Punalu'u Bake Shop

Driving by? Then stop here for some great Malasadas & an Iced Coffee ☕. The sandwich was pre-made, but was fresh! They offer covered tables and seating around the shop and while we were there they had live music. Currently they only offer porta potties, but they did have hand washing units!

I just moved Hilo side from O'ahu, so I'm out doing touristy things with my mom's. Had a nice drive out to Kona and stopped here, as I alway enjoy the breads & rolls. I decided to get a hamburger steak plate lunch and my mom got the hot pastrami & Swiss cheese sandwich. My mom said her sandwich was pretty good, unfortunately mine tasted like it came from a retirement home. For $14.49 I was expecting, we'll I guess hoping, the hamburger was good. McDonalds hamburgers taste better. We also got a mango & regular malasada, those were good. And a pack now guava sweet rolls for French toast in the morning. I totally took advantage of the samples of rolls 😍🤙

This place might be good for its baked goods, but it’s a pretty disappointing spot for lunch. It stays busy mostly because tour guides often stop here. Still, I’d recommend trying their baked treats — that’s where they really shine. Prices are reasonable.

Busy tourist stop but worth the Visit! The Apple Cinnamon Bread was out of this World GOOD! Delicious. The pre-made tuna sandwich was also fresh & very good. Plenty of covered seating away from crowded Store. Clean. Very kind helpful service and fairly priced. Definitely worth the drive & time.

What a wonderful place tobstop at! They have 2 large gazebos to eat at. The smell of the fresh backing that happens when you are here is mouth watering. Food is very good, with plenty of sweets to choose from.
