I've always seen Wallflour Bake Shop everywhere on my Instagram and I finally had the chance to try them at the farmers market! My favorite was definitely the vanilla donut. It's very similar to a Boston cream donut! The cream wasn't too sweet and honestly it would have paired perfectly with a hot cup of coffee! I'll be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of the Banana Hazelnut Cake because it was a little too sweet and the Portuguese sausage croissant tasted okay.. I thought the filling for it could be a little better.. Anyways, their pastries are honestly so cute! I would come back for the donut again :) read more

The long line is so worth it! I noticed most customers were walking away with at least 1 load of bread and a lot of them had 2 boxes of pastries. My daughter inlaw bought a croissant with black sesame that was so good and a couple cheese cakes that was awesome! read more

Looking for a light breakfast in Honolulu, Hawaii, I scrolled tthrough my Yelp app and found: Wallflour Bake Shop... Somewhere I haven't been! Doing some reading, I learned that they're open on Saturday mornings at the Kaka'ako Farmer's Market. They also do some pop-ups at 'ili'ili Cash & Carry. Just order online! I luckily got a metered street space next to the booth! There was a line (in the sun), so be prepared when you come. The left line is for bread only - it's quicker. The long line (with efficient service) is for pastries and bread. I got a loaf of sourdough and a croissant and a Black Sesame pastry. Everything was of high quality. The croissant had layers of flakiness! The Black Sesame had a generous portion of creative yummy filling. The sourdough bread was solid and satisfying! It was a fabulous breakfast! read more

The Wallflour Bake Shop can be found at local farmers market, and based on their IG, we wanted to check them and try some of their popular pastries. We had an assortment box, including: +Mushroom Danish +a Stuffed Pepper Flat +Apple Cinnamon Even though we came early in the morning, the pastries were cold; not sure if these were made the morning of or the day before, but that was a bit of a letdown. The Mushroom Danish had a large sliced oyster mushroom on top, but would love it if there were more embedded into the pastry. The Stuffed Pepper Flat was okay, and not as spicy as the description stated with the ground beef. The Apple Cinnamon was okay, as the cream in between was a bit too much. Staff were friendly, and I liked how they had each pastries laid out so you know what type of pastry you're getting/ordering. +cold pastries +located at farmers markets read more

2 years later and I'm still a fan of Wallflour Bake Shop! This time, we got: - Lilikoi sticky bun, still as good as last time! I love lilikoi anything and this was no exception. This is fairly rich so a great item to share. - Curry pastry, I was expecting more of a curry powder taste but this reminded me of chicken tikka masala flavor but with veggies on top. So good! (we got this one two weeks in a row) - Black sesame chocolate croissant - pretty strong black sesame flavor but the nuttiness paired well with the chocolate. I enjoyed! - Bread (I think the flavor was sundried tomato and smoked gouda) - a unique combo and tasty. Tip: if you are only getting bread (and not pastries), there is a separate (shorter) line for just bread orders at the Kakaako farmers market. read more

Whenever I go to the Kaka'ako Farmer's Market, Wallflour Bake Shop is the first place I check out. Although it gets really packed, I haven't had too much of an issue finding free parking around the area. Their line gets pretty long, and some things do sell out if you're not early enough. They have a wide selection of savory and sweet pastries, with some seasonal changes to the menu. I love that they lay out each item so you can take a look before ordering - they do have an instagram you can check out as well for their menu. Everything that I've tried from them has been a hit, so I'm going to keep coming back! read more

The vanilla burnt basque cheesecake is so fluffy and rich, without being heavy. It reminds me of a Japanese cheesecake and Chinese egg tart filling combined. Really enjoyed the high quality chocolate and creamy mousse with thin crunchy layer on the bottom of the chocolate dome. The locally sourced ingredients make these pastries extra special. Also tried the sun dried tomato/smoked Gouda sourdough. It's a very rustic and hearty bread with a crusty and well baked exterior. The chocolate babka loaf is an excellent dessert bread with whole hazelnuts and ample chocolate swirl throughout. The service is pretty fast, they have a line only to purchase bread and another to buy both pastry and bread. Worth the wait, go early for the best selection. read more

