Unicorn cupcake cake

Super yummy cupcakes and beautiful work of art. The owner was attentive to my requests and flexible with the date. Mahalo for the quick responses and delicious and most beautiful unicorn cupcake cake. The kids loved it!

Strawberry box

Legendary taste, made ordering a breeze with ordering via text and paying via Venmo. I was able to surprise my fiancé with a sweet treat for his birthday from 4K miles away! Would recommend this local company.

Best cupcakes ever!!! Here's my review that's been long past due. We've been coming to enjoy these delicious cupcakes for about a year now. The first time we saw her truck was in front of Mililani Walmart and from then on we haven't stopped. These are the best cupcakes ever!!! She has more flavors than you can remember and she keeps coming up with more! It's so hard to have a favorite, maybe you can get away with a top 20. Maxe is the most sweetest kindest person ever and is the genius behind Legendary Taste. Not only does she make cupcakes but she makes maxerons, illuminatis, chocolate dipped strawberries, brownies, cookie dough truffles, pumpkin oatmeal white chocolate chip creme filled sandwiches, bouquets, custom cakes, the list goes on and on she is just AMAZING!!! If anyone ever see's her truck or postings for orders I highly recommend getting any of her cupcakes or just about anything she sells.

Taraji P. Henson
Elmarie M.

Instagram worthy! This food truck has the most beautiful and yummy looking items. I haven't specifically tried the cupcakes, but I did try the shakes. I ended up getting the Taraji P. Henson. It's an Oreo shake with a bunch of goodies. When I first got it, I wasn't sure if I could finish it (I didn't). The shake itself was perfect. It wasn't overwhelmingly sweet, it was just right. The treats were all yummy, but if you take a while to eat it, then it starts to feel unappetizing. As for the price, it was $18 for one. It's a lot for just a shake, but if you split it with a friend it'll be worth it. Since I didn't finish mine, I ended up putting it in the freezer and eating it the next day. The shake was still yummy. Overall, I would go back again, but I would definitely share with someone.

My fabulous dozen

I have the biggest sweet tooth in the world. So can you imagine how exhilarated I was to hear that, the "baddest cupcake dealer on the block" would be in my hometown, Mililani. These cupcakes are the most flavorful and well presented cupcakes I have ever had. She definitely captures the flavor of each cupcake. If you order the chocolate covered strawberry cupcake, that's exactly what you'll get, a cupcake that tastes just like a chocolate covered strawberry. She offers a very wide variety of cupcakes, all with cute creative names. It can be hard to choose with so many flavors so I like to check her Instagram to see if the daily flavors are posted. If you haven't had a Legendary Taste cupcake, then you really haven't had a cupcake... so what are you waiting for?

Tattooed turtle and 24k salted caramel.
Nichole F.

One of the best cupcakes I've ever had! So moist, so delicious, super sweet, best frosting I've ever had. So I had the "tattooed turtle" which had the most interesting frosting. And it was so on point and so delicious. I loved every bite. I only wish they had water. I even had the salted caramel which is one of the best salted caramel cupcakes I've ever had by far. I hate comparing to other stores but so far I've been to Sugarlina, Hokulani, and that other cupcake truck that I saw at Damien. But this was just in genius! So delicious, so on point. Good job!

-Huge variety -Amazing attention to detail -My favorites are: Coconut Couture, Carrot Cake, 24 kt Salted Gold.

Custom Hello Kitty Mermaid cupcakes for  my Baby shower.
Melanie G.

From my first bite into on of her delisious treats I was beyond hooked. There is a reason Max is known to be your neighborhood cupcake dealer. Her sweet treats leave you hooked. Every time I fly home, I go out of my way to stalk her Ig and find out where her truck will be next. I came home to have my baby shower, and couldn't think of anyone better to make the shower cupcakes. Her creativity matches the divine flavors with in every bite. Almost to beautiful to eat, like eating amazing tasting art. Everyone couldn't get enough of the cup cakes and Maxerons she whipped up. What I love is that every visit to the truck she has come up with some new unique flavor combo that leaves you hooked all over again. Just writing this review leave my mouth watering. Soon as she starts shipping to the Mainland ill be the first to order. If you haven't been down, your truly missing out on a pleasant experience.

