Once upon a time I was on a search for a birthday pie for my visit to the island of Kaua'i. I found a local menu, but lost it. Once I checked my wingman Yelp, Kapa'a Apple Pie Company appeared on the list. The unique crust and fruit cuts caught my eye, and moreso the extended scone flavors! I shopped through their website and found my potential flavor to be listed as sold out.
I immediately sent a Yelp message to the business. Lucky for me the pie artist and owner responded within the day. I asked for a mango cream pie and was relieved Wayne was able to make my request happen within a week's notice, and even when mangoes aren't in season. I also ordered a tray of ube coconut scones, and finalized the detail in a quick and easy manner.
The pick up was simple, and Wayne was so genuine in welcoming me to the island, and giving me further instructions in preserving the pie. There was even a thank you note attached. He bid us a well wishing farewell and safety for the rest of our stay.
Our family was delighted with the balance of cream to mango. Refreshing was correct, Mango-cream-so-ono good!!! My MIL could not stop talking about the beauty of the crust and how amazing it tasted. The crust reminded me of shortbread cookies and it was decadently flakey enough to eat on its own. We were able to cut the pie in 8, and everyone finished their piece even after a large meal!!
Once the family tried the ube scones, they could not stop at one. Each scone was so soft and tasty even my baby neice happily ate it. My significant other barely made it out the door with the last scone!!
There was just so much Aloha put within the baked goods and much appreciated Aloha from the Kapa'a pie company. Mahalo nui loa for making this an easy transaction and setting off my Kaua'i visit on a wonderful note!! read more
