first of all, this is my favorite dietary friendly bakery and i'm SO GLAD they're back!! i've had their cinnamon rolls, cookies, loafs, muffins... literally everything here tastes good. you need to try it! this last time i ordered a custom carrot cake and it ATE down! im still dreaming about it. the cake was perfectly dense, super moist, and the frosting?! actually unreal. i would eat it by the spoon if i could. and the gold flakes on top were STUNNING. it was giving luxury and beauty! it felt as special as it tasted. this bakery doesn't miss! everything is dietary/allergen-friendly but you'd never know because the flavor and texture is a 10/10. you can tell so much care and intention goes into every single item. highly, highly, highly recommend! read more

Puʻuwai Bakery has been on my radar for a while because I was curious about their vegan offerings. I'm not vegan myself, but I do enjoy trying vegan options from time to time. When I learned they also make custom cakes, I decided to order one for a coworker's farewell. I needed a cake that was gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free. She can tolerate gluten and dairy with consequences later, but she has a severe nut allergy, so finding something safe for her was the top priority. I wanted to make sure she could finally enjoy a cake without worrying, since she's eaten other farewell cakes in the past, but suffered later. I reached out about two weeks in advance, and Franceska was incredibly kind and helpful throughout the process. Mondays are limited to custom cake pick-ups within a 2-2:30 pm window, and the day I went happened to coincide with a forecasted storm. I texted to confirm they'd still be open since other businesses were closing, and she reassured me they would be. The cake itself was adorable. The simple design and color palette were beautiful, and my coworker loved it. She chose chocolate ganache with lilikoi buttercream, and the lilikoi flavor was especially lovely; subtle but bright and balanced, and it really tied everything together. Texture-wise, the cake was a little drier than traditional cakes and had a slightly different aftertaste, but that's understandable given the dietary restrictions. It actually grew on me, and most importantly, my coworker was able to enjoy it safely and loved it. If you need desserts that accommodate dietary restrictions, especially vegan or allergen-friendly options, Puʻuwai Bakery is definitely worth considering. read more

The frosting is so rich and creamy. Cannot believe there is no dairy. It definitely has the best texture when it is room temperature. I am glad I went with the lilikoi (passion fruit) flavored cake and frosting. The cake is not dry. The cupcakes were good. I am not a sweets person so I probably would've enjoyed more of the baked goods but we were in a rush and a lot of items were sold out. The cake and cupcakes were for a birthday party. Baguettes and bagels are in my future. Parking is poor. You can park right in front if you are quickly picking up - but it is not a legitimate parking space. Parking next door is the cheapest option. It charged us $0.60. Probably cost more to process the card. There is also parking across the street. Didn't bother to look at prices. read more

I am so glad I went with Pu'uwai bakery! I needed a last minute (one week) smash cake for my son's first birthday. Communication via email, was very easy from the get-go. Fransesca captured what I needed for my son's cake as far as design and added ingredients. It was so cute and tasted amazing! She uses the best ingredients, and my daughter said it smelled "healthy" in the bakery when she picked up the cake. Wonderful experience overall and will be coming back soon! read more

I was on the hunt for gluten free, sugar free, dairy free birthday desserts for my boss and found Pu'uwai aloha bakery. I contacted franceska and found that I could get a vanilla and chocolate cupcake with all those requirements. I got one of each and three with sugar in it: Lilikoi, guava and strawberry. I picked it up from the church of the crossroads near UH. Review of cupcakes: my boss had the vanilla and chocolate cupcakes and thought those were better than the bite she had of the Lilikoi. I am not a fan of sugar free items so I had the Lilikoi cupcake. Surprisingly it was pretty good. I thought it was a bit dense not airy and light like normal cupcakes. But I think everyone enjoyed it, even the whipped topping. Each cupcake was $8 and I was pleasantly surprised at the cost. I ordered it 6 days in advance and was able to pick it up by 9 am. read more

