HONOLULU | Breadshop is a Kaimuki bakery founded by owner and former Alinea, The French Laundry and Town chef baker, Chris Sy. The focus is on high quality bread and baked goods, baked fresh in small batches throughout the day.
The idea was formed when Chris realised that many of the kinds of bread that he was craving, weren’t readily available, if available at all, in Honolulu. He started selling his bread around town, at places like The Pig & The Lady farmers markets. In 2016, he opened his own venue in Kaimuki.
Unlike most bakeries, you can’t just walk in to Breadshop and choose what you like. Due to the small batch nature of the business, your best bet is to go online and place an order a day or two in advance. You can walk up to the counter and order then and there, but everything might not be available. At the end of the day, any unsold product is donated to a local food pantry.
Before I visited Breadshop, I’d enjoyed Chris’ sourdough at Mud Hen Water, and brioche at Bar Maze. Both excellent, I knew that I had to pop into the bakery before my time in town was over. Needless to say, I wasn’t disappointed. Arriving just before closing, I grabbed a ham and gruyere croissant, and a cardamom sugar morning bun. Both were outstanding. If I lived in town, I’d have definitely grabbed a few loaves of bread for home.
