La Palme D'Or patisserie is located on the Macys end of Ala Moana mall next to a barbershop. The…read morestore is quite small and got packed with people as we were in there. They have beautiful displays of fancy desserts and on shelves cookies and Madeleines. I picked a few fruity desserts to try macarons, lemon tart, mango pudding, tropical fromage. I wanted to get their fruit tart but the fruit on top looked dry and not as pretty and glossy. My favorite was the tropical fromage which was light and airy with a really nice fruit flavor. The mango panna cotta was my second favorite which included the mango bits on top - a nice touch - and the cream nice and rich. Lemon tart had an odd taste to it. Should have went with the mush peach tart that didn't look as appetizing but probably better. The macarons were my least favorite especially the yuzu and passion fruit flavors that didn't taste anything like those fruits. For $2.50 I wish they were better and not as dry. I am glad I tried them but the prices were a bit much for me.

Kulu Kulu is a small bakery located on the second floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center. I noticed it…read morewhen I was eating malasadas one morning and saw a small girl carrying around the cutest slice of rainbow cake. I was too full at the moment to order more food, but I returned on my last evening in Oahu to order a slice of rainbow cake for myself. It was somewhat early in the evening -- probably around 6PM or so -- so the Royal Hawaiian Center food court was getting a little busy but there were still empty tables around. The bakery itself had a few people in line so I perused the display case for other desserts. They had quite a few interesting ones: lilikoi basque cheesecake, Diamond Head puff custard, ube cake. Unfortunately, my appetite is much smaller than it once was, but the cakes looked delicious and the people in front of me all ordered their cakes ahead of time, so they are quite in demand! The cashier took my order quickly and I was able to get a slice of rainbow cake, which had fluffy cream and moist layers of colorful cake. The flavor reminded me of fruity pebbles, but without being overly sweet the way children's cereal used to be. I really liked eating it because it didn't make me feel guilty eating a dessert. I hope I can return to Kulu Kulu sometime and try their other desserts a well!

My original Lady M review is in Waikiki Tea because they are located inside. When you walk by on…read moreBeach Walk, you'll see a board saying Lady M with photos of their famous crepe cakes. The awning above will say Waikiki Tea. It's immediately after an open parking lot if you're walking or driving down the one way street. I'm not sure if you can park in there or not but I found loading zone parking so I parked there and walked over. When you enter, you'll see some indoor seating, the coffee prep area and a display case of some of their cakes. It's a cozy spot but clean and white. My most recent visit was to pick up a birthday cake for a friend. He's been talking about it so I figured it would be something nice to surprise him with. Hopefully he enjoys the surprise and is able to share the cake with all his loved ones. Due to the holidays, Lady M is busy and sells out so preordering is best. I was just extremely lucky they had a Signature cake available the day I called. The person on the phone took down my info and asked what time I was going to pick up the cake then put it on the side for me. Unfortunately, they don't hand write Happy Birthday on the cake but they did provide me a complimentary Happy Birthday cake topper which was nice. Overall great cake option for any occasion.

Lady M on Beach Walk in Waikiki! What a gem!!! It's a small cake boutique next to towering hotels…read moreso it can be said missed. It doesn't look much from the outside. They have 3 free parking stalls. You can also find street parking either on Beach Walk or Saratoga Road. I walked in and was greeted with a friendly smile. His name is Kevin. You will also see a wide selection of Royce Chocolates display on the right side of the wall and in front of you the glass display of the world's famous Mille Crêpes. Kevin helped us decide on our black box Royce Chocolates. It's a little pricey but the black quality of the chocolate is divinely melt in your mouth full of rich, creamy goodness and delicious chocolate!!! Royce' is famous for the Nama chocolates all the way from Japan. But guess what?! You don't need to fly to Japan to get your hands on them! Just drive yourself to Beach Walk in Waikiki and I guarantee you'll thank me for it!! Yup, you will! ;) We also picked up a few flavors of the Lady M Mille Crêpes. We got Amedei Chocolate, Pistachio, Chestnut and Tiramisu. Each layers of the cake is made with perfection!!! I paired mine with an ice caramel macchiato. It would probably taste better with a hot caramel macchiato but it was a little sunny so I opted for the ice drink. The coffee is also sooo good!!! It almost remind me of the coffee I had in France! I thought I'd never find a better caramel macchiato here in Honolulu than Starbucks! I was completely wrong! Kevin, thank you so much for making my first visit so memorable! You were kind with a friendly smile and lots of aloha!!! Come visit Lady M! Whether you come in for their world's famous Mille Crêpes, Royce' chocolates or meet Kevin, I know you'll love this place! Thank you for reading my review. Have a great week!!!

