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

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.

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!!

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.

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

Even picked up two Açaí Bowls -- they were a bit expensive at $15 each (cash only), but totally worth it. Possibly the best Açaí on the island (Maui).

They had a promo sign stating "Buy four at $7 each and the fifth one is free-$38.00" so for $$39.60, we got 5 types. They taste nothing like what we sampled. Every single one is awful. The coconut taste like mint, the Maui mud pie is stale, the chocolate taste like perfume...ugh!!! There is a number on the bottom...is this the expiration date? Was is last year? Is it when it was made? Buyer beware! We opened it to slice a sample of each for dessert with a group. Everyone agrees something is "off" with this award winning fudge. Feeling very disappointed and irritated that I'm out $39.60. I should've just put two $20s into the trash, cuz that's where this is going.

I first saw Hawaii Fudge Company at Costco when they had a table set-up and were giving out…read moresamples. The second time I saw them was at the Made In Maui County Festival. Both times, I really really liked their turtle fudge. Unfortunately, they were only selling it in boxed sets and not individually. I just wanted that one flavor! The third time I saw them was when my husband & I were randomly strolling through Front Street in Lahaina. I thought to myself, "That packaging looks really familiar... Oooo, they have sweets. Let's go in!" Sure enough, it was the same company with the turtle fudge AND they were selling them individually. The girl at the counter was really friendly and informative, telling us how the fudge is all made on Maui, how they used to make everything in this tiny Lahaina shop, but now have 2 locations (another one in the Kihei Triangle). In the Kihei location, they also hold their fudge making class, which I've heard about and have been wanting to try. I had no idea it was the same company. It was all coming together! The same girl proudly told us she had samples of every single flavor and happily obliged when we asked for specific flavors. As much as I loved the turtle flavor, I ended up randomly getting the Maui mud pie. Go figure! I "just knew" I would like that flavor and I do! She also gave us a sample of the toffee and I picked up a box as a gift for someone. Both are delicious ~ Actually, all their flavors are good! In addition to fudge & toffee, they also sell taffy and coconut candy. Everything in their little shop is $8.50. $8.50 for one little block of fudge, you say?! YEP. I'll pay for a good product that I want & will enjoy ++ you're supporting local. I've paid less for other fudge on island and most of it goes to waste :( This stuff is legit! They do offer a small kamaaina discount and I was given a rewards card to use for return visits. I definitely recommend them, especially if you are looking for Maui Made goodies to give as a gift or to just enjoy for yourself!

I joined a FB group for Maui residents, in hopes to figure out how I could help their community…read morerecover from the fire. I would have flown to help, but I'm a single parent that works full-time and I have my cats that I need to look after, too so leaving San Jose wasn't an option. Instead, the group helped me figure out where I can lend a helping hand to. I donated canned goods and dry foods to the Maui Humane Society. I purchased and sent school supplies to a teacher. Last, I wanted to do something nice for the kids.. to show a bit of positivity in light of darkness. I purchased 40 teddy bears and I placed an order w/ Heidi to surprise the same kids that are waiting for the stuffed animal surprise to arrive. Heidi reached out to me thanks to the FB group. Her bakery is also listed on the sheet where businesses have been impacted, so I knew I would help brighten the kids' day and support a local business. I ordered 4 dozens. She has a lot to choose from, but Heidi suggested chocolate chunk and snickerdoodle to keep it simple for the kids. I agreed, but could have opted for any/other flavors if I wanted to. After a few exchanges, the cookies were picked up yesterday. Look at the packaging! So beautiful! I bet it tasted delicious and decadent as well. Thank you, Heidi for helping me coordinate the whole thing. I appreciate you. Stay safe. Mahalo!

I have been a Maui Cookie Lady fan for ten years! Up until November 2019, we visited Maui on an…read morealmost yearly basis. (Yes, we are way overdue to get back on island!) I had heard about the Maui Cookie Lady cookies in early 2016 and knew that I had to get one the next time we visited. At that time, the cookies were only available at various local markets that would get a delivery once or twice a week. There was no dedicated retail store then. In November 2016, it finally happened! I was able to find a small supply of Mitzi's, the Maui Cookie Lady's, cookies at the Market Maui (since closed). My first cookie was Da Half Baked - a chocolate chip cookie stuffed with Reese's, Snickers, AND Oreo! OMG...only a super creative cookie chef extraordinaire could have imagined such a delight! I knew that I would be a fan forever!! On every subsequent trip, I sought out the amazing cookies. It wasnʻt always easy to find them, as the batches were small and offered in very limited locations. I would be on a mission and never gave up until I found them. My friends and co-workers were always so excited when I brought them back a "world-famous Maui Cookie Lady" cookie when I returned from Maui. In late 2020, the year after my last trip to Maui, the Maui Cookie Lady opened up a retail shop in Makawao. I haven't been able to stop by in person yet, but I will be going the next time I visit. I tell all my friends about the cookies, and several have been able to stop by the cute shop. When I am lucky, a friend will bring back some ono cookies for me. The Maui Cookie Lady cookies are not like most of the cookies you are used to eating. The first thing that you will notice is that they are really big!! I like to say that they are "gargantuan"! The second thing is that they are made with creative ingredients that may be familiar to you, or they may be new. Many of the varieties incorporate local ingredients lilikoi, Kona coffee, and macadamia nuts. The combination of flavors will excite any cookie loverʻs taste buds. Donʻt worry if you are not local to stop by the shop in person. You can order cookies online, individually or via the monthly subscription box. If you are visiting and want to take a few home with you, know that they can be frozen and stay great when you want to enjoy them. They do not contain preservatives, which I think is a big plus. In addition to creating great cookies, Mitzi is a big supporter of the community. She helps with various fundraising efforts to help those in Maui. As a former teacher, she is connected to educators in Hawaiʻi and their special needs. Once I get back to Maui, I will visit the store and update this review. I can't wait!
