First time stopping in! I drive by La Tour bakehouse all the time on my way to Costco, but never actually went inside. Today felt like a good day to check it out. They have a nice selection of freshly baked goods, refrigerator with premade sandwiches/grab and go, and a good selection of high-end desserts. The bake house is small, and was not crowded. I picked up the cranberry walnut bread and also Ube rolls. Both were very good. Will definitely stop by and try some other items.
Thanh Quoc Lam immigrated to San Jose, CA from Vietnam in 1979 and worked as a bus driver. He provided sandwiches made by a friend for his passengers. The sandwiches became so popular that Lam decided to start his own business selling sandwiches. Lam came to HI in 1984 and saw a growing Vietnamese population in Chinatown. He opened his 1st Ba-le Sandwich Shop in Dec. 1984. His innovation, tenacity, and passion allowed him to open 21 franchised Ba-le restaurants over the next 18 years throughout the State. He did not know how to bake bread, and instead of looking for bread sources, he knew he would be better off baking his own bread. In 2009, Lam and his wife, Xuan Chau, purchased ownerships of 80,000 sq ft of space in the Weyerhaeuser warehouse on Nimitz Hwy. It was renovated to house the La Tour Bakehouse and La Tour Café businesses, with the La Tour Bakehouse as the parent company of La Tour Café and the Ba-le Sandwich shops. This review is for the La Tour Bakehouse. The name La Tour Bakehouse comes from the Eiffel Tower, a symbol of the French influence on Vietnamese cui sine, baking products, and techniques. Executive Pastry Chef Rodney Weddle assists with the baking, as he has years of experience in baking and pastry, including being pastry chef at the Kahala Mandarin Hotel. La Tour Bakehouse reflects the artisan techniques used to handcraft the finest baked goods that are made locally daily with the best ingredients. It has further expended through partnerships with Chef Zone, Foodland, Times, and Whole Foods. La Tour Bakehouse opened in July 2024 to the public offering different kinds of breads (sweet, French, sourdough, Japanese white/wheat, pumpkin cranberry walnut, Kalamata olive, corn, croissant toast, lobster roll, etc); cookies (coconut, choc mac nut shortbread, 5 grain); lavosh; garlic crisps; sandwiches (tuna on croissant, turkey/cheese on croissant, ham & cheese on Japanese white/wheat); pickled veggies; pastries (butter croissant, vanilla custard, Valrhona choc walnut brownie); muffins (banana, choc); mochi (ube butter, milk choc). Many of these items would be available at the various farmer's markets around town. Since I like their sourdough bread, I would have to go to a specific farmer's market to get it. Now, with La Tour Bakehouse, I can easily go in anytime they're open to pick one up, which is so convenient. I didn't know, but was told that the regular sourdough has an increased tangy taste than the organic sourdough, which is good to know. Hubby picked up the choc almond croissant, and he liked it! He said lots of almonds, and the choc was not too sweet. I'm not too clear about items offered in the La Tour Bakehouse, such as sandwiches and the pickled veggies, which should be part of the La Tour Café. And why are macarons offered in the Café and not in the Bakehouse? Anywhere, seems as though some items can be offered in both places? Customer service of the one staff member there was very friendly and pleasant, she provided a lot of knowledgeable info, which was very helpful. No cash transactions. A sign is prominently placed near the front table noting 20% discount for seniors 60 and over. The interior area was spacious adequately lit, with items were displayed according to baked items. As you walk in, breads are on the left; cookies and perishables in the display case; lavosh and boxed cookies on the right; sandwiches and pickled veggies in the fridge on the far right; and cookies, muffins, and mochi on the center table. Hours of operation are daily from 7a to 7p. A few designated free parking stalls for 15 min fronting the Bakehouse are available. There are additional free spaces that are shared among tenants of the complex. Owner Lam is very grateful and humble for where he is today. When he opened La Tour Bakehouse, $260,000 of proceeds from the 1st four months of opening were donated to the HI Community Foundation which distributes funds to qualified non-profit organizations in need of funds. We look forward in returning for our sourdough bread and trying other baked items from La Tour Bakehouse! Congratulations to the Lam family for their hard work and dedication to make their dreams come true and wish them continues success in their businesses!
