I love when they listen. I said 4 regular coco puffs. The worker replies back 2 regular? I said no 4 regular. She said ok 4 regular coco puffs and then when I get home open the box and see it's 4 matcha. I don't micromanage cause that's going to ruin my day :( it's 1 thing cause I have to drive far and another with the price cause it's a bit of a rip. It's not cheap. Leaving cause this happened 3x now. I would say maybe it's morning they didn't have their coffee or something but I bought this after 1 pm read more

Liliha Bakery - 4 matcha puffs that I certainly did not order - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

we got two strawberry shortcake cakes for a coworker's birthday and the cakes look really pretty. Liliha bakery is a very highly recommended and popular bakery in Hawaii and me and my family often go here for breakfast and mainly for the blueberry scones, which are my favorite we normally get a different cake and this was my first time trying the strawberry shortcake and I felt like the strawberries were overripe and there there was a little too much whipped cream and not a lot of cake. I would suggest getting a different cake or going with their go to which are Cocoa puffs. read more

Love this little location. No frills, no mess. They have what they have, and either you get it or get out. They heat a lot of food items up in the microwave (oxtail soup, friend rice, etc) so if you're not a fan of food bring nuked, look away! read more

Ordered takeaway today. Had to wait as bread pudding was still cooling down to be cut. Pleasantly surprised at how nicely my lunch was boxed up. LB takes pride in delivering a quality product in top notch fashion. So appreciated. I know of only one other restaurant that does this. MC. IYKYK. The mushroom chicken was wonderful. Lightly breaded and fried. Not greasy and oh so crispy. I asked for gravy separate as it can be salty. Not today. It was wonderful. Yes, that is canned corn. It's been a long time since I ate canned corn, but it was good. No complaints here. I will definitely order this again. Might make a sando out of one piece. Oh the possibilities! Thank you, LB for a wonderful birthday lunch.! read more

We drove over to the nearby Liliha Bakery to buy a full size cake to celebrate my cousin's birthday. Inside, the line was short which gave us time to consider our options. All of the available cakes were on display. This time we chose the passion guava cake and the staff was able to add a birthday greeting for no charge. The bottom of the cake tray was taped down inside the box which was an added touch to keep it from moving around. The cake was a delicious hit with its alternating layers of light chiffon cakes, custard and passion fruit glaze. read more

Every time I go back to Hawaii, I have to get cocoa puffs. At this point it's tradition! Liliha Bakery has been around for forever and they are known for their cocoa puffs. Little puff pastries filled with chocolate pudding filling and topped with Chantilly cream. It is heavenly! You must order at least one. They also have a bunch of other note worthy pastries and desserts, but there are too many to list. If it catches your eye, order it, you won't be disappointed. There is also a diner with an extensive local menu. I usually get the loco moco and it is hammah! read more

Early for an appointment at Kuakini Hospital so we decided to get lunch. The counter was full as usual and when the waitress took us in the back to the kitchen. We were excited! There were several tables of 4 and it was where all the bakers were rolling and mixing their delicious pastries and cookies. This was a first and our waitress Leila? was very nice too. I had a burger which was homemade and of course served in their own homemade bun. Served with potatos I could not finish the meal. My husband had a Mahi sandwich and that was a big helping as well. 3 young folks came in after us and had breakfast. We paid for their meal and wished them a Happy holiday. It was just a really nice day and experience to have the honor to sit in the kitchen. read more

Sitting on the 3rd level of the mall where all of the other restaurants are, Liliha Bakery sells baked goods but is also a restaurant with bar. It excels across all facets of a restaurant with taste, service and overall feel. A solid spot and you can't lose if you come here. Taste: 4/5 Service: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value for money: 3/5 We had: 1) Loco moco with fried rice: tastes like a good ol' standard loco moco 2) Grilled mahi mahi sandwich: with the type of bun they decided to use here, it was massive! You could still bite into it nicely though given the bread is just puffy. Not bad! 3) fried chicken drumstick: it tastes as you would expect out of a deep fried drumstick Overall not bad! I'd come back. read more

Tourist review with first trip to Hawaii - On our first day in Hawaii, we had to go to Liliha Bakery. This was our favorite food spot during our whole trip. Prices are reasonable, and the food is delicious! We got the country style omelette and the Mac nut Waffard. Both were delicious and would definitely order again. Our order also came with the famous butter roll and jelly. That was so good! I wish we got more rolls! We also picked up some pastries from the bakery side. Highly recommend anyone to stop by! read more

Liliha Bakery never disappoints, and the loco moco is absolutely top-tier. The hamburger patty was juicy and well-seasoned, the rice perfectly cooked, and the gravy rich and flavorful without being overwhelming. Topped with a perfectly cooked egg, it was pure comfort food done right. The portions are generous, the food comes out fresh, service is great, and the overall experience feels classic and satisfying. If you're at Liliha Bakery and wondering what to order, the loco moco is a must. I'd happily come back just for this dish. read more

