Do you like meat? Do you like pastries? If you said yes to at least one of these then this is the place for you. I've enjoyed their high quality meat cuts, sausages, ground beef, and friendly service. But I'll be honest, I was just left in awe at their baked goods program. Like you have a great great local butcher, and somehow you add a world class bakery? This is a no frills, local, take out place that really serves the goods. While they don't have seating, they have the goods. Their croissants and laminated pastries is what I have here. Let me tell you, these croissants are not just "Hawaii good" they are world class good. I'd put these up to any croissant I've had. 100% the best ones in Hawaii. I'm willing to take input if you believe anyone does it better, as long as you've tried here first. Do yourself a favor, stop by, support local, keep it Kaimuki, and grab some goods. Just save me some. Overall 9.5/10 outstanding! read more

Love this spot in Kaimuki! It's a local bakery and butcher together in 1 spot. There's a cute outdoor area to eat at too. Love their baked goods! Ordered a Lilikoi pastry (forget what it was called) but it was delish! Also ordered a ham & cheese quiche because it's hard to find that here. This place doesn't disappoint! Parking can be a bit tricky but you could find street parking if you get lucky! Worth checking out though! read more

Quaint little storefront sandwiched between 8th and 10th ave. Service was great. I ask for brisket, pre-sliced. Next day service. It was packaged well. Each pound was sectioned with butcher paper and made it easy for me to portion out at home. The skirt steak was trimmed and didn't need the silver skin to be removed- one thing I always dislike doing. Saved me a load of time. They were also portioned out and separated by some kind of butcher paper. I love it! Price was competitive. I will be back! read more

The layers, oh so many layers! We picked up pastries from the Local General's booth at the KCC Farmers Market. My favorite was the kobocha, speculoos, chocolate which is a twice baked stuffed croissant with a cookie top. If you love gooey chocolate, this one's for you. The chocolate flavored kobocha mash mimics a thick pastry cream. Second favorite was the mushroom and gruyere. All the moisture from the mushrooms made the bottom of the pasty soggy, but the flavor of the cheese and the texture of the mushrooms was great, and the sides of the pastry was still crunchy crispy. The pandan and coconut twice baked croissant had a cookie top, was lightly sweet, and delicately filled and flavored. We are looking forward to trying their butchered meats and bone broth the next time and will remember to bring a cooler bag with ice. read more

First visit. Very friendly staff explained local meat sourcing and available options. Busy behind the counter but efficient ordering and short wait. Brought me so much joy to see so much going on, also busy with regulars popping in on a Sunday morning. Enjoyed the pastries and appreciated savory breakfast options. I will be certainly be craving the mushroom one and looking forward to returning to make meat purchases. Check out the fridge with prepared goods with more items to try. read more

The croissants here are well made. Buttery & flakey like it should be. Got the chocolate banana muffin, the chocolate is a good quality chocolate, but it overpowers the banana. All I taste is chocolate. Ginger cookie is good & the chocolate chip was delicious thanks to the quality chocolate they used. I feel the service lacking, not really want to answer questions. The space is really small in there & the butcher shop is in the same place. read more

My dad is an old Asian man that is super picky about his food. He used to be okay with croissants from Costco but I took him here about two months ago after church and now this is the only croissant he will eat. He walks to The Local General Store at least 2 times a week for these amazingly flaky decadent croissants. He'll ask me do you think this costs too much and I say nothing costs too much for you, Dad! Live your life! There was one week they were closed for renovation and my dad came back home so sad. We saw their IG post though on hours and he was so happy to know he could go the following week. Truly though, all the baked goods me and my dad have had here are freaking amazing. These are on par with the baked goods I've had in SF and Napa. Also super pleased we can pick up pate here. Great, friendly service as well and so happy it's in our neighborhood. We LOVE coming here. read more

Have been here three time now. Consistently delicious croissants that are perfectly layered, with fluffy layers and a nice crunch in every bite. Perfect warm or room temperature. Interior is Ewa side the bakery and Leahi side the butcher. Can't go wrong with either side for quality products. Yes, it is a bit more money, but you can taste, see and smell the quality. It is worth it. Some favorites are Manoa Chocolate Ganache Croissant, Danishes and anytime they place a unique topping in a fusion way. to European pastries. Kudos to Harley! read more

