We got there pretty early but apparently not early enough...the case was pretty bare with only a few pastry items left. I thought they had stuffed malasadas but they did not. Only small plain ones. They were decent but really wanted the stuffed ones. Ordered a ham and cheese roll, fried rice omelette with gravy and a BLT sandwich to go. Everything was tasty. Would recommend going super early if you want a bigger selection of pastries read more

Small business bakery. The owner was very kind. I went in late in the day and told her I was looking for the crab pastry's which were already sold out. She held some for me the following day. It was much appreciated! She even recommended the Portuguese sausage pastry over the crab one. And she was not lying! It was the best! If you come to Kaua'i, this bakery is a must try! Believe me you will want to go back for another Portuguese sausage pasty the next day. Get two or three! lol you won't regret it! read more

Stopped by for some crab rolls which I can't get back home. My favorite crab roll spot on the island closed down but knew we had to stop by and fulfill the craving. They offered spicy crab rolls here which my husband said were better than the regular ones. Had the pork manapua whoch was a little too wet for my liking but my husband liked it. My favorite of all was the apple pastry. So delicious we fought over it. Breakfast is served all day and I want to come back for the kimchee fried rice omelette (reasonably priced). Employee said it has a kick to it. Will update when I do! read more

Cute little bakery but don't expect too much from it. The gentleman came to the counter from the back when he heard us walk in. He didn't say much, maybe a hello but more. I looked around a the few items behind the glass and the nicely packaged cookies contemplating on what I should order and it was obvious I was contemplating Yet he still didn't offer any suggestions or recommendations. Oh well. You can't really go wrong with shortbread cookies. I decided to get the Portuguese sausage bun/bread and a box full of cookies. The items were pretty much like the personality at the counter... read more

Ahhh... Hanalima!! I missed out on all your goodness. I was not a good planner and we went there mid-morning on Thanksgiving. The display case was CLEANED OUT. We were too late...There was not one spicy crab roll or portuguese sausage roll left. Not a one... I was so sad. The gentleman came out from the kitchen to help us but they were only doing order pick ups for Thanksgiving that morning. Everything was spoken for. I will plan accordingly next time and make sure not to miss out. We had some of their delicious baked goods at the local farmers market right by their shop on Saturdays. It used to be across the street at Kauai Community College... Now it's to the side of Hanalima at the expansive grass lot. Hope to be back on Kauai very soon... Will go to Hanalima as soon as I get my rental. A hui hou. read more

This used to be our go to spot for great breakfast burritos and savory pastries. I don't know if it's inflation or what but it is NOT THE same. We got a burrito and there was no meat and asked for extra cheese and instead got no cheese. Also the size of burrito used to be HUGE now they're smaller than a Taco Bell breakfast burrito. Hope this isn't another one going out of business read more

Friendly service but the crab roll was underwhelming. It was like 95% bread and a barely few pieces of crab. Granted it's a roll, it was pretty dry and probably not worth $3.80 after taxes to me. I arrived around 9ish so not sure if that's a factor if they baked it prior to 6am opening. Plus, there was a fly roaming in the glass container unbeknownst to them. read more

I stopped by here earlier today with my wife for breakfast. We had driven by the Hanalima Bakery a number of times while on Kauai and so on this day decided to give it a try. The inside of this shop is somewhat small with a display case, cooler and then a menu above/behind the counter. On the day that we were eating there the lady behind the counter was pleasant. After looking over all of the items in the display case I ultimately decided on the spicy crab roll while my wife went with the bacon and egg croissant. Prices here were reasonable as both of our items cost maybe $3 or so. As soon as I got in the car I dug into my crab roll. It was delicious as they yeasted dough was present and around the edges you could really taste the crab. They weren't kidding about the spice either as it was strong but perfect for the roll in my opinion. Later on in the day I was also able to try my wife's croissant which was tasty as it was light and flaky while the eggs and bacon inside were nice. The bottom line for me is that I would come back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed the savory baked goods which we had purchased and I thought that the prices were more than reasonable too! read more

Amazing pastries!!!! And the lady was very nice who was helping us!!! Definitely stop by if you are in the area!

Located near the airport. We landed early in the morning and was starving. So we went to grab something small before driving to our destination. This bakery popped up on yelp and opened early in the morning. We walked in and there wasn't too much pastry left. The cashier looked impatient since we were taking too long to think what to get. But hey it was first time here so gotta make sure we get the right type of pastry to try. We got the crab roll and the blueberry roll. Crab roll was bits and pieces of crab in the bread. Not much flavoring. The blueberry roll was like a cinnamon bun with blueberry jam flavor inside. Not too sweet. Wanted to get spicy crab roll but they don't have. Pricing was ok. Kind of expensive for a small piece. Spent almost $6 for 2 bread. Small parking lot and shared with other shops around the area. We came really early so it was quite empty. read more

Little hole in the wall bakery. I had the crab bun, the Portuguese, sausage bun, and the flying saucer. Only negative about this review is that there is not a lot of meat in these buns. My favorite was the Portuguese sausage bun. It was very tasty. Second favorite was the flying saucer which had very little ceiling in it. It would've been so much better if there was more meat, because the bread of these buns are amazing. Crab and was just OK. read more