Wallflour Bakeshop is a gem of a small, local business run by a couple from New York. You'll always find a line at their Kakaʻako Farmers Market stall--and for good reason. Their breads and pastries are top notch and absolutely delicious. I love that they rotate their menu periodically, which keeps things fresh and exciting. True to their name, they're self-proclaimed introverted, which is perfect for someone reclusive like me. Quality products, friendly, and always delicious--Wallflour never disappoints. read more

Oh me oh my. I've been told by many a bread/pastry loving friend that I must try Wallflour and it did not disappoint! My favorites included: - Basque cheesecake: as a cheesecake aficionado, this is hands down one of the BEST cheesecakes I've had in Hawaii so far! Not too sweet, perfect texture, with that smokey burnt top...MMM! - strawberries and cream paris brest: holy moly, what an incredible composition of the perfect cream, sweet strawberry, and flaky pastry. like eating a cloud! - guava cream cheese danish: o-m-g guava should be on everything, and it really shined in this pastry! - any donut- they really do donuts well here. so yeasty/pillowy, perfect fillings. you can't go wrong with any of them! My favorite savory pastries included: - Squash flat. I'm not even a squash person but this was so delicious and balanced. - Tomato Pesto danish. Like a breakfast pizza. The tomato sauce was punchy and bright, the pesto was earthy, the pastry was perfect. Just OK for me: sesame croissant (I thought the texture was a little dry and not as flaky/tender as I would have liked but the sesame filling was quite nice), ham/gruyere croissant (again, croissant was rather dry for my liking but the ham was delicious), regular croissant (I am sensing a theme, maybe I just went on a day when the croissants weren't quite the way I like) This is the main reason I go to the Kakaako farmers market!!! read more

I said I would return. Each time I go to market, I go earlier than most vendors are open and I also don't go to both sides or the market. Habit, I guess. Market brought out a wonderful ambiance for all vendors!! Well, today I walked the entire market and also tried a bunch of different items. I told myself I wanted to try this place again because I knew my first review wouldn't be what they were about. I let them work out the kinks since they first were at market. I knew to give them another chance. I'm glad I did. Let me tell you. The flavor is good. In this humidity to create pastry so delicate and good like them is amazing. The after taste proved they use great butter. The ingredients are high quality and the freshness of the pastry even after hours of it being out shows the excellent workmanship of the bakers!! I'm just amazed and happy. They're organized and friendly. The prices are great. Let me tell you because there are places charging this much and they don't come near the flavor, texture or look of this vendor. I'm glad I came back and mahalo for doing what you do. Next time I want a buttery, flakey, not overly sweet, and high quality pastry, I'm coming back!!! read more

Yipppeee, we were lucky enough to be in town for the Kaka'ako Farmers Market in Honolulu held on Saturdays. There is just too much food available in Oahu and we had been buying lots of snacks. We saw the Wallflour booth and everything looked so delicious. My wife and I planned to buy one pastry to share. Everything looked so good that we ended up buying 3 pastries. We tried a cinnamon roll, a banana hazelnut croissant and a pear osmanthus brioche tart. All three were delicious, light, fresh ingredients and loved the fruits. The cinnamon roll was the right chewiness, nice frosting and cinnamon seasoning. The hazelnut banana filling was actually evenly distributed inside the croissant and each bite was tasty. The pear osmanthus brioche tart was soft, excellent balance of sweetness and taste of fresh fruit all combined in a great pastry. On our next trip, we plan to try more and different pastries. Now that we are familiar with Walflour we can be strategic in how many and where we buy treats to eat. Save your dessert appetite and get multiple pastries on Saturday mornings. read more

Wallflour Bake Shop at the Kakaako Farmers Market is a must stop for any pastries enthusiast. On a recent visit, I got to try their cinnamon roll and sticky bun. The cinnamon roll was absolutely incredible, it was so soft and surpassing even the my beloved Cinnabon in taste and texture. The sticky bun was equally delicious, making Wallflour a standout among the market's offerings. If you're ever at the Kakaako Farmers Market on a Saturday morning, be sure to check them out you won't be disappointed. read more

Amazing high quality pastries and bread! I went to kakaako's saturday pop up and had to try their pastries. I was attracted by the black sesame chocolate croissant, taco breakfast pastry, cinnamon roll, earl grey grapefruit, and Kimchee monkey bread. I was also lucky to snag their Japanese milk bread loaf! I have to say I was disappointed in the black sesame croissant. However, their savory pastries were amazing. I really enjoyed the breakfast pastry with the egg and chorizo in it! Then the Kimchee monkey bread had to be my second favorite followed by the cinnamon roll. The earl grey grapefruit pastry was a cream puff basically. It was sooo tasty but pricey. It cost more than my loaf of bread! The quality of ingredients is on point though. I am definitely going back for the savory pastries and to try all the other baked good!! They do have a pop up on Mondays from 7-11 at the iliili cash and carry but it's hard to go if you're working. Definitely worth trying! read more