All the pastries are solid. Worth getting there early, standing in line, whatever you have to do before they run out. And if there's Carrot Cake, GET IT. Having a butcher there to cover dinner is convenient too. Their house made broths help me out a lot. And my dog loves their treats. read more

This review is about the seasonal pre order Macadamia & Pecan pie (pre order for Thanksgiving) The pre ordering was easy and so was pick up. Smooth pick up... I was in and out in less than 5 mins. The pie was delicious! The sweetness is perfect. The crust is to die for. Adding the whipped creme that came with the pie (separately) was a perfect blend. I'm more of a pecan person versus Macadamia nuts so I'm not going to talk about the nuts because it'll be a bias personal opinion. read more

I was super excited to visit the Local General Store. Thankfully, I found street parking close by for free since I went on a Sunday. The shop itself is very cute and home-y. It's not very big, but perfect for servicing pick-up orders and walk ins. I spoke to Jason via email for my pre-order. He was communicative, informative and very helpful. When I picked up my order, he made certain everything was to my liking and that I understood how to best prepare the meat. I got a thick slice of bone-in ribeye for my boyfriend's birthday dinner. Can't wait to cook and try it! I couldn't help but also order some pastries. I got one pastrami croissant and one chocolate ganache croissant. I shared half of each with my boyfriend. Super flakey and flavorful! Would get again. I really appreciate how intimate the experience was. The level of service and care is unmatched in local businesses such as this one. Please be kind to the business owners by leaving a tip and closing the door behind you! Kaimuki gets hot! read more

When I was in high school, I worked at a boulangerie, laminated dough on a sheeter, and made croissants. The experience ruined me forever...until I found these croissants here on Oahu. It's hard to bake in Hawaii and even more challenging to turn out such a decadent and well made product. These croissants are beautiful to look at, buttery, outrageously flaky, and yet tender on the interior. Order and prepay online for easy Sunday morning pickup. Harley will have your box of treats waiting for you with your name on a descriptive menu card and off you go! The best!!!!! read more

Stopped by the shop on a Saturday morning at 845 am. They were already sold out of the ulu pastry but had all their other offerings left. Got at least one of everything to try: croissant, chocolate croissant, roast beef chimichurri, lychee, mango cream, and pickled mushroom. Every one of the pastries with the exception of the mango and lychee had a croissant like texture. They were so buttery and flakey that we had so many flakey crumbs on our picnic mat and so many greasy hands. Thankfully it was still crunchy! My favorite was the pickled hamakua mushrooms, Gruyère , and micro greens mostly because I love veggie items. My husband liked it because it reminded him of stuffing. My daughters wanted the chocolate croissant but us adults decided it was too dark for the pastry. My one daughter only wanted the chocolate but she loves chocolate. A recommendation would be to offer a milk chocolate version as well. My husband liked the mango and cream bread the best. It was an interesting shape and had very fresh mangos! The meat selection was interesting. We saw a few that we would like to try in the future. It would be nice to see the butcher side evolve where they sell food that incorporates those meats into dishes. We aren't a big fan of local beef we have gotten in the past, so it would be nice to try these in meals before purchasing them. We were excited to try a bakery place in town and it didn't disappoint! read more

I have definitely been exploring Kaimuki lately. The Local General Store is a butcher shop and bakery. I picked up some flaky croissants and there was light and airy. The Chocolate Croissants were my fave. The mushrooms gruyere cheese croissants needing some extra flavors tho. It was a little bland. The plain croissants are perfect. If you're in the neighborhood, don't forget to grab some bakery items. You'll be greeted with a smile. read more

I wanted to give them 5 stars but since I haven't tried everything, I will give them a solid 4 stars. A friend introduced us to the beef jerky. Very well done fresh made beef jerky. Tons of flavor. Tried the mushroom, Gruyère cheese croissant was out of this world ... crispy croissant and the edges with creamy cheese and mushroom in the center. Service: 5 star greeted with a smile Ambiance: we took it to go but there is seating outside Will be back read more

Croissant Heaven. Mango cream, lychee, ham and cheese, mushroom and brea, and traditional croissant. All were good but mango cream and lychee, and traditional sold us. Crunchy, flakey buttery goodness! Staff was friendly. Both owners were friendly and wish we had a place closer to home or we would be grabbing more flakey croissants and ono pastries. We ended buying a 2nd box to take home. ;-) read more

