Hanalei Bread Company

If you are a large group you have garden seating available in front of this place, there are always a few spots here and there for singles or couples. I had great food with high quality ingredients and beautifully put together. Loved the vibes and everyone was just so friendly. They also offered lunch style food if you want to take some for later and have that by the beach.

We had the avocado toast w/egg and a waffle, both were incredibly delicious! A lot of times coffee is an afterthought at food-geared places, however my cold brew was excellent. I definitely recommend this stop in Princeville!

Best breakfast and lunch place in Kauai with limited opening hours. We have been there couple of times. Everything was very tasty and fresh. Portions are very generous. We also stopped again for takeout before our big hike too. Many people mentioned long wait time but the line moves fast. It does take around 15 min to eat.

Very popular spot, and for a reason! Stopped by twice during our visit to Kaua'i and left very happy both times. Food was yummy and unique/creative. Be prepared to wait in both line and for your food. If you have the time, it is worth it!

Hanalei Bread Company is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of Hanalei. The moment you step inside, you are greeted by an inviting and charming atmosphere that exudes relaxation and warmth. The family-friendly environment is enhanced by the sweet, comforting aroma of freshly baked bread that wafts through the air, promising a delightful culinary experience. Our visit at 7 am was nothing short of delightful, albeit we were taken aback by the already forming line, a testament to its popularity among locals and visitors alike. Despite the early hour, the place was buzzing with activity, and it was clear that Hanalei Bread Company is a beloved breakfast destination. My two daughters were absolutely thrilled with their choices. The waffle was a hit, perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The breakfast burrito was a flavorful medley of fresh ingredients wrapped in a warm tortilla, and the ham and cheese croissant was a delightful balance of savory and buttery goodness. All these delicious dishes were complemented perfectly by the refreshing "monkey juice" that my daughters devoured eagerly. Every bite confirmed why this eatery has such a dedicated following. The quality of the food, the charming ambiance, and the friendly staff all contribute to an experience that is both memorable and satisfying. I would strongly and emphatically recommend Hanalei Bread Company to anyone looking for a delightful breakfast spot. It is the perfect place to start your day, with its welcoming atmosphere and delicious offerings. Don't miss out on this local treasure!

Stayed in Princeville for eight days and had breakfast here seven times. They have excellent coffee and food. The ingredients are fresh and homegrown. We tried a variety of their options including the fruit bowl, burrito, and avocado toast. We also enjoyed the egg sandwich. They started each of our days off with happy bellies. The staff is very nice and welcoming. Thank you!

Cute little cafe near Hanalei beach! Really delicious toasts, I had the olive and fromage blanc with egg on top - perfect for the savoury breakfast folks. My partner had a waffle with berries which was also very good. We tried a macadamia milk latte, good quality coffee. The staff was friendly and the environment is relaxed and cute. Would definitely come back to try other breakfast toasts!

This, my dudes, is where you want to get breakfast in Hanalei. Hanalei Bread Company has a solid menu with broad appeal. Great location in the heart of Hanalei. It gets busy but the friendly staff are efficient and do their best to minimize wait times. Tables are found on their patio or at covered tables on the lawn in front of the restaurant. If you eat out there, Kauai’s ubiquitous chickens will be your dining companions. All a part of the Kauai charm. I got the Brekkie Sandwich and boy oh boy, it’s a winner. This is not a dainty breakfast sandwich. Loaded with tomato, greens, crispy bacon, and egg, it will sate your appetite. The flavors play well off each other too. The bread holds up well too. Loved this sandwich. My wife got the peanut butter toast and loved it. I can’t comment on it because in my book, peanut butter is straight from Satan’s pantry. Highly recommend Hanalei Bread Company.