07:30. 24th in line. And they don't technically open for another 30 minutes. No, no. It's not worth it. Go stand in another line..... and leave all these delights for ME! Seriously, it doesn't get much better than this. The freshness. The entire flavor spectrum beyond just sweet (which by the way, is very well controlled). The refinement. The near perfection. Fresh baked, gently sweet, brioche, lightly candied tangerine slice with its juicy interior and bitter citrusy pith and skin, vanilla imbued sweetened kisses of torched meringue all come together to make an incredibly balanced, multi dimensional... oh heck, straight up delicious bready treat. The cinnamon roll, wow! Ultra fresh, fluffy interior with swirls of cinnamon and almost zero interior sweetness topped with a gently sweetened cream cheese spread. No glazing, no candied nuts. Just perfect sweet, tart balance. Don't even get me started on the sublime black sesame roll with a smear of tahini in the interior or the to die for Basque cheesecake with its heavenly airy, smooth, creamy texture. It's like wearing silk undies. Oops. TMI. Prices match the quality $5-$7 each. Very friendly service. Cards through square. Kakaako Farmers Market, mauka side, extreme mauka row. Probably best you don't bother going. Yeah. that would be best. Mahalo plenty. JK. read more

I saw pics of their pastries and immediately knew I had to order some! Luckily, on Mondays, they are currently doing pop ups at Ilii ilii Can and carry in makiki :) I ordered, Korean corn cheese sourdough bread, a lillikoi sticky bun, einkorn biscuit, cara cara vanilla brioche, and savory bread pudding. Everything was so pretty - especially the brioche! Lillikoi sticky bun: sticky and delicious, and most importantly, I could taste the lillikoi :) Cara cara vanilla brioche: this was by far the star! So pretty, and the brioche was delicious and paired so well with the citrusy cara cara orange which was not chewy or tough at all also, it was topped with little droplets of meringue which definitely added to the taste and beauty of the pastry :) Einkorn biscuit: the biscuit tasted like a normal biscuit.. more on the dry side.. but it was served with a yummy guava jelly and butter Savory bread pudding: honestly I only took a few bites of it so far because I was full from everything else lol! But it was very good and I can't wait to toast it up in the oven Korean corn cheese bread: tastes pretty much just like a sourdough bread with corn and some red peppers added in. We still enjoyed it though with some butter slathered on :) Overall, I highly recommend this place, and I'll be back to try more menu items and get more of those orange brioche pastries! read more

I have a soft spot for moderately overpriced baked goods, but they better be delicious. And Wallflour definitely delivers! I've loved everything I've tried from this small popup. I've had the Einkorn biscuit, Khorasan financier, strawberry lemon bostock, focaccia, fougasse, garlic cheesy pull-apart bread, savory bread pudding, ham and cheese croissant, ratatouille flat, pork luau danish, kinako hunny bunny, and chocolate tart with coffee cream. Everything was so good, but I really recommend the strawberry lemon bostock, garlic cheesy pull-apart bread, and kinako hunny bunny. But you really can't go wrong with anything they make, I'm sure. I preorder online for pickup on Mondays at 'ili'ili cash and carry. It's so easy and then you're sure you get what you want. It can be a little wait to pick up though, because there's only one line for pick up and orders. Also, this does create the problem of impulse buying, as the beautiful baked goods are sitting in front of you. Check them out! Or don't, so there will be more for me! read more

They are the BEST and my favorite croissant place. Top 1 in Hawaii. I couldn't always wake up for them but some Saturdays, I can make it because I crave for their pastries. Parking at Kakaako Farmers Market was difficult due to limited parking. I tried their new items - lavender latte Paris crest (the cream is so smooth and the flavor so strong. Although the crest is not crispy but it really make my morning and so worth it! I eat it right away cause I don't think I can wait to eat it) and the blackberry cornbread croissant, I was debating if I should get it or not but still give it a try. It did not disappointed, the cornbread inside didn't make the croissant super heavy and the outer is flaky. Always looking forward to their new items or the classic! read more

