I've been a fan of this business ever since I found them online in 2020. They have products now…read moreavailable at the Coffee or Tea shop. They also do pop up sometimes and today they were at Waimanalo shopping plaza. They also do meetups too. The best place to find them is to follow them on instagram. I've been waiting for years to try their products and I tried the creme brulee with my boyfriend. The crust has a semi crunchy texture but because it has been refrigerated for multiple hours it's kind of more soft. The creme brulee flavor is more prominent than the actual Ube but the overall taste is really good. I think I paid about $6 for the creme brulee. They also offer other products too

I am writing this as a member of the wedding party who had to watch the heartbreaking fallout of…read moreBite Size 808's utter failure. A wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime milestone. The couple trusted you six months in advance, excited to support a local business. Instead of being a special addition to their celebration, your business became a source of avoidable stress and deep disappointment. Delivering food over an hour late--when the venue was already closing and guests were leaving--completely ruined the late-night experience they spent months planning. You didn't just deliver food late; you entirely wasted their hard-earned money and robbed them of a special moment with their guests. What is most shameful, however, is your cowardice afterward. Taking a couple's money and then actively ignoring their emails and reading their Instagram messages without replying is incredibly unprofessional. It shows a complete lack of conscience. You botched someone's wedding day and then chose to hide from the consequences because you already got paid. If you have any integrity left, you should feel deeply embarrassed by how you treated this couple. I strongly warn anyone against trusting this business with an event they actually care about.

I experienced Bite Size 808's foods at a festival recently. The lumpia I tried were excellent and…read morethe butter mochi was very good. There was a problem with my order and Bite Size 808 reached out and pre-emptively took care of the issue. That speaks volumes to me about their responsiveness to customers and I appreciated it. Although they're pretty far away from where I'm at on island I will definitely try them out again when I am out in their area.

It was a friend's birthday coming up and we were renting a cabin on the North Shore, and stopped by Kilani Bakery to grab a cake and candles. My friends had never had a chantilly cake before, so we had to go with that. They have a square / rectangle cake that was the perfect size to feed ten of us. I like that it wasn't too overly sweet!

When we pulled in, a customer before me also purchased a lemon meringue pie! Their lemon meringue pie is like a "mile high" pie! Their lemon meringue pie is to die for! No other comes close...it's not too sweet, not too tangy, it is just right! And for $17.99 it's a bargain these days! Won't find a better lemon meringue any where else!!!

As many times as we've been to the North Shore, we're still discovering new favorite places to eat…read more We found Rise & Shine Cafe last year and put it on our "Regular Spot" list. I'm not a big fan of pancakes unless they have bananas & macadamia nuts in them...so these are a real treat, especially at THIS place! I ordered 2 Banana Macnut pancakes with fresh fruit, Hubby enjoyed another one of their Breakfast Burritos. Our server, Farin has a great personality for this job & kept our coffee cups full. Knowing how HUGE the pancakes are, I asked her to bring me a to-go box right at the start (They actually reheat in the nuker very well if you can avoid putting butter or syrup on what you take home. Had to cut one pancake in quarters to get it to fit into the box!). This is a very clean and busy cafe with a great vibe, happy staff & happy customers. The perfect breakfast place!

Fantastic little ice cream shop right next to Costco. Parking can sometimes be a challenge…read moredepending on the time of day but it's definitely worth the visit. You can even make it a pre-Costco shopping delight stop. The menu is always changing but it feels like there's always something delicious to be had. My favorite is the Rocky Road where they actually add marshmallows on top and toast it for you. The Buttah Cakes has also been a recent gem that we've tried lately and it's absolutely delicious. Since it's freshly made, it's rich, creamy, and even a little scoop goes a long way. They even make waffle cones in store if you want to spruce things up for your dessert experience. The staff are friendly and handle rushes of customers well for the size of the shop. We're lucky to have a great shop like this in central Oahu so you don't have to drive all the way to town for a great ice cream fix.