Really yummy breakfast! We were there every morning of our trip. Amazing coffee And the best breakfast burrito you will eat. We came with a big group and they were very accommodating as some of us had food restrictions. If you're in town I would definitely recommend this place

What time does breakfast service end? It's anyone's guess! It says 12:30 on Yelp & Google but accordinv to the rude staffer at 12:03 it says noon on Instagram. So lesson learned, we return despite rudeness, at 11:30 am the next day. Yet there is a handwritten note posted that today they'll close at 11:45. Thankfully, there's only 2 people ahead of us. When we get to the front of the line, the cashier walks toward us never making eye contact, changes the "stand here" sign to "Food Service is closed, Mahalo for understanding. The cashier retreats to the register & when we try to place an order points to the sign. It is not 11:40. When we point to the 11:45 sign, the lady making coffee yells its not her decision. Then the manager speaks to us about our two days in a row of being turned away and their changing times. She asks the kitchen but then turns back and says they're backed up and kitchen staff won't be able to finish on time so no food for us! She admits this happens from time to time so if you're still interested in going to thus unprofessional establishment, go early and don't expect friendly service.

This is a regular spot we come to for breakfast every time we are in Kauai. It's hit or miss but when there's a rush of customers, the line gets long. That being said, we've never left feeling like it wasn't worth the wait. We've enjoyed everything from their more savory breakfast items, pastries, or acai bowls. It's located in a small but busy area of restaurants and shops so lots to see in the area after brekkie here. Pros: Good variety of breakfast options, smoothies, acai bowls, pastries, and breakfast foods Cons: Line is long during peak times

Great little place in the Hanalei shopping center. Be prepared to wait if you want to eat breakfast or order a sandwich. This place is popular. The bread looks amazing, but I already had some at my place. Pastries and coffee are a great choice and fast.

10/29/24 Great stop in Hanalei for light breakfast, java & pastries, Hanalei Bread/Co Roasters. Once again, dropping by to get a bag of beans for my boss. At around 9 am, we must've just missed the morning rush. I was the only one in line at first. I ordered an oat milk latte, espresso muffin and a bag of beans for the boss. My drink was ready in no time & I found a seat facing Ching Lung. Within minutes a table opened up & grabbed that one. My hot oat milk latte was pretty good, it tasted more milk than coffee. The muffin was moist but mediocre at best-- Hubby enjoyed it though. I was hoping it would taste more coffee-like. Staff were friendly & responsive. What more could you ask for? Sit & sip, let the chickens grub around your feet, watch people, I am on vacation. We parked by the old school a few doors down. October is ideal if you want to relax & be low key. Loving it!

We went at 8am on a Sunday, and they had a sign saying they ran out of biscuits and scones. They also had a sign saying smoothie bar closed, no bowls and no smoothies. The espresso muffin was really delicious. I usually am not a muffin person, but it was really good. The top had crispy bits, and there was a layer of chocolate dolloped on top too. (It doesn't taste like coffee or espresso- I think it's called espresso muffin bc it's kind of like coffee cake, but in muffin form) The breakfast sandwich was big and tasty. Definitely hit the spot.

Everything is delicious Food : ! The breads and sandwiches are all 5 star We liked the muffins and the breakie sandwich and the apple toast. Good coffees . - see photos Service : great Location: convenient downtown Hanalei Facility : outdoor tables and bar

Got there at 0830, so the line was short. We split a breakfast burrito. I appreciate that it wasn't overly salty, but some may think that makes it a little bland. The salsa helped make it a bit more tangy.

Hanalei Bread Company is a popular spot in Kauai, especially during the morning hours. With a convenient free parking lot across the street, it's easy to access. Despite the crowds, the service was surprisingly efficient. I arrived early to grab a chai latte and found a line of people waiting for their breakfast and coffee orders. While it wasn't the best chai latte I've ever had, it was undoubtedly the best I encountered on the island. The flavors were well-balanced, although it could have benefited from a slightly stronger chai taste. After a 10-minute wait to order and another 5-minute wait for my drink, I was finally able to enjoy my beverage. Keep in mind that Hanalei Bread Company only offers outdoor patio seating, so be prepared for potential crowds and weather changes. Despite the wait and the slightly less-than-perfect chai, the overall experience was enjoyable, and I would definitely recommend this spot for a morning coffee or breakfast.

We came around 7:20 am, and there was still a line down the ramp for about ~15 minutes. We were a group of 4. The brekkie sandwich and the avocado toast were very good, the ham and Swiss croissant sandwich was ok. I got the chai spice smoothie, and it tasted great, but still had some solid chunks of banana which was kinda strange. The various coffees were good but took a while to be made. Seating was competitive, but we did end up getting a table for 4 since our orders took a while.

