    Bluey theme cake. (I swapped out coco for Bingo)
    Zayla T.

    Lyn has done miracle work with our daughters 6 year birthday Bluey theme cake! We walked in on a friday and she was kind enough to accept our order for a next week pick up. It was $115 base + filling + design + rush fee for 6in 2 layer cake but Well worth the price. She showed us custom bluey cakes shes made in the past and my daughter picked her style, colors and flavor of cake. Despite it being a busy time with superbowl weekend and valentine's day coming up Lyn was great with communication and responding to our texts timely. The cake turned out both BEAUTIFUL and DELICIOUS! The only thing I changed I swapped out Coco (pink dog) for Bluey's sister Bingo (orange dog. My fault for not stating Bluey AND Bingo theme cake). She even gave us the Bluey activity book that came with some of the figurines AND a cake cutting knife! Seeing my daughter's face light up with the happiest smile made me so happy I went with Oahu Bakes and Brew. Thank you Lyn and Oahu Bakes & Brew crew!!

    Strawberry cake

    Absolutely incredible cakes and brownies! We received so many compliments from our guests, and everything was beyond delicious. For our son's Transformers-inspired cake, she truly went above and beyond our expectations with the design--it was detailed, creative, and absolutely perfect. We chose a strawberry cake with fresh strawberries and cream filling, and hands down, it was the best we've ever had. The cake was incredibly moist and actually tasted like real, fresh strawberries. The cream filling was loaded with strawberries--no skimping at all--and the flavor was amazing. Between our three kids and family events, we've ordered plenty of custom cakes over the years, and this one easily tops the list. We're so happy to have found our go-to baker and will definitely be ordering again. Highly recommend!

    Was able to have a delicious, cake for my birthday. This cakes was so yummy with a tasty filling. The cake was chocolate with cut up strawberries and a yummy fondant on the outside. They do an excellent job on the design of the cake. Mine was pick with a cute champagne bottle on it. If you have a special occasion, you should definitely try this place at.

    These cupcakes are the best cupcakes on the island. They have become our favorite birthday treats. Service is always great! We will be back again for any special occasions :) Thank you for the awesome cupcakes

    AMAZING. We decided to plan our son's 2nd birthday party while visiting family in Hawaii. I found this bakery on Yelp after looking for a custom cake. Contacting Oahu Cakes was simple and quick. After I placed an inquiry on their website, I received a call that same day about pricing and what I wanted on the cake. What caught my attention were their Disney cakes, especially the "Mickey and Minnie in paradise." The staff were so nice and easy to talk to on the phone. She did advise me that they make a certain number of cakes a day so I knew I had to make sure we reserved a spot for my son's cake that day. On the day of pick up, we received a text to pick up the cake before closing. The cake was beautiful and everything I imagined for my son's birthday. The second we brought the cake out, he smiled and yelled "Mickey!!" It was the cutest thing. Seeing him smile showed us that he absolutely loved the cake. The details on the cake were perfect!!! I also have to say the cake was delicious and moist! Our family were so impressed and even asked us where we ordered the cake from. I highly recommend checking this bakery out! We will be sure to come back again whenever we need a custom cake.

