She was easy to work with and provided great menu options and ideas to make the evening really special. Hilary, Tim and Sofia came to the house and did everything from decorating to food prep to clean up after. We did family style but they brought everything to the table for us to enjoy. Hilary and team were an absolute delight!

She met with us ahead of the party, reviewed the dining options, food allergies, and desired foods. And! And! - appropriate leftovers for lunch the next day for us to recreate on our own. Chef Hilary and assistant Tim did a wonderful job from start to finish- prep work, cooking serving , portions sizes and - most importantly- clean up! I had time to visit with my guests instead of running to the kitchen constantly. We had plenty for the next day, all tasty and easy to reheat. I'd hire Chef Hilary again and hope I have another opportunity soon. Hire her. You will be happy.

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

SWEETS: Green Apple & Strawberry Banana The mixture of green and white bears are way bigger in size than the Haribo-brand version. The green apple flavor was very distinctive and spot-on but the strawberry banana was more of a creamy strawberry. Awesome Blossoms These are multi-colored, fruit-shaped gummies that give off a strong fruity smell upon opening the pouch. The flavors were very bold and tasted like real fruit juice. Amazing! Strawberry Red in color and yup, tasted like a strawberry. A favorite among the office and the first bag to go out. OVERALL: I like a little sweet carnauba wax every now and then, LOL.

Amazing cafe with clean interior and delicious pastries!…read more With a sleek modern aesthetic, the inside is cool and perfect to work/study for just hang out before a flight as it is close to the airport and has free wifi. I also saw someone bring their dog, so I guess it must be pet friendly too! Parking: own parking lot, but in the morning It is super busy so may need to park elsewhere when coming before noon Got the: 1. Hazelnut coffee mouse: 10/10 to die for, absolutely would get again, likely tomorrow 2. Chocolate croissant: 10/10, absolutely amazing, legit French croissant 3. Coconut roll: 10/10, scrumptious but may be a little sweet for some TLDR: you won't regret either a quick pit stop, a relaxing get together, or a extended working session here, as the pastries and inside are just awesome

Dark Chocolate Truffle Mochi? Phenomenal. Peanut Butter and Milk Chocolate Mochi? Excellent. Biting…read moreinto both at the same time for a peanuty-chocolatey mochi combo? Heavenly. I'm not a mochi person, but Maui Specialty Chocolates didn't disappoint with their offerings. They definitely know how to make irresistible sweets. The Dark Chocolate Truffle Mochi had a lovely, decadent filling surrounded by super soft, chocolate-infused mochi. I have never been so amazed at how jaw-droppingly delicious this type of confection could be. This was the item I was looking forward to trying the most, and I can't wait to purchase more when in Maui. The Peanut Butter and Milk Chocolate had a peanut butter-forward filling with crushed peanuts for an awesome texture, and the mochi was pillowy yet held its shape well (slightly firmer than the truffle's). My mom experienced major emotional nostalgia eating these because they reminded her of her mom's mochi, something wonderful that she hasn't eaten in nearly 50 years. Other chocolates that my family and I really enjoyed were the 100% Kona coffee and dark chocolate, the Hawaiian-style rocky road (mac nuts, marshmallows, and rice crispies), regular dark chocolate pieces, dark chocolate covered Spanish peanuts, and dark chocolate peanut butter cups. I pre-ordered mochi over the phone the day before pickup, and I paid in-store after selecting some wrapped chocolates for gifts. Look for the yellow banner above the shop door. Parking lot is small but free; I had no issues finding a spot during a weekday afternoon close to closing. Staff were patient and knowledgeable. They also sell a bunch of cute stickers for $1 each.

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.
