Hanalei Bread Co. was exactly the kind of breakfast stop we were hoping for on the North Shore:…read morefresh, relaxed, and easy to enjoy before a day around Hanalei. I got a fruit/granola bowl topped with banana, strawberries, and blueberries, and it was bright, fresh, and really satisfying without feeling too heavy. The fruit tasted vibrant, the granola added a good crunch, and the whole bowl felt like the right Kauaʻi breakfast--simple, colorful, and made for eating outside. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, with that laid-back Hanalei feel. It's a great spot if you want coffee, pastries, or a fresh breakfast before heading to the beach, exploring town, or driving back toward Princeville. Would definitely recommend stopping here early in the day. It feels like one of those places that fits the rhythm of Hanalei perfectly.

Even though we parked in the back lot because of all the cars there. My husband had his cherry & mango over vanilla ice cream. The rest of us had straight shaved ice. One with organic strawberry, one POG & cherry & I had cherry, mango & lychee. I wished it had more lychee, maybe next year I'll go with only 2 flavors. The new covered picnic tables saved us from getting wet while sitting there. A definite plus.

But it's definitely still deserving of five stars and we recommend trying it if you are on the north side of the island. Here were our overall rankings: Kauai Shave Ice Rankings 2026 1. (Tied) North Shore Bowls in Kilauea - very enjoyable and creative pre-designed flavor combos, nice fluffy ice, good ice cream, flavorful syrups 1. (Tied) Wailua Shave Ice - very enjoyable and creative pre-designed flavor combos, delicious toppings, very good ice texture and ice cream; too light on the syrup for one of our two trips 3. Wishing Well in Hanalei - good fluffy ice and really flavorful natural syrups; downside is it's very crowded (always!) and pretty basic 4. JoJo's in Hanalei - this is a standard shave ice place; ice was a bit compact and icy, but the syrup was plentiful (maybe too much, if you can believe that, for our one visit) and the ice cream was both generous and good 5. Hee Fat in Kapaa - great flavors but the syrup was light coverage, and the ice cream seemed gummy/freezer burned, ice was decent texture; used to be our favorite in Kauai in years past, but it hasn't kept up with other places and maybe the quality has gone down hill 6. Honu Shave Ice in Kapaa - syrup was very light, almost nonexistent on one of our shave ices, ice was clumpy/chunky, ice cream was really minimal, flavors were decent

Sure theres complimentary waters and drinks spread throughout the resort, but if you need a fresh cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwhich this is the place to snag it.

Their menu is super yummy and the aroma carries through the front of the hotel as well as in the check in area. Put up with the lines and try this place when theyre open. Dont wait until after 3 PM!

We really did "Wake Up Delicious" here, wake up eating delicious foods! hehe. As I did an Instagram search Wake Up Delicious, had many reels and of course I must add this to my list to try for our day's adventures. Although the breakfast item looked great I had two items on my mind to try, the shrimp and the famous churro french toast. Very fun spot to visit, this brick and mortar is no longer a food truck but they have a spot now, I loved the vibe! Limited seats for dine in and parking, but patience should do it. Why Fun?- while waiting for my order, I was looking at all the trinket items for sale, the stickers, magnets and cards was fun to look at and made me just crack up, too funny! I got the garlic shrimp plate ( $22.50) comes with rice and choice of sides and the churro french toast, available in 2 or 4. I went with the 2 for $14. * Place your order at the front and wait for your beeper for your food, there's self serve utensils, condiments and water jug available. The verdict: Wow, omg- The butter garlic shrimp comes with 6 huge pieces of shrimp with heads on, super tasty, fresh. It was work with the head on but yum, super tasty! I wish I had some bread to soak up that sauce! The mac salad was tasty but the kim chee was on the fermented side which I don't like. The grand fnale, the famous churro french toast was super good, I would say it was more like a huge malasada, tasted like malasada, loved the crispy edges and the sauce that came with it. Staff were super friendly and wait for food wasn't too long. All in all- Wake Up Delicious gets my 5 stars & look forward to coming back here on our next visit to the Garden Isle. Not a hype!
