This was our first time here, idk why it took us this long to try it. We over ordered on the desserts lol everything looked so tasty and definitely tasted as good as they looked. We also got breakfast, loco moco, omelette, 3 pcs banana pancakes, and waffard. Sooo delicious!

I visited Liliha Bakery and witnessed extremely unsanitary food handling that should be addressed immediately. One of the kitchen staff (an older woman) was wearing the same black gloves while: • Handling raw meat • Grabbing lettuce and cutting lemons • Flipping burgers • Opening drawers/cabinets • And even pulling out the trash can
This is a serious cross-contamination risk that can spread dangerous bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella, and H. pylori. I politely brought this to my server’s attention but nothing was corrected. The employee continued working the same way.
This is not acceptable. Liliha Bakery needs a visit from Health and Human Services or the local health department to review and retrain staff on safe food handling protocols.
Until they address this issue, I can’t recommend eating here. It’s a health hazard.

Liliha reminds me of my aunty, my first experience of Hawaii, and the American diner experience. Always feels like home.

What a delicious little joint! You want little Instagram pics of your sexy little dessert to post? This is the spot. You want light and fluffy and mmm mmm good yum yums? This the spot. I tried 6 little items from the bakery and each one lit me up like little bites of heaven. No joke. Walked away with 5 others in a box to share with others. On top of that, I was able to order some local food favorites as well, and it was just as good as the bakery side. I didn't go too crazy with my meal. I had the loco moco and I have to say it's the best I've tried since living here! Crazy good! I left there like a little toddler proud of my belly, looking for my next adventure. Highly recommend 👌

I always come here and get the Steak and eggs with banana pancakes. Makes me feel like an old man , getting the same thing but its delicious and cheaper than in waikiki.

6/2025 Just for the Oxtail Soup alone it's worth a visit. Old style, friendly service and very, very reasonable prices! And so onolicious!! Sorry, was so good I forgot to take pics.😉🤙✌️
2/2023 My dad used to take me here eons ago for breakfast before he had to go to work. I still love the nostalgic diner counter. You don't see that much these days except for the older diners still on action. I recently called in an order for a quickie of 1 dozen cocoa puffs. Quick, easy, painless, and also picked up a couple more goodies. The young female clerk was nice enough to give me a single extra candle lying around. Sorry, there are no pic, but the original is still a nice oldie, but goodie! 😉🤙✌️

Great food, especially the cakes and pastries. A little pricey and always fairly busy, so arrive with patience. The eating area is set up more like a diner. Did I say the cakes are delicious? Wow!

This place stacks up at the very top of the heat against any breakfast spot anywhere I’ve ever been. This was our first trip to Hawaii and we were on our way to the airport with a plan to stop here before we left. Everything went perfectly. The food is amazingand the people are welcoming and accommodating. I only wish we had such a thing back in the DC area, where I live!

Was looking forward to sitting down eating breakfast, there was only counter seats, and they were full, with a standing line waiting. We still purchased pastires and ate them in the car. I would still recommend the bakery as a stop on any vacation.

I had a wonderful experience at Liliha Bakery! The loco moco was absolutely delicious, with a hint of charcoal taste that made it stand out. The butter bun with strawberry jam that comes with it was a delightful bonus—soft, buttery, and perfectly sweet. What made the visit even more special was the staff. Most of them are seniors, and their warm, welcoming demeanor made me feel like I was visiting a relative's house for lunch. It was such a comforting and unique touch. Overall, I loved the food and the friendly atmosphere. Definitely a place worth visiting for good eats and a cozy vibe!
