Mr Ed’s Bakery

Yum shave ice, had the lilikoi as they made their own syrup for this flavor.
Friendly crew with a huge variety of jams to buy! Cute place glad I stopped when coming back from Akaka Falls! Definitely stop by again.

Like everyone else, we stopped in here on the way back to Hilo from Akaka Falls — which, by the way, ended up being way less fun than Rainbow Falls. Mr. Ed’s didn’t have a talking horse as far as I noticed, but it did feature a plethora of jams, fruit butters, ice cream, pastries and cookies. I thought about purchasing some macadamia nut cookies, being in the land of the macadamia and all, but instead got some kona coffee cookies for coworkers and ginger cookies for myself, which I promptly devoured. I later tried one of the coffee cookies as well, which was delicious but had a bit of a sand texture to it at first. The ginger cookies, replete with real ginger, were definitely superior and were quite possibly the best ginger cookies I’ve had.

This eclectic little bake shop is so cute! Stop here before or after going to Akaka Falls state park. They have a wide selection of jams/​fruit butters to sample (literally a whole wall). I also got a bag of Hawaiian pink salt for only $ 3! From what I understood Mr Ed is a real guy who manages the kitchen behind the store, and the other staff were really nice! For the traditional tourists at heart there are nice ¢25 post cards and several Hawaiian knick knacks. They have all sorts of baked goods of both Hawaiian and traditional western varieties. They sell packages of some of their baked goodies, which will last 7 – 10 days. Over all prices are very reasonable and quality is good.

Mr Ed… Your shaved ice and ice cream are the best! Oh and the cookies and the sweet treats!!! Sorry we missed seeing you this time!

I love their mauna kea cookies :) mango turnover and the apple turnover!!!
and the lady that helped us was very kind! They even offered to have us for Thanksgiving ;)

Popped into Mr. Ed’s after a visit to Akaka Falls, and what a pleasant surprise. I had a guava turnover, which was thoroughly yummy, and was overwhelmed by the selection of homemade jams, chutneys, etc. Seriously, they have flavors you’ve never thought of, much less tried. I wanted to bring home one of everything, but that would have required an extra suitcase, so I settled for a jar of low-​sugar mango jam. I can hardly wait to try it, but news on that will have to wait for an update.

Such a cute little place to stop in! The whole staff is super friendly and you can try as many of the various jams and butters as you want. My family and I even got to chat with Mr. Ed himself, who was very warm and friendly. Definitely try the shave ice with the lilikoi syrup, which is homemade! I loved this place– great food and such great character as well.

Great turnovers! I would give them five stars if they had a little more filling and less pastry…

Stopped here for shaved ice and baked goods after a trip to Akana Falls. Quaint place, had great service. I enjoyed the shortbread cookies and my husband enjoyed the monkey bread.

We really wanted to like this place. However, the monkey bread was dry, the turnovers had very little filling, and the bread pudding wasn’t a big hit either. Maybe we just caught them on a bad day, but it just wasn’t everything the reviews described.

My sweetheart and I were on the Big Island a few months ago, going to spectacular Akaka Falls to sightsee. On the way back, we stopped in here for a shaved ice. So glad that we did.
First let me say that Mr. Ed’s is in an adorable little town, Honomu… pretty small and quaint but a place you could certainly romanticize about! But I digress.
A few super nice young folks who worked at Mr Ed’s helped us pick out some shaved ices from their impressive selection (and they were DELICIOUS and refreshing), but we were only getting started… the selection of homemade jams was jaw dropping and they were super generous with small samples. I got a terrific mango-​habanero and also a lilikoi jam which I just used today with fish, and it was over-​the-​moon amazing great awesome! I can’t wait to order some more jams.
Next time I’m back on the Big Island, this is on my must-​visit list!

Referred to this place with a 10% off coupon from the Zip Line company nearby. What a treat! I purchased the BEST passionfruit jam and pineapple/​coconut jam I have ever had. So fresh and sweet and nothing artificial tasting. I cannot stop eating it since I got home! I even used the passionfruit as a coconut scallop dipping sauce! Super friendly place and you can sample the goods. The macaroons were tasty and my favorite was the macadamia shortbread cookies. The fresh homemade hawaiian rolls were good too. I wish they had a website to order from but I think you can order by email because I do know they ship in-​store.