Food is good. Great quality. And a high price to match it. $12 for a croissant sandwich was a bit much. The serves was ok... the lady didn't give me any napkins for my very wet sandwich. If you have the money the meats seem outstanding but also completely out of budget for us regular Joes. The bone broth was good, that's their saving grace. Not many places serve it. They were semi pet friendly but no items to purchase for your fur baby. Overall, the food was good. The coffee was good. A little out of my price for value range honestly. read more

so happy that they finally were able to open their brick and mortar! i went to all of their farmers markets and made it a habit to go on sundays when they were just popping up kaimuki superette. they have more staff now, so they dont have to do everything themselves. i still have only gone on sundays and not during the week, since i hardly ever go past downtown. Still about the same amount of pastry selections as before. i feel like theres a ton more meat selection though. items i always get: 1) traditional croissants, so great for making sandwiches with their salami! i usually get 3-4/week 2) beef jerky, my fave!! i buy it by the gallon ziplock bags full (normal is a 2oz paperbag) 3) all beef hotdogs. seriously the best hotdog i have ever eaten. and i always guy these to make chicago dogs. these are on the larger side though so you have to make sure you buy a bun that can hold the dog, or you'll have to use 1-1/2 buns periodically i'll buy other things like danishes, cookies, etc it does get a bit crowded in there and because theres no official line it sometimes gets confusing about who is first. since when you come in the door, pastries are to the left, but meat is to the right, and theres only 1 cash register. best part about this place is that harley & jason are such amazingly beautiful people! i love supporting them because they deserve it! read more

Amazing croissants. Definitely want to go and check out their meat options. support local.

Cyndy's Bottom Line: Flakey and buttery goodness *Newly opened. Hours of Operation Thursday, 6/1- Monday, 6/5 Bakery: 8:00am-2:00pm (or sold out) Butcher Counter: 9:00am-5:00pm Tues. (6/6) & Wed.(6/7) CLOSED *Street parking *Arrive early before the bakery sells out *Friendly and attentive service. I stopped in at lunch time especially for the croissants and they were just about sold out. I did get to buy the traditional croissant and the chocolate croissant. They are absolutely divine! I could smell the buttery goodness while in the box. The traditional is very flaky with layers of crispiness on the outside and the inside is so soft and buttery Divine! The chocolate croissant is equally as flaky and buttery on the inside but has an extra goodness inside which is the chocolate ganache from Manoa Chocolate Hawaii. The ganache is so decadent and yummy! I will return early to try all the other baked goods. The best croissants outside of Paris! Check out the butcher section with locally sourced cuts of beef. The meat looks so fresh and a good selection of cuts. Highly recommend. read more

On my most recent visit of my never ending saga of my finds at the Local General Store , I pre-ordered the assorted box which featured a super moist olive oil cake with a bright, zesty lemon curd and luscious salted caramel and a beautiful danish with layers of lilikoi, baklava and cornmeal streusel in addition to my favorite double chocolate croissant and cream cheese eggplant everything danish. the Lilikoi Baklava danish is definitely one of my new favorites - the thick layers of tart lilikoi and sweet sweet baklava created a harmonious danish that I've never experienced before! read more

I'm always looking for some tasty croissants and this place has some of the flakiest ever! I got the following when I went - 1) pastrami croissant 2) chocolate butter mochi croissant 3) s'mores croissant 4) chocolate banana bread They were all so so so good! The croissants are so flakey that when you take a bite into them, you can see the individual layers flaking off. Each layer is so crispy and crunchy. Definitely all the things you look for in a croissant. Love the unique items that they offer and can't wait to go back and try more of their pastries! read more

