I've been wanting to come here for months! I finally had the opportunity to! I'm so happy I did! There was so much to choose from-pastries and drinks! My hubby missed out! Great excuse to go again! There was a line, but it moved quickly. You could tell which items were popular cuz their spot was empty. However, they were quickly replaced. Everything was delicious!!! I did bring some items to share with coworkers. I bought my breakfast and lunch from this quaint bakery. It took me back to my visit to Japan! Loved it! Will definitely be back!!! read more

I needed to occupy myself after I dropped hubs off for his first cataract surgery. After doing some retail therapy at NR I had half an hour to spare. Hubs had to fast from 6 am for his 2 pm surgery so I thought he would probably be starving and would enjoy a delectable salt and butter roll from here. At $4.50 a piece I consider this a luxury for us. I found a close stall in the parking structure. A very cheerful polite male employee took my order. I had seen two occupied tables as I walked into the shop. Both had matcha drinks. Why not? I asked the young man assisting me, what's the best matcha drink? He said his favorite was banana matcha with extra banana foam. Okay I'll try it. He repeated it to the cashier. So popular there was a wait for beverages to be prepared. Soon enough mine was ready. I think Doc would enjoy this drink. This shop is a working bakery. Many yummy pastries displayed. Menu is posted high up above to choose from. Rather tiny shop with room for customers to stand in line to order and wait for drinks. Clean, busy with a few tables and chairs outside but pretty much in direct sun. read more

one thing about me, imma have a matcha! Anytime, any day! The banana matcha is a top seller but I also love the rose matcha! I recently went and decided to branch out and try the taro latte and that was 100/10!! Definitely a new favorite. As for the baked goods, I am obsessed with their salt and butter rolls, red bean rolls and their japanini! I am a student nearby and try to get some during lunch or for breakfast but the only downside is they are always SO BUSY! (i mean good for them but man i hate waiting in the hot sun for 20 mins) other than that I really do like this bakery and cafe! read more

I've tried Okayama Kobo before because someone has dropped it off to us, but this was my first time going to the shop and trying it fresh. The bakery smelled really good, so it was hard to not want to buy everything! But I ended up getting the salt bread and classic sunrise. The salt bread is so perfect. It has the perfect light texture with the right amount of salt and butter. I liked the crust of the classic sunrise. Both items were delicious. There was a line when I came on a Friday at noon, but it moves fairly quickly. There is ample parking in the Whole Foods/Theater parking nearby. There were some tables outside to enjoy your food, but the inside of the shop is fairly small. This is the perfect spot if you're looking to pick up pastries! read more

Cute Japanese bakery and coffee shop in the old little corner Starbucks location next to Ward theater. Kobo bear pan (fan favorite with the kids), matcha mochi pan, and curry pan were all delicious. Lots of selection of fresh breads and pastries to choose from. Mocha latte was also on point! We will definitely be back. Parking in the ward theater parking structure. read more

It took me a while to get to this bakery because of the insane line every day, but finally did and it's totally worth it! The pastries themselves are known for using Hokkaido bread, giving a distinct, fluffy texture and ranging from savory to sweet treats. I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious and incredibly affordable matcha latte menu, which came iced and in large sizes under $7 unlike counterpart cafes. My grandfather and I had a white bean bun, curry pan, and chocolate emoji pastry. All were distinctly different and not too sweet, which is definitely my brand of baked good. Don't be in a rush if you decide to brave the line, and definitely order more than one item! The workers are efficient and the only additional downside is that each pastry individually ranges from $3-5. read more

I went to this bakery near Whole Foods and tried out some of the Japanese bakery items. I got the salt and butter roll and the Japanini. The salt and butter roll was fresh and chewy with a soft hint of butter inside. The mini panini had bacon, tomato, cheese and pesto. It was good too. Too bad, the bakery didn't have tables inside. It was more of a takeout place. However, the bakery did have a few tables outside surrounding it. read more

