Deluxe Pastry Shop

Their butter rolls are so awesome. As luck would have it, I usually arrive just in time for their new batches, so I get them hot and buttery to go. Comparable to Liliha Bakery’s butter rolls. I’ve also had their chocolate cake (soft and spongey, Asian style), and custard pie. Delicious.

Just look for the Kaneohe Bakery sign and turn in. Deluxe Pastry Shop is to the right of the Laundromat. Helpful and courteous staff. Cash only.
I ordered the mini cream filled pastries. One of them didn’t look like Chantilly but the girl there said it was. I got a bunch of the Chantilly and chocolate ones as well as some apple and azuki bean An Pan. I had the apple an pan and it was good.
I am used to the thicker and grainy chantilly of Zippy’s and Liliha bakery. The Chantilly on their eclairs were more creamy. It was good and complemented the cream filling instead of overpowering it like a Liliha Bakery Coco Puff would. The Liliha Bakery Coco Puffs have a heavy Chantilly top which is the primary flavor and the cream is the complementary and creamy flavor. The Deluxe Pastry Shop eclairs have the creamy filling as the primary flavor and the lighter Chantilly as the complementary flavor. The Coco Puff is «top heavy» and the eclairs are well balanced. I’m speaking more of the mini ones but I assume the normal sized ones are just the same.
Better than Liliha Bakery’s Coco Puffs? Well they are bigger, have more filling/​cream, and taste just as good. Just not as rich and thick. I’m kind of over the Coco Puffs so this is a very worthy alternative, if you live in Kaneohe.
I was going to try their manju but they looked pretty small. They looked very flaky (buttery) so I may try it later but I’m used to the ones from Maui and Hilo which aren’t as flaky.
Judging by their eclairs and an pan I’m sure the other items are just as good and it’s not just the lack of options in Kaneohe that has people coming to this hole in the wall place for a taste of deluxe pastries.

Don’t let the outside fool you — this place has awesome baked goods! We had the long johns, raisin snails and butterhorn… all were delicious, especially the long johns! Will go back and try the eclairs.

I, like other Unilocalers drove past Deluxe Pastry Shop, but found parking in front, so that was a bonus. The aroma hits you as you walk-​in and your eyes immediately get bigger than your stomach. I had to fight the urge to order a lot, since it all looked really onolicious.
After scanning the pastries, I knew I had to try the Long John. Also ordered the Puff Pastry, Apple Manju, an Apple Crumb pie and an Apple Custard pie for a pot luck later that day. The Long John was as good as advertised. They don’t skimp on the filling and the dough is super light. The Apple Manju were nice and flaky and had a good amount of filling. I liked the puff pastry, but prefer the Snow Puffy from PLK Bakery.
We enjoyed the pies later at the pot luck. Both were very tasty and light. I’m so glad I finally made it here.

I missed the location and I know kaneohe. My boss actually bought us the raisin snails at work, these were very good! I got the family hooked on them now and looks like everything else they have is tasty. I saw they do a Chantilly éclair but haven’t tasted that yet. Will review tomorrow after we pick up!

Good as it looks ! Goes great with ice cold milk, a chocolate shake, or any ice cold beverage you like. Hurry down before they’re all sold out !

Love the lemon chiffon pie with the crumble on top. If you like Diamondhead bakery or the alley lemon crunch you will like this pie! Its like half lemon crunch, and half chiffon. sold here on fridays. It’s like a slice of heaven. We make the trek from town to kaneohe just to buy this pie (only on friday). The chocolate long Johns are so good. I love that chocolate frosting on top.

Their long johns are the best I’ve had. It’s so soft and the pastry cream is so good plus they aren’t stingy with the filling. The mini eclairs are dangerously scrumptious. If i had no self control I probably scarf down a dozen in 10 minutes. They also have lemon chiffon pie which is my grandpa’s favorite.
I take my boys every Sunday to visit my grandparents in Kaneohe so they always ask to make a stop at Deluxe. On one occasion we bought a dozen doughnut holes for our drive home. The nice old lady helping us added the last few at no cost. Another time my 4 year old wanted a cupcake with a decorative plastic fish on it. The same lovely old lady was helping us again and said «Those cupcakes cost more. I’ll charge you for a regular cupcake» and gave my boy a sweet wink.

