    What's the point of having toppings or flavors when you can't even taste them? A co-worker brought boxes and boxes of scones from Sconees (anyone know why there's an extra "E"?) Bakery. I was an instant fan and had to make my way over to its bakery located in Kaimukī, across from Via Gelato, Duk Kee, and Hale Vietnam. Only metered parking nearby. Cash and check ONLY. No credit cards. No tap to pay. Sconees Bakery definitely looks and feels like an old school place, and has become one of a few business from the last century (1999) in Kaimuki. I've passed by it many times, but never tried, as I'm not much of a scones/dessert person. Inside is tight with everything displayed clearly. The lady who helped us was friendly and nice. Not sure if this was an off day or what, or we just got the unlucky ones, but all the scones we ordered all tasted like a plain scone. While the scone itself was good. Small, crumbly, buttery, rich, and crisp. It's almost biscuit-like. But I did not taste any apple, any apricot, or any blueberry and cream cheese. It seemed like there was only a few pieces or less on top of the scone while the middle was plain. One of my photos of the blueberry cream cheese looks like one square of cream cheese with a single blueberry next to it. Cornbread was okay. Light, crumbly, and not sweet. The Lilikoi Bar was all right. Tart, rich, and sweet. The Guava bar was better. Okay guava flavor, not too sweet, and rich. Overall, the scones wasn't as good as when my co-worker brought them. Not sure why the fruits were so scant and minuscule on all the scones. The bars were decent. Everything was a-okay. Can perhaps find better elsewhere. Or perhaps the next time my co-worker brings some, I'll check closely!

    Love this local biz... It takes me back way before I can remember of the baked goods that brought to a meeting that I had and had to ask where it came from as it was just so delicious. Sconees Bakery is located on 12th Ave and it's a street that does have a bunch of metered parking though be careful as they do check on the regular as I've gotten tickets on more occasions that I'd like to admit and parking at either municipal is wonderfully priced and worth it. Walking into this tiny spot and the vibe is straight to the point with a couple of display case filled with various baked goods and first you see some custard pies along with guava and lemon bars which are refrigerated items and with other errands opted out for those items and decided to stick to the scones. Their mini scones are just so adorable though it's shaped more like a biscuits with it's circular shape versus triangular but gosh love that it came in five different flavors from chocolate chip, blueberry, apple, peach and apricot I decided on one of each and the shop owner talked me into the Blueberry Cream Cheese Scone which is the regular sized and why the heck not since I"m here. Loved these light and airy scones though honestly I couldn't tell which one was which with some but know that whoever got whatever flavors fell absolutely in love and know that I will be back. Thank you!

    Support small, local businesses. Friendly neighborhood bakery. **Cash or Check only** Family loves the blueberry scones. Only the mini size $2.50 is currently made. I prefer the corner pieces of the lilikoi bars. TIP: Cut the cornbread horizontally in half & toast or pan fry in butter. You're welcome!

    Sconees is a small, family run bakery that's been around for a good, long while. We can easily see why it's a local favorite. The family that runs it is lovely. (The kind -- and very pretty -- young lady who checked me out allowed me to use Venmo when I realized too late that they don't accept credit cards.) The pastries were absofreakinlutely fantastic. We got there right before closing and were happy to score some of the last few lilikoi and lemon bars. The bars were just the right balance of sweet and acidic for our tastes, made with a beautifully buttery cookie / shortbread like base and a very thin layer of soft, fluffy something (cake?) on top. Didn't get to try the scones, but those bars... I know I can make something similar at home, but... things do taste so much better when other people make them for you. And these bars are legitimately awesome. Go get these, kids.

    Sconees Bakery is a small shop that offers a selection of scones, bars, and pies - We came here early, as we had heard that their scones and bars can sell out pretty quickly; we tried: +a blueberry cream cheese scone +a peach scone +a lemon bar +and, a guava bar The scones were okay, as they weren't too dry; it would have been great if we had a pat of butter or jam. The bars were pretty tasty, as they were very jammy and decadent - great with a cup of coffee or tea! Staff were friendly and efficient. Limited metered parking can be found in the area, and there is also a paid lot. +tasty bars +friendly service

    Bring cash! No one can make better scones than this place!

    This place has the monopoly on the best tasting scones! I had the blueberry cheesecake and the blueberry scone, and it's not the typical US dry blah scone--no! These are fluffy, tasty, and irresistible!!! 10/10 recommend--bring cash and be ready to be so happy with your choices!! PS--I got the brownie but it was not as good--stick with the scones!!!

    What a little Gem. Found out about this place because I frequent the Yoga room with my cousin and she happened to stumble across this place and shared it with me. Tiny little bakery with so many great items. The gentleman that helped us was so nice and friendly. The bars run $2.25 a piece and are decent in size. We went with 6 of the Guava bars, 6 of the lilikoi bars and 6 of the lemon bars. The bars are soooo good! They aren't too sweet and the crust at the bottom of the bar is chewy yet crispy at the same time. I highly recommend stopping by this place if you're in the area to get a nice treat for yourself or possibly pick up some for a gathering or party. They do big orders but need some notice ahead of time. We also tried the blueberry scone and the white chocolate bar but they weren't my favorite, I would say to stick to the guava, lilikoi, and lemon and you won't be disappointed. Parking is available on the street and is metered or if you choose to park In the lots there is a fee as well.

