The staff were friendly and atmosphere was cute and inviting. There was some seating available inside and areas to eat at the shopping center. Everything we ordered was delicious! The Chestnut Mont Blanc was a standout! It was light, not overly sweet, and had a wonderful chestnut flavor that really shined through. The carrot cake had beautiful layers and the perfect ratio of cake to frosting. The chicken Alfredo pan was soft, pillowy, and packed with flavor. Definitely one I would order again! The turkey pesto roll had soft bread and a delicious, savory flavor. We enjoyed everything we tried and can't wait to come back to try more of their pastries and baked goods. Definitely worth a visit!

Wow! The macadamia nut carrot cake, lilikoi cream cake, and lilikoi mango mousse were absolutely…read moreAMAZING. PLEASE do yourself a favor and get those. We tried the coconut cream cake, the roll up cake which were both pretty good, just not quite on the same level as above. The almond tart and cream cheese lemon pan were also okay, just a skip from us.

Came here on a Wednesday 10 min before closing. The person before me just ordered the last batch of…read morehouse made boba. My partner and I specifically came here for that. We were welcomed with the friendliest staff with big smiles on their face right when we walked in. We were kind of hungry after a long day coming from Hilo, so we ordered Kimchee pastrami sandwich and a watermelon refresher type drink with popping boba. The drink was very refreshing! The sandwich was DELICIOUS like a premium panini sandwich that came with what tasted like Maui onion kettle chips. Perfect combo! Told the owner I wanted to try their house made boba & because we came all the way from Hilo, she was able to give me a sample of what they had left since it wasn't enough to add to my drink. So thoughtful! I wanted to re-visit and try their hand made boba before we left the big island. We came back the following Friday and ordered butterfly pea type drink with fresh boba, tuna melt and an croffle that came with fresh Ube dipping cream on the side. Everything was great! Ambiance was calm, not too crazy. They had about 3 tables with a couple chairs for indoor seating and board games. I would definitely come back if I return to the big island!

Brought a friend to try since her first time on island. I will not bring anyone else. We purchased…read more6 and a whole banana bread. The banana bread was very good. The Malasadas not so much. We paid the extra for filling pumpkin cheesecake, banana cream and Bavarian cream. The fillings were very good but there was very little filling and you might have gotten one bite with filling. You were just eating a very dense piece of fried dough. Unfortunately this was a very expensive mistake. 4 of the 6 were crumbled and fed to the birds we did force ourselves to eat the two we tried. I remember them being so much better than what we had. I don't recommend.

Come pick up your bread here!!…read more Very well-maintained, bakery very clean and employees are kind. All places to get a dessert after a meal you need to come pick up a cupcake from here. I love jalapeño bread and I usually come pick up some bread from here to make breads for some chowder.

Stopped by the Waikoloa location for a quick snack after a long day at the pool. First impression…read morewalking in was really good -- the place is clean, modern, and has a nice family-friendly vibe. Good music playing, plenty of seating, and overall a relaxing atmosphere. I ordered the Blue Hawaiian/Strawberry Swirl, a root beer float, and mint chocolate chip loaded with candy toppings. Everything tasted really good and the ice cream itself was super flavorful. My only small complaint is the extra charge for each topping. Paying $0.50 per topping can add up pretty quickly. A couple other minor things: the lights kept turning off because of the motion sensors, and the young lady at the counter didn't seem very enthusiastic about helping explain the ordering process after we mentioned it was our first time there. The interaction felt a little rushed. That said, the ice cream was definitely good enough for me to come back again while I'm on the island for the next few days. Overall, still a solid spot to check out. Aloha!

What a great find. If it weren't for the Shaka Guide app sending us around the island, we probably…read morenever would have stopped here -- and I'm so glad we did. I went to a LOT of coffee shops during our week on the Big Island, and I have to say, I was surprised by how annoyed some people seemed that tourists were actually there. Kind of comes with the territory when you work at a coffee shop in a vacation town, doesn't it? Not here. Everyone was genuinely nice, friendly and accommodating. The place itself is so cool, and the coffee was damn good. I figured Hawaiian coffee would be good, but this was easily some of the best coffee I had all week. If I lived anywhere near this place, I'd be here all the time. Thanks for such a positive experience. I have no idea when or if I'll ever make it back, but I wish you guys nothing but the best.

I bought 3 Jamaican style patties (chicken curry, vegan and beef). All were delicious, flaky and buttery. The fresh pressed juices are a winner over here also. Don't forget to grab extra napkins for your buttery hands and face for later and if eating in your car, dust off good... so worth it! #bigboyproblems

Small and upbeat cafe with Jamaican patties, salads, wraps, smoothies, and fresh pressed juices…read more The cafe is bright and cheery with music that will get you in a good mood! Service is quick since everything is grab and go style. I tried the spicy beef and cheese patty and Jamaican jerk chicken salad bowl. The patty had a golden, flaky, toasty crust with a nicely spiced beef and cheese filling. It was still warm too! The salad was fresh with lovely seasoning on the chicken. The pineapple provided a nice burst of tartness and the pumpkin seeds added crunchiness. Such a refreshing salad to go with a hearty beef patty. Overall, Jam Pot is a great spot for a fresh, flavor-packed lunch when you are in a hurry or just craving a warm and toasty Jamaican patty. They do have a lot of vegan options which is amazing! I'm looking forward to trying the spicy vegan patty and a fresh juice the next time.

The flavors taste very "synthetic" or more traditional syrups rather than the natural flavors that have been circulating. The service was SO great. The guy in the window honestly made our day, so a trip here for the service alone is probably worth it. There is no seating, which is kinda a bummer. All in all, if you like ice cream in your shave ice, try this place. If you like traditional flavors, try this place. If you want to sit down to some "natural" juice flavors, maybe try a different one.
