Hanalei Bread Company

Had the avocado toast on their gf bread and bought a loaf of gf bread to go. The gf bread is closer to a dense banana bread texture but good flavour and very filling. Not sure how safe the kitchen area is but I did not have any reaction and I am quite sensitive. Delicious coffee and great location, highly recommend if you are looking for breakfast/brunch!

So good I went back twice! Got the Peanut butter toast on gluten free bread. Grabbed a loaf to take back to resort. Get there early!

Got their avocado toast on Gluten free bread as well as a gluten free and dairy free muffin. It's a bakery so it's I the same area as regular bread and items so I can't speak to cross contamination being avoided. But I didn't seem to have any reaction.

As others have said, gf bread for dishes here as well as loaves to buy. The multi grain bread is thick and rich, not sweet, and very tasty. So good with the egg and cheese in the brekki sandwich! Got the gf banana bread to go, and I will absolutely be back for more! Note that the kitchen closes at Noon, so they stop taking food orders at 11:45.

I grabbed a loaf of their multigrain bread and it was my breakfast for the week. SO good. They use this bread in the gf versions of their breakfast menu, and the pb toast was awesome. Also they have great gf banana bread, and yummy smoothies. I thought the almond cake was just ok. No reaction!

The GF multigrain bread is so good that I bought a loaf and used it for toast and sandwiches throughout the week. One of the best GF breads I’ve ever tasted. The coffee is also good, and they are very friendly!

Really nice place and they do provide gluten free bread for sale separately and on the menu with this note: lots of flour is present in the baking facility. I tried the gluten free banana bread which was so yummy and also tried an avocado toast. I did have a bit of reaction but I was warned. Depending on how sensitive you are, this may not be the best option but it is an option for some.

This place is great! Their gluten free bread and almond cake is out of this world. The staff was very helpful with giving me ideas on gluten free options.

Love their gf banana bread, gf coconut bread and gf almond cake.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. No this is not celiac friendly but they make they very clear. It is great for other folks who are gluten sensitive though. Delicious banana bread, mochi cake and other treats made with gluten free flour.

Celiac friendly?

No

Didn’t even try. Up front about cross contamination. Why cook GF and obviously only do it for people who choose to eat that way not for those that have too. Every time I travel makes me want to open up a restaurant/bakery of my own.

Celiac friendly?

No

So disappointing to find a cafe with GF baked goods and be told by staff it’s not safe for Celiacs. Appreciate the honesty about kitchen bakery with lots of potential for CC issues, but why not actually take steps to make GF foods in a safe environment? One situation where catering to lifestyle GF eaters is not serving the greater good.

Celiac friendly?

No

Baked goods all made in the same kitchen, the raspberry bar and chocolate cookies were good. Did not get get sick.

They offer GF sandwich bread and banana bread, but huge risk of cross contamination. We didn’t risk it.

Celiac friendly?

No

Their GF products are really good. Would not serve to my Celiac family members. Cashier clearly said there is flour flying all over the place and cooking area is not separated. I suppose a good option for lifestyle preference GF folks but for Celiac probably a risk.

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff not friendly, they do NOT have a GF Menu. They have bread for $10 a loaf, but they wanted me to buy the whole loaf to make my sandwich. I got raspberry bar that was dry.

They make their own latte syrup and it is GF. Very good. Owner has celiac relatives and understands celiac. GF food items offered, but we were there only there for our morning coffee.
