Kamehameha Bakery: Discover Honolulu's Best Donuts and Local Pastries

Absolutely delicious poi donut—if you get one thing from here, get it. Also got the cream cheese cinnamon donut topped with nuts (essentially a cinnamon roll with nuts but with a donut base). That was massive, very sweet, and very filling. The inside can get kind of cramped with a long line but I’d say it’s worth it.

Glazed doughnut with chocolate center was awesome. Doughnut was fresh and soft. The chocolate was ono, one of the best I’ve had. (Seemed like a little hint of coffee, but maybe my imagination…) Malasada was good, but not hot and crispy like when you get it fresh from the truck. Haven’t tried the other doughnuts yet so will provide update soon.

Great bakery!!! Unfortunately I got there too late, everything I wanted was sold out. Most of all their products was sold out. The staff informed me that has never happen before early in the day. It was Mardi Gras- Fat Tuesday. In hawaii it's celebrated by buying Malasadas. They have such great pastries. Maybe next time I'm in the neighborhood. I'll go and get my favorites. Highly recommended.

Single greatest bakery i’ve ever been to in my entire life. I’m a tourist, was expecting super expensive donuts. Crazy value and unbelievably tasty. The cinnamon cream cheese roll was the greatest taste that has ever graced my taste buds. I would fly 10 hours just for this bakery.

Came here for the first time in a looooong time. I always order the famous Poi Glazed donuts. It’s so good and delicious. The right amount of glazed sugar all over the fried malasada poi flavored donuts. They have many other varieties, but this is my favorite. Line can get long so you can also phone order. Staff are super friendly and fast. Lots of parking and surrounded by lots of good eats.

I traveled to Hawaii from Japan for a vacation. While famous places like Leonard’s are great for malasadas, the local flavors here are also simple and delicious!! They offer a wide variety of breads, so you can enjoy many different kinds. Even after some time has passed, the bread stays soft, making it perfect for travelers to take along as a snack.

Best Bakery on Oahu — Worth the Drive! Kamehameha Bakery Inc is hands down the best bakery on Oahu! I drive all the way from Kailua just to get a bite of their incredible treats — and let me tell you, it’s always worth it. My absolute favorite is the poi donut with coconut filling — soft, flavorful, and unlike anything else you’ll find. This place is a must-visit if you’re ever in Hawaiʻi. Just make sure to go early because the lines can get long — it’s that popular and for good reason. The aunties behind the counter are sweet, welcoming, and clearly know what they’re doing. Every item I’ve tried is made with love and packed with flavor. Local, authentic, and consistently amazing — Kamehameha Bakery is a true island gem.

Local donut shop, with no frills but tons of great options. I’m a tourist and was recommended by family/friends for their poi glaze donuts. Did not disappoint, you taste the poi and it wasn’t overly sweet. $1.50/donut. Also grabbed a haupia malasada. So many great items looks like they are worth a grab. Will stop by again when we’re back on the island. Parking lot wise, can be pretty busy as a fully plaza. Was able to find parking right away but definitely a place where 90% of the parking lot can be full.
