Liliha Bakery: An Iconic Hawaiian Dining Experience in Waikiki

Yelp find. After 40 years, I made it back to the islands. I tried this place via Yelp, and I wanted Hawaiian type food. I went with the spam and eggs breakfast. The potatoes were good and crispy on the outside and tender inside. I also had Plantation Ice Tea which was pineapple juice, lemon, and tea. It's really good.

Came here for dinner the first night in Waikiki and also came here for breakfast another time during our stay. The service is amazing our server for dinner was so attentive and kind. The Butter fish plate is a must try. Their bread and jelly appetizer was so delicious. Everyone was so happy with the plates they ordered each time we dined. We also did a pick up at their bakery which is very busy every day.

The food and pastries here are out of this world delicious. We got the garlic shrimp with fried rice and it was so tasty. The warm buttery rolls with the jam are mouthwatering. We tried a good amount of pasteries and everything was excellent. The severs are very nice. This place is a staple for our family to go to.

without question, these were the coco puffs fergie was talking about. that's all i want to say. but yelp needs 85 characters from me soooo

Went here with my family for lunch and we were not disappointed. We were seated inside cause it was toasty outside. The menu items were different and looked delicious. We went with the short rib moco loco, spam and kimchi fried rice, and the kids shared the chicken teriyaki with fried rice. I also had a delicious guava ice tea, and hubby had a beer. The food was on point! It came out pretty quickly and that brown gravy was slap ya momma good! We devoured the food. I will say it was just a bit salty for how I cook but it was not a meal I could say no too. We didn't try the bakery items because we left stuffed, but they too looked delicious. This is definitely a place you'll enjoy. Hits all the marks - great ambiance inside or outside, great customer service, delicious food, and the prices were reasonable.

So yummy! There were glass cases of various pastries and cakes, and it was tough to decide what to order... I ordered the following and I enjoyed them in the following order: - Guava cream cheese strudel (great combination of savory + sweet) - Coco puff - Pineapple cream cheese pastry - Lilikoi malasada - Cream puff The line looked crazy inside the bakery, but it's quite orderly. You pull a number and wait for your number to be called, though it can get a bit crowded in the waiting area. On a weekday morning, I waited about 5-10 minutes to put my order in. There wasn't any coffee service at the pastry counter, so you'd have to get your coffee fix elsewhere.

Bakery counter is great! Such a gorgeous and vast selection of pastries with super quick service. I'd recommend enjoying your pastries asap after purchase because they don't hold up well after a day, especially if you're traveling and don't have a means to reheat them. It's located in the International Mall, so also tons of options for shopping and dining.

I first tried Liliha Bakery's Cocoa Puffs 5 years ago and they have been on my mind since. I finally got the chance to come back to Oahu to get some again. I ended up trying the green tea and chocolate puffs this time too. The green tea was great, but the chocolate was less of a cream and more of a thick chocolate ganache, which I did not enjoy much. The star of the show was the original cocoa puff which has a wonderful salty topping. The selection of breads and pastries were enourmous and the prices are not too expensive! I ended up loving everything I got so much that I went to the ala moana and Waikiki locations to grab more before I headed back to CA. I did not try the hot food but the dining area looked packed all the times I stopped by!

First time checking this location out! The place looks even bigger and more modern! Just stopped at the bakery this time, but didn't like how they packaged my pastries in separate containers. I was told that I must purchase 6 to get a box, I think that's terrible marketing and a terrible policy! Got the NEW GUAVA STRUDDEL & Guava cupcake!
