We’re so excited to officially welcome you to our brand new Bakery on King! Nestled in the heart of Mō‘ili‘ili at 2643 South King Street and near the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, our newest location opened its doors on July 21st, and we’ve been brewing (and baking!) up something special ever since.
This new location offers outdoor seating, ample on-site parking (FREE for the first hour with our QR code!), and street parking. We’re open daily from 6am to 4pm, so it's perfect for early risers and midday snackers alike. As you approach, keep an eye out for our vibrant, eye-catching mural created by local artist Boz Schurr—it marks the spot! Once you see it, turn onto Kahuna Ln., and you’ll find the entrance to our parking lot right there.
New Chef, New Exclusive Menu
Spearheading this next chapter is Brian Sung, a classically trained pastry chef and hospitality leader who now serves as our Director of Culinary Operations. A graduate of Le Cordon Bleu, Brian brings a wealth of experience from world-renowned kitchens and luxury hospitality groups.

What makes this spot extra unique? This flagship location serves up as our main bakery and kitchen facility to support our 12 cafes statewide—we're serving up an exclusive menu you won’t find at any of our other locations. That means handcrafted croissants and kitchen creations made fresh every day — just for Bakery on King!
On the croissant menu, we’re bringing bold local flavors and playful twists:
- Kimchi Spam Croissant
- Redondo Hot Dog Croissant
- Milk Cereal Croissant
- Chocolate Brownie Croissant
- Ube Chantilly Croissant
-
Lilikoi Croissant
We’re also firing up the kitchen each morning with our twist on some brunch classics:
- Avocado Toast: Seasoned avocado on our housemade sourdough bread, topped with pickled onions, cucumbers, and arugula with a lilikoi vinaigrette
- Loco Moco: Our spin on the classic local favorite! Seasoned beef patty, a sunny side up egg, and our signature coffee demiglace on top of white rice
- Omurice: Fried rice and savory kalua pork wrapped in an egg omelette, and topped with our signature coffee demiglace
- Three Cheese Grilled Cheese: Cheddar, gruyere, and provolone cheese in between our housemade sourdough bread, pan-seared with cotija cheese, and served with kettle chips
- Pancake Stack: Fluffly, buttery pancakes served with a whipped coconut cream and a coffee-infused maple syrup
(Just a heads up — our kitchen’s last call is at 2:00pm daily, so be sure to swing by early to get your favorites hot and fresh!)

Pre- and Grand Opening Events
Like many big projects, there were delays and challenges along the way, but your patience and support meant everything to us. We truly couldn’t have brought the Bakery on King to life without the encouragement of our community, dedicated team members, and incredible business partners who stood by us every step of the way. We hosted a special media preview the week before opening to share a first look at what we’ve been working on, followed by an intimate Mahalo event for those who have supported this journey from day one.
Our team has poured a lot of love into this new space, and it’s been incredible to see the community show up in such a big way. Tiare Moses, our Bakery on King General Manager, said it best:
“We’re beyond grateful to be here and can already feel the energy of this neighborhood. Big mahalo to everyone who’s welcomed us with open arms — we can’t wait to continue baking and brewing for all of you!”
And wow — what an opening week! We started the morning with a traditional Hawaiian blessing and grand opening ceremony with Kahu Kordell. We also met some of the most loyal customers who lined up at 5am and then witnessed a line that extended a couple blocks! Seeing so many of you turn out for our very first day filled us with so much aloha. We were overwhelmed with the support (in the best way!) and we're excited to become a part of daily life here in Mō‘ili‘ili.Bakery on King Blend
To make our grand opening even more special, we’re proud to introduce a limited-time coffee blend created just for this occasion: “Bakery on King.” Crafted to honor not only our newest location but also farm to cup coffee — this seasonal blend celebrates the artistry that goes into every pastry and pour.
With tasting notes of Poha Berry, Black Tea, and Honey, this cup offers a vibrant yet balanced profile that pairs beautifully with our handcrafted croissants and kitchen menu items. It’s a blend designed to reflect the creativity and care our bakers have brought to Honolulu Coffee for years — quietly working behind the scenes, delivering fresh, in-house creations to our cafés every day. Now, with the opening of Bakery on King, we’re finally able to shine a spotlight on that craft and share it more directly with you.
The blend itself is a thoughtful composition of:
- 50% Colombia (Anaerobic Natural)
- 20% Brazil (Washed)
- 20% Colombia (Washed)
- 10% HCC Farms Kona (Washed)
Available for a limited time only, “Bakery on King” is more than just a coffee — it’s a celebration of the bakers, farmers, and team members who make everything we do possible. Be sure to grab a bag or try it in-store while it lasts!
