This is my absolute favorite bakery on Oahu! They have two…read moreconvenient locations--one inside Ala Moana Center in Waikiki and another in Kapolei right near Safeway and Longs Drugs. The Kapolei spot has super easy parking by Safeway, making it effortless to pop in. One of the main reasons I love coming here is that every single pastry is individually wrapped. It feels so clean, hygienic, and makes it super easy to grab treats to share with friends or family. Everything they make is delicious, but here are my absolute top recommendations: Walnut Raisin Multigrain Bread: Hands down my favorite! It has a subtle sweetness from the raisins and a fantastic, hearty texture. If you're searching for an incredible multigrain raisin bread, this is the one to get. Chocolate Muffin: So light, fluffy, and rich in deep chocolate flavor without being overly sweet. If you enjoy chocolate cake, you'll love this muffin. Red Bean Paste Sweet Bread: Wrapped in incredibly soft, pillowy bread with a perfectly balanced, non-cloying red bean filling. Cookies: Consistently delicious and very reasonably priced! They also have a fantastic app and rewards program. You can easily order online for quick pickup while earning points toward free pastries or coffee. On top of the amazing baked goods, the customer service is always warm, friendly, and efficient at checkout. This place truly brings a smile to my face every time I visit, and I'll definitely keep coming back to support them! Love this bakery!

I decided to swing by since I was in the area and looking for some cake...no they don't have cake here but they do have cupcake lol and it was for a event that Fishcake in Kaka'ako had was "Take one leave one...but make it cake". Where we trade trinkets and bring cake where they provided plates and utensils but we had to cut the cake so instead I thought of bringing something already cut for convenience Banana Bread :) oh yes and with chocolate chips it was either that or cupcakes, brownies or cookies lol why bother stray from the usual and bring a yummy treat. Well that have that and so much more than I realize if it was cupcakes it would probably be green tea, lilikoi, pistachio...maybe strawberry lemonade or German chocolate omg the selection is quite incredible and I wasn't prepared for it. The staff is very helpful and friendly with all our questions and I love that everything is at your convenience to see without asking and with lots of free parking getting here is easy and yes a piece of cake. Thank you!

I got to try a bunch of different items and my ranking is below 1. Banana Chantilly Cupcake 5/5 2. Pistachio cupcake 2/5 3. Red velvet cupcake 2/5 4. German chocolate cupcake 5/5 5. Chocolate covered chocolate chip cookie 3/5 6. Lilikoi bar 10/5 My cupcake 4 pack was kinda a mixed bag. I'm wondering if that comes down to personal preferences more than anything else. About $17 for the 4 pack though so I can honestly only recommend banana chantilly and German chocolate so far. I would skip the cookie because they have so many other options but I'm relieved I only bought one and not the whole bag. Finally I have to say the Lilikoi bar was delicious. One of the best I've ever had. Totally worth the price and would absolutely purchase again. Shop is cute and clean. Next on my list Mac nut brownies!!

A Mixed Experience -- I'd Recommend Sharing the Large!…read more During my trip to Oahu, I decided to stop by Island Shave Ice and Creamery to try their Hawaiian shave ice. I enjoy exploring different shave ice spots whenever I'm in Hawaii, so I was excited to give this place a try! Unfortunately, I had mixed feelings about my experience. There were a few things I appreciated, but also some things I wish had been better. Since this was my first visit, I decided to order a large. Looking back, I think that was my first mistake! Unlike some shave ice places that offer only one size, this location offers three different sizes, which is nice because you have options. However, I would definitely recommend ordering a small if you're eating by yourself. If you're planning to get a large, I think it's much better to share it with someone! My biggest disappointment was how quickly the ice started melting. Personally, I love shave ice that's finely shaved until it's soft and fluffy, almost like snow. Unfortunately, the texture here was noticeably crunchier than what I prefer. Because I ordered a large, the ice began melting before I could really enjoy the entire dessert. I felt like I had to hurry to finish it instead of taking my time and enjoying every bite. Another thing I noticed was that the mochi didn't arrive together with my shave ice. It was brought out separately a little later. I appreciated that it was freshly made, but I would have preferred having everything served together. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, but it wasn't quite what I was hoping for either. I personally prefer the softer, snow-like texture of shave ice, and the quick melting made it difficult to fully enjoy my order. My advice for first-time visitors: Order a small if you're enjoying it alone, or consider sharing a large with someone. That way, you have a better chance of finishing it before it melts! I'm glad I gave this place a try. Sometimes visiting new places helps you discover what you enjoy and what you might do differently next time. Overall experience: 3/5

