Ok so yelpers this place is decent but know it is a pricey place. Knocked off a point because they don't open the front doors on time and this happened several days. Staff can be curt and coffee drinks take a hot minute to come out. Decent spot but nothing I would go out of my way for. read more

Lovely delight...is what I would describe this quaint self serve cafe. Being a kama'aina (local), it's nice to venture off to sweet Waikiki delights to support our state's industry. Halekulani as you well know is one of our finest in terms of hotel and cuisine. This "newbie" is known for its delectable pastries and desserts located in the Halepuna Hotel directly across from Halekulani. This was my first time and truly I must say everything was great especially being greeted by the door by Joseph, F&B Director. For our initial "sampling" I started with the chocolate croissant (Verona chocolate from California), classic sticky bun and a mango kouign Amman with a hot Americano. My friend grabbed their famous coconut cake slice and their raspberry pistachio croissant and a latte all to share, of course. Everything was amazingly delicious and not overly sweet. It went well with my plain Americano. We savored every bite with leftovers to spare. We loved that their plates were sustainable sturdy banana leaf plates. Their decor is clean and simple. We were there mostly to have a tasting of the coconut cake to purchase for a wedding in May and I was informed that April is when they will take preorders so I will be back indeed. We opted to sit inside on their large beautiful community table since there was a chance of rain. There are a few tables outside as well. Parking is located above right before or you could opt for valet of course across the street. Yes, a bit pricey but worth it. I believe you can get it validated though. Lol! Bathrooms are across in the Halekulani (we wanted to explore) but I'm sure they must have some in the hotel, too. The vibe is mostly "guests" but I did see some locals too. I love that it wasn't super crowded and it's pretty chill. Whatever the reason, it's great to have a tasty treat and support Hawaii businesses at the same time. I'm marking this as one of my new 2023 favorite sweet spots. Coconut CakeChocolate CroissantFlaky CroissantsPain Au ChocolatChocolate Toffee Mac Nut read more

Tastes ok but everything is way too buttery/fatty. Feels like I am sacrificing my health and wellbeing for a quick bite to eat.

Excellent quiche and croissants. Lots of choices and very clean and professional. Nice outside seating area. read more

Top notch French bakery in Waikiki. Detailed clean with excellent service. The ladies are very polite and does a great job boxing your goodies. Beautiful display of delicacies, "I felt like a kid in a candy store!" The croissant are delicate and delicious. They are made with local flavors like lilikoi, mangoes and bananas which adds to its appeal. Do yourself a favor and enjoy while you can! read more

Been wanting to try, and since staycationing up the street, was perfect time. It was about 9am when we went so a little surprised that there weren't many breads and that was what I really wanted to try. Lot of pastries - only savory ones were the bacon/cheddar scone and the croissant. Croissant was good, but not as buttery as I'd hoped. Scone pretty good - liked the outside "crust" part. Maybe it's just me, but those tongs are terrible. They don't stretch further or fit well around the pastry, so needed to try to scoop it up from the side. Flipped it over onto it's neighbors. I have better control with hashi. I really want to try the breads. I'll pass on the pastries next time. read more

Halekulani Bakery - Butter Croissant and Savory Scone. Pretty good. - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We came here early in the morning to try to beat the crowd. They have have an assortment of fresh pastries and it was so hard to pick!! I orderd the salted caramel croissant, Mango passionfruit cream pastry and the NY chocolate cream croissant. All of them were delicious!! The staff were friendly to me, but I did notice one of the staff was very short and made a rude comment to a customer. The customer asked for an extra piece of parchment paper and the staff said "oh my God, you need so many things". For that, I cant give them a positive rating for their customer service. Overall, I do recommend coming for their pastries, but, make sure you ate prepared to order. read more

Excellent. Nice folks. Great service. Hawaiian kind service. Clean. Fairly quick. Food fresh made.

The service here is excellent. I was always greeted warmly and always offered a large for the price of a small coffee. Hours are limited so check before going. The outdoor area has tables and cute birds hanging around. The key lime tart was my favorite! read more

No coconut cream pie. . Just went there for this specific item. Everything looked great just not what I wanted.

