4 Best Bakeries in Waimea

“We highly recommend Sandwich Isle Bread Company! The wedding cake they created for us was beyond anything we imagined, an absolute work of art. Our guests were in awe, with many unsure if it was even real until we cut into it! The flavors were just as incredible as the design, moist, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Zeke, the cake designer/baker, is clearly gifted, and the care she puts into her craft shines through in every bite. Suzette made the entire process seamless with excellent communication, and Brock delivered the cake flawlessly and right on time. This bakery is something special! We thank them deeply for being a part of our wedding day. Exceptional cake, fair pricing, and service that’s second to none. We’ll be recommending Sandwich Isle Bread Company to everyone we know!“

“We were a group of three families with teens and had so much fun. It is the most beautiful coastline! Since there had a been a “historic” storm the week we were there our amazing boat captain did an excellent job getting us out of the surf of the harbor and navigating the waves. Kai and Aka were super fun! They were all very informative about the history of Kauai. The most amazing part was how he got that boat in and out of the beautiful caves. We saw dolphins, and my favorite- sea turtles. Although the snorkel spot did not have as many fish or the best reef, it was still a great time and I would recommend it for the coastline itself. The lunch (Hawaiian plate of Kalua pork, shrimp & chicken) was the best I’ve had on a snorkel excursion in Hawaii.“

“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.“

“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!!!“
