Ko Bakery is a locally owned Hawaiian inspired, bakery and coffee shop in Lihue. They specialize in cakes and craft coffee drinks. I was just celebrating my birthday with some family and was craving coconut cake. Ko really came through with an outstanding cake delicate Italian buttercream frosting with a subtle hint of lime paired with a lilikoi filling. It was one of the best cakes I have had in a long time. It was not overly sweet, but the flavor was perfect. I thought the lady I spoke to over. The phone was very nice and in the store the service was friendly. The inside of the store was simple and clean and the premade pastry options were displayed at the front of the store in the refrigerated cases. read more

Trendy, clean, modern ambiance and delicious coffee and goodies at Ko Bakery. Great place to pick up Omiyage for friends and family. They have a great selection on cookies, biscotti, packaged Kauai coffee and pastries to take home. The snickerdoodle cookie was delicious! I also had a cold brew that was so tasty and refreshing. Highly recommend for their coffee and baked items. The front staff was friendly and patient as I decided what to pick up. Wil visit again on my next trip out to Kauai. read more

My husband and I traveled to the island with some family and friends to have a very small intimate wedding in February. I ordered the cake a month in advance after lots of back and forth with Candi. She answered all my questions and showed lots of patience with me since I didn't answer quickly and always had more questions. The day of our ceremony, we drove to pick up the cake. Staff were welcoming and very helpful. When we cut into it that night, the cake was moist, flavorful, and absolutely perfect for our little wedding. My only regret was I had none to bring home with me. Thank you all for helping make our day absolutely perfect! read more

Amazing scones (lillikoi, bananas foster and pineapple were the ones we tried) and friendly service.

We were visiting Kauai in celebration of my wife's birthday and I ordered a cake in advance from the mainland. We received a friendly confirmation from Candi and everything went very smoothly. "The Triple Threat" was made with high quality chocolate and was delicious. But the real threat I discovered was the best cookie I've ever had - the Coco Oat Scotchie. Coconut! Oats! Butterscotch! I saw it in the case while picking up the cake and had to have one...and then a couple of days later, I went back....and then again the day before we left. We met Candi at the store and she was as friendly as could be, and recommended some GREAT Hawaiian Turtle Mochas! She was awesome and very helpful. Can't recommend this place highly enough! read more

Delicious coffee. Smooth. Good pasteries. Loved the pumpkin sample. Wanted more. Staff is pleasant and very helpful.

This bakery is located in an industrial building across the street from one of the best plate lunch places around. Although their modern showroom was sleek and somewhat bare, the service I received was top notch. I didn't have enough appetite for more than a carrot ginger cake and macchiato, but boy were these great. The barista was very friendly and made an excellent drink for me. Just the right amount of everything to make a super rich espresso and the foam was fluffy and blanketed my caffeine. The cake was supremely moist and spiked with a ginger punch. Just the right amount of shredded carrots to make one think you're being somewhat healthy and the frosting had a sour cream twang. Overall one of the more decadent desserts of the day. I wish I took a better picture as this photo really does not do justice for the dessert. I'm anxious to come back and get more coffee and sweets. read more

Ordered a wedding cake from this bakery and WHOA was it amazing!!! They even delivered to the event-- had zero worries (which is needed on a wedding day) everyone loved the cakes and the bakery even flavored the icing so uniquely which took my tastebuds away :) Thank you Ko Bakery!! read more

Not too bad. Not too bad at all... Now we wouldn't make a special trip to go here (i.e. we were in the neighborhood) but if you're looking to satisfy a sweet tooth this place will probably do ya up right nice... read more

My husband and I got married at the Sheraton Kauai resort in March 2024. We ordered the 12in Tropical dream cake with coconut for cake cutting and also mini cheesecakes, cupcakes, and cookies for our late night snack/dessert bar for guests. The cake was beautiful and we are so happy we got to enjoy it after our wedding as well. Morris was always quick to respond to my email inquiries and delivered without any issues on our wedding day. I highly recommend Ko bakery for desserts and events. read more

We ordered a smaller cake for pick up on a recent trip to Kauai. The flavor offerings all sound amazing and such a treat compared to bakeries back home- passionfruit- yes please! The ordering system and payment process was seamless. Picked up the cake in the am and had it in the pm. Followed the process to remove from fridge many hours prior to serving. Flavor was delicious, but the sponge was very dry and almost dense. Texture of cake was very disappointing, but flavor was above and beyond. read more

Excellent pies and cakes! Always friendly, love to walk in and see what new items they have.

I had ordered a carrot ginger cake for our 10 year anniversary and it was amazing. We grabbed a delicious coffee while picking up the cake and it was the best coffee we have had ever. Great bakery with lots of tasty items. read more

Amazing place! We have ordered a cake for our special occasion from Ko Bakery and communicated about the order details over the email with Candi. She is wonderful. Not only she was quick in response but took her time to write detailed cake, filling, and decoration description. We've got a lilikoi cake with Hawaiian flowers and it was beyond delicious: light cream not too sweet, lilikoi filling and yummy sponge. Very happy with how everything turned out and super grateful to Candi and owner Chris for how easy the process was! read more

Ordered a lilikoi passion cake for my wife's birthday through the bakery's website. It was a quick and easy experience - just remember the cutoff to order is 2 days prior to pickup. Picking up the cake was very easy as well. Online orders require pre-payment, so pickup just required my name. This was my first time ordering a cake from Ko; the clerk explained the process to ensure the best eating experience. Our family loved the flavor and texture of the cake. Ko bakery: thank you for putting the icing on the cake... figuratively and literally! read more

Ko Bakery - Birthday cake. - Bakeries Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Always our go to right off the plane for their great breve coffee! We always get the scones and of course, the lilikoi tart!

