    Goodies!
    Cameron M.

    What a charming and fun bakery! We had dinner down the block and knew we had to stop in here for dessert. When we arrived we were warmly greeted and honestly the staff here is a highlight! The team behind the counter was fun and engaging. We decided to try the Pistachio and Pineapple cake as well as the Lemon Whoopee Pie and both were well prepared and tasty with just the right amount of sweetness that really allowed the flavors to shine. I really felt the prices were quite fair when taking the quality into account. I hope to make it back for some coffee on this trip and try a few more treats!

    This place is a splash of sunshine who loves what they do and you can tell all the love they put into their pastries and ice cream. Service is wonderful and everyone who we end up getting helped is so personable and positive. Their cakes are amazing, heck it all is! They one an ice coffee that is pretty good, the lady said it's her dads way to drink it. It's very good. The ambiance is "sunshine " and happy and clean and bright with some welcoming vibes. So happy to have found this place!

    Now that I work in Chinatown, it kind of gives me the opportunity to check out all the businesses around. I stumbled upon Mille Fete before my shift and wanted to grab coffee for a long shift. Mille Fete has a pastry counter full of creative pastires such as cakes, ice cream, pastry pockets, cookies, and so much more. Since I had around 15 minutes to kill, I tried their cake sale, which was a bite sized savory cake. They offered to heat it up and it was delicious. I also ordered their vietnamese coffee and i am obsessed! It isn't as chocolately as some, which this one I prefer. I've been wanting to try their pog cake for some time, but am waiting for the perfect opportunity to. I will definitely be back sooner for the coffee before work! follow my foodie adventures on ig: smolgirlfatass

    I got the chocolate lilikoi cookie and felt it was a nice sweet treat. The staff member there was really patient and helpful in answering my questions about the pastries. This is a nice place to grab and go or sit down and enjoy your treats.

    I probably come here way too often, but what can I say? When the baked goods are this delicious, how can you not?? They've got sweet and savory pastries, some spectacular cakes (my fav is the POG), and sourdough bread (that comes in a loaf!!), as well as some drinks/coffee. The menu usually features seasonal items but there are also OGs that are always there whenever I go--so much to choose from, it's always fun to trying something new! A skip and hop away from their their sister restaurant, Fetè, Mille Fete is another lovely addition to Chinatown. My go-to lil treats are their peanut butter whistles when I'm feeling sweet, and their chicken hand pies when I want something savory. I can never leave without getting a loaf of their sourdough bread either. The space itself is bright, clean, and minimal with a few seating areas. Service is always pretty quick, the staff is always so friendly!! There's a few street parking stalls out front but there's also multiple municipal lots around that area to choose from. A must visit when in Chinatown!!

    I tried everything I wanted and the two things I loved most were the bubu cookies and the cake salé. The bubu arare cookies are so light and buttery and crispy. I could eat the whole bag yikes! They remind me of these granny cookies that we used to order from St Joseph school in Waipahu a lifetime ago. And omg, the cake salé surprised me. Who would think an unassuming, petite thing could pack such a savory punch and blow me away. I absolutely loved this. There was a nice spice to it and the texture was perfection. Moist and just wonderful. It would pair well with any soup or stew. I just ate it for breakfast yum! I want to try and copy this, otherwise I'd totally get this catered. And yes, honorable mention- the POG slice was really good as well. I enjoyed the tartness and the "not too sweet" Asian rule lol. Also, when you hit a mandarin segment you feel like you hit the jackpot haha. But at $16 a slice that's pretty steep. It's probably laborious to make;) It's a treat for sure, just like Mille Fete however you pronounce it.

    This place has really cute chocolates and pastries, and I particularly like the one that has raspberry filling in it. The employees were really nice and welcoming too.

    Walking around Chinatown and Mille Fete caught our attention. Quite a few options - both savory and sweet - to choose from. After hearing descriptions and asking for recommendations, we went with the following: 1) Classic bell - upgraded version of a ding dong. Moist cake, dark chocolate, and not too sweet cream. Good choice. 2) Chocolate peanut butter whistle - better choice! Love the texture of the crunchy bits and the peanut butter. 3) Chocolate Lillikoi cookie - the cookie portion is more cake-like - reminiscent of the top of a cupcake. The combination of the chocolate with the tartness of the lillikoi was good. The sweets were not too sweet. The ice cream must be popular as we saw many ordering that - big scoops, too. Will have to return to try that next time. Friendly staff as well.

