We ordered the passion fruit, coconut, and 1 plain/non filled. We ended up ordering another coconut and a chocolate one as it was fresh out of the back. We also ordered 2 coffees. Coffees were good, but we really came for the malasadas and they did not disappoint. The staff was lovely, helpful, made great recs and friendly. There are a couple of tables inside so we sat and enjoyed them while talking with a few locals about how wonderful the Bakeshop is. Highly recommend coming early & we will definitely be back on our next trip to Kauai!!

Came here for the malasadas- we tried the guava, lilikoi, and matcha. The matcha was a bit bland,…read morethe guava was the perfect sweetness, and the lilikoi had that nice tartness. They were all light, fully stuffed, and huge (we def could've done with sharing 2 instead of 3). We also tried the krab roll and Portuguese roll, both of which were fine. Was surprised how quiet it was, but it was a bit later in the morning.

She is located at 934 Kipuni Place (back at her bakery). The website doesn't reflect this yet so make sure to call for hours, etc. Same delicious baked goods - we ordered the apple banana muffin and the Mac nut sticky bun. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures before inhaling them! But trust me, they're delicious. Just remember it's her actual bakery facilities so not a restaurant, it's grab and go, but well worth it!

We sampled all the flavors, and honestly, every single one was delicious. Definitely a must-visit if you're in Kauai! It's a smaller establishment but they have seating outside with covers. The service was very friendly.

Uniquely kind and patient staff, especially "Auntie Shana."…read more Fairly priced pastries, with the inside looking like typical donut cafe. The UBE and POG Malasadas I tried are delicious on their own way, with the UBE being mildly sweet and wonderfully satiating and POG is nice and fruity. I didn't think it was too sweet or had too much filling at all, and I don't like donuts with fillings typically. For all these reasons, I think tourists and locals alike should try this place at least once.

This location is located on a main street that can be very busy. Since it was late, they were closing up and packing away from the 'deli' area so we could not do any food orders. We were able to get our Poi and other food items with no issue. It is a smaller and narrow location that is deep from the front counter to the back. Best of low cost local food and to go.

I saw a mix of reviews before coming here, but wanted to try them out anyway since they get hyped…read moreup as a top-tier donut spot. Honestly, after trying them, I left feeling like it was just okay. I definitely expected a bit more given the hype and price tag. Price & Size: At $4.50 per donut, I expected them to be larger. They are definitely on the smaller side for what you pay. The Donuts: They are taro-based, which gives them a unique texture. Flavors Tried: - Lilikoi: Super fresh, but a bit underwhelming for the cost. - Original Sin: Hawaiian vanilla bean and maple glaze. It was decent, but nothing mind-blowing. It's a cool concept using local taro and Hawaiian ingredients, but for the size and price, it didn't quite live up to the high expectations. Good to try once, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to get them again!

The coffee price is a little steep, but I thought it was pretty good. I got my iced and didn't taste any sourness to it. I've noticed at other places, when you get an iced coffee, there's a hint of sourness. Parking here was not an issue as it's shared with other establishments. I'm not sure of the time we went, but I did noticed Kauai not being busy at all. Compare to the last 2 times I've been here, this 3rd time, it hasn't been busy. Which I enjoyed.

They don't take reservations for smaller parties, but they do have an option to add your name to a waitlist online through Yelp. Fortunately we arrived early enough that there wasn't a wait yet, and we were able to get seated almost immediately. First off, I love all the chicken decor. It suits the island vibe and is so Kauai! The food and drinks were all fantastic. A couple members of our party ordered sweets (french toast and waffles) and a couple of us did savory (breakfast sandwich and Kauai benedict). Across the board, we were all extremely happy with our choices and continued to rave about this meal even after it was over. If you love breakfast/brunch, definitely plan to visit Kountry Kitchen during your visit to Kauai!

The loco moco gravy was jello - ish texture and cold. The meat was not tasty and it was dry. Corn beef hash was better if I would have made it myself. Disappointed in prices. They charged me $10 for a cup of pineapples. A small CUP of pineapples without even letting us know it was not part of the side option but an addition. Will not return, better to go down the street to McDonald's and get a tastier breakfast. The inside was also pretty dirty.
