One of the hole in the wall bakeshops for dessert on 11th avenue It is cash only no credit but has a long-term reputation. Also has custard pies and other treats . You can park on the street in the afternoon.Scones are excellent for breakfast or anytime. They sell chocolate or blueberry bread in pack of 3 to 4 at 7 to 9 dollars a pack. They close around 3 pm. A bang for your buck. read more

Sconees Bakery - Blueberry & lilikoi bars - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Sconees is a truly local bakery serving a quality selection of scones, bars, and sweet breads. It came in incredibly clutch one morning when we struck out on multiple other breakfast choices which were either closed or had over an hour wait times. I spied Sconees from across the street where we were standing, and the lack of line alone was enough to get me in the door which turned out to be a great decision. The defining feature of Sconees in my mind has to be the value. On an island where breakfast can easily run you $15-20, Sconees is still serving freshly baked goodies for $1-3 each. The four of us filled up a box and got two coffees all for $20; an excellent deal and a great way to start a morning of exploration. The pastries themselves were very solid. Nothing blew me away necessarily, but for an average of $2 a piece they completely delivered. The scones were fresh and moist, though be prepared for the fruit flavor to be very faint. I had one of the apricot scones and I really couldn't taste any discernable apricot flavor, but it was still tasty. They even have one or two local items like the Lilikoi Bar that you would be hard pressed to find back on the mainland so those are definitely worth at try. If you are looking for a authentically local experience and a few pastries to start your morning, look no further than Sconees! read more

I LOVE THIS BAKERY!!!! Owner is so down to earth. Scones were so good. Texture was perfect. Lemon bars were just excellent. The lemon to crust ratio was fantastic. A very satisfying munch. I walked in and felt right at home. Show this place some genuine love! It's worth your time and cash. read more

Someone had given me some Lemon Bars and Guava Bars from this place a long time ago and I enjoyed it! Since we were in Kaimuki, decided to drop by to see what else they had. I guess I went too late because most of their shelves were empty but they did have a lot of the bars so I bought some for my family and neighbors. I saw some Chocolate Chip Mini Scones that kind of looked like these scones I used to buy at a shop on Hotel Street. I don't remember the name of the place but their scone was awesome. They closed a long time ago and could never find anywhere that tasted like theirs. I bought one to try and it was almost the same taste and texture...yay! I will definitely come back here again! FYI: They only accept cash or check. read more

I haven't been to sconees in years but I'm happy that they're still around. The bars (lemon, lilikoi, guava) are less sweet than I remember, but still chewy and delicious. I went right before they were going to close so they were mostly sold out of their scones. Everything is still reasonably priced. read more

Sconees Bakery - Guava & lilikoi bar - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Finally got to try this landmark Kaimuki bakery I've heard so much about. The atmosphere is very nostalgic as it had a very similar appearance to other bakeries visited in my youth. You can see right back into the prep area and view old time spring scales (Ah..that means non digital), huge mixer bowls and machinery, dough hooks... wow... even the clock has hands and is wired electrically. Lady at the counter was nice and we ended up selecting a mix of lemon, chocolate, and lilikoi bars. Liked that it was cash only! Made the entire visit seem like old times. The lemon bars are not the traditional bursting with lemon zest variety but have a unique taste made by combining the lemon filling into the crust. Very unique. Overall really enjoyed coming here. Mahalo for reading my review. read more

Sconees Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I don't like sweets, so all my info is based off what everyone else said. I was initially trying to get a cheesecake from Ottos, but hot damn the line was long. I was told Sconees was good, and they have been there for years so hey, I'm all about supporting local especially during this horrible time. The guy was super appreciative that I went in to buy. He said he doesn't make as much variety due to the business slowdown. I was only trying to feed about 8 of us for a bday lunch...but I bought enough for 16 people. Got 2 of each flavor of the bars and the scones. I always heard the scones were good, but they also said the bars were great too! Yay for people with sweet-tooths (sweet-teeth?)! SUPPORT LOCAL! read more

Baked goods in Kaimuki, Honolulu... Our mission: Help Kathy get her Instigator Badge Long story short: mission completed! Since the four of us were in Kaimuki and had parked already (I was in a metered street stall and the others were in the paid parking lot between 11th and 12th Avenue), we thought that we'd get dessert and check in together on our Yelp app with Kathy checking in first so she could get the Instigator Badge. We walked across the street to Sconees. This bakery has been around for a while, but I never patronized it - maybe because it's relatively far for me? Anyway, everything looked so good at Sconees Bakery, so I told the cashier that I wanted a box. Silence Haha...ok... I ordered a custard tart, ham and cheese bun, 2 scones with subtle flavor, a quiche, a lilikoi bar, and a cha siu bao. I liked the custard tart and oniony quiche the best. The lilikoi bar had a kind of whipped topping which didn't thrill me. The cha siu bao was surprisingly good. The meat filling seemed to be almost pureed so that the consistency was smoother and with less gristle and no chunks of fat! Awesome! I guess I'd return if I were in the vicinity. There was nothing really outstanding. It just was memorable because Kathy's bear (Bandabi) got a smile out of the cashier! read more

