It has chocolate ( a fairly high percentage of cacao ) on the middle. I had a crab...it also had choco eyes. Also, asked for a Long John and it was the best one that I've ever had. Older woman who helped me is super nice...I guess her husband works in the back of the house, exclusively. No two customer rule inside the store on this day. Cash only.

We stopped by Nene Goose Bakery on a Saturday around 9:30am. There was a small line outside, and…read morethey only allow one party in at a time, so things move steadily but not quickly. They're open from 6am-1pm, and by the time we got there, a few items we wanted to try were already sold out. If you have your heart set on something specific, definitely come early. Cash only!! One of the sweetest parts of the experience was the owner -- a sweet older lady who takes your order herself and carefully packages everything up for you. It feels very personal and old-school in the best way. Here's what we tried: Long John - The star of the show. It's served chilled and doesn't look like your typical long john. The donut itself was light, pillowy, and slightly crispy. The texture contrast was perfect. We'd honestly come back just for this. Mochi An Pan - Really good. The mochi had that satisfying chew, the red bean wasn't overly sweet, and the bread was soft and fresh. Mushroom & Onion - Savory and comforting. The cream sauce was flavorful and paired well with the soft bread Ham & Cream Cheese - This one was a bit too dense for us, likely because of the cream cheese topping. Not bad, just heavier than we prefer. Parking is easy and plentiful since it's in the same lot as the movie theater. Overall, such a cute local bakery, make sure to come early, bring cash, and don't skip the long john.

Aloha Patrick, Thank…read moreyou for the quick and thoughtful response. I really appreciate you taking the time to look into what happened and speak with your team member. I also appreciate the immediate reimbursement for the cookie charge. Mistakes happen, and it's good to know you took care of it.

Mahalo again for taking our feedback seriously and for reaching out.

I had a classic breakfast sandwich which consisted of their own baked bread, eggs, cheese, tomatoes, and bacon with their garlic herb butter. It's cooked panini style or looks more like a fancy grilled cheese sandwich. It was very good. I usually have tomatoes with a lunch sandwich so having tomatoes in a breakfast sandwich was different. But, the combination of all the ingredients was delicious. The tomatoes were firm and not soggy, the bacon was just right crispy, and the cheese melted nicely onto the eggs. Overall all, a sandwich worth getting if I was in the area again.

I've been wanting to come here for months! I finally had the opportunity to! I'm so happy I did!…read moreThere 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!!!

I needed to occupy myself after I dropped hubs off for his first cataract surgery…read more 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.

I finally managed to stop by this place and am in love with all the delicious offerings in a cute…read moreand homely place. The owner is so friendly and helpful and her passion for what she does and what she crafts is obvious from the first few minutes you enter. There's a variety of sourdough, breads, shortcake cookies, chocolate chip, ulu and oatmeal cookies, and of course, cupcakes galore! What I didn't realize is, she also has a whole bunch of homemade jams and jellies, and you can taste whichever variety you want. The jellies and jams were my absolute favorite. I bought a spicy mango chutney. She has drinks as well as homemade goodies in the refrigerated section. Mountain apple pie, homemade pesto, and even eggs that her chickens laid! Parking is down a lane off the street and you park right in front of her house/ store. A nice place to buy gifts, treat yo'self and support local.

Great customer service. The best sourdough ever!…read more The shop is so well decorated that you'd expect to see it in a Disney movie. We enjoyed the freshly baked sourdough bread and tasted some jam. We will make it a weekly stop to try everything they bake. The owners operate a well appointed bakery and jam shop and are super nice to talk with.

The curry was alright. The prices are great, I felt like they deserved to make what they were charging. There is plenty of parking. This is a bakery so you can just take a pastry to go or you can wait to sit down at the counter and order food to eat there. I'd definitely recommend doing both. If you go during off times you'll have a better chance of not needing to wait for a seat. Come here for the pancakes!!

I needed coffee as well so I got a large iced americano with whole milk and it was unexpectedly good, at least for me, it was strong and flavorful. I love chocolate and didn't like the dobash flavor.

I had some great pics but lost them when my phone broke. Mahalo and Aloha!! Chelle

If you think you've had malasadas before, this one in Kailua will make you rethink your…read moreassumptions--and maybe your topology. Instead of the usual solid sphere situation, this malasada is a torus, complete with a legitimate central hole. It's not just aesthetic; it's deliciously functional. More surface area means more outer crunch, and the math checks out. Fresh out of the fryer, the increased perimeter-to-volume ratio delivers maximum Maillard reaction per bite. The exterior achieves a near-perfect golden-brown crisp, while the interior remains chewy and toothsome--soft, elastic, and deeply satisfying. It's a beautiful example of form following function, where geometry directly improves flavor. Eat it hot. Like, immediately hot. Any delay introduces unnecessary variables into an otherwise elegant equation. This is malasada topology at its finest: crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and proof that sometimes the hole really does make the donut better.

Baked goods at the Kailua Town Farmer's Market…read more.. Open every Sunday morning from 8am to noon, I've watched Baker Dude for the past few weeks. The lines for fresh pastries was always long... This week, I decided to get in line early! I know that Baker Dudes has a shop on Alakea Street. The parking in downtown Honolulu isn't the best, so, I avoid the area. That's why i chose to patronize Baker Dude at the Kailua Town Farmer's Market! There's lots of street parking around the Pali Lanes area in Kailua. If you park in a metered stall, parking on Sundays is free anyway! I usually park in the free covered garage in front of Longs Drug Store. Enter from Kailua Road. If you have a good sense of smell, you'll find Baker Dude when you follow your nose. The fresh aroma of pastries will lead you to the stall. There were a few customers in line already. SERVICE: The guy was really hustling by fielding questions about ingredients - he was amazingly knowledgeable - while gently packaging goodies. The female worker was tending to a goose in a stoller! I kid you not! It was quite amusing! When she was done with making the goose comfy, she cleaned her hands and donned gloves. She was as efficient and friendly as the male worker! I limited myself to two items: the Blueberry Lilikoi Cinnamon Roll and the Apple Turnover. I'm so glad that I devoured them at home because they were so flakey and I was making a mess! I probably was emitting strange noises with each bite and attempting to contain my drooling! Gosh! LOL! Anyway, if you want some high quality baked goods, I would suggest that you give Baker Dude a try. If you work in downtown, stop by at the shop. If not, the Sunday morning Kailua Town Farmer's Market is a great shopping experience! I'll be back for some scones, cookies, and bread!
