    When I first inquired about the cake. Gal said it would be $70/ $55 for a 1/2 sheet cake and the…read moredecorations is $15 for the Doc Mcstuffin theme. There was also supposed to be a 10% craigslist discount. After seeing the many decorated cakes on her fancy website and inquiring with Gal, i figured the cake would be pictured with our theme; it would be decorated as doc Mcstuffin and as she indicated there would be a few toppers. I wanted to ensure that i was able to get a cake with this decoration for my daughters birthday since a 2 tier/3D fancy cake could not meet our budget. I contacted Gal on 3 occasions to confirm pricing, purchasing and pick up. I thought during this time, she took my order and unfortunately we were not on the same page. I sent my husband down there to pay $70 for the cake. However, she made him look thru a book of 1"x1" pictures of cakes and choose cake toppers to add to the cake. The toppers were $5 each, for the exception of one that was 1/2 the size. Anyhow, the cake came out to $90. I had to call her and asked why the cost was different then what she quoted me? She said "your husband chose all the cake toppers." I told her that i gave her my order and he was supposed to just taste the cake, choose a flavoring and pay for the cake. Anyhow, I didn't have time get into it and just left it at that. Fast foward to Scarlet's 2nd birthday. See the cake for your self. It was a regular lightly flowered-decorated cake with toppers on it. Really? I could have paid $25 for a Costco cake and order cake toppers on amazon for half the price. What does flowers have to do with our theme? What a disapooinment. She couldn't paint a stethoscope, doctor bag or bandaid on the cake? Her website shows all the other cakes decorated as themed. Unfortunately, the taste of the cake wasn't amazing either. There was a very thin layer of the flavoring that you get to choose from a selection of 5. Everyone kept asking what it was. It was supposed to be guava strawberry and unfortunately it tasted like a cheap version of guava jelly. The whip cream was too sweet as well. The cake separated at this layer too. It was cake, guava/strawberry flavoring/ cream/cake and it was falling apart while serving. The cake was in the house the entire time. It was hot though, but i don't believe that was the reason for the separation. Moral of story... Open communication. Make sure you know what you are buying. Maybe ask for a bigger picture that will be exactly what you are looking for. Ask for direct cost and not a generic quote.

    This store and Gail is amazing! She is awesome in making cakes come to life! We were so very lucky…read more to have met her! she made our wedding cake exactly how we envisioned it and more! The flavors she did the cake with were mouth watering and yummy! It was more than we imagined! The whole cake was beautiful! She not only communicated with us to ensure we were getting what we wanted she even held a tasting and my husband loved it! Her guidance and knowledge in combining flavors and frostings to ensure it would hold in this hawaii weather were invaluable! We were blessed to have found her! She also recently did our daughters sweet 16 masquerade themed cake! And boy she rocked it! It was truly beautiful and she displayed the theme perfectly! Our daughter was very happy! Not only does her cakes look Amazing but they taste like nothing you have tasted before! She is a very professional woman and we highly highly recommend her for all of your cake needs!

    The service at this store is genuinely helpful and kind. True aloha spirit…read more The knowledgeable and friendly man in the seafood department is so wonderful. He went out of his way to offer great suggestions for my seafood boil. He came out from behind his counter to show me different products. I really appreciated his professionalism. He clearly worked hard at his job and was conscientious about doing his best. The friendly woman helping the self checkout customers impressed me. She went out of her way to volunteer coupons to scan for the items in my cart and also told me I could get a free fresh daily baked French bread because of their 4-6 pm special. The man stocking the shelves went out of his way to walk us to find the small jar of guava jam. The people who work at this store are consistently outstanding.

When you first enter you're greeted by their Floral Shop nicely decorated with fresh flower's, lei's, and arrangements. Lots of different balloons to help you celebrate your special occasions. To your right they put some of their Hot Specials front and center. Past the Floral department is the Produce section and then their Seafood and Meat departments. Traveling along the back aisle you'll pass the Grocery section and then on to the Dairy, Bakery, and Deli sections. Check out options are the Self Serve and In Person Cashiers. Definitely worth a visit for your everyday needs and wants

    Dole whip! Need I say more? We were staying next door at…read morethe villas but stopped by for some dole whip. It was delicious and a generous portion, perfect for 2 to share. Service was quick. There is plenty of seating outside although it was extremely busy.

    This is a great spot by the pool for counter service. I will admit that the wait times can be…read moresurprisingly long, but since nearly everything is made to order, it stands to reason. Which I guess is a good thing. The pizza is only okay. One day, Disney will figure out pizza, but this was not that day. It's fine. It's serviceable. But I don't see it making anyone's top 10. I'm sure kids won't complain though. Their fresh made bowls are where it's at though! During my stay, I tried one of each: poke, noodle, and açai. Each one was super fresh, very filling, and delicious. I would definitely order each again! Beware the "hot" chicken & avocado salad sandwich! It's not "hot" like "Nashville hot," but temperature hot! It's just not what we were expecting. The texture was odd as well. I kind of liked it all that said, but just know what you're getting into. The ice machine wasn't working one day, which was also strange, and waiting on your food can take 15 minutes sometimes. The bowls are made right in front of you so they're much faster. And there are takeaway sandwiches and salads too. So it doesn't have to take long to get your meal. There are a handful of picnic-sized benches, and most of the traffic is to-go orders. But it's comfortable enough to eat there. We never had a problem finding or sharing a spot. Overall, it's a solid option with a limited menu and freshly made food. Good for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
