We ordered the Lilikoi, Haupia, and Ube malasadas -- and WOW. All of them were so good, but the ube was our favorite! Soft, fluffy, perfectly sweet, and filled with so much flavor. You can really taste the freshness. The employees were also so sweet and kind, which made the experience even better. It's always nice to feel welcomed, especially early in the morning. Another big plus is the private parking lot with plenty of spaces -- super convenient! There's also lots of outdoor seating in a courtyard surrounded by beautiful plumeria trees (and some friendly chickens walking around), which adds to the whole island charm. Such a delicious and peaceful spot to start your day -- we'd definitely come back again!

Went to Passion Bakery for breakfast to try their "famous malasadas". Got the guava filled malasada…read moreand also too their Java Chip Mocha Frappuccino. Unfortunately being from Oahu with having Leonard's Bakery malasadas, these malasadas were rather mid compared to that. The guava filling was the artificially flavored type. But other than that it was a decent/above average sweet treat. The malasadas itself I'd say was 3 stars. However, the star was the Java Chip Mocha Frappuccino. The thing I loved most about it was that the java chips were small enough where it never got stuck in the straw and was evenly consistent with every sip. By far the best java chip mocha frappuccino in my book! I'd come back for this one. It made starbucks seem mid tbh. Service was friendly and efficient. And the ambiance, though quite small it was fresh with the smell of a malasadas bakery :) Plus a few tables and plenty parking outside. Overall I'd give it a 4 stars. Definitely coming back for that java chip frappuccino YUM!!!

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.

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 on a whim because we stopped at Pono Market and it was next door…read more WOW these croissants were legit. Freshly baked and they had some yummy savory options. We did the mushroom, onion, and Swiss. Highly recommended if you are a mushroom lover. Definitely recommended if you are a croissant fan like me. There were so many other pastries we could buy, but our stomach was only so full. They do run out so I recommend coming here early.

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!

Lost of people make cookies, but Sarah's of Cravings are truly just outstanding! From those first two bites I was wanting more - and fully indulged myself several times over while on the island! Cravings has a wonderful variety of organic foods, and their produce is so fresh and flavorful. Their granola also has a reputation of its own as being world-class. When you're on the island, please don't miss the opportunity to find Cravings of Kilauea.

The actual spa is small but intimate. They took all three of us in at once and they were on time. Nicole was my therapist and I thought I had hit pay dirt. I said I was very tight in my neck and shoulders and she proceeded to give me a firm but none painful massage. She took care of most of my issues while I was face down. When I was on my back she started to work on my face and jaw which further relaxed my neck. One of the best massages I have ever had. Turns out my two friends were singing praises about there massages. So I guess there whole staff is talented. I get massages on a regular basis. When I go to someone who has never seen me before I am usually disappointed. That was NOT the case at Hanalei Bay. I was the center of focus the entire time I was there.
