Because you deserve a treat after a morning run down Kalakaua..but run fast they close at 11:30. Iced Americano-cold and refreshing, avocado toast- a crisp slice of sourdough with a good amt of avocado, cherry tomatoes and sprouts, easy to eat no fork needed. And those pastries (because u ran, remember?)- chocolate brioche filled with haupia and chocolate or pabana croissant so delicious- nothing tastes artificial. Small sitting area outside, but its in a busy loading zone, smoke break area. But you won't notice while you're busy enjoying your treats. read more

Halekulani Bakery - pabana croissant, choc haupia brioche - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Q: Why did the coffee bean keep checking his watch? A: He was pressed for time. Halekulani Bakery is a light, bright, wood-lined bakery featuring treats including croissants, muffins, and coffee. My waifu, Sherly M., told us to come here. As someone who doesn't eat too many sweets, even I found myself falling in love with this place. After a few hours at the beach, we popped into the Halekulani Bakery for a pick-me-up and some treats. $8 Salted Caramel Croissant, $7.50 Chocolate Croissant, $8.50 Guava Matcha, and a $7.50 White Mocha were ordered. AMAZING after a morning on the beach. The drinks were smooth and the croissants were flaky and delicious. I thought the salted caramel croissant would end up being too rich or too sweet but it was perfect with the earthiness of the guava matcha I was drinking. I need to get their coconut cake slice the next time I'm there! read more

I think the pastries were baked very well. Many of the custard and fillings had a Hawaiian or island twist. Lots of passion fruit and lilikoi. Kouign amann: 4/5 delicious but couldn't have too much because it was pretty sweet. Extremely caramelized and has an extra toasted slight burnt taste if you like that! Passionfruit pastry: 5/5 crispy flakey and light on outside like a perfect flat croissant with creamy passionfruit custard. Mango cream cheese bread: 3/5 I would skip. Bread was like sour dough, tough to eat and not remarkable. Vanilla latte: 4/5 solid coffee, but maybe a little too roasted for my taste Long lines in the morning especially weekdays. Also very close to center of Waikiki and the Sheraton. There's also the spamusubi cafe nearby!! Plenty of seating outside and some inside too. Such a cute cafe/bakery. read more

We arrived around 9:30 AM, and since they're open daily from 6:30 AM to 11:30 AM, most of the pastries were already gone by the time we got there. Luckily, we managed to grab the last Pabana Croissant (passion fruit, mango, and banana) and a slice of coconut cake, there were only a few slices left! We're so glad we still had the chance to try their pastries and cake. The Pabana filling had a great balance of sweetness and flavor, not overly sweet. The passion fruit really stood out, with a slight hint of mango, though the banana flavor wasn't very noticeable. As for the coconut cake, it had a strong coconut aroma, a soft texture, and a rich, satisfying filling. The cream wasn't too sweet either, which made it even more enjoyable. Overall, we loved everything! If you're planning to try their pastries, definitely go early, items sell out quickly. Store hours are 6:30 AM to 11:30 AM daily. :) read more

One of my former coworkers suggested that we stop by here to enjoy some morning pastries and catch up. It had been years since I visited Halekulani Bakery, so I was excited to check it out again. The gorgeous bread display immediately caught my eye upon entering, but it wasn't long before we were able to move through the line to the pastries. Holy perfect laminated dough, Batman! I cannot even fathom the technique it requires with the butter to get SO many layers of flaky, golden pastry. I opted to get the chocolate haupia brioche, garnished with chocolate flakes and a gold leaf. We were lucky enough to snag one of the tables as a family was leaving, so we got to enjoy our meals immediately. Yum! The brioche wasn't sugary and had a rich chocolate flavor. The textures inside were both creamy and crunchy, so it provided a nice contrast as I bit into different sections. I'm so glad I got to visit again after all this time. They have so many different options to try, so I want to come back before the trip is over, especially as the signature coconut cake and the beni-imo tarts both looked incredible! read more

