Table for 11 the morning after the 4th of July without a reservation? What, like it's hard? You can't make reservations here, but they do have an iPad that you can be added to their waitlist. Even though it was rather busy, we were seated within 10-ish minutes and got their biggest table outside. And right next to their butter roll grill- score! We had 11 people including kids and teenagers and there's really something on the menu for everyone here. Even my picky nephew was able to find a milkshake and add an egg to their ham and cheese croissant. I got their mahi mahi breakfast and upgraded to get their fried rice. Mahi mahi might not sound like a breakfast food for most, but it's one of my favs that I used to get from their OG location and I hadn't had it in so long. And that's the best thing about Liliha Bakery, there are so many local favorites that you can get any time of day. My mom got the oxtail soup (I got a bit of plate fomo from that). The rest of the table got breakfast classics: pancakes w/ a side of spam, 2 eggs + bacon, steak and eggs etc. The butter rolls here are so good and love that they come complimentary but I do believe there's a charge after the first basket. read more

We visited Liliha Bakery at the International Market Place in Waikīkī yesterday. The food was absolutely delicious and definitely lived up to the hype! Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the food. Our waitress seemed to be having a rough day. The table behind us had to send food back three different times because they kept receiving the wrong orders, and there was about a 30-minute period where our server completely disappeared. We had to ask another staff member for our check and to-go boxes. She also never came back to check on our table or refill our water. Everyone has off days, so we're hoping that's all it was. We'd definitely come back because the food was so good--we just hope to have a different server next time. read more

We actually didn't plan to do dinner. I was told by many that the baked goods here were something special and worth trying. Knowing me, I was most interested in the dessert, but we ended up dining here on a whim. We had really great service when we dined in. I ordered the oxtail soup because I hadn't had it before, which fulfills my rule of trying new foods when I can. It was tasty, with a unique spice blend reminiscent of other beef soups I've had in the past. However, I was particularly wowed however by the complementary bread and raspberry jam. Call me simple, but the bread was actually the star of the show for me, perfectly soft and buttery. The location in Waikiki is perhaps a clear reminder that it is a tourism city. The atmosphere is that of fine dining. Not a bad place to grab a meal when on vacation in Honolulu. read more

Liliha Bakery was on a lot of people's must-try lists, so we put it on ours. We came here for lunch and were seated outside. What was interesting was how many birds were trying to come and steal your food from the table! Be aware of that. Service was good, food was alright. I ordered a noodle dish with shrimp in it. But the shrimp sort of tasted very dry. Overall it was an alright spot. Tried their ube mochi thing as well and to me I didn't really enjoy it. A bit on the dry side as well. But maybe I would come back to try some other items. read more

Good bread pudding. Very good blueberry scones. Good mochi ball. Everyone likes their order, but we bought too much to eat it all fresh. What we ate fresh was fantastic, what we waited a day for was good. Quite a line, but it moved quickly. Looks like they are used to dealing with it and they did so nicely. read more

Went to grab some bakery items one day and sat for breakfast another day. The first items we grabbed were the French donut (flavorless - would not recommend) and the onion bread (good but a little dry). But we sat down the next day and got the garlic spam fried rice and it was delicious. We also got the cinnamon roll which was so good! Service was great. read more

Wow nice place for breakfast guys. Waikiki beach there are many breakfast places but this one really gives you what you're looking for. I ordered two eggs with corn beef hash. It comes with rice and a salad and delicious coffee. My wife ordered two eggs and bacon same with rice and salad. And then they bring you their specialty butter roll.... Oh my gosh it was so good.. it right in the international market third floor and they also have a great bakery... I give them 5 star for cleanliness, food and great service... and as far as Waikiki prices are reasonable... don't miss it... read more