I never heard about this place until our Aunty Nadine C mentioned to us after our get together we go and check it out. Located on Waialae Ave and 9th Ave had to look for street parking but good thing it was a holiday but still parking is limited. We found parking and started down the street then met our friends then Peter Y said theres some parking stalls on the side of the store. My mind was to get something sweet since Nadine said they have some desserts. I headed for the counter and yes they were the dessert but because we were late the choices wasn't that much. But I got the bear claw with chocolate filling inside, also ginger cookie, and there cinnamon roll. The bear claw was good , ginger cookie was good ginger taste kinda of soft type texture and the cinnamon roll was good too. If we ate it there would have been better but taking it home it tends to sit and gets a little hard. They also sells sandwiches and cut deli or butcher type meats. Daniel C said there sandwiches are good. So did Peter Y said it good must be since he work close by. Lol..... the people were very friendly and patient because of what I was looking for and trying to think shall I buy this or that. Haha... if you looking for something to ear stop by and support them. Go after the end of the month of Jan I think they going on vacation or do some renovations. IDK. read more

I was so jarred moving to America and not having butchers. These guys are so knowing and a must for local and fresh meats. It made me miss where I'm from because they really take care in their sustainably , and offer cuts that make the most of what we eat. The only other is Butcher and Bird. I'm sure they're both as good as the other, but the personable side rates this higher. Their extras from the bakery killed me. So yum. I half demolished this before I reminded myself to post read more

I have a complete obsessive love with this place. I went on Monday to secure my beloved. It's known as sandwich of the day. They make all their luncheon meats homemade on homemade bread or croissant or whatever they want. I'm all for whatever they want. There is only 1 choice for sandwich, you can't order like a regular sandwich shop. However , this is the greatness of this place. First of all, I rarely get sandwiches. I'm not a fan. This place is the exception. The meats are incredibly flavorful. The toppings they put in the sandwich play off the flavor of the meats to create a happiness explosion in your mouth. Sandwiches are only available 11-2 and sometimes they sell out. I learned the hard way, so now I call and have them hold one for me, A bonus is their breakfast sandwiches. Super delicious and it's topped with their choice of the meat of the day. I had one a couple weeks ago, egg, some kind of cheese, meatloaf on a croissant. So incredibly delicious. The staff are beyond nice and super patient in explaining what's on the meat counter, like kalua pork rillette. I bought some after they explained and duck eggs too. Run, run as fast as you can to this place. I promise it's life changing. read more

OMG, what a croissant! Can this be? Better than the famed B. Patisserie? Gently sweet. Moist inside, ethereally crisp and flaky on the outside. The hint of fermentation from proper resting. The rich flavor of high quality butter dominates. As good as the one at that little shop in Paris' 11th arrondissement? Nah, but we can't travel to the EU so a worthy substitute. Along with baked goods, the Local General Store is a purveyor of quality, locally sourced proteins. Grass fed beef from Maluhia Ranch, venison from Molokai Livestock Coop, pork from Kualoa Ranch.. The owners work closely with their suppliers to offer what would typically be available only to those who are in the know or restaurants. The quality, outstanding. Hawaii's climate, clean water and air make for prime pastures for livestock to graze. It translates to a "clean" tasting (no funk or excess game flavors) with mild mineral notes. Tip: The Molokai venison is outstanding. Lean, dense, juicy if cooked rare. The flavor, bold like lamb with a flinty finish. Follow on IG for weekly pricing and availability. Order via DM (rapid response). Pickup and pay on Sunday at Kaimuki Superette. Note: Credit / debit card only. NO CASH. Very friendly service. A COVID era popup that is hopefully here to stay. read more

Anything twice baked croissant is worth trying. I've tried their sandwiches and it's ok. Don't forget to look in the fridge on the right side of the butcher counter.

Finally got a chance to visit this shop on my own. I found parking about a block away in the adjacent neighborhood. It was a short walk to the shop. I got here around 7:50. The shop opens at 8:00, and they opened right on time. Since I was the first customer, I could take my time and peruse the baked goods. The shop is clean and bright with workers busy in the background prepping things on both the bakery side and butcher side. The owners (husband and wife) were taking and filling the orders. They packed the box of pastries for my dentist nicely and I paid an extra dollar for a bag to present to my dentist. I got a smoked ham and gruyere croissant and a croissant cinnamon roll for myself. They were both so yummy. I will have do some extra minutes on the stationary bike today. Ha ha : ). Definitely will be back to try different items. I wish that they would make sandwiches (deli style roast beef sandwiches). I bet it would be a hit! read more

If you're looking for fresh, local and unusual cuts of meat, this is the place! They have anything from cumin spiced lamb salami to head cheese or ossobuco.

They also carry a nice little selection of greens from local farms. Good vibes and kind people here! read more
