It was mentioned that Julia's Banana Bread is the best in the island, so after finishing a hike in the Waihee Ridge trail, I drove the serpentine road to Kahukuloa. When I got there (after nearly an hour), they were out of bread! I was disappointed, but I remembered passing by Curley's on the way, and so I went back and had one sample bite. Boy, I was hooked, and thankfully there were 2 left! The bread was fresh, moist, not too sweet, with a mellow (not overpowering) banana flavor. I could be wrong but I thought I could smell/taste some hint of lilikoi. The texture was incredible, like it wanted to melt but wanted to tease your palate a bit more. It is banana bread excellence wrapped in a $6 bargain. Importantly, the fruit stand is located just before the road becomes the more difficult counterpart of the road to Hana (but without the waterfalls), so I could've saved myself the risk of a head-on collision or driving off a cliff. Overall, I highly recommend Curley's banana bread. If you've just finished the Waihee Ridge trail, I couldn't think of a better reward! read more
