I was excited to try Halekulani Bakery after seeing the glowing reviews and beautiful photos online—especially the much-hyped New York croissant. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize it’s not part of the regular menu, so I settled on a few other pastries instead.
The experience ended up feeling underwhelming and expensive: $27.64 for the pastries, plus $11 for parking.
Here’s what I tried:
Valrhona Chocolate Croissant ($6.00) – Light and airy with a nice chew, but it only had a single small bar of chocolate. For the size and price, it should’ve had two.
Pabana Croissant ($6.50) – Unique in flavor, but ultimately forgettable.
Guava Danish ($5.50) – Lovely to look at, but the flavor didn’t leave an impression. Airy and unremarkable.
Mango Blueberry Muffin ($4.75) – The most baffling of the bunch. The texture reminded me of a Bisquick mix, and despite its name, there were no actual full-sized berries—just colored specks. Very disappointing.
Chocolate Chip Cookie ($3.50) – Surprisingly the highlight. Chewy, chocolatey, crisp and moist in all the right ways—and the least expensive item.
At a similar price point, b. Patisserie at the International Marketplace delivers far better quality and flavor across the board. It is a much longer wait, but worth it. Sadly, Halekulani Bakery didn’t live up to the hype—or the cost.
I don’t know last time went there but I finally found signature Coconut Cake which my favorite.
Delicious bakery. Croissant was excellent. Fresh and tasty. Coffee is ok. Can do better elsewhere like vintage or the gelato place. Lines can be very long. Only open until 1130. Expect long lines if you go between 730-10. Def on pricier side but high quality.
Walking distance from the hotel. Great morning stop for some fresh pastries and coffee. Seating inside and out. Enjoy outside seating with the sparrows. Come early to beat the line.
I’m sorry but our experience here was pretty poor. There is one giant communal table inside so if all the outdoor tables are occupied, you’ll have to awkwardly sit with strangers or just leave. The fig prosciutto pastry was not good, I felt like I couldn’t even swallow it once I tasted the meat and sweet fruit combination. I did enjoy the chocolate croissant and guava matcha latte so it wasn’t all bad.
I bought the salted caramel croissant and the Haupia brioche . I loved the croissant I went back and got it again another day. It had just the right amount of caramel on the inside. The brioche bread was good and moist but I should have paired it with a drink. My mom bought the ham and cheese croissant and she really liked it. It was a decent sized sandwich for the morning to get her going for the day. Would definitely recommend checking it out.
I saw Quite a bit of lineup in May. It’s a bit on the pricier end but the quality is really good!
The bakery is a two minute walk from our hotel, which means I'll be back.
Only purchased pastries, three different kinds. All of the pastries were delicious. More European in style, in that they were not overly sweet, which is our preference.
Overall it's delicious and I highly recommend a visit

I came here early when the bakery just opened around 6:30, and the line got really long minutes later.
Pastries are fresh and yummy but it is on the pricey side. Anyways, worth a try.

I dropped a piece of bread right after I bought it, and they immediately replaced it with a new one. thank you.
There was a line at first, but it moved quickly so I was able to sit down and relax.
A local friend recommended the salted caramel croissant, but when I arrived at 10am, it was already sold out. Looks like you need to go early in the morning

I used it for breakfast. It was $6-9 per piece.
All of the breads were voluminous, delicious, and filling.
The location was easy to find as it was right in front of Halekulani Hotel.
It opened at 6:30 on a Friday morning and there was a line of about 20 people.
*We lined up from around 6:20, so we were the second group from the front.