We visited Okayama Kobo during their Cinnamoroll collaboration and wow, it was busy! The bakery line was pretty long, but it moved much faster than the merchandise line. We picked up a variety of pastries, including a few matcha breads, the chocolate emoji bread, bacon onion bread, and the Cinnamoroll blueberry bread. My boyfriend mainly had the matcha breads and his favorite was the matcha mochi an-pan. I tried some as well and really enjoyed the combination of red bean paste and chewy mochi filling. The chocolate emoji bread was so cute, but flavor-wise it was simply bread with dark chocolate inside. It was good, but nothing memorable. The bacon onion bread was probably my favorite, it was savory, flavorful, and satisfying. I also enjoyed the Cinnamoroll blueberry bread. The blue sprinkles made it extra cute, and the blueberry custard filling was yummy. For drinks, we ordered the Cinnamoroll blueberry iced tea lemonade and the blueberry white chocolate cold brew. Unfortunately, neither drink had much blueberry flavor. The iced tea lemonade tasted more like a classic Arnold Palmer, while the cold brew was a bit too sweet for my taste and wasn't my favorite overall. While the bakery items were good, they didn't completely wow me. That said, the Cinnamoroll collaboration was adorable and made for a fun experience. read more

You can't help but notice the line. Staying directly across the street from the bakery gave me a front-row seat to its daily ritual. Every morning, without fail, people gathered outside waiting patiently for pastries. No flashy signs. No gimmicks. Just quiet consistency. That alone intrigued me. By the second day, my mind was made up. I'm an early riser, so the plan was simple: go on my usual morning run and arrive before the rush. Japanese culture and craftsmanship have long fascinated me. Through close friends with family roots tracing back to Japan, I've developed a deep appreciation for the culture -- the discipline, the rituals, the precision, and the respect for process. There's a beauty in the intentional pace at which things are done. Nothing rushed. Nothing careless. This bakery embodied that philosophy perfectly. The space itself was small, modest, and aromatic. No overdesigned interiors. No influencer bait. Just the comforting smell of fresh bread and butter hanging in the air. Some bakeries hide behind elaborate architecture and presentation, but this place understood something more important: when the product is exceptional, the product becomes the attraction. The pastries ranged from playful and charming to elegant and refined. The Salt & Butter bread was an instant staple -- savory, warm, and impossibly light. The dough practically dissolved like air. Thankfully, nothing felt overly heavy, because I completely lost control of my ordering strategy. The Kobo Kuma -- a soft bear-shaped bun filled with homemade vanilla bean custard -- was perfection. Equal parts cute and comforting. The Cinnamon Roll was solid, but the Haupia pastry completely stole the show. For those unfamiliar, Haupia is a traditional Hawaiian coconut pudding found throughout Polynesia. The flavor here was subtle yet lingering, delicate without disappearing. The kind of flavor that quietly stays with you long after the last bite. Then came the Blueberry Danish -- beautiful, buttery, and perfectly sweet. I didn't even make it to the savory options this time, which honestly just gives me another reason to return. And I absolutely will -- whether back here in Hawaii or perhaps at one of their mainland locations in Los Angeles. Some places become popular because of hype. Others because of quality. This bakery earned its line. read more

Apologies for another late review. Better late than never. When Okayama Kobo Bakery and Cafe (OKB) opened in November 2023, there was a lot of buzz around town and they were under my radar but didn't make my over to the Ward Village area until April 2025, when there was an Elite event where you could redeem perks and pick up your swag. The experience was amazing where I had to go back for more. OKB is a popular Japanese bakery originated from Okayama Prefecture in 1986 where they boast using 100% Hokkaido wheat flour in its products. They have over 200 locations throughout Japan and have expanded overseas to several locations in Southern California and Hawaii. With so much excitement about this Japanese bakery, I picked up an assortment of both savory and sweet items to let my family sample. Favorite niece by default had previously tried here so she was thrilled when I showed up with a box of goodies. What we sampled at OKB lived up to the hype. The winners were salt and butter roll, strawberry milk cream croissant and the oyaki. Counter staff are cordial and you can witness their assembly line as their bakers are in the background working diligently. Lots of parking in the adjacent building so a big plus. However, early bird gets the worm. Come late and get punished with a limited selection of goodies. OKB is a great addition to Honolulu with such delicious baked products. A great place to grab baked goodies without traveling to Japan. read more

Delicious bread, matcha, and red bean breads! Japanese style bakery. Sells out often, so go early in the day. Try their salt butter rolls, sunrise bread, and matcha bread! They also have hot breads, sausage rolls, and croquets. Matcha and cold brew are really nice flavors. Free parking in the garage next door. Often a line as the shop is small. The line moves relatively quickly. Merchandise is also adorable. Bread is made fresh here. Outdoor seating only. Take your stuff to go! read more