I was super bummed to visit in a day they were not making sandwiches due to staffing shortages. Came back the next day to have coffee and a BLT. Both are good! The bread they made the sandwich with was soft and chewy!

The line was short and staff were friendly. We ordered the Brekkie sandwich and it was delicious! We shared it and it was plenty. We also got the Belgian waffle but it was a disappointment. It came out hot but doughy and uncooked inside. It was a very pale yellow color, not what you expect with a waffle. I asked if they could remake it - but golden brown. When they brought out the new one, it wasn't much different, just hard and inedible around the edges. The Kona coffee was awesome so all in all I would recommend going here, just skip the waffle and get one of their delicious pastries instead.

Will you be served? Who knows? It depends on how enthusiastic the staff feel. What time does service end? Who knows? It says kitchen closes at 12:30 on Yelp and Google but they will tell you it says noon on their Instagram. So then even though the staff are rude in their demeanor you learn your lesson, you show up at 11:30 and you get in line. But this time there's a handwritten sign that says kitchen closes at 11:45. Well ok, you'll make it you think. Then the girl leaves the register at 11:40 and changes a sign right in front of you that says "Kitchen is closed, Mahalo for understanding" then retreats to the register and when you order a Brekkie Sandwich, again its no, no food for you. Maybe they should change their name to Bread Nazi because if you get food at all is up to the whims of who's working.

I would give this local business extra stars if I could! Easily our favorite bakery and coffee shop on the island. Delicious food, strong cappuccinos (and more), fresh breads and pastries using local ingredients, great lanai to sit and watch Hanalei town wake up, incredibly friendly and personable service, vegan & gluten-free options, and just good vibes all around! I used to live on Oahu but it had been several years since I last visited Kauai, so my hubby & I were stoked to be back and ended up coming to Hanalei Bread Co every day! Pro tip: go early to avoid a long queue! They're open daily from 7am-12:30pm. Our favorite things to get here: *Coconut Chia Muffin (vegan & GF) *Peanut Butter Toast (with local honey & macadamia nuts) *Avocado Toast (with local micro greens) *Blueberry Strawberry Hibiscus scone (so big!) *Banana Bread (wish they had a vegan one) *Freshly baked multigrain bread (or if you're lucky they have day-olds for half off!) *Cappuccinos, lattes, etc Big mahalos to Chanel and Sage for their friendly customer service and Aloha! We only wished that they would serve espresso drinks in mugs if dining in versus paper cups to reduce waste & single use items. Still absolutely love this place and recommend it to everyone!

I cannot say enough good things about the welcoming people and delicious food that makes this place special. We went on my birthday and returned during our stay on the island. We ate way more than we should have each time with no regrets. They never missed. Pastrami sandwich, avocado toast, olive tapenade, cinnamon roll, macadamia sticky bun, smoothies, mimosas. Great soundtrack of 90s RnB, nice open air deck that is clean.

Everything we ate we insanely delicious. Do not skip the macadamia nut scone. We went back everyday for it. The brekky sando was amazing, the girl who helped me suggested to get it on sourdough and add avocado. That was the key. So good. I love a good chai and this one did not disappoint. Go early but also....The wait is worth it!! They always over sell the wait times and food came out much quicker than expected. Seating is usually full but a short wait to get a seat with the best views of the cutest little Hawaii town.

The food is really good! Coffee is really expensive. It was over $9 for an iced latte. Overall was really good. Any of the toasts are good!

I have mixed feelings about this place. The food and service were very good. Kudos to the employees there for that. It's just that this place adds a 3% surcharge for "employee health benefits" onto the tab. Some places call it a credit card processing fee, but this place wants the customer to believe that the cost of employee health benefits is somehow connected to the price of the food and drinks (its a percentage charge based on the subtotal). So no mo sale, free health care??? LOL seems shady to me. Will not return to this place because of that. I get it. Nowadays it seems like every place is trying to squeeze the customer for more money due to 'high inflation', whether its through increasing prices, adding surcharges (sometimes without letting the customer know before ordering and paying about those surcharges), shrinking portion sizes but keeping prices the same, or some combination of all three. I wouldn't be surprised if the added profits from this so-called employee health benefits surcharge doesn't even go to the employees of Hanalei Bread Company, which would be a shame because we had a good experience here because of the employees.

