If you are in Lihue, this is a MUST visit for the BEST coffee and pastries on the island. The staff were all super friendly and very Covid cautious. Ko Bakery makes most of their own coffee syrups and supplies the island with the most delicious cakes. Stop in and order the white chocolate mocha with coconut and caramel drizzle, you will NOT be disappointed. read more

Ordered a specialty cake for a birthday. We requested a speciality combination with passion fruit curd. Morris went out of his way to work with us to make sure that we would be happy with the result- and the cake did not disappoint. It was absolutely delicious and met every expectation we had for both quality and service. You can't find a better bakery in the island. read more

Fantastic cake! We enjoyed every bite of the Dakine with peanut butter flavor. Well worth the price to have such a high quality masterpiece for our Kauai celebration. Thank you! Just make sure you read the directions for pickup closely on the website. read more

Ko Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

My daughter needed to get a wedding cake for her destination wedding and had heard that this bakery had delicious cakes. We weren't able to get to Kauai to try any cakes but ordered one anyway. We took an unexpected trip to Kauai about a month before the wedding and asked our friend to take us to the bakery thinking maybe they would have some slices we could buy to try. We were so excited. There was no other customers besides my friends and I and the female behind the counter just stood there and watched us. I asked her if they had any haupia slices for sale because my daughter ordered a cake and I was wanting to try it. She looked at me and pointed to the refrigerator and said that's all we have with an unhappy face. That reaction brought all of us down. I still wanted to get something from here since I was so excited. I bought a scone. Still not one word from the worker. So disappointing!! Service is such a big deal for me. I didn't expect anything other than to try a good piece of cake but I will never go back! Bad service and they could care less about customer. read more

This place was fantastic. I ordered a 6" chocolate with vanilla buttercream for my husbands birthday. We arrived late Friday so had it delivered to our hotel. Process was easy and everything went as planned! The cake itself... oh so delicious! Every night before dinner we would set it out to get it to room temp and have dessert on our Lanai. Would highly recommend and can't wait to try other flavors when returning to the island! read more

This bakery made my daughters sweet 16 cake. It was beautiful and tasted delicious! Thank you so much for creating such a masterpiece!

This bakery is fantastic!! We ordered two cakes for our family over Thanksgiving, the Koloa rum caramel bundt, and the pumpkin crunch. Both cakes were so delicious, we loved them. I was able to order very easily online, they were quick to respond to my email request. We arranged for pickup the day before the holiday, and everything was ready to go when we got to the shop. They are centrally located in Lihue, very easy to find. And they make amazing coffee, and had a ton of great pastry available. Very friendly, great bakery find on the island. read more

Well we didn't get to but the actual store location but we did meet up with the owners at the Saturday Farmers Market at Kauai Community College. We enjoyed tasting most of the flavors of the biscotti - and bought a few. We missed out on the cakes, but certainly will look forward to it on our next visit. Be sure to make this a stop or if you're local this is the place to order that special cake!! read more

I accidentally we to their bakery that isn't a retail store, but the owner was nice enough to sell me some macaroons that were superb. They do custom order cakes and other items. I'll order something next time I'm in Kauai. read more

We walked the shops Saturday night and came across their cakes. Holy Hell Batman!!! Believe is when we say they are seriously the most perfect cake EVER! We got the triple chocolate cake and it didn't last long. WOW, just WOW!!! read more

This bakery is amazing! Not only are the baked goods delicious but they have a full coffee bar! The espresso is to die for!!! The owners are some of the nicest people ever. Walking into this bakery truly put a smile on my face. read more

Hidden spot in a little industrial area, but it won't disappoint for coffee and pastry treats! Get the Hawaiian Turtle Latte and you won't be disappointed! Homemade ingredients and next level flavor! The Lilikoi bar was delicious! One of the owners was there and he was so kind. He happily shared recommendations for other food and drink options around the island with us. We stumbled on this place but I'd now recommend it to anyone! read more

I have long been a biscotti fan and now recommend their wedding cakes to my clients. Taste, presentation, and quality ingredients makes this a 5 star experience. Looking forward to tasting more items when I can make it to a store or market that is not sold out. read more

Ko Bakery is FANTASTIC! I am a huge fan of their lilikoi (passionfruit) white chcolate scones, and buy a week's worth every time I drive into Lihue from the north shore (where I live). I ordered a chocolate lilikoi cake for a pot luck birthday party I was attending. While I expected the cake to be yummy, I didn't expect it to be out-of-this-world yummy, and all the dinner guests raved and raved about it. In fact, the five of us who had just had a very large dinner with heavy appetizers, ate more than half of the large, 9-inch cake. And then there was a discussion about how much each of us would take back home to enjoy the next day. Run, do not walk, to Ko Bakery -- and get some amazing yummmies in your tummy! Thanks, Morris and Chris. See you soon! read more

