Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Oahu

"This old-style eatery has tons of character, and you'll enjoy stepping in to watch the short order cooks work their magic. If you want to grab a homey breakfast or a burger, have a seat at the counter and place your order. If you want a slice of pie, savor it there, or have it wrapped up for home."

"Their well-known cream puff is called coco puffs, which is filled with chocolate pudding and topped with macadamia nut Chantilly frosting. The coco puff is very special because it is only sold at Liliha Bakery and found only in Hawaii!. The coco puff is so yummy that it just melts in your mouth!"

"Leonard's is a place you've likely heard of on any site you've visited about the best places to eat Oahu, and that is because it is an Oahu staple!. They serve malasadas which is a Portuguese donut more or less without the hole in the middle. Can't miss this when you are in town!"

"Leonard’s Bakery is the home of the popular and well-loved Malasadas. A couple from Portugal, Arsenio and Amelia DoRego founded this bakery in Maui. They used to be workers in sugar cane fields."

"Get your hands on some darn good ice cream at Lappert’s Hawaii!. Their ice cream is handmade and premium quality. Their best selling ice cream is the “Kauai Pie”, which is made of Kona coffee ice cream, coconut flakes, dark chocolate fudge, Hamakua macadamia nuts and vanilla cake crunch."

"The line was about an hour long, which we realized was due to only two people working trying to both take orders and make drinks. The coffee was also pre..."

"The long-running business has been making warm and fluffy pasteries since 1978 and is known for its widely popular poi donut. Other local offerings include haupia malasadas and okole bread alongside classic baked items like croissants and banana fritters."

"Values-led, Vermont-based ice cream company with locally owned and operated Scoop Shops, known for its euphoric flavors and commitment to using high-quality, responsibly sourced ingredients."

"Maunalua Bay is one of the best beaches in Oahu if are interested in kayaking, canoeing or boating. Located on the south coastline near Hawaii Kai, Maunalua Bay was named after the two mountains known as Koko Crater and Koko Head. Swimming is not the best at Maunalua Bay because of its shallow waters and rocky bottom."

"After checking into our apartment in Waikiki, we changed and headed down to the beach at Kuhio Beach Park. But not before stopping for brunch at Eggs ‘n Things, a popular spot on the main street, Kalakaua Avenue. I had a cheese and bacon omelette, which came with a side (although it was massive) of pancakes and I added cream, blueberries and macadamia nuts. Too much, but awesome!"

"The strong waves and riptides will surely be to the delight of surfers and bodyboarders who want to hone their techniques. The waves are so strong that they can knock anyone off their feet, causing a hard landing in the sand. Thus, children shouldn’t swim here, but there are plenty of activities you can try, such as kite-flying."

"Sandy Beach is a popular beach in Oahu for water sports such as surfing and body-boarding because of the massive waves that reach heights of 20-30 feet during the winter months. If you’re not a strong swimmer, make sure you stay ashore. It’s also famous for being near the house President Obama stays at when he visits Oahu."

It is definitely one of the best waterfalls in Honolulu!. While there’s heavy foot traffic, this moderate Honolulu waterfall hike is marvelous."

"Located a few miles north of Honolulu, Sea Life Park is a great place for aquatic adventures. It mixes elements of a zoo, aquarium, natural park and wildlife sanctuary, and the results are a rollicking good time for all. What are the best activities in Sea Life Park?"

"20 km from city center 8 out of 58 places to visit in Honolulu. Sea Life Park is located on Oahu's beautiful shore, huddled below the grand Koʻolau Mountain Range. The Park is home to a variety of marine mammals and wildlife animals."

"Sandy Beach Park is a great place to go watch experienced bodysurfers and bodyboarders take on some of the roughest breaks on the island of Oahu. Located on the southeastern coastline, Sandy Beach Park is known as the “the beach with broken necks” and is visited mostly by locals. The powerful currents and steep shorebreaks combined with outcrops of sharp coral as well as a quick drop-off of the ocean bottom, makes this one of the best beaches in Oahu among experienced bodyboarders and bodysurfers."

"Of the choices you’ll have, our pick for the best Oahu Instagram spot in the park is Sherwood Beach. Here, you will find the softest, silkiest white sand you could hope for, as well as distant mountainscapes and stunning turquoise water. As pretty as Sherwood Beach is, and it is pretty, things only get better as you drive north…"