The Halekulani Bakery was good when they first opened. It is ahmazing now! Was privileged to visit again while friends staying at the Halekulani's sister property, the Helumoa. The bakery is actually in the Helumoa Hotel ACROSS the street from the Halekulani on Kalia Road... right next to Umi by Vikram Garg. Everything I've had here is spectacular. The fig and nut bread reminding me of my favorite in Korea. The pistachio raspberry croissant, had it two days in a row! Of course the signature salted caramel and chocolate croissant soooo good. The drip coffee or other fancier drink are perfect compliments (I really like their hot coffee on drip here tho expresso is available too). Looking for occasion to return for the elusive fig and prosciutto croissant and the delicious looking avocado toast. And if in the mood for their matcha guava latte. Tho, that drip coffee..! Parking is validated in the building for the first hour with purchase. read more

Such a cute and small bakery. Seemed very Japanese and authentic. I love these types of self serve bakeries. They also had such unique and special flavors, I didn't know what to choose. - pabana croissant: 9.4/10. Sooo good !! It's amazing how I can taste all three flavors in this croissant (passion fruit, banana, mango). Each flavor was subtle but present and delicious. The croissant was super fresh and crispy. - curry pan: 8.8/10. Different from your typical curry pan. It was more of a curry spiced filling loaded with beef. read more

Out of the three pastries I picked everything tasted pretty good. I don't typically like chocolate croissants but this one was light and buttery with a nice crisp on the outer layer. I also really liked the salted caramel croissant but found it really messy to eat. Great place to grab a coffee and read a book all in all. read more

Halekulani Bakery - Salted caramel croissants (left) chocolate croissant (right) cream cheese and mango (bottom) - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Came on a Saturday morning and there was a bit of a line but it moves very fast! The pastries here are super delicious!!! Our favorite was the croissant with mango/passionfruit filling - the cream was the perfect amount of sweet and the croissant itself was so buttery and crispy. The mango cream cheese bread was also super yummy! We liked the pastries more than the drinks here. Got the guava matcha - they use jam rather than syrup so a lot more fresh and natural but it was a bit challenging to taste the guava when thoroughly mixed. read more

Is this place expensive? Yes. Is it some of the best pastries I've ever had in my life? Also yes. Sometimes it's just worth it. Service is friendly and the line usually moves quick. You can eat there but I prefer to take it to go and eat on the beach nearby or save for breakfast over a day or two. read more

We loved the pastries so much from the last trip we put Halekulani on our good bucket list for this trip. Sadly, they no longer make the NY Croissants. We liked the Pistachio and the Chocolate ones. I purchased a couple of other items this trip and picked wrong. The pastries I chose were a bit on the dry side. I did order a Caramelia Salted Chocolate Chip that I polished off before I got back to the AirBnb, it was yummy. On this trip, I ordered a Chocolate Haupia Brioche which looked really tasty but even with the filling the bread was dry. I also ordered a Pobana Croissant which had a Passion Fruit, Mango and Banana filling which sounded yummy, it was a bit on the dry side too. They have a variety of other pastries so we will definitely visit again on our next trip and try some of the other pastries. Definitely put Halekulani Bakery on your list of bakeries to try. read more

It took me three tries during the high season to actually get croissants from here. The line was always so long and I just wasn't getting here early enough before they sold out (around 930, I've been told.) When I finally got my hands on the croissants, just wow. I have to say that these are some of my favorite croissants in Hawaii. I have no idea what they've done to bake croissants that stay crisp even in the Hawaii humidity. Very impressive. Service is friendly and the prices are good with the croissants priced between $5-6.50. I don't think I'd order the plain again but the valrhona chocolate (that crisp crust shatters!), passion fruit banana, and salted caramel with its gorgeous Chinese cookie topping were all fantastic. Parking is validated but Halepuna self parking was full every single time I tried. Get a ride here or walk! read more

