Brug Bakery - Kahala

Came here randomly after taking Santa photos at the mall. Nice quiet ambiance and no crowd at all. To my surprise it was a great experience. Check em out!

I love fresh breads! I love that Brug Bakery is near my workplace. They make fresh pastries and breads daily. They are open everyday from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. I really wish they open an hour earlier ;) What makes this location perfect is that there's lots of parking and it's free. I got a few pastries today to share with my coworkers. I got the Hokkaido frank, Portuguese sausage breakfast sandwich, sweet potato pastry, pesto focaccia, pastrami focaccia, sausage roll, pastrami & cheese croissant, tuna panini and okinawan potato mochi. The prices are reasonable. The pastries look so pretty! And all pastries are yummmmm!!! The service from the staff was also a delight. She gave me a reusable bag for purchasing over $40. This is nice because I spent the same amount last time and I paid $0.15 for a paper bag. It's a nice cute little space they have but it doesn't feel small. It smells super nice inside too with freshly made breads and pastries! They also sell hot and cold drinks and jams and jellies. Thank you for reading my review. Have a great weekend!

LOVE Brug!Faves:* This location does thin sliced bread (whereas the Ala Moana only offers thick)* I've tried the golden, plain, and puffy top breads -- faves are the plain. Golden is good and costs a premium but tastes the same as plain to me? Puffy supposedly has no sugar.* The Hokkaido Haskap Berry Jam - Love that it is tangy. Could be a bit less sweet. Has chunks of fruit inside, and is liquidy (but not in bad way).Lows:* Cranberry cheese bread: Tasted very bitter one time, they did not offer to refund me or replace (nor did I ask).

This Japanese bakery from Hokkaido was only a 2 min drive from where I was staying and I definitely had to try it. We came around lunch time on a Sunday and tried the following:Pepperoni Foccacia - this tasted like a cold pizza, in a good way.Curry Pan - nice crisp on the outside, and nice bread texture with gooey curry inside. It was tasty with a variety of layers of taste/experience.Mentaiko (long baguette) - I was expecting more of a mentaiko flavor, the mentaiko was baked into the bread.Melonpan - this was good and what I expected from a melonpan. I don't know if it was the time of day we went, but all the pastries did not seem super fresh, as you would expect from a Japanese bakery. Despite it not being the freshest, the pastries were still tasty, but honestly I expected a little more. Oh we also ordered an iced americano and a cappuccino which hit the spot. Lastly, it's inside the McDonald's plaza, and there is outdoor seating only.

Unfortunate experience TWICE!! First experience arrive at BRUG 12:15pm ask salesperson anymore pizza? No just what's out....so I leave. Mind you I frequent this establishment. Second experience TODAY 1:42pm 1 pizza left!! Ask cashier if they'll be making more....No just what's out. I ask what time they close....SIX CLOCK!!! Needless to say I left expressing my thoughts on how that is bad business. FOUR hour till closing! Come on....GET TO WORK!!

This bakery is Amazing! So nice that every July 3rd, their Anniversary, they offer $2 pastries, with a limit of 12!! That's Fantastic and very Generous of them!!!The pastries are so soft, light and fresh! Such a huge variety and so much to choose from. I wished I took more pictures but was so busy standing in line with anticipation!The bakery is small but very bright and airy! As soon as you step in, they have plastic gloves for you to be safe! Take a tray, pastry sheet for your tray and a pair of tongs! Each item is already placed in a cellophane bag and will be sealed once you buy them! Everything looked delicious and I had to be selective cause I only could get 12, a perfect dozen! I chose a couple of hot dog nicely wrapped in a perfect roll; 2 nice size pizzas; a couple of chocolate iced donuts with sprinkles, a chocolate mochi donut; a vegetarian pizza with baby corn, zucchini, mushroom, red.pepper and mushroom; Portuguese sausage & egg.roll; raisin roll; cranberry muffin, cream cheese muffin!Tory, cashier, is very nice, friendly and quick! Shout out to Tory!

Went to the Anniversary 7/3/2023. We got there about 5 mins before opening and the line was already 20-30 people long. As you can see from the photo, they have a limit of 20 per person.But they are selling out of things quickly. You really have to get there early to get a good selection on the days where there are specials.Otherwise is pure luck as to whether or not they will have what you are looking for.

The staff always nice at Kāhala location!I love chocolate cream cheese bread! Everything fresh! And clean!

I love Brug Bakery. We have been a regular at the A La Moana BRUG, but this one always brings a lot of customers and so by the end of the day, there is not much selection left. However, the Kahala location is NOT inside the Kahala Mall (though it's in the same plaza), it is more convenient to get to and park at, and they have a good selection to choose from. I also love their drinks as well. Service has always been friendly and helpful.

Swung by here after an early am workout. Love the smell of fresh coffee brewing in the am! This store is smaller, but immaculately clean and with tons of treats to choose from. My family loves the sweet treats, I am more savory so typically get either plain or with hotdog. Whatever your preference, it will be fresh and delish from here. The staff is quick and friendly. When you walk in- grab a tray and use the tongs to select what you want. Pay in the front, then boom you're in fresh baked heaven. Parking can be a bit tricky in this smaller lot, so I typically find parking closer to kahala mall longs and walk over. My kids loved their teddy bear bread and my husband got a custard filled bread. Will def be back the next time I'm at kahala. It's nice to have an epic fresh treat.
