    Brug Bakery on the west side? What? Can't believe we finally have one on this side of the island. I've always been to this bakery whenever I go to town side, and I'm glad I'm able to just drive close by and get pastries and goodies anytime! Located right by Massage Envy and Ross Kapolei. Lots of parking space, and the sign is big for you to see. I went at 10 a.m. before my massage appointment next door, and the selection was amazing. They were surprisingly still stocked, and the workers continued to fill the items. I love how it's a good mix of savory and sweet treats, and I'm excited to try more. My hands-down favorite is the tuna bread and mochi donuts.

    My first visit to the newest Brug Bakery located at the Kapolei Commons. I went at opening, there was a line, check out was pretty quick. There's 3 types of Anpan Jumbo, Koshi and Hokkaido. My favorite is the Jumbo Anpan. If you like a good Anpan this one's for you.. Jumbo Anpan consist of double the amount of red bean. I purchased 2 Jumbo Anpans and 2 sausage rolls it's an arabiki sausage wrapped in a soft Japanese bread. Both were warm and satisfying! Baked goods are in a bakery display case, personally I think It would be better if these were individually wrapped like their other locations. Other than that it's great to have a Brug Bakery in Kapolei. Welcome to Kapolei & love the cute bear stickers!

    Checked out this new Brug location in Kapolei. Right next to the Verizon store. The shop had all the usual breads and pastries from their other shops. Everything looked appealing and freshly baked. Some pastries seemed pricey but comparable to similar bakeries in Honolulu. Convent location for the west side. Service was fast and friendly. The hype has died down from their opening so it was a quick visit.

    I'm so glad they opened a Brug in Kapolei. This was my first time visiting this location and I was impressed. Located in Kapolei Commons next to Massage Envy, there is plenty of parking out front and a wide variety of pastries, bread and sweets to choose from. Compared to their other locations, I thought that this location had more options to choose from. They have cute strawberry and chocolate kuma cottas, new cakes and my favorite chocolate kuma puffs. My other favorites are the cranberry and cream cheese bread, mochi donut, tuna bomb, custard bread, curry pan and cream cheese bomb. The staff are helpful and the interior is wide and well lit. I recommend putting in your phone number when checking out to earn points for future purchases.

    Came to the grand opening. Showed up a little before 10 and made it in the bakery by 11:50 am. The staff did a good job of letting a certain amount of people in at a time. This location has certain items other locations do not have. Like their strawberry stuffed bear. They also had a bear with a heart stuffed with banana cream for Valentine's day. I was excited to try all the strawberry things including their fresh imported strawberries from Japan. My mom came and she got the cranberry loaf which was stuffed with cream cheese. It was soo good! I got a matcha mochi donut, fresh fruit cheese danish, chocolate croissant, mini baguettes, monkey bread, potato croquette, hotdog bun for my hubby. Strawberry pastry filled with red bean paste. I also wanted to try their panna cotta bear. It's so cute! We get one free on our next visit. We also got a free black tote bag. I wanted the chocolate cup but the girl at the front misunderstood me. My mom ordered us some drinks. She got a matcha frappe and I got a Strawberry matcha. She liked hers, mine was ok, too much ice. Spent around $80.00. The strawberries were pricey. I'm glad there is a Brug Bakery closer to me! I'm excited what other goodies they get in.

    Welcome to Kapolei... What a surprise to find that Kapolei Commons is home to the newest Brug Bakery and what a treat literally to see them here. You can find them at the opposite end of the theaters near Ross's as this newest addition does have some items that are unique to this location. Though yes once you walk in you'll find rows of individual keeping pairs of various pastries with a sign beside each item with name and price with a brief description some with time constraints has a made/pull time so there's no stress about its information. Along with some grab and go drinks and some merchandise of jelly and loaves of bread that you see at all locations what they have here are crafted drinks from their barista menu with teas and coffee it's pinkies up to pair with you pastries as well. What's also unique about this location is they have a display case filled with some cuties Kuma which is bear in Japanese are found here in Kuma Puffs where it's a round cream puff all dressed up like a bear and Cheese Kuma Cotta...their version of a Panna Cotta. The vibe here is just so nice and friendly with staff greeting you right when you enter and to wrap your pastries so nice and ready to travel is greatly appreciated and know that it's the spot that many have already enjoyed as well. Thank you!

    2/15/26 The last time I was there was during their soft opening. Being that their grand opening was yesterday, I waited to go today and there was no line. There were a lot more baked items, and this time around, items seemed fresher and several items were still warm. I was much more satisfied. *Customer service needs to improve...reason for 3 stars.

    Yay!

    Finally open in Kapolei! I usually go all the way to Ala Moana Center to get this Japanese bread, so I was really excited to hear they opened a location in Kapolei. I went on opening day, and there was a long line outside and inside the store -- clearly a lot of people were excited too! They had a big selection of bread, but unfortunately I couldn't find my favorite, the custard bun. I did see melon bread, but it didn't look like a traditional melon pan, so I decided not to get it. Since it was opening day, they probably made a large batch of bread, and some of it didn't look as fresh as I expected. I was a little disappointed this time. All staffs are ok. Plenty parking. That said, they just opened, so I'm looking forward to seeing how they improve. I'm still very happy we finally have a Japanese bakery on the west side!

    Coming soon 1-2026!

    Love that Brug Bakery will be opening soon, January 2026, in the Kapolei Commons (next to the Verizon store). This location will be the largest location on Oahu. This new store will be the only location selling BRUG Kuma Cakes! Make sure to check for more updates!

