Seven Brothers Mom's Bakery

I finally made the trek to Seven Brothers Mom's Bakery!

Chocolate Chip with Sea Salt

The Chocolate Chip Sea Salt cookie was yummy!  It was soft and chewy, with huge chunks of chocolate throughout.

Cinnamon Roll

Coconut & Chocolate Chip Mac Nut

BOM Brownies

PB Chunk

Mom's Banana Bread

The banana bread was great.  I liked the addition of the coconut for added sweetness and texture.

The bakery also offers gelato and shakes!

OREO Storm

Nutella Goddess

We all loved the treats we got.  It was totally worth the drive!

Seven Brothers Mom’s Bakery & Market

Disclaimer: the Aloha Nui box was provided complimentary by our sponsor. All opinions are my own.

During a recent day off from work and school, we had the sweetest opportunity to visit Seven Brothers Mom’s Bakery in the cozy town of Lāʻie at the Kahuku Sugar Mill. 

Tucked along the North Shore, this family-run bakery is known for its island hospitality and freshly baked treats. We were invited to check out their signature ALOHA NUI box, and we couldn’t wait to see (and taste!) what it was all about.

We made the scenic hour-long drive from Kāneʻohe, and let me tell you, the journey itself felt like part of the experience — lush mountains, glimpses of the coastline, and plenty of instagrammable island views along the way (unfortunately I couldn't capture any of it because I was driving!).

When we arrived, we were warmly greeted by a kind lady who had our Aloha Nui box ready for us. Inside was a fresh loaf of their famous banana bread (yes, it smelled as good as it sounds!). On top of that, we were invited to pick two more bakery items to try. Easier said than done — everything looked incredible!

After some deliberation (and a little help from my son, who had his eye on the butter croissant), we settled on that, plus a chocolate chip cookie with sea salt, which came highly recommended.

 

 But I couldn’t stop there — I had to also try their peanut butter chunk cookie and the ever-alluring brookie (a brownie-cookie hybrid!).

Let’s just say... we were not disappointed.

Each bite was better than the last, but if I had to choose favorites, the PB chunk cookie and brookie won me over completely. That said, every item was a winner — from the perfectly golden croissant to the chewy, sweet-and-salty chocolate chip cookie.

If you’re a fan of chewy cookies, this place is absolutely for you. The textures, flavors, and homemade feel of everything we tried made it a bakery visit to remember.

But wait, they also serve sup milkshakes and gelato — the perfect way to top off a treat-filled visit.

Whether you’re a local looking for a sweet escape or a visitor wanting to taste some real aloha, Seven Brothers Mom’s Bakery is well worth the drive.

Open Mondays - Saturdays, 7 AM - 9 PM

Thanks to our sponsor for inviting us to check out your family-run bakery in Kahuku!

The Beach Bus

While walking around the Kahuku Sugar Mill for something to eat, my youngest son and I stumbled upon a sign for waffles on a stick from The Beach Bus, so we decided to order food from there. 

They offer several different types of waffles on a stick.  Each of my kids decided on getting OREO Waffle Sticks.

They loved them!

Deep Fried Cheesecake

The Deep Fried Cheesecake on the menu (which, curiously, had no prices at all) caught my eye.  It was quite a sinful treat, drizzled with chocolate.

In addition to the sweets, we ordered: 

Nacho Cheese Fries

Keiki Pizza

Bus Burger Combo

I highly recommend ONLY sticking to the waffles.  The fries, burger, and pizza were all the kinds of foods you can buy at a store and make (heat in the microwave) yourself.  And the fact that there were no prices on the menu was very questionable (all of the above cost me $59 total).

I wanted to support local, but I left feeling disappointed.  

If you decide to visit The Beach Bus, stick with the sweets and skip the savories.

Da Bald Guy Food Truck

After a morning at the beach in Kahuku, we stopped for lunch at the Kahuku Sugar Mill, because I really wanted to try Da Bald Guy - a food truck parked right in the parking lot of the Sugar Mill.  There are a bunch of food trucks in the area - he's located closest to the Mill in the parking lot. Just look for the turquoise food truck .. it's hard to miss!

I ordered a combo of the furikake crusted fish of the day (today's fish was ono) and peeled garlic butter shrimp. I really wanted to get it on a bed of fried rice, but unfortunately they did not have fried rice today.

For $20,I thought this was reasonably priced. It came with 7 pieces of juicy garlic butter shrimp, and the best part was not having to peel the shrimp. 

The furikake crusted ono was crispy on the outside, and flakey and moist on the inside. 

I regret not getting the strawberry soda cake dessert to-go ... according to Gem's review, the desserts are amazing.  There's always next time!

Follow @dabaldguy_foodtruck on Instagram for updates! There is a link in the bio to order online - I highly recommend ordering ahead to minimize your wait time.