    - Ordered/requested quote: 28 Nov 2022 - Confirmation/payment: 29 Nov 2022 - Pick up: 2 Dec 2022 Cake details: Cake (Medium 15-20 Servings ) 8" Round - Chocolate Cake Filling: Vanilla Buttercream Covering: Vanilla Buttercream This cake, for me, was a last-minute thought. So, after the baker I usually used informed me that she was booked, I started to frantically search my trusty Yelp app for bakers late Monday evening (28 November 2022). Luckily, I came across Oahu Cakes!! I was skeptical of the short notice, getting what I wanted, the price, and the taste. Well, Yelp, I am happy to inform you that I was not disappointed with any of my desires. Submitting a quote was easy and straightforward. The online submission form made the step by step process easy. I selected the flavor I wanted, the size, the theme, the pick up date (this is based on a pop up availability calender on te site), and any additional notes to get an accurate quote. And I was able to submit a picture of something similar to what I wanted. I had to submit my request for a quote on Oahu Cakes website (I couldn't find a direct contact via Yelp). But once I submitted it, I received a copy of my request to my email. Since it was late Monday evening, I impatiently checked my email every few minutes the following day (Tuesday). I finally got a text message late Tuesday morning from someone who identified themselves as Ashli from the bakery. (Honestly, I was a bit skeptical because I automatically thought scam... since it's the holiday season, increased vigilance is necessary). Anyway,  Ashli's text had a copy of my quote and asked that I confirm accuracy. If everything was accurate, she asked that I use the provided link to make a deposit to solidify my order (another reason I thought scam...hey, you can't be too cautious!!). The link looked legitimate, so I proceeded and made my payment. Thursday (1 December 2022 at 1231pm), I had not received any updates, so I sent a text to the same number confirming my pick-up time. Yelp,  there was no response to my text all day, so again, I think, SCAM. Lmao. Yes - I was catastrophizing!! I went on the website, checked the business number, and of course, it did not match the one I received the text from. However, the guy who answered was able to confirm that the cake was baked. They just needed to put the finishing touches, but I was good to pick up at my requested time. Whew! Friday morning, I received a picture message of the cake from Ashli. It was beautiful!! I transported the cake to my event and that was that. Not only did it look amazing, but it also tasted great. It was chocolate with unexpected but pleasantly surprising chunks of chocolate. Yummy. I was also surprised that the cake was bigger than I expected and had 3 layers!! I wished I had taken a picture showing the inside while it was cut, but I was too busy enjoying it. Although I was skeptical, I was blown away and would highly recommend Oahu Cakes for your specialty cakes.

    Don't mind the big cake tower, its the smaller one .

    10 out of 10.... My daughter needed a last minute cake for her 21st birthday party. I had my cousin do a faux cake but forgot to order a real one for her to eat and blow her candles on. Long story short my daughter got a hold of the owner online and placed an order and was able to get a cake ordered and picked up a day before the party. It was beautiful my daughter loved everything about it but we were so busy with preparations we didn't get a good picture of it. And I DIDNT EAT ANY because I forgot and I was so tired lol. But my family and friends kept talking about how delicious it was. So here i am writing a review and hoping the owner has a good picture and if she ever has leftovers i will gladly pick it up. I will definitely go back and try the other goodies or just order another cake thank you to the owners who made this possible. Aloha, Tui

    Retirement cake
    Cherie F.

    I ordered a large (25-30 servings) 10" round cake from Ashli and so happy I did! This was for my husband's retirement party. I googled custom cake bakers in the area and Oahu Cakes was one of them. I went through all her photos on IG to get some ideas and shared them with Ashli. She did a phenomenal job and it was a hit at the party! It was a dense cake but needed to be in order to hold the weight of the fondant. However, it was moist and super flavorful. The cake was much larger than I had expected. Thanks so much Ashli!

    Birthday cake

    What a fantastic cake and experience! Although it may seem challenging to order a cake online, it was a seamless process. Lyn created a stunning poker cake for my dad for his 90th birthday. People were in awe! It looked and tasted delicious! Should I ever need a specialty cake in the future, I would hands-down use them again. You will not be disappointed!

    I Absolutely recommend Oahu cakes!! They we so easy to work with and created the Vision I had in mind for my Daughters "Sweet One". My cake was soooo cute and most of all tasted so good. Not overly sweet but just right, and was super moist and yummy. Thank you Oahu Cakes

    The oh so moist Chocolate Lava Cake
    Martin A.

