    Store Front 3

    Walked here from our airbnb--arrived at 6:56A and there was one person already there waiting for them to open at 7A. The cashier that took our order was very friendly and accommodating. We opted to have our order there. Everything was plated nicely for us and my Americano came in a disposable cup. The French toasts were soooo delicious the creme brûlée is must have!! My husband really enjoyed the cookie and his chocolate croissant as well. Limited seating but it was nice to be able to sit for a bit and eat before continuing to walk around. Definitely a place you'll want to stop in and try!

    I've stopped by Ocean Side Bakery at the Kaka'ako Farmers Market and the storefront on Smith Street. I enjoy the fresh baked sweet and savory pastries. OSB also offers sandwiches and so much more. My most recent trip was at the Smith Street location. I purchased a crème brûlée cinnamon roll, a Lilikoi mini tart and a chocolate mini tart. Unfortunately, when I arrived home, the chocolate mini tart was not included in my pastry box. I called the bakery and the owner said to come by and that I would be given the pastry. I haven't made it back yet. The crème brûlée roll was understandably on the sweet side. The dough was a bit dry. 3/5 stars. The Lilikoi mini tart is delicious and flavorful. A light flaky crust with just the right amount of meringue, filling and flavor. I favor this tart. 4.5/5 stars. In my past visits, I liked the flaky croissants and lemon meringue tart. There are many options here. A cute outdoor sitting area is nice, however it's located in the street area. It's cordoned off for seating, however, it is near moving traffic. See photos. Support local.

    Such a cute place! The owner used to do farmer's markets but now has a Smith Street store front. There are quite a few delectable pastries to choose from. My $8 yesterday's pastry bag contained a cinnamon roll, chocolate croissant, and soft pretzel croissant. The refreshing Swiss ice tea contains chamomile among other wonderful flavors. There was a steady line of customers while I was there. The owner is delightful! Please visit this bakery next time your in Chinatown or make a special trip - it's worth it!

    Cute little hole in the wall, literally. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have outdoor seats in a parking stall. They offer a unique selection of pastries and meals.

    During our bike ride around town we came across this bakery. Can I just say why haven't I seen this place earlier!!!!! Like it was off the charts yummy!!!!!! Great customer service! Cutest little outdoor seating! The croissant was as good as the ones I had overseas! This place is the real deal!!!

    Did I order the wrong things? Perhaps sticking to French classics at a French bakery would have been a better idea. For example, the basic croissant, buttery, flaky, well developed flavor. The inside is "breadier" making it perfect for a sandwich. Unfortunately non French items are less successful. The apple turnover has a nice flaky crust but the filling is so sweet and has so much cinnamon in it, it's almost spicy hot. The banana bread did not rise properly during baking. The bottom is dense and dry (see pic). The bread pudding was not soaked enough before baking. There are a lot of dry pieces of bread (see pic). On positive note, prices are very affordable compared to other specialty bakeries and the service is extremely friendly.

    I remember seeing Ocean Side at one of the farmer's market and was really happy they now have a storefront. This little, unassuming spot is a cute gem that even has some tables out in front. There's a lot to choose from but I wanted to try them out and got an chocolate almond croissant. This was delicious! Crispy on the outside, warm, buttery, and chocolatey in the middle! It was a perfect introduction to the bakery. My only issue was that the worker was not very friendly...kinda early morning grumpy...but then again, some of the French are like that so maybe feeling more like Paris...LOL! Looking forward to coming back and trying more! Mahalo Ocean Side!

    Why have I not heard of this Bakery before! I was walking around Downtown and saw this Bakery I have never seen before. Oceanside Bakery offers a variety of sweet and savory pastries. The bakery showcases its goods in the window, making it easy to see what's available before purchasing. While there are a couple of small tables outside, the area isn't ideal for dining due to its surroundings, making takeout the best option. I couldn't resist the unique Cube Croissant ($4.50). The cube tasted good, but the shape takes away the flakiness that croissants usually have. Overall, I thought this was a great hidden gem and plan to come back to try other pastries.

    Cute little bakery on the outskirts of Chinatown. There's a parklet right outside of the bakery with ample seating. Service was quick and no nonsense -- great for grab and go. I got a pretzel croissant out of curiosity. Solid mix of the salty, slightly more dense/chew of a pretzel, and the buttery-ness of a croissant. Would recommend! Would be great paired with a soup of some sort, but great as a stand alone snack. Also got some croissant bread pudding. Could I tell it was made with croissants? Maybe only because I knew it was. It was a very generous portion and well worth the value regardless. Street parking and a paid lot are nearby. Depending on the time you go, you're bound to find a space. Looking forward to trying something different when I visit again!

    Went on a weekday after I finished some work in town. Thought, today would be the best time to try this place. Went at opening and there were already 2 parties ahead of me. They just opened! I knew I made a good decision. All the goods are displayed on the window which is awesome so you know what to order once you get to the register. I went for a variety. I got a cheese pretzel, 2 ube fudge brownies, a creme brulee cinnamon roll, 2 almond croissants, and a pan au chocolat. I almost didn't get cinnamon roll, but why not? The line went fast, the person before me had a sandwich warmed up so she was waiting but I was able to order in the mean time. There are two tables right up front plus the curb also has seats as well. I'm so glad I got to try this place. I want to go back so I hope I have work in town again!

