The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the staff were kind and helpful. My pulse instantly started racing when I saw the display case! A truly excellent variety of sweet treats and baked goods. All of them perfectly decorated and lovingly displayed! It was really hard to decide. I got a piece of the flourless chocolate cake and it % broke da mouth! The rich, bittersweet cocoa flavor of the cake was perfectly complimented by the lightly sweet whipped cream topping. I was invited to sign up for a loyalty points program, so I will definitely be heading back soon to try some of their other luscious-looking items.

We ordered two custom cakes – POG and triple lemon bliss – for my daughter’s first birthday. They were not cheap, but they were beautiful and delicious! Very moist, super creamy frosting, and not too sweet. We had just enough for our crowd of about 80 with no leftovers, everybody loved it! Definitely worth it for a special occasion.

Day one of the trip and I’ve found the bakery I want to eat at every day! The pastrami sandwich on panini was amazing. And their drip coffee was perfect. They also had all kinds of sweets I might have to check out on future trips on!

I absolutely adore this place. It’s very obvious that their sandwich’s and baked goods are made with a tremendous amount of love. The pineapple chunk on the side of my breakfast sandwich was a nice touch. I really appreciated the vegetarian option for the breakfast sandwich. My favorite go to’s are the million dollar Mac nut bar and the avocado BLT. Thanks for being great.

It is a great bakery offering a wide variety of pastries and desserts. The staff is incredibly welcoming and readily answers any questions about their sweet treats. During our visit, they generously offered complimentary samples of the brauni.

Beautiful bakery shop in Hilo!! We stopped here on our way to Volcano national Park. It isn’t on the way but it’s a short stop from the airport. Head here to get your breakfast and then enjoy your day in the national Park!!!

First day on the island. Hotel coffee was mud almost killed me.
So we ventured here for coffee breakfast sandwiches and macadamia nut coffee cake.
In a strip mall and only patio seating. But everything was delicious.

I was underwhelmed. $14.95 for the smallest breakfast bowl I have ever seen. The menu linked on Google advertised $9.95. My son’s croissant didn’t taste buttery and was more chewy than flaky.
