Maui Macaroons

Oh. My. God.
I’ve died and gone to heaven. Seriously. You don’t understand. I am not a dessert eater. I don’t LIKE sweets. I don’t EAT sweets. I CANT STOP EATING THESE. They’re like crack. Wow. Seriously… Wow. Jeez… get these away from me. I’m going to eat the whole freaking bag. Damn. Perfection. Thank you Maui Macaroons. I sincerely love you. You are the epic-​est.

These are the best macaroons I’ve ever had! Moist, soft, and chewy. Very flavorful. The staff was very nice and the shop was fun to visit.

There is nothing better than Maui Macaroons ‘Salted Heaven’. They’re definitely in the same category of Lay’s Potato Chips — «You just can’t eat one.» (At least I can’t!)

Macaroons here are chewy & tasty! Coconut macaroons, not French pastry (if that’s what you are seeking). Also local artists have displays & I picked up a lovely silver pendant by Shirley at a bargain price!

I have always loved Maui Macaroons and now I have access to them 7 days a week at swap meet prices! This new store is fabulously done with lots of locally made products to choose from. This is a great stop for visitors and locals alike.

Oh my… Lori’s macaroons are so delicious… brought 2 bags back to the mainland and it was not enough for me!!! We had so much to bring home that I realized the macaroons were smashed in between my mochi & other cookies in my husbands carry-​on. no worries, I popped them in the freezer when I got home & they were perfect…

My husband and I discovered Maui Macaroons when we went to the Maui swap meet. We were on our way out when I noticed Lori’s booth. Never one to pass up a free sample of a hawaiian local treat, I snuck over and tried a cookie. I was sold on the first bite! I convinced my hubby to try them even though he’s not a fan of coconuts and he LOVED them. We purchased 2 bags and they stayed soft and chewy until we flew home a few days later.
We love these cookies so much that i even ordered these for my baby shower. I called Lori and she baked the cookies to my specification (something that they encourage on their website!) and had them in the mail so that they would arrive to California on time. She even called me to confirm they were in the mail.
Delicious cookies + excellent customer service = a life long customer!

Ever since I was little, I have avoided coconuts. I never really enjoyed the taste, smell or texture.
But these… I love these.
I tried them on a trip to Maui last year and now I am ordering bags and bags of them from the mainland. Soft, fresh — everything you expect in the perfect macaroon. Even if you are not the biggest coconut fan like myself, you should give them a try. You will be glad you did.

Exploring Wailuku on a recent vacation on Maui stumbled into Maui Macaroons. Tasty bite-​size samples tempted me. Wow! No corn syrup here. Three varieties. All great. If you are a macaroon fan or want to to try a great one, this is the place to stop. Very yummy and just the right size. Healthy ingredients!

Delicious– my mom told me about some amazing macaroons she had at a concert, and how yummy they were. Of course, the next day macaroons on the brain we picked up a bag at the store and Bam, we figured out they were the same ones! delicious, addictive, yum! We’re coming to the swap meet just to get a few more bags. Good thing Kihei is a bit of a haul to the swap meet or I’d be having them more often! More than you’d pay from a store, but of course, the quality is amazing and they are obviously well made with love!

I met Lori at the Maui Swap Meet a year ago when she coaxed me to her booth to try some macaroon samples. I am not usually a fan of macaroons but when I tried hers I absolutely loved them! I bought 3 pounds back to California and was rationing them for weeks.
Fast forward a year later, I decided to have my wedding in Maui and right away I knew I had to call Lori to order macaroons for my wedding favors. We figured out my order and arranged to have 2 macaroons, 1 original & 1 pineapple, in tiny lauhala boxes with a fuchsia ribbon on top with me and my husband’s names and the wedding date. I even ordered 2 extra pounds just for myself! Lori delivered them to Merriman’s the morning of the wedding day and they looked beautiful and tasted amazing! My guests were raving on how fresh they tasted and some were even stealing other guests’ macaroons from their lauhala favor boxes!
I brought some macaroons back from Maui and with keeping it in the fridge, they still taste as fresh and tasty as when I had them in Maui!
Thanks Lori for making my wedding favors absolutely amazing! I will definitely visit you again when I am in Maui!

Lori, you are the macaroon queen!!!
I can not put down a bag of the Salted Heaven Macaroons! Why did you hand me a whole sampler? Darn you, lady!
Okay, I’ll take another couple of bags.

I received my macaroons today and OMG. These heavenly little cookies are to die for. I got the classic coconut, kula strawberry dipped in chocolate, double mac nut, trail mix and kona chocolate almond. They are so delicious and filled with lots and lots of coconut. Gluten free. I love the fact that the chocolate did not melt in the post office or in the truck. I am ordering more as soon as I gobble everything up. I really love the trail mix!!! There are bits and pieces of different flavored macaroons, fruits and nuts. What’s not to love? Lori is the best and accommodates to what you want.

this last saturday i happened upon lori steer’s booth at the maui swap meet — «maui macaroons». i glanced around, saw only a small amount of product, then noticed the small bags of cookies were $ 6.00, at this point uninterested, I turned around to leave when i heard a soft/​gentle, almost musical voice say, «would you care to sample one of my macaroons ?».
i thought with an evil giggle, «why yes, I’ll sample as much of your cookies as I can shove in my mouth, but there is no way i’m going to pay $ 6.00 for a bag of cookies. so you’re wasting your time/​product». $ 40.00’s later — i’d say i thought wrong.
to begin, to call her «macaroons» a «cookie» is a crime against nature punishable by special session of «the hague». her macaroons are small nuggets of coconut love meant to excite, titillate and cause you to ponder the meaning of it all. from that one sample i knew instantly that some filipino woman up in wailuku had grated that coconut fresh, just prior to lori incorporating it into her product. flour was not used as a filler — the star here was the coconut.
she had different variations, things such as chocolate and mac nuts incorporated into the nuggets. but honestly, you don’t need all that stuff. the classic is powerful enough to stand up, peck you on the shoulder and say «love me, i’m yours».
i grew up in the south where baker’s coconut was frequently mashed into cakes to gain «ooh’s and ahhh’s». i, like most in the south forced to eat it to keep from upsetting grandma, hate coconut in any baked product. lori’s macaroons changed how i look at coconut in deserts. «ain’t nothing like the real thing baby… nothing like the real thing». you would be doing yourself a terrible injustice if you find yourself at the maui swap meet and don’t swing by «maui macaroons» to sample this young ladies product. there is no way you’ll walk away empty handed.
