It’s a big space- with the bakery and restaurant together inside. We have been to the waikiki location before, so we knew what to expect. We ordered the chicken karaage and kimchi fries rice with spam. Both the dishes were good. The complimentary butter bun bread was tasty too. The staff were attentive and kind. We later got a glazed doughnut and lemon coconut cake slice. Both of them tasted great and were fresh. We enjoyed out visit here.
Tried this Liliha bakery hoping we just had an off experience at the Waikiki one previously. But this one also was just meh. The place inside was large, had a lot of seating and was clean, parking lot was decent enough. We got some cupcakes for a birthday party and some poi mochi donuts. Everything was just okay nothing to write home about. I prefer the poi donuts from another bakery nearby officially after another try. The presentation of these are great but the taste is lacking. The cupcakes were cupcakes nothing special or would bring me back. Liliha just isn't my thing after trying them again. Service was friendly and prompt, I did like that you had a number to get helped.
This place is where we are most of our lunches while working nearby. Everything on the menu is really good. A lot of comfort food, breakfast, and lunch. The Ham, cheese, & avocado, sandwiches are amazing, and the pork belly locomoco is a near second. The chicken and mushroom dish is also wonderful. The servers have always been friendly too.
This is 1 of the bakeries. Crowded at breakfast time, but, place is large enough that can accommodate swiftly. I didnt wait 2 minutes. I sat at counter that faces kitchen/bakery. Interesting/fun to watch them create the dishes/pastries they are known for. Staff is very friendly & attentive. I ordered house specialty, Mac & nut waffle w/ chicken Karaoke. Awesome suggestion/choice! After stuffing my face, I continued my calorie climax, by visiting the bakery counter. 🤦♂️🤷♂️ OMG!! The choices were unbelievable. "Ummm, 1 of those. 2 of that. 1 more of those, please" 😆 🤣 😂 A must stop on the island
Pricey for breakfast but worth it. Love this place. Eggs Florentine was perfectly cooked. Did not like the garlic fried rice, it would’ve tasted better with toasted garlic pieces. All the showcased baked goods looked so scrumptious I wanted to try them all. The grilled butter rolls with jelly were freshly baked and so airy & fluffy. Restaurant was packed on a Sunday morning. The tables are too small and too close together. Parking lot was full. Conveniently located near the airport making it a good place to grab something to eat before your flight.

Honolulu's beloved bakery and restaurant, serving fresh comfort food and pastries since 1950.