I came here just for the Chantilly cream puffs, and they were absolutely worth it. The Chantilly frosting is thick, sweet, and wonderfully rich, which I personally love. The puff itself is a little on the dry side, but the creamy filling completely makes up for it. If you enjoy indulgent desserts, this one is a must-try. read more

My sister always goes to the Nimitz location, I decided to come here because it's the original. It was a great meal. You can tell this place has been around for a long time. There is no table seating, only counter seating. The bakery area is also a decent Size. Everybody was friendly and helpful. I decided to go with the Portuguese sausage, eggs, and garlic fried rice. The breakfast was a total home run! The eggs were perfectly over easy, the Portuguese sausage was delicious and it wasn't too greasy, and you could definitely taste the garlic in the fried rice. Instead of toast or a biscuit, it came with a wonderfully yeasty roll on the side, which was soft and delicious. The roll also came with an amazingly wonderful raspberry syrup.. Everything was absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, I tore into my breakfast so fast, I didn't get a photo. Afterwards, I stopped at the bakery to get a cocoa puff, which my sister recommended, it's basically a chocolate cream puff. It was creamy and delicious. I also decided to try one of the poi donuts. It was another home run. I could taste the Taro, and that kept the doughnut from being overly sweet. I loved both of the treats. Thanks for the great breakfast. I will be back. read more

A good friend who now lives in Oahu kept raving about the food and baked goods were at Liliha. Naturally, we ended up meeting here for bfast during our last trip. Arrived to a packed counter but was offered a seat inside the kitchen. Felt a bit warm and humid and opted to wait for the counter to open up. The entire staff was super friendly and we were seated within a few minutes. The grilled butter rolls were tasty and love how they toast the buns on the griddle. I opted for the garlic fried rice w/ spam which was phenomenal! Only complaint was that the eggs were cooked a bit too long but still had a little bit of runny yolk inside. Wife ordered the denver omelet w/ fried rice which she also enjoyed. Couldn't leave without buying some baked goods and ended up trying their poi mochi donut which had an outstanding mochi texture but thought it lacked poi flavor. However, the cinnamon butter mochi cake was amazing! Was great fresh and even better when warmed in the oven. Next time, I'll turn on the broiler so that the top crisps up a tad bit. Will definitely be back for the bfast items and Aloha service! read more

The loco moco was amazing, it was everything I had hoped a loco moco would taste like! Definitely gotta get it with garlic fried rice. The fried chicken was made with love, it's like they had gave every piece of chicken a massage before they put them in the fryer. The Hawaiian bread was buttery and soft. The service was like family! I recommend this spot for any visitors to try! 10/10 shakas read more

So maybe I had my hopes up too high , but this place let me down. Everything was just ok. Bread tasted old and a little stale. Filling didn't pack any flavor. I bought like 8 different baking good and the banana bread but just did hit home. Service was ok, they didn't seem happy to serve, maybe they were just busy. It looked good but fast just didn't make. Made me sad as I see this place as I drive home and it has always looked so good. read more

Went on Sunday morning, and it was pretty busy. No place for sit down but decided to get pastries instead. The ladies working were also super sweet and helpful The pastries had a huge variety. I got the ham and cheese croissant, almond croissant, chocolate croissant; and a matcha coco puff. I loved the coco puffs. So buttery and delicious. All the pastries were amazing. I would go to Liliha next time I'm craving any sweets. So good! read more

The original Liliha Bakery on the corner of Kuakini and Liliha. Home of the famous Cocoa Puffs. A delicious slightly larger than bite size cream puff topped with luscious Chantilly. They also have updated variations served with Macha and Chocolate. A hidden gem is their Cream Horn. Puff pastry shaped like a cone filled with custard and topped with powdered sugar. Awesome . Countertop dining, take out available for hot entrees. Service is friendly and accommodating. Parking available in a private parking lot and on the street. read more

A friend recommended that we should try Liliha Bakery for breakfast and we stopped by the last morning we were in Honolulu. It is located on the third floor of the International Marketplace and we were pleasantly surprised to find that there was no wait for seating when there were lines out the door for places on the ground level (arrived around 7am on a weekday). I opted for the smoked pork and eggs and added a scoop of rice. My husband got the Ultimate Berries & Nuts with a short stack pancake. The smoked pork was quite smokey and it was a perfect complement to the over medium eggs and rice. I appreciated the small salad too. The pancakes were giant and we could have honestly just shared the plate of pancakes. They were soft and fluffy and tasty. Liliha Bakery is a great option for breakfast and then have a giant variety of pastries in the case in the front. As it is in a bit of a touristy area, the prices are a bit high. Even so, I believe Liliha is a good option for breakfast when you are in the Waikiki area. read more

