    Mango cheesecake
    Berneta A.

    Honu Bakery is the go to for those last minute "oh no, I need a cake or dessert!" moments when every other bakery is already closed. Thankfully, they've got our backs until 7 PM. Their cakes are not just delicious but also fun sometimes shaped like animals or characters, making it almost too cute to eat (almost). Pretty sure the bakers here are Korean, and one thing I've noticed about their cakes aside from being ridiculously good is that they have a unique twist. If you're expecting a full-on cheesecake or Okinawan sweet potato cake, think again. Instead of being one dense block, they layer soft, airy chiffon cake with cream cheese or Okinawan sweet potato filling, making them lighter and way too easy to eat without feeling stuffed. But sometimes you do want that full non chiffon layered dessert so that is the only downside to this place. Favorites? Definitely the mango, blueberry, and strawberry cheesecakes, plus the Okinawan sweet potato cake they are all a must try. And let's not forget the adorable animal cupcakes. Too cute to eat... but obviously, I still do. The staff here? Just as sweet as the cakes. Super friendly, lighthearted, and their personalities match the good vibes of this place. Love it here!

    I saw a post about Turtle bread and I had to go and find it! But I had never been to this location and I was hoping they had my favorite, biscotti toast! The shopping center is weird! I wasn't sure where I could drive. There was a security guard checking with people to see if they were shopping. It was weird. But I found the shop. Friendly greeting when I walked in. Got my biscotti toast and a Turtle bread. They have a lot of baked goods! Some really cute cupcakes, and some cool looking cakes too! It would be really hard to decide what to get. But I just inhaled that toast and then started on that Turtle. Both so good! Mahalo Honu!

    Get their special Turtle Bread... if it runs out then go early the next day. This particular day we were just grabbing pastries for the kids on the way to the Bishop Museum.

    Honu Bakery...ah, the place wears a Japanese mask, but lift the veil and you'll find it's only an imitation of Kyoto's elegance. Not truly Japanese, merely Japanese-inspired, a ghost of something greater. And yet, credit where it's due this little shop still outshines the bloated, sugar-drunk mediocrity of your standard American bakery. The espresso? Smooth, precise, a bitter kiss worth lingering on. The sponge cake? Light, decent, even charming but never sublime. Good, yes. Never great. The Okinawan manju sits packaged like a promise, but one knows instinctively it won't carry the quiet poetry of a Ginza patisserie. It's play-acting refinement in a land that often prefers excess. So what is Honu? A clever chameleon. Not the opera house of Japanese baking, but a respectable theater. A place where the performance is good enough to make you smile, even if it never quite touches your soul.

    Turtle bread!

    Swung by Honu Bakery in the Kam Shopping Center. Adorable decorated cupcakes adorned the window looking into the bakery. Picked up the famous Honu (turtle) bread to share with family. 4/5 stars. Also picked up a slice of the strawberry shortcake and a meringue pie. The strawberry shortcake was unremarkable. Strawberries did not taste fresh. Whipped frosting and filling were plain tasting. Unfortunately, this is not a rebuy item. 2/5 stars. The meringue pie is light and more like a flaky crust type pastry. 3/5 stars. I decided not to purchase the decorated cupcakes because of the amount of frosting. I forgot to take pictures of the cupcakes. The cupcakes are beautiful for birthday celebrations and special occasions! Service here is fast and friendly here.

    Ube Crème Puff

    Honu Bakery has two locations. I typically go to the one they had in south king street but since I was near I decided to come here with my partner. The service process is pretty straight forward (similar to other bakeries). You go in, grab a tray and pick up the items you'd like, you'd then eventually end up at the counter where you'd checkout. They're known for their turtle bread, which is like a whipped cream mixed with chestnuts and raisins in between sweet roll buns that has almonds on top. We got the small/personal size. We also got the ube crème puff and the egg tart. Everything was good. I never cared too much for their signature item(turtle bread) but it's still good regardless. Their egg tart was super unique, unlike any other egg tarts i've had before. Their filling was a lot more sweet and custardy than eggy. The crust was also not flaky but more like a sweet pie crust. The ube crème puff was very good, FILLED with ube crème and definitely hit the spot. Most of their pastry options weren't as unique but they had all the basics.

