Kanemitsu's Bakery & Restaurant

You came to Hawaii for the sun-drenched beaches and brilliant blue waters, so it is not without some puzzled hesitation that you step into the dark alley on a deserted side street. It’s long after sunset. Less that two hours from midnight. A local man clutching a small paper bag passes by, nodding hello, but exchanging no words. Nothing need be said, really. You’re here for the same thing… to fulfill a craving. Because once you’ve had it, you will be back.

Tip:
Try Molokai hot bread without toppings at first. Savor the unique flavor and texture. If you want to step it up, you can order any one topping – or get “the works,” with a little bit of everything. Kanemitsu's Bakery & Restaurant

Sweet Bread

seperator

The “it” is Molokai hot bread.  And the place to get it is Kanemitsu’s Bakery. Situated well off-the-beaten path, this tiny family-run business has developed a loyal following that keeps the faithful coming back at all hours of the day and especially at night, for the near-legendary ten o’clock bread run. 
 
So what’s all the fuss about a loaf of bread? Once you’ve had the sweet bread here, hot and fresh out of oven, you’ll understand.  The sizable loaves are served plain, with butter or cream cheese, or with a topping of cinnamon, blueberry, or strawberry. The bread is lightly but mouth-wateringly sweet, fluffy, and somewhat chewy. In a word, it is simply delicious.
 

In the day, when the front of the restaurant is open, you’ll also find an incredible taro lavosh as well as other locally-inspired bread flavors including apricot-pineapple and coconut. And for a delicious and simple lunch, the hamburgers and egg-salad sandwiches are popular and inexpensive.
