Liliha Bakery

The Original Cocopuff Decorated Cakes Chantilly Cake Decorated Cupcakes Hot Cross Buns

In 1950, Roy and Koo Takakuwa opened a tiny retail outlet at 1703 Liliha Street selling Roy’s loaves of bread. The popularity of his baked goods outgrew the little store, and in 1961, the Takakuwa’s moved to Kuakini Street, but kept the Liliha name. Over the years, Liliha Bakery became an integral part of the community. The Takakuwas provided its employees with a family work environment. Some staff members have served 20, 30 and 40 years and have been instrumental in helping the business find its special place as a landmark bakery. Thirty-five years after founding the bakery, Roy died in 1985. His son, William, took over the business, and Koo oversaw the company’s finances till she retired in the early 1990s.