Long line 45 minute point and it truly is that long to order. Timing is everything at this place but it's really fresh and good. We had the açaí bowl and shared it while waiting for the breakfast burrito which we also shared. Honestly, what took so long was two large families were in front of us so it took forever to get our food. Again, timing is everything. Location is in beautiful paradise so really no worries. Would definitely come back here. House made breads all looked good too. If I lived here I would shop here.

Im addicted officially! Had to go every morning while staying on the North shore. Honestly to me it was the best coffee on the island. Trust me I searched and nothing compared. The different toast selections were off the chart. The burrito was the best hearty option for my husband. The breakie sandwich was fine but the burrito wins by a long shot. For me it was the Avacado toast with added salmon. Oh wait I can't forget the perfected açaí bowl. Omg just all so good. Service also great!

Food was excellent. Great view from outside seating. Had a granola bowl and the smoked salmon toast. Both were excellent! Will definitely return.

Great place for breakfast and/or lunch. Good variety of offerings from breakfast sandwich to grilled cheese, avocado toast, açaí bowls, smoothies, coffee and baked yummies. Prices run consistent with the area about $15 per sandwich item and $5-$6 for coffee. Service was great- expect food to take a minimum of 20 minutes but everything is fresh. There's seating open air "inside" and some benches out in the grass. It's pretty popular and was busy both times we went. Order at the counter and they bring your food out to your table. Went back twice and I'd go next time we visit.

Absolutely loved the vibes here. Be prepared to wait 30-40 minutes for your food if it is busy, thankfully they update you on the expected wait time when you place your order. The food was well worth the wait. The peanut butter toast was to die for, as was the roasted vegetable panini. My husband enjoyed the brekkie sandwich although it was a little heavy on the aioli. Overall would highly recommend!

Great food, loved the covered patio for the rain. There's a grass area out front for the kids to run wild. And fresh bread to buy.

There is a coffee only section on the left side and a coffee and food section on the right side. Get here early or be patient find parking where it's legal but the food and coffee here are very good. Fresh ingredients. Wife ordered the fancy toast with goat cheese, smoked salmon, pickled onions, cherry tomatoes and micro greens. Great flavor combo. I had the macadamia sticky bun which was delicious. There is covered seating and some picnic tables on the grass. I ordered the sticky bun was nice and gooey and sweet but not overwhelming on the sweetness. If you're in a hurry you have to get here when they open at 7 am. If you just want coffee go to the coffee section on the left side. This place is good for groups you will find it challenging to find seating and end up eating in your car or getting it to go but this place is worth it. If you order coffee from the right side, wait them to call your name, if was not clear on what the workflow was until I asked the barista. Service:3/5-Kauai is laidback Depth of menu:5/5-sweet and simple Flavor:4/5 Good for groups:5/5 Cleanliness:5/5 Return visits:5/5 Overall I would comeback here again.

solid coffee shop that sells a variety of brunch and breakfast foods. we stopped in for an early lunch and ordered a breakfast sandwich and a coffee. the order took some time to get, maybe around 20-30 min. be warned the wait can be a while! there's even a sign that says to ask about wait times if you're in a rush. the brekkie sandwich was delicious, and my husband said he would come back again to get it. coffee was eh, I would've preferred to skip out on it.

The phone did not eat before this picture. But, that should tell you how yummy this place was. Highly recommend their breakfast sandwich. My boyfriend wanted to get their breakfast burrito every morning we were on the island. Coffees were decent. What made the place was the ambiance. Another must visit in Hanalei!

I am thrilled we found this place. We originally stayed in Poipu and extended an extra couple of days in Princeville; we had breakfast here back to back for our princeville days. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and provided excellent service. The food is unmatched. The Brekke sandwich and BLT were amazing!! Also ordered what is maybe the best iced matcha latte I've had. The restaurant is open-aired, usually has a line! But the line goes by quickly and in my opinion, is well worth the wait. Will definitely be back!

One of the best breakfast places in the north side of Kauai. We ended up getting food from this place 3 times. We tried the breakfast burrito and the vegetarian panini (without cheese). The dishes are large enough to share or have a second meal. We took our first order with us on the Kalalau trail hike. Unfortunately, they didn't have any plastic bags and we didn't come prepared, so we just wrapped our sandwiches in parchment paper. Expect a wait for food orders. Everything is prepared fresh!