La Tour Bakehouse has become a regular stop for me. Why? Let me count the ways: 1. It is enroute to/from my residence and office so it's an easy stop 2. I LOVE their bread! 3. Large selection of daily baked goods 4. Nice selection of cookies and snacks (they make great gifts btw) 5. Did I say I LOVE the bread? 6. Priced less than any retail market or box store 7. Senior discount offered daily The cons: 1. Parking can be a problem depending on the time of day you decide to stop in The parking though is inconsequential against all the upshots LaTour Bakehouse has to offer. Go there! or be square! don't say I didn't tell you about their pricing!
Looking for a quick carb load or even a cookie craving? Stop by La Tour Bakehouse, conveniently located in the same building complex as La Tour Cafe! I was surprised to see the amount of different items, including loaves of bread, banana bread, muffins, cookies, and even a display case of more sweet treats! It was nice to have options other than their delicious homemade loaves of bread. We bought an ube sweet bread and some palmier cookies. Both were delicious! This place is a nice option to pick up some treats for gifts or just for yourself! Happy eating!
La Tour Bakehouse makes some of the most delightful macarons! Each one is light, delicate and perfectly sweet such a little bite of happiness. The flavors they offer are so delicious and always hit the spot. I truly wish they would add an Earl Grey flavor one day because I know it would be heavenly here. Everything is made with such care, you can taste the love in every bite. A treat I'll happily come back for again and again!
Cruising with Donna O. she suggested we visit La Tour Bakehouse since my Dad and I had never been. I used to go to La Tour a lot while living on the island so was curious about the bakehouse. The bakehouse is quaint, quiet, and clean. A small storefront with all their packaged baked goods. You can find items like bread, pastries, manapuas, and chocolates. Easier to get them here than at the cafe. Service was good and they offer a kupuna discount every day (60+). I got the Dubai Chocolate and Ube Butter Mochi for my Dad and friend. Both items were colorful. My friend enjoyed the Dubai chocolate. La Tour Bakehouse is a great spot to stop for La Tour's popular baked goods! They're located in the same shopping center as La Tour Cafe off Nimitz with parking in the lot.
We stopped by on a Monday (holiday) since we were in the area grabbing lunch. The shop was very clean and had lots of delicious pastries and bread on display. I grabbed the mango sugar lavosh ($7) and a bag of 3 baguettes ($5). The cashier gave us a free pastry which is their chocolate croissant doughnuts. The owner? manager ? said he really liked it and it wasn't too sweet. I think I like the likikoi sugar lavosh better than the mango. The baguettes are so delicious especially when you heat them up. I put mine in the air fryer and spread butter on it. Finally the chocolate croissant doughnut was also super good! As promised it was not overly sweet. My husband and I really enjoyed it.
La Tour Bakehouse and La Tour Cafe are just a few doors apart. Don't get confused. The Bakehouse offers only baked items such as bread, buns, and cookies. La Tour Cafe serves sandwiches and drinks. We had lunch at Tanaka Saimin, my wife decided to go to the Bakehouse. We picked up raisin bread, cinnamon rolls, and butter flake buns. Typical of other Japanese bakeries. The interior was spacious, and items were neatly dispdisplayed. The service was cordial from the Japanese worker. Enjoy
Five stars because all sales are being donated to a good cause. I'm a fan of this bakery's bread and Lavosh so I figured since I was next door enjoying a ginormous bowl of saimin I'd stop and see what they had in the new bakehouse. The first things that caught my eye were the almond croissants.....almond and chocolate almond. At $5 each I wanted to try however I wasn't impressed 3/5 stars. I like my croissants more buttery and these just didn't make the grade, dry imho, I think the 12pk from Costco (plain) are by far a better made choice. Also tried the Taro pastry (think manju) and the Sweet potato pastry. I liked them more than the croissants but there just wasn't much flavor 3.5/5 stars. Got a round of their organic Sourdough bread....winner 5/5 stars. Heated it wrapped in foil and served with softened butter and the entire loaf was gone along with the shrimp curry dinner! The Manapua was a freebie, I chose pork, and it was different. The pork was a small puck with rice threads and chives mixed in and half a small hard boiled egg on top then wrapped in steamed dough. Not what I was expecting. It was flavorful but I don't think I would buy it. 3/5 stars. The shop itself is small but the space is well utilized. The cashier was very helpful and told me if I spent $40 I could get the canvas tote at no charge...since I was already at $34 I trapped those Taro & Sweet potato pastries. Love the bag 5/5 stars! Parking is fronting the Bakehouse and right next door to Party City on Nimitz. I'll be back for more of their sourdough bread...lately I just haven't been able to find a tasty sourdough but the product sold here was delicious. They also had pumpernickel which is hard to find so next time I'm getting a loaf of that to try.