Having awesome experience at the Pearl City Liliha and in love with their butter mochi, we made a come back to the Waikiki one for the savory food. It was a nicer space that looked newer as well but the service was unfortunately super slow. We needed to call the servers for multiple times before our order was finally picked up and it took awhile before getting our food ready. Then we also weren't given the butter roll until we asked (deep frowned). Fortunately the Loco Moco made it up as it's so filling, the beef hamburg was juicy, and the gravy was well-seasoned with perfectly cooked sunny side up. The butter roll did earn it's spotlight being so fluffy and aromatic especially served warm and fresh! read more

We came as a large group of 16 people for brunch on our last day on the Island. A few days before my daughter and I stopped to buy some pastries to go and both times we went the place was packed! They serve complimentary bread while you wait for your orders and OMG that bread was to die for with their housemate jelly/spread. The Smoked pineapple pork belly I ordered had a bit of a kick but since the flavors were good I ate it all up. Their Mac salad is quite refreshing and the burger was extraordinary. My drink was the best! I could drink a whole pitcher of it in one sitting if it was bottomless refills! So refreshing and just the right amount of sweetness. I highly recommend coming here but come early as the lines get crazy. On the flip side, if you get hungry while you wait, you can always sample their pastries which are all pretty darn good as well. read more

Liliha Bakery is on the top floor of the International Marketplace (gorgeous seating areas, feels like you're at the treetop level). The bakery is modern and very beautiful with an outdoor patio. We stopped by to take some pastries to go. Their cream puffs are popular so we tried both the green tea and coco puffs. The green tea cream puff was light and airy. The perfect mix of sweet cream with a hint of salt. The coco puff was a classic chocolate cream puff, but nothing that special. We also tried one of their mochi bites which was the perfect chewy texture. The one item that I wouldn't recommend was the lilikoi malasada. I'm not sure if we got an older malasada, but the breading tasted like a dry cake donut. The filling tasted nothing of lilikoi unfortunately. Wouldn't recommend as compared to other malasada spots in Waikiki. Overall would come again for the cream puffs and possibly to try one of their breakfast dishes. read more

After our bakery hopping adventure, we stopped by Halekulani Bakery since we were still craving more pastries after only having two at our previous spot. The display looked very appealing, so we picked several items: Green Tea Croissant, Dubai Chocolate Croissant, Coconut Danish, Dubai Chocolate Coco Puff, and Guava Cream Cheese Strudel. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing. All of the pastries were overwhelmingly sweet to the point that it was difficult to taste the individual flavors. Everything had a similar sugary profile, which took away from what should have been distinct items. The texture and freshness were also lacking. The pastries were soft in a soggy way rather than light and flaky. They tasted like pre-made pastries you might find packaged at a grocery store rather than freshly baked. Overall, we did not enjoy the experience and ended up not finishing some of the items because they were too sweet. :( read more

Good place to eat at for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Has a decent amount of items to choose from on their menu. The coconut malasada was so good! It was soft and had a good amount of filing. I really enjoyed the Hawaiian BLT. It caught my eye on the menu because it had pineapple in the sandwich. I had to remove the sprouts because it was too much for me. The bread was like a croissant, but it wasn't flaky. It was soft and didn't get soggy. The Mahi Mahi plate was good too, not much to say about it. Wish the corn that came with it was crunchy! Our server was nice and friendly. The restaurant had patio and indoor eating. We chose to eat out on the patio because it made us feel like we were in a diner inside. read more

Just for your reference, Jamie W and I went to the original Liliha Bakery in Kalihi for the very first time on our recent trip to Honolulu (review: https://yelp.to/2QcWi9AoBZ). We definitely gravitated to the old-school vibe of big local plates on that long counter, but what really drew us in were their signature Coco Puffs. Those were delicious, so much so that a couple of days later, we made a point of coming here. So it was no surprise this place has a far more tourist-centric vibe since it's one of several restaurants on the crowded third floor terrace of the International Market Place. Skipping the restaurant, we hovered in front of the bakery display case. We weakened and bought four $3.19 Coco Puffs to go (Photo 6). Delectable chocolate-filled cream puffs topped with chantilly frosting. Easily devoured. FOOD - 4 stars...it's about the puffs...don't judge us! AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...oh look, there's a dining room with tables and chairs SERVICE - 4 stars...they were quick TOTAL - 4 stars...did I mention the coco puffs? RELATED - Exploring Hawaii?

