Where to start with the gem. Price great, service quick and efficient with their line. I actually love this place!! The wife introduced me to it when we Cuwere say Adidas and I wanted am inexpensive little snack and that's exactly what I got! I actually for NOW than that because I was willing to settle for a mediocre snack but instead got the most delicious little snack AND for $2.95?!!
They offset sweet snacks and savory, umm "not sweet" snacks?" Not sure what to call the not set ones aside from delicious! As an example, they offer a pizza little one with some pepperoni on it. I had that one last time and it was really tasty. Even ate it cold and was still delicious. That visit the wife had a sweet one that was like a cinnabun but about 1,000x better tasting than a dang Cinnabun! My second visit I decided to try to spicy dog one. Again a win! Tasty, filling, quick and inexpensive! All traits I look for in a snack while I'm out and about.
The service is friendly, fast and efficient. Zero complaints about this place! Definitely recommend stopping next time you see one and trying anything they offer. I'm sure you will not...
   Read moreNice little bakery in Ala Moana serving semi-sweet and savory items. If you like Japanese-style baked goods, then this is the place for you. If you like things on the sweet or super sweet side, you might want to go to Liliha Bakery or Dunkin Donuts.
They also have fresh juice and tea, coffee, soup and sell different flavored jam. Their 50/50 juice-tea combo was refreshing with a slight tang to it. Not overpowering...but enough to give it a nice citrus flavor.
You can really taste the matcha in their products which is great for those who love the flavor. The taste and the texture of the bread was also delicious. My family wasn't too impressed with the ham and cheese calzone...just a thin slice of ham with cheese. The bacon Epi looks great, but a little on the saltier-side (I know it's bacon...but I didn't expect it to be that salty with bread surrounding it).
Overall, it's a cute little bakery with a nice selection of Japanese goods to choose from. Can't wait to see what their next...
   Read moreWe were in the area twice during this most recent trip to Hawaii and both times, my niece requested the purple bread. It's made with purple sweet potato and there is a hint of that flavor but it isn't too strong. Plus, the bread is really fluffy. That girl has good taste!
I also tried the curry puff and bacon/scallion bun. I really loved the curry puff but I might be biased because I'm obsessed with curry puffs in general. The bun was good too but it's super buttery so it would be too much to eat in one sitting. I shared this one with five other adults so that everyone could try it, and even that one bite was super rich.
Brug is located in the back of the food court. There is another location in Ala Moana but it's much smaller and they have fewer options (i.e. no purple bread). Overall, it's a great option if you want a midday snack or are looking to pick up a quick brekkie for the next day.
Tip - if you check in on Yelp and spend a minimum of $10, you can pick out a free...
