    This review is for the mixed fruit white cake. I grew up with Ruby Bakery cakes and Elvin's Bakery just brought me back to my elementary school days. Birthday cakes were a rare treat back in the days and it was always a mixed fruits white cake. Elvin's cake was delicious and light. If you're looking for a light and fluffy mixed fruit white cake, go to Elvin's Bakery.

    Stopped here for a quick dessert on the way back to North Shore. I got a cold slice of the Mango Mousse cake (picture included) and boy was I impressed. The cake is light, airy and fluffy and the mango was exquisite. Definitely recommend!

    I love checking out bakeries, Elvin's is a good one while you're in the Dillingham area. Plenty of strip mall parking available. It's shop with a wide variety of cakes, pasties and goodies. This time I bought 3 different flavors of cakes. Tiramisu (flavorful), mango (not too sweet and light), and strawberry (light and everyone's favorite). There was just too many goodies to choose from that I will have to come back. Staff were super friendly.

    Strawberry shortcake

    Strawberry shortcake was delicious. I would recommend this cake any day. Cake was not too sweet.

    Mooncake
    Rod U.

    中秋节快乐 Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Mooncake time! Sticking to the traditional, these are some great mooncakes. Thin skin surrounding a firm but silky smooth lotus paste. Within, well seasoned, perfectly cooked salted egg yolks, not at all powdery. Lots of other filling options though no fruit filled snow skin and very sadly no teochew mooncakes, IMHO the absolute best made with layers of crisp dough surrounding traditional fillings, served ward. Sigh. Yes, we all know they are a solid Chinese bakery and we all know they make solid American style cakes but mooncakes make them special.. Reasonable prices. $10 / mooncake. Note: Despite the heavy road work on Dillingham due to the rail, access to the strip mall is relatively easy. Use a nav app ie Waze for the fastest construction bypass. Solid and a mandatory stop to celebrate the next Mid-Autumn Festival.

    Cream cheese Danish

    I've been to Elvin's a few times before. After having lunch at Oshimas Ramen a few doors away,my wife went to get us some dessert. I have high praise for their Stawberry cake. Light fluffy and delicious. Today I ate their cream cheese Danish. It was a disappointment. Thr breading was nice and fluffy, but the cream cream cheese filling was almost non existing. See my pictures. I hope this was a fluke.

    Elvin started working at Panya Bakery in 1997 where he gained experience in baking breads and pastries, as well as cake decorating, with some of the best local bakers. Friends encouraged him to open his own bakery, so husband and wife bakers Elvin and Vivian Lau opened Elvin's Bakery in the Kapalama Shopping Center in Oct. 2013 and are still enjoying it! They work about 12 to 14 hours per day to bake 400+ pastries and 50 cakes per day that are sold on a wholesale and retail basis. Elvin's Bakery signature item is their strawberry shortcake that is a light sponge layered cake with fresh strawberries and a whipped cream icing made from scratch. The cake is light, fluffy, and creamy that melts in your mouth. This local, family-owned Hong-Kong style bakery offers the following: * Cakes: strawberry shortcake, mango mousse, red velvet, tiramisu, chocolate dream, mango, chestnut, lychee, lilikoi, Chantilly, mixed fruit, coffee, matcha azuki bean, Japanese cheesecake. * Pastries: ham & cheese croissant, danishes, an pan, coconut cream, cream cheese, ensaymada, pineapple, raisin stick, donuts, rolls, scones, banana bread. * Mooncakes: mini pig, ham, egg yolk, mixed nut, ham, mung bean paste, squash. * Bread/rolls: cinnamon toast, lavosh, muffins, crown bread, Sapporo sweet bread, raisin, white. * Cookies: almond bar, choc chip, mac nut, Russian tea, lemon bar, brownie, furikake lavosh. * Wedding cakes. * Drinks: coffee (Americano, expresso, latte, cappuccino, mocha, Vietnamese); hot chocolate; iced coffee; soda. They use a state-of-the-art expresso/coffee machine that grinds fresh made-to-order coffee. All cakes can be custom-decorated with attention to detail. For our 50th wedding anniversary celebration at Jade Dynasty, my daughter called from Maui and ordered a half sheet strawberry shortcake that was to be served to guests that were present. She was pleased with the results. The white frosting and shell borders highlighted the freshly glazed whole strawberries, fresh blueberries, and milk and white chocolate straws bordering the cake. An authentic Precious Moments porcelain figurine holding a note of God's blessings of 50 years of togetherness adorned the middle of the cake and surprisingly, was not too heavy for the cake. A white chocolate square with a writing on it with anniversary congratulations with our names was also placed as a cake topper. We were impressed with the pretty decorations and the height of the cake. Everyone loved the taste of the cake with fresh fruits and its creamy fluffiness! Outstanding! Thanks also to Jade Dynasty Restaurant in allowing the cake to be refrigerated until we were ready for it and having staff to assist in serving it! Sliced cakes are available for purchase in single-serving sizes. Beautiful custom-made small boxes are used for these cake slices when purchased. Elvin's Bakery also makes its own mooncakes for the annual Chinese Autumn Festival. They make regular=sized and mini mooncakes, as well as piggy-shaped ones. Fillings include: squash, coconut, lotus paste, or red bean paste with egg yolk, mixed nut and ham, and more. If purchasing a set of 4 mooncakes, a pretty designed, hard-cover box is used with a matching red/yellow handle bag that is excellent for gift giving. Staff are family members who are friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, and willing to accommodate. My daughter noted that she did not have any problems in ordering the cake for the anniversary party. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The small interior houses a couple of display cases that show case available decorated cakes and cake slices. Along the perimeter of its walls are shelves of help-yourself pastries, breads, rolls, and cookies.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hours of operation are Tues to Sat 8a to 5p, Sun 8a to 4p, Mon closed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The entrance fronting the shopping complex is presently closed due to ongoing rail construction, so you will need to use the back entrance accessible via another street.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Free parking is available in the shopping complex that is shared with other businesses. It is good to have choices in bakeries and knowing that Elvin's Bakery has its signature strawberry shortcake that is a crowd pleaser! Plus, with its variety of pastries and custom-made mooncakes, there is something for everyone! Support local!