I have been coming here since they were first open but I have not gotten around to reviewing them…read moreuntil now. I was craving ice cream. Let's just say this place changed A LOT over the past years. Service: 3/5 Waited about 5 minutes to get my order taken. There was a couple in front of me and the worker was chatting with them only. I was not aware of what she was doing until I realized I was waiting for a bit so I looked for myself and saw she was making a waffle cone. Would have appreciated if she told me "Be right with you!" She at least said thank you for waiting. Service used to be a bit more efficient from what I remembered in the past. While we were inside and eating our ice cream, 2 parties came in. They were waiting for about 3 minutes and I saw one of them looking around for the worker who went to the back. All we did was just shake our heads at this moment... Food: 3/5 Holy, these scoops though too. My sister and I paid $11 total for these tiny kid looking scoops. Ice cream tasted good but tastes mediocre now. I wanted a fruity flavor so I got the honeydew flavor that tasted like a melona without the stick. My sister's peanut butter and strawberry one was pretty good. However, I remember when they used to have flavors that I could not get elsewhere but it feels pretty basic nowadays. They give bigger single scoops at Baskin Robbin's for the same price or even a couple cents more. Ambiance: 5/5 I say there's ample enough seating and it feels clean and comfortable. I like sitting near the window but I just don't like that their one and only trash can is right next to that table. Verdict: I am not sure if I will be coming back. I noticed their flavors don't change as much as they used to. I remember being excited to see what's new but after today it seems like they been keeping things the same for awhile now. Between the size of the scoops, service, and the flavors I am not sure if I want to come back.

I enjoy Frost City and this was my first time visiting the Aiea location! I love how clean and…read morespacious it is, and they even use nice dishware haha. I ordered the small strawberry frost and it was yummy! I really like how this type of dessert is light and it comes with the fresh fruit and soft mochi pieces. Everyone enjoyed their frost and smoothies. The worker who took our order was friendly and our orders came out within a timely manner. Some of the people in our group also had fun with the claw machine! Frost City is a nice spot to have dessert and hangout!

Frost City is now in Aiea! I frequent the town location, so it's nice to also have one in Aiea…read more This is one of the few places (if not the only place) on Oahu that serves snow-like shave ice. I went with the mango and coconut combo. The mango was delicious, as always, but the coconut was far more subtle and ended up getting overpowered by the bold mango flavor. I'd probably order them separately next time. Despite the enjoyable shave ice, I knocked down a star for because of the lack of ventilation. The interior is actually a lot nicer than the one in town, but for some reason, it was pretty stuffy in there and the air was stale. It made for an uncomfortable dine-in experience.

I had a frightening and dangerous experience with the Crumbl Pearl City location…read more I ordered the Biscoff Thins cookie but received the Dubai Chocolate Double cookie instead. I have a tree nut allergy, and the Dubai cookie contains pistachio. After eating it, I had a serious allergic reaction and had to go to urgent care. I am still recovering from the physical effects. What made the situation even worse was the response afterward. A Crumbl online customer service associate initially told me that the cookie did not contain nuts, even though Crumbl's own allergen information identifies tree nuts. Emma, the Pearl City store manager, initially told me that she would speak with the staff. I was later offered a four-pack of cookies. A four-pack is not an appropriate response to giving a customer the wrong product, exposing them to a known allergen, causing a reaction that required urgent medical care, and then providing incorrect allergen information. I understand that customers with allergies must be careful, but I did not order the cookie that contained pistachio. I relied on Crumbl to give me the product I purchased. This was not a minor inconvenience. It was a serious food safety failure that could have had a much worse outcome. Crumbl corporate has said that the matter is being investigated, but their initial responses did not fully address the medical harm, ongoing symptoms, or seriousness of what happened. I am sharing this because customers with food allergies need to know how carefully they must check every item they receive from this location.
