    Recently picked up a few pastries from Geen Island Cheesecake. This business has a scooter friendly entrance. I was able to get to the counter and make my selections without getting off my mobility scooter.The young lady that took my order was friendly and answered a few questions. I ened up getting and assortment of Cheesecake and a couple of custard pastries. (Thank you Paul C for pointing out the custard). It was excellent. The Cheesecakes were the Japanese type. I prefer the dense and heavier Cheesecake. If you prefer Japanese style, Green Island would be a place to try. Enjoy

    I didn't have any cheesecake. 07:45. Just 15 minutes after opening. The showcases filled with fresh baked, still warm PETs and glistening, golden brown, savory bready breakfast treats. Pastel de nata AKA PET that is not exactly a PET. It does taste great. Outstanding layered shell made rich by what seems to be clarified unsalted butter and lard giving it a crisp yet yielding texture and rich flavor. The custard itself is well caramelized but does not taste like the traditional Portuguese custard (not as creamy and rich) rather like a Hong Kong egg tart. Being slightly sweeter and firmer it pairs so well with the shell. They have added a good selection of very well made savory breads. Pillowy soft. Kewpie, Spam, cheese and a brushing of some kind of fruit glaze makes for an outstanding snack. Fairly priced with friendly service. Takeout only. A solid Chinese bakery that has found a lane that compliments the other offerings in Hawaii's Chinatown. Will definitely return.

    We were in town for the 2026 Chinatown Parade. On our way to pick up some New Year supplies we came upon Green Island Cheesecake Bakery. Located on Hotel Street just before Sun Cheong as you head towards River Street. In addition to their wonderful baked goods they also make a good selection of specialty drinks. We tried one of their most popular items, the Chocolate Cheesecake. Lighter and fluffier than the New York cheesecake but very flavorful. Service is very good. A definite must try when you're in town

    A bit on a pricey side for pastries and sweets. Not a big fan of their cheesecakes, but the honeymoon cake (lao po bing) is actually pretty good. The skin very buttery and flakey. I also like how it's not too sweet. It's an Asian mom approve sweetness.

    Part 2 of 2 9/5/25 Friday with the meeting of friends. This portion of the review is a part 2. The first part was the drink and a view of the cafe. There I mentioned that I bought my Kona coffee Latte and it has good hints of possibly "peaberry" Kona coffee flavor adding it's much -- the even ratio of milk to coffee. In other words, it was great! And made really well. The cafe worker even brought it over to where I sat. In this second part I'll mention the food. My friend arrived and we enjoyed the Portuguese egg tart, a piece of original japanese cheese cake, a honeymoon cake. Let's talk about this Portuguese egg tart. A Devine perspective-- my POV- I've had perhaps three distinctive eggs tarts in my time and here- the Green Island cheesecake/ egg tart is the 3rd in the three I tried.. it's noted for its light flaky sweetness... it's not heavy- it's not a thick mass of tart egg.. and it's not heavy on crust.. it's that flaky pastry style not the pie style... some tarts have the mass of cookie short bread style.. if I recall one that I ate in Australia can be considered more the opposite to this egg tart... that one would be egg tart #2 which was in a place called- Tim Ho Wan / Melbourne CBD, Australia- in 2015. To quickly note... the base of that egg tart was not thick but a more "pie crust" style. The Green Island cheesecake Egg tart is light. Filled with a more sweet to custardy egg texture and it's very obviously smooth and great- done the way an "egg" custard should be without cuddling when it's whisked in creation... the flaky pastry part of this egg tart is yes "FLAKY LAYERS" it's easily to see the chef had properly turned the dough for these egg tart... to temper the custard and then have the mixture poured into the set pastry crusted bases to bake. In the picture of the cut open egg tart-- the middle, you can see the flaky texture and the custard of the whole tart... it's very delightful... preference is a thing... lots of people like their egg tart a certain way... I very much like the egg tart here at Green Island Cheesecake.... I've made a mental note of this egg tart here and may come back to buy More for a get together or something similar. Lastly, let me give a mention of the cheesecake. It's a automatic love. If you had eaten the Asian style cheesecake this is just as delightful... I've had my first Asian cheesecake in Australia. Where it's a near staple since there's a heritage of the European Vietnamese traditions there from the 1970's (post Vietnam war brought over a substantial population of migrants) and with this is a French Vietnamese breads and savories that I am only NOW seeing here in Hawaii. ((If your know Brug Bakery "stuff" it's a standard in and around City limits Australia- it's where I discovered the cupi Mayo and chive buns- yummy and it's around every street corner))- Green Island cheesecake makes a "Hawaiian style Ube Cheesecake" I'll Have to try that one soon!! The Honeymoon cake -- disclaimer: you must love the condensed coconut middle found in what's called a cocktail bun (sometimes) I'm glad that I don't have any issues with coconut yet. This moon cake is delicious- carrying the same flaky pastry texture as the egg tart and very much baked with the sheen of egg wash with sesame seed sprinkled on top... yes it was a delicious bite and so yummy with my Kona Coffee Latte... I'm pleased with the trendy environment, the service being exceptional and ... the care being made for the elusive "Egg Tart" oh yeah - it's a place worthy of my return!! Thank you Green Island Cheesecake for. Delightful experience