It was a Wednesday when a co-worker said she had been craving cake- little did I know her birthday was fast approaching. I had little time to find a bakery or a place that would meet her dietary needs - Gluten Free & Vegetarian. However Pu'uwai Aloha Bakery came to the rescue, like an oasis of water in a dessert of carnivores and gluten eaters; a spot light in my google searches! I checked out their web page, and the photos of their beautifully crafted cakes and cupcakes. Out of all the google options, they were the best that I could find. I filled out an order form, crossing my fingers they would get back to me before the birthday deadline. (Which they did, with in a few hours. I was relieved) As my cake order was less than the 5 days they prefer, I did accept their 20% fee for rushed orders, and it was worth every penny. I gave them as much time as possible, saying i could pick up right before the store closed, as it was truly my fault they would have to rush the order. Pick-up was incredibly easy. Finished cakes are ready to be picked up at Sugarlina at Ward. While your there you can pick up cup cakes for the neigh-Sayers of GF/Veg food, and even grab a Happy Lemon treat- there are so many delicious reason you should consider ordering a cake from this bakery. Once you get to Sugarlina, you just let the employee know you're picking up, and retrieve your order- absolutely painless. I gave the baker creative freedom, and i could not be more satisfied with how beautiful it turned out. The cake it self was extremely well received. My co-worker was stunned, she told me she never had a cake like this. I had asked earlier for a list of the ingredients for her. She said that usually there is something that has gluten - but she was shocked that all the ingredients met her requirements. If you were unaware that this cake was GF & Vegetarian, you would be none the wiser. This CAKE was magnificent! The flavor of the lemon cake to me was subtle and not overpowering it was nice. The strawberry frosting was perfect- the cake it self was over all refreshing. I should have had another slice! Birthday girl loved the cake so much she took the rest home to indulge herself more- as she should! I would 100% order another cake from this Bakery. Customer service is also great. I never once felt like I was inconveniencing them, with my asking for a rush order to asking them for a list of the ingredients! Super Pleasant experience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! read more

Pu'uwai Aloha Bakery - Lemon Cake with Strawberry Frosting decorated beautifully with gold dusted fruits and white carnations - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I recently ordered a fully gluten free cake from Pu'uwai Aloha Bakery & I have to say they exceeded all of my expectations! I know it can be difficult to find gluten free baked goods that are not dense but this vanilla cake was wonderful. It was soft & tasty. The Lilikoi frosting was fantastic. Not too sweet and very lite. In my order request, I requested if they could do fresh fruit and flowers in a simple design. I didn't know what to expect and my expectations were low because I was thinking it would be similar to a store bought cake design (Sorry) Upon picking it up and to my surprise, it was so beautiful! The design was perfect. Simple but cute. Everyone loved the cake and even asked where I got it from. We will definitely be back. If not for my friend, for myself. lol! Thank you! read more

So I am allergic to milk and my amazing husband found this bakery. Turns out she's a one woman show and made the most delicious and dairy free cake I've ever had. Every bit of this cake was not only gorgeous but incredibly tasty. I can't thank her enough for this perfect birthday cake! My husband pre-ordered and did all communication via text .

I placed an order for three gluten free cupcakes when I was in LA before my trip to Honolulu. I texted the contact person listed on the website. The cupcakes were delicious and beautifully decorated in a lovely box. Local pickup was arranged in a parking lot and I paid via Venmo upon pickup. I only wish there was a storefront site so I could taste all of their savory and sweet treats. read more

