We tried a variety of their baked goods but our absolute favorite items were the scones and chocolate cake. Although Sconees calls the scones 'mini scones' they're just the right size. Their corn bread was also great. A friend recommended and raved about the fruit bars but we'll have to try those on another visit. It's a small bakery but the goods are delicious and the service warm and welcoming. read more

I got the blueberry cream cheese scones and lemon bars. Price seemed reasonable (under $13 for 2 scones and 2 lemon bars). I tried one of the scones first. Pretty good - would rate it 4 out of 5. I tried the lemon bar next. It was not good - 1 out of 5. The lemon taste was underwhelming and the bar tasted stale (like old butter or oil). I couldn't finish one bar. Will toss it and the uneaten bar and scone. Even though the 1st scone tasted ok, I lost my appetite after eating the bad lemon bar. I don't come to this bakery often (this only my 2nd or 3rd visit) so I don't know if the lemon bars are always bad or if the bakery was having an off day (or recently changed the recipe). Many other reviewer like the lemon bars (but I did see a few negative reviews). I don't recommend the lemon bars. read more

CASH ONLY. They are known for their bars $2.50 each. The lilikoi bars lack the tartness and the shortbread crust was a bit thick. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Sconees Bakery - Lilikoi bar - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

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. read more

If can get here early enough this place also offers a great cup if unburnt coffee. I like to go almost every day for there affordable treats and might even leave with a pie if my stomach lets me. It's a 2 - man team that runs this operation and they are firing on all cylinders to make sure their awesome products are packed and ready to go! I've never sat down but I know most people take their goods to-go read more

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 read more

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!!! read more

Sconees Bakery - Bring cash! No one can make better scones than this place! - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Bring lots of cash because if you're anything like me, you'll depart Sconees with too many pastries and not enough mouths to feed it to. I like to think that's a good problem to have. My favorite items are: blueberry coffee cake blueberry cream cheese scone chocolate chip scone lilikoi bar The scones are moist and soft. They aren't dry and hard. Honestly perfect for immediate enjoyment. The lilikoi bars are delicious as well. Parking is located in the paid lots in front or behind Sconees. There is no dine in area. So bring a tote bag, buy your items, and take them to go! Lastly, if you're anything like me and have leftover scones in the fridge that have dried out because you left them in the paperbox... Cut them up, add them to a baking dish, pour over some vanilla cream and whipped eggs and make yourself a bread pudding! read more

Haven't been here in a very long time but had to stop by since we were in the area. There was a small section of things in bags and they were half off since they were from yesterday. What a deal! I got scones for my mom (not my fave since they're dry as scones are, but apricot is her fave), banana bread and cornbread for my dad. The cornbread was very good, not super sweet, a bit crumbly but still moist. I also got a regular priced guava bar. Like a lemon bar but guava. Unfortunately the guava flavor was very light but the bar itself was nice and gooey. Will definitely come back to check out the discount shelf! read more

This place has been here for a long time. Very well known for its scones of course. I went to check it out after years of not going there but decided to buy a blueberry scone since I just needed something sweet to get me by for few hours. Let me say they do not disappoint. It was delicious and I would have gotten more. I will be back again for another pick me up. read more

PARKING: It's Kaimuki, so you either find a street spot and toss a quarter in the meter, or if you're feeling risky, you could explore the fine line of testing the Kaimuki meter monitors. FOOD: They have little scones for $2.50 each, but if you get there early enough, the cream cheese ones may still be in stock for a little bit more cost. Those are way better than the Diamond Head Market ones, even though there is a cult following for them. Theirs is cake-like. The Sconees version is much closer to an actual scone, and half the price! Slightly salty, their batter is fantastic. INSIDE: There is no where to sit, so grab your selection, and head to a little neighborhood park to enjoy! Cash seems to be preferred. TIP: Get there early enough, you could snag a bag of their "day old" coffee cakes. A bag of 5 pieces for $5! I heard they have been having a hard time, so support this awesome local spot! read more

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. read more

I know it's called "sconees" and they have a variety of scones, go earlier for more of a range of options, of course. The scones are tasty, they remind me of a cross between muffins and hush puppies. However, the reason you ABSOLUTELY MUST visit them is because they make the BEST fruit bars I've ever had in my entire life, especially since I love their flavors, like guava and lilikoi. I love lemon bars but these bars are next level. Despite the rising costs of eggs and ... well... just about everything, they have kept their prices affordable. And while their bakery may seem humble, they've also been in this location for years. Make sure you have cash because they don't accept cards, but if you forgot, there's a bank machine across the street read more

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.

