Ted's Bakery Chocolate Haupia Pie For those lucky enough to spend any amount of time on Oahu’s North Shore, affectionately known as the ‘capitol’ of big wave surfing, no trip is complete without a stop at the local landmark known as Ted’s Bakery. This unassuming little place is easy to zip by and miss and frankly, from the outside it doesn’t look like much. To miss Ted’s though is to miss the delights of a very special chocolate cream pie - Ted’s World Famous Haupia Chocolate Cream Pie. Sure, there are plenty of other pies and treats you can buy at Ted’s and they are all delicious - but have one bite of this delicacy and chances are that it will become the only thing you ever buy there. Haupia is a traditional coconut milk dessert - so when you put it between chocolate and cream layers on a flaky crust - what you have can only be described as heavenly.
 Ted's Bakery - Sunset Beach, Oahu |  Just a few of Ted's sweet selections. |
Ted’s Bakery has deep roots on Oahu. Ted’s grandfather came to Oahu in the early 1900s to work in the sugarcane industry. Eventually, he had the opportunity to purchase land on the North Shore that was owned by the Kahuku Sugar Plantation but was deemed too rocky for the cultivation of sugarcane. Decades later, the Sunset Beach Store was built by Ted’s father, Takemitsu Nakamura in 1956. Mr. Nakamura and his family ran the local store until 1987, but at that point, his son Ted opened an adjoining bakery from which he sold donuts and other pastries. Almost a decade later, Ted started sourcing cream pies to local stores and restaurants. The pies were an instant hit everywhere they went - but they always seem to taste best when you get them at Ted’s.
