    Cha Sui baos and hot dog buns , and pineapple bun.
    Toma C.

    The egg custard was really good the best I had so far on the island but the wifey cookie was thin and I wouldn't recommend it. Nice owners I would support them and try the other stuff they sell next time.

    Shops along Hotel St.  Bakery in the middle... not on Maunakea St. as address indicates.

    Happen to be in Chinatown and finding this bakery was a must. We always enjoy the ham & cheese buns from here... someone always brings a box to pot lucks. Bakery is located in between the vegetable shops along Hotel Street (although official address is Maunakea St.). Handful of items to choose from... and reasonably priced ($2-something each). Will return.

    A heavenly custard bolo bao
    Ann C.

    Have only tried 2 things from here- their standard egg tart and their pineapple custard bun. The egg tart was just OK- the custard was well set, not too sweet, and a little bland; the pastry could have been much more buttery/flaky. The pineapple custard bun was fresh baked out of the oven and was perfect. Crunchy buttery topping, soft pillowy bread, stuffed with lots of not-too-sweet custard. Will return for the pineapple custard bun and to try more items!

    Grace lives up to her name :) Behind her mask, I could "see" her genuine smile as she welcomed me into her shop. It isn't crowded or noisy at 6:30 a.m. so she excitedly reminded me that everything is still warm out of the oven. It was early and I wanted something to snack on before I started my shopping adventure. I feel better about having pastry if I know I'll be walking it off LOL Everything looked good and it made me curious which items were local favorites. She said the Hong Kong Cocktail buns and I should have known better because Popo used to always buy those! She also said Japanese tourists come for her bun with red bean like an pan; and the locals like the bun with hot dog centers. The custard tarts weren't ready yet but I did find a couple things to enjoy (now and later!) Grace sure did start my day off right, with her warm aloha spirit and delicious pastry. She said that a number of customers are there at 5:30 a.m. to purchase items for breakfast, lunch for later, or like me...a morning snack to kick start my day. And did you know they've been around for 35 years! Unless I heard her wrong? Now I know why my grandma liked shopping here! Thank you Grace :)

    Cocktail bun and manapua
    Dante H.

    Came here with a friend who wanted to buy plants in Mauna Kea Marketplace. Bakeries abound around here and I wandered into this one, perhaps one of the only ones I've never been to, behind one of the perennially crowded bus stops. It's a cute, tiny store with pastries surrounding you when you walk in. I decided to get the Hong Kong Cocktail bun and char siu manapua. About $2 each for sizable pastry, standard price if not on the cheaper side. They were both put in a plastic bag and I wandered off to the fenced off tables of the maunakea marketplace square (confucius/guanyin square?) to eat. The manapua wasn't my favorite. The bun was nicely sweet and chewy, but, first, it was kind of destroyed when I peeled off the paper, and the charsiu inside wasn't really flavorful, vaguely sweet with a kind of metallic aftertaste. I love char hung sut's super meaty filling and this was pretty different--a matter of preference though, I guess. The cocktail bun--the characters for which are literally cock tail--was tasty though. I've never had one and I wasn't sure what to expect. It had a shiny exterior with what looked like some butter on the outside. It had a similarly sweet and chewy bun, maybe more fluffy, than the manapua, and also a sweet coconut filling. I'm not a huge coconut fan, but this had a subdued taste, almost more like vanilla than coconut. The texture was in between koshi an and the sugar butter mix on the outside of ensaymada. Very tasty and perfect for an afternoon snack at work.

    Hong Kong pastries in Honolulu's Chinatown... Walking around Chinatown with my coworker is very educational. She's from Hong Kong, so I believe her when she talks about their cuisine. She recommended this bakery, so I ordered a few things that looked good to me. I got the don tat (egg custard tart), coconut tart, and mini pineapple bun. I thought that the crusts of the two tarts were good because they were flaky. The contents were ok. The egg custard was a bit watery and the coconut filling was a bit dense and on the dry side. I liked the pineapple bun, but the pineapple flavor wasn't apparent to me. The service seemed friendly enough. I repeated my order several times. Perhaps there is a language barrier because I thought I ordered a cha siu bao... there was none in my package... That's okay... less calories and I saved some money... haha! Anyway, I wouldn't go out of my way for these items. Maybe I ordered the wrong things? My coworker got a rolled pastry from the refrigerated section. The Spam Cheese Bun sounded interesting and so did the Green Onion Bread in Sherrie's review. Oh, well... next time!

