Papa'a Palaoa Bakery - Hilo

The best bread in Hilo by far. Sourdough breads on Thursdays.

The sourdough poi bread was great. Fresh, soft, and perfect with some passion fruit jam. Super nice people and an awesome little bakery!

Stopped in and was greeted by Rebecca, she was hilarious and fantastic! She gave us the run down of what was baked on certain days and made some recommendations, and pulled no punches in taking some jabs at us tourists. Came back the next day after that great encounter and enjoyed more cinnamon buns and muffins.

They have other pastries and breads but they do not make Malsadas as google says :

This is a great place to go if you want fresh baked bread. They have a range of varieties from baguettes, to rustic loaves/peasant breads, to whole grain and whole wheat breads and specialty loaves like olive.They make cinnamon rolls and sell them with frosting, you can get savory scones, and they also typically have packs of rolls. They encourage pre-orders but you can certainly walk in and grab something to go.If you know you're going to eat all your bread in one day, they do have day old breads available as well at a slight discount, which can be worth picking up as well. If you're just looking for a little bit of bread, they make mini loaves of some of their larger versions that are also delicious!You can't go wrong here, check it out!
