Be careful, the cats like to escape the rooms when you're trying to enter/exit! Simple cafe style foods, a few chairs & tables to sit at while watching cats or eating/drinking. If you're prone to scents, I'd suggest you wear a face mask. Plenty of parking, friendly staff.

I paid $33 for 6 brownies, and that was only because they were running a buy 3, get 1 free special. One thing to note is that there's no pricing listed on most of the baked goods--only the cupcakes--so you don't really know what you're spending until checkout. Overall, great quality, just a bit pricey and could use clearer pricing.

Sweet cravings... In…read morethe midst of the holidays somehow the snackin' cravings hit differently as it seems like it's allowed for us to celebrate and be festive. I'm not one to make or bake any snacks so places like CeCe Patisserie is the place for me as they're located in Pearl Kai which is right across from Pearlridge Center and with lots of free parking the convenience is very easy and you can find them right behind Jiffy Lube. Walking in the vibe is so festive and bright with a staff who I believe is a family friend was such a delight describing just about everything in the shop and not missing a beat it was so difficult to decide and I needed quite a bit of snacks...6 to be exact and not refrigerated so it did illuminate a few which made the choices much easier for me. After much browsing it was the tub of Chex Mix as it came in Hurricane, Ranch, Tajin or Everything Bagel seasoning. Love the various flavors and I got three of Hurricane and Everything Bagel and with multiple purchase there was a little discount that's really appreciated :) There was quite a bit of baked goods many are a bit more sensitive and wished they had more of the snacks as they do make great gifts as well but there are cupcakes, banana bread, brownies and cheesecake...so many options is incredible. It seems like they have a food truck as well making this little shop a busy spot in so many ways. Thank you!

Liv was so delightful and clearly the right person for the job so I knew I was in the right place. In the meantime I ordered an iced coffee (which was delicious!!!!) and sat down and watched folks come and go. This is clearly a popular local coffee and snack shop so I will keep this place in mind since it's locally owned and operated and their decaf is processed via osmosis, not chemicals. That's a big plus.

I honestly don't understand the hype surrounding this place, the reality is completely misleading…read more I called 15 minutes ahead to place an order. The employee took it and immediately hung up on me--no name taken, no "thank you," no "goodbye." When I arrived, the parking was a mess, so I had to be dropped off. Inside, the food display looked sad, and the cashier looked completely miserable and unpresentable. While waiting patiently on the side for 15 minutes, I watched the kitchen staff preparing food. Red flag: they literally microwave their eggs instead of cooking them fresh. After 30 minutes of total waiting time, I finally went up to check on my order, only to find out the cashier hadn't even handed my ticket to the kitchen yet. She sent it back right in front of me without a single word of apology--just a blank stare. I cancelled my order on the spot. Horrible service, zero management, and low-quality food prep. Save your golden time & money and go somewhere else. Definitely not a place where I'd want my food prepared!

Plus, my keiki were so eager to try everything (even things they don't usually like) because of they liked what they saw. Service is great! Shout out to the staff member who was so kind and patient on the phone. First time customer, called while on the way to school drop off, no knowledge of the menu and she walked me through all the alls and gave BOMB recommendations based off of my likes. Ambience is roomy, clean, and welcoming. Whether you're on the go or want to eat nice and slow -- this is a great spot. The keiki have been asking to return.

Look, I'm still a huge fan of these bagels and will stand by my last review that they are my…read morefavorite on island. The problem is consistency. We basically get a half dozen bagels every weekend now and the quality is kinda all over the place. Sometimes all the bagels are super well done and dark, othertimes they're super soft and barely baked. Sometimes there's a ton of garlic and onion on the everthing bagels and other times its just sesame and poppy seeds. If they can get this consistency nailed down i'd go back to 5 stars, but as it is now, i can't honestly leave the 5 star rating as is. Side note: Gotta get there EARLY. Went to get bagels last week and they stopped selling the half dozens by 8:15. (yeah, farmers market opens at 8, but they are typically set up beforehand)