Fun stop after Akaka Falls. My daughter saw the snow cone picture on the store front and asked to stop. It was so refreshing to be able to get snack and other goodies.
We got scow cones, cold drinks and ice cream. I also got homemade spice blend and a jar of Lillikoi butter. The staff are friendly and accommodating.
Nice cute location and building with a rustic touch. Very local and small-​town vibe. Loved it.

MMMMMM. Had the cocopan (sweet bread stuffed with coconut filling), and it was tasty! Moist bread, just the right sweetness and yummy coconut inside. Lots of other tasty tempting treats, but if there’s coconut, I’m in.
Would stop here every time we’re in the area — yum!

Never have I written a review about a business establishment that I enjoyed doing business with so much and felt so good about. I actually purchased over a dozen jars of jam, they are delicious. I am pertaining to the character and generosity of the owners of Mr. Ed’s Bakery. Well, here is is. Dean and June Edmoundson, the owners of Mr. Ed’s Bakery, not only make some of the most delicious jams and pastries on the Big Island, using only fresh and local ingredients, but they also have the biggest heart. My wife and I went there last week and spent over an hour there, sampling their jams and talking to them about what they do in the life of the community of Honomu. They are not only talented people with the things they create in the kitchen but they also change people’s lives, doing all that they can for others without any regard to themselves. Please review the Youtube clip that Dean lightly touched on during our visit. Dean is a very humble and spiritual man, never one to boast about what he has done. Fortunately for my wife and I, he did share that his community put on an event in his and June’s honor. When I saw the clip I was very touched and will never be the same. I am asking my fellow Unilocalers to please consider Mr. Ed’s Bakery when you are on the Big Island of Hawaii. And yes, they do make the best island jams and pastries on the Big Island. You will be blessed in many ways.

Mahalo to Dean and June

Smells awesome, tastes bland.
I bought chocolate chip cookies, snicker doodles, cinnamon bread, and monkey bread. They all had one thing in common — definitely fresh but definitely bland. Spent about $ 20 on my samplings… had half of each cookie and a few bites of each bread then threw out the remains and went to Unilocal to search for something else to eat.

Wonderful! Mr. Ed, aka Dean, made the stop even more enjoyable. Monkey bread, cinnamon rolls & tasty jams. Glad we stopped after the falls!

I’d love to come back here — such a cute bakery. Wall of jams! I had to resist buying more than a couple of flavors because I couldn’t carry them all back. Also bought some lilikoi shortbread, very tasty, and some ice cream which really hit the spot after the hot day we had. I wish I could have tried more stuff but my capacity for sweets is unfortunately finite.
Everyone in the shop was friendly. The girl who helped us was so nice, answered all our questions, wrapped up my jam without me asking so I could check it in my luggage, and we had a great chat. Just a lovely experience overall.

Ed’s Bakery has great shaved ice, which is a welcome treat after walking around Akaka Falls State Park (it’s on the way back to the highway). They seem to use the same or a very similar machine as the famous Matsumoto on Oahu, so the ice has a nice consistency to it. They have the flavored syrups (not nearly as many as Matsumoto) and ice cream you can get on the bottom, but what makes this shaved ice so amazing is that you can substitute the syrup with their homemade Liliko’i (passionfruit) juice! It’s delicious! These five stars are for the shaved ice, since I didn’t taste any of the other baked goods (they didn’t look that great, but I didn’t try them).
I would also recommend visiting the Woodshop Gallery, a few storefronts down, which has some nice art pieces.

Mr. Ed of you’re out there, I love you!!! This place is amazing! So many jams, jellys, preserves, pastrys and snacks! I wish I had four stomachs and a fat wallet! I wanted to get and eat everything in that place.
They have the little shop with all the jams and jellys, and the little room next to it was the little bakery with all the pastrys. We were greeted as soon as we came in. The lady was soooooo courteous and answered any question we had. We headed into the other room, and the young lady in that room was also very accommodating and patient. She as well answered our questions and let us try about 10 different jams, all of them were delicious!!! It was soo hard to choose! Everything was fairly priced. We ended up getting a guava pastry, coconut pastry, lilikoi preserve, and passionate fruit mustard.
I want to go back and get more!
