Nestled between Keehi Lagoon and the exit to the airport, is the Molokai Hot Bread operation. One slow blink while driving down Ualena, and you may miss it on the right. Fortunately, their food truck caught my eye and I pulled into the parking lot. After reading all the different signs on the door, I had to try it! The team members are friendly and accommodating as they break away from the baking/packing operation inside to help you. The scent of yeast and sugar wafts through the air as you ask them questions about the selection. Bottom line - start by buying a loaf of their 'pillowy' delightful bread, then tailor the fillings you enjoy at home (or try their fillings)! Hard to hit the road and reach home before you sample what you've bought! read more

Looking to try something different, I asked around at the office, and most folks I asked had already tried Molokai Hot Bread. I never did. Everyone seemed to have something positive to say, that it tasted really good. Yesterday, I tried to order via Uber Eats, but from early morning until late morning the app kept saying the store was closed. I phoned and no one answered, which seemed to confirm it. Finally, after 11 am, the closed message disappeared, so I placed an order. Nothing seemed to happen - no indication the store was preparing it. Eventually, I got a message that my order could not be fulfilled. This morning, it started the same way at their posted opening time. I was losing hope, but just before 7:30 am the system worked. I ordered a Strawberry Cream Cheese and a Cinnamon Butter. This is where things began falling apart. For the longest time no driver was assigned. At last, one was, but delivery showed a delay of about an hour. Then an "Oops" message appeared, saying they were searching for another driver. Eventually, a different driver was assigned, though his location showed somewhere around Pearl City. He disappeared for a while, then reappeared and began slowly making his way to Honolulu. I texted him that I appreciated his efforts, and he responded that it wasn't a problem. At that point, I increased his tip. It was around 9 am when the bread finally arrived. Now comes the interesting part about human behavior. I messaged the rest of the staff that the bread was available, but some who had spoken highly of it didn't make the effort to stop by the break room. It was mostly those who had never tried it before who came by, and they liked it. In an informal poll, most preferred the strawberry, but a few liked the cinnamon better. For myself, I liked both for different reasons. My first impression was that I preferred the strawberry, but later noticed how it fell apart when we tried to cut it for sharing. The cinnamon held up better - and reminded me of a cinnamon roll. Because of the difficulty I had yesterday, I was determined to succeed this morning. But would I do it again? In all honesty, probably not. The bread was good, but not good enough to make me want to repeat the effort. read more

Never mind standing in the lines at the food truck! Go to the bakery where they make it! It's by the airport across the street from the whale building! See the map! They're open from 7 AM to 12 PM every day seven days a week! You will miss it. They're not very large signs. But look for the green letters on a small sign across the street from The whale building, Ewa of Jolene's. It's not really set up as a store, but they will sell you the bread right there! Just ring the bell if the door is closed. They take cash and card! I worked in the area for years and never knew they had a store there! read more

Five stars. The food, their bread is just plain ono!! The variety of other flavors they have is just simply mind-blowing. So delicious! Their service is excellent. They're now inside of Pearlridge next to the escalators, Uptown side. Always friendly and super helpful. The ambiance is cool. A pop up table set up next to the escalators. Low overhead cost and pretty much to the point. Highly recommend trying it out. You won't regret! read more

Molokai Breads are very soft and huge! The filling in it is perfect ratio to the bread and all are tasty good. They have so many filling choices to choose from, strawberry and cream cheese, blueberry and cream cheese, cinnamon and cream cheese, cinnamon and butter, and ube cheesecake. Each month, they have a special filling. This month, November, their special is pumpkin. They are usually at the Windward Mall's farmer's market on Wednesdays and Sundays. They are always sold out! The sellers are so nice and friendly. Being in the mall, there can be crowds at their stall so head to them first! read more