Found this place off an Instagram reel for their NY-Style Croisant Donut, and I'd say the cronut was...not bad! Their flavor rotates every day, and while the gold flake was a cool addition, but the frosting itself was a little too wax texture for my liking, and if there was an option to get the pastry warmed, I wasn't made aware of it. But if you can get past that, the cronut itself was pretty well layered and I couldn't get enough the cream filling inside. I did get lost for a bit trying to find the actual bakery since it's on the back side of the Halepuna Waikiki, but inside, they had a wide selection of other pastries and goods that looked honestly just as or even more appetizing as the NY Cronut. They have both self service and behind glass pastries/cakes, and overall ordering was pretty smooth with their workers being super helpful and quick with it. Definitely a more casual spot to for a light breakfast and coffee with friends. read more

One of the best food spots we tried during our stay. High quality pastries and super friendly service. Most of the pastries like croissants, danishes and muffins are self-serve. But they have some hot/savory sandwiches that you can order at the counter. I got the smoked salmon croissant, which was delicious! They also serve their drip coffees in large cups, which is nice. They have outdoor patio seating as well as a large wooden table which is in the middle of the shop with shared seating. The line can be long but it moves fairly quickly. read more

Everything we tried was excellent. My daughter loved the beef turnover. I had the ham and cheese croissant which again was over the top

The pastries here are incredible! I have tried the coconut cake and the NY croissant. Both were delicious!! My favorite menu item is the shirred egg whites with ricotta and spinach. It also comes with a side of toast. Highly recommend! Note the hours -- Wed-Sun 6:30-11:30am, closed Mon-Tues. The service is consistently exceptional. Diane always takes the best care of me. She is extremely competent, friendly and efficient. She even has my order memorized! Jason is also fantastic. He is very conscientious and attentive. Sometimes I sit outside with my dogs and he always offers them water. He truly goes above and beyond. 6 stars for Diane and Jason! Halekulani Bakery is very, very lucky to have them. read more

Definitely come here for the pastries! Got a few pastries one morning and they were all good. I went around 7am on a Saturday and just barely missed the rush (the line was pretty much out the door when I left). There is also coffee, while there technically isn't anything special about it (the basic coffee options), it's not bad coffee. I stayed at a hotel very close by and not sure if I would have gone if we weren't staying at that hotel, but it was good regardless. read more

Amazing! Best breakfast in Oahu. Located in a non discreet location, it is firstly priced as really good! Coffee too! Much better than Starbucks. Service is fairly quick. The line goes smoothly. And there is a fair amount of seating inside and outside. Ambiance is like a coffee shop plus bakery. read more

This is a little hidden bakery across the street from the halekulani hotel and it is booming with deliciousness! It has a 85 degree/paris baguette feel that you have your own serving utensils and tray and you pick your selections and walk up to the counter to pay. I will say I ordered here for pick up AND got some in store that they don't offer online. Still missing the croissant donut I was looking for but that's fine. Service was great and the staff all so accommodating and sweet. Two of my orders were missed in packing and they profusely apologized and packed them up quickly. There are a few tables to sit at and enjoy your pastries and we would love to come back for more. Just wish they were open more than wed-sun. Thanks Halekulani Bakery! read more

Top-class ambiance and customer attention from the staff. Most of the pastries are really amazing. My favorites so far are the Everything Croissant and the New York Croissant Roll. The Pabana Croissant was a bit skimpy with the fillings and the Chocolate Croissant could certainly taste butterier. The Butter Croissant is really tasty, but I think the texture could be a bit airier yet cohesive. The Cream Bun is a great concept but isn't the most delicate-tasting. I like how parking is free when validated (for an hour, I think). It's nice sitting outside at one of the tables with umbrella shade in the warm Waikiki weather. I will be back, this bakery is one of my favorites in Honolulu! read more

Lovely Bakery- great croissants with delicious local fillings. I will caution though- don't go to the register on the right there's a sink next to the register which is frequently in use and if you put your tray down to purchase items there they could be splashed and contaminated. It's a design flaw that they really should address otherwise great experience! read more

I tried the NY Croissant, the chocolate cake and the signature coconut cake. Teetering between a 3.5 and 4. I had high expectations for the pastries due to its affiliation with the hotels, but ended up thinking it was okay for its prices. NY Croissant: It's flaky, but I have had more buttery croissants and the pistachio cream barely had a hint of pistachio and more of just sugar and custard cream. Cashier hinted the flavor might not rotate to other flavors at this time. Chocolate cake: It tastes like a typical chocolate cake, although with a darker chocolate flavor. I wish this had more cream to accompany the cake. Coconut cake: This was probably the softest cake I've ever had, but all the other components of this was not enough to warrant its price tag. The cream between the layers was good - it was a very soft flavor and was a light custard. I had hoped it had a more coconut-ty flavor as the sponge cake tasted like a plain sponge cake and most of the cake's coconut flavor seems to be coming from just the coconut flakes on top. Overall, all they were good and not too sweet. They weren't particularly memorable, so I probably wouldn't come again. read more

Exceptional quality and variety. Great service. Line out the door right at opening though. But worth it.