Amazing local spot on Kauai! My husband and I had a wonderful late breakfast here right before closing. They were super nice and helpful when asking about certain items on the menu. Sadly they were out of the savory rolls before we arrived but will for sure be coming back before the honeymoon is done to grab a spicy crab roll!!! Must Try spot on the island! read more

Hanalima Bakery - Apple and Blueberry Rolls - Bakeries Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

This bakery is open only on the weekdays and until 1pm. Since they run out of rolls quickly, you may want to do a quick detour before you start your strenuous hike in the island. It is also conveniently located less than 10 minutes away from the Lihue airport, for those looking for a quick and cheap bite before their flight (I'm typing this as we are driving to the airport). I honestly don't know why some people complained about the rolls not having enough meat. For $2.44, the rolls did more than enough for me. The spicy crab roll has a nice kick and was my favorite. My boyfriend loved the Portuguese sausage roll. The meat is minced and spread around layers of the roll, which I prefer over a thick chunk of sausage in the middle of a roll. The blueberry roll was too sweet for me, but again, my boyfriend was a fan. Disclaimer though, he'd eat glue if it were sweet. They also have other lunch items and spam musubi for those interested. So, get a few rolls and swallow them whole the moment you get back to your car. You won't regret it. read more

Tiny little bakery with some delicious options Crab roll: 4.5 stars, the bites that we had with the crab and butter were delicious. Just wish there was a little bit more crab. Portuguese sausage roll: 4 stars, loved that it was chock full of sausage, but having eaten it right after the crab roll, it took a backseat to that Roasted pork roll: 4.5 stars, also chock full of roast pork, was super tasty and filling. Coming back as soon as I can! Especially for the crab and rost pork rolls read more

Hanalima is an unassuming local bakery that closes at 1PM and sells out of most of its baked deliciousness well before that time. The locals know to get here early in the morning. I've learned to call ahead, and ask them to save a couple of their spicy crab rolls for me. This is the only bakery that sells the Kauai flying saucer (bread filled with sloppy joe) all year round. Get the spicy crab rolls and flying saucer warmed up. Another tasty tidbit is the "bango" (banana and mango) bread, which goes well with a cup of coffee. The bakery is closed on weekends and holidays, so if you're on the island for only a holiday weekend, you'll miss out. read more

Order placed for travel back to another island. Requested to have sweet items packaged separately from savory ones. All items were boxed together and loose sugar transferred to the savory treats. Aside from this, their items were tasty. Better if they weren't mixed. read more

It's OK. I get that it's a local favorite with history and nostalgia, but we didn't get the ALOHA welcome or feel if the Island here. We walked in and no greeting, no first time here? No nothing. Food is good, but nothing exceptional. We tried the malasada, Portuguese sausage roll, crab roll, and apple turnover and a box of cookies. The cookies were the best. I so wanted this place ti live up to the reviews but sadly "no". read more

My friends and I came here because one of our friend's sister absolutely loves this place for their cookies. However, it looked pretty empty when we walked in but that's probably because we went closer to lunch time. We were probably supposed to go in earlier ... oops. The bakery is fairly small and by the time we went in, there weren't that many pastries out. Also, we saw a fly flying around the pastries INSIDE the case ... it even landed on one of the baked goods. *Shudders* ... Wasn't exactly what I wanted to see if I wanted to eat here but hey, what can you expect right? I ended up with a box of their assorted butter cookies and I also ordered an fried rice omelette from them. The butter cookies were very good, very light and it practically crumbled in my mouth. But I wouldn't say they were out of the world or anything. As for the fried rice omelette, they actually topped with it with gravy and cheese. I actually did not realize that they put gravy on it ... I'm not exactly a fan of gravy. The egg was very nice, it wasn't well done or anything, it was exactly right -- so no hardness .. almost the same texture as scrambled eggs. The rice on the other hand didn't really have much flavor to it. Overall, decent place. Nothing too wowzers but nothing too horribad either. Average. read more

Hanalima Bakery - Rice omelette with gravy and cheese on top. - Bakeries Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Cookie assortments I bought to bring back as omiyage tasted a little rancid?! They looked great, just didn't care for the taste.

Good but not great. I was excited to come here, based on the other reviews, but I thought that the food was just okay. We tried their portuguese sausage rolls and breakfast burritos. The meat on the sausage roll and burrito was sparse and uneven--neither really stood out to me. The burritos were cooked to order, but were otherwise a bit small and not particularly exciting. While I appreciate what this place is going for, I can't see myself coming back anytime soon. read more

TIP: Go early and get the best pastries on island before they sell out! Also, add a breakfast plate to those pastries and fill your stomach up! I love Hanalima Bakery! The owners are such sweet people. I never have to wait long for my food to be made and their pastries make my mouth drool through the glass case. The prices are incredibly reasonable too. This was my go-to spot (especially since I was a KCC student). Best place to get some pastries for friends, family, and staff too! read more

No one was there when we got there (6:30am). Nice prices, good food. You know it's good when the place fills up with workers.
