Liliha Bakery, the decades-old Honolulu institution known for Coco Puffs and butter rolls, has opened its sixth Oʻahu location on the second floor of Waikīkī Beach Walk after a Friday debut that drew early lines for pastries and breakfast plates. The new spot drops the bakery’s full diner menu, from loco moco and fried chicken to carved prime rib, right into the middle of Waikīkī’s busy visitor corridor.
As detailed by Outrigger Hospitality Group, the Beach Walk opening is the brand’s sixth island location and is framed as a way to bring its scratch-made pastries and diner classics into a high-traffic tourist zone. The company quoted its marketing director saying, “We look forward to opening our second Waikīkī location at Waikīkī Beach Walk.” Coverage by the Honolulu Star-Advertiser also highlighted the restaurant’s open-air dining setup.
The Waikīkī Beach Walk restaurant occupies about 6,000 square feet and offers both indoor and outdoor seating, according to Aloha State Daily. That outlet reports that the menu largely mirrors Liliha’s other locations while adding a bar program, and that many main plates are initially priced in the low to mid 20 dollar range. The Beach Walk address gives Liliha a bigger foothold in Waikīkī alongside its existing International Market Place location.
Menu highlights
Liliha’s signature bakery case, stocked with Coco Puffs, poi mochi doughnuts and butter rolls, anchors the Beach Walk counter, while the kitchen turns out diner staples such as loco moco, fried chicken and carved prime rib, per Liliha Bakery. The new location is set up for walk-in dining and aims to serve the same pastries and plates that have made the bakery a local favorite for decades.
Where it sits and why it matters
Waikīkī Beach Walk sits on Lewers Street between Kalākaua Avenue and Kalia Road and lists Liliha among its roster of restaurants, placing the bakery alongside a mix of national and local names that pull in steady foot traffic, according to Waikiki Beach Walk. The new lease was seen as a way to add a familiar, locally rooted menu to a tourist-oriented center, Pacific Business News previously reported.
Practical details
The Beach Walk location is listed on Liliha Bakery as 226 Lewers St., second floor, with daily hours from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Aloha State Daily also notes that guests can use valet at the nearby Embassy Suites by Hilton Waikīkī Beach Walk for parking.