    A small local bakery that specializes in mini sized and regular sized scones. The scones come in many varieties such as chocolate chip, apricot, peach, blueberry and more. They also make brownies, pies, and fruit bars! Cash only here! Really nice owners. Help support local. The bakery is well lit and small in size. They also discount day old baked goods. But come in early to get some! Street parking. Food: 5/5 stars Ambiance: 3/5 stars service: 5/5 stars

    Guava Bar

    Came here specifically to try the guava bar! I love guava and had to come try! Place is clean and offer a lot of other flavored bars, scones, cookies and brownies! Service was fast and friendly and we will definitely be back to try more!

    Lemon bars

    First impressions - a cute little mom and pop bakery. The man running the shop was super nice and friendly. The noms - White chocolate blondie - tastes like a regular blondie, nothing to write home about Lemon bars - my absolute favorite... I loved the balance of sweet and tart, also not too sweet. Lilikoi bars - review to come Guava bars - review to come Blueberry + cream cheese scone - review to come In conclusion - very good. Bringing home a box with half a dozen each so we can share with family back home

    Sconees Bakery is a cute little grab and go bakery in Kaimuki. The area has been expanding and growing in popularity but Cconees is classic and quick. The lilikoi bars are my favorite but all the bars are incredible. The scones are also a great size, moist on the inside, and not too sweet. This place is cash only and service is fast and friendly!

Sadly, it seemed more folks were there for the pastries though. First off, I'm surprised I found such a fabulous cup of coffee in what feels like the epicenter of tourist life on this island. While visiting another island nearly establishment had signage stating they served Kona and/or Hawaiian coffee, but nearly every establishment's coffee was absolutely awful. Seeing the location I fully expected them to phone in the coffee, but it's clear that coffee comes first here, even if many of the guests are trying to get pastries! You'll be shocked by the line, but just know the staff is efficient and it moves fast. They offer a variety of their own locally roasted beans here, with options for batch brew, espresso drinks and even pour overs (impressive considering the volume of customers). The coffees are well described and the baristas have the additional knowledge you may be seeking when you order, and all in all this went as quickly as I could have expected. Truly, the coffee was delightful, and the fact I was drinking a hot drink on an extremely hot day didn't even phase me. I wanted so badly to bring home a bag of each one, but given that everything is more expensive in Hawaii, these were all 4x the price of the specialty coffee I buy on the mainland and I just couldn't make it happen. What will happen is me telling everyone to visit this shop when they're in Hawaii because it is 100% worth it. Won't you consider opening one in Reno NV?

Since it was their anniversary on Sunday, also got their celebratory funfetti cupcake which also like their baked goods did not disappoint. The croissant base of many of their pastries is flaky.

It's such a neat take to have char siu in a croissant. We are used to having it in the doughy bao bread but in a croissant, savory with a crunchy outside tastes so much better.

The bigger the malasadas size the more airy and fluffy and more bread layers that will be inside. 2. their malasadas always taste fresh and the same quality each time. 3. their malasadas don't feel oily or heavy at all Overall I would highly recommend this place for their Malasadas! I'm so happy to have found them. I can back multiple times on my trip. They also have other desserts too that I have yet to try. They have ice cream, cakes, and other desserts Also tip: if you are ordering a malasada also order a coffee or a matcha drink to go with it. The cinnamon sugar from the malasada just matches so perfectly with a drink this restaurant is also a nice place for walking! There's lot of stores and restaurants to walk around!

However, there are many alternative malasada purveyors throughout Honolulu, so I depended on local vloggers to find the best ones. This one popped up often on YouTube, and as luck would have it, we were dining at The Pig & The Lady on the next block. How calorifically convenient. We took the opportunity to stop by for a pre-dinner snack since they closed at 6PM. It's a cute shop with multiple sweets including quite a selection of housemade ice cream and delectable mouthfuls called Cake Bombs (Photo 10). We decided we would be good and ordered one unfilled Malasada each. Dusted with various sugar flavors, they were just $2.65 a piece. I went for the Coffee, while Jamie chose the daily special, Cinnamon (Photo 6). They were soft and tasty, quite comparable to Leonard's albeit a tad smaller. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing since we had dinner ahead of us. However, we let temptation get the best of us and shared a $5.50 slice of the Ube Haupia Mac Nut Bar, a yummy combination of sweet potato and ube topped with haupia (coconut milk pudding) on a macadamia nut crust (Photo 9). Truth be told, it stole the show from the malasadas.

Knowing me, I was most interested in the dessert, but we ended up dining here on a whim. We had really great service when we dined in. I ordered the oxtail soup because I hadn't had it before, which fulfills my rule of trying new foods when I can. It was tasty, with a unique spice blend reminiscent of other beef soups I've had in the past. However, I was particularly wowed however by the complementary bread and raspberry jam. Call me simple, but the bread was actually the star of the show for me, perfectly soft and buttery. The location in Waikiki is perhaps a clear reminder that it is a tourism city.