5/5 for taste. 0/5 for possible food safety reasons. The matcha latte is pretty good as well as the baked goods. Theres always a long line. The only issue I have is that one time, there was a fly that landed on one of the bread. I notified the women. The women shooed the fly away but did not throw that bread away. Flies lands on decaying things/poop, which has bacteria that will stay on the fly, and the fly lands on the products, the bacteria can contaminate the products and make people really sick. She just continued on like nothing happened. I should have taken a picture. But someone next in line to me also saw it. 5/5 when it comes to taste 0/5 for food safety. Concerning what happens behind the scenes... read more

I came in not expecting much and ended up completely obsessed. The cookie butter salt bread was unreal--crispy on the outside, soft and buttery on the inside, with that rich cookie butter flavor that's perfectly balanced with a hint of salt. The Japanese sausage pastry was equally delicious--fluffy, slightly sweet bread wrapped around a savory, juicy sausage. Sweet and savory done right. I also tried the matcha coffee, and it was smooth, earthy, and just the right amount of creamy. It pairs perfectly with any of the pastries and rounds out the experience beautifully. Everything tasted fresh, well-made, and honestly kind of addictive. Definitely one of those spots where you go in for one item and end up wanting to try everything. read more

YES i came back for my daily bread and to try matcha! banana matcha was okay, on the sweeter side. they use monin syrups instead of real banana though as a heads up! salt bread: original - I LOVE YOU nothing more needs to be said 10/10 cookie - sweet and salty! tastes like malaysian rotiboy. could also be compared to cantonese pineapple bun or mexican concha. basically a sweet crackly crust on top of another crackly (butter) crust. 9/10 sesame - YUM but couldn't really taste the sesame. maybe bring the flavor out more by infusing the butter pad inside with sesame??? 8/10 red bean - YUM i love red bean. however it wasn't as buttery or crackly as the others. 8/10 overall would just get a bunch of original and cookie salt bread and skip the matcha! read more

I've had Okayama Kobo in SoCal and was surprised to find one in Honolulu! They were still doing the Cinnamoroll collab here in May and all the pastries were the same. I ordered the banana cream matcha latte which is incredible. The banana cold foam is thick and tasty. I also tried a bite of their spicy curry bread which was very spicy, like 7/10 spice level. Such a cute spot to grab a quick bite and drink. read more

This place felt magical, with so many amazing Japanese bakery items that you absolutely have to try. They offer both sweet and savory breads, along with matcha lattes and other drinks. Service was on the slower side, which created a long waiting line. The inside isn't very spacious. You order as you walk in and pick out the items you want. We went around noon, and some items were already sold out, there was a wait for the second batch to come out. The cookie butter bread was delicious. So chewy and soft. We also got the hot dog bread and the fish fillet panini, which were both very tasty. The strawberry matcha latte could have been better, but I really liked the strawberry cream on top. read more

Late to the party again (I hate waiting in long lines) and this time regretting it. Finally, real, authentic, Japanese baked goods. Flaky yet chewy and moist when they are supposed to be (croissants), fresh, fluffy, and chewy when not. Sweetness is always well controlled ie 1/5th of American standards. No complaints on any sweet item. The red bean salt and butter roll, outstanding balance where the salt actually enhances the gentle sweet flavor of the azuki. The "kobo kuma", so good. Kawai AF. Excellent real vanilla flavors the delectable creamy custard within. Outstanding cinnamon roll where the cream cheese topping actually adds a sour foil to the gently sweet cinnamon sugar within. Very agreeable, veggie filled, well fried curry pan. Go early and yes, wait in a 20+ minute line for the best selection. Online ordering a plus but limited to five items and you still need to wait in line. Frenetic service with so many staff moving around it makes you tired. Be sure to scan the QR for the menu while waiting and know what to order when it's your turn. Easily the best Japanese bread bakery on the island. read more

Finally got a chance to check out all this Hype on this fairly new bakery . Okayama Kobo Bakery well it is definitely trending of course because no matter what day or time there's always a line . I ordered their Curry Pan also their Salt and butter roll w/everything on it. The curry pan was a little salty although it was stuffed very generous compared to most places . The Salt and butter roll was very good soft moist and had a lot of flavor . Next time I'll probably try their drinks and some of their other pastries looked very good .This bakery is a very small space so you'll enter one door then place your order then you'll follow the line to the cashiers . Than you'll exit the other door . Service is very friendly and efficient. Free parking inside the Ward theater garage . read more