Shopping in Honolulu, Hawaii... Every time I pass the "Grand Opening" sign on Nimitz Highway, I tell myself I'm going to stop in one day... and I did! La Tour Bakehouse is located between 7-Eleven and Tanaka Saimin at La Tour Plaza. The free shared parking is much appreciated! Air conditioning inside the shop was very pleasant! The shelves are covered with all kinds of breads and cookies. The table in the middle was filled with different types of scones, cinnamon rolls, almond croissants, and pastries. I saw the cute tote bag on the wall and noted that it was free with a purchase of $40 or more. I got a lot of gifts: a box of cookies a cinnamon roll an almond croissant Two chocolate almond croissants a package of garlic crisps Two containers of mochi (peanut butter and sweet potato) It was challenging to reach $40 because everything was so reasonably priced! I wanted to get a ham and cheese sandwich on Japanese bread, but it was only $3.50, and I was going to go to dinner soon... I gave the mochi to my friend's children - they loved it and exclaimed that $3.50 per container is such a good deal! I gave 3 pastries to our sacristan at church and told her that the owner's sons graduated from my alma mater! I had a chocolate almond croissant for lunch - yummy! The filling wasn't too sweet! I had some garlic crisps... they're crunchy, flavorful, and addicting! The cashier was very efficient and friendly! I even received a free manapua from her! I want to return because the proceeds go to charity! (Hawaii Community Foundation until 11-30-24)

If you're looking for a small but thoughtful gift, La Tour Bakehouse's macadamia shortbread is an excellent choice, especially during the holiday season, but honestly for any occasion. The shortbread has a big, rich buttery flavor with just the right balance of sweetness, and the macadamia nuts add a satisfying crunch without overpowering the cookie. Each piece is individually wrapped, which keeps it fresh. I also appreciate the nice, simple packaging. It looks polished and presentable without needing any extra wrapping. Perfect as a hostess gift or office treat, read more

Shout out to Nadine C. and Donna O. I've been wanting to check La Tour Bakehouse during the grand opening. I love that 100% of its sales from July 26, 2024 through November 30, 2024, will be donated to the Hawaii Community Foundation (HCF). HFC's mission states: "We inspire generosity, advocate for equity, forge connections and invest in community to create a better Hawai'i." Website: www.hawaiicommunityfoundation.org As you enter the Bakehouse, you will see racks and racks of baked goodies. The interior is brightly lit and clean. There was one employee present at the time of our visit. She was friendly and helpful to us. Service: 5/5 stars. I picked up sweet bread rolls, palmiers, lilikoi lavosh, raisin bread, double chocolate, guava and macadamia nut cookies for a grand total of $42.00! My Dad will enjoy the bread and our island visitors will get the cookies! We are keeping the raisin bread, lavosh and palmiers. I tried the palmiers and it was delicious! Light, crispy and slightly sweet. Perfect! 5/5 stars. My dad tried the sweet bread roll and he enjoyed it. I took a piece to try and it was lightly sweet and a little on the dry side. I think jelly or a light toast would be great. 4/5 stars. The Liliko'i Lavosh tasted yummy and had that expected crunch. Not sure about any Liliko'i taste, but there was a sweetness to it. 4/5 stars. We have tried the cookies in the past and know the cookies are very popular and tasty. The raisin bread has a Japanese white bread chewy texture and the raisins are plentiful. Very tasty just as is and without toasting or butter. Next time I want to try the cinnamon raisin bread. Today's mochi was sweet potato at $3.50 for 3 pieces. A great deal. There are refrigerated items also for sale. Great to visit now and give back to the community. Everything is reasonably priced and tasty. And yes, I got the adorable canvas bag! read more
