Sharon Toriki, Owner
Kapuakea Products

Kapuakea Products offers unique baked products blending island flavors with old world European style and tradition.

Their mouth-watering Hawaiian specialty breads include Ginger-Pumpkin Bread, Banana-Poi Loaf and Double Chocolate Macadamia Nut Loaf.

Those with a sweet tooth can indulge in Lilikoi Lemon Bars, Coconut Shortbread Cookies, Kona Coffee Fudge Brownies, Chocolate Raspberry Drizzles and Guava Raspberry Macadamia Nut Squares.

Sharon Toriki and her longtime friend Betty Jane “B.J.” Uegawa often purchased these delicious treats as gifts for their friends and families.  When they learned that the owner was selling the business, Sharon and B.J. contacted Central Pacific Bank.  In December 2003, the two friends purchased Kapuakea Products through a Small Business Loan.

"From the first, Central Pacific Bank provided us with expert guidance, exceptional customer service, and made certain that our business interests were thier interests,” says Sharon.  “With my business partner living on Kauai and both of us having full-time jobs, Central Pacific Bank has truly been a godsend for us.”

“I have been in the restaurant business for nearly 30 years and I understand how important and crucial customer service is,” says Sharon.  “It plays a pivotal role in determining the success of an establishment.  Without the business banker's expertise and guidance, we would never have been able to be so successful.”

Kapuakea Products is located on 439 Kamani St. near the corner of Ward Avenue and Queen Street.  For more information, log onto www.kapuakeaproducts.com.
