Stillwell's Bakery & Cafe — Restaurant in Maui

Stillwell's is thankfully under new ownership from its founders.

MENU: Breakfast items, sandwiches, soups, salads, noodles, desserts.

FOOD: Reuben Hefty portion of toasted whole grain with generous amounts of filling and a caesar salad to the side. Highly recommended.

Pastrami & Crab Cake Sandwiches The bread wasn't toasted but both came thickly-stuffed with fresh ingredients.

DESSERT: Coconut and Banana Cream Pies I'm far from having a sweet tooth, but I've always loved banana cream pies. At a recent party, a whole pie was divvied up and I scored a slice. Oh my goodness. Why did their filling have to be so delectable and creamy? Why did the bananas have to be so fresh and flavorful? Is it to make up for their sucky service? Is this yin & yang? I'll never know. The crust on the other hand, wasn't the greatest in terms of texture and taste.

Cream Horn Every time a box of these are brought to the office, one woman in particular squeals with joy. Her food mating call is warranted though, as these are really good. The airy, cloud-like puff pastry is filled with a perfectly-sweetened cream filling, dipped in chocolate and dusted with powdered sugar. But, don't inhale through your mouth as you devour it as the powdered sugar will inconvenience your gluttony with a cough, LOL.

SERVICE: A whole lot better with the new owners that took over years ago.

FUN FACT: The building once housed Wailuku's Kentucky Fried Chicken and Little Caesars.

OVERALL: Very good sandwiches, salads...

You cannot come to Maui and not stop here. This place needs to be on your to do list. Forget Krispy Kreme. You must come here for their famous cream horn which comes in mini ($2.10) and large size ($3.35).

We came here on a mission, we were feelin' horny. We were here for cream horns.

I had one once a couple years ago when a coworker brought them over to Oahu, and it was good but I'm sure nothing beats a fresh one. And I was right.

The cream filled pastry is light and flaky covered with chocolate on one side and lightly dusted with powdered sugar. They're messy but oh so delicious. I got powdered sugar all over myself, good thing we went outside to eat it and didn't eat it in the car.

This cute bakery also serves breakfast and lunch. Next time, hopefully we have more time and we can try their food. You can also buy cream horns frozen, which I may have to consider on my next visit. Their other desserts also looked amazing so I will definitely have to make time and stomach space on my next trip for lunch and more desserts!

We stopped here after a snorkel excursion and prior to heading up to Haleakala. Our plan was to grab a couple sandwiches to eat later. Stillwell's totally fit the bill. There's a great selection of sandwiches, salads, and other items. They also have gorgeous pastries, though we didn't grab any to try (will have to next time).

The food was good, even hours later. I had the BLT and my sister had the chicken salad sandwich and both sandwiches held up for several hours before they were consumed.

Just a side note. At first I didn't realize that they had a restroom at the restaurant (the interior is quite small and there is another small outdoor seating area), but when I asked the staff member if there was one nearby she informed me they had one and I just needed to take the key and go out back :) Lo and behold, there was a door to a bathroom around the corner. Good to know and keep in mind for the future.

Overall, this was a good choice for our needs, and based on all the other wonderful reviews, I'd happily stop by again and even...