Such a gorgeous gorgeous cafe!!…read more Side note: It is two businesses in one shop. Cafe Lapin and CakeM. The drinks were not only good but look beautiful too! The fruit tart I had was not too sweet either which is perfect! Plenty of fruits, cream, and tart pastry ratio. 10/10 spectacular! The vibes here were also so calming. Great place to study or just chat with friends. There's a few seatings indoor but a lot more outside.

Restrooms are located outside and you need a code. There is valet parking, or you can attempt street or walmart if you are daring. We ordered a mini strawberry cake and a slice of chocolate cake, along with a tiramisu cup. Total for 3 desserts $28 and change. They may look small, but they are filling and not too sweet. Strawberry: excellent light fluffy sponge, sweet strawberries, and whipped cream 10/10 Tiramisu: chocolate forward, wish there was more coffee flavoring, sponge on the bottom was super saturated, and a little gritty. 5/10 Chocolate cake: Beautiful, fluffy looking but actually dense sponge. Good chocolate flavor, not too sweet. 4/10 The woman working was nice, the young man with her, not so much.

Halekulani Bakery is a light, bright, wood-lined bakery featuring treats including croissants, muffins, and coffee. My waifu, Sherly M., told us to come here. As someone who doesn't eat too many sweets, even I found myself falling in love with this place. After a few hours at the beach, we popped into the Halekulani Bakery for a pick-me-up and some treats. $8 Salted Caramel Croissant, $7.50 Chocolate Croissant, $8.50 Guava Matcha, and a $7.50 White Mocha were ordered. AMAZING after a morning on the beach. The drinks were smooth and the croissants were flaky and delicious. I thought the salted caramel croissant would end up being too rich or too sweet but it was perfect with the earthiness of the guava matcha I was drinking. I need to get their coconut cake slice the next time I'm there!

Never to disappoint the display is just slightly bare showing it had a fabulous day BUT it still had the necessities Donuts and several more highlighting the FALLbulous items I was excited to see. Grabbed four items the classic glazed donut, Pumpkin Coffee Cake, Pumpkin Bread Pudding and Cornbread...yeah! The staff there is incredible just a slight stare at the items I was instantly greeted and told of the items freshness and described in details, prices are reasonable all packed and boxed which no many places do these days I just truly appreciate the old school ways they still service us as it's the small things that do make it extra special!

Very disappointing experience…read more We came in excited to order a birthday cake, but the staff had a not friendly attitude the whole time. They couldn't clearly explain the flavors, and the ordering instructions were confusing. The worst part was the hidden charges. When picking up the cake, we were told an ice pack costs $10 and ice is $1 each. We ended up paying $16 extra, while the cake itself was only around $45. This was never explained beforehand and feels completely unreasonable. Poor service and unclear pricing. Would not recommend.

This is the first time that I've been to this location across Ala Moana Shopping Center. The decor…read moreis chic and fancy. It's in the Renaissance Honolulu Hotel & Spa. I have been to their downtown location before. They pretty much sell the same items. I got a slice of rainbow cake $7.99, pastel de nata $4.69 and pain au chocolat $4.79. The rainbow cake was awesome. I could actually taste the different flavors for the different colored layers. The frosting was more of a whipped cream, so it wasn't overly sweet. The pastel de nata was a Portuguese egg tart. The crust was flaky, but the egg custard was so sweet. They overdid it with the sugar. The pain au chocolat was a chocolate danish. It was good, but didn't really stand out. They also sell drinks (coffee, tea, smoothies) and sandwiches. The workers were really polite and helpful.