OMG. If you're looking for a delicious SUGAR-FREE CAKE, this is the place! The staff was super friendly & accommodating and their cake really made my uncle's bday extra special. I messaged a few places last-minute on Monday looking for a sugar-free cake for Thursday. Keep in mind that Tues was the 4th of July. I got one other response from another bakery saying they don't do sugar-free and to try Whole Foods--apparently finding a sugar-free cake on this island is tough, not too many places offer them, especially within a few days notice. Susan, from Pu'uwai Aloha bakery responded right away and said they could def make my cake. I had no idea what kind of cake I wanted, I just needed it to be sugar-free & feed 8-10 people and I was hoping for some fruit on top. She recommended the chocolate cake with buttercream frosting topped with fresh berries. It was amazing! The whole fam really enjoyed it and my kids were asking for seconds, "because mom--there's no sugar in it!" The bakery was easy to find and super cute, so glad I found this place! The cake was so pretty!! The berries and flowers were so fresh and it was just perfection! I highly recommend Pu'uwai Aloha Bakery and we'll definitely be back to try more goodies. Thank you so much!!! read more

The best allergy friendly bakery and the service is AMAZING. My daughter is allergic to everything you could possibly think of, this bakery was super accommodating. We went in to order a cake and tried their cinnamon bun and we loved it. We ended up ordering her a cake for her birthday and I accidentally dropped it, she told us to come back and fixed it for us. I would recommend this bakery to everyone who visits Hawaii. Thank you so so much!! read more

Great hole in the wall shop. Love that it's gluten free and made fresh. If you go too early in the morning, they wont have all their selection ready for the day yet as they are still baking it. Got the Mediterranean and the chocolate chip mochi, both very good. Was looking for the manapua when we went but it wasnt on their menu that day. Would be back when in the area next! read more

I researched and messaged a few bakeries in Oahu since I was looking for a smash cake for my son's first birthday, but I was really intrigued when I came across Pu'uwai Aloha, who makes cakes with certain dietary restrictions like sugar free, gluten free, vegan, etc. I reached out through their website, and I had to call them to follow up, but after that Franceska responded and it was easy to communicate with her. She had me send some inspo pics and gave me the option of adding an inscription or berries and flowers to the top. She was helpful in suggesting cake and icing flavors that would work well but keeping everything lower in sugar. We decided on a strawberry guava cake with a lilikoi buttercream. Franceska warned me that the buttercream would be more buttery with less sugar. We found the bakery fairly easily, in a more residential area. There were a few street parking spots right out front. Franceska was putting the finishing touches on the cake and I figured I'd browse their selection of other baked goods while I waited. Lots of vegan options and lots of savory options in addition to sweet items. Our smash cake was perfect! I was so happy with it. First, it was the perfect size! I've seen smash cakes wayyy too big, that a one year old will definitely not even make a dent in and makes for a lot of waste (unless you can salvage it after the smashing to share with others). The design matched exactly to the pictures I had sent. The berries and flowers on top were the perfect touch. I was so excited to have smash cake photos done when I saw the cake. Finally, we got to dig in! My one year old and three year old had first dibs and they both looked to be enjoying the cake from the berries (they might have even eaten the flowers), the buttercream frosting, to the cake itself. Then us parents got to get a few handfuls in. I forgot to bring some utensils so it was a true smash cake for us all. The cake was moist and the flavor was really good. The buttercream was deliciously buttery. It obviously wasn't sweet since it was made with less sugar, but it also wasn't bland or lacking. In fact it was just as good and flavorful as any other cake I've had in recent memory. Very very happy we went with Pu'uwai Aloha Bakery and would love to order another cake for a special occasion when we're near again. With the low sugar option, it is a great option and guilt free for the whole family! read more

I seriously can not say enough amazing things about Franceska. My daughter has celiac and we ended up being in Waikiki over her 10th birthday so being able to get a gluten free cake that's totally safe for her to enjoy meant the absolute world to our family. We aren't in Hawaii as often as we'd like to be but we will 100% be ordering a cake every time we're there. Thank you again for helping make our daughter's day really special read more

