The bread here is especially great! It's a great price and great taste. They require that you wear face masks inside because they are an old couple who runs the store. If you don't have a face mask with you, they can help you outside. This is a great place and opportunity to support local!

Owners require mask to enter! (They are older so for the health and safety of everyone.) if you don't have a mask, someone will come out and help you or you can call in your order. Pros: -friendly staff - cash/card accepted -Got rainbow, guava, taro bread (4 loafs) fit perfectly in a box ready to hand carry on airplane -variety of cookies and sizes -has lunch too! Tuna melt $3! Small bento 2 pieces wing ding like fried chicken and 2 spam with rice! -reasonable prices We will be back to try more breads!! Yummm!

Everything here reminds me of my childhood. Unfortunately they close the inside for seating since Covid and it's really dusty but their food is ono and they make perfect snacks to bring home! Glad they are still in business.

Rainbow Bread from Low International. Better than sweetbread sold in the supermarkets, the answer is yes. I used to buy this Rainbow Bread and travel to the outer islands, the bread as omiyage (traditional Japanese gift given to family and friends). But then I thought, why was I not enjoying this bread myself at home? After all, at $5 a loaf, the price is comparable or better to similar items found at free standing bakeries and supermarkets. Hmmmm. Rainbow Bread $5.05 cash $5.30 credit card/debit card In this establishment you would never know if driving by, that it sells this delicious freshly baked bread. Multi flavored with guava, mango and, sweet bread. First the smell of this loaf, oh my and then, you slice it with a bread knife. You'll see the colors of the bread, intertwining throughout the loaf. So pretty. Make sure you don't press the loaf while slicing, and only use a bread knife. If not, your slice will turn into a small, compact slice vs. a fluffy, large slice. The texture, so soft and the taste, sweetness just right. Spread butter. Toast it if you want. There are times though, that the service can lack, being a bit abrupt depending on who is at the counter. But, I've come to accept the fact that if I don't take it personal, push my own feelings to the side for about two minutes, I'm able to walk away with their delicious Rainbow Bread + other items all the time. Oh, one more thing, please wear a mask or you'll be informed while ordering. (wink) There are other bread flavors and assorted cookies to choose from. Try them if you want. I always take the Rainbow Bread. Call before driving down to make sure they're open and that inventory of the product you want is available. You can also place a phone order with a pick up time and date. If traveling, there's a Low's logo box with a handle you can purchase that can fit four loaves of bread. Try this place. Give it a chance. Buy some Rainbow Bread for yourself or gifts for others. I just did. Breakfast for me and a perfect, inexpensive yet unique and delicious gift for someone else.

Take out only & they still require masks to be used. Large boneless Korean chicken bento was piping hot & heavy. Loads of chicken, rice, spam & pickled broccoli (that was interesting!) They also sell various fruit breads. Managed to scoop up a mango bread & a rainbow bread. Friendly service, bento chicken wasn't the greatest but wasn't the worst I've had either. Fair prices. Breads are delish!!

Wear a mask! May 2024 and owners are still requiring you to wear a mask you can also purchase one from the counter for 0.50$. Plate lunches are available via walk up or phone orders. Come in and buy their shortbread cookies made with real butter, not margarine. I bought the shrimp and ham omelette to go. Tons of whole shrimp and slices of ham (for under $5). Would have been kicked up a notch with a side of mac salad.

I live in the mainland and I'm grateful my Uncle sends me these sweet breads from the Big Island! The flavors are all delicious and the bread itself is so, so, so soft in the middle. Great for making french toast or just eating it right out of the bag! I'm looking forward to trying their food menu one day! Thank you Uncle! And thank you Low International Food for staying Local!

Whenever we fly to Hilo there are a few places we must visit before leaving. This is one of them. I'm glad that there are smaller regular size loaves of rainbow bread which make it easier to take omiyage on the plane than the very long ones before. When you cut into the bread you can see the pretty colors. The bread we brought back was way softer than what we got last April. Not sure if it's just me but I couldn't taste any fruit flavor or sweet bread flavor. I wanted to see if there were rainbow rolls but none to be found that day. The inside colors are so pretty. Maybe good to use to make cute finger sandwiches. Maybe I'll experiment and see if it will make good French bread for today's breakfast.

I am super HAPPY, I finally found the source where the Rainbow bread comes from. My high school classmate used to get me this bread, it just brings back memories and I miss them so much! Before my very first trip to Hilo back in Feb. I asked a few co-workers (from Hilo) about where to get the breads but they don't know about them. I searched Yelp and happen to find my answer, yay! It was so close to the mochi spot, talk about convenient and killed 2 birds with one stone. Quick note, visited Feb.2023 and September and mask is required here, if you don't have there is option to purchase one for .50 or use your shirt as your mask ( Hawaiian style) as stated on the sign. (( lol )) but he is for reals. I got to chat with the owner, Mr. Low I need to get to know him better, very interesting and somewhat friendly. Asked him some questions but hard to understand with mask on. I stocked up on my rainbow bread ( 4 loaves) noticed the longan (@ $5.lb) and star fruit ( 3 for $1) I bought all of the longan which was cheap compared to Honolulu. There are many different flavors of bread but I just wanted rainbow this visit. There are short bread cookies in different flavors and they looked good, sad face., I forgot to grab them. We were still stuffed and didn't get to order the food items, I like how there are photos of the food, glancing at the food photos, the hot dog plate caught my eyes, I miss eating this style. I ordered a plate for only $2.95 and a tuna melt sandwich for snack at the airport. Next time i want to try plate lunch. The other half and I enjoyed our order at the airport, back home during the weekdays , I toasted the bread for all of us with some butter and we sure enjoyed them with our coffee, what a treat! I love the color (like rainbow) and flavor of the bread! Oh if you get a chance read Mr. Low's message on one of his sign, my fave is "no moneytary tip, our tip... smile on All our customer face with a happy tummy!!! PLEASE keep your money for your next trip at Low International to enjoy your favorite meals and bakery favorites. Fine dining restaurant meals served as Hawaii take out style for your convenience. " Parking available in the back, don't forget mask up and the place does look a little clutter & messy but just come grab your goods, foods & go!! (No can dine in) I can't wait to visit Hilo again. Check out this Gem in Hilo town!

Haven't been back to Low's in over 20 years, its still the same, walking back into time...love how its exactly as we remember. Went to pick up their famous Rainbow Bread and shortbread cookies. If you haven't been there you must go, their bread and cookies are phenominal. NOTE: Ask them to pack for you in a box, we didn't and realized why they box the bread, we came home with very condensed bread, none the less still super super over the top soft and yummy, you can taste the fruits in the rainbow breads. Did I mention they use fresh fruit to make their breads, no fake flavors, real fruit juice. Definitely stop at Low International, you won't every find bread as soft, freshly baked and onolicious, nothing on Oahu is similar to this bread. Their shortbread cookies are also super yummy flaky, moist, crunchy, full of flavor try a sample bag for $2 you gonna go back for more, wish we picked up a few more bags.
