Paalaa Kai Bakery

It's the home of the famous snow puffies. Pro-tip: take off the top layer of the snow puffy, and eat it separately from the bottom layer. That way, you don't get delicious vanilla custard all over your shirt. You will get scrumptious powdered sugar all over your face, though Don't attempt to eat these snow puffies in your car. Enjoy them outside, especially if you have kids with you. Its literally a 3-5 min drive from Haleiewa. You are missing out, if you don't stop by. If the time on your receipt, matches up to your birthday, you win free pastries. They are open daily. There are very nice, older ladies working behind the counters. Everything is fresh and delicious. I am not sure if they still do this, but I believe after 5:00 p.m., everything is half off.

If you’re stunned by Leonard donut, you should definitely try this place. Let’s see which one you would pick as #1 in HI. I’m still debating to be honest. Try everything here, as it’s hard to recommend one or two. I personally like snow powder ones! Absolutely tasty!!! Terrific job to the baker of this place!!!

On our way to Alii Beach Park, we went here on 1/17/22 @ 10 am to buy pastries: Snow Puffies, Sadas Malasadas, Chocolate croissants and Pineapple Turnovers. There was a line of about 3 people waiting for their number to be called. The workers at the counter were very efficient in getting and packing our order. The portions were huge and everything was yummy. We were out within about 5 minutes. Highly recommend this place.

Definitely earns its spot at the top of the list for bakeries in the area! This little spot is almost hidden next to a gas station but has some of the best sweet treats that I have had in a long time. Their signature pastries are amazing as well as their classic options like donut holes and chocolate covered donuts.
