The Bread of Life

The Bread of Life is a bakery first but they make a good inexpensive smoothie. Good location. Difficult parking.

Bread of life is now home of Mikos Refreshments. Amazing drinks. Tastes great. Check out MIKO and his cool personality and amazing flavors. Stop by for a free sample.

Caught them at the Marriott Ko Olina and I regret not purchasing more malasadas and cinnamon rolls. They were awesome, and one week later, I’m still dreaming of their stuffed malasadas back home in the mainland. I’m going to be sure to seek them out in my next trip to Honolulu.
Get the taro, custard, chocolate, haupia, and coconut malasadas, then don’t tell your family you have them because you won’t want to share. Lol

Butter rolls that melt in your mouth! By far my favorite bakery! They are dirt cheap a BANG for your buck!

Another ringing endorsement for their cinnamon roll/​snails! Their food stand was at the St Clements Makiki Farmers Market on Thursdays. Got their apple-​flavored roll. You forget how soft and tasty fresh baked goods can be! Big size for a very reasonable price! It was about the size of a softball, and the cost was $ 3.50. My party of three picked at it for dessert, filled us up, and I still took half of it home! Definitely try some of their other roll flavors and desserts! Might have to visit the storefront in DT Honolulu one of these days as well! Must try! You will not regret it!

If you like doughy cinnamon rolls, you MUST try one of the ones from The Bread of Life. I went to their stand at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center and tried it for the first time a couple weeks ago and am seriously hooked.
The cinnamon rolls are HUGE, I had half and was full. The dough is made out of wheat but isn’t dry or taste «healthy» like some wheat products can sometimes be. The roll is filled with lots of cinnamon and if you choose, you can also get it with raisins, apples, or haupia.
They also sell filled malasadas with all types of filling at the market. I’m not a huge fan of filled malasadas so I prefer the cinnamon rolls but I always see people buying them.
Seriously though, try the cinnamon rolls you won’t be disaapointed. $ 3.50

Really small bakery on Bishop Street right next to the waterfalls by the bus stop. Anykine grinds, yum yum thai, and ninja sushi are its neighbors. I was first introduced to this place by my coworker who would stop by to get the bread pudding. The bread pudding is warm, sweet (but not too sweet) and has substantial weight to it.
The first few times I’ve gone they weren’t on Unilocal yet so I’m happy to see that I can write a review on them. When I went the owner was working and told me how they completely changed the look of the shop so it looks like a country bake shop. I love their random crafts around the store and they always have something fresh and new to sample or buy. Their muffins, cookies, bread pudding make me stop by and have a smell and look. Prices range from $ 2 – 5 so I usually buy something as a special treat or a present for a coworker.

I bought one of their banana white chocolate bread pudding at the farmers market. It was big slice for $ 4.25 so that wasnt bad at all. Some of their other delicious goodies, were various filled malasadas like with honey dew and i think taro. They also had other quick breads. The bread pudding was okay, a little dry and not as sweet as other bread puddings. I liked the bananas on the top as they were a little «roasted» and i think the only white chocolate was what was the little sauce on the top. It was good, not bad, but i’ve had better. I’d definitely like to give their filled malasadas a try though ;)

I havent tried a lot from here but the butter mochi is super addicting! You can taste the buttery soft mochi that has a hint of coconut but isnt too sweet. When I worked in downtown I bought one almost everyday and ate the whole thing before it ever made it home with me. The lady who owns the shop is very nice, always smiling and friendly. Since I was in there almost daily, she would give me small cookies, brownies and other goodies just as a bonus gift. For Japanese boys day she even gave me another mochi and told me to enjoy. Im not one to fish for handouts but her generosity towards repeat customers is very refreshing. Its one of those places where you actually want to tip well which I did. Great small business, I wish them much success!

Broke da mout’! I just tasted some of Bread of Life’s scrumptiousness for the first time in the form of a liliko’i roll this evening thanks to their participation in the Windward Mall Farmer’s Market. (Yep, it’s a big as it looks in my photo, and I ate the whole thing!!)
Their booth at the market was stocked with assorted breads and pastries. I asked for a recommendation for what to try, and they converted me to a fan with their fresh, delicious liliko’i roll. At $ 5 for two large, ‘onolicious pastries, this is one sinful treat that’s too good pass up (and share).
Next time you’re at Windward Mall on a Wednesday between 3:00 — 8:00pm, do yourself a favor and visit Bread of Life. As for me, I might have to try their sweet bread next… and hit the gym after!

This mini bakery is located right along Bishop Street. It’s right next to the row of lunchtime restaurants and such. A co-​worker goes here all the time, so I followed her in.
I purchased their cinnamon raisin bread. At $ 5 a pop, it’s definitely on the super steep side of the carb spectrum. What you will immediately notice is the amount of sugar that is drizzled onto the top of the bread like a cinnamon bun. Additionally, it comes off as a little smaller than your average loaf of bread. As for the taste, it’s definitely on the sweeter side, but not as sweet as it looks. I think it’s because most of the sweet part comes from the sugar on top and the cinnamon is too light for me. I’m not sure that I’d go back to buy more at $ 5 a loaf though. To me it’s more of a $ 2 a loaf bread.
Although, they do have a sale section that sells the same bread for $ 2 a loaf. I would definitely make sure to check what you’re buying because more than several of the clearance ones I looked at had mold growing on them.
The people working there have this «eh whatevahs» personality about them also. So, not too friendly.
I just have to give this an «A-​OK» rating. The bread was alright, but the price really is too steep to justify me going back. I would say that you could get better value at one of the other big box warehouse stores in the area.
