“So many bakeries have come and gone. Now it's supermarket bakeries or here. We've been coming a little too often since their mini dream cake is lusciously yummy and it's a bit cheaper plus smaller than a regular sized one. Hubs got a coupon to try their new mochizada special warranting today's stop. Looks good... Desserts, you are our temptation for sure. Signed Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum aka Rolly Polies.“
“We skipped dessert at the restaurant and stop by here instead. They were closing soon so only had a limited selection. The staff was helpful although reserved as if we interrupted something. There was no seating, just enough room for people to browse the counters as well as tables with fun Halloween displays and gift baskets. We got a couple brownie cookies and a chocolate dipped rice crispy treat to take home. The cookies were perfect--crisp outside, soft inside! Delish!“
“We go there for the shaved ice which is very fine ice, just the way we like it. It's a little slow so we normally always have to wait. They have a seating area outside next to the playground with a view of the pool.Kid-friendliness: Nice playground for little kids.“
“Interesting I didn't stumble upon this service during the pandemic, but did you know Safeway offers curbside pickup - you just need to spend a minimum of $35! This service is amazing and the staff that has shopped for me and communicated substitutions has always been friendly and helpful. The curbside pickup in particular, you do pay for the bags they'll need to shop/bag your groceries, you can't bring your own. But to my knowledge, you get the store pricing (not some marked up price) and you can clip online coupons and get sale items, just as if you are shopping in-store. This service has been a massive time saver and I'm so thankful for not only the service but the friendly staff. Mililani Safeway doesn't have designated stalls to park in. During my first order, they told me to park near the front curb, near to the blue post office mailbox.“
“Excellent noodle restaurant with an incredible bakery.The Ramen meal we had was delicious and plentiful. Full flavored, plenty of good noodles all added to a delightful experience.Service was great, they could not have been more helpful and pleasant.Their bakery items are delicious, the apple turnover tasted like apple not overly sweet, with one of the flakest crusts ever.“
“A must stop if you're on the North Shore! We weren't sure what kind of shop we were looking for, so we passed it up and missed the parking across the street, but there are a few parking spots right around the corner with a path that leads to the shop. We purchased the chocolate chip and mochi loaves. They were both really delicious; the mochi was super moist. If we were to go back, I would definitely get the mochi loaf again. I may have to check out their shipping options.“
“I rarely make it down to the North Shore but whenever I do - each and every time - i never fail to stop by this bakery! I always stock up on their snow puppies. I don't know what it is, but it is soooo delicious. Not too heavy and not too sweet but JUST the perfect amount. It's the perfect snack after a long day of swimming and it certainly satisfies my cravings. The custard inside is added at just the right amount and the drizzled chocolate on top gives it just the right finishing touches. They have other pastries and items here too but this is definitely what we come for every time!“
“Kilani bakery is an icon in wahiawa. This is a family run bakery for over 60 years.Turn on my favorites is the Danish custard. It's very full of custard. They have glazed donuts, chocolate top donuts, and the chocolate brownies are awesome. It is best to go early in the day cuz by 11:00 they run out of pastries.Well that's a good sign people love their food. But if you go too late, there won't be much left. We will be back for more.Mahalo, Wes n Wanda Anzai.Mililani Hawaii 3-2024“
“Really dig this place! They have gluten free options like homemade bread for sandwiches and cookies!! Loved their monster cookie and also got a pina colada smoothie. The girl who worked there was also super sweet. Highly recommend Waialua Bakery!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options!“
“Old school mochi store, making fresh mochi every day. Definitely one of the gems on the island and State. You can build your own mochi box or buy a pre-made assortment of most of their mochi selections. They also have pre-wrapped chi chi dango boxes. One is just plain and the other is assorted fruit flavors.“
“These are seriously some fantastic cookies. It’s definitely an indulgence since they are almost $5 each, but for a treat once in a while it’s totally worth it. They rotate the flavors often, so you can get a new experience almost every time you go in. The cookies are served warm, so prime eating time is immediately after ordering. They are also good the next day. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely worth going, if only just once.“
