The Maui Cookie Lady - Kīhei

This is a delightful little gem. The interior is whimsical, and their cookies are deliciously rich and chewy, making them worth every penny. They also offer packaged goods, including locally made flavored peanut butter. If you're in the area, definitely stop by for a taste of heaven. (The line may be long, but it moves quickly.)

This charming little shop offers a delightful selection of not only huge 6oz cookies in various flavors but also sorbets, ice cream bars, and a range of Hawaiian treats, including local chocolate bars and candies! The lilikoi and strawberry cookies were both baked to perfection, with just the right amount of softness and moisture. They truly excel at making cookies! I would definitely purchase from here again!

TLDR: Cool spot, but I'll pass on the cookies...The place is super cute. Loved the decor and layout. Could spend a while in the shop looking at everything, considering how small the shop is. The lady was really nice, and easy to ask questions to.But I gotta say... the cookies are not good :(We bought one of each kind of cookie. From lilikoi to red velvet. They were all large, thick, great looking cookies. But we are four cookies in, and they taste like cookie dough that cured over time, leaving a grainy taste and texture of sugar crystal in each chew. The best part of the white chocolate mac cookies was picking out the chocolate and nuts to be honest lol. I'm at a point with this cookie where the smell isn't very good and I'll most likely toss the remainder. :(For reference, your average grocery store cookies not only taste a little better, but you could have a whole box for the price of one or two of these. So... idk... Maybe just get one to see for yourself, then come back if you enjoyed it.

We came allthe way from Nebraska to try these cookies. We bought 3 different flavors: Peanut Butter Perfection, Chocolate Chocolate chip, and Birthday cake. my favorite was the peanut butter. We also got a huge Peanut Butter cup. The cookie was as big as my hand. The shop was super cute and lots of things to look at. The lady working was very nice and helpful.

When one of the redeeming qualities cited for visiting a speciality shop on Maui is celebrities go there , you know it 's a tourist trap. Sadly despite humble beginnings, The Maui Cookie Lady store is just that. It 's the kind of place you visit once, but not twice.Cookies are average in flavour; their claim to fame is that they are huge and stuffed. They are just not that good, certainly not $8 good. My husband said they tasted similar to Cookies by George in Canada. Just a cookie, nothing special, tastes factory made.We tried the lilikoi white chocolate macadamia, which was so sweet it was nearly inedible. It still had grains of sugar in it, so maybe not that well mixed also. The other cookie was Da Half Baked, which apparently is the favourite of Dwayne Johnson The Rock . Well, he 's a celebrity actor, not a chef or a food critic. It was OK, had an oreo cookie in the middle, different but again too sweet and just kind of average.I also tried the brownies terrible dry texture, pretty much worth eating the top and throwing the rest out. Supposedly they are made fresh for Friday and Saturday only, but it tasted stale and old.Too bad Makawao seems to be turning in to a new Paia. I hope it won 't lose it 's Maui character in the same way by becoming a mecca of kitch, overpriced art and clothing, and silly specialty stores. The Disney tunes playing in the background made this store a little creepy, maybe they 're trying to target kids, and tourists who treat Maui like Disneyland. Just weird. Stick to the malasadas down the street at Komoda 's bakery.