    This little gem was fabulous! I ordered a coconut cream bun which was soft and delicious. The coconut cream was sweet and buttery and complimented the bread without overpowering it. I ordered the coconut peanut butter mochi and loved it! They were 3 for $2.49, so a good value. The last item was a walnut red bean pastry. This was my favorite! The dough was flaky and flavorful and the red bean and walnut mixture had the perfect amount of sweetness. The woman working was very nice and friendly and welcomed us even though we were neither local or Chinese. Tips: This was a cash only business, so keep that in mind.

Sadly, it seemed more folks were there for the pastries though. First off, I'm surprised I found such a fabulous cup of coffee in what feels like the epicenter of tourist life on this island. While visiting another island nearly establishment had signage stating they served Kona and/or Hawaiian coffee, but nearly every establishment's coffee was absolutely awful. Seeing the location I fully expected them to phone in the coffee, but it's clear that coffee comes first here, even if many of the guests are trying to get pastries! You'll be shocked by the line, but just know the staff is efficient and it moves fast. They offer a variety of their own locally roasted beans here, with options for batch brew, espresso drinks and even pour overs (impressive considering the volume of customers). The coffees are well described and the baristas have the additional knowledge you may be seeking when you order, and all in all this went as quickly as I could have expected. Truly, the coffee was delightful, and the fact I was drinking a hot drink on an extremely hot day didn't even phase me. I wanted so badly to bring home a bag of each one, but given that everything is more expensive in Hawaii, these were all 4x the price of the specialty coffee I buy on the mainland and I just couldn't make it happen. What will happen is me telling everyone to visit this shop when they're in Hawaii because it is 100% worth it. Won't you consider opening one in Reno NV?

Since it was their anniversary on Sunday, also got their celebratory funfetti cupcake which also like their baked goods did not disappoint. The croissant base of many of their pastries is flaky. When fresh it crunches with every bite that you take. This time around we had the cinnamon roll, mango danish which had a chocolate mochi filling, and their char siu bun. It's such a neat take to have char siu in a croissant. We are used to having it in the doughy bao bread but in a croissant, savory with a crunchy outside tastes so much better. I love sweet but this one wasn't overly sweet, who would have thought that mango and chocolate pair so well together. It's the summer months, fresh mango on pastries. It was the perfect ripeness. For the cinnamon roll, you honestly cannot forget get their cinnamon roll...It's flaky and again the frosting is not overly sweet. Can't wait to get another box of their pastries again soon.

The bigger the malasadas size the more airy and fluffy and more bread layers that will be inside. 2. their malasadas always taste fresh and the same quality each time. 3. their malasadas don't feel oily or heavy at all Overall I would highly recommend this place for their Malasadas! I'm so happy to have found them. I can back multiple times on my trip. They also have other desserts too that I have yet to try. They have ice cream, cakes, and other desserts Also tip: if you are ordering a malasada also order a coffee or a matcha drink to go with it. The cinnamon sugar from the malasada just matches so perfectly with a drink this restaurant is also a nice place for walking! There's lot of stores and restaurants to walk around!

However, there are many alternative malasada purveyors throughout Honolulu, so I depended on local vloggers to find the best ones. This one popped up often on YouTube, and as luck would have it, we were dining at The Pig & The Lady on the next block. How calorifically convenient. We took the opportunity to stop by for a pre-dinner snack since they closed at 6PM. It's a cute shop with multiple sweets including quite a selection of housemade ice cream and delectable mouthfuls called Cake Bombs (Photo 10). 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.
