Popo's Cookies are incredible. They have that fresh, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth texture that authentic shortbread should have-so rich and delicious you just have to ignore the calorie count! You can truly feel the heart and care behind this small business. I drove all the way from Princeville just to say hi and ended up leaving with probably 15 batches to bring back home. Absolutely worth the trip! read more

YUMMMM These cookies are unreal -- super buttery, insanely delicious, and absolutely worth the drive. Every bite tastes like it was made with love (and a whole lot of butter in the best way). If you're a cookie person, run, don't walk. I'll definitely be back! Staff was also so kind! read more

Popo's Cookies - Desserts Near Me - Hanapepe, Hawaii

So glad we found this place on our recent trip. Or maybe I'm mad that we did. I just ate a bag of the Butter Dream and now I'll be counting down until I can make a trip back for more. So buttery and the crunchy corn flakes inside were great. Make sure you grab a couple bags for the trip home! I have a tree nut allergy and am always a little nervous to try new bakeries but was assured that they don't bake with nuts on the same day to lower risk of cross contamination which I appreciate. read more

Our family visits every other year and Popo's has been a tradition of ours. We usually stay in Kapaa and make the 40 min drive over to Hanapepe within the first two days. Those ones we eat while there. Before leaving we drive over and plan our day around a pick up for family and friends. YES they are that good! Erin has always been helpful and we enjoy chatting with her. For the most part the are shortbread consistency so if you prefer soft cookies this won't be the place. For all you others out there that like the snap of a cookie...stop here! Luckily they offer shipping now too so I can send to my folks for the holidays...and for the record Popo's is the only HAVE TO when we visit. read more

Yummy cookies...don't miss them while in Kauai We love them all, but am addicted to the peanut butter! Owners are the best

Popo's Cookies was a cute little shop on Kauai. It's tucked in the back behind a couple other businesses, so a little hard to find. The cookies were very yummy! We picked up a couple bags when we went into the shop. The cookies are harder cookies but have plenty of flavor that burst in your mouth. There's only 2 people allowed inside because of COVID and the space is so small. The lady working inside was super friendly and nice. Definitely stop by Popo's Cookies when you're on Kauai. read more

Popo's Cookies - Popo's Cookies - Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut - Desserts Near Me - Hanapepe, Hawaii

The owner was so nice! She was helpful and told my mother in law her wild story of ownership! When you go make sure you ask her. The cookies...delicious. I felt it was only right to try a cookie with macadamia nuts, which she also said were the most popular. So we got the chocolate chip macadamia nut. The cookies are the thin crispy cookies. I'm a soft cookie lover but these were very good. So very buttery. The people in my party also got the white chocolate macadamia nut and the coconut. They both reported they were also good! Highly recommend. read more

This is a cute little cookie shop. The cookies are terrific - especially the coconut cookies and the chocolate chip macadamia cookies. These are crisp cookies. The person at the counter was not in a good mood but it was a hot day and she looked like she had a long one already. I will be back for more of the coconut cookies. Price was $5.75 per bag in July 2023. No discount for buying multiple bags. read more

Popo's Cookies - Desserts Near Me - Hanapepe, Hawaii

We were walking around town and happened to be lured in by the sweet smell of butter! My aunt and I stopped in and purchased a few bags and she even scooped some "butter dreams"' off the pan and put them in the bag! Erin was kind enough to leave the bag unsealed as we paid for our goods and proceeded to munch down the entire bag on the way back to the car. Somehow we left a morsel for the others to try, and the first bite sealed the deal! We hauled ourselves back out of the car to go get more!!! These cookies are so buttery, crunchy, and delicious yet so simple with pure ingredients! Alllsooo if you are like us and are pursuit while on the islands for cornflake cookies, look no further!! Such a hidden gem and so excited we found them! read more

We were wandering around around Hanapepe during its Art Night (every Friday 5-8pm), and followed the signs for Popo's Cookies. With live music playing in a beautiful & quaint courtyard, we were already greeted with a lovely ambience. A really nice couple owns the shop! After buying the almond cookies, we tried the butter cookie samples and they were SO GOOD. So I'm definitely going to come back for the different flavors. I got almond because "Popo" means grandma in Chinese, and I wanted to try Chinese cookies. I really enjoyed reading the history of Popo's Cookies through their website and through others' reviews here! It's an establishment with lots of history, preserved by the currently owners. read more

Stumbled across this shop with my boyfriend, and wandered to the back courtyard. Such a quaint location! We couldn't pick a flavor so we ended up with 4 bags! Our favorite so far is the chocolate chip cookies. My boyfriend is a huge fan of crunchy cookies & these definitely hit the spot for him! I may also be a crunchy cookie convert, now.... Glad we found this spot and we will definitely be return customers! :) read more

Soooo good. Best cookies. I really enjoy different flavors and how crispy they are. Will definitely buy more.