Oh my dough! Today felt like a carb needed day so we ventured to the bake house so we can stock up for the week! As a pillsbury doughboy lover, I giggled in delight with the wide variety of goods here, along with the current promo of spending $40 to get a big tote bag + Manapua! Thank you fellow Yelpers Irene, Nadine, Jackie for reviewing first! Congrats on your grand opening! I have frequented the cafe and bought some bread from Costco before so I know I love their products. We got a variety of goods: croissant loaf $8, pumpernickel rye loaf $8, kalamata olive loaf $8, lilikoi lavosh $7, brioche buns $5, onion hoagies $5 for a grand total of only $41! What a haul! Love the complimentary adorable tote bag and free Manapua too! My favorites were the croissant toast, pumpernickel rye, and onion hoagies. The pork and sweet potato Manapua were yummy! I love that all proceeds will be donated to the Hawaii community foundation until the end of November. What a generous way to support our community and eat some delicious dough! A side note is that they do not take cash, so bring your card to pay! The perfect gifts to share with your friends, family, and neighbors. Will definitely be back! read more
Baked goodness... What we all have seen at the various local Farmers Market has it's very own retail shop just a few doors down from their restaurant is right here at La Tour Bakehouse. You can find just about everything but the Macarons from cookies, scones, and even manapua. The variety of baked goods they have is impossible to mention them all but know that they have it all here at our convenience without waiting for the specific market that we usually find them in. The lady here was very lovely and friendly mentioned the different cookies they have along with the sandwiches which is only$3.50 (ham or turkey) using their Japanese bread with lettuce and American cheese I just couldn't resist and got one for an after work snack. I also got a loaf of the croissant toast as i know a friend who loves croissant and is going through a rough time which i though would cheer her up and loves toast as well which is a win win choice for sure. The lady gave me a pork and egg manapua as well which was so thoughtful and was thinking of getting it but was afraid if i didn't like it but now will definitely give it a try and will be back for more bread now that i know I can easily find them here in one spot. Thank you! read more

If you love bread and baked pastries as much as I do, you'll love this place! I absolutely love that I can now get all my favorite La Tour baked goods in one place instead of going to the weekly farmers market! There's a variety of different breads here, for starters. Japanese sandwich bread, multi-grain, sourdough, rye, English muffins, brioche, dinner rolls, sweet bread, baguettes, croissants... these are just the ones I remember off the top of my head! There's also their famous lavosh (one of my favorite things to add to a charcuterie board with friends) and other baked goods you can get as gifts. The refrigerator on the right side of the store also has pickled veggies, sandwiches, and other baked goods. I give this place a 5/5 because it has everything you need in one place! The AC is blasting, it's well lit, and the staff member is knowledgeable and helpful. It's a few doors down from the La Tour Cafe on Nimitz so you can park in the same lot. Ample parking and easy to get to! Just a heads up that it's contactless payment so no cash. Also, 100% of their proceeds until November 30, 2024 will go to the Hawaiʻi Community Foundation, so get that bread, people! read more
Grand Opening weekend with Friday being their first day. Located in the La Tour Plaza with La Tour Cafe anchoring the strip mall on the Diamond Head side of the building. They have a number of dedicated parking stalls near their storefront...in between Sherwin Williams and 5.11. Retail floor for the La Tour Bakehouse is small but there are a good selection of bread varieties. Breads are on the left and pastries, rolls, buns, and cookies are to the right and in the middle table. No cash taken and their hours are from 7am till 7 pm daily. read more

Grabbed a bite next door so was happy to see that the bakehouse was open! First time here so I was excited, love La tour products. The prices are better than the markets and I spent over $40 so I got a free bag lol. The selection is great- I got a huge loaf of sweet bread for only $5 which I'll freeze and use for stuffing later! read more