We visited here very early breakfast and there wasn't a wait! This was maybe about 8AM and there were plenty of tables available. Most people were sitting outside in the patio. We had the rolls to start off with along with their signature jam? It was very nice! Most of us also ordered their signature loco moco, and a fried chicken plate, and mac nut waffles. The portions are pretty huge! It's very filling and I honestly was only able to eat half of it. The loco moco was very nice, although I wish the gravy was a bit more flavorful, but it was pretty decent overall. The fried chicken was also pretty nice, very crispy! It's a solid brunch place, very spacious. Pretty convenient spot on the strip. read more

This is one of my favorite breakfast spots in Honolulu! Their Loco Moco with fried rice is tasty and on point. Their burger patty is pretty thick with a nice charred taste. The garlic fried rice pairs beautifully with both the steak and gravy. Just pour some Tabasco for some extra heat and vinegar taste. My favorite though, is their Mac Nut Waffard!! The Mac nut waffle with creamy custard is a hit. These are unique and one of the best breakfast items I've ever had, hands down. The custard is house made, thick, creamy and rich. The best custard you'll taste. I want to go back just for this item alone. Don't forget their complimentary butter bread with guava jelly! These are buttery and fluffy. They have some crisp around the edges too with a nice sugary crystal bite. These are also unique and addictive. Be careful because you can get full with just these! We will definitely come back again! read more

NGL, I wasn't expecting to give this location a 5/5 just bc it's their new location on the strip and... iykyk with how these things normally go. BUT, yooo location, staff, good, vibes.. everything was gas. I was pleasantly surprised with how good the food was at this location. Their oxtail soup *chef's kiss* . Their prime rib, golllyyy. The guava iced tea itself was a bangahhh. Maybe I shoulda added some alc to that just to complete the meal but shoooot this dinner was 15/10 yall. read more

Liliha Bakery Waikiki International Market Place - Guava iced tea - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I love the original and Nimitz locations. Love the hectic ambiance and great food and bakery. The Waikiki location last week just didn't work for me. I'm happy to see a local business thriving but I hope they can improve their customer flow. The baked goods looked as inviting as always but they seemed a day-old or something. The butter horn was hard and not flaky as I've come to expect and the chocolate of the Boston Creme donut wasn't creamy. They may wish to consider: 1, Clearly delineating the line for the restaurant from the bakery. It was super busy for both so there was a lot of confusion. 2. Perhaps placing the number machine for the bakery closer to the door? Tourists aren't familiar with the system so it leads to some unnecessary dissatisfaction. 3. The staff had to leave the counter to get coffee - hot or iced. The condiments for the coffee were on the showcase so people had to be in everyone's way to get their sugar and cream. In fact, if you were standing near the door you had to go through people waiting in line back into the establishment to get those items. But, with all this, the two ladies at the counter were remarkably composed and helpful. read more

Visiting Oahu for my Hubby's bday this weekend and i ordered my usual go to (yesterday), the smoked pork belly, and it turns out, the meat was super tough and the portion was def smaller than what i recall from the other times we have visited in the past. As shown on the pic, din't really get to eat it because it was so tough, i had to eat a couple of fried chicken from Hubby's order . I addressed this to our server Michael and all he said was "i'm so sorry..." and i guess, didn't care to offer any other resolution as he can see from my plate, i didn't get to enjoy my order. Additionally, i tried to order egg white scrambled but he said they do not do that as an option. (Which clearly was wrong because they have done it for me in the past as shown on my other photos here. read more