Per their Instagram page, they posted that there is a kiosk near Ala Moana Center, Street Level 1, near center stage. Hours are from 10:00 am.I finally made it and met an employee. Per employee, bakery is owned by George Kanemitsu and their Oahu bakery location. There are plain $8.00, mini flavored $10.00, and regular flavor $15.00. 6 flavors to choose from. On both side of cart, bread was displayed in an organized manner. My purchase was mini strawberry guava. When I got home, I tasted the bread which was soft, light, and sweet from strawberry guava and ate half. I plan to come again for regular. read more

Since I have yet to have this fresh, I can't give a full, fair review. I got me a taste of this Guava Cream Molokai Hot Bread as a gift from my neighbor... man, I literally ate 75% of the entire loaf... BY MYSELF! **Yikes!** haha! But it's THAT good!! The bread itself was soft and fluffy, while the cream filling was sweet and tart from the guava jelly with cream cheese spread. Perfect for when you have the munchies!! read more

Originally only available on the island of Molokai, Molokai Hot Bread is a cute little food truck that gives folks on Oahu a chance to enjoy this incredible bread. They're at a different location all over the island each day and we heard they often sell out quickly. After missing them one day of our trip, we made the trip out to Waipahu extra early to make sure we caught them before our trip was over. They have a lot of delicious flavors, but I absolutely loved the Ube Cheese Cream. The bread has a 2 day shelf life before you have to refrigerate it. You can even bring it back with you and freeze it to enjoy at a later time. If you freeze it, throw it in an air fryer at 250 degrees for 10 minutes and it'll be good as fresh! Hands down one of the best things we got on the island and wish they were closer so we can get more! - -- -- - Ube Cheese Cream Cinnamon & Cream Cheese Strawberry & Cream Cheese read more

Truck is parked along Lanakila park every Fridays. I've tried the blueberry cream cheese, Lilikoi, ube, and cinnamon. Love them all, including the plain. I love that there are no preservatives, but we usually consume it within hours of bringing it home. The texture of the bread is awesome; recipe hasn't change. We eat it plain or lightly toasted. Love that we get now get fresh Molokai bread on Oahu. Support local businesses, folks. read more

Tried to go for breakfast, doors were locked, it was OPEN, people standing inside stared at us & just ignored us trying to get in. We have never experienced something so cruel in all our years on this island. It was extremely embarrassing & incredibly unprofessional, especially since we brought visiting relatives with us to show them the spot we USED TO LOVE. Please, do not ever go there. You're better off at IHOP, at least they treat you like you matter & they WANT your business. Walked right over to them after this & had NO problem getting service.Never spending another dime! YES WE LIVE ON OAHU & HAVE FOR YEARS. The owner is now insulting our intelligence & calling us liars. DISGUSTING. BUSINESS. PERIOD. read more

HO! If you like bread.... Get it! Stand in line in the sun and soak up dat vitamin D. Check their website for times and locations. Huge loaf with your favorite filling right down the middle.

GMonkey prefer UBE and CINNAMON BUTTER but also have: STRAWBERRY GUAVA BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE COOKIES & CREAM depending on their monthly schedule $8-15 each.

Their bread used to be really good like soft and chewy type good. Not sure what happened but it seems like the way they bake their bread has changed, it's more dry and flaky on the inside. I thought ok maybe this batch is just a "bad batch" so I gave it another try went back another week to get more, again bread was very dry. I told myself, I don't think I want to try it again. Months came and I decided let me try again, again their bread was dry! I've come to the realization that this is how their product is just is! I honestly miss how it was a couple years ago very chewy and enjoyable to eat. The filling is still good but they don't put as much in the bread as before. I get it they're probably more busy now which is probably why they lack the quality of their bread these days. I hope they take this as an eye opener. read more

