Loves Bakery Hawaii

Our story began in June 1851 when a baker from Scotland by the name of Robert Love, made his journey from Sydney, Australia to Honolulu, Hawaii.

On July 12, 1851, Robert obtained a retail store license permitting him to operate a bakery and sell its products. Robert opened the first Loves Biscuit & Bread Co. on Nuuanu Street in 1853. Robert Love specialized in re-baking bread from sailing ships that had become inedible, as well as by selling hard biscuits, called hardtack.
