It’s all about the dessert isn’t it!

• 1st Place – Roy’s of Kahana
• 2nd Place – Marco’s Grill & Deli
• 3rd Place – Stillwell’s Bakery & Cafe

Most of the time we never order dessert – the main meal is so large that there is no room left in the tummy.  Well there are exceptions where the dessert is so good that you must leave room at dinner for a dessert out of this world.

Roy’s in Kahana

4405 Honoapiilani Highway, Kahana Maui
808-669-6999

When you eat at Roy’s, the first thing the waiter will ask is if you want to order their hot-chocolate souffle for dessert.  Imagine that, dessert is ordered before dinner!  Well it takes an hour to prepare one of these mouth-watering goodies and it must be ordered before the meal starts.  We ALWAYS order the chocolate souffle when we eat at Roy’s.

To be honest there are two Roy’s on Maui, one in Kahana just minutes from the Honua Kai, and the second in Kihei 45 minutes away – both offer the same great dessert.

So if there is a chocoholic in your party they have to have this for dessert.

Marco’s Grill & Deli

444 Hana Highway Ste. M • Kahului • 877-4446

I’m going to be honest with you folks here, there is no way that Marco’s Grill deserves second place – the food is average and WAY overpriced.

Stillwell’s Bakery & Cafe

1740 Kaahumanu Ave. • Wailuku, Maui • 808-243-2243

Everyone who eats at Stillwells will tell you that their desserts are to die for.  This restaurant is located near the big airport in Kahului.  There are malls near the airport as well as Wal-Mart, Costco, and large retail malls.  While there have lunch or dinner at the Stillwell and save room for dessert.

They are famous for their cream horns which are layers of flaky dough made with a “tunnel” in the middle to fill with cool, rich pastry cream.  Dip one end in chocolate and it’s a winner! Also try the apple tart, which is very good and pretty, and what made it special is an almond paste between the pastry shell and the sliced and carmelized apples.  Awesome.