Found this as a recommended shop on Yelp. Truly enjoyed the freshness and softness of this bread. The filling was a perk. I ordered it on grubhub and picked it up shortly after. I picked it up at the industrial warehouse and not the food truck. I ordered the haupia and the cinnamon & butter flavors and was so excited to try it I immediately dug into it in the car. Would love to toast these also and try them. Will be back and don't worry- I'll tell all my friends too! Molokai Hot Breads was posted on a site I follow on ig and didn't give it a second thought till more suggestions came up! Thanks Molokai Hot Breads-onolicious! read more

So excited that I finally got to try the bread! Ive been following them on social media and was looking forward to the ube cheesecake flavor and also tried the strawberries & cream. I tried some in the car after I purchased their bread and immediately had to go back to buy extra ube cheesecake flavor to pack and bring back to the mainland! Can't wait to come back and try other flavors! No picture because everybody else loved it and was devoured quickly! read more

Cravings satisfied!!! Saw ads all over social media, looked their IG up and followed. They have their schedule on their Instagram. I know for sure Sunday is at Pearlridge. Decided to swing by on my way home from work and pick up, blueberry creamcheese, strawberry creamcheese, cookies and cream cheese and ube creamcheese . Sooooo delicious. What you ask for is what you get. The bread is soft and they fill it up sooo much that you have the perfect amount of bread and filling ratio! I thought I was gona have more bread than filling and be disappointed but NOPE NOT HERE! On top of selling yummy cream cheese filled flavored bread. They also have amazing customer service. I felt welcomed at a food truck and I felt happy to be leaving with all my bread. They greeted me, thanked me for coming by, made small talk and shared advice on the bread, heres 2 tips I learned. Store bread in freezer for up to 4 months. Also, keep cookies and cream cheese in freezer for an hour or so and eat it. Taste like cookies and cream icecream sandwhich. I tried it and it did!! Give it a try! You won't be disappointed! read more

Delicious. Worth flying to Honolulu for. The Cream Cheese Cinnamon is the best. I can eat a whole loaf.

Contrary to the name, these breads did not come hot LOL but they were super good. so good that my mum ate more than half of the breads while i was at work during the week LOL The ube one is very creamy and actually tastes like ube, which took me by surprise given that many ube desserts here lack flavor. The strawberry one has generous portions of strawberry jam and cream cheese (which can be a little messy to eat but so worth it) My favorite was the cinnamon butter, which was generous with the butter (without being gross haha) and cinnamon, and reminded me of the cinnamon bread from Great Harvest Co. Each of the breads were $10. They recently started accepting EBT. Be sure to check out their daily schedule on their website to see where they'll be! read more

First off you can not get the bread on the main land ! But I hear it's coming to the Bay Area !! I missed out on getting this last time I was out here so this was top of my list ! I found the truck in Pearl city and I hurried up to the window to put in my bread order ! Of course I had to try every single one I could. Lilikoi, guava, ube ! I cracked open the lilikoi and the other 2 are in the freezer preparing for my trip home. The bread is fresh soft and large. The filling is cream cheese like, soft not over sweet spread in the middle so every slice has a nice smear to make me hum as I take each bite. I was so looking forward to this so I'm so happy I finally got to try. This bread is a winner ! Can't wait for them to pop up in the bay ! This has to be part of the foodie checklist for O'ahu ! read more

Look no further for some ONOlicious BREAD Y'ALL!! This bread is out of this world good, such pillowly goodness with special fillings inside. I got the Strawberry and Blueberry fillings, and I did not regret my decision. Both were so yummy! I can't wait to try different flavors. I ended up coming late, so I didn't get a chance to try their new flavors of the month: Peanut butter chocolate chip, haupia, and Ube cheesecake. They change their flavors every month so you deformity gotta get check out their Instagram for more information. They are at a different location around Oahu everyday, follow them for updates on Instagram @molokaihotbreadohau . I happened to be free today so I went to the Hawaii Kai location at the Kamilo'iki Community Park. I ended up messaging them on Instagram to see if they still had bread available and they responded quickly. Grey truck that is really easy to spot! I parked inside the parking lot right in front of the truck. read more

