The food was delicious and we had a lovely picnic on Coconut Island. The outdoor dining area was clean and available, but next to the parking lot.

It's one of our favorite places to eat on the weekends. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the food is delicious. Even though they offer coffee, baked goods, pizza, and more, make sure to try their popover before it's gone - you won't want to miss out!

Their donuts have a texture more like bread or a bagel than either a good cake donut, and are nowhere near light and airy enough to be a good yeast donut. It was…well, not good.And have you ever had a bear claw with raisins in it? Me neither. That was an unpleasant surprise- I love almond filling, which this bear claw was short on, and hate raisins in baked goods, which it was loaded with. Ugh. Worse bear claw ever.I’ve had a “chunky chip” cookie from them, too. The absence of the word “chocolate “ in the name should have told me something; it was brown and a little chocolatey, but with a texture that was kind of dry, grainy and cake-like. It wasn’t horrible but I wouldn’t get one again.There’s not many wonderful choices for fresh baked goods in East Hawaii, and those there are, are pretty expensive. Next time I get a craving though for something fresh from a bakery, I’ll go somewhere else and save myself the calories for something more worthwhile.

We ate the popover by itself. It was delicious by itself, but we noticed other diners eating the popover sandwich which is filled with a variety of items. Looked very appetizing. The pastries were also delicious. I ate the chocolate puff and tasted the Ube glazed donut. Perfect to start the day.

We’re already planning on coming back in our time on the island.
