I love Pipeline Bakeshops Malasadas! I have been to several Malasada places in Hawaii but | love…read morethere's the best for the following reasons: 1. the size of the malasadas: some restaurants tend to make their Malasadas smaller and when places do this it ruins the overall texture and quality of it. The bigger the malasadas size the more airy and fluffy and more bread layers that will be inside. 2. their malasadas always taste fresh and the same quality each time. 3. their malasadas don't feel oily or heavy at all Overall I would highly recommend this place for their Malasadas! I'm so happy to have found them. I can back multiple times on my trip. They also have other desserts too that I have yet to try. They have ice cream, cakes, and other desserts Also tip: if you are ordering a malasada also order a coffee or a matcha drink to go with it. The cinnamon sugar from the malasada just matches so perfectly with a drink this restaurant is also a nice place for walking! There's lot of stores and restaurants to walk around! I'm trying to remember but I think there was a book off that was not too far from here! If you either drive or maybe walk. Service: staff was super helpful and friendly while I was there. I was having an issue with my online order because my phone was being glitchy and they were so nice in helping :) Also wanted to note their branding is so cute!! They even sell merch items too

Review only based on the Malasadas. They are made to order so they come out fresh. They do not…read morecontain any fillings, so if you are looking for something Leonard's you may be disappointed. Haven't tried their other offerings, but will do so next time. Good location in Kaimuki, around other shops and restaurants. It is clean and bright inside. There isn't really anywhere to sit in the shop to eat, so you'll have to take it to go.

Got my favorite tsunami (white bean) mochi and saw a matcha butter mochi that I just had to try. The mochi had good texture and the flavors were good. The matcha in the butter mochi is delicate. Everything in the shop has good presentation and all the mochi is packaged in cute little containers. There are other Japanese snacks and cute stickers you can get there also. Lovely local mochiya offering freshly made treats!

I had no idea Fujiya Hawaii is still open for business. I was gifted these Pure Peanut Butter Mochi…read morefrom one of my students during Teachers appreciation week. It was sooo delicious! Soft, fresh mochi filled with crunchy peanut butter. Yum! I remember when they were on Waikamilo Road in Kalihi. If you didn't know, like me. They've relocated to the McCully area. Where mochi is continued to be made fresh and a window to see the making of it. The bright and colorful painted wall caught my attention. Great for taking selfies or pictures your purchases. There's three benches outside decorated with stickers that's available for purchase. Too cute! Fujiya Hawaii offers much more than delicious mochi. Such as iced cold drinks, locally made snacks, mochi leis, T-Shirts and the cutest stickers, to name a few things available for purchase. I asked a few questions and the pleasant lady that answered my questions was very helpful and offered me samples of the different flavors of Senbei & Japanese Okoshi- crispy puffed brown rice with macadamia nuts. That was really yummy! I had to add a bag to my order. By Supporting a locally and family owned business, that's been in business since in 1953. Fujiya Hawaii is one of the many locally owned businesses that's teamed up with American savings bank. When using your debit card, you'll save $5 off $35 and $10 off $70 purchase. Definitely stop by & you'll be happy that you did.

The old Crack Seed store in Kaimukii is a favorite of many locals. They still sell preserved fruits…read morefrom jars, the way it was sold when I was a Keiki (child). When I land on the island, this is one of the first places I regularly visit to pick up crack seed. Crack Seeds are snacks found in Hawaii. It originated in China. It is preserved and dried fruits that are flavored with salt, sugar and licorice. It's a mouthwatering island favorite. The store is very small, so I recommend checking the list of offerings outside of the store. A list with photos are on the window in front of the store. Write the name and number of the item and when you go into the store it will help speed your purchase.The store can get quite crowded when people are unsure of what they want, so knowing in advance helps the flow of customers. My favorites are Spicy Mangos and Li Hing Cherries.

It's located in Kaimuki and has convenient free parking right behind the shop. The store is small but packs a lot of choices. The main draw is the homemade pasta and sauces, ready for you to take home and simply heat for a local meal. They also have a selection of wines, local beer, and grocery items from Italy like anchovies and olives. Prices are reasonable for the homemade quality. Portion sizes are small; if you're making a big meal for a family or group of friends you'll definitely need multiple bags. The cashier was welcoming and friendly, telling us about the business. At the back you can see them making pizza dough and pasta for the restaurant next door too.

The wait time is 0 minutes because everything is already cooked. It's kind of like Chipotle.

Potatoes, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, papaya, banana, lemons, and much more. I appreciate markets that have a good selection. I also like there location! Lots of options for parking either on the street (12th ave is closet but also kokohead ave or Waialae). There are 2 big parking lots (one is metered and one is gated) I would go to the gated one because it's free for less than 10 or 15mins but metered you need to put something in it. I will definitely be back to this market!

But I decided to give it another chance... I thoroughly enjoyed it! I think I came on an off day before. The scone was moist but not to the point where it was squishy and it went well with the cream cheese and nothing to complain about the size - their scones are huger than your average scone. Definitely thoroughly satisfied with the scone this time as opposed to my previous visit! I would recommend the blueberry cream cheese scone. I feel like all of their cakes are goated but that is sinful slices. If I ate that lemon crunch cake I'd have to run Diamond Head multiple times and starve myself to offset the calories *cries* LOL.

Went there close to 3pm so after the lunch rush hour and before dinner. I thought there were only…read moretwo women waiting for their orders (although there could have been food orders) so I was surprised when I found out there were people waiting in their cars that ordered before me (is that a thing? Order and then wait in an air conditioned car?). But I guess you have to be directly in front of the pick up order window to hear them call out your number and these three groups knew the trick. So I actually waited a while (one of the cars had four orders) since everything is cooked to order. Parking is okay, while it seems crowded at times people visiting the market are in and out quickly so there were times when there were many space and other times just one or two. The food was very good. We ordered the Teri beef steak (rib eye). There was enough meat for two meals in my plate. The greens are nice (not romaine or ice berg). I believe they put a mustard based dressing at the bottom and then the greens so at first glance it looks like they forgot the dressing. But they put a lot of it. The meat reminded me of my mother's barbecue meat that she made when I was little. Nostalgic. I also like the desserts in the market. The harpist/sweet potato w/ Mac nut crust is way better than the Foodland one (although a bit more expensive) I remember when this location used to be Burgerland. I enjoyed it then and still enjoy it.
