I've been wanting to come here for months! I finally had the opportunity to! I'm so happy I did!…read moreThere was so much to choose from-pastries and drinks! My hubby missed out! Great excuse to go again! There was a line, but it moved quickly. You could tell which items were popular cuz their spot was empty. However, they were quickly replaced. Everything was delicious!!! I did bring some items to share with coworkers. I bought my breakfast and lunch from this quaint bakery. It took me back to my visit to Japan! Loved it! Will definitely be back!!!

I needed to occupy myself after I dropped hubs off for his first cataract surgery…read more After doing some retail therapy at NR I had half an hour to spare. Hubs had to fast from 6 am for his 2 pm surgery so I thought he would probably be starving and would enjoy a delectable salt and butter roll from here. At $4.50 a piece I consider this a luxury for us. I found a close stall in the parking structure. A very cheerful polite male employee took my order. I had seen two occupied tables as I walked into the shop. Both had matcha drinks. Why not? I asked the young man assisting me, what's the best matcha drink? He said his favorite was banana matcha with extra banana foam. Okay I'll try it. He repeated it to the cashier. So popular there was a wait for beverages to be prepared. Soon enough mine was ready. I think Doc would enjoy this drink. This shop is a working bakery. Many yummy pastries displayed. Menu is posted high up above to choose from. Rather tiny shop with room for customers to stand in line to order and wait for drinks. Clean, busy with a few tables and chairs outside but pretty much in direct sun.

I highly recommend going to Epi-Ya Boulangerie & Patisserie for all your sweet and savory pastry…read moreneeds. Their staff are friendly and greets you upon entering. Once you step in the smell of fresh bread instantly fills the air. Located in the Times Arcade Mall on Beretania, there is plenty of parking in front of the bakery. Whenever I go I always get their Curry Pan, Apple Muffin, Shio Butter roll, and White Bread. Curry Pan: nice crispy exterior, soft bread interior and good Japanese curry filling Muffins: light flavoring and airy, not dense Shio Butter Roll: good balance of salt and butter. It may look plain but it packs a lot of flavor. White Bread: soft, buttery and they can slice the bread to your desired thickness

It's pretty nostalgic when you are able to take your baby to one of your favorite bakeries growing…read moreup I remember growing up and coming here with my mom to pick up an assortment of things. She would sometimes have ham rolls and raisin breadsticks waiting for us afterschool. My coworker said they have the best croissants on island. They are indeed very similar to those I've had in Paris. My favorites from Epi-Ya? The custard pudding! While plentiful in Tokyo, not very many establishments will make or sell custard pudding. Because of this, I would get one almost everyday when visiting Japan The bread is baked fresh daily and everything is much lower in price (compared to other bakeries) It's always busy, so that just goes to show that the community also enjoys this beloved patisserie. Thanks for reading my reviews! Let me know what I should try next!

Always a must! Had…read morethe guave, custard & macadamia nut flavors. All were delicious. Parking lot is being repaired so you have to find parking.

I truly get the hype about these now…read more These donut inspired pastries are some of the best in town. They're served fresh and hot, and the pastry is incredibly soft, fluffy, and airy. Every bite was so good. Parking is a little complicated right now since they're renovating their lot, so only street parking is available. I waited about 10 to 15 minutes for my doughnuts, but they were definitely worth the wait.

I love how they show samples of the food…read more They have two different registers depending if you want pasta or Asian food. I got the miso salmon plate. I love how it's decorated in the plate so nicely. They even shape the carrots into flowers. You can tell it's made with love. It tasted so good. Idk what was on top of the rice but it was beautiful and some type of purple herb like thing. The plate was so colorful. Everything was so yummy. And the pickled vegetables were also yummy. Service was good and didn't take too long.

This place deserves nothing but 5 stars!! I think it was the best pancakes I've ever had. The…read morefrench toast, garlic fried rice, and of course the buttered rolls were all to die for as well. The curry was alright. The prices are great, I felt like they deserved to make what they were charging. There is plenty of parking. This is a bakery so you can just take a pastry to go or you can wait to sit down at the counter and order food to eat there. I'd definitely recommend doing both. If you go during off times you'll have a better chance of not needing to wait for a seat. Come here for the pancakes!!