Ordered the lili koi dream cake (I believe is the name) which was 6 inches with the addition of some fresh orchids for an extra $10 for a total price of $55. For 6 adults and 1 toddler this cake was the perfect size. It was a very beautiful cake, however the cake itself was pretty gross in taste. The cake was noticeably not fresh and the frosting was hard and almost crumbly in a strange way. It was such a disappointment as we ordered this cake in advance of our trip to celebrate our cousins 60th birthday and none of the 6 adults and toddler could finish their piece, nor was anyone interested in any leftovers the next day. This is especially saying a lot for all of us cake lovers, including my toddler who would do anything to have unlimited access to cake. So so bummed. We didn't want to make a big deal out of it but after thinking about it for 2 days, we decided to call them and let them know and thankfully they were very accommodating to making a new cake or offer a refund - sadly we were leaving the next morning so we took the refund option. We were told that sometimes cake are made in advance and frozen because of the humidity. The staff were very kind and apologetic so I would have loved to give them another chance. I would recommend you request a freshly made cake if ordering from them. read more

I'm always looking for good bakeries and Ko Bakery is now added to my list. We went here a few times during our recent trip to Kauai. I enjoyed their Mocha which wasn't overly sweet and brought-out the flavor of the beans. I really enjoyed their Lilikoi White Chocolate Scone, Very Blueberry Scone, Banana Fosters Scone and their Pineapple Upside-Down Cake. All their bakery items are freshly made and delicious. The flavors of all their pastry items were awesome and their scones weren't dry like some others I've had from other bakeries. Service is excellent and we were treated very well. There are a few parking spaces in their lot and there is also street parking available. read more

I live in CA and my daughter was in kauai on vacation during her birthday. I called Ko Bakery to see if they could help me out with delivering a cake with balloons to my daughters hotel, they were so accommodating and helpful. My daughter received her beautiful cake with her balloons just the way I wanted it to be and the date and correct delivery time.. my daughter loved it, cake was delicious and everything was wonderful. I highly recommend this wonderful bakery and would do it again. THANK YOU SO MUCH LADIES! L. Steybe read more

Really loved this spot! Super sad they aren't open on Sundays because I sure do love my iced coffee and pastry on weekends. Today we tried the cinnamon rolls, which were incredibly delicious! Cream cheese icing and all! The girls working had great attitudes and customer service. They were super helpful and sweet for dealing with all my questions! I really appreciated all of the help. The bakery/coffee shop opens early at 8am and still there were a few customers in the bakery. It's a really nice, new, clean building which looks great and inviting. I hope that in the future they will have some sitting area so we can eat and drink there instead of taking it home. Definitely one of my new favorite places, will be back for sure! read more

Very flavorful and buttery pastries. I stopped here twice over a few days and we tried the lilikoi, pineapple and banana foster scones which were all delicious. A littler more expensive than some of the other bakeries near by but I'd say it's worth the price. read more

I love, love, love Ko Bakery's cookies. Each time I'm on the island, I always stop by one of their shops to pick up many bagfuls to munch on. I assumed that their cakes would be on par with how delicious their cookies were. For my parent's vow renewal, we ordered two huge cakes. One was pog flavor and the other was the lilikoi. We were so excited for the cake. It was more important than the ceremony to us because we love sweets and cakes. Unfortunately, the cakes ended up being dry. Ordering and service were great. I still picked up many bags of the cookies though. Just disappointed with the cakes. read more

This was in my radar due to the great reviews and various places to eat articles. We happened to go to Mark's Place for lunch and I knew I had to walk over. Everyone that works at Ko is crazy friendly! I felt so welcomed! The lilikoi cheesecake is phenomenal! The brownies were perfect! Their cold brew was very good too! Swing by here if you happen to be going to Costco/Safeway! read more

Okay Y'all.... This establishment is, no joke, The most amazing Bakery on Kauai! Let me rephrase the last statement! Ko' Bakery is the most amazing Bakery that I have ever been to! Tucked away in an industrial park, but easy to find! Pre ordered the Carrot Ginger Cake! OMG, the best ever! I can not say enough about this Bakery. The aesthetic of Ko' is on point and very clean! The gentleman at the counter was welcoming and friendly. Made the most delicious iced coffee! Everything in the case and the cold box looked delicious! Local's and travelers alike, try this most amazing Bakery! read more

Great tasting cake! My family and I visited from San Diego and I pre-ordered it with no issues.

I love this bakery!! I will travel from the North shore just for all their stuff. It's so delicious. I wasn't a cake person until I tried their cakes. I have tried a lot of their flavors and they all soooo delicious!! I had surgery today and all I wanted to eat was anything from their bakery. Boxes/bags later made my recovery much happier. They are always so nice and helpful. If you haven't tried them, you need to go!!! read more

My husband and I came to Kauai to celebrate our 30th anniversary with a vow renewal. We contacted Ko Bakery and placed an order for two 6" cakes - his & hers since my husband loves carrot cake and I love chocolate. Morris accommodated our special requests and delivered two beautiful little cakes. The chocolate cake was delicious but I have to say the carrot ginger cake is amazing! Dense, moist cake with beautiful ginger notes coming through. Not your typical carrot cake. I will be ordering this from the mainland in the future to have shipped to us. Thank you Ko Bakery for helping make our day so special! read more

I accidentally stumbled into this cute shop during my 3-hour layover. i got the chocolate tart cake and mint chocolate chip cookies. Originally the plan was to share them but after tasting how delicious they were, i kept them to myself, knowing that I couldnt buy more unless I return to the island from California. Absolutely love the crunchy texture of the cookies. read more
