    Their iced teas are so good :) this is strawberry-lilikoi iced tea
    Kira K.

    Need a quick bite to eat? Craving a smoothie? Or iced tea? Just want a made-to-go lunch? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you've come to the right place. Tucked inside on the ground floor of the topa towers, this small cafe offers its customers a variety of choices. I'm lucky enough to work right upstairs, and I often find myself coming here when I can't decide what to eat, BREAKFAST: they serve bagels from "lox of bagels" and even sell lox and cream cheese bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and premade breakfast such as fried rice and eggs. They also sell pastries, coffees, smoothies, boiled eggs, yogurt parfaits, and spam musubi. LUNCH: their "aloha" breads are delicious. It's a soft bread similar to focaccia and stuffed with different flavors. My favorite is their spinach and cheese - plain, yet simple. Their bread also has a slight sweetness and it's an indulgent treat to eat warmed up. They also offer things like chicken salad or tuna salad sandwiches, some salad choices, soups that rotate depending on the day, and prepackaged meals for around $8-$10 (ie: penne pasta, kalua pig & rice, shoyu chicken and rice, Japanese curry.. it's whatever they choose to sell on that day) COFFEE: I have only had their coffee a couple times but it was pretty good, nothing too spectacular though lol ICED TEAS: my favorite! I find myself coming here strictly for their iced teas a couple times a week. They have flavors like: strawberry, mango, lilikoi, lychee, yuzu, and I think peach. My favorite is mixing it, so I often get a strawberry-lilikoi iced tea :) yumm! So refreshing! Yuzu and lychee are also my rotating favorites. All of these flavors are available in lemonades as well! SMOOTHIES: also delicious! They even offer options like whey, chia seeds, (I forget what other options) in your smoothies as well So, as you can see, this place offers a variety of options and refreshing drinks! My only complaint is it's a little pricey (the drinks and even the bagels), but for the convenience, it's not too bad.

    Aloha Bakehouse & Cafe is located inside Topa building in downtown on the first floor. It's a cute coffee shop with variety of food like sandwiches and bake goods. So far I got to try their house coffee and iced mocha. I think their coffee is flavorful and smooth. The price is pretty close to what Starbucks charges. If you're in the mood for different brand of coffee, give this place a try.

    This coffee spot is tucked inside the Topa Financial Center near the Subway. The cafe did a name change in 2019, formerly Cafenity. I love the caramal macchiato so I usually go for that and today decided to get a bagel too which are actually made by Lox of Bagels. Cafe staff is always friendly and drinks are served up quickly. They also offer a rewards program for customers.

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.

    This place is definitely a tourist favorite, so expect a line pretty much any time you visit…read more Thankfully, the process is well organized. You wait in line, place your order at the register, step outside, and wait for your name to be called. Even with the constant crowds, I was impressed by how efficiently they operated. They have multiple registers open to take orders, so the line moves much faster than it looks. The pickup process was just as smooth, and I didn't feel like I was waiting very long. As for the food, everything we tried was delicious. It's one of those places where you really can't go wrong with the menu. The shop itself is on the smaller side, so it can feel a bit cramped while you're ordering. Fortunately, most people grab their food and go, which keeps things moving. Overall, despite the popularity and long lines, the efficient service and consistently good food make it well worth the wait. Pro tip: make sure to eat it as soon as you get it because that's when the Malasadas are the best!

Around a 15-20min wait after ordering, they taste good. It's what'd you'd expect: a donut with filling.

There's always a line, and with all the hype on IG, we finally decided to give it a try and brave the wait. We ordered the sesame latte, drip coffee, iced coffee, and hibiscus tea. TBH... it was just okayyy. Everything was good, but I'm not sure it was good enough that I'd personally want to wait in that long of a line for it. I got the sesame latte and, honestly, it was a little meh. I was expecting more of that sesame flavor, but I didn't really taste it. Others in our group felt the coffee was a little sour for their liking. That said, it could just be our personal coffee preferences/taste buds. There's clearly a reason why there's always a line, so I'm sure plenty of people love it -- it just might not be for everyone. If you're already in the area and don't mind waiting, definitely give it a try and see for yourself! Also, they have an online ordering option, which could be a good way to save some time if you don't want to stand in the line.

Since it was their anniversary on Sunday, also got their celebratory funfetti cupcake which also like their baked goods did not disappoint. The croissant base of many of their pastries is flaky. When fresh it crunches with every bite that you take. This time around we had the cinnamon roll, mango danish which had a chocolate mochi filling, and their char siu bun. It's such a neat take to have char siu in a croissant. We are used to having it in the doughy bao bread but in a croissant, savory with a crunchy outside tastes so much better. I love sweet but this one wasn't overly sweet, who would have thought that mango and chocolate pair so well together. It's the summer months, fresh mango on pastries. It was the perfect ripeness. For the cinnamon roll, you honestly cannot forget get their cinnamon roll...It's flaky and again the frosting is not overly sweet. Can't wait to get another box of their pastries again soon.

I have been to several Malasada places in Hawaii but | love…read morethere's the best for the following reasons: 1. the size of the malasadas: some restaurants tend to make their Malasadas smaller and when places do this it ruins the overall texture and quality of it. The bigger the malasadas size the more airy and fluffy and more bread layers that will be inside. 2. their malasadas always taste fresh and the same quality each time. 3. their malasadas don't feel oily or heavy at all Overall I would highly recommend this place for their Malasadas! I'm so happy to have found them. I can back multiple times on my trip. They also have other desserts too that I have yet to try. They have ice cream, cakes, and other desserts Also tip: if you are ordering a malasada also order a coffee or a matcha drink to go with it. The cinnamon sugar from the malasada just matches so perfectly with a drink this restaurant is also a nice place for walking! There's lot of stores and restaurants to walk around! I'm trying to remember but I think there was a book off that was not too far from here! If you either drive or maybe walk. Service: staff was super helpful and friendly while I was there. I was having an issue with my online order because my phone was being glitchy and they were so nice in helping :) Also wanted to note their branding is so cute!! They even sell merch items too

However, there are many alternative malasada purveyors throughout Honolulu, so I depended on local vloggers to find the best ones. This one popped up often on YouTube, and as luck would have it, we were dining at The Pig & The Lady on the next block. How calorifically convenient. We took the opportunity to stop by for a pre-dinner snack since they closed at 6PM. It's a cute shop with multiple sweets including quite a selection of housemade ice cream and delectable mouthfuls called Cake Bombs (Photo 10). We decided we would be good and ordered one unfilled Malasada each. Dusted with various sugar flavors, they were just $2.65 a piece. I went for the Coffee, while Jamie chose the daily special, Cinnamon (Photo 6). They were soft and tasty, quite comparable to Leonard's albeit a tad smaller. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing since we had dinner ahead of us. However, we let temptation get the best of us and shared a $5.50 slice of the Ube Haupia Mac Nut Bar, a yummy combination of sweet potato and ube topped with haupia (coconut milk pudding) on a macadamia nut crust (Photo 9). Truth be told, it stole the show from the malasadas. FOOD - 4 stars... the malasadas were good, but that ube dessert was next level AMBIANCE - 4 stars...really a takeout operation with a lot of temptations SERVICE - 4 stars...very calm and orderly TOTAL - 4 stars...yet another spot for sweet Hawaiian decadence RELATED - Exploring Hawaii?