Nagoya Ramen & Bakery - Ka Makana Ali'i…read more Nagoya Ramen & Bakery is a little gem tucked among the many eateries at Ka Makana Ali'i, and it's easy to see why it stays popular. I stopped by for a late lunch around 2:15 pm, and the bakery side was already almost wiped out -- a bit of a bummer, but also a sign of how much people love their baked goods. They offer a wide variety of ramen options along with plenty of side dishes, so there's something for every craving. Their Mililani location is more of a full dine‑in restaurant, but this spot still delivers on flavor and convenience. The bread is especially popular, and their pizza and soups are worth checking out too. If you're in the area and want comforting ramen or fresh bakery treats (go earlier if you want the best selection), Nagoya is a solid. Marie

As soon as I heard of their closing we ordered our favorite lunch and I made sure to grab my favorite Kouign Amann's and Macaroons and properly froze them to enjoy later. I know the town location is still open BUT we have all we need here in Kapolei! Until I run out of my deserts or are near the Nimitz location I will be sure to stop in to pick up more!

Something that our group religiously gets is the garlic fries, ta always ordered by at least one person. Because they have high ceilings, sound travels very fast even if there are only a few people.

The service workers are always kind and helpful when you have questions or need suggestions. They also bring you the food when it's ready with help of a number/card stand. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Kapolei

OMG YOU GUYS! I'm…read moreseriously torn about telling all of Oahu about this place or keeping this hidden, tucked away gem all to myself! It's that good! Parking in the plaza for paying customers of any store there. If you go up the stairs in the middle of the plaza to the second floor, make a left, a right & then it's the very first shop on your left. You'll see a whiteboard with all of the goodies she has on sale, along with the flavors & prices (how convenient!) The shop is cute & small but these cupcakes, they pack a punch! I love anything carrot & cheesecake, so of course I get the carrot cheesecake cupcake... I also got the strawberry cheesecake. The cupcake is moist, I could tell it was gonna be good by how the paper stuck to its moisture lol. There's actually carrot pieces inside, and you can even see the spices in there. I believe there's cream cheese icing on top, delish! And there's pecans sprinkled on top of that. When you bite inside, there's the best cream cheese filling to top it all off! Listen, I could eat a dozen of these...... in one sitting! 12/10 recommend!

She now looks like she makes cupcakes, but it's one of the drawbacks I guess for being in that business is it can't be healthy surrounded by cupcakes. Never trust a fat chef as well as never trust a person in the health industry who's fat . But I digress - these are the best cupcake makers even better than she was, and she could make some hell of a cupcakes. If you're in the area, grab a coffee grab a cupcake. They're very good. They're very nice people as well.

You will get an assortment of goods from every business that you order a mystery box from vis Save A Bite. Located on Kakala Street off of the main strip - Kapolei Parkway...where few vehicles stay near the speed limit. A stone's throw from the neighborhood park. They are open Fridays thru Sundays from 800a to 200p. They also cater. I ate the Oreo cream cupcake and Ube cake pop...both were good but almost too sweet. Almost ordered a latte and with all that sugar...I would have had a hard time sleeping. Revised my rating based on the cupcake that had the peanut butter frosting. I have a thing for peanut butter...like I do with attractive women...and that is worth an extra star.