The bakery has a parking lot. It wasn't too hard to find parking. They have a little dining area to eat but not too big and it looked like most people took their baked goods to go. We tried the poi donut, coco puff, macadamia malasadas and haupia malasadas. Got the coco puff out of a rec from a friend but maybe they hyped it up too much. It was very cold, I thought OK. I did like the chewy poi donut. The fillings for the malasadas were good. I assumed they would be hot tho but they were not. Staff was pleasant. read more

We sat on the counter of course and you can see them preparing your food right in front of your eyes . Service was fast and friendly they print your bill before they ask if anything else is needed Lol . I guess they need to get you in and out quickly because of limited seating . read more

Overrated!! At first glance when entering the restaurant I was overwhelmed with the desserts. I was ready to purchase a variety of pastries. They all looked so delicious! But the service craved my appetite. I wanted to learn more about the desserts so I would know which ones I wanted to buy. But the employee gave me the impression that I was wasting her time. She was hesitant about giving me a description of the pastries. I realize I wasn't at a museum but I want to know which would satisfy my taste buds. After all these pastries aren't cheap. Not to mention I would have been ok (maybe) had she handed me the dessert menu then sent me about my way. This employee eventually ignored me by rushing over to greet the next customer. I brushed it off and moved on to the dining area for lunch. I ordered the hamburger steak and upgraded to fried rice. Not sure how to describe the rice but it was not tasty at all. The steak burger was ok. I had also ordered some sort of popular fruity beverage and asked that my glasses be filled with ice. The waitress insisted that I not get much ice because they don't serve refills. So instead i asked nicely for a side of ice. Had to ask twice. After all was said and done I excused myself leaving a plate of food and drink. Nothing about my visit at this restaurant went well. Then as we were leaving my cousin stopped to buy dessert. A different employee accosted me and was polite. Even asked if I had questions. You might call me stubborn but the first employee had already ruined it for me. I left this establishment without buying any pastries and honestly I would have liked a refund for my lunch. Over all it was the service and reason I rated this location one star. read more

I called a few places for half sheet cake prices and thought Liliha Bakery was the best choice for what I was looking for. There were places that you could only choose their decorations OR the price of their cake and decoration were sooooo outrageous, equivalent to one and a half times more than Liliha Bakery...yikes! I dropped by to order a half sheet Chantilly with Banana Cake and asked if I could speak to the decorator. I knew what I wanted but didn't know what colors should be used for the words. Venus who was the decorator came out where I described to her what I wanted. This was for a baby shower for twins...a boy and girl. I wanted the "Boy" to be blue and the "Girl" to be pink but wasn't sure on what color should be used for the rest of the words. She said she could combine the pink and blue together...wow, never thought to ask that! I emailed her a couple of pictures with the characters/border. She took the time to looked at it, had other suggestions regarding the border and words. Whenever in this situation, I always feel like I'm a bother and want to rush so I don't take too much of their time but Venus made me feel like my cake order was important. Thumbs up to her customer service! After I paid for the cake, we ate lunch at the counter. My husband who always orders the Grilled Mahi Mahi & Grilled Chicken from the "Daily Specials Combo" menu that is offered only at this location decides to try the Grilled Mahi Mahi & Hamburger Steak. That sounded good so I ordered the same. The Mahi Mahi was good as usual with a generous portion. As for the Hamburger Steak, both my husband and I thought it was burnt and dry. We didn't care for it so we'll stick to the Grilled Mahi Mahi & Grilled Chicken. When my daughter picked up the cake, she texted me a picture of it. OMG! Venus, you're awesome! The cake and the color of the words were sooooooo nice! Stitch and Angel were done so well! Thank you, Venus! Wanted to mention...found out a friend picked up a quarter sheet Chantilly with Chocolate Cake a week after. Not sure if Venus did it but my friend was really happy with it. She gave me a few pieces of her cake and I liked the chocolate cake better...my husband still liked the banana cake better. Both are good! As far as prices, her quarter sheet was slightly less than half of what I paid for a half sheet so I'm assuming it's because of the "banana cake" versus "chocolate cake". I know we will always order our cakes from Liliha Bakery! FYI: I checked out YouTube to find out how to cut the cake where I wouldn't mess up the frosting. Found one where they used dental floss. I tried it but it was too hard cutting through the frosting. If you take the cake right out of the refrigerator, the frosting is firm so using a knife will cut through nicely. If the cake was out for a while, the frosting will be soft so the dental floss would work but check YouTube first because there are steps on what to do. Workers on the bakery side and the food counter side are always nice! Parking is limited but opens up when people are there only to pick up pastries. read more

