    My mother and sister share the same birthday!
    Yvette M.

    Cakes by Sandi! She helped me surprise my mother and sister who share a birthday. It being our mothers 60th Birthday I knew I wanted something special and by Sandis reviews I knew I would get an amazing cake! I gave her no decorations ideas I left it up to her and she delivered above and beyond! It was a complete surprise to our mother and everyone loved the cake we ordered a two tier one Chocolate and one passion fruit I think amazing! 10/10 use her for all your special occasions she won't disappoint. Also they mention she delivered to our Airbnb I mean that's great service.

    Delicious, beautiful and delivered! Arrived in Poipu on a Tuesday and decided to find a cake for our son's 30th birthday-- saw the reviews and called Sandi. She was a sweetheart, talked me through options and I ordered a small chocolate cake with Nutella filling and happy birthday in blue. What was delivered was FAR beyond my expectations!! (See picture!). I will order more cakes from Sandi even when we're not celebrating a birthday!

    Sandi did phenomenal cake work! Efficient communication. Decorations beautiful. Passion fruit buttercream fantastic! Sandi...thank you for helping us celebrate our friend!

    She baked and decorated the two layered cake.

    I was grateful to have found Sandi. I am not from Kauai so I was nervous because I wasn't going to be able to try it beforehand, but I took a leap of faith. She definitely exceeded my expectations. She was very responsive since day one. She helped us choose the flavor based on what we liked. We decided to go with her Kona Mocha cake, which is a rich chocolate cake filled with fudge and espresso swiss meringue buttercream. This cake was the best cake I have EVER had. The cake itself was very soft and the filling actually tasted like coffee and it wasn't too sweet. Not only did the cake taste amazing, but she did a fantastic job decorating it. We were so happy that our guests loved our cake too. You won't regret ordering a cake from her. I wish I could go back just for a slice.

    Sandi provided us with the most beautiful cake for my daughters 7th birthday. There was such care and attention to detail in every aspect of its decoration. It was perfect in every way and DELISH! Oh my was it delicious. Subtle coconut flavoring in the crumb and which had just the right density - and the filling was so creamy and tart. It added just the right contrast to the just sweet enough buttercream. This may be the best cake Ive ever had, and Sandi was so sweet and accommodating! Highly recommend.

    She did a fabulous job. I said I had a 3 year old who liked Spider-Man and cars and that I didn't want a lot of food coloring, and she delivered a beautiful 7-inch cake with the remote controlled Spider-Man car on top! It even had white chocolate webbing and a delicious tropical fruit filling of pineapple and banana.

    lovely cake, lovely person. celebrated my sister's birthday on vacation in Kauai in style. Sandi is terrific. highly recommend.

    Very happy with her cake!!!

    I can not say enough about Sandi's amazing cakes, amazing customer service & overall best ordering experience! I called from California to order a cake & have it delivered to the hotel my friend was staying at. She was celebrating a special birthday so this called for a special cake. Sandi made the PERFECT cake!!! She delivered it to the hotel & was kind enough to work with the staff to arrange the in person delivery. I will forever promote Sandi & her amazing cakes!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Sandi!!

    I was looking for a special cake for my sister's birthday and came across the reviews for Sandi. She was so friendly and recommended the Lilikoi butter cream flavored cake. She also delivered the cake. It was perfect. It was not too sweet and had amazing flavor. The flowers were so beautiful we saved one for the whole trip!

    Simply amazing and delicious!
    Tony P.

    Sandi's cakes are amazing! I was fortunate enough to find her Yelp page and contact information before our elopement to Kauai. The pictures and reviews from others speak volumes about her work and VERY delicious cakes. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a great Wedding cake to use Sandi. She was great to work with and easy to talk to over the phone. We arranged all the details ahead of time and everything was good to go for our pick-up. Turned out her place was right across the street from our Air BnB so we could walk over! Her cake was excellent, delicious and so beautiful. It really made the day very special. 100% recommended!

    March 25, 2019 Wedding Cake 2-tier vanilla chiffon cake with passion fruit filling and light, fluffy white buttercream frosting
    Lindsey W.

    Sandi is just the greatest! She made our wedding cake in March 2019 and then she made us a smaller version of our wedding cake for our 2 year wedding anniversary. I would highly recommend her. She is very responsive, helpful and friendly.

    a blue angry bird cake

    Sandi is truly amazing at her craft! We needed a birthday cake for a 2-year old in 3-days time, and she was responsive and excited to take on the project. I was just expecting a small cake with some decorations for our daughter's "Bluey" themed birthday party - she actually made Bluey! Not only was it the centerpiece of the party, but everyone was stunned by how good it tasted! She used fresh strawberries inside and the frosting was a hit! I will continue to seek Sandi's talents for all of our future birthdays and events. Thank you Sandi!