    My friend recommended Elvin's bakery to me when I was looking for a Chinese bakery. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a family run business so it looks nice, not fancy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Even though we didn't buy any other bake goods, they look nice and fresh. We bought the mango, lychee and passion fruit mousse cakes. (Sorry the picture only shown the lychee and passion fruit). They are all very delicious, not too sweet. We definitely will go back for more cakes and probably will try other baked goods.

    Strawberry shortcake
    Jess W.

    I haven't actually been here so I can't speak to customer service, location, etc. I have, however, had the strawberry shortcake on three occasions. The cake is delicious. Fresh strawberries and fruit with a light frosting that isn't too sweet. Yum. Perfect Asian style cake. One time, I ordered the cake but had someone else pick up. The service over the phone was good. I was about to quickly order the cake and pay over the phone. I'd definitely recommend for a yummy Asian style cake.

    Mango Mousse Cake
    Yvonne C.

    Elvin's Bakery is a HK style bakery which located at Kapalama Shopping Center. There're a lot of free parking. It's a small bakery but there're a lot of choices to pick. I order all of my birthday cakes at Elvin's. The best one I believe is the Mango Mousse cake. They used all the fresh ingredients and the cake wasn't too sweet. I tried all of their sliced cakes and all tasted very good and moist. Very friendly owner and great service. Don't miss this hidden germ on Dillingham Street.

    Dylan Keith W.

    Elvin's is basically my office's go-to cake shop for quick cakes to grab for work birthdays. The staff are friendly and the cakes taste great. Very fast service and they'll write a custom frosting note on your cake if you want. Usually we get the strawberry shortcake but we've also had the red velvet and that cake is super delicious too. The cakes are also presented very well and I don't think anyone would be disappointed receiving one.

    Mango cake
    Kathy D.

    We have been coming to Elvin's for over 15 years and truly has been a staple in our family events from birthdays, graduations, Mother's Day and so many other events! They are extremely consistent with their products, you will never be disappointed. They are punctual and will always have your correct product ready at the specified time. The cakes are light, airy and not too sweet (the ultimate Asian compliment!) Our family favorites include the mixed fruit cake, mango cake and strawberry shortcake. Hope to continue getting Elvin desserts for many years to come!

    Mark C.

    Awesome service and beautiful ono cakes Even allowed after hours pick up to be able to have the freshest cake.

    Strawberry cake!

    Do they have Japanese cheesecake?

    Yes, they do.

    How many days In advance should we make cake orders? My husbands birthday is this Saturday & I've just been trying to find a good cake place & finally came across this one. Could I call tomorrow & pick it up on Saturday?

    We typically recommend 2 days in advance but we try to accommodate if there’s a rush! Feel free to call to check in!

I'd been curious about trying their matcha offerings, so I was excited. We came on a holiday morning, and there wasn't anyone inside. The cafe is cute and vibey!

I ordered at the register, and she made my drink immediately. I was intrigued by their Haupia Matcha Latte. I love all things Haupia, so it seemed like the perfect match. I got the Haupia Matcha Latte with Oat Milk, and it was superb. I loved how creamy it was, how the sweetness of the haupia shone, but the earthiness of the matcha was still there. I'd definitely recommend this drink and am curious about their others. Hello Again is a nice cafe addition to Chinatown.

