Maui Manjookies — Local services in Maui

What exactly is a "manjookie"? It's a hybrid word combining the Japanese pastry "manju" and "cookie". For those that don't know, a manju is a small, circular-shaped pastry that has a soft cookie-like exterior, hollow in the center and traditionally filled with mashed azuki or lima beans. Here, they take it a step further with fruit fillings of strawberry, cranberry, coconut, lilikoi pineapple, guava apricot, strawberry lilikoi, strawberry guava and sweet potato. While I have yet to try them, we picked up a box for a family friend in Oregon who was requesting some. They aren't sold individually but come in a small box/bag for around $8.00 that yields about six pieces. Shipping is available.

They also sell traditional cookies in a variety of flavors. I tried a sample of their Shortbread Macadamia Nut and it was good! Very buttery with a light crunch. The bags sell for around $9.00.

SERVICE: We were greeted as we entered and offered assistance from a friendly gal who I presume was the owner.

OVERALL: Can butter and sugar...

I love manju so I had to try Manjookies while I had the opportunity to stop in on one of my drive out to Kahului. I like the traditional azuki beans so I got a bag and also got a bag of mocha mac nut cookies. Both was delightfully yummy! I've had other manju from other bakeries and this is by far one of the best I've had! I do think it is overpriced for a small bag...cookies are a bit overpriced as well. Nonetheless it was worthwhile to...

This place is so cute and has the best cookies I’ve ever tasted. They are fresh and i love the pineapple filling cookie the most. Peanut butter one is a definite try too!. The chips snacks are fresh and made so flavorful as well. Multiple selections of items and clean place. Staff is kind as well and gives off a great local feel of Maui. Definitely ordering these...