    I just gotta say one praise, "TOTAL FOODGASM!!!" First off, I started a food vlog not too long ago and I wanted to celebrate accomplishing a personal milestone on my channel. I figured, go get something that I know I like but never had the chance to try out yet. So, I did some research to look for who got some baked goods. I ran across this location, and I found it interesting. I got in my car with all my vlog gear to check this place out. When I arrived at the location and smelled the freshness of the pastries, I just know that this place was going to be goooood!!! For my review, I placed my order for a 1/2 dozen of various flavors of cupcakes (Cookies & Cream, Pina Colada, Salted Caramel, Strawberry, Red Velvet, and Chocolate), 1 chocolate chip cookie, 1 chocolate lava cake, and 1 brownie. The owner of the restaurant was absolutely kind and extremely patients with me while getting my order ready. Once I got back in my car to tape my review, I started with trying out the cookie, and it was super tasty. Even though I tasted a little bit of oats in it, I didn't mind because I love oats in my cookies. Next thing that I tried was the brownie. And that's when I realized that I was truly in paradise. Biting into that warm chocolatey, ooey oh so gooey brownie made me go in to full foodgasm!!! It truly was the absolute best brownie I have ever tasted in my entire life. I was so disappointed that I had no choice but to not finish it at that time. I still had 1/2 dozen of cupcakes and a lava cake left to try. Once I got my composure back from that heavenly brownie, I tried out the lava cake. Let me tell you, it was so moist and rich in that chocolatey goodness as well. Once I had that in my mouth, I knew that this place was put here to give everybody what they are looking for in a great tasting bakery. On to the cupcakes. As much as I would love to go into full detail with them, I'm just going to let everyone who read this know that every single one of those flavors listed were worth every bit of the cost. I'm not much of a coconut fan at all, but their pina colada cupcake made me change what I think my palate so be try out more of. I had that "What have I've been missing out on" thought in my head as I was processing the oh so good taste in my mouth. Each of the cakes were light and fluffy when consumed. My favorite out of the six cupcakes was the Cookies & Cream. The frosting that they made for it was so divine, it tasted like I was eating cookies and cream ice cream without the coldness to the ice cream. But all in all, if you are looking for something that can give you a foodgasm, come to Oahu Cakes. Definitely get those brownies, I highly recommend them to anyone in this world.

    My neighbors bought us some cookies here, so me and my wife went to check it out down the street in our Mehana Community. So happy we did. We got a few cupcakes, cookies and brownie. The mini lava cake was so moist and yummy. Cookies were delicious also. We will be back for more. Mahalo Mike, your a fantastic Baker They also gave us a cookie for our Pups, They loved it! Something for the whole Ohana

    The owner, Lyn, went out of her way to make this cake and delivery a success for me and the 45 year old birthday"boy" lol. She emailed me and suggested ways of delivery and what she thought was the best!!! And she was right!! Lyn is absolutely amazing and a very caring, busy Mom!!! And if you know one thing, if you want something done, ask a Mom, she'll get it done lol!!!! And Lyn is that Mom!!! I can't thank you enough Lyn!!! He absolutely loved the Shrek cake and thought the taste was amazing!!! You can really tell that Oahu Bakes and Brews is that warm home made feel and taste like Mom does when Mom is too far away to be able to do it herself!!! Thank you, Lyn for stepping in when I couldn't be there!!! You and Oahu Bakes and Brews rocks!!!!!

    When I first inquired about the cake. Gal said it would be $70/ $55 for a 1/2 sheet cake and the…read moredecorations is $15 for the Doc Mcstuffin theme. There was also supposed to be a 10% craigslist discount. After seeing the many decorated cakes on her fancy website and inquiring with Gal, i figured the cake would be pictured with our theme; it would be decorated as doc Mcstuffin and as she indicated there would be a few toppers. I wanted to ensure that i was able to get a cake with this decoration for my daughters birthday since a 2 tier/3D fancy cake could not meet our budget. I contacted Gal on 3 occasions to confirm pricing, purchasing and pick up. I thought during this time, she took my order and unfortunately we were not on the same page. I sent my husband down there to pay $70 for the cake. However, she made him look thru a book of 1"x1" pictures of cakes and choose cake toppers to add to the cake. The toppers were $5 each, for the exception of one that was 1/2 the size. Anyhow, the cake came out to $90. I had to call her and asked why the cost was different then what she quoted me? She said "your husband chose all the cake toppers." I told her that i gave her my order and he was supposed to just taste the cake, choose a flavoring and pay for the cake. Anyhow, I didn't have time get into it and just left it at that. Fast foward to Scarlet's 2nd birthday. See the cake for your self. It was a regular lightly flowered-decorated cake with toppers on it. Really? I could have paid $25 for a Costco cake and order cake toppers on amazon for half the price. What does flowers have to do with our theme? What a disapooinment. She couldn't paint a stethoscope, doctor bag or bandaid on the cake? Her website shows all the other cakes decorated as themed. Unfortunately, the taste of the cake wasn't amazing either. There was a very thin layer of the flavoring that you get to choose from a selection of 5. Everyone kept asking what it was. It was supposed to be guava strawberry and unfortunately it tasted like a cheap version of guava jelly. The whip cream was too sweet as well. The cake separated at this layer too. It was cake, guava/strawberry flavoring/ cream/cake and it was falling apart while serving. The cake was in the house the entire time. It was hot though, but i don't believe that was the reason for the separation. Moral of story... Open communication. Make sure you know what you are buying. Maybe ask for a bigger picture that will be exactly what you are looking for. Ask for direct cost and not a generic quote.

