Our Brand

We are Ō and Kō (formerly Ō The Bake Shop) a dynamic food concept rooted in heritage and community. This rebranding reflects our growth while honoring the rich multicultural history of Hawaii’s agricultural community (an inspiration from the beginning) and the spirit of aloha that connects us all.

Ō signifies provisions for a journey—an invitation to savor flavors and stories

While Kō, ‘Ōlelo Hawaii (Hawaiian language) word for sugar cane, represents the sweetness of community. Together, Ō and Kō captures our mission to create a welcoming space that celebrates diversity through exceptional food. Join us in celebrating heritage and flavors as we embark on this exciting journey at the newly branded Ō and Kō!

What we do

We produce and sell our handcrafted mochi crunch to our wholesale accounts throughout the week. Focusing on production 2 days a week, while open to the public Wednesdays through Saturdays. We want to be a place you think of on your next journey. Come experience our mochi crunch, malasadas as well as other snack and baked goods inspired by Hawaii and the PNW.

Our malasadas

A malasada is a fried yeasted donut. A lightly sweetened, heavy on the eggs, dough that’s rolled in sugar and optionally filled. It was brought to Hawaii by Portuguese immigrants and quickly became one of Hawaii’s favorite tasty treats. We learned to make malasadas using our Vovo’s (Portuguese nickname for grandma) Malasada recipe as inspiration. Everything is house-made from scratch. We are intentional with our food, source what we can locally, and do our best to eliminate food waste. Due to our small team we make only what we can. We hope to see you soon.

MAHALO NUI!