The little bakery that could. There have been different bakery businesses at this location. The current incarnation has been in business for over 20 years. They make several different bakery products including pies, scones and savory type rolls ( like hot dogs) m. We have always been partial to their custard pumpkin pie. A two layer pie with the best of both worlds. Chocolate chip scones are another favorite too. They are located in the heart of Kaimuki town and are part of the fabric of the neighborhood. Worth checking out when in Kaimuki. read more

Been to many scone bakeries, including in the U.K. This one is legit! The crumb or middle of a scone is just right, and this is where most bakeries falter. Yet, at Sconee's there are variations on flavors but also keeping the delicious texture just right. Cheers! read more

I'm a 100% addicted to the lilikoi bars here! They are absolutely delicious. The best I've ever had and my only regret is I didn't get the lemon bars as well. Will be back ... they have tons of street parking and you only need 5-10 min depending on the line. read more

Really disappointed in the LACK of flavor of the scones and lemon bars. We purchased five scones: blueberry, 2 apricot, cinnamon and chocolate chip. They all tasted exactly the same - like slightly dense and crumbly, plain biscuits. We also purchased several lemon bars and while slightly sweet, it lacked a distinct lemon flavor. The second star for the rating is simply because the texture of scones was pretty good and the lemon bars were pretty. read more

I have not been to Sconees in years and just happened to drop by this morning around 9:30. I was pleasantly surprised that it was still popular and maintaining very good quality. They also sell mini scones however they were all sold out when I got there. Chocolate, blueberry, apricot, guava and don't ask me which is my favorite because they all are. The owner or the cashier is so humble and friendly. She thanked me again and again for stopping by. I felt sometimes now at checkout points the credit card machine asks for tipping, and this would be legitime time for me to tip her for her quality service. read more

Sconees Bakery - Assorted scones- all good! - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I'm a long-time fan of Sconee's Bakery and love to support local businesses that produce tasty treats at fair prices. Small business is the backbone of our economy. Please support local small businesses. Gary, the owner, makes excellent baked goods and is consistent in putting out goodies my family enjoys. Can't imagine what it's like for a baker with this very warm and humid weather we've been having in Hawaii. While disappointed that the owner, Gary, closed for a week, I totally realize his need for a break from the daily stress of the baking tasty but perishable treats not knowing how many will sell. read more

Sconees Bakery - The storefront - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Jesus! How in the world did I not know about this place?! This Chinese-owned bakery is out of this world. First off Chinese bakery making delicious scones and guava bars and they've been doing it for 21 years?! Get out of here, if anyone told me about this I would not have believed them. Now that I've discovered I cannot get enough of it! Most places makes lemon bars that has way too much sugar, Sconee's is the opposite. They're perfect and I don't know what the heck they put on top of those guava bars it's like biting into a marshmallow then sinking your teeth into guava paste and finishing with a perfect bottom crust. Get here early, I got here on a Sunday at 10:30 and the lemon bars were sold out already. It's cash only. read more

This little bakery is in between Ottos cakes and Chocolate and Vanilla Bakery on 12th Ave. in Kaimuki. Street parking can be difficult but there is a paid parking lot across the street that cost just .75 for the first half hour! This was the first time that I stopped in to purchase something because they are a cash only establishment and I hardly ever have cash on hand, so this was a planned visit and I came prepared. We got there around noon and the display cases were already pretty bare. I was able to snag a couple lemon bars, lilikoi bars, and white chocolate blondes. The lilikoi bars were my favorite. The custard had a strong lilikoi flavor and the crust of the bar was similar to a buttery shortbread cookie. Though the crust was a little on the thicker side it was tasty. The lemon bar wasn't very lemony. I think it needed more lemon juice or maybe zest. Again the crust was a little too thick and took away from the velvety curd. The white chocolate blondes tasted better after heating them for a bit in the microwave. If you refrigerate them they get a chewy almost butter mochi texture. The man that helped us behind the counter was friendly and I hope to come back when there are more options to try. read more

Tucked away on 12th Ave in Kaimuki is a little bakery filled with a whole lot of delish! From pies to scones to fruit bars to savory rolls, there is bound to be something for everyone! On this visit, I picked up som guava bars, lilikoi bars, blondies, blueberry cream cheese scones, and ham/cheese rolls. The guava bars were really tasty, the crust was buttery and crumbly enough. Our only qualm is that we could barely taste any guava. The filling was sweet and fluffy and creamy but we couldn't taste the guava. The lilikoi bars were amazing and we could definitely taste the lilikoi! The scones are also tasty and go well with your morning beverage. The ham and cheese are soft and savory. I didn't get to try to white chocolate blondies but I am sure they were good! If you need pastries for the office or you wwnt to treat your family to some pastries for breakfast, check out Sconees! To note: They only accept cash or checks! read more