    One of the more popular dining option at Aulani. We visited here a handful of times during our 5…read morenight stay. It is more of a grab and go place although there are tables in the patio area. After a long day of travel, we opted to order dinner here. Can be busy for lunch and dinner so plan accordingly. We got the Mac nut crusted fish - this tasted a bit like candy... but the mash potatoes and veggies were perfection. Their pizzas were delicious- the dough is chewy and they can be generous with the toppings. We got their pizza twice. My husband got breakfast here once - their oatmeal was hot and good. We got a refillable mug and it was definitely worth it for our 5 night stay in btw regular water refills and sodas for our family of 3.

    Well deserved -- quick and convenient pool‑side bites! )…read more We had breakfast and lunch at Ulu Café at Aulani, and honestly it was a perfect "pool day" meal stop! Breakfast here was French toast & sausage and a bagel breakfast sandwich -- nothing crazy fancy, but it was totally satisfying (especially eating by the pool -- because everything tastes better with a view ). I loved how convenient the hours are, especially when you're just chilling at the pool and don't want to go far for food. It's a great option if you want something quick, casual, and easy without a sit‑down reservation. Lunch we ordered a cheese pizza and Hawaiian Sun juices -- again, simple and tasty, and perfect when you're in swimwear and ready to eat right by the water . The location is super easy to find too -- right by the Wailana Pool -- which makes it clutch for lazy pool days. A few honest notes: At peak meal times it can get crowded and there's a line, so showing up a little before or after typical breakfast/lunch rush helps a lot. Seating is outside around the cafe and pool -- no fancy indoor dining, but that's part of the vibe! Menu & What They Serve: Ulu Café isn't just breakfast -- it's more like a grab‑and‑go + quick service counter with a rotating selection: * Breakfast favorites like eggs, bacon, French toast, breakfast sandwiches & flatbreads (served around 6:30AM-11AM) * Lunch & dinner options like poke bowls, sandwiches, flatbreads & pizzas (11AM-9PM) * Snacks, pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt, desserts (all day) * Grab‑and‑go salads, wraps, drinks & convenience items too Hours: * Breakfast: ~6:30AM - 11:00AM * All‑day menu (Lunch/Dinner): ~11:00AM - 9:00PM Price Ranges (approx): * Breakfast items (French toast, bagel sandwiches, flatbreads): around $9-$15+ * Lunch items (pizza, sandwiches, poke bowls): around $12-$22+ * Drinks (juices, sodas & refillable mugs): varies, and they have a refillable cup you can use all stay which many guests say is worth it for pool days Why we liked it: Quick + easy -- perfect for heading back to the pool ‍ Great poolside location with views Convenient hours for early breakfast or a casual lunch Simple, familiar menu that's kid‑friendly Why it wasn't 5 stars for food: * Not a fine dining experience -- more casual convenience * Lines at peak times can be long -- but worth it for the easy access to food by the pool! If you're planning a pool day and don't want to wander for food -- Ulu Café is awesome. Quick, tasty, easy to find, and perfect for laid‑back Hawaii vibes .