Flaky buttery brown crusts are their specialties. Perhaps its what they're named after, SCONES. For me, I discovered the blueberry bar, even better than the lemon bar. Why, because its blueberry! The filling has an almost rose flavor to it, quite elegant. The crust has something mouthwatering in it. The mini quiches crust is superb. Got the spinach one, gotta get the veggies in, right? read more

Looking for delicious baked goods in Kaimuki? My family and I are long time fans of Sconees! From scones to lemon bars, blondies, and hot dog pastries this biz does it all! Affordable prices and always baked to perfection it's hard to shy away when I'm in the area. What's not to love, this biz have been around for almost as long as I've been alive! Like a truly old school Hawaii bakery, this biz is often a one-man-show. Joy N. said it best--sometimes if no one is up front you have to call out "helloooo" and someone will be right out. Again, like a truly old school Hawaii bakery, this biz is cash only. There's plenty of parking in the Kaimuki area, whether it's street, metered, or parking in the lot. read more

Cyndy's Bottom Line: Is it a biscuit or a scone? -Street parking available and two parking lots -Cash only - Variety of baked goods if you arrive early Stopped in especially for the blueberry scone. At first bite it tasted like a biscuit. The texture is dense like a biscuit and crumbly with a little sweetness. All it needed was a smear of clotted cream. read more

I was so excited to try the bars as many reviews raved about them. The lady working was very friendly. I ordered a hotdog/bun for my daughter and she enjoyed it. I also ordered the lilikoi, guava, and lemon bars for someone else, but tried one of the lemon bars for myself. It was okay, not bad, but nothing outstanding. read more

If you're looking for Hawaiian goodies to bring home for friends, look no further than Sconees! I first had one of these lilikoi bars at a friends' party in LA. I asked where she got them, and was sad to hear Oahu haha I knew I had to get more when I visited. They had lemon, lilikoi and guava bars, plus a variety of scones and other treats. I got a bunch to fly home for family. I kept them in the box, guarded them with my life through the airport, and put them in the fridge when I got back. Perfect and tasty! Everyone loved them! The bars hold up well and can be frozen if you want to keep them longer. The scones were still good too a few days later. Just pop them in the toaster oven for a bit. Note it's cash only. Go support this local shop! read more

Scones are flay, buttery, & delicious. But lemon bars are terrible! Floury , dry, and no lemon flavor. Box mix taste better!

I love this place! Workers are so friendly and they are so appreciative of your business. Sure, don't have all of the wide selection (especially after mid morning), but whatever they have, you cannot go wrong. Bought a box full of scones and lemon bars for my friend who helped me out yesterday and also bought some scones for my family. Can't wait to have it with my coffee tomorrow. Shop local! read more

Amazing scones! This is my name for it! 21 years in business is saying a lot! And prices did not change since that seams like. I was waiting for other business to be open and parked across from Sconees Bakery not knowing it, thinking I just have my coffee listen to my music, I saw bakery and just wanted to see what is inside. 10 min later in the box bunch of things I was not going to buy. I had to try them all at list one bite lol And they are so good! Not to sweet and perfect size. I got minis; lol compare with other businesses minis this is like 3 minis in Jamba J for less price. The owner is so friendly and Happy! The music is so friendly and happy! The prices are so friendly and happy! It made my day! I feel I found a treasure! My place now. read more

Friendly service. Neat little neighborhood bakery. Delicious scones, buy every flavor!