A Citrus Olive Oil Cake, Lemon Whoopie Pie w/Raspberry-White Chocolate Mascarpone & Lemon Cream, a Black & Lilikoi Cookie, n' a Kimchi Reuben Hand Pie from Mille Fête located in Chinatown, Honolulu. Sweet n' small, you'll find something for all!" SERVICE: fully staffed INTERIOR: some high stool n' low table seating, clean, modern n' minimalist aesthetic EXTERIOR: next door to Po'ai by Pono Potions, few low seating chairs outside WAIT TIME: was helped out immediately PARKING: metered street or nearby lot with QR code posted for payment OVERALL COMMENTS: place had a variety of sweet n' savory desserts n' pastries. Nice spot if you're looking for cute n' unique small bites. I came for the citrus olive oil cake that was delectable in taste n' texture; beautifully made. Lemon whoopie pie went perfectly with the raspberry filling n' bits of white chocolate; could definitely eat more pieces but made sure to slowly indulge each bite. The lilikoi in the black & lilikoi cookie was the star of the two flavors, tropical n' tart. The Kimchi Reuben hand pie was a savory satisfaction. Was a great addition to balance out the sweets. Will need to try out more items!

    Architecture, design, the entire lot so grateful they created this elevated bakery in Chinatown that I could bring for extra special treats for those extraordinary celebrations. Going in the afternoon was such a breeze. I can only imagine how packed this place gets and the heavy foot traffic it receives during the mornings and weekends. Shoutout to Amira and the entire crew. Can't wait to come back again :)

    Ever since late February, when Mille Fête Bakery opened in Chinatown, I've longed to experience the sumptuous baked goods by chef Robynne Maui, the chef/owner of Fête, a modern American restaurant, and winner of the 2022 James Beard Award for Best Chef of the Northwest & Pacific, and collaborator, New York City's gourmet pastissier partner, Katherine Yang. However, I finally made it to Chinatown this past week with my visiting relatives to try this new bakery. Upon entry into the extensively renovated former space of the 20+ year old restaurant, Little Village Noodle, we were struck by the sparkling glass pastry display cases, bright white walls featuring their beverages/frozen treats menu and baked goods (cakes, cookies, breads, and sandwiches) menu, banquet seating with small tables, a dine-in countertop with stools facing the large picture windows overlooking Smith Street. Behind the counter, a cheerful female worker greeted us and pointed out the refrigerated display case, with rotating ice cream or sorbet pints starting on the far right. We followed her along the display case as she pointed out their savory pastries, such as the Ludovico Chicken Hand Pies and Kimchi Reuben Hand Pies, leading to sweet treats such as the Pistachio Pineapple Coffee Cake, Pear Cranberry Calamansi Loaf, and Black & Liliko'i Cookies. After we decided on several pastries to go, we stayed and sat at the counter, where my brothers-in-law rehydrated with iced beverages while enjoying the cool, air-conditioned space. We ran into Chuck Bussler, chef Robynne Maii's husband, whom we met years ago while dining at their nearby Chinatown restaurant, Fête. Mr. Bussler was enthusiastic and beaming with pride as we congratulated him on his wife's James Beard Award win, opening this bakery, and maintaining their highly rated modern American restaurant, Fête. We decided to get the Ludovico Chicken Hand Pie, which is a tasty chicken pot pie filled with tender pasture-raised chicken in a creamy white sauce, complete with peas and carrots. It was a good thing that we cut them open before taking a bite, as my husband, who doesn't care for the taste of peas, managed to pick them out. $7. The other Kimchi Reuben Hand Pie was filled with mildly spiced gochugaru, tender corned beef dice, and pieces of kimchi cabbage. Its outside flaky crust was generously sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds. $7 However, my eyes caught sight of moist loaf slices of Pear-Cranberry and Calamansi, priced at $5 each. Mille Fête adapted the colorful, seasonal baked fruit quick bread slices to local tastes by adding calamansi, or Philippine Lime/Lemon. Each slice was glazed with a soft and not cloyingly sweet brown sugar icing. I couldn't wait to dig into this quick bread even though I was stuffed full with breakfast while sitting in the bakery. We're looking forward to returning to try a sandwich or other pastries with either a hot or cold beverage while relaxing in the bakery. The high quality ingredients, delicious flavors and perfect tender textures call out to us.

