    Yep I went back for more. Again buying all flavors of their mochi donuts enough to make 2 dozen this time. Still amazed by how inexpensive it is. Service is always friendly and quick. Small little bakery filled with happiness just off the highway.

    Mochi donut heaven!! Amazing bakery. ***show up early if you want any selection***. We showed up at 6:40am and already 8-10 people in front of us. Donuts are amazing the butter horn was so good. And all the baked goods look great. The people were super sweet. But struggled with order and using machine to process payment. lol. The line moved slow. But so worth it!! Best bakery on island. At least that we tried so far. Cool little bakery with lots of goodies and prices not bad. 2.50 a donut.

    Mochi donuts: taro, lychee, churro, peach

    **Get here early if you want croissants. They tend to sell out around 9-10am** A must visit if coming to Big Island or Hilo. We drove here all the way from Kona twice during our 1 week stay. Our fav is the original taro mochi donut. All the other mochi donut flavors, though good, tend to be too sweet for our Asian taste. The donuts have such a pleasant mochi chewy texture and are very dense! If you have an air fryer, toast them for a bit and they get all hot and crispy--delicious! We also love the pastrami croissants. There's so much meat in them!!

    lilikoi, lychee

    amazing mochi donuts, they were so soft and bouncy. we got lilikoi (passionfruit) and lychee and they were only like $2 each

    Try their Best Sandwiches. 3 flavors to choose from.

    I LOVE THE PASTRY AND EVERYTHING IN THERE AND ESPECIALLY THEY HAVE THAT NEW SANDWICH ( NEW !!! ) They get 3 flavors Strawberry and cream Sandwich, Banana and Cream, Banana and chocolate sandwich, They're soooo Delicious . Delicious and Everything made with love, not just only that the customer service it's splendid, hospitality and sweet , communication it's 100%. I would recommend this place for a thousand times.

    We enjoyed ourselves at the bakery today. I grew up in this area, so this bakery is very well known. Coming back here after 10 years, the food only got better. Highly recommend trying the mochi donuts or butter rolls. The butter horns are also very soft and delicious. Always great service here and the employees are very friendly. Support small local businesses, so this is great!

    One box of two - hotdog roll, turner over, guava danish, chocolate danish, manju (this was delish - stone cookie batter with azuki inside)

    5 stars all the way...first of all driving up to Bakery you stepped back into time, time literally stands still as you approach the bakery. We got there on Saturday morning and they don't open till 7:30am so we had a little wait, but had like 2 other people in front of us and when we left there was a line out the door (mix of local and tourist). Very small bakery with two showcases, one with their every popular Stone Cookies and the other with limited selection of pastries and mini pies (don't let the limited selection fool you, it was all YUMMY). Prices are reasonable for a baked goods (see picture with prices). We went to initially purchase stone cookies for my mom (those are her favoriet) ended up with bags of stone cookies (they now have a soft version) and 2 boxes of baked goods (which didn't make it down the drive to Hilo). A must is their mini pies and pastries, everything was NOT too sweet and just right, don't let the limited selection fool you, its all worth the wait in line and drive up the mountain. Definitely going back when we on the Big Island.

    So we went to grab coffee nearby after leaving KMC lodge. We want to try stone cookies since it is famous. The woman who is in the registry is really rude. I am a customer asking why i was being over charged for $42 while the cookies i am trying to purchase is only $18. She also entertained the lady on my back while i am still looking if my card was charged for the $42. I am local in Oahu and active military and i never experienced this in other stores. That's not how you welcome customer. I also told her ma'am with all the respect i am just recommending that she needs to pay attention to customers but she was arguing to me instead.

    Heard there were mochi donuts in the Big Island?! Say whaaat. It's located in a little "drive thru" street with small shops around in Mountain View. There's barely any front store parking but there are street and next door shop parkings. My roommate wanted to grab these famous Stone Cookies that her cousin requested for. Not knowing that these bags of cookies were sold LITERALLY everywhere in Hilo (lol), we made the trip down. Luckily, I also found out that they sold mochi donuts! YUM. They actively post on Facebook/Instagram with their donut flavors of the day. It's highly, highly recommended to do call in or DM them on IG (with confirmation and reply from them) because the mochi donuts run out QUICK. Their donuts are really moist (a tad on the sweeter side depending on the flavor) and delicious. They are definitely on par with Oahu and Japan ones! I bought Stone Cookies back to Oahu as souvenir for my friends and family. Tasted a soft (NOT SO SOFT LOL) and chocolate chip (LITERALLY STONE) cookies, and there wasn't much flavor. Tasted like a fortune cookie, tbh. I felt that these cookies are great souvenir gifts to those who enjoy a not-so-sweet plain cookie with their milk or coffee. Mochi donuts here are hands down really good. Definitely worth the trip down and also great for parties! There are other bakery goods but my eyes were only on the donuts and cookies. Will try the other baked goods next time!