Wow! Soo yummy! Majority of cheesecakes that I try usually are a bit uneventful in the sense that it usually tastes like a cheesy sponge cake, but these were immaculate. It still had that famous spongey texture it is famous for, but it still had that thick deep texture of a regular cheesecake that I love so much. The line was a bit long but it was all worth it because I was able to get to sample their cakes. I will definitely want to come back to their booth soon at the Kakaako Farmers Market! read more

I've been following them on instagram for a while and finally ordered on the last week of their apple banana bostock. I regret waiting as long as I did! I pre-ordered online for pickup at their pop-up at 'Ili'Ili Cash and Carry on Monday mornings. I loved that I didn't have to wait in line and they weren't sold out of what I wanted when I was available to pop in for pickup. Parking was super easy in the lot next to the shop, and the staff was super friendly. And the taste? OMG divine. I very much enjoyed my bostock breakfast. And the garlic cheesy bread I bought to have with dinner that night? (wait, no, that I centered dinner around that night!) Holy cats that was amazing. Crunchy cheesy garlicky melty bready goodness! I will admit I don't ordinarily love sourdough, so I was a little hesitant about their leavening process, but I needn't have worried - the loaf was delicious! Worth the price, 100%. They have a huge variety of sweet and savory pastries and loaves, but I'm looking forward to trying the croutons next. read more

i might have died and went to heaven. I honestly don't normally like sweets/pastries and I'm pretty picky with it if i do decide to eat it, so i was very impressed when i finally got to try some of the pastries from Wallflour Bake Shop. I believe they're usually found at the farmers market on Saturday. I dont really have the time to go there, so it was nice they did a pop up at iliili cash carry on Mondays. Best of all you pre order online and just head on over to pick it up at the shop. Pricing for the pastries are definitely on the higher end, but it was worth it! Not only are they beautiful, but they're tasty too. I already placed my order for next Monday to try other items as well. Don't forget to order early, because some items do sell out.

The kakaako farmers market is a weekly routine for my family and I but this was the first time I noticed Wallflour. It was hard to miss because they had the longest line that wrapped around their tent. Upon first look you can help but stop because their pastries are displayed on wooden boards and so visually appealing. You want to order 1 of everything! The top two items are their Laie vanilla basque cheesecake and Laie vanilla doughnut. Of course I had to try them both. I also got the rose milk bread pudding. It was topped with pistachios and raspberries with a decadent laie vanilla sauce. My boyfriend chose the honey walnut croissant which my son ended up eating. I will have to pre-order at their future pop-ups. read more

During our recent "surgical strikes" into the Kaka'ako Farmers Market on Saturday mornings, we've taken notice of the Wallflour Bake Shop food stall/tent. I'd slow down my pace as we'd pass by to ogle the baked goods while my husband zipped along to get in line at one of our other Farmers Market favorite vendors. Each time we'd pass by the Wallflour Bake Shop, I'd notice a crowd formed into an orderly line along the side of their tent, so I vowed to become a customer, and I'm so glad that I did. Wallflour Bake Shop's food tent caught my eyes with their European-style baking techniques while incorporating Asian and tropical flavors. They feature ancient or not-so-common grains in their products. Dare I say that using these grains or flour leads to healthy pastries? That might be going too far, but utilizing flour milled from different grains other than wheat will undoubtedly open your taste buds to different flavors and textures. I eyeballed their display of loaves of bread and pastries before standing in line while my husband went off to another vendor to get our breakfast. He jokingly warned me not to go crazy with my order and left me with only $20 to spend as I pleased. My first thought was to get doughnuts $5 each (pandan or honey w/ bee pollen) and a slice of a chocolate tart and a Parisian flan ($7 each) but, I only had $20 on me so then I scaled back my thoughts to only get a doughnut $5 and a slice of flan $7. That way, my bill would only amount to $12, and I'd still have cash left over to leave a tip. Ahh, but, sure enough, the Robert Burns quote "The best-laid plans of mice and men/Often go awry" came to fruition. My husband met me just as I turned the corner to place my order and reminded me to watch my carbs. Well, that's when I zeroed in on the loaves of bread, specifically the Mānoa chocolate sourdough bread. I reasoned that this bread would have a lower glycemic value based upon its sourdough fermentation, and based upon the color of the bread's crust and its heft, I knew that it wasn't made with just white wheat flour. Hmmm. I sliced the bread and found it studded with cocoa nibs that taste like bitter and earthy unsweetened chocolate, Kailua's Mānoa Chocolate. The sourdough aroma wasn't particularly intense, and when I lightly toasted a slice of bread, I could smell a nutty, malty aroma of rye flour. Its dark, chewy, crackly, and firm crust yielded a softer and airy interior. The structure of chocolate sourdough bread had its typical large, irregularly-sized holes from its fermentation time, yet its rye flour content allowed for tighter and even holes. My thoughts ran wild about lightly toasting and pairing this chocolate bread with butter or cream cheese and orange marmalade. I didn't have orange marmalade at home but broke open a jar of my other farmers' market favorite vendor's (Akaka Falls Farm Jams & Butters), liliko'i, and ginger jam. It was excellent, and we're eating this loaf of bread slowly, plus it freezes well. But my next plan for this chocolate sourdough bread is to turn it into bread pudding. It's been about a week since I purchased this loaf of bread, but I look forward to returning to Wallflour Bake Shop tomorrow at the farmers market to try ONE pastry with pandan flavor. Oh, last week, one of the young men manning their counter told me they do their baking and have a pop-up at iliili Cash & Carry on S Beretania Street if you miss their food stall. read more

