Bakeries in Waimea

“We wholeheartedly believe that Patisserie Nanako is the best bakery on the Big Island. Our love story with their cakes & pastries began last year when we were on the island for wedding planning, and my sister - who is a HUGE fan of the bakery - insisted we give them a try. From the very first bite, we were totally blown away. We tried a variety of their cakes, and they were all equally delicious - moist, perfectly balanced, and not too sweet. When our wedding reception arrived in April 2025, Patisserie Nanako created not just one, but four cakes for us: coconut, tiramisu, lilikoi, and strawberry. Every single one was a hit! Our guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious the cakes were, and many of them kept asking where we got them. We saved our main cake to enjoy on our one-year anniversary, and we are already looking forward to eating it! A special thank you to Jimmy for being so kind, flexible, and easy to work with throughout the planning process. If you're on the Big Island and looking for pastries / cakes for your wedding, or simply to enjoy as a treat, come here!!!“

“If you haven’t been to sugar roots for coffee and a sweet baked treat you should add it to your list now. The owner, Brittnee, born and raised in Kauai, creates a warm welcoming atmosphere. She is an incredibly talented baker and this is not a place to be missed. While there be sure to take moment to read through the history of her family that she openly shares through photos and books.“

“Stopped by to get a snack in the way to the beach and snorkel. So happy we made the detour! Incredible fresh Malasadas with lilikoi, lilikoi cheesecake and pineapple with the li hing dusting. Absolutely incredible! The aloha mocha was also incredible. If I lived here I'd be there everyday!!!!“
