I plan haupia pie stops around the day’s existing route. The best pie is the one I can pick up without blowing apart the calendar. Start with the island you are visiting, keep the bakery close to plans already on the books, and confirm the menu before a long detour.
This page is a directory for Oʻahu, Maui, Kauaʻi, and Hawaiʻi Island, not a statewide ranking. I use the island links below to begin a bakery search, then check with the bakery directly before driving over.
I start with the Oʻahu haupia pie guide. For a North Shore stop, Ted’s Bakery is on Oʻahu’s North Shore, and its current menu lists Chocolate Haupia Cream Pie by the slice and as a whole pie.
I open the Maui haupia pie guide before mapping the day. Confirm the bakery’s location, hours, and pie availability directly before making the drive.
I use the Kauaʻi haupia pie guide as a starting point for a south-to-north route. Keep a second bakery in the same part of the island in mind.
I open the Hawaiʻi Island haupia pie guide while planning my route. I keep the pie stop near the area I already plan to visit rather than building the day around a single bakery.
I call or check the bakery’s current menu on the day I plan to visit. Ask whether haupia pie is sold by the slice, whether whole pies need advance notice, and when the current batch may sell out.
If allergies matter, ask the bakery directly about ingredients and any cross-contact that matters to you. Do not infer ingredients or allergen practices from the pie’s name. A pie name is not an ingredient list.
I think a pie stop should improve the day, not turn it into a race against traffic or closing time. Pick the best option on your existing route. Save a farther bakery for the day you are already in that region.
If a whole pie will ride in the car, ask the bakery how it should be packed and stored. If your first stop sells out, use a nearby backup instead of betting on yesterday’s menu.

Trades are breezy right now with scattered showers on the windward side and mountains; the leeward coast stays mostly dry. Tomorrow stays breezy with the same pattern.
A tropical disturbance southeast of the islands is likely to become a tropical storm by mid-week and approach the state Thursday through Saturday. The exact track is still uncertain. If it comes closer, expect heavier rain over a longer stretch; if it stays farther out, impacts will be shorter and lighter. Winds will increase late this week, with potential gusts over 70 miles per hour on the highest summits.
Plan your leeward beach time and snorkeling for today through Tuesday. Save summit drives and offshore water sports for after Saturday, and check updates daily as this develops.
