    Originally came into contact with this business at the "made in Hawaii" convention at the Ala Moana mall. My wife and I fell in love with their aloha stuffed bread and, decided to go to their actual location a few days later to see what else they had. The service here is amazing and the cashier was very patient and allowed me to study the menu. We ended up getting a breakfast sandwich on a bagel (flavor of our choice), two frozen caramel coffees (delicious) a scone and two more aloha breads. All was delicious. Just be aware, this place is located right in the middle of the city so parking might be hard to find. Also, their interior and upstairs dining area was closed due to COVID restrictions.. So orders were taken at the door for takeout. They did have two small tables out front to eat, at though. Overall, it was a great experience!

    What a sleeper of an amazing spot this is. The hours are weird, the location is weirder, and the shock that keeps growing the more you search around is endless. From the outside it's hard to tell that there is a retail establishment present because it's tucked behind parked cars on the street. The window unit a/c pours water all over the sidewalk where there are 2 dinky tables that wobble harder than I do after 2 bottles of wine. ... just wait, complements are coming... Then you order the food. The menu is small and concise, mainly focusing around baked goods that I assume they bake off-premise like the delicious scones, sandwiches, and their "alohabread", which is pretty much like a calzone. They usually have daily specials that are DELICIOUS, and the daily soups are worth every calorie. For lighter meals, I've been going with a salad and a protein, and it's plenty for lunch. Oh yeah, remember that seating I was complaining about? They have a seating area upstairs that looks like it would be small and dark from the outside, but it's huge and beautiful up there. Grab your food from the take-out style situation downstairs and enjoy your meal in a delightful seating area upstairs. Do it.

    The downtown location; I had the Aloha Bakehouse Burger with a cold brew. Very tasty burger and the Brioche Bun was fresh bake, excellent choice for the burger. Cold brew was fresh and smooth tasting, I ordered the small size cold brew and they give you a good size cup. Two thumbs up!

    Food is good, they have a nice space too hang out and work upstairs. They recently made a change where they will no longer bring your order upstairs to the dining room instead insisting that you wait outside. It kind of obnoxious that I have to wait around 10 minutes outside when I could be working to save them a one minute trip upstairs.

    Stopped in here for a late breakfast, but opted for a Taco Tuesday taco salad instead and an Aloha iced coffee. Portions were very generous, with lots of guac. Staff was super friendly, and took the time to chat with me, tell me about the food, and just be over-all awesome with a tourist. No questions asked, would recommend and come again.

    A mom and pop coffee shop in the heart of Kaka'ako. The coffee is ordered curbside, and enjoyed upstairs. When you think coffee shop, the dine in area of Aloha Bakehouse is what should come to mind. I went to study and the atmosphere is idyllic and relaxing. Honestly I would go here to work or study just for the space. However, Aloha Bakehouse & Cafe also has fantastic coffee, beverages, and grindz. I had a white chocolate café mocha and croissants sandwich that we're delightful. Great coffee, delicious food, and big vibes, highly recommend swinging through Aloha Bakehouse & Cafe the next time you need a morning brew.

    Cute little bakery with coffee and some food items for lunch. Tried their scones and it was very very yummy... Had some unique flavors like pineapple... tried their blueberry cream cheese and pineapple scone and they were both delicious.... crunchy on the outside and soft/moist on the inside... one of my new favorite places for scones... really want to try their aloha bread next!! Looking forward to my next visit!!

    Great food, had the Aloha Bread with spinach and cheese and the Aloha Cold Brew. Both were delicious. The seating area upstairs is adorable!!!

    Super chill place with a GREAt coffee selection. The scones are delightful. The breakfast sandwich on cheddar bagel is a must!

    Our family loves this cute coffee shop. I was introduced to this shop by my mortgage broker. My son loved their Meat Lovers Aloha Bread and Lychee Ice Tea. Their Acai Bowl was also good with fresh fruits. For quick lunch, I ordered their Chicken Teriyaki Salad or breakfast burrito. For the price, I feel like they are reasonable and plenty. Their seating area was really nice and comfortable. It is spacious and great place to hangout or work.

    This local bake shop serves fresh breads and scones that are really fresh and delicious. They are also at the swap meet if you want some. Located behind Pacifica Honolulu. Buy local support local. Aloha

    Tucked away in a very obscure little area, it was worth looking for. The Aloha bread is fantastic! Kept going back for more at the Swap Meet so decided to try it in person. Bought them for our neighbors for Valentine's Day. And the cherry creamcheese scone and iced coffee made my morning!!! Gotta try this place.

    This place is amazing. Grabbing breakfast bento or scones is great. But hot damn their aloha bread and homemade soup combo is killer. Wish I had taken a picture earlier but I ate it too quickly.

    hands down the best bake house on the island and if they were in the mainland they would be in the top 10 of best food, drinks, bread, peanut butter, smoothies, plate lunches, Salids, ect, i mean you name it. I love Aloha Bake House'

    This is an excellent little shop for delicious homemade foods like pastries, salads and breads stuffed with spinach, cheese and pepperoni if you want. Special beverages, coffee and tasty flavored teas. I usually buy a couple to take home for later. There are only 2 tables out front and just 3 parking spots, so basically grab and go unless you're lucky to sit. Locally run , so go support

    Cute little tucked away seating area with top notch (if a little crumbly) scones. The service was great. They even accommodated my iced coffee being in a mug so I didn’t have to waste a plastic cup. Excited to come back soon!

    Quiet coffee shop that has a variety of food and drinks. They range from expresso,latte,to soups,pastries. Quite a menu. They have a sitting area upstairs that has self serve water . Quite a large area to sit with about 8 tables spaced apart .There is always people waiting in line. Located in the back of the Pacifica building.