Wonderful little gluten-free bakery! I reached out to Franceska with a last-minute request for a smash cake that's low in sugar for my baby's first birthday, and she was able to put it together within a couple days. I was so incredibly grateful considering other places typically have pre-order restrictions. When I went to pick up the cake, I of course grabbed a couple of yummy goodies while I was there: a zucchini frittata, and ube cake. They also had some delicious free samples. The frittata was on the lighter/fluffier side, and since it had zucchini, it was a bit watery, but my baby and I loved it. The ube cake was moist and quite dense, and the portion size was quite generous. It was more than enough for my husband and I. The owner mentioned that her turkey cheddar sandwich is the one that sells out pretty quickly, we made a note to come back for that one. If you're looking for a gluten-free bakery, this is the place to go to! Just a heads up though, it can be challenging to find street parking. It took us several tries going up and down the streets, so my husband parked at a red curb while I quickly went into the shop. Luckily, he was able to move to an open spot that was closer. read more

I'm so happy that Puuwai Aloha finally found a new location at 918 Smith St and it's so cozy and quaint and I love the outdoor seating. They make the best cupcakes and I always order from them for special occasions. I just visited there for their reopening and had the blueberry muffin, which was full of so many blueberries and so tender. My son had the cinnamon roll and he loved it. I love their icing too, yum! We also had lilikioades, which were just tre right sweetness. And the baguette I took home was so delicious, and it's hard to believe it's all gluten free. I can't wait to go back! read more

Long Overdue Review but 5STARS!!!! I ordered a gluten free cake with berries. Pu'uwai Aloha Bakery responded quickly via email. I wish I got pictures but I didn't. Anyway, the cake was delicious.

I needed a healthy cupcake for a birthday luncheon and found Pu'uwai Aloha Bakery. I asked so many questions via email and Franceskka responded each patiently and with care. I ordered the strawberry guava cupcake with gluten free, wheat free, dairy free and egg free. When I picked up the cupcakes, they were so beautiful with fresh fruits and a fresh flower. I had a taste, and was so totally surprised as to how delicious it was, besides looking so beautiful. I was amazed. The birthday person loved it and was also surprised how delicious it was without the wheat, dairy & eggs. Franceska was pleasant to work with. I'm so glad I found her. read more

Since my girlfriend is gluten-free and she's had to tag along with me to all the local food spots that she can't mostly eat at, I wanted to find something gluten-free for her in Honolulu. Luckily, I discovered Pu'uwai Aloha Bakery, which is ALL gluten-free! This wasn't really a visit for me, so I can't really provide that much of a review aside from the one cookie I had. It was quite delicious though, if you had told me it was gluten-free beforehand I wouldn't have guessed. All I know is that my girlfriend ordered $30+ worth of food and enjoyed all of it, so that's the only seal of approval I need! read more

A perfect Saturday morning starts with a stroll thru the Ward Farmer's market. My work schedule doesn't always allow it so I commit to once a month. There is 1 booth that I never skip and it is the Pu'uwai Aloha Bakery. If you're like me my group of friends range from gluten-free, sugar-free, vegan, vegetarian, low-carb, full-fat. Well they have a pastry for everyone. The loaf pans are moist and flavors stand out. Cookies have a crunch on the outside with a soft - middle I like the peanut butter chocolate chip. You can't tell by taste or texture which ones are regular- vegan etc. All so good. Ultimate favorite "The Vegan Ganache Cake" Ultimately best chocolate cake I have had vegan or not. They are so amazing and accommodating! Although closed on Sunday- they made my daughters cake fresh on Sunday for a special pick up. Check them out at their store front or farmers market or order a cake for your next occasion you will not be disappointed. read more

I had high expectations for this cake. To be direct it looked better than the taste & texture. Preordered and all cake was honestly dry and so tiny and left much to be desired. Upon walking into Sugarfina to pick up the cake I spotted the small refrigerator in the common area with a small box. I thought to myself that better not be the cake I ordered but it was. I thought wow for $60 this cake must be super good so I said nothing upon pick up because I was pretty confident measurements were listed upon filling out online ordering form and that I should have measured out the size with a tape measure before making my selection. Needless to say the cake was mediocre at best with an inconsistent texture some parts firm some not. My 6 year old actually said " some parts are like they have been in the freezer for 10000 years" I ordered the lilikoi flavor which tasted like straight up fruitloops. Won't come back won't order again would discourage others from doing so. read more

Found this amazing bakery while visiting and was completely blown away with selection of delicious gluten free breads, bagels, cakes and even sandwiches! I tried everything and it was all delicious.

