I finally got to try their Mont Blanc and it was so yummy! It was a part of their anniversary celebration and worth every penny. Only 3 because the hubby ate before I could take a picture of the others. That's how good it was! read more

This was my first time at cake M. They're located at the 898 center on the 3rd floor. The store is clean and bright and oh so cute inside! There's a cake display with assorted desserts. Many of which was Valentine's Day theme since it was the day prior so a lot of them were decorated nicely for the occasion. They also had a beverage menu with different types of coffee. I opted for the strawberry shortcake - it was good and moist, but also had a bunch of whip cream. The roll cake was good too, but I wish there was more fruit vs whip cream in it as well. There was a variety of fruits in there - from banana, strawberry, and kiwi. The tiramisu was my least favorite of the three. They have Parking on site. I don't know how much the valet costs tho. I just parked at Walmart and ran over.. shhh! ;) there's also street parking but it's quite limited in the day time. All of these desserts were around 5-6$ each. They're quite pricy when you can find something similar at a lower cost somewhere else. The service there was friendly and very helpful as it was my first time there. She took the time to explain what they had to offer. read more

This the Number One Ichiban Oishii cake shop on Oahu. Don't argue with me. I'm charmed by their airy light cream and sincere decorations (not plastic decors but whipped cream & fruits patterns of various kinds). read more

Location: 3rd floor of 808 building across from Walmart. Cakes: Best cake shop here at Oahu! I liked everything here but especially a roll cake, short cake and cream puffs. Serves very authentic Japanese style cakes which are much less sweeter than cakes in the US and uses good ingredients. It's not a place to go if you like very sweet Parking: There is a parking garage at the 808building but I don't like the garage here. So I always parked at Mauka side of Walmart store near the 808building. read more

Their strawberry shortcake is my go-to for celebrations that require cake (the best kind!). Not everyone is a fan of chocolate, so this seems to be a good choice if you don't know what kind of cake will please a crowd. The frosting is so light and fluffy, and the flavor is delicately fruity, with hints of vanilla and strawberry. The ladies are so nice too! Definitely recommend. read more

Lovely looking cakes to be had at cakeM. I picked up a variety of cakes for my family around Christmas time. The cakes were solid, but I wasn't too wowed by the flavors. I ended up going with the roll cake and the strawberry shortcake which were both very similar aside from what fruits went into them. I wish the cakes had a bit more fruit flavor to them, but if you're after a more natural taste, these will probably hit the spot. I do want to come back and try more of their stuff. read more

Placed an online order to pick up a strawberry shortcake birthday here. Shop is on the 3rd floor of 808 plaza, store is bright, clean, with a display of cute French style pastries and cakes. Staff was friendly and box up the cake quickly with a instruction sheet about refrigeration. Cake had great flavor - light with fresh cream and fruits, just the right amount of sweetness. Texture is denser than the strawberry shortcake from La Palme D'or Patisserie. Cake is beautifully decorated. Will come back and try their other pastries. read more

Japanese style cakes here are the best! Not too sweet, yet very delicious. We also ordered custom cake from here and it was the best we ever had in Hawaii. It's very hard to find a really good custom cake in Hawaii. All the other places we ordered tend to lack in flavor or the design is just blah. Cake M does it so well. The designs and the quality of the cake itself is not comparable. Highly recommended to any cake lovers! read more

Cake M is my go to spot for birthday cakes. Megumi's cakes are Japanese style so it's a lot lighter and not super sweet like your traditional birthday cake. She makes the best strawberry shortcake in my opinion. La Palme D'or comes pretty close. She makes custom cakes and is very detailed in her work. It's a little pricey but to me it's worth it. I've never been disappointed! read more

Officially my favorite cake shop! As much as other French/Korean/Taiwanese cake places are often a great option, I've just been missing some good quality Japanese cake. Definitely on the pricy side but I loved all of the cakes we tried: strawberry short cake, fruit tart and chocolate. I wish it were open on a Sunday so we can grab fresh cakes for Sunday, but at least I found this gem! read more

It was sooooo good I couldn't speak. The light creams, the heavy creams, the fluffy sponge cakes the dense chocolate caked, the fresh fruit. The tarts. Damn, all of it was wonderful. And literally I started calling "mango" "guava" and my tongue just started dancing on my lips. read more

Excellent cappuccino, yummy chamomile tea and a delightful strawberry cream cake to share with my niece. Only drawback was the items blocking most of the inside seating. Service was very nice and helpful. We'll be back!!! read more

Their strawberry shortcake is the best! The whipped cream is soft and silky but not too sweet. You won't feel guilty eating in CakeM. I had chocolate cake as well as tiramisu but the real winner is the strawberry shortcake! Their tiramisu has a good balance of coffee, rum and mascarpone. The chocolate cake is a good balance of chocolate ganache on too with chocolate whipped cream abd soft chocolate sponge cake! It's worth the travel to go here! read more

My wife and I have been wanting to check this cake shop since they first opened considering that we live close by. It's a tough location as it's on the back side corner of Walmart on Sheridan St on the 3rd floor. You would not know it was there unless you lived in the neighborhood as signs are not as visible with it's location. Upon walking in, there was the cashier and I can see the patissier working in the back. Quaint and small with pastel blues and whites giving an island feel to the shop. A small selection of cakes in their with almond croissants, scones, and muffins on the counter. I had the roll cake and my wife had the chocolate cake. The roll cake was typical of Japanese style roll cakes with it being light sweet and stuffed with fresh fruits. The chocolate cake was average with your typical ganache filling and icing. In spite of the island feel from the decor, there was no warmth to this shop upon entering from the cashier/server. There was no greeting upon entering, no "hello, how are you or いらっしゃいませ" not even a smile. No recommendations. Minimal conversation, if anything, and we we're the only two in the shop. Considering that this is a Japanese owned establishment and that the cashier/server was Japanese, I'd expect a lot more coming from this shop. Service is the key to these small shops and it's what makes people come back, should the service be on point. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll find my way back here anytime soon. read more

