Passion Bakery Cafe

Crema's Take
“This cozy Lihue bakery has earned serious acclaim for its malasadas, with regulars raving about their warm, pillowy texture and creative fillings like lilikoi, ube, and the legendary POG combination that keep people coming back multiple times during their visit. Beyond the standout Portuguese pastries, Passion Bakery offers a surprisingly varied menu of freshly baked goods and light fare in a tight but welcoming space that feels authentically local and family-friendly. It's the kind of spot where you'll want to arrive early to catch the warm malasadas fresh from the kitchen.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

I’ve been coming to passion for several years now. But recently I had a bad experience ordering from their website. I’m also not one to write reviews, but I felt should. On their official website to order online they have a $10 off discount. I decided to use it to order today. I…
I might be biased, but the POG (Passion/Orange/Guava for newbies to the islands) filled Malasada is the absolute BEST I have ever had. If you are near the Coconut Grove marketplace you need to go here. I can't comment on the food, but people we chatted with said it was good. …
