts latte are incredible. Also loved their jalapeno corn cheddar scone. They also have a cute souvenir / merchandise spot in their store! read more

Go in the morning and get warm malasadas!! They are so amazing fresh!! The filled ones were okay. They weren't fresh so they weren't our favorites, but we liked the lilikoi and custard best! The ube and coconut were okay. The guava cheesecake was pretty good as well! A nice tart layer of guava on top and rich and creamy. read more

The place was pretty busy, but not too busy and the line moves fairly quick. We got here at 10 AM and there was a lot of masaladas left in all flavors. The passionfruit and vanilla one was our favorite and the Ube was also still really good. Having pretty good flavor. There's so many more desserts too that we also tried their banana bread and it was cooked perfectly and had a really strong banana flavor. A small little shop and friendly vibes and cool decoration. There's also lots of chickens and roosters running around. read more

One of the best ways, if not The best way, to start the day is to come and get a hot malasada and coffee from the Sugar Beach Bake Shop.

Very solid bake shop if wanting malasadas. I picked up a lilikoi and vanilla cream malasada, turkey croissant, and ham and cheese croissant. We also got a spam musubi and my daughter enjoyed it more than Foodland. Overall solid but nothing wowed me. They have a good assortment considering how tiny it is inside.

Finally got to satisfy my sweet tooth with some tasty treats from the @sugarbeachbakeshop speaking of which I'm currently a fan of the Chocolate, Lilikoi & Ube Malasadas:) Usually every time I pass by here there's always a line out the door but seriously its worth the wait. Plus for some entertainment you'll probably see some roaming around outside. Then you'll have a chance to check out the merch once you get inside & you'll spot some more fun finds. P.S. I couldn't do a beach day without my @sanlorenzo_bikinis read more

How did I forget to take pictures!?! Got some ham and cheese croissants, coffee and some malasadas. Everything was good but the malasadas were more donut like than malasada to me. They were still good though. Service was fast and friendly. We were going to come again on Sunday but they were closed. There are picnic tables outside to enjoy your food. I would come again to try their other treats read more

When you are in Hawaii, it's a custom to have a malasada or two or three! We were so pleased to be staying close to this great local bakeshop and we're in awe of the variety of goodies. Hubby had to get two chocolate and a vanilla and in the last minute I got a spinach quiche. The flavors in the quiche are amazing! Sweet carmelized onions and splash of black pepper leaves a savory kick in your palatte. The filled malasadas were missing more of a dunk in sugar for us. We are spoiled of course. I'll definitely try a hot one next. Parking is available in front and around the farmers market. read more