Best cookies I've ever had in my life! Genuinely dream about the Butter Dreams -- so so so good

Fantastic cookies and the owner is extremely friendly! This place is hidden behind little shops off the "main" drag but well worth it. The chocolate chip with macadamia nut was outstanding. We ate multiple before we even made it back to our car. The owner asked all about our honeymoon and gave us recommendations on where else to visit. Truly felt welcomed by a local which felt great. read more

Taste like my grandmother's cookies. Nothing but the best here! Get whatever is fresh for the day and take another bag home!

This place holds my heart of hearts. This one cookie defines ALOHA It's only sold on this island. If you don't make it to the shop check the airport for there cookies. Best I've ever had. read more

My girlfriend and I went to Kauai and found the Butter Dreams at a little market. They were so buttery and just melted in your mouth. So much better than the other popular hawaiian shortbread cookie there. Had to go back for more to take back to Cali!! I bought 6 packs and my girlfriend bought 3. Gave a pack to my mom and she loved them. Butter Dreams and Chocolate Chip Macadamia nut to my sister, and Macadamia Nut to my boss. I was easily tempted to keep them myself. They are the best. Wish the could sell them on the mainland or through Amazon.com etc.... It does not get better than these!! Buy many!!! read more

We were walking around the stores in Hanapepe and around the corner I smelt the freshly baked fragrance. Its actually in back of a few stores. I went inside and the lady was very friendly saying that in about 10 minutes there will be a new batch of chocolate chip cookies. I came back and ordered 6 cookies. Very good and can't beat warm cookies straight from the oven. read more

When in or near Hanapepe, roll in to Popo's. Located at the East end of Hanapepe Road just where it turns into the "downtown" area. It is tucked back in a courtyard shared with Little Fish Coffee. This business is the realization and passion of a young couple living the island dream, doing what you love where you love. Owner is always on site creating fresh and delicious treats made from local ingredients. Warning: they are addictive and you'll have trouble stopping at just one. So buy plenty and help keep this place growing. I plan to visit every time I'm on the island. Yum!! read more

If you really love crunchy cookies then you will love this place! We got the macadamia nut cookie and the chocolate coconut. If I had to recommend one it would be the macadamia nut. The coconut chocolate didn't have as much flavor as I would've liked. The business owner was very friendly and the place had a cute vibe. read more

Their chocolate chip macadamia nut & the butter dreams were our two favorite flavors of cookies!

Popo means Grandma in Chinese. Many decades ago, my wife remembers Popo's Cookies on Kauai and that these cookies were onolicious! But like all sweet Popos, they get older and pass on. If I understand the story correctly, Popo's family kept her legacy of onolicious cookies going, but as the generations progressed, they decided to pass on the torch. In came a new and enthusiastic owner, one who agreed to follow the recipes to the dot. One who has put in long labor of love hours to produce, once again, one of Kauai's most onolicious cookies! Popo's Cookies is hidden in a courtyard just down a tiny gravel alley way off Hanapepe Road. Hanapepe has a number of little gems (especially on Friday evenings). This is one of those gems you don't want to miss! We actually visited Popo's Cookies in July 2017 (not just once, but twice). We're visiting Kauai again in March (w/ our kids' Bachan - Japanese for Grandma). Without a doubt we'll be visiting Hanapepe and Popo's Cookies once again! If you're on Kauai and anywhere near Hanapepe and/or Waimea, three things not to miss out - Wong's Lilikoi Chiffon Pie, Aunty Lilikoi's jams & jelly's and Popo's Cookies! read more

Popo's Cookies - Desserts Near Me - Hanapepe, Hawaii

What a fun shop!! When you are on vacation you should stop in and grab a bag of cookies. We tried 4 different flavors and they were perfect with coffee or milk. A must try when going to the Friday Night Art Crawl. My favorites were the Macaroons, the Chocolate Chip and Macadamia, and there was one similar to a Russian Tea cake but with macadamia nuts. So Delish!!! read more

Cookies are delicious. Made a special trip to the store hoping they would offer samples and perhaps offer a discount since it's the factory store, as I was going to buy several bags as gifts. Turns out this store charges almost a dollar more than other stores that sell it on the island. I found the cookies for $3.99 at Sueokas. Not worth the drive to Hanapepe to pay more per bag. They charge $4.83 per bag at this store. read more
