20 Best Bakeries near Wailuku

“the salted caramel and the white chocolate macadamia nut are amazing!!!!! The salted caramel has a rich butter flavor. I bought some for me and as a gift for my dad. He loved them all. She is so kind and even threw in an extra for us. I'll definitely be ordering from her every vist to Maui. Delicious!!!“

“Amazing ! This is simply delicious😋😋😋😋 Very friendly persons !! Mahalo / Aloha“

“Snagged 4 dozen butter rolls on our way back to Alaska- they were for Thanksgiving, most went to the Anchorage/Matsu area but some traveled as far as Fairbanks.

Delicious, wish we had these available locally!!! Price is good, food is great! Service is awesome!

(It wasn’t our only dozen while visiting, we made 4 trips total here in a week)

Keep it up! Open a location in Alaska please :p“

“They made a gorgeous strawberry cake for my mom’s 60th birthday. They were even able to do a strawberry buttercream and lemon curd filling. It was perfect.“

“I've tried only one thing from S&J Bakery. My workplace orders it annually come Thanksgiving time and most recently a co-worker picked one up for us to devour as an afternoon dessert.DESSERT:Pumpkin Custard PieFirst off, I'm a huge custard pie fan. Pumpkin, I'll eat but don't enjoy it as much as my eggy love. Mix the two together and you've got a damn tasty concoction. S&J's crust is the closest to my mom's homemade version, yet hers is still better ;). Flakey and moist with a surprising crunch to the exterior. The texture of the filling is my only quibble. The closest paradigm I can come up with is that it's similar to ricotta cheese; gritty and gelatinous. I'm guessing that's what happens when you combine the two fillings together. It's not repulsive but just a bit odd on the palate. That tidbit aside, the pies always have a fresh, quality ingredient-taste. Top it with some whipped cream and you'll moan with pleasure, lol. Highly recommended.OVERALL:Mmmmm... yessss... ooooh... ahhhh... yessss.... I'll have what she's having!“

“Sam Sato’s is one of those spots where you walk in as visitors and walk out feeling like part of the neighborhood. My friends and I stopped by and were instantly swept up in the warm, local vibe — friendly staff, quick service, and an ambiance that feels both classic and comforting.

We tried a little bit of everything and honestly enjoyed it all. The cheeseburger deluxe hits that perfect old-school diner nostalgia. The signature dry noodles are a must, and the super dry noodles with vegetables takes it to another level. Don’t skip the yakitori — simple, smoky, and delicious.

Beyond the food, what really makes Sam Sato’s special is its heritage. From a humble general store in the sugar-cane fields back in 1933 to a beloved Maui institution today, you can taste the generations of care in every dish. It’s the kind of spot where recipes and smiles feel like they’ve been passed down through the family just for you.

Whether you’re grabbing takeout or sitting in for a quick bite, Sam Sato’s serves up flavors that linger long after you’ve left. “ʻO ka ʻai i loaʻa ke ola” — food that gives life — has never felt more true.

A must-visit on Maui for anyone who loves great food, great people, and a real local classic.“

“We have been regulars here for about three years. Love the friendly, laid-back atmosphere, the fantastic lattes and of course the avocado toast - but most of all the music. This place is musician-friendly and audience-friendly and everyone has a great time. Highly recommended.“

“Amazing donuts, breakfast sandwiches, and burritos. If you’re burning thousands of calories biking out in Stilwell, you can afford to and don’t want to miss out on stopping by to fuel up just south of 199th on Metcalf!!“

“Great array of Northern Philippines dishes. Think pinakbet, monggo, pinapaitan, Filipino BBQ, phenol, fried tilapia, sinigang na bangus, langka viand, and so on... One of the few places in Maui where you can have legit dinakdakan. Aside from plate lunches, there's a bakery section for care packages, and a frozen area section for your good 'ol longganisa, tocino etc. The place has great ambience, service is friendly.“

“What a great bakery, the coffee is excellent. And the malasadas are so yummy.“

“Aloha
Amazing food . Highly recommend this vegan place in Maui ! All the vegetarian out there should definitely checkout this place. We tried the protein focaccia sandwich, supreme burger and matcha with maple syrup. Everything was amazing.“

“The best I’ve EVER had.! Way better than Granny’s pie! Total Five Star! I highly recommend the Lilikoi cream.“

“I am so delighted to give these cookies a 5 star review. I was trying to think of ways to support local businesses after the fires and I will be ordering more soon. Thank you for making such a delicious shortbread cookie.“

“My sis was running in the Maui half marathon, and I couldn’t be there but wanted to do something special to celebrate the milestone. EmmaLee reached out to me immediately following me reaching out via her website, and helped me bring my surprise vision to life. Despite me being in Texas and the difference in time zones, she went above and beyond to make sure everything I needed and wanted was met. I couldn’t me more thankful to her for helping me celebrate and surprise me favorite person in the world! Thanks will never be enough 😊.“

“Beautiful Anniversary cake they made us and also was delicious, just how we wanted it. He made are anniversary even more special 🩷“

“Their sour dough bread is very good! Also their bagels are some of the best on the island. Their olive focaccia is excellent.Their cakes are ok and I didn't like their doughnuts very much.But for being a grocery store bakery, and for their prices on Maui, I definitely recommend to buy bread at Safeway Bakery.“

“We had a great breakfast here before starting on the R2H drive. Our coffee drinks were very tasty and the bagel sandwich we split was tasty as well. Employees were friendly and the shop sells lots of local jewelry and dog accessories. I definitely recommend this place before starting on the horrible drive that is R2H“

“We found Massimo through google, he is a warm, friendly, and generous soul who make delicious crepes in just the way you like them! He also offered us some complimentary fresh focaccia which was so yummy too. Highly recommend if you are looking for a sweet treat, or ladies if you want to eat your feelings!!“

“Creamy, fresh, delicious and everything you could ever want from a Hawaiian dessert. We had the lillikoi and mango flavors with the former being my favorite! John, the owner is fantastic and incredibly friendly as are his staff. Truly a fantastic local place.“

“The most delicious media lunas! Everything delicious from the breakfast sandwich to the coconut rolls. The dulce de leche is incredibly good.“