I was not expecting much after looking for a breakfast place near where I was staying but this coffee and breakfast place was surprisingly nice. The mocha was delicious and not too sweet and the breakfast burrito was tasty with surprisingly good salsa. My partner loved her veggie panini and the sun-dried tomatoes offered a very nice flavor. Seating was limited and semi outdoors with a sink near the entrance which was a thoughtful addition as it lets you wash your hands before and after eating. Overall I'd absolutely go back and this was a very nice find

HBC was my families favorite place for breakfast on our recent trip to Kauai. We went 3-4 times. Oldest raved about the breakfast burrito, and younger 2 loved the bagels, avocado toast, and peanut butter toast. The Brekkie was my wife and my favorite. Do not sleep on the banana bread loaves! We never cared about the wait. Food always took about 30 minutes, but we didn't mind at all because the kids enjoyed chicken watching while we waited. And usually you can avoid the line if you just adjust your eating schedule a bit from when everyone else is going. It's a mad house in the mornings but it dies down late morning/early afternoon.

Again, I find that a good spot is worth a return visit. Also, when I order & enjoy delicious food, then look around at others' items, I usually want to return to try more. Such is the case here. The first time we came I ordered the lox & goat cheese toast. It comes with lots of fresh greens atop as well as some lovely edible flowers. The serving is large and could be shared if you ordered hearty beverages or just desired a midday munch. The restaurant is no fuss. But they have great triple filtered, chilled water available for self service. My drip coffee was excellent- strong and fresh but not bitter. And so, we returned after a hike, arriving w a hearty appetite. My husband was thrilled by his açaí bowl w peanut butter drizzle. I chose their grilled vegetable panini made w macadamia pesto. I think I could eat one daily for the next two weeks and look forward to it each day. The veggies were grilled nicely and the cheese & pesto kept them in place between the lovely, thick slices of fresh bakery bread. Too good!! We also purchased a loaf of their French bread to bring back to our condo. It was very fresh & soft. Furthermore, the cafe's location is great. There is ample people watching, shaded seating and fresh air. Also nice that locals & tourists can both enjoy the spot.

Just a note that when we went in June 2024 no sandwiches or toasties were available. Only breakfast burritos and brekkie sandwiches for food. My daughter had her heart set on a grilled cheese and I would have planned a different stop had I known.

Heads up their kitchen closes at 12pm so make sure you are there before. We tried their bakery items. The rosemary goat cheese biscuit was amazing and so flaky and buttery. We asked for them the warm it but they refused. Wish we could of tried more things on the menu. 1 star off because the service was not friendly at all.

Delicious breakfast burrito! There are very few breakfast places in Kauai so we were happy this was so good! Didn't mind the long wait because there are some lovely boutiques in this shopping center. Nice staff, definitely give it a try!

I figured this place was probably good based on the fact it always has a line out the door. I wondered if it was overrated as one of few brunch places in Hanalei. I was really impressed by the breakfast sandwich, they really nailed the texture of soft fluffy bun with soft fluffy eggs. The vegetables were fresh and tasted great. The bacon was very thin and crispy. We also got a breakfast burrito. I am usually skeptical of breakfast burritos that don't come with any meat, but they did a pretty good job with this one too. My wife was really impressed with the bean quality of the regular coffee she ordered. My only tip would be come early or be prepared to wait. This place is popular!

Hanalei Bread Company has an assortment of bread, prepared foods, drinks as well as coffee mugs and totes. If you're in a rush or just ordering your breakfast to go, there is a walk up window you can order from. Window is closed during peak times. You can expect long lines and wait time on the weekends - I went on a Saturday morning. I appreciate that they had signage with the approximate wait time displayed. The coffee is worth the wait if you have the time to spare. I didn't try the food - they were out of the pastries/breads I wanted to try. There are some great open air seating options indoors and outdoors.

Decent iced latte. The various toasts and sandwiches looked good but I wanted a hot sit down lunch after getting off the Na Pali Coast trail. The prices were about what I'd expect for a tourist town, about $6 for the iced latte, $13 for the various topped toasts. I wanted to try some baked good so I got a very expensive $4 thumbprint cookie.

