Baked on Maui, Haiku-Pauwela, Maui, Hawaii

In their own words, this is a bakery that was created by a local family hoping to provide quality baked goods, made from scratch, that reflected local ingredients as well as making real, fresh food. It is located up a small country road (truly, there is not much that would be classified as a highway on Maui, so this part does not stand out), in a small town in a building that once housed the Libby Pineapple Cannery. One regret I had at the end of my trip is that I did not go to the abandoned sugar factory that we passed almost every day on our way to get somewhere else, and I did not dig much into the legacy of corporations, farming, and Hawaii, but it was nice to see this warehouse repurposed. That is the history, but it is the coffee and the food that would bring us back. We stopped en route to the Road to Hana, and got some quite acceptable sandwiches to tide us over, but it was the breakfast pastries that really knowcked our socks off—so delicious and flakey and flavorful!
