During a recent media trip to South Maui, we got to indulge in some of these sweet breakfast options:

Starting off sweet

Located in Kihei, The Cinnamon Roll Place (2463 S. Kihei Road) is a mom-and-pop shop that’s been around since 1981. It’s known for its larger-than-life cinnamon rolls ($5.37 each) that are baked fresh every morning. Toppings like mac nuts ($1.30), cream cheese frosting, and almonds and pecans (85 cents each) are available a la carte to add to the rolls.

Call 808-879-5177 or visit cinnamonrollplacemaui.com.

An iconic institution

Wailuku-based Four Sisters Bakery & Catering (1968 E. Vineyard St.) recently celebrated its 40th anniversary. The iconic destination is known for its addictive butter rolls ($1.30 each), which are, indeed, soft and super buttery. Other pastries like cinnamon rolls, malasadas and long johns are also available.