The cinnamon rolls are to die for! The breakfast burrito was also VERY good. I went back a second time to try the scone- it was pretty good but not my favorite thing there. The line gets long - I always got there before 7:30am and had more luck. The coffee is just okay. Overall the service is fast and friendly. The vibe is beachy and high energy! The seating on their patio is pretty good- a little loud.

Busy place. Took a long time just to get a bagel and cream cheese. They do have 100% Kona coffee. Nice outdoor seating

A great place to have breakfast! A little pricey, and there was a long line, though it was worth having the avocado toast and breakfast burrito my wife and I had. They really stood out for their taste and freshness. The scenery near the restaurant is very good as well!

Well...finally made it back to Kauai after 5ish years and this time with our 2 year old!! Obviously, since we love staying on the north side of the island, going to HBC was a must. After all that time, my fond memories were immediately reanimated to life as we experienced the same excellent breakfast and coffee that we had years ago. Definitely must try HBC when staying in Hanalei area. Won't be disappointed!

Food was excellent and service was great! The menu options are amazing and plenty of different items to choose from for breakfast!

It was so yummy and great vibe. We went back twice. Now they have added the smoothie bar in afternoons and other pop ups. Would love to do that too!

One of my favorite breakfast spots in Hanalei! Wait can be a while, but it's worth it! Go early before the good pastries run out. The turnover was so good, and the fancy toast was yummy!! The olive toast was good, but not sure if I could finish the whole thing by myself. I also got the chai smoothie and it was really good. It's a great place to start your morning in town, and there's a lot of places to sit outside.

The food was great. The line was epic. We did 2 attempts and stayed the whole line once. I just wish the line was shorter.

We stopped at Hanalei Bread Company for brunch and found the place packed. There was quite a line to order food and a long wait to receive it. We had the croissant sandwich with ham and cheese and the Fancy Toast with smoked salmon, and both were delectable. We'd recommend stopping here, but be prepared to wait up to an hour to actually eat.

One of the better reviewed spots in the area, my mom and I came for breakfast on a Saturday morning around 10AM. The wait for food was already 45 minutes! We ordered in the front, and I asked for a cinnamon roll but apparently had to stand in another line for it. I'm glad we ordered from the front because the other line (that you need to be in if you want any drinks or pastries coffee) took a bit of time too, and by the time I got my cinnamon roll, the food we had initially ordered was almost ready. The cinnamon roll wasn't hot but it was soft, the cream cheese frosting was too much. My mom said the cinnamon taste wasn't very apparent which I agree, but the bread quality was good. I got a pastrami sandwich and my mom got the breakfast burrito. Both items came out to be bigger than we had thought. Bread for my sandwich was soft and really tasty, and there was a lot of pastrami (as there should be for a $15 sandwich). Very flavorful, meat could've been spread out inside the sandwich better (my last bites were only sauerkraut). Really enjoyed it. My mom's burrito was good too, we both liked that it was toasted so the outside was crunchy a bit, especially on the sides. Good amount of stuffing inside, and we had salsa and guacamole on the side (they ask you when you order whether you want it inside or on the side). Really flavorful potatoes and fluffy eggs. Lots of food. I wanted an acai bowl too but that would've really been too much food. Friendly staff too, the only downside is the wait time. Pricing is a bit high but for the quality and amount of food (and general expensiveness of Kauai), it's acceptable. [Edit] Went back the next day for an acai bowl, very fresh, high-quality ingredients - I can taste the freshness. Wonderful blueberries, strawberries, banana, had granola for a crunch, honey on top. Good acai as well. Didn't have to wait forever for the acai bowl (because it's not hot food I suppose!), came out within 10 minutes. As I said before, the quality of food here is very high, pricing is fair based on amount of food and quality.

On our first visit we were on the clock so we went with non-kitchen items. The assorted fruits with honey was wonderful. The scone was delish. The sticky bun with Mac nuts and the pain au chocolate were just alright. On a second visit we had time to chill so we had the ham and cheese croissant which was great. The brekkie sandwich was average. The cortados were fantastic. Friendly staff and lovely Hanalei backdrop. We love eating at the green bench and covered tables.
