16 Best Bakeries near Lihue

“Our family very recently vacationed in Kauai to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary. I had reached out to Ko Bakery several weeks before our trip to have a cake made to surprise my parents. We chose the Haupia with Lime buttercream and also got a dozen cupcakes (yellow cake with chocolate buttercream) for the kiddos. The cake and cupcakes were AMAZING!!!! Their customer service is incredible (especially since we were communicating through email) and pick up was a breeze. I highly recommend Ko Bakery!!!“

“The ginger snaps are amazing! Everything is amazing! We loved the cheesecakes as well.“

“These are the best malasadas! We’ve tried lots of top rated places on kaua’i and other islands, and nothing ever beats these. The fillings are not overly sweet or artificial tasting like so many others are. Our favorites are the lilikoi and haupia, but you really can’t go wrong with any. They have some savory options too which are yummy also. We come here every time we’re on Kaua’i (multiple times!), and they are always the most welcoming and kind people working there. The coffee is good too, we love the mac nut and coconut lattes. We love Kaua’i Bakery!!“

“Wow the bagels were amazing! My husband and I both got the brekkie special sandwich and it was delicious. We also got an iced coffee and smoothie. The coffee is excellent here. We arrived around 9am and there was 2 people in front of us, food came out pretty quick. Will definitely be coming back again.“

“Love the food here. You gotta be there really early for the full spread of rolls, I love the spicy crab, portuguese sausage, or flying saucers. They’re prepared food is great too, I love the kim chee fried rice omelet or the brisket bomb. Been coming here for years, owners are really kind hardworking people. My favorite breakfast spot in lihue!“

“The best coffee spot on the island! All made to order- we got pour overs brewed from freshly roasted beans. The baked goods were heavenly, Kouign Amann (croissant meets macadamia nut and honey) is a MUST!! Next fav choice personally was the cinnamon scone. Opens relatively early for your early adventures when most “breakfast” options are closed“

“Great food awesome service! Best Poke bowl I've ever eaten.“

“One of the best pastrami sandwiches here! I like all the options for your order and the food was great. So good, in fact, that we're looking to go back for another lunch! It was pretty busy when we went, so the food took a while to come out. Definitely plan ahead if you're going during the lunch hour.“

“Randomly stopped at the coconut marketplace farmers market and I’m glad I did. Got a few things from their stall there and it was ridiculously good and also very reasonably priced. The woman who helped me was extremely kind and walked me through the options they had. There was some kind of sticky bun/cinnamon roll with macadamia nuts on it that called to me. It was so good that I’m going to go to their actual location and get another one sometime very soon. If you’re in the area I’d definitely suggest stopping by.“

“We stumbled across Sugar Skull while on vacation. The carrot cake is the best I have ever had. We just had 12 packs of macaroons shipped to us for my son’s 14th birthday. He is in heaven!“

“We love Passion Bakery ♡ Shaun and the whole staff are always ready to serve us with a smile. Malasada days are the best ♡“

“Loved our Easter decorating kit! Just the right amount of time for a toddler to do! And so yummy!“

“Best coffee and people in Kauai!“

“This is helpful when you are in a pinch but you pay for the convenience. To go food is disappointing compared to other nearby options. Don't order the boneless ribs, it's actually 2 strips of flank steak reheated on a flat top, not the same thing! Sushi Shiono makes good grab n go sushi and the Wine bar has some great options, for late night too.“

“Save your receipts! Apparently you can get free stuff if you spend enough 😟“

“Delicious food and coffee drinks! A must visit if you are on vacation. Worth the wait in line.“
