Found this place when I looked up a fellow yelper that complimented on one of my pictures and was in the area to check this place out after seeing a few great reviews. A family run small business that sets up outside of auto detailing on the right side heading west bound on Kam highway, right after the fast food restaurants (popeyes, taco bell, etc) but right before genki sushi/zippy's. You can miss it because it's not a store and they are selling it in the lot with a big banner out in front to the left of auto detailing. I have often driven past this place but never really noticed it because of it's location and they sell out and close up fast, and they don't sell at any farmer's market either. Today they had Taro and fruity pebbles flavor so I ordered a box of 15 for $20 of half flavor of each. The mochisada is addicting, fried and sugared like a malasada, but the consistency of fried mochi, a unique blend to snack on. A fluffy, yet chewy sugary snack, I could eat the whole box, and I bet icecream would go great with it, but with all that sugar, it would put me in a coma. They have a loyalty card buy 7 boxes and get one free. I was lucky they were open and still had some left to be able to buy/try some because I found that Hauoli is on instagram and mostly takes pre orders, and only sells certain flavors on certain dates and time. They can be contacted through Instagram or by phone if you'd like them to serve it at a party. Open parking since they are on a lot by themselves.

Super fun to make, easy to share, and no leftovers!

I did a custom order of original poi mochisadas to make a birthday cake with chantilly frosting and it was a huge hit! Everyone enjoyed the challenge of making balls into a cake. Even better was the fact that there were no leftovers, cuz usually when I buy a cake, I end up taking home leftover sheet cake and nobody eats it. This is the original mochisada, not to be confused with the one they sell at Zippys. NOT.THE.SAME.THING. Follow their IG to get locations, there is no storefront so you have to hunt them down or place a custom order for your workplace or next event!

Got my goods from the Hearts n Craft gift fair 2day at Ka Makana Alii mall. They had the original Taro mochisala buggah was ono, it's a cross between a mochi and a malasada. I should have asked not to coat it with sugar but I was too excited I finally was getting my hands on these carb goodies, havnt had them in a few yrs at another event in town. Follow him on FB or IG for event info. Thanks for coming closer to the West Side so I could finally get my fix. N yes I drove out from waianae to the mall just for these babies lol.

Mochisadas! OG Taro! The best treat yourself food!

This is the most delicious Mochisadas ever! It's crispy on the outside like a Malasada but the dough on the inside is like eating a mochi. Don't go for the copycats at other places like Foodland and Zippys. This is original homemade Mochisadas and a local family run business. Sometimes they are at Farmer's Markets and are able cater to special events like a Wedding or Graduation party. They have flavors from the OG taro, oreo, fruit pebbles and other seasonal flavors. With chantilly cream or chocolate sauce to dip it in. Sometimes there's Boba Cookies and Chantilly Brownies too. He also sells Boba Cookies at Sweet Treats by Kris in Pearlridge Shopping Center. I've only had the OG Taro, it was so delicious! You can really taste the taro and the crispness in the Mochisadas. It's my favorite place to get and eat Mochisadas! They cost 15 pieces for 20 dollars or you can buy them individually. They also can do fundraising with sales from their products. They're a great family business! Support local! It's also a good way to carb up before a race, hiking, swimming, biking or triathlon training. They occasionally announce deals on their social media page. I highly recommend trying this place out! It's delicious and so tempting to keep eating the whole box of 15 Mochisadas! Thank you for all the hard work you all do in making the delicious pastries!

Imagine a delicious, fluffy malasada had a baby with a chewy, sweet piece of mochi. Thats what you get with Hauoli Pastry's mochisada. I found John on Instagram almost 3 years ago on one of my suggested pages. I decided to check him out when he was at a local craft fair in Kaimuki. Once I had his taro mochisada - I was in heaven! On certain occasions, he also makes other flavors such as haupia, Oreo, and fruity pebbles. The chantilly and chocolate sauce are a MUST! I loved these mochisadas so much I convinced John to cater these on site as my dessert at my wedding 2 years ago! These were such a hit with all of my family and friends, and we are so blessed to have shared these with all of our out of town guests. Walk, don't run, to find out where hauoli pastry will be next to snag yourself some delicious mochisadas! Ps: don't forget to try his other baked goods such as the chantilly Mac nut brownies, dark truffle tartlets, and the Thai tea boba cookies!

Oreo

First time trying this out. It's a cross between a mochi and malasada. Tried their original and Oreo. Can't go wrong. Great snack if you're in the pearl city area on the weekend.

Took this photo before eating, After I ate it I realize what all these black parts were, it was burnt!!!

I would have liked to give this place 5 stars or at least 2 or 3 stars, but when I bought some Mochisada at Kapunahala Elementary's Keiki Swap Meet & Food Truck Event today the outside of the Mochisada was burnt and it seems as if the owner tries to hide the burnt areas with sugar. So, when you bite into the Mochisada all you get is a burnt taste in your mouth covered with sugar. I thought maybe I could pull off the outside and just eat the inside, wrong, the inside was dry and not moist like I thought it would be. I eventually ended up throwing away everything I bought because it tasted nasty. If you all ever want to eat a good Mochisada you better off going to Zippy's. See my photo of all the burnt parts on the Mochisadas. So disappointing and such a waste of money.