When I saw the place I got curious about how good their scones were so I finally went in for the first time and it's very tiny. Cash or check only which caught me off guard because I'm not used to carrying cash anymore luckily my friend had cash. Service was pretty quick which gives it a star. I was very disappointed with the blueberry scone. Very tiny for 2.50! And it tasted more like a biscuit I wouldn't recommend. I also got the lemon bar and a brownie. The lemon bar is ok but they make the crust very thick which I personally like a thinner crust. The lemon part of it was fine. The brownie was very tough and didn't taste like chocolate or a brownie at all. I did not like it and wouldn't recommend that either. Should you try it? Maybe a lot of people seem to enjoy there baked goods based on the reviews here. I personally would rather not come back because I've had better at other places. read more

This is a small mom and pop shop with nice aunties working up front. We got the lilikoi bar and it was delicious. It's a small shop primarily selling scones and these fruit bars (guava, lilikoi, lemon). Nice customer service. There's no place to tables to sit down. It's right across from the Koko Head Cafe. read more

I finally went to Sconees Bakery to pick-up lemon, lilikoi, and guava bars. They were all good, but I think my favorite is the lemon or lilikoi. Very affordable prices, but remember to bring cash as they do not accept credit cards. read more

My mom treated my wife and I to 6 bars (3 lemon, 2 lilikoi, and 1 white chocolate. Consequently, this review is based purely on the taste vs. service, the store, etc. Also my wife downed the white chocolate bar before I could even sample it haha. However, the lemon and lilikoi bars were great. I wish the lemon bars had a bit more lemon flavor but were otherwise delicious. Lilikoi was also just as good. Loved the contrast in texture in the different layers of the bar. Would definitely stop here again. read more

Great light scones and delicious pumpkin custard pie. I wandered into the bakery on Thanksgiving Day and luckily they had the pie and nice variety of scones. I would definitely come back for more! read more

I mainly came here after seeing my Yelp buddy - Cin T. post her wonderful pics of the "fruit & cake bars", which truly intrigued me. Where can you find these delectable treats? Up in Kaimuki town, on 12th Avenue. Look for a place called - Sconees Bakery! Little trivia for you folks..........before Sconees Bakery, did you folks know that this bakery location use to be a - "Bea's Pies & Deli" back in the 70's - 90's? And the 1995 Miss Hawaii - Traci Toguchi's parents use to own Bea's Pies & Deli. Bea's was known for their pumpkin custard pies! Anyways, since I was working in the Kaimuki area the other day, I decided to swing by Sconees to try the fruit & cake bars. As I walked into the bakery, there was an elderly lady......not the friendliest, but hey, I'm not here for the service.............I'm here for the bars! Upon looking over the display case, I decided to get a Guava Bar, Blondie Bar, & Brownie Bar. I also noticed a Blueberry Crumb Cake which was calling my name (buggah is good with coffee!) so I had to pick that up too. There were so many types for bars, and scones.........if you're into that, then this is the perfect place for you! Got my morning treats & paid the lady $7.75 for the four items I picked up. What can I say about the items I picked up? Guava Bar - Ya know what? I really couldn't taste the guava...........what's wrong with me???? Lol! Shucks, I should have tried the Lilikoi Bar instead. I guess I won't be getting that Guava Bar again! Lol! Brownie Bar - It's basically a brownie, cut into a bar shape serving. Very good brownie, nice texture, and chocolate flavor was not overly sweet. Loved it! Blondie Bar - It's basically a white cake brownie............same type of texture as the brownie, but the flavor was not as enjoyable (to me) than the chocolate brownie bar. Blueberry Crumb Cake - It's not a scone, or a cake/fruit bar...........but this was definitely the clear winner for me of the four items I bought that day. The Crumb cake had a very nice texture, nice crumb topping, and the cake itself was very soft with nice fresh plump blueberries in the middle of the cake. It was the perfect item to have with a good cup of coffee! As I was exiting Sconees, I noticed they sold a pumpkin/custard pie, as well as a plain custard pie........the prices for these pies seemed pretty reasonable, so I will have to come back here one day, to sample that custard pie & update you folks! read more

The smell was what drew me in! I was walking past this bakery after leaving KoKo Head Cafe for brunch and the smell of butter was wafting out. I got a lilikoi bar and a guava bar. Imagine a lemon bar but with different filling. The shortbread was crusty and buttery, and the filling was so delicious. Would highly recommend coming here and checking it out! Cash only! read more

Amazing guava and lilikoi bars! Just the perfect texture and a pretty generous size for the price. I love everything about these bars- a bit on the sweet side with great fruit taste. The crust holds up well to the filling. You have to get there early though- they will sell out of these two flavors. read more