Halekulani Bakery is located across from the Halepuna Hotel (sister hotel to the Halekulani Hotel). Plan your visit: *Hours are 6:30 - 11:30 am daily *No restroom (go to front desk of Halepuna for restroom access to the amazing Toto experience. *Parking validation is provided for the first hour in the Halekulani / Halepuna Waikiki parking lot, which is located on Kalia Road. When you arrive: The scent of heaven is in this bakery. Outdoor patio with open sun umbrellas is a good sign that the bakery is open. You should quickly walk, especially if there's no line as one will develop. Important Step: make sure your hands are available because this is a self-serve bakery. Once inside, use hand sanitizer and then grab your tongs and a tray to your left. It's important to take a deep breath before you begin your experience. Slowly walk past the baked goodies and place items on your tray. If there's a line, it can be difficult to backtrack. There are two levels of options so have your eyes wide open. Once you have reached the end of options, there are flashing menus above the checkout with drinks, made to order items, and packaged snacks. I know, this is a lot of pressure. Hot items are made to order as well as drinks. The staff are friendly and wonderful so don't be shy to ask questions. Menu highlights: *Coconut cake (slice or preorder a whole) *Pabana (passion fruit, banana, mango) croissant *vegan muffin rotation *daily quiche *freshly baked breads Personal favorites: *passion fruit croissant *shirred eggs with sourdough bread (made-to-order) *poi rolls (mini size and cute) *matcha latte *mac nut cinnamon bun (light and fluffy) Whatever you decide to eat, you'll be thrilled by the brilliant flavors and excellent talents. Ingredients are locally sourced which speaks to the fresh quality. Hot Tip: while this bakery is known for their experienced team and impressive head chef, the current head chef will be leaving shortly. I know the new one will be great and I wish the team success during this transition. Bravo to the hard work and love that goes into each tray. I can taste the aloha. read more

For my 100th review for the 2025, 100 review challenge, I share with you the bakery across the street from the famous Halekulani hotel. The bakery offers a lot of croissants, but I also came for their signature coconut cake. The ham & cheese croissant was ok, but I really enjoyed the coconut cake. It was so moist, and the fresh coconut on the frosting enhanced the texture. I didn't mind paying such a high price. The staff is super nice, and they have goods for you to pick up via tongs. They also offer sandwiches & salads. There are a few tables outside, and a few inside as I recall. HB is a great place to stop by, even if you are not staying at the hotel. read more

We stayed at the Halekulani hotel which is how we tried the bakery. I'm not sure I'd have tried it otherwise since it's small and only opens in the early mornings. So so so glad we tried because every single item is so good. Some of the unexpected items are really amazing too like the macadamia bread. All the pastries were delicious and of course their signature coconut cake. Got the guava matcha latte 3 times because it was so good! Dreaming of this place since our Hawaii trip ended! read more

Great bakery option if you are staying at the Halekulani or Halepuna. They seem to keep baking throughout the morning so you'll get different stuff later in the day although if you want some of their more popular pastries, come in the morning because they will sell out of them by 11 or 12. We tried a ton of items over the course of multiple days, and my favorite was the Halekulani signature coconut cake. Seriously, don't get bamboozled by the beautiful pastries - the cake is the thing you have to get. Among the pastries, the guava danish was my partner's favorite. I've come to realize I don't love the taste of guava but the pastry itself was excellent. The salted caramel croissant (which had bites of chocolate in it) also had great pastry execution, but was ultimately too sweet for me. The big island macademia nut sticky bun I thought would by my partner's favorite (since he loves sticky buns), but he said he preferred the pastries. I also loved the banana muffin I got because it was still warm and super moist when I got it. The gluten free carrot muffin though was a big miss, super dry. The matcha latte I didn't love - I did appreciate it had lots of foam but something didn't click for me. read more

Cute bakery/cafe. The setup is similar to Tous Le Jour where you grab a tray and tongs and pick what you like. There were a nice selection of pastries to choose from and a decent sized drink menu.

Arrived at around 8:30am and the line wasn't too bad when we arrived, but was pretty long after we made our purchase. Already ran out of the coconut brioche but there were quite a few other items to choose from. This time we picked up a couple of chocolate croissants, a tropical croissant, matcha cream bun, cornbread, raspberry pistachio croissant and a nori bread. We also ordered a couple of matcha lattes. The drop in a star was primarily for the matcha lattes. It wasn't mixed well so there were clumps of matcha on the bottom and it wasn't sweet - either it comes unsweetened or they forgot to add the sweetener. I went with the guava matcha latte and same issue - clumps of matcha on the bottom. The croissants were good. Liked the matcha cream bun, too - soft and the cream wasn't too sweet. For the nori bread, could smell the nori but the flavor didn't really come through. Thought the outside would be crunchy but it was soft. Interior soft, too - it was just ok - probably wouldn't get that again. read more