The low carb cake I just got was bad. I'm sorry, but it was. The frosting was salty. And it was grainy, like they used granulated sugar in it. Or salt. And the cake itself was "playdoughy." Idk...Do the bakers taste their products? Working with whoever it was to get the cake made was good. Did it over text and it was convenient. It just sucks that diabetics can't rely on places to provide them with tasty low carb products. The cake was very pretty though. Thank you read more

I ordered vegan chocolate ganache cupcakes with chocolate ganache frosting and strawberry guava cupcakes with guava frosting. I had them delivered to our hotel the day we landed as a surprise for my husband's birthday. We don't eat much cake because it's hard to find a good vegan cake and I was a cake decorator for many years and don't really like cake, but these cupcakes were delectably extraordinary and beautiful. A revelation to our taste buds. Thank you Pu'uwai Aloha Bakery for making the 12 hours of flight time to get here worth it! read more

My mom discovered this gem while on her quest for a vegan birthday cake. Not so thrilled by the selection at Whole Foods, she did her Coconut Wireless research, which led her to Pu'uwai. She was so excited to meet the owner Susan and share her beautifully decorated with fresh flowers gluten free chocolate ganache cake with all of us, she could hardly contain herself. When I finally got to taste it, I have to say it was divine! Dark, rich, and dense yet creamy, both cake and frosting were DELICIOUS! Because it was so rich I told myself I should only eat half of my slice. But as is often the case, my hand, mouth and stomach did not listen to me. Today my friend with celiac disease led me to Pu'uwai Bakery again. She was so happy to discover a gluten free bakery in Hawaii and I was so happy I finally got to see the place my mom had been raving about. Cute and charming with its hand painted murals, it offers an interesting selection of baked goods as well as a few real food options you can have for lunch. When we got there in the afternoon some items had already been sold out but the showcase included a delicious chocolate zucchini bread, pesto rolls, peanut butter cookies, and carrot cake. I decided to get my lunch there but couldn't decide because the penne pasta, which looked like a thick fully loaded lasagna , and the ahi green chili both looked and sounded so good! Ash who was working behind the counter graciously offered to let me sample them. I decided on the ahi green chili because Chef Susan said she had dreamed it up one night. It came with a nice fluffy serving of rice and quinoa mixed together. Can't wait to go back to this place so I can try more of their baked goods all made with TLC. read more

I was blown away. My husband has been dealing with a lot of gastro/acid reflux issues over the last year and has cut out a lot of foods. His birthday was coming up and I just wanted so badly for him to have some semblance of normalcy with a birthday cake. Thank goodness that Pu'uwai Aloha Bakery exist!!! I popped in on Wednesday and chatted with the owner for a bit of his dietary restrictions and she had no problems accommodating to them. The owner was so understanding of his needs! I ended up ordering a gluten free chocolate cake marbled with strawberry puree. 8" cake for $50 and ready for pick up in two days. I came early on Friday to pick up and the owner generously gave me a GF zucchini lavender loaf to snack on while she finished the decorations. That little guy was delicious! I could only imagine the chocolate cake. The cake btw was beautiful. It was decorated so nicely with tons of fresh berries and flowers. At first bite, I could tell it was definitely not a normal fluffy cake. It was a bit dense but the flavors were good. A couple more bites and I was hooked. My husband enjoyed it but it might have been a bit too rich for him because of how much he had cut back over the year. He couldn't be happier with his cake though. Five stars to Pu'uwai Aloha Bakery for fulfilling a niche market and doing it so well. GF, vegan, or anything, this bakery is worth checking out! read more