    Is today the day for coconut cake?  ...Or POG layer cake?

    Whenever I am in town grabbing an iced matcha from one of my favorites next door or dining up the street, have to stop by Mille Fete. Whether I say I'm only going to show guests the bakery or if I know I will buy one or two of my favorite "cake sale", I seem to always end up with more! Today Robyn Mai, Owner of Mille Fete and Fete Restaurant up the street was introducing me to the many wonderful breads baked there. Ended up taking out a gigantuous loaf of sour dough bread and two cake sale. Lol. Have also tried just about everything in the showcase. My sweet treat favorite is the olive oil citrus cake. Bursting with flavor, you will want a cup of coffee or tea close by to compliment. Also love the bubo cookies. Space is bright and inviting with the largest picture windows. Often decorated for the season. Beautiful Christmas trees decorated and line the entrance. Parking can be a challenge. There are a handful of metered parking just outside of bakery. There is also a municipal parking lot just a short half block away accessed on South Beretania St. And I am told that if you are going to just pickup your treasures to go, you can pull into one of their stalls in back. "I am only going to look" are words not to be taken too seriously here!

    Mille Fete, which translates to "a thousand celebrations," is a new bakery in Honolulu's Chinatown, which opened in February 2025. It is a collaboration between James Beard award-winning chef Robynne Maii of Fête restaurant and pastry chef Katherine Yang. Our cashier was very nice, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond in every way. She explained all the different pastries and desserts. They had cake, a black and white lilikoi (passion fruit) cookie, and empanadas. She informed us Mille Fete has a sister restaurant down the street, called Fete. Everything was fresh and the pastries were all so beautiful... I wanted to get everything! Lol. However, I was planning to eat my way through Chinatown and only ended up getting one pastry. I got the Citrus Olive Oil cake, which blew my mind! It was the best citrus olive oil cake I've ever had. It was topped with candied calamansi. We also got some coffee and coffee/soda drinks, and the carbonation provided an interesting contrast to the coffee. Our cashier even sat down and provided suggestions on what to do in Chinatown. Thank you for suggesting the Iolani Palace! We went and definitely enjoyed it. I look forward to coming back to Mille Fete the next time I am in Honolulu, and trying out Fete for lunch or dinner. Happy eating!

These fried, sugar-coated dough balls, often filled with custard or haupia, are beloved for their fluffy texture and association with tradition, especially "Malasada Day" (Fat Tuesday). And Leonard's Bakery malasadas are popular in Hawaii because they are served fresh, hot, and fluffy, establishing the Portuguese doughnut as a staple island treat since 1952. Founder Leonard Rego pioneered commercializing them, creating a cult following for the crisp-on-the-outside, doughy-on-the-inside treats. There's nothing like a nice, hot, and fresh malasada. At $2.20 each, there's just no point resisting.

We got the ones filled with Chocolate and Macadamia Nut custard. They're lusciously fluffy with just right sweetness for the filling. Worth trying for the experience.

However, there are many alternative malasada purveyors throughout Honolulu, so I depended on local vloggers to find the best ones. This one popped up often on YouTube, and as luck would have it, we were dining at The Pig & The Lady on the next block. How calorifically convenient. We took the opportunity to stop by for a pre-dinner snack since they closed at 6PM. It's a cute shop with multiple sweets including quite a selection of housemade ice cream and delectable mouthfuls called Cake Bombs (Photo 10). We decided we would be good and ordered one unfilled Malasada each. Dusted with various sugar flavors, they were just $2.65 a piece. I went for the Coffee, while Jamie chose the daily special, Cinnamon (Photo 6). They were soft and tasty, quite comparable to Leonard's albeit a tad smaller. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing since we had dinner ahead of us.

Yeah, very Beverly Hills (attempt, but likely wouldn't do well there), kinda "clicky" like vibe, snooty, haughty seeming like vibe, maybe a lil tad bit stuck up, and for the tiny little portion and "big show" , I probably would have liked it somewhat, but also would have felt guilty for paying a fortune to be treated that way lol This place likely won't be around in a year, by the vibe I'd say it's slow times (wonder why). I know I will, happy to spend even more down the road- so many to choose from, trust me this place ain't unique in my experience.

The only thing I didn't like was the Lima bean paste inside. I'm not a fan of that. I would recommend eating fast since it's fresh and the wetness of the mango can make the mochi soft and rip.