Halekulani Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Found out so many bakeries around town open super early - not sure if it's because O'ahu is full of super early birds or bakers prefer to work when the temps are lower - but mahalo to all of folks working those jobs front and back of house so we can have wonderful breakfasts to go. Got 3 pastries to eat on flight (Hawaiian Airlines hands out one meat sandwich per flight so if you don't eat that you need to bring your own). Panama was more delicately flavored than expected but delish - would be good with good unsweetened tea. The salt-caramel was a surprise - i got it for A because he usually chooses that flavor for sweets but i usually find it too cloying and one note - but this one had a good balance and was really good. The Kouign-Amann was rich and sticky but managed to not be greasy nor soggy - it elevated even in-flight coffee. Def would go back and get more things. want to try their cakes, too. read more

I was exploring the shops near our hotel one morning and noticed a line out the door for Halekulani Bakery. I had to investigate! Upon entry, you pick up a large piece of wood that has been carved into a tray, and some tongs. Pick your pastries and move to the counter to pay. They box up the pastries if you are taking them to go and order coffee or anything else. It's part of the Halekulani hotel so you can charge to your room as well. It's a great bakery with many pastries and everything we tried was delicious. The pastries are mostly around $7 each. They were crisp, flakey, and chewy, as they should be. The coffee was good and the line moves pretty quickly. We returned a second time and tried some different things. It was all good. read more

Clean, well-stocked, and definitely popular at 630am! Might be a tourist spot given the time, but this bakery is absolutely perfect for the jetlagged customer. Stopped in a little after 6:45am and there were a lot of people inside already! Though thankfully no line! The coffee menu is basic but perfect for what I needed. I got an iced oatmilk latte and an iced macnut latte (loved the latter which wasn't too sweet!). Pastries all looked amazing and I ended up with a chocolate croissant and a guava Danish! The guava danish center was a bit too thick and sweet for my personal preference but the guava flavor in the jam was darn good. Pretty addictive. BUT my favorite though was the chocolate croissant - it was perfect, sweetness, texture, flakiness...yum! I'll be back tomorrow since the hotel is next door and my friend said that the coconut cake is an absolute must-try! Definitely worth stopping in for your coffee and pre-breakfast breakfast! :) read more

After walking by many times, I finally stopped in to Halekulani Bakery and will definitely be going back on my next trip. Conveniently located by Beachwalk and across the street from the Halekulani Hotel, it boasts a pretty large space with nice outdoor and Indoor seating areas and self-serve pastry selection. I was very try impressed by their selection (and gluten free options) and a lot of the pastries incorporated local tropical fruits. My favorite was the guava danish which was a perfect breakfast for the beach. As I mentioned the gluten free options, I don't know how they do it but it didn't taste gluten free and the muffin was pretty delicious. Lastly I topped off this visit with an iced macadamia nut latte with soy and that went perfectly with the pastries. A visit here is a great way to start your morning and it won't break the bank. read more

Went on a Sunday morning around 10 am. They still had most of the pastries available when we went. I decided to get a coconut croissant and a piece of the coconut cake since i heard good things. The croissant was around $5 and the cake was $14. I think the price was a bit steep. The cake slices are on the smaller side as well, so it was hard to justify $14. Although it was expensive, the cake was delicious. It was not too sweet and was super fluffy. It has a filling inside and lots of coconut flakes on the outside. If you love coconut, I recommend trying at least once. read more

Halekulani Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

One of my favorite places to get pastries in the Waikiki area. There is some street parking available nearby, but it might be easier to walk depending on if you are staying somewhere nearby in the city. There's one large table inside and a few smaller tables outside. They put a lot of care into their pastries and each one is full of flavor and looks perfectly made. My favorite things to order are the pabana croissants and the coconut cake. The pastries are self service so each customer will grab a tray and tongs then place whichever items they want on the tray. Their croissants have the perfect crisp on the outside and are light and airy in the middle. They're packed with flavor and made for a really good snack. The coconut cake is very light and fluffy and is one of their best items. You can either purchase it as an entire cake or just by the slice. Although the price range is on the higher end, these are definitely worth a try based on the quality. read more