The Kaka'ako Farmer's always has great little finds. Today, I didn't have time to browse and visit the various vendors. Instead I headed straight for the Wallflour Bake Shop stall to get some freshly made baked goods. Although they have a variety delectable pastries, I wanted bring some bread to a little potluck we were having. I was in luck as they still had two types available: Miso Papaya Walnut and Korean Corn Cheese Sourdough. Both were delicious - the sourdough had such a great flavor that compliment the subtle sweetness of the corn and creaminess of the cheese. The Miso Walnut Loaf had generous hunks of walnut and papaya. The miso was subtle, but the overall resonating flavor was walnut. Toast it, slather some butter on it. Delicious. They would also be great dipped in your your favorite soup or chowder. read more

Delicious pastries and bread! WallFlour is at the Kakaako Farmers Market every Saturday 8am-12pm, they do not have a store front. There's a small lot but it's usually really congested.

Every time I go to the Kaka'ako farmers market there's always a long line at Wallflour Bake Shop. I usually bypass because I don't want to wait in the line but today was different and I wasn't ready for this. OMG! After today I will now wait in the line. Ok hold on, you have to understand that I have a love hate relationship with bakeries/pastry shops. Some look amazing and don't live up to the hype with the taste test. I had some amazing pastries in Paris and London and Wallflour lives up to the taste test! Waikiki has a true gem with this team. I had the lilikoi sticky bun and the cream cheese danish with guava and they were phenomenal. Judging by the line I'm the last one to know , but if you don't know too, well now you know. Amazing.

WOWOWOW THESE MAY BE THE HOME TO SOME OF THE BEST FREAKING BAKED GOODS ON O'AHU Their pop-up at the Aloha FarmLovers Kaka'ako Market has been on my hit list for a while now, and I finally got the chance to stop by this past Saturday. Of course, there was a long line to get to their counter, but the line moved very quickly, and it gave my friend ample time to solidify our selections. We got: - pork luau danish ($6.50): the Danish pastry had beautiful lamination, wasn't too oily, and the pork luau itself was savory (& not too salty at all!). Would have liked it more if the luau was juicier and had more pork bits. - blueberry brioche tart ($6.50): with Laie vanilla, lemon, brown butter, and topped with marigold from Pettle Mettle, this had a perfect balance of tart and sweet. - strawberry lemon bostock ($6.50): finished off with Pop Culture's syrups and candied lemon. This was my personal favorite- it almost like strawberry lemon toast on steroids. Imagine having this with a scoop of vanilla ice cream from Sage Creamery... HEAVEN. - passionfruit tart ($7.50): what makes this different from other lilikoi tarts is the meringue and the macadamia praline. Usually the tart would be assembled on a macadamia nut shortbread base, which is soft and chewy. The praline was crispy and buttery, an amazing textural contrast to the creamy, sweet, and tart lilikoi filling. I saw that they also have a selection of unique breads and donuts. SO SAD that I'll be moving away and it'll be a min before I get to try these again :'') at least now I know that I'll HAVE to make a stop the next time I'm on island. read more