“THE ABSOLUTE BEST. Got two fritters, two mini taro donuts, a cream donut, and a regular donut and the total was like $11. It was damn cheap. Vibes are great. Staff are friendly. Quality is off the rails. Some of the best donuts I've had anywhere. Even my fritter snob of a girlfriend ate the whole thing and was asking for more the next day. Don't miss this gem. Arrive early.“
“Elvin’s Bakery is my favorite bakery in town. I love everything here, especially their cakes. They have a variety of cakes to choose from. Whenever I need a cake for special occasion like birthday, anniversary or retirement, I always get my cake from Elvin’s. They also sell other pastries besides cakes.“
“On 3/8/24 My husband and I were in this area and we stumbled across the food truck and we were so excited. We just had to stop by and purchase some malasadas. ?Located at target ?parking lot towards the rear.We hadn’t eaten lunch yet, so this was perfect to eat as a snack. We got the cinnamon sugar and the haupia. So fresh! ?and truly Yummylicious!! ?In my honest opinion, there is a difference between this one and the main restaurant off Waikiki area. This one was slightly more on the dense side (not terribly dense) which I liked. My experience at the main restaurant in Waikiki was not so great. Reason being it was not thoroughly cooked. It may have been rushed. The inside was still slightly doughy ?and I felt like I was eating halfway cooked dough. It was definitely not pleasant in my mouth, therefore, had to discard it.The one from this food truck was perfecto?. We loved it and we would return here again.Aloha! ????“
“If you enjoy ube flavored desserts this is a place to try out. The ube mochi was tasty. Although if you do not care for coconut flavor, ask before you buy as they include it in some of the desserts. Also this is just a buy and go place, there are no tables to sit at.“
“What a quaint bakery in North Shore. Reminds me of being in my childhood large eat in down home country kitchen in North Carolina watching my Mom make crust, homemade butter, breads and so forth...The aroma was captivating in Hi Pie, took me to my childhood.When i walked in, I saw on 1 counter the prepping of individual size pot pies with homemade pie crust and pie filling and on another counter a quiche that was being sliced. In the small showcase there was a PINEAPPLE CREAM PIE, carrot sheet like cake with lil coconut on top, blueberry cheesecake and a few other things. I was extremely surprised and full of smiles. Just a really feel good and clean place. The lady who helped me was wonderful and appeared to be kind.... again adding to the atmosphere of my childhood and happy place. I ordered a slice of PINEAPPLE CREAM PIE and a chicken pot pie.I was so in the atmosphere of Hi Pie that i forgot to take pictures. When i tell you this place reminded me of being in our country kitchen full of everything homemade and happy!!! Hi Pie is the place!* PINEAPPLE CREAM pie: umh umh umh... delicious just simply delicious. The slice was overly generous, the taste was outstandingly amazing. The crust is beautifully buttery without being a mouth full of oils... the cream is fluffy and leaves a toasty pineapple taste that makes you smack your lips. (Only have picture of the pie after i ate 2/3s)* Individual size chicken pot pie: heated it up for 20mins on 350. My hubby loved it. He said the crust was flakey and flavorful. The pie filling was seasoned well and yummy. (Only have picture of the uncooked pot pie because my hubby started eating before i could take pictures).I belv Hi Pie is now my favorite bakery in Oahu!A must visit for every visitor to Oahu!“
“I went to Ani's Bake Shop early this morning to purchase pastries for an Easter luncheon. It was so nice to walk into the shop and see and get whatever I needed. The staff was very pleasant and helpful in helping me carry out my yummy pastries out to my car. Whatever is your choice of pastry you're not going to be disappointed!“
“Came in right before closing, and Nana greeted us! Walked us through all of their baked goods on display, it felt right at home with Nana sharing which ones were her favorite, and which ones Nana influenced. Spent some time talking to Nana and Cece, and as always, it's great to see small local businesses who want to do good in the community. With paint and sips, and kids baking sessions coming up, it's clear Cece wants to do more than just give us some sweet treats! The Haupia crunches were amazing. And as my girlfriend stated "I could just eat the crust!" And the pecan bar was just like the crunches' crust, and was just sooooo delicious! Go and support them! Looking forward to getting muddy buddies, kettle corn, or Tajin covered gummies next visit :)“
“Great pies! Love the filling to crust ratio on the mini pies. They have a lot of good tasting fillings too! Love the Hawaiian pear and banana cream so far :) Parking and getting there are a hassle. Small lot, construction in that Kapalama area. Wait time not too bad. And the staff is friendly, local place so hard to get to picky with the limitations. Hope they do well and move to a bigger place and make more pies per day!“
