I asked if the croissants were baked this morning and they said it was, so proceeded to purchase two. Unfortunately they weren't fresh, they were stale. Not buttery as when fresh baked. What a shame.

Bakery items were alright, salted caramel cupcake a little dense & doesn't taste like caramel. They have items in the cases with no pricing on them. So for each individual item you're not actually sure how much it costs. The girl at the counter didn't even know the prices off hand, she had to look into her register screen. Also, ordered a passion tea & I didn't know you put a small cube of ice and not fill the drink to the top. Or at least make it appear that the drink is full. Not sure I would make a return here and go out of my way. Overheard them tell another customer sorry they're closed. it's like 2pm and your door is open.

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!!!

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.

You order inside and they give you a buzzer when your food is ready to be picked up. The wait was pretty long but we were waiting for 6 total sandwiches. The food was a bit skimpy for what they charge. I was told to come here and that the food was really really good, I felt a bit left down because it was hyped up so much. Maybe if it wasn't as hyped up. Great service, nothing to complain about there. They do have tables and chairs outside which was nice. Not bad but nothing special, give it a try if you want to support local!

I purchased a 6" cake. Cake was very dry with bad texture. I think it was previously frozen. I called the bakery to let them know and wanted a return call from manager or baker. Lady on phone took my name and number and said no would return my call. If they at least they tried to make it right I would be ok. Bakery to not return my call reflects that they are tired and my be should retire from the business Luckily a friend bought a cake from Safeway. It was way better Everyone ate the Safeway cake. Short and sweet cake was old and tired like the baker who bakes it

The people at the counter very nice ... but if you are coming to get Hawaiian sweet bread like you have seen on the food network... you will not get it... it was the previous owners. Ordered a croissant: it was burnt and dry ... a croissant is my way of comparing bakeries... unfortunately it did measure up ...
Doughnuts could be a bit fluffier. They always seem as if they are day old, even if we go in at opening times.

This has been one of my go-to places for the last couple years -- enough so that I would sometimes arrange shopping/errands so that I would land here for lunch, which usually concluded with something sweet. All the bakery items I've had are great -- lilikoi bars, donuts, banana bread, cupcakes. BUT I'm feeling grump today because they've discontinued the menu item that brought me in for those lunch stops, the Macnut Curry Chicken Salad. It was a light, flavorful, healthy lunch that offered the extra bonus of allowing me to feel a bit less guilty getting a cupcake afterwards. The sandwiches and breakfast items I've had there are okay (albeit a bit pricey), but this salad was special and unusual, and it's gone. I'll be visiting less often.