8/17/24 Saw this on Cheap Eats HNN on Wednesday so decided to give them a try. I was at Tanaka's waiting for my take-out order & sauntered down a few doors for the goodies. I've never been to any La Tour business but Guy & Billy V made it look worthwhile. They are just 2 doors down from the 711 store in the same building as Tanaka Saimin on NImitz. Since it was grand opening weekend, thought they were going to be super busy but for a Saturday afternoon, about 1:30PM, it wasn't. They have plenty of designated parking spaces for the business right in in front of the business, both sides. When you enter, the place is small but from what they said on TV, the main bakery is huge, on several floors. There are signs posted with prices & each food item had a price sticker. There were 2 ladies working, super helpful & friendly. They constantly re-stocked the shelves. They had so many goodies that I had a hard time deciding what to buy without going crazy overbuying. I did manage to get a few things. The lady at the register was trying to get me to buy more. Current promo is a cute tote bag if you spend $40+. I was only at $22 but she did offer a free manapua, instead. At first I declined because I thought she was trying to sell me one but then she said free, I figured I have nothing to lose. She only offered the sweet potato or the veggie. I selected the sweet potato. When I first entered the store, I bypassed the manapua altogether because it's in the fridge & you heat it up at home. For $3.50 each, I'd rather have a heated manapua to eat right away. They had pork, veggie, or sweet potato. Good idea to bring your own bag if you're buying a lot. Everything is paperless/cashless. They only accept bank/debit card & you don't get a paper receipt but one that is emailed to you. Banana bread $10 - the sign doesn't indicate this, but it does have walnuts in it. The banana muffins for $5 does not have any nuts. I got the bread. I thought it was a little pricey for a loaf but I'm always on the lookout for good banana bread. This did not disappoint. It was great - moist, not too sweet. The walnuts were not small pieces, but almost like little chunks. Hubby was pleased that you could actually see some bits of banana in it. Cream cheese danish $5 - ONO! It's a thick, round danish filled to the brim with cream cheese & so yummy! A little on the sweet side but pairs quite well with a decent cup of coffee. Taro sweet potato pastry $4 - Tasty but on the sweet side. The pastry was nice & flaky. It tastes similar to manju. I enjoyed this one. Taro rolls pull apart $3 - this one I did not care for as much. I didn't eat it until the next day but even after warming it, it was pretty hard & dry, & not flavorful. Thought it was going to have a little sweetness to it, it did not. The price was right, it just didn't taste as good as I expected. Sweet potato manapua - FREE - The dough/bread of the manapua was nice & soft after I heated it, that was unexpected. Thought it was going to be dry. The filling was a little too sweet for me. Some of the things that I would like to try on the next visit are the mango lavosh, mac nut cookies, chocolate almond croissant, brownies, & the pork manapua. Overall it was a good experience here worth a return - great customer service, reasonably priced baked goods, & most importantly, this business gives back to the community. Between now & November, 100% of the proceeds goes to charity - 50% to Maui wildfire victims & 50% to Oahu charities & non-profits. Seriously, who does that?!?! Kudos to the business in doing this, every little bit helps. Go visit this place, it's definitely worth the trip for this very reason. Mahalo! read more
First time here, located next to 7-11 Nimitz. Lots of front parking in front of bakery, 15 minutes parking. As you know you can find La Tour products in all major stores. They decided to open a bakery. The breads are excellent, the ham sandwich was better than 7-11, must be the bread. If you're in the area, give this place a try. Aloha, Derek read more
Now you don't have to drive to a farmers market to get fresh made Latour breads. Located on Nimitz Highway in the Latour building. You can run in and get some fresh baked bread anytime. It's the same quality bread you would expect from latour. The service is quick. There's no line to wait. It's a simple location with shelves on either side of the shop and a checkout counter in the back. read more

They are having a grand opening of a new store today! It's a few doors down from La Tour, where they serve the food. Not only do their have all their baked goods here, they are selling their Vietnamese Manapua, filled with either a chicken or pork mixture with a hard boiled egg in the middle. If you haven't had Vietnamese-style manapua, the filling has meat and chopped up black fungus and lup cheong (sweet Chinese sausage) and is seasoned with oyster sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and black pepper so it's a little on the sweeter side. Everyone working there was so nice and friendly. They are having a grand opening special: spend $40 and get a very cute canvas bag! It's huge and the print is so cute! read more
