Everything was amazing! A hidden gem. If you enjoy Japanese patisseries this is for you. Deliciously crafted bite sized desserts everyone would enjoy. The cream used with the profiteroles was outstanding in the green tea and vanilla we had. The prices were very reasonable for what you get and in my opinion the prices could be higher. We will be back.

Absolutely delicious! Just go, you won't regret it. The panna cotta is my favorite, best I've had anywhere. The almond cookies are also fantastic.

Cute hidden gem of a bakery in Lihue!! One of the best bakeries I’ve ever tried. They have a variety of baked goods, cookies, and hot beverages (tea, coffee, hot chocolate). I tried the vanilla bean profiterole, green tea profiterole, and their Lilikoi mousse. They were all AMAZING!! Thoroughly enjoyed them all and was immersed in the flavours. The prices are SO good as well. I got the 3 baked items, a bag of Russian tea biscuits, and a cup of tea for $10! The lady working there is super sweet as well. Will definitely be coming back regularly. Must try!

A Kawaii (super cute) dessert specialty shop!A must taste for the mousse, crème brûlée, and their oh so oishi Japanese cheesecake!This is not for the over sweet American mass produced pastry consumer!Definitely try their scratch made Blueberry Cheesecake. The blueberry sauce scratches your taste buds with tart sweet yummyness!On top of their signature sweets the service was laid back but friendly helpful!

The vanilla cream puffs are cheap and very yummy The chocolate chip cookies are also excellent. A must stop for dessert.

Please update your hours on google map. Says you are open on Sunday until 4. We stopped by and you were not open. Frustrating.

This is a great little sweet shop. I had been wanting to try it on previous trips to the island and we're glad we finally checked out their offerings after one lunch visit to Tip Top across the street.We were greeted warmly when we first walked in. First impression is that inside is a very clean and bright place. Their display cooler had chocolate & matcha profiteroles ($1.05), panna cotta ($4), chocolate mousse in a cup ($3.60), vanilla bean creme brulee ($4.85), macaroons ($0.95) and Japanese cheesecake ($8.75). There were a number of items that were sold out by that time of day such as mango mousse & lilikoi mouse cups.We got a couple of profiteroles and a panna cotta. The filling of the profiteroles were light and tasty. I liked the chocolate more than the matcha. The panna cotta was very good. It was a nice, light, sweet snack after a heavy lunch. There are a few parking spots in their private lot out front. Street parking is a bit hard to come by. If you're at Tip Top, just walk over. That's the best plan of action for us from now on. We will definitely be back again the next time we're in the area. I gotta try the mango mousse and Japanese cheesecake.

I loved this shop. Stopped here on a whim to kill time before dropping someone off to the airport and they had such cute and affordable snacks to try. A Japanese cheesecake was less than 9 bucks for a decent-sized portion. The person working there was kind and helpful, and the place was clean. They had an assortment of bagged cookies, crème brûlée's, mousse cups and different types of cakes. They do add cinnamon to their choc chip and choc chip macadamia cookies- which I wasn't a fan of. The person working even torched my crème brûlée for me. Service was awesome and if I ever decided to come back to this island this would be one of my first stops.

Absolutely delicious!! The Lilikoi Mousse was creamy, light and full of flavor. The prices are insanely affordable! Highly recommended!!