Liliha Bakery is one of my go-to spots whenever I'm on Oahu. It's one of those places that always feels comforting and reliable, whether you're coming for bakery items or a full meal. I ordered the prime rib cooked medium, and it was really good tender, juicy, and cooked just right. It's a great option if you're craving something hearty. My mom ordered the oxtail soup, which is one of their well-known dishes. It was rich, comforting, and packed with flavor the kind of dish that really hits the spot. My sister got the steak and shrimp, also cooked medium, and it was another solid choice. The steak was cooked nicely and paired well with the shrimp, making it a satisfying surf-and-turf style plate. Overall, Liliha Bakery never disappoints. Between the comforting local dishes and the nostalgic vibe, it's always a place I make sure to visit whenever I'm back on Oahu. read more

Some of the food including the loco moco and bacon were ice cold when they came out, the rice was all soggy and not cooked on the inside. The potatoes were not cooked on the inside. Our fault for not complaining immediately but when we finally got our bill which we had to ask for they had to call a manager who had to ask another manager and would only give 10% off since we didn't tell them immediately how bad the food was. This place was really good in the past but not sure if it was an off day or what. read more

We randomly found this cafe and noticed they're famous for their mochi donuts and cream puffs. Located on the third floor of a mall, the spot offers both dine-in and takeout from their bakery. You take a number, and the staff assists you once your number is called. We ordered the onion roll, which was delicious, and the cream puffs were light yet flavorful. The poi mochi donuts were great as well, though I wished they came out warm and fresh, ready to enjoy. A cute spot for a sweet treat! read more

Love Liliha Bakery! You can stop by the bakery to a variety of amazing pastries or get seated for a delicious sit down breakfast, lunch or dinner. The butterfish was delicious-perfectly cooked and seasoned. I loved their potato mac salad. The rice and corn complemented the meal well. The guava plantation iced tea was lightly sweetened. Breakfasts were also good here the portions were large; I couldn't finish everything on the plate. Stop by the bakery on the way out for some goodies for later! read more

Still one of my favorite breakfasts in all of Hawaii. Stopped back into the Waiks location this morning for a double stack of pancakes and a Denver omelette. Honestly, these pancakes make me downright weepy. Liliha has perfected their batter. It's malty and sweet, and cooks up light and fluffy in the middle. And the gang on the grill know how to fire these things so the outer rim gets a nice little crust while the inside stays cakey. Coffee and water stayed full the whole time. And be sure to snoop the baked goods out front. Take home a sack of Liliha's world famous coco puffs! read more

Our first time per others recommendation and the dine in experience was okay. I feel a little too over priced for the taste. Service was great tho and we left a great tip! I had my first Loco Moco with fried rice and it was good but not sure if I'd order it again. My daughter had the shrimp seimin noodles and the broth was tasty and she loved it. The prime rib was cooked well but needed more basic flavor such as salt and pepper. The oxtail soup was also good flavor but more on the bland side. The best way plate out of everyone's order was the mushroom chicken. The flavor of garlic with gravy and breaded chicken was a great combination. They gave beautiful outdoor seating and in door seating! read more

Liliha Bakery Waikiki International Market Place - Oxtail Soup with Seimin noodles - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Founded in 1950 as a bakery and coffee shop in Honolulu, Liliha Bakery expanded to this location in Wakiki in 2021. It's a full service restaurant with a large bakery case in the front, and a large indoor and outdoor dining space, taking advantage of the 3rd floor restaurant space in the International Market Place. It serves Hawaiian favorites, and was our lunch spot for our group of four when visiting Honolulu on a port day. The food was good, tasty and satisfying. One checks in via a digital tablet, and my wife's name was called within 5 minutes for seating if OK with indoor seating. We relearned how restaurants in Hawaii serve big portions, so this time, we ordered two plates to share. Waffle & Chicken Karaag ($20.95) which was quite good. It had been divided into 4 equal portions, with a decent syrup on the side. My wife's mother has really grown to love chicken and waffles...the combination really works for her. Oxtail soup ($27.95) with saiman (+$1.95) , came with two scoops of rice. Had two large pieces of thick oxtail and didn't skimp by giving us end pieces. The broth was excellent, rich but not too greasy, and adding the saiman was a pro move. I wish the oxtail had been cooked slightly longer to make it fall off the bone, but understand why that could be difficult for a fast moving dish. Coffee Float $12.95 - medium size cup of coffee with ice cream. I took a sip and was surprised that it was warm. My wife liked it though. Payment was done at the table, and our service throughout was good. Before we left, I made a separate purchase of 3 cream puffs ($3.49 each). It's a normal size cream puff, filled with a custardy yellow filling rather than the whipped cream. read more