    I've been here a handful of times, but this last time I went I was really disappointed. I decided to take my cousins and my nephews to go get Boba and they all requested for this place over infinitea. Supposedly, they come here after school and get snacks and Boba however upon ordering the girl who was taking our order, asked another coworker If there was still Boba pearls available when they confirm that there was that same girl that checked offered to make the drinks. As she was making the drinks, the girl who rung us up, noticed that she did not start off by making them correct and they went back-and-forth for a bit in front of us. I believe for professional reasons there is a time and a place and it was a bit awkward because at that moment I was unsure if our drinks were gonna come out right. The girl who was making the drinks seemed like she was out of uniform she had very exposing midriff shirt and not proper shoes when working in the food industry, I am all for expressing yourself through clothes, but just seemed like it was not appropriate for this company. My cousins had expressed that they would like to work here, but I highly suggested that they shouldn't based on how the coworkers interact with each other. When we received our drinks, everyone had seemed happy with what they got, the only downfall with the drinks was the pearls, some were chewy and some were too hard to chew into. I'm all for my family coming back here, but I wouldn't come back myself.

    8.5" Fresh Cream Cake

    I preordered Tuesday for Friday pick up. I parked, walked in, waited for the one person ahead of me, and maybe two minutes later walked out with my cake and got in my car--all took less than 5min. I was pleasantly surprised bc then I had a drive into Ewa. The cake was perfectly light, not too sweet, and elegant for our celebration of a 60th birthday. It totally beats the usual go-to cakes from Safeway if you want something different and dele. Based on this experience, I would highly recommend this bakery for your cake needs and probably will do business another time.

    Assorted baked goods

    I was shopping in Kam Shopping Center when I passed the big windows of this bakery. I stopped to admire all of the beautiful cupcakes through the window. I decided I'd go in and check out the baked goods to see if anything caught my eye. There were many different pastries but I ended up choosing the turtle bread for my grandma, pumpkin manju, and marbled bread. Everything was a little on the pricey side but the bakery looked so nice and fancy. My grandma enjoyed the turtle bread and pumpkin manju. She said it wasn't too sweet which you know, is the perfect compliment from an old asian woman! I had the marbled bread and it was delicious! It wasn't too sweet which is probably why I finished it that same day! If I'm in the area, I'll be back to try their other baked goods!

    A slice of heaven:  Purple sweet potato mango, and strawberry shortcake treats.
    Rosanna T.

    This bake shop is such a treat for me and my friends. We love the quality and beauty of all their desserts. This is where we grab our birthday cakes or "just because" the ladies are having a get-together. My friend's favorite is the purple sweet potato cake. Mango cake is also a contender. The service is fast. The place is clean and just makes you want to buy everything out there on their display.

    Was looking for dessert in the area in the afternoon. Found this bakery. It was not crowded. It's not really a place where you dine in but there was a spot at the counter where few stools were present and one could eat. Got the blueberry cheesecake. Since it's a Japanese style cheesecake, its base was chiffon. It was light, not that sweet, unlike most cheesecakes we are used to. Not a fan of these nondense cheesecakes. Would give it a 3/5.

    First time visiting this place and liked their pastries and cakes! I got a chocolate croissant it was $3.49? I think compared to brug's I think it was slightly bigger but smaller than liliha bakery's. Bread is a bit denser than the other two but still yummy. Especially loved their sweet potato cake, not that sweet!

You can street park or Kaimuki municipal parking across the street.

    Everyone knows to go to Leonard's for freshly made malasadas, and the constant crowds there attest…read moreto their quality and variety (review: https://yelp.to/jaduiZfQRq). 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. 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?
