Excellent small-business bakery with delicious locally sourced products. Breakfast bentos, fresh loaves and rolls, great seasonal pastries plus cakes and cookies! Owner usually takes the time to chat/welcome, even on our most recent stop, when she was in the process of making 400 loaves for keiki non-profit. read more

We came early in the morning , in case pastries might be sold out. Very small selection which is fine , but surprisingly no guava , coconut, mango or chocolate pastries. Not a dog, just interesting Ordered the banana scone , blueberry turnover and sticky bun . Sticky bun with Mac nuts and sauce on top. Excellent. Blueberry turnover was good. Banana scone -OK. Not much flavor going on. The owner was very friendly. They didn't sell coffee, a little surprise. read more

Really really wanted to love this place. The owner is so sweet! We opted for the mango scone, coconut muffin and brownies. Unfortunately the scone wasn't what we expected. It seemed more on the bland side, not being able to taste any mango. It seemed somewhat of a savory scone. The coconut muffin was yummy! The brownies were a bit dry and bland similar to the scone. Cute little bakery with much go to choose from....I'm sure we'll be back to try her other baked goods! read more

Easter Sunday morning open! Macadamia nut bar was so good $8 but like a slice of pecan pie but with macadamia nuts so good, and very moist and all of the ingredients were something I could pronounce and find. Met the baker she is sweet, conversational and her love for baking comes thru ..I had a hard time leaving with one item. Fresh breads there too and if memory serves me a selection of cookies too. No tables but take it to go. read more

VIP Treats and Sweets - Taro bread, what is still left of it. - Bakeries Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

We walked by as we were grabbing lunch in the area and smelled the bread from outside so we made sure we stopped in on Day 2 of their reopening. We tried MacNut Shortbread and peanut butter cookies as well as a Sticky Bun and Taro roll. My son bought a sourdough loaf and breakfast sandwich. The breakfast sandwich was gone before I could get outside. We quartered the sticky bun and ended going back inside to but two more! Later, we toasted the sourdough bread and enjoyed it with a little butter! The MacNut shortbread cookies had just the right amount of crunch and sweetness. So glad we caught the reopening of VIP Treats and Sweets. Every item was delicious and prepared with care! read more

This place is great, they have my favorite treats. The lilikoi chiffon cake was delicious, can't wait to come back for more. Next time will try the mini apple pie and the spiced apple scone. This place is a winner read more

Although we didn't get what we came for, we left with some delicious brownies to enjoy on our hike mahalo nui loa Lily, thanks for sharing ur knowledge and well wishes for our day!! Lastly, if you need emergency restroom, they have. Don't know if it's for customers only but you need a key to access the single toilet restroom. read more

I have been visiting Kauai every year for over a decade and have experienced all of the local bakeries and cafes. VIP Treats and Sweets is a MUST visit for anyone seeking true from scratch baked goods with high quality ingredients. All items are clearly made with love and masterful baking. I appreciate the clean, simple ingredients and that it all tastes home cooked and not sickeningly sweet like treats served at other cafes. A local gem of Kauai and although it's difficult to decide, if I hade to pick my favorite it would be the taro bread. The sandwiches are perfect grab and go for a beach or hike day. read more

Mmmmm Kauai is definitely my home away from home and this place is very homey. Great bakes and sweets. Stop by and take some baked goods along for the ride or back home on the plane. The aunty in the bakery is the sweetest and she's always suggesting her freshest baked items. read more

The Lilikoi creme brulee was amazing, so smooth and not overly sweet. This is a must try item! Please note, Google maps pinned the location incorrectly. It's near the McDonald's shopping center. read more

We stopped in to try the malasada. Big disappointment! Regular donuts are even better than these! Pretty much a dense ball of dough rolled in sugar or cinnamon sugar! No fillings whatsoever. We bought the breakfast sandwich with eggs and Canadian bacon. The English muffin was again dense bread! No flavors. The pumpkin muffin was ok. Totally not recommend this place. read more

Really cute bakery, clean and organized. We got a chance to talk to the owner/baker while looking at the pastries and she was very friendly and informative about the desserts she makes. We got a papaya soursop bar and it was absolutely delicious. Usually it's hard to taste papaya in homemade desserts, but I was very pleased with the way you can taste both fruits. The owner said she only uses fresh ingredients and no concentrate. You can definitely tell :) read more

When you first walk in you are greeted by the owner/baker. She was very friendly and informative on her bakery goods. We were flying back tonight to the mainland and wanted to get a treat before we left. We had the lilikoi crème brûlée and it was delicious. Should have gotten 2. We also got the lime square and it was very tasty. Glad we found this place. read more

