Short 'n' Sweet
Sweet or savory - that's the question at this quality, two-table bakery. In the morning choose between a breakfast panini or delicate, French-style croissant and pastries, or, on Sunday, eggs benedict. Midday brings sandwiches on house-made focaccia bread and salads (often local and organic) with homemade dressings. On Friday and Saturday evening locals pack in for pizza made from scratch. As if that's not enough, the sweets are incredible.

Kailua Candy Company
Founded in 1977, this stark chocolate shop once ranked in Bon Appetit magazine as among America's top 10. Try its celebrated macadamia-nut honu ('turtles'; nuts and caramel covered with chocolate) and truffles in flavors like passion fruit, Kona coffee and guava-rum. To get here, turn mauka on Hina Lani St off Hwy 19 and right on Kamanu St.

Tex Drive-In
A malasada is just a donut, but Tex is famous for making them fresh, fat and delicious. They come plain or filled. Tex also serves an above-average plate lunch, with crisp green salads and tasty renditions of the classic meats, like Korean chicken. There's also an attached gift and garden shop.