It was honestly one of the best matchas I've ever had in HI. Their pricing isn't too bad but not the cheapest. We got their lilikoi matcha (Hapa Honey Matcha), which was my first time trying it, and it was really good! It's definitely on the sweeter side, though, so just a heads-up if you don't like sweet drinks. For me, it was the perfect amount of sweetness because it wasn't overly sweet. I also loved that they do a little writing design on top of the drink using honey. I thought that was such a cute and unique touch! We also tried the Matcha Manako because it has li hing mango syrup, which we had never seen before. This one was less sweet but still really delicious! My friend also got their tonic drink, but unfortunately, we weren't really fans of it. The flavors didn't mix well together for us, so I wouldn't get that one again. I also like that they sell their own syrups that you can use to make your own drinks at home. I ended up buying their honey lilikoi syrup to bring home because I liked the drink so much. The syrup itself isn't very sweet. I've used it multiple times at home to make my own matcha, and it's been great! They have plenty of indoor seating, and it's not too loud, so I'd say it's a nice spot to hang out or get some work done. The staff is also very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I also loved that they sell bouquets there, and they were all so pretty! I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!

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.

They offer a variety of pastries, some of Asian orientation like red bean buns, char siu bao, and more standard offerings like doughnuts, bread, and rolls. They offer some interesting savory pastries, including an onion roll, which is a light roll with pieces of onion and mayonnaise, some with hot dog or sausage incorporated into the roll, and some strange (to me) rolls with corn and tuna. They sometimes offer blueberry cream cheese scones ... These are delicious, but I haven't seen them offered in a while. My favorites include the onion roll and the chicken curry doughnut.

    Incredible Coffee spot!…read more Specializing in drip coffee with bold flavors. The staff were super friendly and we even got to spend a few minutes with the owner! A great spot to grab a quick drink or sit down and get some work done. relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. If you're ever in chinatown stop by this spot!

    drip studio got the drip! haha i am so funny. sorry. anyway i walked in dripped out and walked out…read moredigesting uhhh very potent food laxatives. oahu's coffee scene for me is still a bit lacking, but drip studio has a lot of potential. location - near chinatown, hpu...easy to find since its all blue. everything is blue. giving percy jackson. service - baristas are super super friendly and nice! they are so fun to talk to. if you need to touch some grass just start a convo. the drinks - as i said were a bit lackluster. they rotate thru different beans and roasters apparently. i guess they were still dialing in when i ordered? i dunno cause unfortunately the coffee did not make me feel like a super powerful demigod who could battle a greek god and pummel his sorry butt. cortado was alright. couldn't taste any notes except for maybe some fruit - it was quite acidic. milk was steamed well but a bit bubbly and i wonder if that's cause the acid in the shot curdled the milk. matcha was pretty good! handwhisked to order HOORAY!!! too sweet with vanilla syrup added so get it non sweetened. they also have food, hojicha, chai etc. overall not bad but may need to dial in better. service needs NO improvement they are all expert extroverts

    This is for my catering experience with Tea at 1024…read more For Galentines, me and my girlfriends decided to take the experience to us. The ordering process was easy thanks to their amazing staff. Their guidance from online ordering to communication over the phone and text, they made our event successful and memorable. There was 5 of us , with a moderate appetite. So, We went with two orders of the "Catering - Sandwiches TO GO" and one order of the "Catering - Scones TO GO". Then our choice of their teas: 1oz Sakura Cherry Rose and 1oz of their Cookies and Cream, which is great with milk and sugar btw. 1oz =at least 12 pours of the tea. If you want 2oz =24 pours of tea. The sandwiches were also delicious, a cute tiny bite of flavor. Which to this day I wish I ordered more since I'm more of a savory girlie. You can choose the sandwiches from their catering or seasonal menu and it comes in 4 pieces. We ordered: Sandwich flavors 24 pieces 1 Sweet egg salad (4) 1 Smoked Salmon with Dill Creme (4) 1 Nutella & Strawberry (4) 1 roasted veggies & hummus (4) 1 Crab & Cheese (4) 1 Cucumber & Avocado (4) My personal Favorites were the Smoked Salmon with Dill Crème and Roasted veggies & Hummus. The scones only available flavors were vanilla bean & earl grey and it also comes with potted cream and jam packed in a to-go cup. If you decide to host a little tea party with your girlfriends, I highly recommend trying them out.

    I was finally able to try this place due to an invite from a friend of mine who wanted high tea…read moreservice! Parking is always difficult in Chinatown but we both scored meter parking on Nuuanu St not too far from 1024. Walked in and was pleasantly surprised by how cute and kitschy the place looked! There was a group of 3 adorable little girls being patiently taught by a parent how to sip their tea and enjoy the courses. They were dressed like princesses with tiaras and I loved that this place created that type of atmosphere. I wish I had dressed up more! You get to choose your own tea cup and matching plate from various areas and chose one tea that they will refill throughout the tea service. I opted for the Buckingham Palace (Earl Grey and rose?) I think. Would love to try their pu'erh tea options next time! The lunch menu for afternoon tea is so reasonably priced and starts with a salad, two flavors of scones with sweetened clotted cream and a strawberry jam, then 6 finger sandwiches and 3 dessert bites. I will say that the food was a relatively even hit or miss on taste but I did prefer the savory sandwiches to the final dessert options. It's heavy on the carbs but that's afternoon tea for you! Such a fun option in Hawaii if you want to lean into the whimsy and magic of tea time!
