The best Father's Day gift
is already on Maui.
Tutu's Pantry — local, delicious, ships anywhere. Plus your exclusive promo code.
Father's Day is coming. And if your dad loves to cook, loves to grill, loves Maui, or just appreciates things that are actually good — we've found your answer. It's tucked into a cute little shop in Kīhei, it ships to the mainland, and it is absolutely packed with the kind of locally made, island-crafted, you-can't-get-this-anywhere-else goodness that makes a gift feel like a whole experience.
Tutu's Pantry. If you know, you know. And if you don't — you're about to.
This is not a gift from a generic store. This is a gift from an island he loves — or one he really needs to visit.
— Maui Makai
The Shop
All Hawaiʻi.
All the good stuff.
Started with a simple, beautiful idea — capture the flavors of Hawaiʻi and share them with the world — Tutu's Pantry carries only products made across the Hawaiian Islands by local makers and small brands who love this land. Jams, butters, hot sauces, seasonings, BBQ rubs, chocolates, coffees, teas, candles, body care — if it's good and it's Hawaiian-made, there's a good chance it's at Tutu's.
You can visit them in person at their adorable Kīhei location (Rainbow Mall, 2439 South Kīhei Road — noon to 6pm, seven days a week), where they'll let you sample before you buy and help you put together the perfect gift. Or you can shop online at tutuspantry.com and have it shipped straight to your door — or straight to Dad's door — anywhere in the country. We make gift baskets from their stuff all the time. It's one of our favorite ways to send a piece of Maui to someone we love.
The Case for Dad
He thinks he has
everything. He doesn't have this.
Here's the thing about dads who love to cook and grill: they think they've tried everything. They have not tried this. Hawaiian hot sauces blended with island chili peppers. BBQ rubs crafted with Red Alaea sea salt. A Hawaiian BBQ sauce made with pineapple, molasses, and Maui sugar that will genuinely change the way he grills chicken forever.
And for the dad who is already obsessed with Maui? This is the best possible thing you can send him when you can't actually be here. A little bottle of Katcha Fire and a bag of Hawaiian BBQ seasoning and suddenly it's summer, the grill is going, and Maui is right there in the backyard. That's the gift. 🤙
The Gift Guide
Our 7 picks for
the dad who grills.
Hawaiian BBQ Sauce
Made with pineapple, molasses, Hawaiian chili peppers, and Maui sugar. Gluten-free, preservative-free, and genuinely one of the best BBQ sauces we've ever put on ribs. The kind of thing he'll hide from the rest of the family.
Katcha Fire Hot Sauce
Ghost chilis, habaneros, chipotle, cayenne, jalapeños — all made on Maui. For breakfast, lunch, and dinner, per the label. For the dad who likes things with some real heat behind them.
Hawaiian BBQ Seasoning
The fan favorite. Made with Red Alaea sea salt and Hawaiian spices, this rub goes on everything — burgers, tri-tip, kalua pork, chicken. One reviewer's kid told their dad "this is the best burger I've ever had, it's better than yours." We're not saying that'll happen. We're saying it might.
Maui Coffee Rub
A smoky, rich rub made with Maui-grown coffee. Incredible on steak. If your dad hasn't tried a coffee rub yet, this is the one that converts people.
Volcano Spice Pineapple Hot Sauce
Made with locally sourced pineapples, sweet and tangy with a real kick behind it. Part of the legendary Volcano Spice line carried at Tutu's. A great one for the dad who wants flavor as much as heat.
Hawaiian Culinary Sampler Gift Set
Can't choose? Don't. This set includes Maui Onion Garlic Mustard, Mango Butter, Pineapple Hot Sauce, Burn Da Face hot sauce, and Magma Hot sea salt. It's the tasting menu of Tutu's Pantry — a little of everything, all of it incredible, perfectly packaged and ready to gift.
Seasonings 6-Pack
Mix and match six of their Hawaiian-made rubs and seasonings — BBQ, Hawaiian Jerk, Maui Coffee, Hickory, Cajun, Herb, Smoked Salt. The dad who grills all summer needs this. Full stop.