Liliha bakery is a staple, and you can't go wrong with this location. The seating is limited here as there is only counter service, but the food comes out pretty quick. We loved everything but didn't care much for the beef stew. The BLT was huge! They know how to make a good sandwich. I also like to get the waffles here. I noticed this location doesn't offer the miso butterfish, so you have to go to Ala Moana, Nimitz or Pearl Highlands for their extended menu. Just the regular classics here. read more

It felt like an old school diner. This place is popular with the locals and there weren't many tourists at this establishment. As you walk in, there is a large counter with stools to the right. Simply find an available seat and wait for one of the staff to take your order. I had the country style omelet which is one of their best sellers. It's scrambled eggs with onions, tomatoes and your choice of meat (I chose the Portuguese sausage). I paid extra for cheese and fried potatoes. It was good, but very greasy. I ate it all because I just finished hiking Diamond Head and was very hungry. The butter rolls were excellent- soft and pillowy on the inside and nicely toasted on the outside. Service at the main food counter wasn't rude, but not friendly either. I wasn't greeted with a hello and was asked if I had already ordered. They also did not provide me water and I had to ask for it a little later. The male customer to the left of me received water without asking and got his food first and ordered more than me. The male customer to the right of me also received water upon sitting and got more servings of butter rolls. To the left is the bakery. I ordered two cream puffs to go - one with plain cream and the other with matcha filling. There was too much filling and the pastries did not taste fresh. The staff at the bakery counter was much more pleasant, friendlier and appreciative. read more

Forget coco puffs! It's all about the mochi donuts and mochi bites! The location is convenient and service is excellent!

Pro tip. Pancake pricing can be deceiving. Price goes down the more you order by a lot - with the difference between 2 and 3 cakes being just a buck. However pancake size goes down the more you order. Single pancake is a little smaller than the plate read more

Stopped in to pick up a few sweet treats and loved them! They have a fantastic array of baked goods, from your standard donuts and muffins to croissants and danishes. However, some unique options I recommend trying are the mochi donuts and my personal favorite, the coco puff. It's a puffed pastry with cold chocolate cream in the middle and your choice of topping ex coconut, green tea, etc. While I didn't take advantage of the diner side, there is a counter where you can sit and eat a regular meal. There's plenty of parking outside as well. read more

The cream team The bakery is on one side and the cafe is on the right side. I only came for the sweets. Lilikoi masalada was good. Poi mochi donut was not bad, very light in flavor and will probably not get again. The stars of the show were the cream puffs. Original, matcha, and coco puffs were all delicious. The dollops on top of the puffs almost have like a butterscotch flavor, very interesting! Restroom is outside by parking and codes are needed. read more

We have gone there since i was a child but the old filipino woman who last assisted us at the counter was so unbelievably rude that I can not bring myself to go there anymore. She talked in her language both loudly and under her breath while assisting us, snickered a lot at us while also just being cold and rude. Then when I got to the car I realized that she put the wrong item in my carrier. When I went back in to return it, she was cleaning the front door and she gave me an attitude about opening it and walking through. I w rote Liliha Bakery directly about this a month ago when it happened. They could not be bothered to respond, so now I am writing this review. Since we are a gay couple, it's obvious that she was being rude and making fun of us for that. For this reason, I highly suggest that you do not go here if you are LGBT. It's unsafe. read more

Came here for breakfast and it gave me the much needed old school Hawaii sentimental vibe that I crave whenever I visit the island. They're always busy but it's soooooo worth the wait. My favorite spot to eat is in one of the kitchen booths because you get to see the inside of the bakery in action. If you come with a small group and have the time to wait for a slot to open, I definitely recommend the wait. Service is phenomenal and food is excellent. read more

Service . Food very sad. Ambiance Nice except the music is too loud and not quite dining music. Recap of food. Pork belly with fried rice, 2 eggs. Not actually pork belly and the strip served was burnt - they flipped so the burn side was down. It was severely over seasoned. The fried rice had so much jar garlic, you could see it. Side of Spam. It was barely cooked. Too much salt. The food was unedible. Paid bill, got pastries, yum, and left. Will only get pastries in the future. read more

Liliha Bakery - Honolulu We had such a great experience at Liliha Bakery. From the moment we sat down, Virginia H. took amazing care of us. She was warm, attentive, and made the whole meal even better. The banana pancakes were hands down the best we've ever had. They were incredibly flavorful, with puréed bananas mixed right into the batter so every bite was rich and naturally sweet. You can tell they don't cut corners here. The omelets were just as impressive. They were made with real eggs, not the carton kind, and you could absolutely taste the difference. Fluffy, fresh, and cooked perfectly. And the bakery itself is a dream. So many fresh, delicious options lined the cases, it was hard to choose. Everything looked beautifully made and tempting. We'll definitely be back. Between the quality of the food, the variety in the bakery, and the excellent service from Virginia H., this spot is a must when in Honolulu. read more
