Crumb And Get It

Crumb and Get It is a small bakery in Poipu Shopping Village on Kiahuna Plantation Drive in Koloa, the kind of South Shore Kauai stop that runs out of pastries before lunch and considers that a good day. Head baker Jen leads a from-scratch program: croissants, scones, banana bread, challah, sea-salt cookies, cinnamon rolls in rotation. Cold brew has its own following, called out in reviews as a reason to drive over. Hours are 7:30 to 2, weekdays especially, and Poipu regulars know to come early. The room is tight, the line is fast, and the bake schedule shows on the case. The crowd is Koloa locals, condo guests walking over from the plantation side, and visitors looping back from Shipwreck or Poipu Beach. Order the cold brew with a cinnamon roll if you want the South Shore morning that locals actually take. Order the croissant if you came for the bake.