The Long Johns are the best! Hands down!
I’ve had Kaneohe’s Bakery (we like their custard pies) Long johns, but deluxe must put crack inside, because when I leave Hawaii I dream about them.

I was recommended this place by my brother and finally tried it! Its so good and the pastry tasted so fresh. It wasnt too sweet but it was just right. They didnt have the prices listed so I dont exactly know how much everything I bought actually cost butit was totally worth the money I paid for!

Old fashion. Unassuming. You could easily miss Deluxe Pastry Shop if you drove too fast along Kam Highway, and then you would miss out on their combo flavored pies. Custard with lemon, apple, pumpkin, or haupia. Haupia with chocolate or pumpkin. They also make single flavor apple, chiffon, and apricot. The simple crusts have a nice crisp texture and they are not too sweet. The pies grandma would have made if she was a mad scientist mixing flavors, my favorite is the custard apple.
If you like lemon crunch cake they make a nice version. Also get anything with chantilly, their long johns, and manju.
I make a point of stopping by Deluxe every time I’m in Kaneohe to take treats home. Go early, they sell out of items by the afternoon.

So I had a destination wedding and was on a budget and was not about to spend $ 300 on a wedding cake. So after Unilocaling some bakeries out near my wedding venue of Haiku Gardens, I found Deluxe pastry shop. I ordered the lemon crunch haupia cake without even trying it. Well, nobody was disappointed because it was absolutely AMAZING! Delicious and perfect! Highly recommend you try it and think about ditching those disgusting fondant cakes for your wedding and getting this one!

Cute bakery — CASH only — on Kamehameha Hwy. in the heart of Kaneohe Town, driving towards Honda Windward.
Tried the mini chocolate eclairs and they are ono, creamy, with chocolate topping, filled with custard not whipped cream. Also tried the lemon bars-​OK. Would have preferred them more tart than sweet. And I love bear claws, so had to try one of those and it was ono and moist, not dry and stiff! Nice stop in Kaneohe Town!
Friendly counter waithelp that thank you for stopping by!

Yummy blueberry scones! Put some lilikoi butter on top. Scones taste ono on it’s own. A lot of flavor!

I grew up on the Liliha bakery side of the street.
What does that mean? It means I thought ALL eclairs were filled with custard, ALL cream puffs were filled with custard, and ALL long johns were, you guessed it, filled with custard. I love custard. Not super creamy, dairy rich, liquidy custard the color of a jaundiced albino but the eggy, yellowy sort of custard that can hold it’s shape. Some may consider that cheap. If so, I consider YOU cheap. So there.
My husband, on the other hand, thinks Liliha’s custard filled creations are disgusting. He finds it infuriating that I always expect pastries to be filled with yellow custard and continues to lecture me about how all the rest of the bakeries everywhere in existence DON’T fill their things with custard, blah blah blah.
Lies.
At a craft fair one year, an extremely pregnant woman insisted that Deluxe bakery made the most delicious, scrumptious, mouth-​watering eclairs in all the land. Which I took to mean they had the most awesomestiest, custardy-​est eclairs ever.
Nope.
They were good. I didn’t love the chocolate topping as it wasn’t quite chocolate-​y enough and was somewhat disappointed with the filling as it was nothing like the custard of my dreams (that sounds dirty, doesn’t it? Don’t think about it. And if it didn’t sound dirty ignore this whole parenthetical insert). Just cream. My husband, on the other hand, claimed it was ten billion times better (That just seems like an outright exaggeration) than Liliha and loved it. He also loved their chantilly and, of course, declared that it was a thousand gajillion times better (An absolute exaggeration if ever I saw one) than Liliha and so on. «See?» he said, «This is what pastries should taste like.»
I will begrudgingly admit the chantilly topping and raisin snail thingy were rather tasty. And if I were in the presence of some Deluxe Bakery eclairs, I would probably eat one. Or three. What of it.
The moral of the story is, if you are a die hard fan of Liliha’s custard filling, you are going to find Deluxe bakery to be good but not the most incredible thing you’ve ever had. However, if you don’t really like Liliha’s custard filling, then you might find Deluxe bakery to be a veritable explosion of yum yum goodness all over your mouth.
And if you don’t eat things with either custard nor cream filling then, well, I cry for you and your pitiful lot in life.

