For this visit , I Got 2 large coffees ($5.50) and the Jalapeño bagel egg sandwich with bacon cheddar spread ($14.) . Wow- super yummy, the bagel was fresh-baked in house, perfect chew with a nice jalapeño kick, egg fluffy and bacon + cheddar spread melted just right. I am not a fan of bagel since the ones I had were hard to chew but this one hits different. Coffee was strong and hot, perfect Kauai morning fuel. Opens at 6AM, The lines are long but they move, worth the wait. Charming little bakery with fresh ocean views when you exit the shop, true family-owned vibe, super friendly hard working staff. You can tell everything is made from scratch -- they're famous for the fresh-baked bagels and banana pudding for a reason. The cinnamon rolls are huge with pecans, looks so tempting but I had to limit my sweets & carbs. "The Banana definitely is Jammin here", at The Jammin Bakery & Cafe , I can't wait to be back!!

Kind of odd to be charged per piece but I guess than means someone can order 10 and know their price. Food came out quickly even though it was busy. We found a nice small table to sit at. M y wife ordered the Acai bowl. When they say banana base, they mean the yogurt flavor. No actual real sliced fruit in th bowl. Seems kind of odd for an Acai bowl to be 70% granola with yogurt and nutella on top. Prices are still high even if not as high as the hotels.

We tried the chocolate and vanilla pena cotta and they were delicious! It was smooth and thick with great richness! We also picked up a bag of Arare Cookies. I love the extra crispy crunch and texture this cookie has. It's has an almond based flavor with an extra sweet crunch from the rice crackers. The older gentleman behind the counter was patient with me. It was so hard to choose from all the treats. We also tried the blueberry scone and the chocolate chip scone. These were not as sweet or as buttery as you might expect, but I'm sure will pair well with a sweet cup of coffee. Glad we stopped by!

I ordered a cake and an assortment of desserts for my parents' vow renewal celebration, and everything turned out even more beautiful and delicious than we could have hoped for. The presentation was absolutely stunning, the textures were wonderful, and every flavor was thoughtfully balanced. Best of all, nothing was overly sweet! Each dessert felt elegant and refined, and our guests were genuinely delighted. It's clear that so much skill, care, and artistry go into the creations at Orly Patisserie. I'm so grateful to have had such a beautiful addition to a meaningful family celebration, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Orly Patisserie to anyone looking for exceptional cakes and desserts for a special occasion. If you appreciate beautiful craftsmanship and delicious desserts that are as delightful to eat as they are to look at, Orly Patisserie is absolutely worth considering! THANK YOU!!!

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.

It's incredible and the most delicious homemade Filipino bun ever! My kids were also incredulous of how wonderful it tasted. During this visit we also tried the chicken adobo (better than my Filipino mom's version and better than the way I prepare it!) Wow, again best ever chicken adobo dish! My hubby got the breakfast plate that had sausages and rice. He loved it. Also got the chicken tinola and pork adobo on a second visit and more pan de sal! The shopkeepers are so nice and friendly. It's a pleasure supporting this local small business. It will definitely be a place we'll return to over and over again during future visit to Kauai! Highly recommend! There were many locals who came too! The lovely owner grandma said they've changed the name of the restaurant, because she's handed it down to her son and he'll run the business. Thank you for preparing and serving delicious Filipino food!

I should've got a dozen. This place is a small Filipino bakery and turo-turo joint on Rice Street in Lihue in between Rob's Good Times Grill and the bowling alley. The Tita that helped us was friendly and I was going to get a bag of their homemade chicharon but decided against it. She laughed when I changed my mind. They have some vegetables for sale scattered about the small retail space out front. But the main draw is their baked goods and their hot food to-go. I saw everything from biko (sticky rice dessert), musubis, empanadas, suman (sticky rice wrapped in banana leaf) for baked and packaged goods. Then they had pancit, dinuguan, fried fish and pork adobo. There were several other offerings that I cannot recall. Pan de sal was 3 for $1 or a dozen for $4. Gotta get the dozen. Parking is in the share lot right out front or street parking along Rice if the plaza is packed.
