Kamehameha Bakery

Kamehameha Bakery is a Honolulu institution that has been making fresh Hawaiian pastries daily for over 40 years, operating out of a low-key strip mall location on Kalani Street that opens as early as 2:00 AM for dedicated regulars and night-shift workers. The bakery bills itself as the "Home of the Haupia Malasada & Glazed Poi Donut," with its signature purple poi-glazed donuts consistently selling out before sunrise. The menu reflects Hawaii's multicultural baking traditions, offering everything from Portuguese malasadas and Filipino ensaymada to apple fritters and banana cream cheese rolls.
