The old neighborhood bake shops are a disappearing breed, replaced by those in supermarkets (Safeway, Foodland, Star, Times), big box retailers (Costco, Sam's Club), and NAPOLEON'S in Zippy's. ABC Bakery used to be in Holiday Mart/Daiei, but has been supplanted.
The ones I patronized in the past were:
KING'S - liked their coconut creme pie; packed up and went to Torrance, CA to produce King's Hawaiian Sweet Bread;
9th AVENUE - in Kaimuki, near 9th Ave. on Waialae Ave.;
DEE-LITE - back to the original outlet in Kalihi (Dillingham Blvd.) after leaving Pearlridge; delightful Dee-Lite cakes, especially haupia, coconut, and guava;
BILL'S BAKERY - Kapahulu Ave.; now the Running Room (running shoes);
BUCK'S BAKERY - South King St. near the old Honolulu Stadium;
BAKERY KAPIOLANI - only one left is in the Aiea Shopping Center; their King St. site is now the Golden Duck Chinese restaurant; the Kapiolani Blvd. site has made way for the Ala Moana Center expansion;
HADLEY'S - South Beretania St. in Moiliili/McCully;
Y-Y's - University Ave. where Puck's Alley is located; moved to Manoa Shopping Center;
MILILANI - disappeared decades ago from the Mililani Shopping Center (near Foodland);
LARRY'S - Kam Highway, Waimalu Shopping Center (Aiea);
DUTCH GIRL - Liliha St.
Also gone are SHAN'S (Wahiawa) and SWAN (School St. in Kalihi near KPT). My wedding cake was crafted by SWAN.
