“A Must-Visit for Authentic Kauai Coffee and TreatsThis cafe is the best place to grab authentic Kauai coffee. The staff is wonderful and adds to the welcoming atmosphere. Don't miss out on their white chocolate macadamia nut cookie - it's absolutely delicious. A perfect spot for coffee lovers and anyone looking for a tasty treat.“
“Lappert's is a great local chain of ice cream shops in Hawaii. They have homemade flavors you will not find anywhere else. Plus, it is relatively inexpensive compared to most Hawaiian fare. We went to the Koloa Landing Lappert's and it was fantastic.“
“Cute vibes, delicious food, kind staff, and right on the beach! Ordered an everything bagel with jalapeño and artichoke cream cheese, breakfast sandwich, and a bunch of their pastries - everything was 10/10. Coming back for their banana pudding…must visit for breakfast if you’re staying at the Royal Sonesta or Marriot.“
“Delicious, fresh food. The pizza was a nice surprise, as we didn't see it on the menu. While we were ordering, one of the chefs brought it up and told the woman taking orders it was available. Wow was it delicious! Hanapepe swinging bridge is basically right across the street which was also really fun to see. We will definitely return again when on Kauai.“
“We were planning a destination wedding in Kauai and needed a wedding cake and a groom's cake. I contacted Ko Bakery and they were quick to respond and answer all my questions. I sent a couple of pictures of my ideas and the cake arrived exactly as pictured. It was delicious. They even made arrangements to have it delivered to the restaurant so all we had to do was enjoy our day, show up at the restaurant, and eat cake! I would highly recommend this bakery.“
“Not just a bakery! They also have great gifts. Excellent locally owned place.I’ve been going to sugar skull for about three years now. Alfred & Maren are the owners and they’re both super friendly, helpful, and professional. As far as baked goods, I like their caramel bars, brownies, coconut bars, cookies, and pumpkin bread (when it’s autumn). My husband likes their cheesecakes and they made him a delicious custom cheesecake.As the years have passed they’ve expanded their gift selection and they have a bunch of great local gifts and kid’s gifts in store. They’ve quickly become my first stop to get gifts for my kiddos or a place to get gifts to send to family on the continent/abroad.Kid-friendliness: So many great gifts for the kiddos and they also carry locally made baby food pouches.“
“Absolutely the BEST malasadas on Kauai!!! Before coming to Kauai Bakery, we tried Passion Bakery (small, expensive, so-so flavor) and Island Craves (tough, day old and small, not much flavor). Kauai Bakery has very fresh, moist and flavorful malasadas. They're also good sized and inexpensive ($1.50 for plain sugar or cinnamon sugar!). Delicious!!!! Similar in freshness, taste and size to the malasadas at Tex-Drive In on the Big Island.Friendly, wonderful, people....family owned. The best! Don't go anywhere else but here!Parking: The bakery is on an outside edge of a shopping mall, next to n entrance. Lots of parking!“
“Chun P. and I shared a delicious slice of lilikoi chocolate cake here, and some tasty lattes. There are limited seating options, but we sat at a table outside and Chef Orly Yadao came out to chat with us. He was very kind and we were a little star-struck to meet the Food Network star in person (Sugar Dome, Halloween Wars, Cookie Wars)! Definitely stop by this lovely bakery if you are in Kauai.“
“Combination of grocery store, bakery, and restaurant. Frequented by old ladies and young male workers -- positive indicators of quality and value.We got a small marinated pork ($8), custard pastry, and sticky rice for a total of $12.Pork was super flavorful though I was unable to identify anything.The custard pastry was mind-blowing.“
“Amazing rotating selection of pies by the slice, both sweet and savory. I was visiting for only two weeks, but kept coming back here. Some of the best pie crust I’ve ever had!Hard to pick my favorite since they were all so great. But probably the blueberry coconut; The juicy blueberries went perfectly with the toasted coconut in the crumble topping.“
“Popped in for a second while the rest of the family was shopping in the town. The cookies are outlandishly great. I get it that there is a contingent of people (and reviewers it seems) who prefer a soft moist cookie. That's not me. These crisp magical buttery cookies maybe veer more on the shortbread side than a boring soft cookie, but they are easily in my top cookie experience I've ever had. Perfection.My favorite is the Butter Dreams with cornflakes adding an extra crunch texture.“
“What an unassuming and sumptuous space! Minimalism finds its resonance here in a space that feels like a pilates studio evolved into a retro, elegant café.The matcha is vibrant, balanced, and smooth. The service is fast and clean. The menu design itself is a thing to behold.We are planning on returning enough times in 4d to get a free cup of coffee after buying 10.An unexpected gem!“
“A must stop if you’re on Kauai. Some of the best Chinese food I have ever had. This nondescript place is on the main highway between Lihue and Waimea Canyon. Go to the canyon in the morning to beat the heat and the crowds and on your way back stop here for lunch. Great portions for a good price and did I mention the pie for dessert?!?!?! You can’t go wrong. A local recommended it and they were spot on. Enjoy. Mahalo.“
“Found this very busy sandwich shop and decided to stop for a late lunch. It is located in the interior of the shopping center. There is plenty of parking out front and a short walk to the entrance.Lots of sandwichs, salads, and daily soup selections to choose from. We ordered a turkey, bacon sub sandwich, a tuna avocado sandwich without bread, and a cup of corn chowder.Waited about 15 minutes for the sandwiches to be made and sat inside the smaller dining area to eat them. Everything tasted delicious and fresh. Will definitely return in the future for other sandwiches to try.“
“The store is clean, bright and stocked very well like any Safeway, Vons or Albertsons. Your Vons club rewards work in Safeway. The food items provided in the aisles gave customers lots of options. Check out the special local options like Kōloa rum, Hawaiian juice, fresh poke or Hawaiian chips. This store has great parking and we loved it. Prices were kind of high on a few items.“
“I was surprised, and not in a good way. First, that ube mochi was a real treat and was an unusual and positive surprise. I was expecting, based on the name and a few previous reviews that there would be fresh cookies but all they had were packaged cookies. Also, we got the impression there was coffee but they weren't serving any.Overall, the store seemed to be trying to be a lot of things to a lot of people, leaving the focus unclear. But if you want a fresh local meal, this may be your spot. But "cookie" isn't high on the list of descriptive words I would use.Parking: Lot in the back of the store.Kid-friendliness: My kids had snacks, specifically fruit snacks (of all things!), and were satisfied by the options.“
“Nice small local bakery in Lihue across from Kauai Community College. Decent selection of unique baked goods and pastries to start your morning. Food tasted great and delicious overall...certainly did not disappoint at all. And the prices are reasonable.“
“Absolutely loved the coffee here! Espresso is nicely roasted and shines through whatever beverage you get! The service is fantastic and very friendly! The sleeper beverage here is definitely the chai, a must try in my opinion. If you’re in the area stop by Eden Coffee!!!“