I don’t get out to Kaneohe much, but when I do I will make sure to make this little bakery is a part of my route. On my first visit, I got a couple of the mini eclairs and took home a pumpkin custard pie. You can even opt to have them add haupia to any of the pies.
My family of 4 literally consumed the entire pie within 6 hours. I had one slice… and a half. My husband didn’t think the crust was exceptional, but liked it because it wasn’t too sweet. Custard and pumpkin are my faves and they were so delicious together. The eclairs were excellent too!
I definitely want to return to try their manju, which Nat N. raves about, but it’s only available certain days. The lemon custard pie also sounds delicious. I have lots of reasons to return!
Cash only!

I never paid much attention when driving in this area and never knew this little Bakery was here all along making onolicious goodies. So when I decided to check them out… I blinked and passed it! Dag Nab It!
Deluxe Pastry is a small bakery that is tucked away from the main road with a limited amount of parking stalls in front. It’s one of those Bakeries that looks like it has been around forever patiently waiting for people like me to finally enjoy some of their sweet treats.
I was excited to pick up some goodies to take home and share, I spied some delicious looking pastries calling my name. I picked up a Bear claw, Raisin Roll, Apple Turnover, Doughnut Twist, Manju and a Long John, it’s so easy to go out of control here. I’m really surprised about them being opened on a Sunday and having quite a bit of choices, it might be that we came early in the morning.
I know that I will be back to pick up some of their pies that I have been hearing about, Yes I’m talking about you Nat N.!!, can’t wait to taste them!

Grew up in Kaneohe, had a friend that worked here during high school, and only discovered the magically delicious eclairs just a few years ago… I’ve been missing out!
The chantilly éclair is topped with their heavenly chantilly and filled with scrumptious custard. The chocolate éclair is topped with a thick layer of chocolatey goodness with the same custard filling also. Both types come in regular size and a mini (guilt-​free!) size… betcha cant just stop at one mini though!
Next time I come, I’ll try their famous lemon crunch!

Having purchased many, many items from this bakery, I can safely say that this is the BEST bakery in Kaneohe!
For Thanksgiving, my family only wanted their butter rolls. When I bring the mini chantilly and chocolate eclairs to potlucks, the crowd goes wild! I bought a coconut manju for my mom and she ate it right away — no hesitation. My brother-​in-​law knows that they are known for their Long Johns — that’s what I got for myself — there’s more filling than anything! I also enjoy the apple manju — flakey crust and sweetly tart on the inside!
Situated next to a local bar and a laundromat, this pastry shop is two doors down from Kaneohe Bakery. The interior is a small, plain, «antique», cozy space where customers are separated from the friendly cashiers by the glass case of various types of baked goods. Straight ahead are the shelves of pies — custard, custard apple, apricot, etc. So many choices!
I like the traditional. lucky maneki neko (beckoning cat) and the sentimental photo of the former owner on the top shelf above the pies. (His daughter now runs the shop.) His wife still makes the delicious manju: red dotted for the azuki bean filling; plain ones are coconuit; and the green dots signify the apple flavor.
It’s a cash only operation that is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Enjoy!

Most people I know have never heard of this bakery. They don’t advertise, and it’s rarely ever mentioned in magazine articles, blogs, etc. Yet they make some of the most delicious pastries and pies on the island.
My favorite things to get here are: glazed donut, raisin snail, apple manju, custard/​haupia pie and pumpkin/​custard/​haupia pie.
They make a lemon crunch cake that looks really similar to The Alley’s lemon crunch cake, and I hope to try it soon, because it’s much cheaper than The Alley’s.
It’s definitely my go-​to bakery when I’m in kaneohe.
Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
