Honu Bakery

Honu Bakery Established in 2004, our first store quickly became a favorite among locals for its delicious and affordable breads, pastries, and cakes.

What sets Honu Bakery apart from global bakery chains in Hawaii is our commitment to freshness and local production.

A new upgrade behind the counter — same handmade bread, a better way to take care of you.

For 20+ years, every call to Honu came through the same old landline. No real way to keep track of who we talked to, what you ordered, or when to follow up. For a bakery built on looking after our ohana, that never quite sat right with us.

So we’ve been quietly fixing it — in two phases.
-Phase 1 (last year): We upgraded to a new point-of-sale system, so our regulars’ info finally lives in one organized place. It’s also how Honu Points was born — our way of giving a little something back to the ohana who keep walking through our doors. 🤙
-Phase 2 (this week): We retired the landline for a modern phone system.

What that means for you:
-Easier for our Kupuna to call in and order their favorite cakes — we know online ordering isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay
-Faster updates on holiday hours, special events, and what’s fresh out of the oven
-No more dropped follow-ups — when you ask us for something, it gets handled

We rolled it out at our Kam location a month ago, and as of this week it’s live at South King too.

Here’s the thing: the bread will always be the heart of Honu. But taking good care of the 24,000+ regulars who make this place what it is? That takes good systems too. We’re growing — carefully, the local way — so we can keep showing up for you.

Mahalo for being part of the Honu Ohana.

Many of you have been asking…

“What exactly is inside the famous Honu Bread?”

And now that our new Ube Honu Bread has joined the lineup, we’ve been getting that question even more.

So here’s a little look at what makes them special.

🥖 Top & Bottom Bread
Made from our signature in-house sweet dough. Soft, fluffy, slightly sweet, and baked fresh daily.

🤍 Buttercream
Our house-made buttercream that gives Honu Bread its rich, creamy, melt-in-your-mouth flavor.

🌰 Chestnuts
The secret kick. Sweet chestnuts add a unique texture and nutty flavor that makes Honu Bread unmistakably Honu.

🍇 Raisins
A touch of natural sweetness that perfectly balances the cream and chestnuts.

For the Ube Honu Bread, we simply swap our original buttercream for our homemade Ube Buttercream, while keeping the same sweet bread, chestnuts, and raisins that customers have loved for years. 💜

Simple ingredients. Timeless flavors. Made fresh every day.

No secrets here—just the same recipe that has made Honu Bread our best-selling signature item for years.

A loaf of Honu Bread and a cup of hot coffee in the morning… this is the true Aloha morning

In a world of mass-produced, frozen dough, we choose the path of craft.

For over 22 years, we’ve been more than just a bakery; we’ve been a part of your morning. Unlike the big chains, we proudly scratch-make our dough right here, baking it fresh every single morning to ensure that every bite is authentic.

For our local community, a warm piece of Honu Bread paired with a fresh cup of coffee isn’t just breakfast—it’s a ritual. It’s a culture.

Come experience the slow-baked tradition that Honolulu has loved for over two decades.

あさに たべる ほぬぱんと こーひー 一杯は、はわいの ぶんかです

ハワイの朝を彩って22年。私たちには、譲れないこだわりがあります。

多くのベーカリーが冷凍生地を使う中、私たちは今も店内で手作りし、毎朝丁寧に焼き上げています。手間ひまを惜しまず、素材の魅力を最大限に引き出すこと——それが長年愛されてきた理由だと信じています。

それは単なる朝食ではなく、この島に根付いたひとつの“文化”。
職人の温もりが宿る究極の組み合わせを、ぜひお楽しみください

이른 아침에 먹는 거북이빵과 커피 한 잔은 하와이의 문화입니다.

섬 곳곳에 체인점들이 들어오고 세상은 빠르게 변하지만, 저희의 새벽은 22년 전이나 지금이나 변함이 없습니다.

냉동 생지를 구워내는 간편함 대신, 저희는 매일 반죽을 직접 빚어냅니다. 느리지만 정직하게, 갓 구워낸 빵의 향기로 아침을 여는 것—그것이 저희가 로컬 커뮤니티와 약속한 진심입니다.

누군가에게는 이미 일상이 된, 거북이 빵 한 점과 따뜻한 커피 한 잔. 이제 이 특별한 조합은 하와이의 하나의 문화가 되었습니다.

오늘 아침, 당신의 문화를 만나러 오세요.

Ube has been a local favorite in Hawaiʻi for years.

But surprisingly, not many local businesses have truly explored how special and versatile ube can be.

At Honu Bakery, we’re honored and excited to be part of bringing more Ube creations to our community — not just as a trend, but as products we genuinely believe people will love and come back for.

And with the launch of our brand new Ube Honu Bread, here’s our current full lineup of Ube favorites:

🍵 Ube Foam Matcha Latte
🥭 Ube Foam Mango Latte
🍌 Ube Banana Pudding
✨ Ube Custard Cream Puff
🍞 Ube Cream Bun