Came in looking for an iced coffee while we waited for our to go order at Mark's place. Unfortunately they didn't have iced coffee but they did have some delicious looking pastries. We opted for a chocolate macadamia nut cookie, peanut butter cookie, and Lillikoi cheesecake. All 3 were incredible. I can't say that I've ever had a more delicious cookie than the Choc chip cookie they made. It was crisp, chewy, and stuffed full of chips and nuts. It was so good i had to share bites with my sister and her husband... it was too good not to share. read more

Stopped into this place after eating across the street at Marks, and we were blown away! The coffee and treats were absolutely delicious. Don't be fooled by the simple and unassuming exterior- the food was rich, extremely well flavored, decadent, and out of this world! Enjoy!!! read more

WOW! So, after our wedding cake was cancelled by the resort 5 weeks before our wedding, I called Morris at Ko Bakery. He was AWESOME! We ordered at two tier cake decorated with purple and white flowers and it was absolutely beautiful! The flavor was coconut butter cake and passion fruit filling/butter cream. It was delicious and beautiful. It was delivered right on time and I couldn't be happier! Thank you Morris and Ko Bakery for adding a beautiful sweet touch to the perfect wedding dinner! read more

Mahalo, Ko Bakery for making my daughter's wedding day extra special with the beautiful and extremely Ono wedding cake. It was perfectly delicious and elegant! read more

Wanted a lovely cake to help celebrate my parents' 50th anniversary. Saw the luscious pictures on their website and decided on the strawberry-buttercream frosted cake...It was delivered directly to our door and devoured soon after! Yum! Everyone enjoyed their slice and my teenagers wished we'd ordered the biggest size! read more

The cake was good, but locating the bakery was another story. Maybe have them deliver, it'll be much easier!

We used to just see these guys at the Farmers Market and loved their scones! This time in Kauai we didn't see them at the market, so I looked them up and found they have a brick and mortar place now...yea! Still great scones and sticky buns. I tried their lillikoi bar which was outstanding too. Definitely a must visit.. read more

We had Ko Bakery create our wedding cake, 2 tier mango coconut with beautiful orchid flowers. We also had an additional "side cake" that was chocolate with toasted coconut to please chocolate lovers in the family. Everyone loved both cakes and were unable to pick a favorite! A couple things to note, order early because we almost missed out on an incredible cake experience because Ko is extremely popular. Cakes do well in the Kauai weather and taste best when left out for a few hours to allow the butter cream to soften. Great customer service and worked with us to design the perfect cakes! read more

We ordered three 6-inch cakes and one cheesecake for our wedding reception on July 01, 2016. We tried the Haupia Lime, Banana Split, Chocolate Espresso and a Turtle Cheesecake. Every flavor was absolutely delicious!! You could literally hear moans and gasps during cake service. There was not a sliver left when we were finished. We couldn't have been happier with the service and choice of flavors. Thank you for the delicious addition to our wedding! read more

We were looking for some baked goods for our breakfast while on vacation and stumbled on Ko Bakery. It was almost closing time so our expectations were a little lower as to what would be available. As it turned out, we needn't have worried. Yes the selection was smaller due to time of day but everything we bought was absolutely delicious. We bought four different kinds of scones and a mini pineapple upside down cake. The scones were quite rich with wonderful flavor combinations. My fav was the pecan ginger. The lili koi white chocolate was wonderful. My husband enjoyed his blueberry one and the pineapple coconut. The pineapple upside down cake was delightful warmed up. We went back the next day for more goodies for our grandkids. They happily devoured the chocolate chip cookies. Thank you Ko Bakery! read more

For the 2016 holidays, we found ourselves behind schedule in ordering gifts for our clients. So we asked Chris if he could expedite our $500 order and he delivered in two stages within three days. Everything was fresh and crisp to our delight. Clients were thrilled that we remembered them with such special gifts from the Islands. Bravo!! read more

We were lucky enough to walk by the boy's stall at the "First Saturday" event last weekend in Kapa'a. Besides looking awesome, their cakes were selling very quickly. By the time we made it back, almost everything was sold out. We were fortunate enough to grab the last slice of the mango and pineapple cake. Boy oh boy was it delicious ! Get yourself to their shop in Lihue... In fact, RUN! read more