Strawberries

I could not recommend these cupcakes more! I normally keep an eye on her Instagram to see what holiday creations she will be having and pre order them. On pick up day she has multiple meeting locations which is so convenient. Not to mention the cupcakes taste the exact flavor she says, I don't know how she does it! Best chocolate covered strawberries too!

Coconut Cheesecake and Bitchin' Beauty Brule
Alie S.

The cupcakes at Legendary Taste are amazing! The cupcakes are beautiful and delicious. Creative names and such a huge variety it's difficult to choose. My favorites: - Bitchin' Beauty Brulee - Coconut or Caramel Cheesecake - Tattooed Turtle I'm giving 4 stars because the quality of cupcakes are always on point but was recently disappointed when a planned trip to Mililani to get cupcakes didn't happen. She posts on IG when and where she will be, so the day before she posted she'd be there at 1pm the next day. First the times changed then she didn't go to Mililani at all due to a "business meeting."

Simply amazing!
Stephanie K.

We stopped by while on our vacation based on Yelp reviews. We were beyond impressed. She is super helpful/patient as we couldn't make up our minds. We told her it was my husbands birthday and she threw in an extra cupcake. I tried to tip her and she refused it! Oh and the cupcakes were simply incredible!!! Great experience!

There are a few things that can make a bad day turn its course around & one of those things are cupcakes (for me anyway). I'm not going to give Legendary Taste the creditability of Hokulani Bakery, but they do score extra points for creativity and variety of flavors & by variety, I mean over 30 cupcakes to choose from (where else might one find that kind of selection?!) I am going to (hesitantly) admit I'm a bit of a prude. I was kind of surprised on my first visit to this mobile cupcake truck to see the person that makes these cupcakes is covered in tattoos and some facial piercings. Honestly, she doesn't appear to be the little miss baker that she truly is. She bakes her cupcakes overnight and the next day at about noon she drives over to the spot she'll be selling these for the day, recently it's been in the Mililani area so you should call or text her to find out. It is best to come earlier in the day when they first set up since they tend to sell out of their more popular items. Once you order your cupcakes the frosting and flare are topped on so it takes a while if you're ordering say a box of 6 ($15) or 12 ($30). The presentation of these cupcakes will stimulate your appetite but the frosting will lose its hold within a few hours. I tried to preserve them in the fridge once but the prettiness slightly melted away within 4 hours. The cupcakes are a little dry and aren't very moist, but the frosting is what makes up for it. If you don't care too much for sweets, the frosting may be an overload for you. My favorite one is: What the French Toast, it's a french toast cupcake dipped in cinnamon sugar topped with maple butter cream and bacon crumbles. My favorite cookies are snicker-doodles and this very much resembles them. Another favorite: Caramel cheesecake, if you're a caramel lover, like I am, you NEED to try this one. My least favorite: root beer float, it tastes like a root beer float and I LOVE root beer floats, but the flavor combination of the cupcake and frosting just didn't work and left a bad taste in my mouth. Don't let the truck or owner's appearance scare you away, it's what's in this cupcake truck that you'll find so many reasons why life doesn't have to be as complicated as you make it out to be (well at least momentarily that is).

Macaroons.. Fantastic
Sarah C.

I LOVE THIS TRUCK! I knew when I found it- it was going down. Timberrrrrrrr. My kids wanted the intense flavors like, fruity pebbles, random colorful sounding ones, and rainbow macaroons. The two women running the truck had no problem taking their ridiculously specific requests. I'm down with that. However, there is one. The cookie dough cupcake is the truth. I'm Pretty sure I blacked out while eating it. I can't even give a proper review, because I can't find the words the describe it. What's worse? I was BRINGING them to someone's house, and I couldn't even lie about the cupcake. How can you show up to a party with a 5 pack? That's not even a thing. And you know how it is. I got in the car, and they were in the trunk. It was maybe 6 minutes away, because the stop signs can get backed up. I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW THEY GOT UP FRONT. I just can't. It happened. It started with a minor frosting infraction. Nobody would notice, right? I would be able to claim it, and they wouldn't even know I savagely dipped my finger in the frosting and smoothed it over. Except it got worse. There was almost no frosting left when I blacked out. I blamed my kids. What a horrible person. And when I went to the bathroom HOURS later, the frosting was still on my chin, reminding me that I am out of control and lack integrity. What's the moral of the story? EAT THESE CUPCAKES AND MACAROONS.

