Crema's Take

“Tucked in a Lihue shopping plaza, Kauai Bakery is beloved for their pillowy malasadas, particularly the ube variety, which reviewers rave about alongside creamy specialty lattes like their macadamia nut blend. The bakery strikes the perfect balance between being a quick, no-fuss morning stop and a destination worth planning around, with early visits rewarding you with minimal waits and the chance to snag these treats fresh before they sell out. Their pastries are so good that visitors literally pack them home across the country, a testament to how well these Portuguese-Hawaiian sweets hold up and how memorable the experience truly is.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

We tried out many of the different malasadas and really enjoyed them all! The ube (the purple one) was my favorite and I would say is a must try! I also tried the macadamia nut latte - really good but definitely a sweeter coffee drink. We were able to stop by when there was no…
