Big or small bakeries in Hawaii are closing. That's sad.

Love's Bakery hot dog buns were good for potluck picnics for outdoor cooked hot dogs. Their old fashioned donuts were good with coffee.

All that lard, sugar, salt, etc. is sure yummy. But being overweight will kill you.
SAM'S CLUB started with their "loss-leader" 42 oz. apple pies @$2.97 which tasted great. The price has now elevated to $5.29, still larger and priced below retail bakeries. SAM'S and COSTCO have the jumbo-sized 80 oz. (that's FIVE lbs.) apple pies also available.

I also remember Rail Road Inn!
Wuz across the Iwilei Rail Road Station. Now get the new condominium.
It wasn't a Bakery but they did make da best Corn Bread and Biscuits to eat with their famous Short-ribs Beef Stew!
Sorry for the derailing...brings back so much memories.

I remember the Alexander Young Bakery when it re-located to Keeaumoku St. after the Alexander Young Hotel was razed. You're ABSOLUTELY right about that Lemon Krunch cake ......... SUPERB!

Did you buy it when Norman owned it? He was the Head Baker for the Alexander Young Bakery and the one who invented the famous Lemon Krunch Cake. It was sold at LeBon Bake Shop which was owned by Herbert Hayashi (Pagoda and Pacific Beach Hotels) where he was the Manager and Head Baker. His son took over while he went back to Swan.
Nobody can make Lemon Krunch Cake like Norman!