    Was in the Kauai Area and wanted to try out some baked malasadas, and Kauai Bakery looked to be the…read morebest option nearby that we could try out! We stopped by on a Tuesday around 8:30AM and got our pick of malasadas to try out! Kauai Bakery is located in a shopping plaza with plenty of ample parking, making it very easy to stop by and grab some delicious pastries. Service is like your typical bakery, you pick what you would like and they get it to you so you can stuff your face immediately after purchase. Ambiance is cozy with plenty of pastries to pick from in the large display case. We got 4 flavors of Malasadas for $16, which is $4 per doughnut, which I think is a decent price for the size and heft. The flavors we sampled were Lilikoi, Coconut, and Guava - out of these flavors, the coconut one was my personal favorite! The flavor was exactly what I would want anything coconut cream flavor should taste, creamy texture with a pleasant coconut taste that didn't taste artificial at all. It captured the floral background taste that is missing from a lot of coconut desserts that makes coconut so pleasing to eat! The Lilikoi one was my next favorite, it had a slight tartness and a more subtly pronounced flavor - I think I was looking for something stronger personally. Lastly was the guava one, which actually tasted a bit artificial and didn't have a pronounced flavor at all, which was unfortunate. Despite this critique, I would still glady inhale 2 or 3 of them because the dough was really pillowy and really enjoyable to eat. I think that the pastries here (at least the malasadas) are very solid and priced competitively vs most things here on Kauai. I would totally come back to get several more of the malasadas as well as try the other pastry options on the menu. Stop by and give this bakery a try if you are in the area!

I'd explain it as an apple pie with baby bananas, and cobbler like crumbles on top. It's wonderful. One of the things I appreciate the most about this shop is that the staff is so nice about questions. I hear them answering all kinds of questions for almost every customer that comes in. They answer with patience and kindness. Overall it's got a lovely interior that feels like a hometown pie shop. It has interior seating. There is parking outside in front of the shop. Hope you visit because it's a very nice place for dessert or savory pies to go.

The last time I had a pot pie was at a KFC Irvine, CA & it doesn't compare to this. The pot pie here is so good, tasty and savory, it is Fire!! The hot pot pie comes in meat with over 10+ varieties, inluding vegetarian and Gluten Free. Besides the chicken pot pie, we enjoyed a slice of macadamia sweet pie, it was so hard to decide on what flavors since they all sound so good! I try to squeeze The Right Slice in when we visit the Garden Isle and try to make it out to here, this side of the Kauai. I can't wait to be back for more, if you are here you are definitely- getting The Right Slice!!

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.

It's really cool to see such a niche coffee roaster show up on the most niche island in Hawaii! It's located smack dab in the middle of Old Koloa Town, and it was the perfect place to start our day! We came pretty early after opening, and there were just a few souls in sight. The people working the bar were great, and we promptly ordered and got our drinks. There's plenty of seating, both inside and out, so that was a huge plus! I ordered a haupia foam cold brew, and my friend got a standard cold brew. Both were great, and the haupia foam was light and sweet. I only wish I got a larger size! Coconut, cream, and roasty flavors emanated from my drink, making every sip pretty punchy. My friend was saying how he thinks Hawaiian cold brew, in general, is on the lighter side (in dilution, not in roast). I tend to agree. But, that gives a lot of room to flavor or really just deliver a lot of volume in your drink. Overall, this was a super refreshing thing to have not only in the morning, but also in general on Kauai!

I ordered a hot matcha latte with oat milk, and the matcha already comes pre-sweetened per the barista. It tastes very similar to Starbucks matcha, not horrible but not great either. A little too sweet for my liking and not enough of the matcha flavor comes through. The color also wasn't the correct shade of green for good quality matcha, but I'm someone who likes to make my matcha at home and rarely find ones at coffee shops that I actually like, so take my review with that in mind, if you're a casual matcha drinking then you would like their version. It doesn't dry your tongue out or have a bitter taste. The following day I decided to try their coffee and ordered a hot vanilla oat milk latte. It was just okay, the espresso is a little more on the acidic side and I couldn't taste any vanilla flavor. Definitely not the worst latte I've had in Hawaii, but for the cost of lattes nowadays, I wouldn't come back to try more of their menu until I try other local coffee shops first. Pros: Plenty of parking right out front, good amount of seating inside, clean bathrooms, wifi, they sell their coffee beans and merchandise including shirts and hats which are super cute, there is also a small shop inside the same building that sells clothing/candles/bags/etc and the store employee is super nice
