Fresh-Baked Favorites, Both Sweet and Savory
Pau Bakery is a small spot with a big lineup of baked goodness that locals and visitors both rave about. Their sourdough toast lineup includes options like classic avocado with tomato and basil, a breakfast toast with scrambled eggs and green onion, and the loaded smoked salmon toast with sliced avocado and a sunny-side up egg. If you want something more filling, check out their baked empanadas, available in beef, ham & cheese, vegan, spinach & cheese, and other rotating flavors. They’re golden, flaky, and just the right size for a satisfying snack or light lunch.
They also serve hearty sandwiches made with fresh ingredients, all paired with a side salad. The BLT is always a hit, and the pastrami sandwich with cheddar, honey mustard, and caramelized onions might just become your new favorite. Not into meat? Try the vegan sandwich with hummus, grilled zucchini, caramelized onions, bell pepper, and eggplant on focaccia.
Craving something sweet? You’re in the right place. Pau’s pastry case is packed with banana bread, cinnamon rolls, muffins, and pastries of the day. Their sweet croissants, stuffed with Nutella, pistachio cream, almond, or strawberry and pastry cream, are flaky, rich, and totally satisfying. And their mini cakes like berry cheesecake, tiramisu, and pavlova? They’re perfect proof that good things really do come in small packages.
They also offer sweet treats like alfajores, cream puffs, and lilikoi bars; perfect to take home or enjoy with a beach view. Each item is made fresh daily, and when they’re gone, they’re gone. So if you’re after something specific, it’s smart to arrive early and check the case before it sells out.

How it Started
Pau Bakery first opened its doors in early 2025, unveiling a beautifully renovated space that blends modern design with island charm. Founders Joana and Juan drew upon their Argentinian heritage and years of entrepreneurial experience to bring this vision to life. Inspired by treasured family recipes handed down from their mother, they infuse every pastry and loaf with warmth—melding the bold flavors of Argentina with the spirit of Aloha. At Pau Bakery, each bite is a celebration of tradition, community, and the simple joy of sharing good food.
Why Visit?
Whether you’re a long-time resident or a first-time visitor, Pau Bakery is a must-stop. You’ll be greeted by genuine smiles and the irresistible aroma of fresh-baked treats. Locals enjoy a special Kama‘āina discount, and out-of-town guests are welcomed like ohana. Best of all, every pastry and sourdough loaf is lovingly crafted by the mothers of our founders and staff—bringing generations of family tradition and authentic flavor to each bite.
