    Wow! So good! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Something interesting about Hawaii is they don't care for too much about the aesthetic and interior design.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Upon walking in, you see a mom and pops with a weird table layout of their baked goods.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But actually eating it is such a different story! Great value for lots of yummy breakfast

    Donuts
    Lynn O.

    Lots of open parking fronting the building. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We went around 10am and there was only one other customer in there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Most of the dessert stands and the glass case were empty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A condiment, utensil, napkin, and water station is positioned on the side against the wall. The water container's ice had melted away. Little condensation remained outside the jug.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My husband asked the woman at the counter is they were making any more new donuts in the back. She said yes, walked to the back, and returned with a tray filled with a variety of donuts. I got s'mores flavor and he got a couple strawberry ones and something else. Unfortunately, I didn't love my donut. The glaze was too sweet for my liking and I'd prefer the graham crackers to be crumbed rather than big chunks. The chunk texture competed with the softness of the donut. The woman said the best time to come is at 5:30 am, when they have the full spread of options.

    Breakfast Popover with No Meat
    Nicole I.

    Got breakfast here during my stay in Hilo and I loved it! My husband and I shared the Breakfast Popover - it had so much flavor, we loved it! It was pretty big if you're not a huge breakfast eater, I would recommend splitting it. We also tried their puffs which were perfectly baked. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself had a lot of seating available and restrooms as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was also a lot of parking. Would definitely come back!

    Ube Scone, and Popover with Lilikoi Butter
    Charles L.

    The popover with Lilikoi butter was very good. The popover was light & airy and the lilikoi butter was sweet and paired well with the popover. The ube scone, which was nearly $5, was wildly dry and honestly tasted like it had been baked 2 or 3 days prior to sale.

    The selection of pastries was fantastic-hard to choose, for sure! We were glad to share a breakfast sandwich popover, no way I could have finished one by myself. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Friendly service, and plenty of seating inside & outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Typical breakfast place ambiance![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I was in the area so decided to walk on over for a quick dessert and it was so worth it! The lilikoi and coconut doughnut is the perfect amount of sweet and fruity. Wish I could get this flavor back home! Also, the lady behind the counter was extremely sweet. Love supporting small businesses; they 100% deserve more customers! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Note: you order at the counter and there's a lot of indoor seating to enjoy your sweets at![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Breakfast popover sandwich
    Macy H.

    If you're ever looking for a great place to grab a bite and a sweet treat, you should definitely stop by popover. The workers are always so friendly and helpful when I'm unsure what to get. I got the bbq chicken flatbread and it was HUGE. I could only eat a third of it and was stuffed! We also got a breakfast popover, which was also sooo ono and sooo filling! We went closer to closing time so the selection for desserts wasn't as full as usual, but we were still able to get a few pastries and cookies to-go.

    Donut case
    Diane R.

    This locally owned shop serves large popovers filled with delicious fillings. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is not a fancy location or area but this casual eatery is a breath of fresh air.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There is plenty of free parking out front. You walk in and give your order at the counter. The lady behind the counter was working hard and very nice. The popover was so big and filled we both commented that this was a large breakfast! The puffs were just ok, not very crispy but that is hard to do in this humidity. The maple bacon donut had generous toppings. The big stars were the huge popovers.

    Popover breakfast sandwich with bacon and avocado
    Ali S.

    This is a hole in the wall place outside of the main downtown area. The people were very friendly and the breakfast sandwiches were amazing!! High recommend.

    Mango, coconut, lilikoi and chocolate puffs. Heavenly!!
    Tim P.

    Go! Just go and promise you won't be disappointed. This bakery is a hidden gem and the food is only surpassed by its awesome service. I needed a box of little pastry puffs for a client meeting and came back an hour later to get more for myself. The mango and chocolate ones were my favorites - just little snack sized pieces of fluffy heaven. I promise you- you will not be disappointed!!

    Got a dozen they were so good!
    Pete B.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place for breakfast or lunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Coffee and donuts were great! Bought a dozen for the Soldiers....and it gets their seal of approval! Definitely stop by and grab a bite

    Brownie with macadamia nuts
    Cyrus A.

    Popover is a cafe nestled in what looks like a pretty industrial area. I almost mistook it for a car parts store, based on the facade. But Yelp had some great reviews, so off I went. First, the service is lovely, and I'm a huge fan of locally owned businesses! You can tell they care about their shop. I do wish I could give it a higher rating, but for me, the experience was just not what I was hoping for. The coffee was off, and especially since I've had amazing coffee my entire time so far in Hawaii, I was pretty disappointed by this brew. And then my pastry was also nothing to write home about. It tasted like any other brownie I've had, didn't stand out in any way, even with the macadamia nuts. The space itself was set up in an odd way, with two service stations flanking either side of the central seating area. It's also not the cleanest, overall. Sort of bracing its industrial setting, perhaps.

    Big Island Bakehouse is a can't miss when visiting Big Island! We made it over to this place on our…read moresecond to last day and we were greeted with so much cheer and the friendly staff gave recommendations and helped guide our choices. We tried the Bomboloni and Nutella Coconut croissant during our initial visit. The Bomboloni reminds me of a malasada but I enjoyed the creamy filling of this so much more. We ended up going back on our last day and tried some of the savory options - the goat cheese pesto croissant and then sausage roll were standouts for us. Enjoyed this place so much we hardly took pictures, but everyone should add this as a stop especially if visiting Volcano National Park!

    Open only 3 days a week, this has become one of my favorite stops on the way to Volcano (from…read moreHilo). In fact, except Madam Pele does NOT necessarily keep to the same schedule as the bakery, would try to time my Volcano drives to coincide with Friday, Saturday, or Sunday! Hahah. Today got a sampling of Mediterranean scones (savory with olives and delicious seasonings), croissants, danish, and my favorite... the ube cruffin. Holy Moly Batman... that one item was worth the drive alone! Since there really wasn't any real estate in our tummies, we split everything 3 ways... over the course of the next few hours. Two weeks later, still thinking about that ube cruffin! Would definitely do a repeat on that as well as the Medeterranean scones while trying other items. And as the nice couple infront of us in line mentioned, will have to return for the sister deli across the parking lot. Heard it was featured in Guy Hagi's food vlog. And if its good enough for Guy Hagi its where I want to be my next mealtime!

Their store is only open on Wed and Sat, so you should definitely plan ahead to visit this store on those days in the morning to have a better selection of bread choices. I tried their Asian Pear foccacia and it was absolutely amazing; pear, honey, and manchego cheese was a perfect harmony of sweet and savory flavors akin to well-balanced charcuterie board. Pane Nudo is a must try in Hilo. Highly recommend their foccacia bread!!!

At the rate people were buying, this house of flour, water, yeast, and salt would be out of bread in no time. We got two focaccia slices: goat cheese roasted pepper basil and an ali'i mushroom garlic. Both were chewy but airy at the same time. The mushroom was spicier than expected requiring bites of the goat cheese slice to cool the palete. The roasted peppers and basil added extra flavors to the richness of the goat cheese. Both were delicious, large slices of bread, and you should absolutely make a stop here, just make sure they're open. And get there early. These Hilo natives love their bread and there may not be much left if you get there late! For those of you familiar with Honolulu's famous Breadshop in Kaimuki, this may be slightly better, but don't take my word for it. Parking in whatever street parking you can find.
