Liliha Bakery - Honolulu

Our first evening in Oahu was held in Liliha Bakery. We had dinner first. You took our big party fast. We were all exhausted and jet lay, with Hawaiian comfort food was perfect in the first night. We had a variety of dishes between us, we tried each other?s meals and the choice for the best was for the Teriyaki chicken, fried rice and these butter rolls with a little pink diving sauce. It was delicious. We bought baked goods before we left. The children loved the cupcakes, the Danish was so good, the apricot especially. The Scones were also delicious. I don't think you went wrong with one of the baked things.

Chocolate Eclair is very delicious! Chocolate upstairs is rich and creamy and the Custard filling is perfect. The Poi Ring Donuts are soft and chewing with exactly the right amount of glazing on the outside. (They taste similar to Mr. Donuts' ring donuts in Japan). Very recommend these two treats. Now the chocolate chip cookies are not so delicious. It is not crispy and the cookie has a gland almost sugar-free quality. Do not recommend the chocolate chip cookies. As a side note, I prefer the Liliha/Kuakini St. location over the Nimitz, could be my imagination, but the pastries taste better at Kuakini St. location.?

Really good pastries. The Lilikoi and Adzuki Malasadas had generous amounts of filling. My former boss always brought us the cream puppets. I think the matcha is the best.

Matcha galore! The cream puff is by far my favorite, the crème inside and on top are not too sweet but just enough to have you coming back for more. Mochi donuts had a wonderful chewy texture to it and balance in sweetness as well. So far everything I have tried has not disappointed.

Always a must when I come home. Must haves for me are their pancakes, Loco Moco, and Chantilly Cake. Not a fan of their coco puffs. The original location is our preferred spot, and we prefer the bakeshop seating because it's warm and you can witness the bakers in action! Not like dining at the counter, which gets crowded and cold!
