When Bill and I decided that Maui was one of the Hawaiian Islands we would explore, we decided right away to visit a couple from the East Cooper Fishing Club. Len and Lisa Storey moved several years ago from Mt. Pleasant, to Maui. They own a business in Lahaina, Hawaii called Banyan Treats.
The colorful store is located on a very busy corner right across the street from the Old Lahaina Courthouse and the largest banyan tree I've ever seen.
Len and Lisa offer a variety of treats, which are displayed on a huge board in the shape of a banyan tree that they constructed together. I immediately zoned in on the cookies called Honi Kukis (kissed by Maui sunshine.) Banyan Treats is rated number four in the restaurant category on Trip Advisors and many of the reviews raved about the cookies and ice cream. Bill, of course, was all about checking out the coconut ice cream which is sometimes made with coconut pudding called haupi. Over the course of our trip we purchased six different kinds of cookies. My favorites were the Hawaiian Kiss and the Chocolate Coconut. They were chewy melt in your mouth delicious. I would show you a picture, but each time we bought them, they seemed to disappear.
Thanks to Len, we will get to enjoy the cleverly named cookie Hawaiian Kiss one more time. He graciously gave us a pre-packaged mix to take home with us.
