Introcuced to Hawai’i by Portuguese sugar workers during the 19th century, sweet bread has become a time-honored favorite among residents and visitors alike. Their delicately sweet and moist Hawaiian sweet bread at Punalu’u Bake Shop originated from a traditional family recipe. When the recipe was adapted and prepared at a resort restaurant in Punalu’u (Ka’u District on the Big Island of Hawai'i) in the 1970’s, the sweet bread was an instant hit. To keep visitors and kama’aina supplied with this popular favorite, the Punalu’u Bake Shop was opened in 1991.
They offer their famous traditional sweet bread, as well as macadamia nut shortbread cookies, and much more. All are made without preservatives and baked fresh in the Bake Shop in Naalehu on the Big Island.