Honestly very disappointed in the food here. It has been so hyped up and we had to try it…read more I had the waffles and they were awful. Like thin Eggo waffles with a small side of fruit and whipped cream and sliced almonds. My husband had the omelet and he said it was okay. With coffee and an iced tea it was $70 which is ridiculous Our server was very sweet and attentive and it's in a beautiful plaza so plenty to see after your meal

I had the best mushroom omelette here it is soo good and cheesy , Must try!!…read more We also had the mahi mahi sandwich it was busy with many components that you can barely taste the fish yet is good. Brewed coffee was great not sour not bold very smooth. They give you complimentary toasted Hawaiian bread and home made jam which is lovely. We also picked some Chou buns and cranberry scones to go from the front which were so yummy. There are many seatings in and out and the service is friendly and fast.

We fell for all the reviews here and were quite disappointed. Food quality here is equivalent to…read moreDenny's diner. The food and service were neither good nor need to take bad. Loco Moco came with 2 eggs, hamburger meat, and rice with gravy. Nothing special about this dish. NY steak and eggs were okay. The steak was a bit dry and the eggs not scrambled (per request) but in a rectangular roll that's wet. The banana short stack (2 pancakes) was good but a whooping $17.95! Hawaiian rolls were complimentary. They were warm and came with a red syrup to dip. OJ was not fresh and most likely from a Tropicana can. Coffee was generous. I ordered one cup but was given a whole jug! The bakery has many pastries including their famous cream puffs. Those were good but not extraordinary. The host took a while to seat us when we got there. The cafe wasn't even busy and yet no one greeted us or seated us for a good 10 minutes. Our server was cordial but seemed unenthusiastic. The patio was nice if you wanted fresh air. Beware kf birds trying to steal your food! These birds were fearless hopping onto our table and next to our plates. I'd skip this place and try other eateries in the area. Grab a coffee and possibly pastries elsewhere.

Shop is local favorite! No frills, but the ladies are super sweet and ready to fill up your order…read more Go early for the wide selection. So many yummy choices. Favorites: banana fritters, glazed cinnamon rolls & the orange and strawberry malasada's! So many things to try, and I have no self control I end up with a box filled with goodies when I go, after telling myself just 3-4 items. Have fun and go get something yummy!

Banana fritter was yummy but the chocolate donut melted in a hot humid day…read more Don't buy a chocolate on unless you decide to eat it right away.

AMAZING. Whenever friends are in town visiting, I have them try both bakeries and everyone prefers the Spanish rolls. Whenever I'm home, it's one of the first stops I make! So ono!

The regular Spanish bread is crack ! Get some of these fresh and you'll be thanking me…read more They have Ube and Nutella too but I found there wasn't much filling in em. They also have other options - Filipino bakery all the waaaaay Service was good in a bakery setting.

Food: lilikoi bistock (my new favorite), banana chocolate almond croissant…read more This is the first time we tried the lilikoi bostock and I really liked it - better than the croissant. It has that fruity lilikoi flavor and it's cake-like. I will definitely get this from now on. The worker noted it's a staff favorite. Service: we got there at around 8:55am on a Tuesday. The line wasn't too bad and took us about 20 minutes. Ambiance: there's not a lot of seating, but it's pretty quick so usually we're able to snag an outside table.

Review only based on the Malasadas. They are made to order so they come out fresh. They do not…read morecontain any fillings, so if you are looking for something Leonard's you may be disappointed. Haven't tried their other offerings, but will do so next time. Good location in Kaimuki, around other shops and restaurants. It is clean and bright inside. There isn't really anywhere to sit in the shop to eat, so you'll have to take it to go.

I love Pipeline Bakeshops Malasadas! I have been to several Malasada places in Hawaii but | love…read morethere's the best for the following reasons: 1. the size of the malasadas: some restaurants tend to make their Malasadas smaller and when places do this it ruins the overall texture and quality of it. 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! I'm trying to remember but I think there was a book off that was not too far from here! If you either drive or maybe walk. Service: staff was super helpful and friendly while I was there. I was having an issue with my online order because my phone was being glitchy and they were so nice in helping :) Also wanted to note their branding is so cute!! They even sell merch items too
