I was next door waiting for my lunch when my husband pointed this place out. We were curious about…read morethe cupcakes and noticed the good reviews on Yelp so we decided to try some of the cupcakes. Initially, the door was locked, but the owner Tara unlocked the door and asked if I was picking up an order. I said no, we were just looking around and wanted to see what cupcakes they had. Tara was super friendly and even though she was busy filling orders, she took the time to tell me what cupcakes she had available. I was initially going to get 4 cupcakes: 1 lemon, 2 strawberry, and 1 red velvet. However, after looking at her menu online and talking to her, I ended up getting a dozen cupcakes: 4 banana peanut butter cupcakes with honey drizzle, 3 Chocolate cupcake with Oreo frosting topped with an Oreo cookie, 1 chocolate cupcake with a peanut butter frosting, 2 Strawberry cupcake with buttercream frosting and strawberry drizzle, 1 red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting, and 1 white cupcake with lemon buttercream and lemon sauce drizzle. The cupcakes were super moist and they paired well with the frostings. The frostings were not overly sweet, which I really appreciated, and I could definitely taste the flavoring of the frosting. The peanut butter was my favorite and it paired well with the chocolate cupcake. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other flavors, or will request a specialty cupcake in the near future.

I heart We Heart Cake…read more If you're looking for bakery treats that aren't too sweet and come with great customer service, this is it. I've visited twice and am already a fan of the daifuku (especially the peanut butter one) and cupcakes. I also love the story behind the business. The owner is a mom who taught herself to bake from YouTube videos. Friends and family started asking her to bake for them, and eventually it became a business. I love businesses that start so organically. You can tell she cares about the quality of what comes out of her shop. Go treat yourself! (Be sure to come early if you want daifuku.)

This is a bakery so you can just take a pastry to go or you can wait to sit down at the counter and order food to eat there. I'd definitely recommend doing both. If you go during off times you'll have a better chance of not needing to wait for a seat. Come here for the pancakes!!

I ordered a scone, guava teacake, coffee cake and a cinnamon roll. All were delicious! I ate them over several days and it didn't dry up or taste old. I recommend heating them up for 20-30 seconds in the microwave. It's so hard to find a good bakery that caters to gluten free and dairy free customers. I highly recommend this bakery. The young lady behind the counter was so nice, the baked goods were delicious and I can't believe it was all gluten free and dairy free! Take note that they are not open every day. I went on a Friday and they close at 2 PM and I got there at 1:30. But I can't say enough about the good service and the quality of the baked goods. I will be back!

Have been wanting to yry them when they were previously located on Lusitana St (extension to Alakea). Now that they are at the beginning of Smith Street, oceanside of Smith and King, its an even more convenient stop. Tried the snickerdoodle cookie and the everything but the gluten bagel. And while the tastes and textures were not to my liking, the fact that they are gluten free is a huge plus. I have enjoyed their made to order cakes before. Would definitely return for that as well as try some of their other offerings.

It was so almond flavored and was not dry. I craved another one so I went back a few months later when I was in the area. I bought one (since they are very expensive) and excitedly took it home to try. Unfortunately it was not like I remembered: it was dry and not very almond-y. Maybe they just had an off day. Parking is also tough you have to go to the lot and pay. Hopefully if I go again I will try something else that is good. The butter mochi, sandwiches and bread pudding looked good but also very expensive. Pass.
