Tried working with Robin on our wedding years ago, horrible experience. We were clear on our…read morebudget, and she basically tried to increase it 80% - when we said we couldnt do it she said she would work with us. We agreed on a menu and asked for an estimate and contract for 4 months - 4 MONTHS OF HER SAYING THE CONTRACT WOULD COME OVER IN A WEEK OR 2!!! It was honestly crazy as we never called or emailed excessively. Maybe she was holding out for a bigger event or pay day, but all she did was waste a lot of time and put us in a scramble with a few months to go to figure our catering and cake. This review has nothing to do with her food, and everything to do with her professional business ethics.

I sent photos of ideas for decoration and such. At first it took a while for us to get responses from the bakery via email.

If I lived closer I'd be here way too often. What a cute little spot to enjoy a sweet snack. 808…read moreSweet Shack is the perfect place to do just that. Cute inviting Island atmosphere with perfectly baked sweet treats. I've stopped by 3 times so far and they have yet to disappoint me. I have tried a few of their selections and my favorites are the Lilikoi Cheesecake, Lemon and Butter Bars. If you are a fan of Lilikoi Cheesecake you need to try 808 Sweet Shacks version. Different than most that I have tried in a good way. The ratio of Cheesecake to graham cracker crust is perfect and Lilikoi was not too sweet or tart. I also love that the Lilikoi wasn't just a glaze added after. Consistency more of a gelatin. My favorite by far is the Lemon Bars. So so good. Tart lemon filling with the perfect I'm going to guess Shortbread crust with a little sprinkle of confectioners sugar to cut the tartness. Love it. Long story short, if you're in Hilo give this place a try. Fresh baked goodies made with the freshest local ingredients at a good price. Down town on Hilo Bay in the old S Hata building right past Cafe Pesto. I'm glad I did.

Looking for a malasadas place before our flight back to the mainland and Yelp led us here…read more It's in a food court area in a nondescript area behind a gas station. Lots of free parking and tables to eat at in an open air area with ample seating, but it's hot inside (though there are fans). The place seems catered to locals more than tourists. Service was perfectly fine and cordial. Got there around noon and many things were already sold out. Was able to get a regular malasada (4 out of 5) and an ube malasada (5 out of 5). The real standout was their Reese's peanut butter cup donut - so unique and delicious! Would return again to try other flavors (but would have to come early!).

*This is strictly about the macarons & service since I was able to try these because of the Made in…read moreHawaii Festival*. Decided to give their macarons a try since my cousins said I should try it since they've gotten them during this year + last year's MIH and I can understand why. I will admit their macarons are a bit on the sweeter side but for me it isn't to the point where my teeth hurt so I was super happy about that. My absolute favorites from my box were the fruity pebbles, ube, oreo, & birthday cake because of how spot on they were flavor wise although for me the ube, oreo, & lilikoi flavors were a bit faint. For me the salted caramel was my least favorite but I think it's mostly because I've never tried actual salted caramel before so I wasn't sure what to expect. Despite this I'm hoping that next year I'll be able to try their cookie butter macaron since my cousins said that it was good but they were sold out of it by Saturday night when I went. As for the service I'm pretty sure it was one of the owner's daughters & her mom that I interacted with and they were so nice so definitely hope to see them again next year!

The shop keeper was friendly and patient as I browsed the pastry case. I've always been curious about the Dubai chocolate bar, so I decided to splurge and give it a try. Very pricey at $16 for a 4-5" bar, but it was worth it to try it once. The chocolate was smooth and high quality, the pistachio cream was sweet with a hint of pistachio flavor, and the kataifi was pleasantly crunchy. I would have loved more pistachio flavor, but it was a nice little chocolate treat. Looking forward to trying more things from Short n Sweet in the future. Will definitely be back when I want to treat myself to a gourmet dessert. :)