I love salt bread and have been wanting to come here for awhile but didn't want to wait in the long line. I came around 8:45am on a weekday and it was crowded inside but the line moved fast. It looks unassuming on the outside but inside it's packed with people and all types of pastries with a delicious Japanese twist. The salt rolls were a little paler than I expected, with a slight crunch and held a bite of gooey butter inside. I couldn't resist getting these cute bear pastries for my son, mentai salt bread husband and a fried fish sandwich pastry for my British FIL. Generally the staff were quite friendly except for the barista. So far, the coffee drinks are 0 for 2, the attitude even more bitter than the burnt espresso. We never know what someone is going through, maybe it was an off day for him. I was curious to try the sliced bread sometime, it's available after 12:30pm and they can preorder for you. Maybe if I happen to be in this area again at this time. There are a lot of comparable Asian patisseries and delicious places for bread on the island (Brug, breadshop, Paris Baguette, Tous les Jours). The parking is free inside the movie theater parking. Anyone with night blindness, please be prepared. read more

10/10, SO GOOD! I'll be coming back (: I just finished lunch in the area and was searching for a good matcha spot. I haven't been home for a while, so I don't know what's around. Came across this place when searching on yelp. Once I got there, there was a line and I knew that was a good sign. I saw a sign saying they use 100% hokkaido flour from Japan (?)... so, although I was just looking for a matcha drink, I decided to try a couple pastries. I tried their salt & butter bread + a pastry that was filled with vanilla bean custard. IT WAS SO GOOD AND SO SOFT! I also got their banana matcha-- BOMB! I like how the banana foam isn't too much banana. It was a good balance. Service was quick! You just tell them what you want and everything came out quickly despite the long line I walked up to. It was a cute tiny bakery. Nothing crazy. Will definitely be a returning customer (: read more

Always love coming here for an assortment of their bakery items!! Highly recommend getting there early so they have everything available and if you are wanting to sit there to enjoy your goods. This bakery is a bit small, but it is always organized & clean! Staff is always so friendly and helpful. They have multiple members gathering orders, one at the register and one making drinks from what I have seen. This makes the process always seem easy & very quick! So if there is a line, don't let this discourage you because it moves quickly!! Parking is also free, within walking distance, and multiple garages in the area so plenty of spaces. That is a big bonus since finding parking seems to be hard in surrounding areas!! They have a large variety of baked goods, both sweet and savory. All are prepared fresh daily & throughout the day as they run out. The quality really is unmatched and the attention to detail is great. They offer something for everyone's preferences! I ALWAYS recommend getting there early! Outside seating is very limited and they fill up fast since the inside is quite small and there is no seating. They also run out of items quickly so the fresh batch may not be ready. read more

Yes, this is the place that you see below Ward theaters, with the long line outside on early mornings. Finally braved the line and got some pastries on 12/30/25. The line went quickly, but more importantly than that- the wait was justified. Since it was my first time here, I bought $55 worth of both sweet and savory pastries and none of them disappointed. I also bought the lavender drink, which was good; no complaints there. The Japan cream was of course fantastic. I'm always shocked when a bakery place does good savory pastries. And at this place, even more surprising given the selections of savory they had. I got the tuna one and the fried fish one. Both exceeded any expectation I had by a mile; especially the fried fish one. Super interesting and I would definitely get that one again. Along with the tuna one. I also got the Mentaiko one, but wasn't as impressed by it. When it comes to the sweet pastries, you absolutely cannot go wrong with any of them. They're fantastic. Some stand out more than the others. I would probably skip the croissants next time and go for the other pastries, such as the snowman one. The chocolate haupia one will forever be on my to get list. Looking forward to the next visit! read more

Okayama Kobo Bakery & Cafe - The chocolate haupia one...so good - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Okayama Kobo products are handmade using 100% Hokkaido flour (北海道小麦粉), crafted from additive- and preservative-free dough, and baked fresh daily with you in mind. Founded by Tsunetaka Kawakami (川上恒孝), this bakery's story is one of true grit and passion. Unable to afford a university education, Kawakami honed his craft by working tirelessly at small bakeries until his skill rivaled that of his mentors. He opened his first shop, Okayama Kobo Liaison (岡山工房リエゾン), followed by his second, Okayama Kobo Kunitomi (岡山工房國富). The success of both stores inspired Kawakami to launch a consulting business, which helped open over 200 bakery locations across Japan. There's a small line most of the time, but it moves quickly. TIP: This is a grab-and-go-only location, with just 1-2 outdoor tables if you'd like to sit and enjoy your treats. Food & Drinks: 4/5 - Salt & Butter Roll (塩バターロール) -- 4/5 Light, fluffy, and buttery with the perfect touch of salt. - Matcha Mochi An-Pan (抹茶もちあんパン) -- 4/5 Matcha-flavored bun filled with chewy mochi and chunky red bean paste. - Matcha Latte (抹茶ラテ) -- 4/5 NOTE: Premade in a pitcher, not whisked fresh. Premium matcha powder sweetened with vanilla and your choice of milk. Service: 4/5 Speedy, friendly staff who make the line move fast and keep the energy up. Parking: 5/5 Super easy with plenty of space in the old Dave & Buster's parking lot. read more

