We came early in the morning , in case pastries might be sold out…read more Very small selection which is fine , but surprisingly no guava , coconut, mango or chocolate pastries. Not a dog, just interesting Ordered the banana scone , blueberry turnover and sticky bun . Sticky bun with Mac nuts and sauce on top. Excellent. Blueberry turnover was good. Banana scone -OK. Not much flavor going on. The owner was very friendly. They didn't sell coffee, a little surprise.

Really really wanted to love this place. The owner is so sweet! We opted for the mango scone,…read morecoconut muffin and brownies. Unfortunately the scone wasn't what we expected. It seemed more on the bland side, not being able to taste any mango. It seemed somewhat of a savory scone. The coconut muffin was yummy! The brownies were a bit dry and bland similar to the scone. Cute little bakery with much go to choose from....I'm sure we'll be back to try her other baked goods!

Best malasadas!! We found this spot and went early around 7am to be sure we could grab a couple of…read morefilled malasadas which they're famous for. We ordered the passion fruit, coconut, and 1 plain/non filled. We ended up ordering another coconut and a chocolate one as it was fresh out of the back. We also ordered 2 coffees. Coffees were good, but we really came for the malasadas and they did not disappoint. The staff was lovely, helpful, made great recs and friendly. There are a couple of tables inside so we sat and enjoyed them while talking with a few locals about how wonderful the Bakeshop is. Highly recommend coming early & we will definitely be back on our next trip to Kauai!!

Came here for the malasadas- we tried the guava, lilikoi, and matcha. The matcha was a bit bland,…read morethe guava was the perfect sweetness, and the lilikoi had that nice tartness. They were all light, fully stuffed, and huge (we def could've done with sharing 2 instead of 3). We also tried the krab roll and Portuguese roll, both of which were fine. Was surprised how quiet it was, but it was a bit later in the morning.

I was actually sad to see Haole Girl's location closed down on Kuhio Highway, assuming she had gone…read moreout of business! Thank goodness I was wrong. She is located at 934 Kipuni Place (back at her bakery). The website doesn't reflect this yet so make sure to call for hours, etc. Same delicious baked goods - we ordered the apple banana muffin and the Mac nut sticky bun. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures before inhaling them! But trust me, they're delicious. Just remember it's her actual bakery facilities so not a restaurant, it's grab and go, but well worth it!

We ordered our wedding cake with Judy. We had an apple…read morebanana cake with vanilla buttercream and mango/strawberry filling. Judy was great, she met us at our reception venue and helped to arrange the flowers and cake topper. Our guests loved the cake-it was moist and decadent!

We just spent a week in Kauai and made four trips to Java Kai…read more The Mocha Maui Latte is really good. Chocolate, coconut syrup, and coffee, what's not to love? It's like drinking a Mounds bar. The breakfast burrito is really good. The blueberry muffins are so good we are taking 4 hone with us. (Only four because that's all they had left). The staff is super friendly! They are usually busy so they plan to wait a bit, but it's worth it. Free street parking was available each time we were there.

Absolutely delicious! The malasadas were made fresh right then and there, and they were incredible…read more We also tried a shortbread-style cookie (I can't remember the name!), and it was SO good. We sampled all the flavors, and honestly, every single one was delicious. Definitely a must-visit if you're in Kauai! It's a smaller establishment but they have seating outside with covers. The service was very friendly.

Uniquely kind and patient staff, especially "Auntie Shana."…read more Fairly priced pastries, with the inside looking like typical donut cafe. The UBE and POG Malasadas I tried are delicious on their own way, with the UBE being mildly sweet and wonderfully satiating and POG is nice and fruity. I didn't think it was too sweet or had too much filling at all, and I don't like donuts with fillings typically. For all these reasons, I think tourists and locals alike should try this place at least once.

The food is absolutely delicious and amazing,the service is fantastic,great place close to the…read morehotel,store was nice and clean, overall great experience

This is a good market and fast food grab location. The prices are some of the best in the area. We…read morereally wanted Poi and other lunch food to go but it was late. This location is located on a main street that can be very busy. Since it was late, they were closing up and packing away from the 'deli' area so we could not do any food orders. We were able to get our Poi and other food items with no issue. It is a smaller and narrow location that is deep from the front counter to the back. Best of low cost local food and to go.

OMG! Best donuts we've ever had. Fresh made to order and unique flavors. Absolutely don't miss…read morestopping at this adorable truck. You will not regret it. We tried the naughty list (vanilla and coconut charcoal) and purple haze (ube and passion fruit). Hawaii vanilla chai was perfectly spiced and lightly sweetened. Wish there was a location back home in the Bay Area! Guess we'll be taking a roadtrip down to Santa Monica in the not too distant future

I saw a mix of reviews before coming here, but wanted to try them out anyway since they get hyped…read moreup as a top-tier donut spot. Honestly, after trying them, I left feeling like it was just okay. I definitely expected a bit more given the hype and price tag. Price & Size: At $4.50 per donut, I expected them to be larger. They are definitely on the smaller side for what you pay. The Donuts: They are taro-based, which gives them a unique texture. Flavors Tried: - Lilikoi: Super fresh, but a bit underwhelming for the cost. - Original Sin: Hawaiian vanilla bean and maple glaze. It was decent, but nothing mind-blowing. It's a cool concept using local taro and Hawaiian ingredients, but for the size and price, it didn't quite live up to the high expectations. Good to try once, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to get them again!

A bus turned in to coffee shop. The gals here were very nice and helpful. One of them realized…read morethat I didn't like my coffee and asked if I needed it to be sweeter without me saying anything. The coffee price is a little steep, but I thought it was pretty good. I got my iced and didn't taste any sourness to it. I've noticed at other places, when you get an iced coffee, there's a hint of sourness. Parking here was not an issue as it's shared with other establishments. I'm not sure of the time we went, but I did noticed Kauai not being busy at all. Compare to the last 2 times I've been here, this 3rd time, it hasn't been busy. Which I enjoyed.

Cute food truck that serves coffee, tea, and bagels. I ordered an iced matcha ($8). The menu says…read moreit's ceremonial grade. It was unsweetened, which isn't bad but I did wish I ordered it with a little syrup. There's a few chairs outside to sit and wait.