Molokai Hot bread is not served Hot but it's delicious regardless. I think what they mean by "Hot" is like "lit, fire, or Hot right now on the market" kinda Hot! and I'm sure if you warm it up it will make it even 10x better. So this past Sunday I've finally came across their truck and have been wanting to try so I stopped by. OMG their bread is Amaze balls! Bread is soft and filled with so much goodness, I had to go back for more today. First time we got their Banana Mac nut cream cheese and that was delish. Today we got their Cinnamon cream cheese and Peanut butter chocolate chip, both were also really delish! I'm addicted. Worth the carbs intake seriously! Lol. I've checked their location and times and on Sunday's they are parked at the Pearlridge location (right in front of American savings bank), on Friday's they are at Waikele (next to Dicks Lechon food truck) starting at 1pm! Go and stop by and get some peep's you won't regret it. read more

Been craving their delicious hot bread since I went to the original on Molokai in 2019. I've been following their IG for awhile and was overjoyed to find out they come to my area twice a month. Definitely recommend following them to see their daily locations and monthly flavors! Got the Blueberry and Cream Cheese Hot Bread to share with myself and friends. Everything on their menu is so tempting and I can't wait to find their truck again to try their featured flavors. The truck was super easy to spot. The guy working there was kind and there was no line! read more

Wow!! I am so happy the time I visited their special of the month was ube. If you've been following me and reading my reviews you know I am such a fan of ube.

They are around the island at different days. read more

Always wanted to come back to this truck but however it doesn't come closer to my location. So I need to drive towards pearlridge shopping center to go buy a loaf of bread. They used to be in certain areas in the island but they changed it. But overall will try and go to their area or their bakery. read more

Randomly drove by the truck on Renton Road and decided to get some as gifts. I got blueberry/cream cheese, and a Cinnamon/butter. I don't eat bread so didn't matter to me but I knew hubby would love the blueberry one. We ended up splitting the loaves up to give 2 flavors to my inlaws. I tasted the Cinnamon one and it tasted fresh. However, it didn't taste like real butter imo (more like crisco). My husband said the blueberry one was really good. As far as the bread itself, I don't really see what the rage is. It is like a really big hamburger bun, just your average Joe white bread. I was expecting a flour-dusted crunchy top sourdough type of bread. Like the o.g. Molokai okole bread. Anyhow it was nice to try and fun flavors. read more

I was driving home and there they were, parked on the side of the road, a few block from my house. Normally I avoid slamming on the brakes unless it's absolutely necessary. Shoot, smooth braking is easier on the neck and car suspension. This was absolutely necessary. If you are local, you know. Kanemitsu Bakery's late night business-within-a-business of fresh hand made bread served very warm and slathered with some combination of butter, cream cheese, cinnamon sugar, strawberry or blueberry jam, or (preferred) with everything, is uniquely Molokai. And here was their food truck - Molokai Hot Bread - right in my neighborhood. People were walking away with big bags of fresh pillowy loaves. In less than an hour, no more plain loaf. All that was left was cream cheese strawberry, cinnamon sugar with butter, or a combination of both. No problem. Taking a friendly suggestion from the server, I happily drove home with a loaf of cream cheese strawberry. A thick wedge warmed up in the microwave with a glass of lemonade. Happy, happy, happy. Thank you George Kanemitsu. read more

Someone gave us Molokai Bread for us to try unexpectedly. I've seen there trucks but they were always sold out. I honestly don't try very hard when it's a food truck and have to stand in a line. I also know that I'm missing out on something good. I imagined Molokai bread would be sweet bread tasting for some reason like King's sweet bread. Molokai bread is half sweet bread and soft sourdough bread like put together with whatever filling you want. Unfortunately it was in a fridge before it got to us so it wasn't totally fresh. We were given one with strawberry and cream cheese and one with ube. Both were very light in a soft, sourdough bread. I hope to catch the truck one day and try them again when they're fresh. read more