    Love the new seating area to dine. It's been awhile since I stopped by and I love how there a little area to enjoy their pasties. Met some girlfriends here for breakfast and we enjoyed the soufflé French toast with freshly made strawberry jam and the traditional butter croissant. So delicious! The salmon breakfast sandwich, tomato sandwich, and the coque monsieur with an egg was so delicious too. One cannot go wrong stopping by and get enjoying a little coffee and a pastry. The service was great and enjoyed watching a line form and seeing everyone enjoying their Sunday morning.

    Pan Au Chocolat, lilikoi canele, German Cheesecake, and blueberry custard tart
    Jordan P.

    First time coming here and it's good to see Chinatown abundant with small businesses. Especially when there are bakeries like this one. An amazing selections of baked goods like croissants, cheesecakes, and even fresh baguettes. We got these selections and my wife loves the pan au chocolat. It was soft, flakes, and the inside felt that a whole chocolate bar was put inside it. It was huge. The German Cheesecake was real filling and it almost took me out. The staff was nice, and the little seating area was pleasant too. We would come back here again for morning breakfast.

    Delicious selection of pastries

Sadly, it seemed more folks were there for the pastries though. First off, I'm surprised I found such a fabulous cup of coffee in what feels like the epicenter of tourist life on this island. While visiting another island nearly establishment had signage stating they served Kona and/or Hawaiian coffee, but nearly every establishment's coffee was absolutely awful. Seeing the location I fully expected them to phone in the coffee, but it's clear that coffee comes first here, even if many of the guests are trying to get pastries! You'll be shocked by the line, but just know the staff is efficient and it moves fast. They offer a variety of their own locally roasted beans here, with options for batch brew, espresso drinks and even pour overs (impressive considering the volume of customers). The coffees are well described and the baristas have the additional knowledge you may be seeking when you order, and all in all this went as quickly as I could have expected. Truly, the coffee was delightful, and the fact I was drinking a hot drink on an extremely hot day didn't even phase me. I wanted so badly to bring home a bag of each one, but given that everything is more expensive in Hawaii, these were all 4x the price of the specialty coffee I buy on the mainland and I just couldn't make it happen. What will happen is me telling everyone to visit this shop when they're in Hawaii because it is 100% worth it. Won't you consider opening one in Reno NV?

Since it was their anniversary on Sunday, also got their celebratory funfetti cupcake which also like their baked goods did not disappoint. The croissant base of many of their pastries is flaky. When fresh it crunches with every bite that you take. This time around we had the cinnamon roll, mango danish which had a chocolate mochi filling, and their char siu bun. It's such a neat take to have char siu in a croissant. We are used to having it in the doughy bao bread but in a croissant, savory with a crunchy outside tastes so much better. I love sweet but this one wasn't overly sweet, who would have thought that mango and chocolate pair so well together. It's the summer months, fresh mango on pastries. It was the perfect ripeness. For the cinnamon roll, you honestly cannot forget get their cinnamon roll...It's flaky and again the frosting is not overly sweet. Can't wait to get another box of their pastries again soon.

The bigger the malasadas size the more airy and fluffy and more bread layers that will be inside. 2. their malasadas always taste fresh and the same quality each time. 3. their malasadas don't feel oily or heavy at all Overall I would highly recommend this place for their Malasadas! I'm so happy to have found them. I can back multiple times on my trip. They also have other desserts too that I have yet to try. They have ice cream, cakes, and other desserts Also tip: if you are ordering a malasada also order a coffee or a matcha drink to go with it. The cinnamon sugar from the malasada just matches so perfectly with a drink this restaurant is also a nice place for walking! There's lot of stores and restaurants to walk around!

However, there are many alternative malasada purveyors throughout Honolulu, so I depended on local vloggers to find the best ones. This one popped up often on YouTube, and as luck would have it, we were dining at The Pig & The Lady on the next block. How calorifically convenient. We took the opportunity to stop by for a pre-dinner snack since they closed at 6PM. It's a cute shop with multiple sweets including quite a selection of housemade ice cream and delectable mouthfuls called Cake Bombs (Photo 10). We decided we would be good and ordered one unfilled Malasada each. Dusted with various sugar flavors, they were just $2.65 a piece. I went for the Coffee, while Jamie chose the daily special, Cinnamon (Photo 6). They were soft and tasty, quite comparable to Leonard's albeit a tad smaller. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing since we had dinner ahead of us. However, we let temptation get the best of us and shared a $5.50 slice of the Ube Haupia Mac Nut Bar, a yummy combination of sweet potato and ube topped with haupia (coconut milk pudding) on a macadamia nut crust (Photo 9).

It was tasty, with a unique spice blend reminiscent of other beef soups I've had in the past. However, I was particularly wowed however by the complementary bread and raspberry jam. Call me simple, but the bread was actually the star of the show for me, perfectly soft and buttery. The location in Waikiki is perhaps a clear reminder that it is a tourism city.