    Feeling cheesy... I know that's so cheesy but so is this new biz in the heart of Chinatown, Green Island Cheesecake a place to find Japanese Cheesecake and Portuguese Tarts and I'm not sure about what type of tarts they are but looks so rich and flakey but as for the cheesecakes it definitely was a nice and luxurious bite. Stopping by on a late Sunday afternoon does have it's perks with street parking is free and majority of the shoppers have left for the day so it was a breeze to find a spot though sadly what's left in the shop was less than I hoped especially since I glanced at the menu I was so hoping for a bit of variety. With flavors of Pumpkin, Matcha, Ube and Chestnut you know I was excited only to see Ube and Matcha as the Ube looks more on the rich denser texture I opted for the fluffy Matcha and noticed Berlin and asked what type of cheesecake and found out it's a more richer type from the signature...hmm. You first place your order at the counter and select the available cheesecake from the display case, service here is very nice and friendly and they do have self service water available as well is very nice and thoughtful. Well the Matcha was definitely lighter and fluffier like a Japanese cheesecake and not too sweet so it was an easy bite despite still being full from lunch and it was nice that I was able to enjoy it there on one of a few tables they have available, great treat. Thank you!

    Went back hoping to try the matcha drinks which looked so delightful in other posts. Still no iced matcha. Sunny, the pleasant woman at the counter explained that they are having difficulty getting the matcha that they like to use which is the reason they have been out of the drink. I DID find my happy place with the slice of Asian styled matcha cheesecake. By the time I got it home, it had been sitting out at room temperature for a few hours. Perfect temperature and perfect compliment to my afternoon coffee. Not too sweet. Nice and fluffy. Still prefer the creaminess of egg custard tarts around the corner on Maunakea St though I did appreciate the flakiness of the crust on Portuguese tart. I can see why Paul C, unofficial mayor of Chinatown, and others enjoy this pastry. Will be back for more cheesecake goodness and maybe when they get their matcha back in stock. Sunny did mention that they serve 100percent kona coffee. That could be nice too!

    Ten percent off during Grand Opening of Green Island Cheesecake in Chinatown, Honolulu, Hawaii... Hurry! Don't miss this deal on high quality Japanese-style Cheesecakes, Portuguese custard tarts, Chinese Honeymoon cake and other desserts! I actually was going just for the Portuguese Tart, but since I was there, I decided to try one of everything! I was pleasantly surprised that I liked the cheesecakes so much! They are fluffy, light, and not too sweet! The matcha has a slight bitterness and the ube has that sweet potato essence! The Portuguese Tart has flakey, crisp crust! It was exactly what I was expecting! It's not as sweet as usual! The Honeymoon cake has a mixture of coconut and wintermelon? I liked the contrast of the chewy filling with the crispy outer layer! I highly recommend Green Island Cheesecake! The shop is clean, bright, and spacious! There are a few tables with chairs for dining in! Service is friendly and efficient! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

    If you're wandering around Chinatown and craving a light dessert, stop by Green Island Cheesecake. Their traditional Japanese-style cheesecake is light, fluffy, and perfectly airy--just the right amount of sweetness. The Portuguese tart features a delicate, flaky crust with a creamy, custard-like filling that hits the spot. Pair your treat with a hot cup of coffee or a refreshing mango drink for the perfect midday pick-me-up. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area!

    Japanese cheesecake, Portuguese egg tart, Chinese wife cake

    My mom told me that a new bakery opened in Chinatown and asked if I wanted to try it out. Of course I did. She picked up four slices of Japanese cheesecake, a Portuguese egg tart and a Chinese wife cake pastry. It was all good. The Japanese cheesecake was light, fluffy and not too sweet. The Portuguese egg tart had a really flaky crust. While it costs a little more at this bakery, I'm happy that there's a new bakery in Chinatown.

    I love Portuguese egg tarts but they are hard to find. So when I saw their selections it was the Portuguese tarts that caught my eyes! I had 2 to go and they were great! Good flavors and the crust was very flaky! I'm sure they would be even better when they're piping hot! They also have different types of cheesecake to choose from. There are a few tables in case you wanna eat there but it was a little hot there so I chose to take out.

    ****4.5 STARS*** As I shop in Chinatown every weekend I see changes. Some businesses close and some open. Step in Green Island Cheesecake (GIC). They took over the spot previously occupied by long time business Ruby's Bakery, next to Sun Chong Grocery. Yesterday was their grand opening as I saw flower arrangements and a lion dance troupe. I was on a tight schedule so I didn't hang around. This morning I stopped by and they had quite a few people checking them out so I followed suit. I saw their display case and had slices of Japanese style cheesecake in regular and matcha flavors but my eyes landed on their po-tat, or Portuguese egg tarts. A fresh tray came out so I picked up a dozen. I took them to my part time job where it was still warm as I unpacked them. Flaky crust and a creamy custard filling. Yum!!! GIV can be a little pricey but the quality was amazing. I'll have to return to try their cheesecake but it comes just under $6 with tax. Clean and bright. A great welcome to Chinatown and I wish them the best. NOTE: Hurry over as grand opening special yields 10% off. 2025 #20

    Another surprise today my husband went here and surprised me with dessert. He bought the egg custard tarts, the Japanese cheesecake and two others can't remember what it was. It's good very light . They do have a great selection in their showcase.

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?
