    Lemon Bars. My favorite
    Kaipo H.

    If I lived closer I'd be here way too often. What a cute little spot to enjoy a sweet snack. 808 Sweet Shack is the perfect place to do just that. Cute inviting Island atmosphere with perfectly baked sweet treats. I've stopped by 3 times so far and they have yet to disappoint me. I have tried a few of their selections and my favorites are the Lilikoi Cheesecake, Lemon and Butter Bars. If you are a fan of Lilikoi Cheesecake you need to try 808 Sweet Shacks version. Different than most that I have tried in a good way. The ratio of Cheesecake to graham cracker crust is perfect and Lilikoi was not too sweet or tart. I also love that the Lilikoi wasn't just a glaze added after. Consistency more of a gelatin. My favorite by far is the Lemon Bars. So so good. Tart lemon filling with the perfect I'm going to guess Shortbread crust with a little sprinkle of confectioners sugar to cut the tartness. Love it. Long story short, if you're in Hilo give this place a try. Fresh baked goodies made with the freshest local ingredients at a good price. Down town on Hilo Bay in the old S Hata building right past Cafe Pesto. I'm glad I did.

    Owner Amy, always comes through with exactly what I'm hoping for. The flavors, creativity and overall delivery of all of the cakes, pies and cookies I've ordered from her are 5 star! Mahalo for all you do 808 Sweet Shack!

    Excellent German Chocolate Cake also they were able to get this custom cake for me with only a little over a day's notice. Major props.

    Forgot the name of these sweet things, but one is chocolate and the other had a special, in-season lychee topping-filling!

    This is a great find on the waterfront in Hilo. It's in the same building as the popular Cafe Pesto restaurant, but up one flight of stairs. Their offerings can change daily, but include freshly baked cookies, cupcakes and other baked sweets, along with delicious Ka'u coffee from elsewhere on the Big Island. There's a comfy seating area and wonderful air conditioning, for those days when the trade winds abandon Hilo. The owner, Amy, is dedicated to her craft and friendly. Hilo has many of these kinds of hidden spots. I hope to go back here and sample more of Amy's offerings.

    This place is a must stop if you are in Hilo! I will usually pick up their pre-packaged sets from…read moreKTA also but when I want their fruit mochi, I order ahead and pick up at their location. The strawberry mochi is always a favorite but we love the nectarine, pear, and melon ones too. Whatever is in season, I recommend getting! It is worth the price! Order ahead if you can, then you won't have to stand in line. And I always eat these up so fast that I forget to take photos!!

    Don't do what I (tried to) do. They do not take same day orders…read more In Hilo for the day, and my awesome BIL agreed to take me to 2LK to get some mochi. Hubs has a sweet tooth, and I like the sweet mochi myself. The line to place my order was completely empty! All the folks standing around were waiting for their orders. I stepped in the tiny storefront and placed my custom order and then grabbed a tray of buttermochi that was ready to go. After paying, I asked how long was the wait time and the cashier said 20-30 minutes. Instead of standing around, I went back to the car and hung out with BIL and watched for the people who were before me to get their orders and leave. I waited outside for about 5 minutes before they called my name and my mochi order was ready to go. There were some tourists who came by who didn't want to wait for 30 minutes and were ready to turn around and leave, but I told them there were ready made packages that they could grab and go, the rest of us were waiting on custom orders. They were really happy to hear that and they bought their mochi and headed out. I will definitely call ahead next time I go to Hilo, the wait is small kine humbug, but the mochi is oh so ono! (translated: the wait is an inconvenience, but the mochi is very delicious).

    Puna Chocolate Company is one of my favorite local chocolate artisan shops, conveniently located in…read moreDowntown Hilo. Since my time away, they have beautifully renovated the interior to have a sit-down booth area. I love the abundance of nene decor honoring our state bird, along with high quality chocolates made in Hawaii. The store clerk was very knowledgeable and described how each cultivars of chocolate differ in their taste profiles. We had the horchata 50% milk chocolate bar, and I don't have a picture because we devoured it in one sitting! Overall, Puna Chocolate Co. is an elegant, delightful, and elevated experience that rivals big names like Big Island Candies and Dandelion Chocolates in San Francisco. Highly recommend in stopping by!

    I stopped by Puna Chocolate Company for an afternoon coffee and ordered an espresso. It wasn't…read moreterribly busy in the store so my drink was prepared in minutes. The espresso was strong, not overwhelmingly bitter, and had a good consistency to it. While sitting at the bar, I noticed that they had a Day Drink menu with a bunch of coffee and chocolate cocktails, including an espresso martini and a cacao old fashioned. For $14 and $13 respectively, these seemed like very reasonable prices. Definitely something I'll check out on my next visit. On the right side of the store is a gift shop, while the left side has a bunch of seating for patrons. I noticed there were a few people here with their laptops out, so I can only assume it's also a good place to work as well. The store seemed pretty quiet, street parking outside was easy, and the staff I interacted with here was friendly. Puna Chocolate Company is a good rest spot to stop by to escape from the busyness of Downtown Hilo.