Cute bustling pastry shop located right across the street from halekulani hotel! I like to treat myself every once in a while with a few pastries from here for breakfast :3 The line can get really long so I try to go earlier in the morning. Sometimes the lines takes a looong time to move too, depending on whose working? Not sure. Anyways, some of my favorite pastries here are - Lilikoi pabano: so crunchy & flaky on the outside & has a wonderful light tangy cream filling on the inside. PERFECT! Raspberry pistachio croissant: I'm not huge on croissants but this one is perfect! Not too sweet, a good amount of filling Everything bagel: especially delicious with smoked salmon! The reason for the minus 1 star is I noticed that the staff are so busy sometimes they come off as a bit rude. Also one time I saw a staff member touch the pastry & then touch the rim of the garbage can & then cashier all with the same glove. Who knows if she reuses the same glove.. and good thing I have an iron stomach LOL read more

While the spot wasn't open the M/T we stayed at Halepuna, it was absolutely worth it to stand in the long self serve line the day of our flight. We gently packed a pistachio raspberry croissant, a amann kougere (sort of like a glazed babka/croissant with layers of chocolate) and a macadamia nut sticky bun. How fun to have that instead of the airplane mushy muffin on our 9 hour return flight home! Worth the visit. read more

All the bakery items were delicious. We tried 6 different items and we were absolutely happy

It's a hidden gem in Waikiki. It is on main Street but hidden in a small alley where I don't see a lot of tourists walking by all the time. Food: very good, comparable to Kona. Espresso drinks is very good. Location: everywhere in Waikiki is convenient. It is slightly off the main street but easily accessible by foot. Service: in store eating allowed, there are seats outside as well but there is no real view other than a street. LoL. read more

I was very excited that my stay at Halepuna Hotel included a credit to the Halekulani Bakery, which boasts an impressive display of beautifully laminated pastries. Of course, I would be remiss to not mention the coconut cake, which is a favorite of many people of Asian descent due to our preference that dessert be "not too sweet." My reason for holding that fifth star is due to a lack of beverage options, specifically iced coffee and iced tea. Looking at Yelp photos of the menu, I see that iced tea should have been available, so perhaps they had run out that day. read more

It's been three years. Three very long years since I've set foot here. They recently reopened early 2023 after doing several pop-ups across the street at their mothership hotel. I'm sure locals are happy that they are open again. Their hours are limited, being open Thursdays to Sundays from 6:30 to 11:30 am. With our stay being only a week and arriving on a late Wednesday night, I made a point to stop here Sunday morning to get my fill. The selection is extensive and, if you're like me, you'd want to try everything. I don't believe my primary care physician would appreciate that. Given this, I decided to get four items and, with our hotel having a fridge and being armed with Ziploc bags, I bought and packed some things to bring home to try. The first item that I tried when I returned home for my next breakfast was the Big Island macadamia nut chocolate croissant (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=2APsOds4fMevZ2DpWppcxA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); I reheated it in my toaster oven and grinned after taking that 1st bite as there was no shortage of ingredients in this. I next bought and tried, on the recommendation of my local friend, the Everything croissant (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=MD577kbDzQmXTunFS9nkCA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); I wasn't sure what to expect but, after eating it, I know that my friend's palate leans to the savory side. There is an assortment of flavors (sesame, garlic, onion, etc.) which were tamed by the cream cheese center which gave it a richness and balance. I would get this again. My next try was the golden pineapple danish (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Zx0gcgbcp6uczuf110nShQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); if you know my and my pineapple lean (freezes and pineapple shortcakes from Taiwan), you knew I had to try this. It was simple and had a good amount of pineapple, not overly sweet. My final item was the Pabana croissant (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=efW7P6kpFifdMSM7nEHb_g&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), described as containing lilikoi, mango, and banana. I enjoyed the flavors though they did not really stand out to wow me. Having limited stomach space, I obviously couldn't try everything that I'd like to. The ones bookmarked for my next visit are their signature Halekulani cake (a slice not the WHOLE one...) and the mango blueberry muffin. That salted caramel croissant also sounds interesting. See what I mean?! read more