Made my husband stop for our second time (this time with a friend too) and they decided these cupcakes changed their life. Haha

We ordered the Ahi Poke Bowl and the Loco Moco, and both were incredibly satisfying and flavorful.

It was crunchy. The fries were pipping hot and very tasty. We also tried a plate with some nice poke and coconut shrimp. The food is good quality and hits the spot. The problem was the amount of time it took to make and deliver the food to the customers. There were two people in the truck. It was as if they were cooking one thing at a time. It look at least an hour and there were not even that many people in line waiting. One woman was taking orders and the man was cooking. The woman said it was her first or second day but in the time my husband ordered, my other child and I walked around for twenty minutes looking for other options (I wanted garlic shrimp, and they did not offer that on their menu), I went across the way after our walk, ordered a meal, got my meal, and sat there waiting to eat and it still look half an hour for the rest of the family to receive their orders. It was absolutely ridiculous. As another patron stated on Yelp, perhaps they should have stopped taking orders if they could not keep up. Love the food here, but not sure I would recommend my family coming back next time.

I'm normally not the biggest fan of shrimp, so I don't usually gravitate towards it. But I wish I wasn't so stubborn because the few bites I had of both the Butter Garlic Shrimp and Spicy Garlic Shrimp completely changed my mind. Since I'm not the biggest spice person, I preferred the butter garlic option. The shrimps aren't peeled, but they're butterflied, which makes them much easier to peel. The shell itself is packed with flavor, though, so I recommend sucking it before removing. The rice was flavorful, and the salad on the side was refreshing. I simply regret not ordering a plate of shrimp for myself. I'm a lazy person and don't like peeling shrimp, but this was worth peeling for.

BACKGROUND ON JENNY'S SHRIMP:…read more Jenny's Shrimp Truck began as a small, family-run business with a simple mission: to serve the freshest, most flavorful shrimp on the North Shore. Jenny, the founder, was inspired by the rich seafood culture of Hawaii and wanted to share her love for local flavors with the community. Armed with a secret garlic butter recipe passed down through generations, she set out to create something truly special. In the early days, Jenny's food truck was nothing more than a converted van with a makeshift kitchen, parked along the scenic roads of Haleiwa. She focused on using locally sourced shrimp, ensuring that every plate was as fresh as possible. Word quickly spread about the delicious shrimp dishes, and soon, both locals and tourists were lining up to get a taste. JENNY'S SHRIMP TRUCK MISSION STATEMENT: A Taste of Hawaiian Paradise Nestled in the heart of Haleiwa, Hawaii, Jenny's Shrimp Truck is a must-visit destination for seafood lovers looking for a true taste. BACKGROUND ON VISIT: This was part of our Dole Plantation/Haleiwa tour that we signed up for. Lunch wasn't provided so this was on our own dime. CREDIT CARDS: They're accepted, but they tack on a transaction fee. RESTROOM: There's a restroom next door. AMBIANCE/DECOR: Not much ambiance, but they do have tables and chairs setup in their covered patio. SERVICE: Service was alright. Didn't take long for our food to come out. FOOD OF CHOICE: Garlic shrimp plate which came with rice and a slice of pineapple. Enjoyed the shrimp. It was quite tasty and easy to peel. I had a nice time eating the rice with their signature garlic sauce. SHRIMP TRUCK FOR THOUGHT: I would love to come back to have it again.

Second part was the staff was extremely uncommunicative. I understand they're running a big business a lot of customers, but they're just taking the orders. Daughters were not coming in the right order. The folks who came after me got their orders. We didn't get the kind of order that we asked for even though we mentioned what we want how we want it was super rainy muddy they didn't care to do any arrangements for the customers to be comfortable the path was so slippery that I saw many people fall down in rain. I know it's a great experience to be around that area to have food on the food truck, but safety is another main concern that every business owner should consider looking into I ordered the spicy and hot shrimp. I can take more spice, but there wasn't any flour. I failed. The shrimp was undercooked and the rice was extremely mushy. Looks like it was left in water for a while to become that way if the name is carrying the weight of the business, I expect the quality to follow as well. No wonder the ratings of this specific location is lower than the other one. And that experience of ambience was. Unhealthy and untidy.
