I'm convinced people spend $3.5 million dollars on a house in Hanalei for one reason: chocolate macadamia nut scones. I should be apologizing for to the locals around me who are coming for their daily bread. The lines are long - rightfully so - but anticipation isn't built quickly. Block off your morning for this. Hanalei Bread Company will be the reason why I waste my retirement savings and my children's college fund for a 1/6 ownership in a condo I can't afford. Surely they can't do bread AND great coffee. Bury me in property taxes too. The macchiato (there's only one kind) was perfectly creamy, strong, and served in a perfectly sized 3 oz cup. Don't leave the island without coming here.

I got the Fancy Toast with salmon and it had a TON of salmon, but I couldn't really taste any of the other ingredients. The pastrami sandwich was a little greasy but a good portion. We also tried the cinnamon and strawberries & cream pastries, which were good but nothing crazy. Maybe I'm spoiled coming from LA, but it tasted like any other coffee shop to me. Not bad, just not worth the wait and probably wouldn't come back.

The location is in the Foodland center with tables to eat nearby, there is no entrance you order from a window . Unfortunately the cashier was not very welcoming on arrival.

Expect to pay close to $20 for a sandwich if you decide to try it out. K

The prices seem reasonable, but I wasn't really impressed with the taste. The seating is limited, but the area is really cute.

Wow! So sad we waited so long to try this place during our stay in Hanalei…read more Let's just rate it already. 10/10. Absolutely amazing. Good was some of the best I've ever had. The Churro French Toast is life changing. Full order can easily feed 3-4 people. Crispy, sweet, yet soft and tasty inside. Best description is a combination of a churro, mixed with a cinnamon roll, mixed with a donut. Would highly recommend. They offer a half portion too which is great for 2 people to share. The breakfast burritos are legit. Massive, tasty, delicious, and filling. About the same size and width as a 32oz Yeti bottle. Ordered the veggie burrito with bacon and the Smoked Pork burrito. Loved both. Tots, veggies, cheese, meat, all loaded. Even the salsas were 10/10. Seating is limited, maybe enough for 8-10 people total to sit inside, but they take to go orders and you can walk 5 minutes to Hanalei beach and eat by the ocean. TLDR - Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Absolutely delicious and such a beautiful experience!…read more We had the Garlic Shrimp and the Churros French Toast, and both were incredible! Let me tell you the garlic shrimp was amazing! The shrimp was cooked to perfection: juicy, tender, and coated in the most delicious garlic sauce. Every bite was so flavorful! The Churros French Toast was actually one of the reasons we came here because it's so popular, and it absolutely did not disappoint! It looks like it would be super sweet, but surprisingly, it's not. It's perfectly crunchy on the outside, moist in the middle, and just the right amount of sweetness. So delicious! And to top it all off, you get to enjoy this fantastic food with a beautiful Kauai view. Overall, such a wonderful experience. If you're visiting Kauai, I highly recommend putting Wake Up Delicious on your list you won't be disappointed!
