My first time here at Kamehameha Bakery. The place was very clean. The prices are reasonable, and the variety/selection was amazing. The staff was so helpful in helping me pick out my pastries. This is a great bakery if you are in the town area.
This is a great local place to find poi malasadas as well as your run of the mill donuts. They have fantastic long johns as well. The apple fritter may be the best and biggest I have ever had!
Everybody in Hawaii was so kind and authentically loving. They all seemed to love sharing their culture with us. This place was one of the few places where I felt like I was completely unwanted. They were annoyed that we wanted to buy so many items. What a shame. The pastries were good, but the experience tarnished the taste.
I wish I came here earlier so I could try all the pastries I wanted. The banana bread was soo good. I dont like poi pudding, I love poi bread. All of the pastries here are soo good and its all nice and fresh.
OMG!!! Literally the best dount I've ever had. My advice to you is to skip the long line at Leonard's Bakery and come to the famous Kamehameha Bakery. In my opinion these are some of the best treats in Hawaii. I purchased the Poi Glazed Taro Donut-Malasadas. It was beyond delicious! After the first bite I found myself eating three. Trust me you have to try these at any bakery you come across before leaving Hawaii.
2/21/2021 My husband saw a video where someone was talking about the Chantilly Rolls so off we went. There was a lot of parking in the lot. When we got to the bakery, there was no line. Due to covid, they only allow three parties inside at a time. He picked two Haupia Malasadas and two Chantilly Rolls which came out to $4 and change. What great prices! I didn't try anything because I was overwhelmed with the amount of pastries that they offered. Next time, I'll be sure to look at the menu before we go. The ladies were friendly and boxed the pastries quickly. On the bottom of the store menu, they have an allergen notice that says products may contain dairy, eggs, gluten, and nuts. As we were leaving, the line outside had grown to about 15 deep. When we got home, I tried the Haupia Malasada. I'm not a fan of Malasadas at all but this one was light, not oily and dense, and the filling was heavenly! I'll be sure to get this the next time we go!
I heard about this place from a friend. Are you tired of dense super cakey donuts then look no further. Delicious melt in your mouth, buttery goodness I drove 34 minutes from Kapolei to see what the hype was about and they lived up it every crumb the box was full before I took the photo the Taro root donut is by far the star of their show (not shown in photo because it’s in my stomach)
Our friends introduced us to this place on our last visit so we had to come back. We went about an hour before close so selection was a bit limited but they had the poi and strawberry donuts which is what we came for. We also tried a hopia malasada which was also good. At first I questioned the poi donut but more than flavor, it gives it a nice textural element. These are great to get for breakfast or snack.
Skip the line and inflated prices at Leonard's and come here. The malasadas are much better than Leonard's. Their poi buns are amazing. And they use real fruit and flavorings in their fillings, taking them to the next level. The selection and variety is impressive. Try as much as you can, everything is good.
My son fell in love with Taro rolls at the Polynesian Cultural Center and I have been looking for them since. After breakfast at the pancake place two doors down, I found this amazing bakery! Now, all the locals know where this place is. There was a VERY short line, a five minute wait, and well worth it! Got malasadas and got the Taro rolls!! My mom and dad had never had malasadas before and they are hooked!