This bakery has become a staple to visit every time I go to Hawaii. I absolutely love the oxtail soup here -- it's quite the penny ($29.99), but it's something that I can never really find on the mainland and it's quite delicious. My second favorite item here is the simple toast bread with their jam. I can eat a whole bag of these if given the opportunity to do so. This restaurant is located inside the international marketplace on the third floor. At the time that I got there (which was morning), it wasn't packed at all but I have heard this place can get quite busy. read more

We were recommended to try Likiha bakery, which serves breakfast all day! I was sad they no longer sell the eggs Benedict on their cornbread, as I'm sure their homemade cornbread would have been to die for. However, I went with the Denver Omelette, which came with their famous buttered roll, and it was delicious!! Our server was very attentive, and the vibes reminded me of a diner inside. Honestly a hidden gem in Waikiki, which I highly recommend you try for any meal of the day! read more

They call this place a bakery, but it's so much more. They have expansive indoor and outdoor seating areas on the upper level of the International Marketplace in Waikiki. They also have a large bar area between the indoor and outdoor dining areas. It's a special place to come with a group, or just solo for a quick and relaxing meal. This is a great place to get a drink, have an omelette for breakfast/brunch, get a steak, or just get a quick pastry at the bakery to-go in the entryway. It's definitely worth consider while in Waikiki. I went back twice, especially since the service was so friendly and efficient. read more

We were excited to try Liliha Bakery, it was a spot that many people mentioned and we made our way to the top floor of the International Market Place to try it for ourselves. When you first walk in they have the bakery area and everything looks so good. If you keep walking you'll find the host stand where you can put your name in. They have indoor and outdoor seating and their team here are very nice. We ordered the Loco Moco ($20.95) and the Two Eggs meal with corned beef hash ($19.50). Their famous butter rolls are very good and the bright red sauce that comes with it is very sweet but nostalgic and tasty. Both of our meals were delicious, and filling. I probably would order a loco moco next time, or even try something off their lunch menu, but I enjoyed my corned beef hash as well. We also noticed that the bathrooms here are very nice. The stall doors go all the way to the floor and ceiling and the whole restaurant was really clean. So glad we stopped here. read more

Finding a good food spot is a challenge when everyone is HANGRY and we're on holiday and don't know the area at all! A gentleman at our hotel suggested Liliha bakery. We tried the salmon, mahi mahi and the garlic shrimp saiman ju noodle soup and clam chowder. The. Butter. Rolls. Grilled and raspberry jam took our Hangry to a much more civilized level. Thank you JayR for saving us with the rolls! Our meals came out and they were all simply plated. Perfect portions and we took half of the soup home as well as the rice and potato Mac salad. Salmon was perfectly cooked. The mahi mahi was covered an egg wash and again, perfectly. We all tried the garlic shrimp saiman ju soup dish, the noodles - plentiful and tasty. The music was fun, but a little loud. We didn't mind, and next we are heading to the pastry counter to get goodies to go! read more

The food at Liliha bakery was amazing. The cinnamon roll was really good, but the bacon was kind of greasy. I loved their pancakes and they have a really good poi Ube doughnut. The service was really good. They let me take my time when I ordered because it took me long to decide, do I want the glazed doughnut or the cinnamon roll, and they were kind about it.