This review is solely for our wedding cake. Our wedding was suppose to happen in April. We met with Morris and crew back in November to do a cake tasting. They set the table with a bunch of options and it felt really special. They really took time just for the tasting. Well Covid happened and our wedding got cancelled, twice. Both times, Morris was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was kind, understanding, and willing to be flexible with all our requests. We decided on a whim to just have our ceremony and Morris worked with us on very short notice. Our cake was delivered and absolutely gorgeous. He really listened specially to what I wanted. It was EXACTLY what I asked for. Now, how it tasted.. I'll preface by saying I don't like frosting, and I'm more of a pie person than a cake person. However, this cake was probably one of the best I've ever had. The frosting was light, and there was just the perfect amount of frosting to cake. Our base layer was lilikoi pineapple. And omg, so amazing. There were chunks of real pineapple in there. Sooo good. Our top layer was ko caramel and equally as amazing. Our guests fought over who got to take cake home. I will, for sure, be using ko bakery and their amazing staff for all of our future cake needs. Thank you, Morris, for being such a pleasure to work with. read more

Delicious and beautiful cake! I ordered my wedding cake from KO Bakery and it was truly wonderful. Morris is super great to work with. I sent Morris a picture and described what I wanted my cake to look like and it turned out even better than I imagined. I really appreciate a wedding cake that looks so pretty but actually taste just as good. I am so glad I choose this bakery for my special day! read more

Ko Bakery made our wedding cake this past December and it was fabulous! Morris and I exchanged many emails and phone calls and he was always professional and was a great communicator. I wanted to involve my daughter in the cake decorating process and they were great at helping me come up with ideas for what she could do to be involved. Everything about our cake was perfect. read more

Morris at Ko Bakery was great!! We had the most beautiful perfect wedding cake! I couldn't have imagined it any better. The cake was so moist and the lilikoi frosting in the middle gave the perfect little touch of Hawaiian flavor. If you're looking for a cake that is not only beautiful but also delicious I would highly recommend Ko Bakery! Also their prices were very reasonable! read more

Just got back from a beautiful destination wedding on Kauai, and we wanted to give a huge shout out to Morris at Ko Bakery for his suggestion to go with the POG wedding cake! Our guests raved over how delicious and beautiful our wedding cake turned out! With flavors like this, who needs a before wedding tasting. Amazing flavor, amazing service, amazing delivery to our reception location. Highly recommend! read more

This bakery is Delicious! We were able to to get a gorgeous and more importantly yummy cake for an impromptu island birthday party. Our cake was a triple layer chocolate with a light and delicious raspberry cream frosting. The customer service was outstanding and I can't wait to come back to Kauai to try more of their delicious offerings. read more

It simply does not get any better than Ko Bakery! I sought a bakery that was creative, clean, and operated in complete excellence and professionalism - Morris and his staff delivered beyond my expectations. We hired Ko Bakery to create my 50th Birthday cake. I spoke with Morris over the phone, and I sensed someone who clearly was comfortable with what I was seeking. We began further dialogue via number emails, where he took my ideas to the next level with his creative insight. I was thrilled! When I reached Kauai, he also went out of his way to meet me at certain spots to minimize extra travel time! That meant a lot to me because it allowed me to enjoy my vacation more with less time driving around the island. It also was a breath of fresh air having someone who was very kind and reasonable with his prices. He even went out of his way to locate a rare orchid that I had requested for my cake. That is a testament to KoBakery's ability to go beyond the call of duty. That meant so much to me! And needless to say the cake was AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS!!! It was so incredibly yummy - whew!! Thank you Morris for helping to make my 50th birthday so special! Ladies and gentlemen hands down, KoBakery is the place! Look no further! Mahalo! read more

BEST birthday cake ever! Can't go wrong with these guys, but the Lilikoi chocolate ganache cake is divine.

Had our wedding cake done here and it was sooooooooo good! And so unique! I LOVE CAKE! So for me it was very important for my wedding to experience the whole cake tasting thing. We got to the island a few days before our wedding and were able to do cake tasting and decide what we wanted our cake to be and have it completed on a Sunday, a day they normally are closed. Chris definitely catered to us and delivered exactly what we wanted! The flavors of everything were so delicious, we had never had anything like it. The cake itself was beautiful with purple orchids cascading down. Our flavors consisted of passion fruit (lilikoi) and toasted coconut for one tier and carmel and vanilla for another. Everyone loved it! We would recommend this place for sure, there are so many different unique flavors, something for everyone! read more

The best wedding cake I have ever consumed! I had a huge piece at my daughters wedding because everyone was raving about the cake. I was not disappointed. Yum! I wish I had a piece of the coconut lime cake right now! It's worth every single calorie. read more
