    I'm happy Zippy's Restaurant decided to open in Hilo several years ago because along with them came Napoleon's Bakery. I sure do enjoy a slice of their Lilikoi chiffon cake or a delicious flaky pastry crust Napple turnover. Either an apple or coconut with my Kona coffee!

    This review is for malasadas only, but they are amazing!! Hot, fresh, melt in your mouth deliciousness. Worth going into the mall and waiting for them to be made.

    Apple pie with equal

    I've died and gone to bakery heaven lol. I love love love Napoleon's Bakery specially for their apple pie with equal and pumpkin pie with equal. The only thing that I was a little bummed out about was that this location was so far away from the Kona side and they only had the apple pie with equal and not the pumpkin pie with equal. The price was reasonable at $14 per pie. Overall, I love this chain and will be visiting the Maui location tomorrow :)

    So fresh and hot!!!

    Malasadas made to order in 6 minutes tops! Doesn't get better than that!! Choose either filled or sugar coated... Or both!! Cream puffs are also super yummy!! Friendly staff, no complaints here!

    The pastries are fresh. The malasadas are made to order. A good choice also for the bread pudding.

    Service is absolutely the worst in all of Hawaii. Pastries are so so. Certainly not worth putting up with the poor service

    We were craving malasadas and decided to try this place. Liked the truck on the side of the road way better than these.

Decided to give their macarons a try since my cousins said I should try it since they've gotten them during this year + last year's MIH and I can understand why. I will admit their macarons are a bit on the sweeter side but for me it isn't to the point where my teeth hurt so I was super happy about that. My absolute favorites from my box were the fruity pebbles, ube, oreo, & birthday cake because of how spot on they were flavor wise although for me the ube, oreo, & lilikoi flavors were a bit faint. For me the salted caramel was my least favorite but I think it's mostly because I've never tried actual salted caramel before so I wasn't sure what to expect. Despite this I'm hoping that next year I'll be able to try their cookie butter macaron since my cousins said that it was good but they were sold out of it by Saturday night when I went. As for the service I'm pretty sure it was one of the owner's daughters & her mom that I interacted with and they were so nice so definitely hope to see them again next year!

I knew there might be a line so I planned ahead and placed a phone order. There's a separate line of phone orders too which was really nice. But if you wait in line they do come out with samples - just saying. Also they have pre-packaged mochi packs - which make great gifts. I bought a bunch of mochi to take home to mainland (I froze it after buying) and took it to my parents house where we cut 10 pieces into 3 pieces to do a mochi tasting. Honestly all of them were great, but top 3 were: - shiso - I didn't know what to expect, but the flavors works so well together. Such a unique combo, with subtle shiso flavor! Highly recommend. - kamato - I didn't know if I'd like it so only got one piece.. after trying I wish I had more. - peach - this is my perfect mochi. The white filling just works and it's not too sweet. I know the strawberry is their #1 seller so I tried it and it's really good, it was maybe my 5th favorite of the mochis tried. All in all a great mochi shop that's I'll definitely visit again!

The mochi is made fresh daily, and it's highly encouraged to place an advance phone order prior to pickup so the shop can manage the high demand. The space at the front counter is very limited, so expect a wait outside to order and/or pickup. Their fruits menu changes seasonally, so we just had to try 1 of each item: - Strawberry - Mandarin Orange - D'anjou Pear - Bing Cherry - Green Grape - Cotton Candy Grape - Nectarine - Strawberry Short Cake We also had to order their Peach and Lilikoi flavors. Everything was so pillowy soft and mochi-licious!

    I'm really glad I checked, the day I had planned to visit the shop downtown, what time they closed,…read moreand I'm glad I checked at 2:45, since the answer is: 3. I'm also glad I happened to be a couple blocks away at that time, cause it would've stunk if I'd missed out! They have a whole range of great chocolates, from 55-90 percent that were all great, a fantastic matcha chocolate, great dried fruit chocolates, and one very good, *very* spicy dark chocolate (I loved it enough to buy a bar, but much more so than most pepper chocolates I've had, it does *not* play around.) Definitely also loved that they had samples of basically everything they sell. Also loved, we learned, it was actually the chocolatier himself running the shop when we were there, so all our questions were being answered directly from the source. It also worked out in that they didn't actually *have* any bars of the spicy chocolate out, as he'd just made a new batch and hadn't packaged them yet, so when he learned we were leaving the next day, he pressed one for me right then and there! How's that for great service?

    So glad we stumbled upon this little gem during our travels! The owners were so friendly and all…read morethe samples were delicious. Since it was hot and we were traveling by car, we opted for the cacao nibs and THEY ARE INCREDIBLE. We had them on ice cream paired with molten lava cake and I'm still thinking (drooling) about it. Lots of options for gifts and the staff will make great recommendations.

    Cute little bakery with lots of sweet treats. Went to Short n Sweet on a rainy Hilo day, so the…read moreshop was empty and there were lots of pastry options available. 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. :)

In fact, except Madam Pele does NOT necessarily keep to the same schedule as the bakery, would try to time my Volcano drives to coincide with Friday, Saturday, or Sunday! Hahah. Today got a sampling of Mediterranean scones (savory with olives and delicious seasonings), croissants, danish, and my favorite... the ube cruffin. Holy Moly Batman... that one item was worth the drive alone! Since there really wasn't any real estate in our tummies, we split everything 3 ways... over the course of the next few hours. Two weeks later, still thinking about that ube cruffin! Would definitely do a repeat on that as well as the Medeterranean scones while trying other items. And as the nice couple infront of us in line mentioned, will have to return for the sister deli across the parking lot. Heard it was featured in Guy Hagi's food vlog. And if its good enough for Guy Hagi its where I want to be my next mealtime!