Awesome take on taro mochi & Malasada, Mochisada. Never knew about this place till rolled up on this place by chance. Located at the same spot as detail garage near the old Genki sushi in Pearl city. Flavors today were OG taro & churro. Dipping sauce of chantilly was a GREAT bonus. Brought it home to the Ohana & they were pleasantly surprised. My wife is now considering to go to them for my sons upcoming bday party. Not sure where they are usually located, but owner said every Saturday they are at this location.

Order ahead, they do run out.

First time trying the original mochisadas, will not be the last time. Amazingly flavorful, soft, sugary, just ono!!! You won't regret having one, or 5! So good!! This is a family owned business. Love supporting that as well.

We tasted these at a family dinner. Mochi-sadas are ping pong size flavor bombs. We are going to ferret them out for more.

Nene Goose Bakery: A Little Slice of Old Kailua!…read more BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): An authentic, old-school Kailua bakery serving up delicious homemade treats and a healthy dose of nostalgia! Their Portuguese sausage buns are absolutely fantastic and sell out ridiculously fast! Bring cash, arrive early, and thank me later! The Details: I first discovered Nene Goose Bakery around 1998, when my family lived in Enchanted Lakes. Tucked away in the neighborhood shopping center, this charming little bakery was already being operated by a sweet Japanese couple who had been serving the community for years. One of my favorite weekend traditions was walking over with my young son to pick out freshly baked goodies to bring home. Nearly three decades later, stepping through those doors again brought back a flood of wonderful memories! Now, let's talk about their PORTUGUESE SAUSAGE BUNS! Oh, my goodness, these things are fantastic! Beautifully golden-brown, soft savory bread filled with delicious Portuguese sausage, topped with creamy, melted cheese and herbs. Absolutely mouthwatering! The problem? They sell out INSANELY quickly! Knowing this, I actually drove over yesterday specifically to place an order for half a dozen to pick up today. That's how much I love these little beauties! A few tips for first-timers: - CASH ONLY! Come prepared. - ARRIVE EARLY! Popular items disappear quickly. - PLAN AHEAD! Stop by in person to arrange an advance order. - EXPLORE THE DISPLAY CASE! Cinnamon rolls, malasadas, donuts, savory rolls, and plenty of other tempting treats await! What makes Nene Goose Bakery special goes beyond the food. It's the authenticity, the nostalgia, and that wonderful small-town Kailua charm that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. Big-box stores and corporate bakeries simply can't replicate the personality and warmth of a little family-operated neighborhood bakery like this one. Standing there today, I couldn't help remembering those weekend walks with my son, choosing our treats, and bringing home a box of happiness for the family. Five enthusiastic stars for Nene Goose Bakery! If you're in Kailua, skip the chains and support this wonderful neighborhood treasure. Some of the sweetest things in life aren't just baked into the bread. They're baked into the memories we make along the way!

Amendment to Nene Goose Bakery hours: Open from 600a till 100p, Thursdays to Sundays, and closed…read morefrom Monday to Wednesday. I got their Choco Animal. It has chocolate ( a fairly high percentage of cacao ) on the middle. I had a crab...it also had choco eyes. Also, asked for a Long John and it was the best one that I've ever had. Older woman who helped me is super nice...I guess her husband works in the back of the house, exclusively. No two customer rule inside the store on this day. Cash only.

I love apple maples and came in the morning but apparently they are $4.10! I swear it was under $3…read morebefore but it's been a while. Sadly the apple Napple is mostly fluffly flakey pastry and almost no apple in it anymore. At least the lady gave me the fresh ones from the back and not the display.

Birthday treats in Kaneohe, Oahu, Hawaii…read more.. Today (August 8th) is Brown's birthday. He's the bear and main character in the Korean version of Sanrio, called Line Friends. To celebrate Brown's birthday, I searched my Yelp app and found Napoleon's Bakery. Located inside of Zippy's, this bakery is convenient, has free parking, lots of variety, and has friendly service. We chose a Pianomo Roll, a chocolate-filled donut, and a famous Apple Napple. The Pianomo Roll is great for simple palates because it's a soft cake, rolled in butter and granulated sugar! For chocolate lovers, the chocolate-filled donut is just right because the fluffy yeast donut surrounds the rich center to balance it. Rounding out our sugar rush, we got the flakey Apple Napple. The crunchy exterior and fruity filling helped to satisfy our sweet tooths! If you haven't had anything from Napoleon's Bakery, other recommended items are the Long Johns, Chantilly cake, and Dobash cake. If you're celebrating a special occasion, they can write a greeting with icing on the cake! They also have mixes such as cornbread, pancake, and mochiko chicken batter mix so you can enjoy fresh goodness at home or send/bring to friends/family on the mainland. Just browse and you'll find something for anyone!