The cake here is perfect! The taste is catered more towards the Asian palettes so their cakes and tarts are not super sweet, they're just the right amount of sweetness. Cake M has a nice and chill ambiance. It's a great place to just sit and chat with friends while eating delicious cakes. read more

Rare Japanese style cake and coffee shop. This place has got my wife's approval for its strawberry shortcake ($6)! That's not easy. Small and casual space has a long table and a small counter to enjoy the cake right there. Very bright by the big window. Cappuccino (large $4.75) can come with cinnamon powder upon request. If you like Kulu Kulu cakes you'll love this cake shop. read more

Bought a fruit tart for a birthday event. It was so delicious and the fruit was very fresh. I also love their shop aesthetic

street parking isn't easy, fortunately lucked out & got one across the street. no directory, shop is on the top flr for those who don't know. like that they ask you to use sanitizer upon entering. shop is clean & woman was very friendly & patient as it was my 1st time. i'm assuming, due to covid, showcase was a bit bare, but they had everything but mango desserts. not the season, makes sense. family enjoyed everything, lemon tart, tiramisu, cheesecake & strawberry shortcake. all fresh & delicious. price is a bit steep for the size of the dessert, but overall would return due to service & quality. get what you pay for. read more

This place is right behind where I work and I used Yelp to find their reviews and it was totally positive. I ordered a chocolate cake for my wife's birthday. The cake was simple and perfect (the way my wife likes it). The cake was soft and tasty. We kept it in our fridge for 3 days before we could finish it and it was moist still the end. Will definitely recommend this place. read more

I was on a lunch date getting delicious food next door at sushi murayama when I convinced my girlfriend to try desert over at cakeM. We had coffees and cheesecake.

Going here made us feel like we were on vacation. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed the items yesterday from CakeM. Flavor wise it was amazing, not many places glaze their cakes, layered from glaze to ganache, to chocolate cake and to chocolate cream/Mousse. The matcha eclair was explosively good! There aren't many good eclairs here so it definitely took me by surprise. It has a firm/not soft soggy choux like from grocery stirs dipped in like a matcha chocolate coating, filled with matcha cream.. definitely a winner in my book. Strawberry shortcake definitely better than any other strawberry cake it's airy and lightness of it was like a cloud. And now the cheesecake was amazing with that crust made all the difference, that nutty texture was great with that creaminess of the cheesecake! I'll definitely return again. It's definitely worth checking out! read more

I was distracted by a construction underway on my short journey to a sushi place next door. I was curious of what it would become. Little did I know, a new cake shop would be opening on the third floor of the 808 Center immediately next to Sushi Murayama. 2 months past their official and current soft opening, a beautiful cake shop is in place and is officially opened to the public. Megumi is the owner of this sweet shop and also designed every detail in the interior. As I stepped into the glass door, a chalk board to my left handwritten in chalk read Christmas cakes available for booking and custom orders. I love the touches of seasonal decors when walking in. An open counter seats 4 people next to the point of sale and a bigger table for 4. A simple yet elegantly decorated 5 foot Christmas tree is on the corner with pretty ornaments to accent the room. This brings a nice feel of the season. To the back wall are permanent shelves with pretty decors which changes as the season's does too. For the meantime, I was able to appreciate the miniature golden Christmas tree along with these lovely nutcrackers. As I continue to spin leftward, I perused their current available cakes and pastries on display. Not a whole lot in store yet at the time I went but I did order two sweet delectables to enjoy and sample. Yes, they do take credit cards (thank you!)! First, I had to try their cream puffs. The cream on the inside is fully filled, unlike the others I've had. The dough was right to my liking and same with the cream from within. The strawberry shortcake was indeed delicious. The strawberry on top was sweet and appetizing along with the cream and fluffy cake with chunks of strawberry cubes in the mesh. The freshness is fantastic and are made with lots of love. Can't stay long? Sure! They'll pack your sweets in a nice box. As I sat there with my curiosity on my shoulders, Megumi explained that since they're currently on their soft opening, the espresso machine is in order and will be available soon for all the coffee enthusiasts. For now they offer Kusmi Tea which some are black, green, caffeine free, detox, jasmine, some camomille, earl grey, English breakfast etc. In the meantime, they're mainly specializing in wedding cakes and Christmas bookings. So get your orders in for your company parties, weddings and other parties. February 2017 will be the big month for their menus to be unveiled with plans for additional items on their menu like quiche, scones, etc. I'm very much looking forward to this surprise. The owner and her employee were both kind enough to sit and talk as I know they have many orders to attend to. Please see photos for Christmas cake orders. Their website (based on when this review was written) was still under construction. Parking is available via valet at the 808 Center or street parking. read more

I would say this is a 4.5 Star review? But since this is a new establishment, do want it to survive and strive. Very cute small dessert place. Ingredients and very fresh, does not taste overly sugary as other cake shops. The cream they use is very different, I would think it's a fresh cream they made themselves instead of store bought. Selection is very limited however, but I'd say give it a go if you're in the area. read more
