While roaming about the Kaka'ako Farmers Market, I noticed Momi Dolce featuring a traditional…read moreBrazilian confectionery called "Brigadeiros". Momi Dolce's owner and confectioner is Michelle Serota who is from Brazil and she brings her tradition to Hawai'i. She sells her brigadeiros (pronounced "Bree-gah-day-ro") by 4-pack or 6-pack. Her featured flavors are: -Dark chocolate -Crunchy chocolate with cacao nibs -Coconut (white chocolate) -Passion fruit or lilikoi (white chocolate) -Kauai coffee -Almond All of the flavors are intense but balanced by the premium chocolate and condensed milk used in making them. I suppose one could compare them to ganache that is used in making chocolate truffles. These brigadeiros are creamy and fudge-like though it melts smoothly as you might pop them in your mouth. The good thing about Momi Dolce is that Michelle can be reached online so you don't have to wait for her appearance at the Kaka'ako Farmers Market. You can thank me later... Obrigado!

The only trouble with them is that I could easily eat a dozen of them myself in one sitting. The best way I can describe a brigadeiros is: If a chocolate truffle and fudge had a baby.

High praises considering Joyce doesn't have much of a sweet tooth. I too got to try the chocolates and wow. The quality was excellent and the flavors Randy chose were balanced. I especially liked the alcohol infused one. Just kept the white ribbon here to tie onto her laptop bag. The ribbon isn't anything extraordinary but the sentiment is. What an amazing gift. Definitely treats that make the recipient feel extremely special

Big bold robust whiskey taste in this one. My Darling Angel knows I like coffee and Earl Grey, so those were the other two truffles in this custom gift set. So smooth! So creamy! So delicious! Thank you Choco Le'a for bringing peace to the world, one chocolate at a time. Seriously, we all need this!

Great excuse to go again! There was a line, but it moved quickly. You could tell which items were popular cuz their spot was empty. However, they were quickly replaced. Everything was delicious!!!

I needed to occupy myself after I dropped hubs off for his first cataract surgery…read more After doing some retail therapy at NR I had half an hour to spare. Hubs had to fast from 6 am for his 2 pm surgery so I thought he would probably be starving and would enjoy a delectable salt and butter roll from here. At $4.50 a piece I consider this a luxury for us. I found a close stall in the parking structure. A very cheerful polite male employee took my order. I had seen two occupied tables as I walked into the shop. Both had matcha drinks. Why not? I asked the young man assisting me, what's the best matcha drink? He said his favorite was banana matcha with extra banana foam. Okay I'll try it. He repeated it to the cashier. So popular there was a wait for beverages to be prepared. Soon enough mine was ready. I think Doc would enjoy this drink. This shop is a working bakery. Many yummy pastries displayed. Menu is posted high up above to choose from. Rather tiny shop with room for customers to stand in line to order and wait for drinks. Clean, busy with a few tables and chairs outside but pretty much in direct sun.

Throw tomatoes at me or whatever. BUT!! Holey Grail blows my socks off. Delicious, impeccable, gorgeous, more adjectives!! Their donuts are cakey but soft and pillowy; not too sweet; and have flavors that taste natural from the local ingredients used. I love their Original Sin (basic vanilla) and Strawberry Fields (strawberry and matcha) but I know their entire menu is incredible (off vibes, but still). The matcha (made with vanilla syrup and mac nut milk) is also to die for!! I would also say prices are fairly affordable for the quality. I love this place so much and hope they continue to thrive so I can keep getting my favorite sweet treats.

The hot single is a classic and still my favorite. It's simple but so good, especially when it's fresh and warm. The strawberry fields and lilikoi were both really flavorful, and the chocolate crunch had the perfect texture. They still taste great even after cooling down at home, but they're definitely on another level when you eat them fresh. The service is always really good, and there's plenty of seating, which makes it easy to hang out and enjoy your donuts. Definitely a spot I keep coming back to when I'm in the area!

You're always greeted with samples at the door, usually a cookie and a chocolate sample. Their chocolate and cookies are made out of Hilo Hawaii and flown to Oahu. Locally made and always fresh. They have an assortment of treats such as macadamia nut shortbread cookies dipped in various chocolates, brownies, rocky road chocolates, macadamia nut chocolates, pineapple manju, chocolate mints and cute gift sets as well. I have a relative that needs to watch her sugar intake and they have excellent no sugar added brownies, cookies and macadamia nut chocolates. For myself, I love everything here but my favorites are the dark and milk chocolate dipped shortbread cookies and macadamia nut chocolates. These are fantastic gifts to buy if visiting the islands. i buy treats from here to bring as gifts when visiting folks outside of Hawaii and often buy them for myself to eat!

My favorite cookie shop in Hawaii!! I personally think their quality is way better than Honolulu…read moreCookie Company and am so glad there's a location in Oahu. They give out samples as you enter, and you can always ask to try other things as well. They also have a rewards program. For every $5 spent, you get a little stamp. I feel like they're pretty liberal with their stamps and round up. Once you complete the card, you get $5 off or you can opt for a cooler bag. Boxes are always very cute and they seem to have frequent collabs with other businesses.

Being this is the only place on island I know of that sells Royce Chocolates from Japan of course…read morethey get 5 stars! The guy helping me was super nice also. They put the chocolate in an insulated sleeve and even include a mini ice packet to ensure safe travels to your destination :) If you have never tried Royce Chocolate's I highly recommend splurging a little. If I recall it was around $18 for one box. These chocolates literally melt in your mouth have the smoothest flavor profile I have ever tasted. I am not really sure how to properly explain Royce chocolate and it's something you just have to eat to find out. I love the dusting of cocoa powder on them as well. My faves are the Champagne and Matcha, so far. I still haven't tried them all.

Located in Ward near the theater…read moreand Whole Foods (both where you can park at and walk over to Cino) it is a newer restaurant but has amazed me every time I've been there- and trust me, I've been there quite a lot! Everytime I visit Cino, I'm greeted by friendly hostesses, happy servers, and delicious food. The restaurant is very hip and trendy- but it can get quite loud especially on a Friday or Saturday night. I would not label this as an intimate date spot, but more of a cool date spot where you can hangout and have fun. Whenever I visit, I always have to order: - Crispy Rice: This is seriously my girlfriend and I's favorite appetizer. It comes with crispy rice topped with fresh hamachi and our favorite, caviar! It's delicious and the perfect way to start the meal off. - Charred Spanish Octopus: I'm a huge fan of octopus and this one is just perfection. Always cooked perfectly so the octopus is tender and I love how simple it is. - Romaine: LOVE this salad. It comes with an anchovy vinaigrette and I love anchovies. I would say if you're not into anchovies though probably don't order this one or order without it. - Chef Selection of Oysters: Can't go wrong. Fresh, delicious, and also a perfect way to start off your meal. - Scallops: Our favorite entree. It comes with four perfectly cooked scallops and risotto. Perfect to share as well. - Tiramisu: Who doesn't love a tiramisu, especially with coffee beans? I mean you can't. Go. Wrong. So in short, Cino has become one of my go-to restaurants that I not only recommend to many of my friends, but where I also frequently return because I literally crave their food. I can't wait to be back soon!
