Honu Bakery (Kamehameha Shopping Center)

This place is seriously one of those hidden gems in Hawaii! I’ve tried a lot of bakeries including many Korean bakeries in the U.S., and this one truly stands out. It’s the kind of place you keep coming back to once you try it. The Honu Latte, Turtle Bread, Egg Tart are my personal favorites. You can really tell their dough is different — soft, rich, and made with care. Nothing feels heavy or overly sweet, just really well balanced. Whether you’re visiting or living in Hawaii, it’s 100% worth stopping by! Highly recommend!🧡

The staff greeted us warmly from the moment we walked in. Most importantly, the bread itself is outstanding — a wide variety, all delicious. You can really feel the care and effort put into each and every bread. They are not overly sweet, incredibly soft, and even the cakes have a great texture. Especially when paired with the Honu latte, the flavors of the bread really shine. You can truly tell that everything is made with care and thoughtfulness.

Very cute bakery that felt like something you could find in Asia. I only purchased the famous Honu bread to try because I love chestnuts. Unfortunately there are not many in the Honu bread I had, or raisins either. But there is so much whipped cream or butter cream?

Went to this location on Monday morning and from the moment I stepped into Honu Bakery, I was greeted with the smell of fresh breads. Their famous Turtle Bread was ON POINT - a must try. And the owner, Jin, along with the rest of the team were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. I highly recommend this bakery to anyone!!

The best bakery in Hawaii. The owner and staff are very friendly and always smiling! I can tell the breads are baked freshly every morning and I will definitely come back!