I was looking for quiche to take to my friend whom I was visiting for lunch. He is elderly and loves quiche. I searched "quiche" on Yelp and Sconees came up and since it was on my way, decided that was a good option. I had trouble finding it as Google Maps was confused but called and got there. I asked if he had quiche and he said he had not for a while. I told him it was on his posting and he shrugged his shoulders. Okay. Let's move on. Their posting also says they have lots of vegetarian options but not sure what that means, but I did not see anything vegetarian. They only had scones, cakes and 1 ham and cheese bread, oh and lilikoi and some other fruit bars. I told him I came here specifically for quiche and was disappointed but bought 2 scones, the lone ham and cheese bread and 2 lilikoi bars since I was due at the my friends and was already late. Then, I had to make an extra stop to get myself a salad (that is on a separate review). I got to my friends and went to cut the ham and cheese bread only to find that it was stale. Ugh. Imagine my frustration. So, I shared my salad with him (from another location) and he had 1/2 a lilikoi bar for dessert. It was a disappointment but he did say the lilikoi bar was excellent. I hope they will have some more varieties at lunch time and the bread is not stale. I will give it another try since it is a small business and I am sure what is there is good. I did not have anything so I cannot comment one way or another. read more

3.7 Stars =) Would have given it 3.5 and clicked 3 stars, but I had an ***Endearing Experience here today so bumped up to 3.7 & clicked 4 stars to round up! =) (Please read below :) Have been here a few times over the years... Stopped by when conveniently in the area as I like SUPPORTING LOCAL MOM n POP PLACES :) but would not consider this place destination worthy. The one memorable item I remember enjoying was the PUMPKIN/CUSTARD COMBO PIE! It's a layered pie with 2/3 pumpkin on the bottom and 1/3 custard on the top!! FANTASTIC IDEA!! -- as I Love both pumpkin & custard pies -- best of both worlds in one! And relatively reasonable at $12.50 per pie compared to most places where the going rate is about $14-$15 per pumpkin or custard pie =) This would be the one item I RECOMMEND, as when we arrived around 930am this morning, they were already SOLD OUT of those Pumpkin-Custard Pies!! As for their namesake SCONEES! They are pretty good -- 3.5 stars for the Scones! They are on the LIGHT & FLAKY side -- kind of a cross between a light flaky biscuit & cornbread composition rather than your usual dense moist scones.. These are NEITHER MOIST NOR FALL-APART DRY-- just in the middle! OK eaten plain but much better to take home, heat in the toaster over with some melty butter & added jam which is what I did with my apricot scone! Only tiny bits of apricot inside but still Lovely with the added jam as I mentioned! The other items I have tried are so-so -- the Lilikoi & Guava bars were dry and un-flavorful IMHO.. Fruit & Cheese pockets are just OK. As you will notice in other reviews -- SERVICE has been consistently UN-SMILEY and even SLIGHTLY GRUMPY! Lol! PT even nudged me in the shoulder & facetiously commented on the grumpy lady -- hehe which then brought Smiles to our faces! =) =) Lol (Bless her Heart!) :) :) ***So I was up at the register to pay for my Apricot Scone on the tray, and of course as the grumpy lady was about to use her tongs to put our scone in a bag, I said "Hold on one minute please! *Bandabi swiftly swooped next to the scone like a Ninja for a quick Yelp photo!* As soon as the grumpy lady saw Bandabi she Smiled with Delight and even grabbed Bandabi and said "How cute! How cute!" and laughed & Smiled Big!! =D! Bandabi single-pawedly turned the grumpy lady's frown upside-down! =)!! We were very Happy to Cheer up the grumpy lady! Lol -- as she also made our day and we will never forget that moment! =)! My Yelper buddies Aunty Nadine C., Paul C., & Fran C. were kind enough to suggest coming here so I could get my Yelp Instigator Badge! Mahalo my dear Yeep buddies!! =)!! CASH ONLY!! Aunty Nadine was kind enough to spot us! :) Will have to return one day with Bandabi to try their all-custard pie & to Cheer Up Sweet Sconee Baker Aunty again!! Hehe :D :D Aunty Nadine & PT would also like to know how their CUSTARD PIE is as we three are on a constant Quest to find the BEST custard pie on da island!! We go chance em one day gang!! =D! read more

Yelp Challenge 365 # 57/365 I work in downtown Honolulu but will drive to Sconee's for their mini scones. If I need a snack box to share with my clients, I will go to Sconees. If I want an evening desert, I will go to Sconees. Their mini scones come in a variety of flavors (my favorite is the cranberry) and so so so buttery. In addition to their delicious scones, they have fruit bars which is also delicious. (my favorite is the passion fruit bar). I purchased a bag of their day old scones as a test to see how they hold up and boy, it was just as soft and flavorful as the daily scones in the gondola. I used to see their discount coupons in MidWeek and sometimes in the Sunday Bulletin Dining Out section. Haven't seen it in a while though:( The ladies behind the counter are friendly; they may you want to go back for more! read more
