A
Hot Cookie
If this place seems familiar, that says something about your taste in cookies and entertainment. After a couple of adult film scenes were shot here, Hot Cookie became the place to be seen and photographed for porn stars – hence the wall of signed Hot Cookie underwear, and customers eating chocolate chip cookies with a certain gusto.

Devil's Food
They do supper and sandwiches, but the decedent pastries are reason enough to visit this lovely Washington Park cafe. The hardest to resist is the red velvet hedgehog – a moist red cake covered in cream cheese icing and shaped like a little monster. The brunch menu, crowned by an excellent salmon Benedict, is a neighborhood favorite.

Liguria Bakery
Bleary-eyed art students and Italian grandmothers are in line by 8am for the cinnamon-raisin focaccia hot out of the 100-year-old oven, leaving 9am dawdlers a choice of tomato or classic rosemary and 11am stragglers out of luck. Take what you can get, and don't kid yourself that you're going to save it for lunch.

Sweet Lady Jane
There’s a cake for every craving – orange chiffon, seven-layer chocolate, triple berry shortcake – inside the ivy-colored walls of Sweet Lady Jane, one of LA’s most popular bakeries. To make the choice even tougher, peek into the cake-making workshop to see what’s frosting up next. Fresh sandwiches too.

Slate’s Restaurant & Bakery
This much-loved Hallowell institution suffered a tragic fire in 2007, leaving only its bakery intact. Rebuilding is underway, meaning you should be able to enjoy the area’s best seafood and grilled dishes soon. In the meantime, stop in the cheery bakery for excellent scones and other goodies.

Bova Italian Bakery
At any time of day or night, head to this little corner store with the window overlooking Salem St. Besides the sublime Italian loaves, pulled straight from the oven, you'll find an amazing selection of cookies, cannoli and other pastries. Bonus: Bova also makes mean sandwiches on homemade bread.

Café Tropical
Che would feel right at home in this Cuban bakery and coffee shop where an entire wall is swathed in photographs of the revolutionary heartthrob. Stop by for their flaky guava-cheese pie, pressed pork sandwiches and muy macho café con leche (very strong coffee with milk).

Moana Bakery & Café
- Maui, USA
- Restaurants › Bakery
Since Moana's French pastry master left to start his own restaurant, the pastries here have lost their edge, but everything else remains right on at this hip restaurant. The blackened 'ahi wrap sandwich served with mango-pineapple salsa and Moloka'i sweet potatoes is a sure winner.

Baonecci
Recharge for the Coit Tower climb with panini turbo-loaded with bold Southern Italian flavors on house-baked ciabatta or focaccia. Tastebuds sit up and pay attention to the Studente, a ham and cheese sandwich slathered with hot Calabrese red-pepper paste and green olive spread for $6.50.

Piroshky Piroshky
Proof that not all insanely popular Pike Pl holes-in-the-wall go global (à la Starbucks), Piroshky is still knocking out its delectable mix of sweet and savory Russian pies and pastries in a space barely big enough to swing a small kitten. Join the melee and order one 'to go.'

Letizia’s Natural Bakery
Early risers can get their fix of fantastic baked goods here starting at 6am, and everyone else can swing by at a more reasonable hour for Letizia’s crunchy, toasty panini, slices of gourmet pizza and cups of mind-expanding coffee. The patio with plush seats wins kudos in summer.

Wildflower Bread Company
Yummy bread alert – carbophobes beware! Any time is a good time to feed grumbling tummies at this regional bakery and deli chain, but lines are definitely longest at lunchtime. The healthful sandwiches are a good picnic choice if you’re hitting the hiking trail.

Kilauea Bakery & Pau Hana Pizza
Go early for the best selection of gooey mac-nut sticky buns, sourdough loaves, tropical Danish pastries, etc - they can sell out before noon. The pizza is rather bready, but features tasty toppings like smoked ono, Kilauea goat cheese and fresh sugarloaf pineapple.

Canaletto
A showy exhibition kitchen and sky-high ceilings emphasize the solid northern Italian cooking, especially fresh-baked breads from Il Fornaio bakery. To be safe, stick with signature dishes like porcini risotto and roasted chicken. Aim for a table with a gondola view.

Water Street Bakery
Gourmet on a budget? No problem at this hole-in-the-wall bakery that makes organic breads and luscious sandwiches, such as spicy grilled lamb with roasted veggies. Homemade soups and salads too. It’s takeout only but there’s a sidewalk bench out front.

Sascha
There's a swanky restaurant upstairs and an attractive bar/bistro downstairs, but the best part of Sascha is its on-site bakery. Fresh brioche, croissant, and paninis washed down with fresh hot chocolate while you sit in the sunshine at Sascha's outdoor tables.

Komoda Store & Bakery

Justifiably famous throughout the islands for its mouth-watering cream puffs and liliko'i (passion fruit) malasadas, this generations-old family bakery makes the perfect morning stop. And the emphasis is on mornings 'cause it often sells out by noon.

Lily's Café & Pastries
Surfers who've worked up an appetite in the early morning waves invade this beloved indie place to refuel on the biggest, meanest breakfast burrito under the sun. Beware the salsa unless you plan on auditioning as a fire eater. Great coffee and pastries, too.

A popular stop for the island’s working-class folks, this no-frills eatery on the edge of town is known for its blueberry pancakes, big omelettes and simple comfort fare. It also doubles as a bakery with homemade doughnuts and other sweet treats.