“I like to think of myself as a smoothie connoisseur and the Aloha smoothie is so GOOD plus the chocolate chip banana bread was great too. Lines get long so be patient! There is also a sitting area where you can relax before heading to the beach, read a book, or if you just finished a morning tour.P.S. bathrooms are located on the right side of the building keep walking and you will see a restroom sign!“
“I have not found a lot of donuts on island that I love! However, Mr Donut def delivers. They're big, they're tasty and so fluffy. They are more on the pricey side but it's Hawaii. Service is always friendly and I've stopped by more times than I'd like to admit.“
“I have ordered two dozen cupcakes twice from Cupcake and Things Bakery for birthday parties and have been impressed both times. The cupcakes are moist, the frosting is light and fluffy, tastes homemade and perfectly sweet without being overpowering. The decorations are hands down adorable and their flavors are fantastic. I told my husband last night they are probably the best cupcakes I have ever ordered. The kids love them and parents always ask where we purchase them. They are a bit on the pricier side but I'm okay with that since they taste so great, and the service has been exceptional both times. My only con is the cupcake packaging is really flimsy and I have damaged a couple in transport but thankfully kids don't typically notice.“
“Super delicious malasadas! Hands down the original and best on island. We used to like their original, plain malasadas a lot but once they came out with the ones with filling, I was definitely head over heels in love with those. My favorite is the custard or lilikoi filling. Even those the fillings are sweet, it somehow seems to almost balance out the sugariness of the pastry! A super yummy and awesome treat. Not too oily either, and their service is as fast as can be for making fresh malasadas!“
“I am a banana bread fiend and auntie really do be making one of the best banana breads out here!! Not super sweet and I also love the texture of the bread, the right balance between fluffy and dense. ***I got the banana coconut custard banana bread but she also provides other flavors such as walnut and chocolate chips :P**“
“Not sure how to update my other review, but I had another opportunity to visit Brug, but this time around 1015am. There were tons of their special Seal bread. The facial expressions were cute. Had to get two different ones. Hahaha Will be back again for more! Check em out!“
“Place has been busy every time we were there and there is a reason for that. Excellent food and descent prices. Unfortunately they forgot one of our items, which was sad. We called and told them about it and they gave it to us when we went back with almost an apology.“
“I really like this store. I have a 5 star ⭐️ rating because I really love it. The only thing is I called at 1pm they said their Cinnamon rolls were done I had to go back and forth 3 times just to get them. Cause they never make it yet. Workers kept saying 30 minutes I waited more than 1.5 hr. But over all is good. I think the owner wasn’t there. I know if she was there it’ll be all good. Yeeey from 1pm to 4:55 it’s finally done.“
“Located on Sand Island Access Road; open only on Thursdays & Fridays. This is a good place if you want to customize your order - putting different cookies in one box, or if you have a large order. I recommend you call them in advance & set up a pick up. They have about 4 or 5 parking stalls in front of their store. Just be careful when you back out to leave, as you do get huge trucks barreling down the road pretty often.“
“Spanish rolls, fresh and piping hot straight buttery goodness from the back of the bakery. I've tried a few other spots, but none can compare. Prices haven't changed much over the years, and the quality has always been consistent. This is always one of my have to visit before I leave spots. Mahalo Nandings. I will always be a faithful patron.“

“Haven't been to their store front, but have been purchasing their cookies (my fav are the candy bead cookies for myself and the coconut for sending to the mainland) for years, and sometimes their crackers. Saw Alan Wong's article in Midweek about Diamond Bakery saltines as the base for great snacks and pupus from good old days. What caught my eye was not the tuna salad or Kamaboko dip but the (canned) corned beef salad! I had a package of Candy Bead cookies so I tore it open and ate a few. Yummy! I also had the saltiness (doesn't happen often - was meant to be!) in my house, and had just opened a can of corned beef to supplement leftover corned beef brisket and cabbage so I made old time canned corned beef salad! Before eating it with the cb salad, I savored a cracker solo - it was so ono !!! While the salad was good, I truly savored and enjoyed the crisp and crunch of the saltiness with just the right amount of salt even more. Mmmmm! Will do tuna salad or Kamaboko (IYKYN) dip with the saltiness next! Can't wait!“
