Baker's Heart is a subsidiary of Touch A Heart Catering which is a non-profit organization. I love to support local and especially it's for a good cause. You can order the Baker's Heart cookies and desserts through the Touch A Heart website and can even order their Kapuna & Family Meal Program. Their weekly three meals pack for $25.50-$30.00 provides you meals especially during this COVID19 Pandemic. Every week there's new menu and it can be picked up on Wednesday between 11am -1pm at Kalihi Union Church. Sometimes they offer the meals and bake goods on a Saturday too. I've ordered once for my parents and I but a lot of my church friends who are Kapunas, have been buying every week and been enjoying the separately packed meals and one large salad for three meals. For the present time the pick up is at Kalihi Union Church on N King St near King/Umi Street since they use the Church's commercial kitchen. You can pay by Pay pal on line or by cash at the time of pick up. Pick up location is at the Kalihi Union Church Gym area in the back. No need to get off your car. Enter from the entrance near the First Hawaiian bank side and drive all the way in the back and as you turn right along the building is where the pick up spot. You can exit by the other entrance/exit by the traffic light near Jack in the box.You can read more about the organization through their article featured on Hawaii Business.Baker's Heart which I mainly doing the review for is only $5 for the cookie pack or 2-pack scones, loaf or individual dessert! The cookies especially is unique and not sold in stores so it makes people happy to receive them as gifts. I haven't tried them all but Baker's Heart have many variety of cookies made of quinoa and flax seeds and they even have a pack of individual desserts such as brownies, lemon bars, scones, Okinawan sweet potato, haupia, tiramisu and more. They make perfect gifts, omiyage, favors, office gifts and for events. It's only $5! Right now the hotels are closed and they are usually do business with them!You won't be disappointed with their bake goods! You will feel great supporting them knowing you are helping a good cause. Their mission is "to transform the lives of those who is facing barriers to employment by providing vocational training in a healing and nurturing environment creating pathways to job placements. " Proceeds will help expand their culinary training & apprenticeship program. I just love the espresso with white chocolate chips. The cookies are uniform in size and is pretty crispy since they are on the thinner side but the quinoa and flax seeds makes it so different and crunchy. The cranberry one is good and one with the ulu flour is great since it's gluten free. The peanut butter one was okay in my opinion. Scones was good and comes in a pair in a nice container. One day I need to try the individual desserts like tiramisu and brownies! Cookies make great gifts because of the shelf life. Cookies taste yummy cold when I keep them in the refrigerator :) They are still working out the catering side Touch A Heart but wanted to share mainly on the Baker's Heart side. See their website Or can email with questions to [email protected] for reading my review ! :)

My wife and I bought their three meal pack ( about 25 dollars). Today we pick Mabo Tofu, Meatloaf and Chicken Piccata Didn't get to try the meatloaf yet.Both the Chicken Piccata and the Mabo tofu were tasteful but the sauces were on the watery side. The Chicken Piccata came with Noodles, the Meatloaf and MaboTofu came with rice. A green salad was also provided. The meals are frozen. Individual pack in foam containers. Great for senior citizens. Support Local

Shout out to yelper Donna O. Saw her post on Yelp so I decided to try this place being it's a Wednesday. Every Wednesday so far I guess this non profit organization have provided meals for kupunas as well as for us who are not kupunas yet. ( HAHA).Their meals this Wednesday consists of chicken picatta, mabo tofu meatloaf with gravy. Comes with rice for the mabo tofu and meatloaf. Linguine noodles for the picatta and a green salad Gave them 4 stars because the food was frozen and if it was hot and ready to eat I would have giving them 5 stars. I know on their website said its frozen. But again I wish it was hot and ready to eat This is a non profit organization that's why I would try to support the local economy since they're hurting right now due to this covid 19 pandemic. The food was okay my picatta was a little soupy in their sauce where I used to eating it not that soupy. The mabo tofu had a good taste but my husband said it was kind of watery. Will eat the meatloaf tonite. The desserts looked good too. Brought the lemon bars and the oatmeal chocolate chips cranberry cookies. All in all the food is good and will see next Wednesday what will be on their menu again.
