One Love Bakery & Cafe

A little over a month ago I saw the bakery sign as I drove pass, so one day I checked out the bakery hours and days of business even though they were closed. I noticed the bakery's limited hours and business days for the retail bakery shop. They are currently open from Wednesday through Friday from 10am -6pm in hope to open more days in the future. I drove there last week to find they were not opened for business for retail but may be in for the private catering business and participate in a healthy school lunch program for a near by chartered Elementary school. It's a small family run business.The store front is called One Love Bakery & Cafe selling their desserts and the Private Catering business is called One Love Cafe. The outside sign may just say One Love Bakery since they are selling their bake goods and not food items. They provide & participate in Federal healthy lunch program for a near by Chartered school. Their motto /belief is Fresh, Local & Organic!Finally today Shannon, bakery/owner just turned on the lights of the open sign just before I got there before 5pm. I was so happy to see the open sign on! Her son and daughter was helping her today. I couldn't resist buying just about everything except the banana poi loaf (I got the slice) and the whole mint chocolate cheesecake! I may have to come back for the cheesecake since I do love cheesecake.She was so so nice and friendly and let me sample some of her bake goods. It was so rich and amazing from anything I've tried before.The chocolate PB bar was so yummy especially if you're a peanut butter fan and the Lilikoi brownie and chocolate Lilikoi tartlet were similar in taste but was truly out of this world. Soooo good! Banana Poi bread slice - moist and delicious!Chocolate Mac nut cookies in a bag- Many mini size cookies in a bag. Cookies was a little crispy yet chewy w/ lots of Mac nuts. I'm a fan of crispy and crunchy cookies but these were good enough and there are a lot macadamia nuts! Scones were soft and moist and not dry. The glaze adds a nice touch since the Lilikoi glazed was delicious on the Lilikoi scone. Blueberry one was good but I love the pineapple coconut scone was heavenly and super moist! I liked that scone the best! The pineapple pieces made it moist and flavorful! I think the sugar glazed has something mixed inside.Everything was so delicious and reasonable priced. Please check them out & follow them on Instagram which she updates her information regularly and post photos of her desserts. Right now she is not ready to post a phone number but can contact her through email (from Facebook) or Instagram. Hopefully you will be lucky like me to catch them when they are opened! They are located in the same lot as Pizza Hut near The Shack and across from Enchanted Lakes McDonalds and Ben Franklin.Thanks for reading!

My wife read the yelp review for this bake shop. Coincidently the review was made by Donna O one of my friends on Yelp. We tried two flavors of their scones. Let me say my wife is the scone aficionado I usually pass on scones. We had the blueberry orange and the cocnut pineapple scones. Both deserve a thumbs up. Next we tried the almond short bread cookie. It looked like a regular short bread cookie but the almond flavor stood out like a good Chinese almond cookie.Lastly we tried the peanut butter chocolate square not sure what they called it. This is definitely a winner. The baker/owner ShannonSsid this was her moms recipe. Today is a day they are normally closed but being the holidays they were open.

Okay, if you have not tried this little bakery- you really must! I don't eat out much but I have been trying to support our small local businesses during this time. One Love bakery is next to the shack on Keolu drive. I bought the chocolate lilikoi tarts and macadamia nut tarts. Both were delicious with the perfect amount of sweetness. You have to order online and then pick up during the COVID shut down. You could also probably call in an order. Be patient if the website is confusing- it was for me but persist because you won't be disappointed!

I had the Lilikoi Tarts for Mother's Day. What a treat! First of all, as I brought it to my mouth I could already smell the tantalizing tang of the tart. Then I bit into it, and the lilikoi flavor burst onto my tongue. The chocolate tempers the tartness of the lilikoi and the combination results in delicious-ness.

Pecan tart was soooo good! The owner was very nice too! I ordered online, and pick up at the shop. I'll definitely come back again soon:)
