Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Maui

"Following breakfast at La Provence—where you can splurge on lemon-cream crepes and a breve latte—cruise down to Makawao. Often touted as Maui’s paniolo town—a village that holds remnants of Maui’s cowboy culture—this small, eclectic settlement is a shopper’s paradise. And we’re not talking about big-box superstores and mall staples; rather, the boutiques here run the gamut from apothecary wonders (at Dragon’s Den Herb Shop) to high-end clothing (check out Hurricane and Oh, Baby!). Arrive early enough and you may be able to score some malasadas for later at Komoda’s—a hundred-plus year fave for Portuguese donuts."

"Stay for a while to acquaint yourself with the park’s singular creatures—the nene goose and silversword plant chief among them—before winding down the mountain for crepes and coffee at La Provence in Kula. Post-breakfast, aim to see the island from a different perspective by booking a paragliding excursion out of Polipoli. 3,000-foot tandem descents are offered to valiant travelers; those daunted by heights will find beauty and solace within Polipoli Spring State Recreation Area, which features a conifer forest and sweeping views of the ocean."

"My partner and I went to the sunrise at Haleakala and found this absolute gem by pure luck on our way back to our hotel. They open at 8AM, but would…”more"

"The largest mall in Maui, its shops aren’t “touristy,” per se, but the Queen Kaahumanu Center is a fun place to visit if you have a little extra time to kill before catching your flight home. Queen Kaahumanu Center"

"Once you’ve had your fill, knock souvenir shopping off your list by hitting up one of the many stores that comprise Whalers Village or grab some swag for yourself at places such as Cariloha Bamboo and Blue Ginger. Then, ascend to the top level for a brief tour of the plaza’s fascinating whaling museum, where 19th scrimshaw is on display next to one of the world’s largest whaling ship models."

"A conveniently a short walk from the beach is Whaler’s Village, which is an upmarket mall with a variety of shops and restaurants. In the evenings, the beach front resorts at Kaanapali, regularly host luaus , and attending one makes for the perfect end to a day at Kaanapali beach."

"This retro diner offers a hearty breakfast – eggs Benedict, omelets, hotcakes and French toast – and is conveniently located on the doorstep of Haleakalā National Park. There are also six rustic cottages,..."

"Begin your day in Maui with an espresso or blended drink from our resort's Starbucks® coffee house before exploring historic Lahaina. Or savor rich coffees, specialty drinks, pastries and other snacks before lounging on the sands of Ka'anapali Beach."

"If you’re ready to hit the beach and just want a quick bite, Cafe Kula is your spot. This grab-and-go cafe serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks of both the alcoholic and the nonalcoholic type. During Covid times, open for breakfast 7am to 11am, lunch and dinner 11am to 8pm."

"I’m a big fan of Molokini Crater, which has an inner protected area for snorkeling. You’re safe from swell and the water clarity is far better than off the shore. Molokini is also a reserve, so the ocean life is diverse and abundant. We love making the trip to Molokini, which is only a few miles off shore."

"Start the day with an express tour of snorkeling at Molokini Crater, as some boats, like Kai Kanani, have you back before 9 a.m. From there just focus on one part of the island, whether it’s experiencing Lahaina, beach-hopping in Wailea or simply taking the entire day to drive the Road to Hana."

"We selected the Molokini Crater and Turtle Arches Tour with the Pacific Whale Foundation and could not have been happier. The staff was friendly, the gear was clean and fit well, and the included lunch, while nothing fancy, hit the spot."