Please stop selling malasadas. Just please. Stopped here looking for a treat. Staff was friendly, the malasadas seem to be their pride and joy. They're nothing like what a malasada should be. The consistency was like corn bread and not fluffy at all. They offer no fillings as well. Leaving a bad taste in my mouth is an understatement. read more

hot, fresh, cooked to order Malasadas, the love child of a beignet and the best doughnut hole you ever ate, on Tuesdays​, Thursdays​, and Saturdays. if you've tried 'em, you know exactly what i'm talking about. if you haven't, stop making excuses -- here's your chance. VIP Treats and Sweets in Kapa'a. nice lady. great eats. read more

Malasadas are good when hot but cool off to very dense balls. The cinnamon roll was a big miss, being neither sweet, cinnamony, nor light. The pumpkin crunch is a square with pumpkin pie filling and whipped cream on top, with a crust of macadamia nuts, ginger, and graham cracker crumbs (probably). If that sounds good to you, then you'll like it. On the other hand, the slice of strawberry cake, which is white cake, with white filling and strawberries, with white frosting, just tasted, uh, white. read more

Local Spot!! A one woman show (that we saw) baking some yummy treats and breads. Hands down the best sticky bun I have had in a long time! The pineapple muffin was so fluffy and was perfumed with pineapple. She had warm breakfast sandwiches and masubi. Oh, and she bakes breads for local restaurants, check out the board on where she's baking for. She is in the Smiths parking lot, next to the UPS store. read more

Friendly service... I came in specifically for the malasadas, they make them to order, so you'll have to wait for them (about 7 minutes)... Only available on Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday. In my opinion, they're mediocre at best, I've had WAY better... The best way I can describe them is that they're dense and heavy, not light and airy... read more

Fresh, hot, homemade malasadas to order! Absolutely delicious! What a great find. I was driving to visit family for a day of fun and decided to bring malasadas. I found this lovely little shop and what a delight. Excellent customer service and a variety of yummy treats. I had a breakfast sandwich and tea while waiting for the malasadas to finish. What lovely store. I highly recommend it! read more

This is a small women run bakery. Tried their crème brûlée and sticky bun. Both were great!

Found the perfect place in Kauai for the freshest Malasadas. Since you can only find these in Hawaii (that I know of) I was so happy we chose VIP's. They make them to order so it takes appx 10 minutes from the time you put in an order but they are so worth the wait! You can also call in an order so that you still get the just baked taste upon pickup. We spent the wait talking to the owner who was super sweet. Decided to order half topped with cinnamon/sugar and the other half sugar only...both were delicious! Had to try them as we left but even stayed warm on the 15 minute drive back to our hotel. If you haven't had Malasadas go here for the freshest & best tasting dessert in my opinion. read more

VIP Treats and Sweets - Cinnamon/sugar & Sugar only topped Malasadas - Bakeries Near Me - Kapaa, Hawaii

Stopped in today for malasadas. Delicious! The cinnamon is slightly better than plain sugar ... both are scrumptious! While waiting for our malasadas, Marlena told us about her sourdough breads & starter. Then the bread pudding made with the stickie buns caught our eye & we bought one. Haven't sampled it yet ... metering the sugar intake! I'll be back for more. read more

We just arrived in Kauai and explored some local shopping plazas. We walked past VIP Treats and Sweets and saw a sign in the window offering made-to-order malasadas (Portuguese donuts) every T, R and Saturday. Seeing we had just arrived and knew we would be up early with the time zone, we knew this was our spot. The owner is fabulous. She is so friendly and has had the store open for just over a year. She spoke to us while we waited for our malasadas to fry. She told us about the island and her business. The bakery offers so many wonderful treats. Macadamia nut sticky buns, cinnamon buns, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast bread pudding, fresh baked breads and rolls, including a sourdough that is made from the owners in house starter which she has fed since 2015. There is also ciabatta in load form, which you don't see that often. Let me tell you, the malasadas did not disappoint. The dough is delicious and the fry was perfect - not too oily. We will be here throughout the week and are excited to try more delicious goodies. read more

The malasadas were super dense and hard without a malasada flavor. Just fried dough in sugar. The taro bread was oddly salty with no taro flavor and the breakfast sandwiches were on very dense and hard to chew English muffins. We were so disappointed. The lady working was very nice. read more

breakfast Sandwhich was okay but the malasadas were nothing like traditional ones. Ordered 12 thinking they were the light and fluffy malasadas I know. They were dense and like eating a hush puppy with sugar on it. If you want traditional malasadas, go somewhere else. Super disappointing. The chickens loved them though. read more

I love supporting local businesses when possible, and I'm happy to leave a review for this bakery! Every time I go in the owner is always baking her @$$ off and welcomes me with a smile. It looks like she bakes / makes a series of desserts and pastries but I've only managed to try the French rolls, rosemary roll (omg so good with pastrami and mayo jeeeeeez) and her ciabatta breakfast thingies, lol. She has em stuffed with eggs and bacon, ham, or spam. A great quick bite if in a rush. Definitely drop by if you're in the area! read more

Butter cookies were good but if you're looking for local bake goods this won't be it. Malasadas was so hard and super sugary even my kids wouldn't eat it. read more
