Hawaii cafe serves this rare pastry from famed SF bakery all year long
Briefly

Kona Coffee Purveyors, located in the International Market Place since 2016, has become incredibly popular, drawing long lines for its premium 100% Kona coffee and exclusive pastries from B. Patisserie, a renowned San Francisco pastry shop. Notably, it is the first B. Patisserie outlet outside of San Francisco. The cafe focuses heavily on quality and has trained staff from the B. Patisserie team, ensuring a top-notch experience. Customers rave about unique offerings such as the black sesame kouign-amann, available year-round, and other delightful pastries not found elsewhere in Hawaii.
"We were their first store outside of San Francisco, and we're huge fans of them," Jackie Suiter, co-owner of Kona Coffee Purveyors, told SFGATE. Her business partner Raymond Suiter also founded Honolulu Coffee Company, which he sold in 2008.
"We knew that we wanted a bakery concept, and if we could have something as amazing as B. Patisserie, we felt like it would be very aligned with the level of execution we were planning to do at Kona Coffee Purveyors," she said.
On the cafe's shelves are B. Patisserie's chocolate banana croissants and madeleines, as well as its famous kouign-amann, made fresh at its onsite bakery.
The black sesame kouign-amann is the No. 1 seller. And unlike the San Francisco store, which serves it only twice a year, Kona Coffee Purveyors offers black sesame all year long.