    Vegetable tarts, Cinnamon Mochi donuts

    Excellent location in Kapolei. I normally go to the Ala Moana Brug. We arrived around 10:00am and many items were on display. I did revisit around 12:00pm and many items were being restocked. Go early for the best selection. Employees were very friendly and efficient and helpful. Everything was delicious!

    Mochi donuts (top right)

    We tried this bakery on a whim as we were shopping in the area and we are SO happy we did. I recommend going before noon as there are usually more items available. An absolute must is the mochi donut. Both the original and chocolate are amazing. It's like a super noise almost oily (in a good way). The chocolate is like a homemade dark chocolate that melts in your mouth. If you get anything. Get this! You can get your own items and then pay at the end! Nothing we had was bad!!

    I love a Japanese style bakery and so glad Brug opened in Kapolei. Came here at 9 am and everything was filled and fresh. I got a sausage pastry, mochi donut and garlic bread. All my pastries were delicious and warm. I also ordered a strawberry match which was disappointing though and I would not order again. They put way too much strawberry which made it overly sweet and I could not taste the matcha at all. I'll stick to the baked goods next time I visit.

    Great new location. Amazing selection, easy parking. Would be nice if they opened earlier in the weekdays-I stopped by to pickup snacks for work and they were not open yet-had to go to the one up the street that was open.

    When I first inquired about the cake. Gal said it would be $70/ $55 for a 1/2 sheet cake and the…read moredecorations is $15 for the Doc Mcstuffin theme. There was also supposed to be a 10% craigslist discount. After seeing the many decorated cakes on her fancy website and inquiring with Gal, i figured the cake would be pictured with our theme; it would be decorated as doc Mcstuffin and as she indicated there would be a few toppers. I wanted to ensure that i was able to get a cake with this decoration for my daughters birthday since a 2 tier/3D fancy cake could not meet our budget. I contacted Gal on 3 occasions to confirm pricing, purchasing and pick up. I thought during this time, she took my order and unfortunately we were not on the same page. I sent my husband down there to pay $70 for the cake. However, she made him look thru a book of 1"x1" pictures of cakes and choose cake toppers to add to the cake. The toppers were $5 each, for the exception of one that was 1/2 the size. Anyhow, the cake came out to $90. I had to call her and asked why the cost was different then what she quoted me? She said "your husband chose all the cake toppers." I told her that i gave her my order and he was supposed to just taste the cake, choose a flavoring and pay for the cake. Anyhow, I didn't have time get into it and just left it at that. Fast foward to Scarlet's 2nd birthday. See the cake for your self. It was a regular lightly flowered-decorated cake with toppers on it. Really? I could have paid $25 for a Costco cake and order cake toppers on amazon for half the price. What does flowers have to do with our theme? What a disapooinment. She couldn't paint a stethoscope, doctor bag or bandaid on the cake? Her website shows all the other cakes decorated as themed. Unfortunately, the taste of the cake wasn't amazing either. There was a very thin layer of the flavoring that you get to choose from a selection of 5. Everyone kept asking what it was. It was supposed to be guava strawberry and unfortunately it tasted like a cheap version of guava jelly. The whip cream was too sweet as well. The cake separated at this layer too. It was cake, guava/strawberry flavoring/ cream/cake and it was falling apart while serving. The cake was in the house the entire time. It was hot though, but i don't believe that was the reason for the separation. Moral of story... Open communication. Make sure you know what you are buying. Maybe ask for a bigger picture that will be exactly what you are looking for. Ask for direct cost and not a generic quote.

Her guidance and knowledge in combining flavors and frostings to ensure it would hold in this hawaii weather were invaluable! We were blessed to have found her!

It had pretty pink and white decorations on a red velvet cupcakes, arranged in the numbers of 9 and 0! Usually I don't like a lot of frosting but the frosting was not too sweet and it was creamy. It seems to have cream cheese in the frosting and the cupcake I had a pink macaron! You can tell the birthday person was so touched by the beautiful cake made of cupcakes! Her younger sister and family threw her a special party. I don't know if I'll live that long but there are a lot of church members who is reaching 100 or 102 years old! Any age o reached I would be blessed, but the older you get.. you will have more cupcakes to share! lol The cupcake was moist and enjoyed it very much. I'm glad I finally got to try their cake! I thought it was so beautiful and she was so blessed! The bakery is near a friend's business but everytime I'm near, the bakery was closed.

    Such a cute bakery in Kaimuki!…read more Their website is user friendly. We ordered this while we were in another state. Very easy to confirm the date and time of pickup. They even text you a receipt as proof of purchase for the day that you pick it up. Since the eyes eats first :) This Chocolate cake is oh so pretty! It has some height to it and they show you the name plate (correct spelling) before they carefully place it into a special box with a window. The chocolate frosting is smooth all around. They delicately placed yummy chocolate candies along the top, strategically placed sprinkles along the bottom edge, and then hand crafted the special Happy Birthday name plate in gold. Now for the taste.... I would have to agree with the other reviews that said the cake was a bit dry or crumbly. It has the texture of something vegan without egg, fat, nor butter. I was trying to figure out if it was the type of flour they used. Perhaps it's just their style of cake? Like I mentioned earlier, the frosting is smooth. Maybe that's where all the butter or fat content is? I would have liked the cake layers to be a little more moist, but...when eaten together with the frosting it balanced out. Great service, cute treats, I'd come back to try other items...