“Me and my family go here for breakfast sometimes,and when we do,it's amazing.the service is fast even though they are packed,the food and service are good and fast.unless you are claustrophobic,this place is amazing.dont even get me started on the pie.They have a atm too.“
“Pastries in Aiea, Oahu, Hawaii... I've always wanted to visit Nagoya Bakery... it's an old-school, inconspicuous shop at the beginning of the strip mall, Waimalu Shopping Center. The adventure began when I picked up my friend from her dad's house in Manoa. She was visiting from Virginia. We've been friends since the first grade! I wanted to show her this cool store: VH07V, but they were closed for vacation... so, we ate Hawaiian food at Jackie's Diner. As we were leaving the free parking lot, I saw Nagoya Bakery and told her that I never had a chance to try their products. She said, "Let's go!" I parked in front of the bakery and we entered the cozy shop. It was afternoon, and they had sold out of the Custard tarts. Shucks. However, there were still a bunch of goodies to choose from! The prices were quite reasonable and everything looked good! My friend got a haul for her family, and I picked up a Custard Bun and ensemada... yummy! We'll be back - especially since the service was efficient and friendly! Thank you!“
“Aesthetically pleasing, clean, open layout. Reminds me of the cafes in Korea/Japan. Friendly service. When we walked in there was a long line but it moved quickly. I tried the sea salt matcha latte - ono! Tastes like a normal latte with the added taste of heavy whipping cream with salt. You should try it! Choc chip cookie has oatmeal in it. Very nice and soft. Choc chips are big. Ube pastry looks good but wasn't as much cream inside as expected. Still tastes good tho!“
“I have been getting an Iced Latte from them in a regular basis and I want to say that they have always been very friendly... the coffee is great too. They also have a lot of interesting pastries and deserts. Although I am not a sweets person, the items I have tried were all very good.“
“I took one bite of the chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies and fell in love! They're crispy lil cookies that are just so tasty that leaves you wanting more. I was getting shave ice at Matsumoto and grabbed a bag of Charmaine's cookies. My only regret is not opening them til I returned home (California.). I would've grabbed as many as I could've fit in my luggage!I definitely recommend that you try these cookies. They're absolutely delicious!!!“
“Love this place. Passing this place, the aroma is SO hard to miss! The cookies are quite delish. My go to is just the simple chocolate chip. I love both the large cookie and their minis in a cup. It's so hard to stop at just a few... I tend to eat almost the whole thing. No complaints about customer service. I recommend!“
“Amazing waffles and pancakes. The Portuguese sausage is delicious. The Loco Moco was tremendous especially the gravy. The bakery offerings are fantastic and worth visiting when you are in Honolulu. The location is located at the top of the Sam’s Club parking garage.“
“The Spanish Rolls (Food) was amazing. This is a definite go to spot if you like bakeries. The service was nice and ambiance is decent. I went there two weeks ago and will go back today/tomorrow. This is a must go spot, you won't go wrong with cheese inside the Spanish bread.“
“Where we ate most of our breakfasts and lunches during our visit. The food was alright but the limited menu did get old after a while. The pizza was good and made for leftovers the next day at lunch.Menu items are expensive but about on par for what you would pay at a resort.Don't sleep on the refillable cups! We opted for the stainless steel mugs. Well worth the upgrade in my opinion. They kept our beverages cold for long stretches of the day, even in the sun. A little tip, buy yourself a bottle of liquor and fill your cup. You have unlimited mixers at the soda machines with these cups. It will save you hundreds of dollars on cocktails!“
“With the scent of fresh baked cookies flowing through the area, you are drawn here to taste Cookie Corner delights. I stopped by here to pick up two ( I wanted more!) cookies!It's just to warm to bake at home, so I stop by here to pick up fresh baked cookies. My kids always request a cup mini cookies to go. The cup cookies are crisp, while the regular sized cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy soft on the inside. Yummy. All products were nicely organized and displayed. Bright lights show off the to go cookies items and more.“
“i LOVE lemongrass chicken here and i LOVE the pho but like they kinda like wrap it weird i think its this place idk but like sometimes the pho like gets loose and goes rampant like a raging tiger but that does not matter cause i LOVE it, thank you, Love, “