At first glance, it may look like other small, local shops, with locally made products and a few interesting goods to browse. (I ended up buying the last 'I'iwi bird pin they had on display, which I loved!) After reading some other reviews, I realized we may have just gotten lucky because the owner happened to be in that day. Let me say this upfront: they advertise slow black coffee and they mean it! The owner (Brian?) takes his time with each customer, chatting with you to understand what you're looking for and making some suggestions. It's clear he enjoys both his craft and engaging with customers. It was not very busy while we were there, which added to that relaxed, Hawaiian vacation vibe. We really enjoyed the conversation with him and even walked away having learned a few new things. We took our coffee and other purchases to enjoy on the bench outside, along with some stone cookies from nearby. (There were also additional tables and chairs available on a side patio.) Overall, we loved both the experience and the coffee, and we will definitely plan to stop by again the next time we are in the area!

The shop keeper was friendly and patient as I browsed the pastry case. I've always been curious about the Dubai chocolate bar, so I decided to splurge and give it a try. Very pricey at $16 for a 4-5" bar, but it was worth it to try it once. The chocolate was smooth and high quality, the pistachio cream was sweet with a hint of pistachio flavor, and the kataifi was pleasantly crunchy. I would have loved more pistachio flavor, but it was a nice little chocolate treat. Looking forward to trying more things from Short n Sweet in the future. Will definitely be back when I want to treat myself to a gourmet dessert. :)

At the rate people were buying, this house of flour, water, yeast, and salt would be out of bread in no time. We got two focaccia slices: goat cheese roasted pepper basil and an ali'i mushroom garlic. Both were chewy but airy at the same time. The mushroom was spicier than expected requiring bites of the goat cheese slice to cool the palete. The roasted peppers and basil added extra flavors to the richness of the goat cheese. Both were delicious, large slices of bread, and you should absolutely make a stop here, just make sure they're open. And get there early. These Hilo natives love their bread and there may not be much left if you get there late! For those of you familiar with Honolulu's famous Breadshop in Kaimuki, this may be slightly better, but don't take my word for it. Parking in whatever street parking you can find.

I stepped in the tiny storefront and placed my custom order and then grabbed a tray of buttermochi that was ready to go. After paying, I asked how long was the wait time and the cashier said 20-30 minutes. Instead of standing around, I went back to the car and hung out with BIL and watched for the people who were before me to get their orders and leave. I waited outside for about 5 minutes before they called my name and my mochi order was ready to go. There were some tourists who came by who didn't want to wait for 30 minutes and were ready to turn around and leave, but I told them there were ready made packages that they could grab and go, the rest of us were waiting on custom orders. They were really happy to hear that and they bought their mochi and headed out. I will definitely call ahead next time I go to Hilo, the wait is small kine humbug, but the mochi is oh so ono!

The place was festooned with Bible quotes, Biblical vignettes in the windows, and the three flags of Christian Nationalism garishly out front - the US flag, the Israeli flag, and the nationalist "Plea To Heaven" flag. All paradoxically in tatters and never taken in for good keeping. It did not give off a welcome Biblical vibe though - just one of "agree with us or take it down the road." The kitchen and counter personnel were usually fairly nice people who gave great service. The owners, when they were present, gave off something entirely different. Like you were inconveniencing them by being there. Short tempered and terse if they took your order. If you read the earlier comments, you will hear of them coming unhinged and screaming at some customer about something either overblown, or imagined. They refused to pay their employees properly, with something even close to a living wage. When the Hawaii legislature finally hiked the minimum wage, they stuck out an alarmist notice written in childish green marker that they were sooooo sorry but they "had to" raise their prices a bit because the mean old Hawaii house raised the wage. And of course taxes under Biden, yada yada. In the end, the ELC was a victim of the owners' disposition. It's a very bad business model indeed, when politics, religion and greed actually get in the way of doing business. My best wishes to the employees, I really hope they can find something decent to replace this experience. For the self righteous, sanctimonious greed of the owners and operators - as Jesus said, "Yeah verily, you have your reward."
