Molokai Hot Bread - Kaunakakai, Molokai This was my second time visiting Molokai Hot Bread, and it absolutely did not disappoint. I once again ordered my favorite--cream cheese cinnamon--and it was so delicious. The bread is always fresh, soft, and perfectly warm, with just the right balance of sweetness and creaminess. Beyond the food, the experience itself was great. The worker was very kind and welcoming, which makes a big difference and really adds to the charm of this local spot. Molokai Hot Bread continues to be a must-stop whenever I'm on island. Simple, comforting, and consistently good--highly recommend! read more

Loved that Aunties here, they were so sweet. The bread was so delicious & fresh. I got the Cinnamon with cream cheese, the Ube with cream cheese & I think it was peaches or something but that was good too. read more

Order hot bread only after 7:30. But we arrived early (about 7:15), and the window was open! We ordered our stash to bring back to Maui. It's reputation is great! Bread was fresh and so ONO! We got cinnamon, butter, cream cheese flavor for our friends and family. Plain for my husband. All G read more

This really is the most quintessentially Molokai experience on the island. Wait until it's dark, and everything's closed. Then you'll take a turn down an alley to come to what used to be a pretty sketchy window. They have cleaned it up, thankfully. There will be a line of other people waiting for the hot bread. So you place your order and wait. There's one dish: hot bread. Pick one out more or all the toppings. Things like blueberry, cream cheese or cinnamon sugar. We picked strawberry, guava and butter. It was a good choice. I wish we had ordered taro for the real Hawaiian flavor. We finally got it, and it was pretty okay. It wasn't hot. It wasn't totally yummy. But it was the most Molokai thing you can experience on Molokai. And for that, we are grateful. read more

Our first time to Molokai hot bread won't be our last. We went after dinner on a Tuesday, which was pretty early in the evening. The surrounding area was like a ghost town, not a car or person in sight. We parked in front of the bakery and went down the alley until we saw the lights. There are a few tables and chairs so you can eat your hot bread on the spot if you like. We took ours home, a plain loaf and one filled with strawberry and cream cheese. They were amazing. Super light fluffy bread and tasty fillings. read more

Cinnamon cream cheese is always a must when traveling to Moloka'i. I'm quite surprised to see only one other review done. I'm sure everyone knows about this place. I remember as a little girl we had to come down at midnight through a sketchy alley to pick it up. They open at about 7pm now. You can pre order and pick up in the next morning or walk in. There are a bunch of tables and everyone around seems to respect the 6 foot distance rule. Since everyone is scattered and resting on the bench, just ask who you're after. It's a one woman operation. Please be kind and patient with her. Note that if you pick it up at night, the bread will be stacked in a paper bag. Aunty does not put it in a plastic bag due to the plastic bag ban. Just make sure you have gallon Ziploc bags to store them. Aside from my favorite cinnamon cream cheese, we picked up the guava cc, strawberry cc, and plain bread. Strawberry cream cheese is my next favorite. My grandma requested I pick up the Ube flavor but the she said maybe next month..bummers.. read more

The cinnamon cream cheese is my favorite. It's like a cinnamon roll! Also, this is no longer the best kept secret so be prepared to wait and be patient. It's worth it, I promise! read more

Yummy warm bread only served at night. But extra to make French toast the next morning! Not to miss out on a unique Molokai experience

The place is historic, beloved, an iconic and a little creepy. Like a horror movie... zombies eating $14 ham n egg breakfast in the dark ... open the windows .. they have breads and pastries ... should make $1 jelly donuts.. and have $2 Molokai coffee and open the windows.. it always looks closed... how many years this place and they try to make it better they dont paint it or make it inviting .. no flowers .. great food and service but no credit cards or apple pay ... it doesnt take much to improve ... no imagination, not fun ... just open the windows - have sidewalk breakfast in the sun instead of $17 locomoco in a cave... read more

This place is an absolute must. We arrived at 7:30 when they opened. The bread was hot and delicious. We ordered one cinnamon, cream cheese, and butter. And, one cream cheese, and blueberry. It was way more food than we could eat but we wanted to try both of them. One loaf could feed an entire family. The ladies helping us were very friendly. One would never expect that this place exists down a dark alley. Its there....find it!!! read more

Molokai Hot Bread is in the back alley way next to the bakery in the town center. It is an unique experience, getting your bread, at night, at a takeout window, packed in a grocery paper bag. It is hot, fresh, sweet and buttery. It taste good, but stayaway if you are a health nut, or make an exception if you landed on Molokai. Not much going on here, and Molokai Hot Bread is one of the few things that are unique and worth a try. read more

This was truly and experience so a must do if you are on Molokai, partially as it's one thing you can do right after sunset. Enter through the back alley there is an opening to a dimly lit alley. You'll see a simple counter wher "auntie" will take your order. I recommend one maybe two loaves as the are huge!!! Most popular flavor is cinnamon, butter and cream cheese. read more

Park on Ala Malala Ave. and walk down hotel lane and it's about 2-3 minutes down the road on the left. Extremely fresh and delicious! The woman making the bread was so friendly and had great suggestions. We had the ube and cream cheese and cinnamon and butter and it did not disappoint. Definitely recommend and will be back! read more

Yes, it is true there are Molokai Hot Bread location stops throughout Oahu on certain days of the week, but nothing ultimately beats getting the hot bread from the main location on Molokai itself behind Kanemitsu's Bakery & Coffee Shop on select evenings after 7:30 PM. It's cash only, plus they do charge a 25 cent fee for paper bags. read more

Left review on Kanemitsu's page. Only attraction on Molokai since Kalaupapa is closed to public. read more

We were visiting Molokai because that's what the signs in people's front yard said to do. We were told we had to visit this spot. Growing up in LA I was totally sketched out walking down the dark alley, and when I rounded the corner it was families just waiting for the most amazing fresh stuffed bread. Cinnamon butter and cream was our favorite. Molokai is our favorite island because you feel like you're disconnected from the rest of the U.S. read more

A must try experience! Pay attention to the hours!!! It's in the heart of town, in the back if a building/home. read more

I always look forward to this experience. Although this time the woman was not very friendly. Seems to be a theme this time around visiting Molokai. The bread however, amazing! We got the strawberry and cream cheese filling to split. Very big portion! Cash only and window opens at 7:30 on except Mondays. read more

So fun! Highly recommend this when you're in Molokai. Definitely try the cream cheese and cinnamon, but guava with cream cheese was also excellent. They are huge so it takes at least two people for 1 loaf. We ate two loaves for 4 people and we still couldn't finish it all. Worth the trip, and get there early when they open at 7:30pm. read more

Loved this experience. It's very expensive for a loaf of bread with toppings right out of a 5 gallon bucket but, the locals tell us it's a "Molokai experience" and that it used to be more unique before with a hole in a old door to order in a dark hallway with 1 flickering 60watt lightbulb. Go with some locals and it will be a better experience. Get ready to spend $50 on 4 loaves of bread read more

I came back after seven years. So happy they still serve the hot bread down the dark alley. We ordered the cinnamon butter cream cheese. It was so delicious! read more

Oh my goodness! You will be addicted at first bite! It looks a little sketchy to go down the alley but trust me, you won't be disappointed. Definitely try all the flavors. Our favorites were cinnamon and cream cheese, blueberry and cream cheese and guava and cream cheese. Hot and delicious! Even good heated up the next day. read more

A must do! Go at 7-10pm to try the infamous hot bread. Park up and walk around the back of the bakery, cash only.