Okayama Kobo Bakery & Cafe makes the best salt & butter roll. They taste the best when it's warm and I was lucky enough to have gotten it fresh from the oven a couple of times. I recommend going before 10AM for the best selection of baked goods. Other items that I have enjoyed are the strawberry milk cream croissant and the yuzu citrus ade (drink). The shop is tiny and depending on the time of day, the line might be out the door. The staff are quick at taking the orders so the line moves fast. If you want to put your baked good in the Okayama Kobo box, there's a $2 charge for it. It's odd because I bought enough items to fill a box and I was till charged for it. Since then, I will now just tell the staff to put the items in a bag if they don't come in a plastic box. The items are reasonable priced and they use quality ingredients. They have outdoor seating but the tables and chairs are in the sun so it's better to walk over to South Shore Market and eat. For parking, I park in the garage for the movie theater. They are located at the corner of Kamakee and Auahi, next to Men's Warehouse in Ward Village. read more

I'm a new Okayama Kobo fan! It's located at the Ward Theaters where the old Starbucks used to be. Their drinks and their pastries are all so good. Don't worry about the line. There is no time that you'll go when there isn't a line. But the line moves fairly quickly. The only thing that takes a little longer is drinks. The pastries are split between sweet and savory. The first half is sweet and I personally was a huge fan of the french toast. The salt and butter breads are also classics. It sounds so simple, but it's actually so delicious! You must try one. The second half has more savory pastries including things like hot dog or yakisoba. For drinks, the matcha lattes are very popular. They have some varieties including a rose matcha latte or banana matcha latte. They are strong, so you don't have to worry about a diluted matcha. The pastries here are really fun to enjoy and I can't wait to try more! read more

DO IT! Walk through the doors of this quaint bakery and order 1 of everything and become enlightened. You won't stop asking yourself "How is this so good?" Because I haven't yet. But these people did it. They've formed heaven out of Japanese flour. My daughter's only words as she smiled and chewed were " I feel like I am eating a pillow!" And I couldn't agree more. A warm, soft, delectable pillow with a hint of salt. I swiftly got back in line after some quick debate and waited, slightly panicked that I may not be able to immediately live through this experience again. Fortune smiled upon me as I greedily purchased 8 more salt and butter rolls, 1 strawberry milk cream and 1 The Bacon. I hesitated The Bacon roll at first because it had mayo but after that first salt and butter roll I knew I could no longer say no to anything in this shop. I want to consume everything this bakery has to offer and I will. Take my money Okayama Kobo for you have already stolen my heart. read more

Such a cute bakery with so many fresh baked breads and pastries to choose from. They also have a huge made-to-order coffee and tea drink selection, which makes it the perfect little treat stop. I went during their Cinnamoroll collab and everything was adorable, from the cute packaging to the limited-time pastries, drinks, and merch. I tried the blueberry cold brew and loved that it wasn't overly sweet. Everything we tried was super soft, fresh, and delicious.

Arrived ten minutes after opening. Bam! Long queue of customers anticipating to get their hands on Japanese sweet and/or savory delectables. Two employees were cheerful, helpful and asked, "If I'd like to order any beverages today?" I politely declined as I had water in my vehicle. Line moved swiftly from selecting available sweet, savory and back to sweet goodness. Ideal for grab and go, dine outside on round tables or benches for breakfast, lunch and/or snack. Matcha Mochi An-pan: I was on cloud nine of tasting soft, round, baked matcha, center surrounded with mochi and azuki bean filling. Ichigo Daifuku: Huge strawberry on top of mochi, azuki bean on white, round, baked, pillowy confectionery. Fabulous! Stop by early for the best selection! Definitely recommend.
