Passion Bakery Cafe is an absolute must if you're on the hunt for fresh malasadas! We came bright…read moreand early, and it was 100% worth it. We ordered the Lilikoi, Haupia, and Ube malasadas -- and WOW. All of them were so good, but the ube was our favorite! Soft, fluffy, perfectly sweet, and filled with so much flavor. You can really taste the freshness. The employees were also so sweet and kind, which made the experience even better. It's always nice to feel welcomed, especially early in the morning. Another big plus is the private parking lot with plenty of spaces -- super convenient! There's also lots of outdoor seating in a courtyard surrounded by beautiful plumeria trees (and some friendly chickens walking around), which adds to the whole island charm. Such a delicious and peaceful spot to start your day -- we'd definitely come back again!

Went to Passion Bakery for breakfast to try their "famous malasadas". Got the guava filled malasada…read moreand also too their Java Chip Mocha Frappuccino. Unfortunately being from Oahu with having Leonard's Bakery malasadas, these malasadas were rather mid compared to that. The guava filling was the artificially flavored type. But other than that it was a decent/above average sweet treat. The malasadas itself I'd say was 3 stars. However, the star was the Java Chip Mocha Frappuccino. The thing I loved most about it was that the java chips were small enough where it never got stuck in the straw and was evenly consistent with every sip. By far the best java chip mocha frappuccino in my book! I'd come back for this one. It made starbucks seem mid tbh. Service was friendly and efficient. And the ambiance, though quite small it was fresh with the smell of a malasadas bakery :) Plus a few tables and plenty parking outside. Overall I'd give it a 4 stars. Definitely coming back for that java chip frappuccino YUM!!!

The woman at the cash register was so patient and understanding of any question we had. She helped us choose options, and recommended certain entrees based on what we were each craving and enjoy eating. There were many things I wanted to try, but I went ahead and went with the salmon with miso based on her recommendation. It did not disappointment! It was so light, yet extremely flavorful. The salad as well comes with a light and tangy calamansi dressing. There is also ample of seating inside. We went about an hour or so before closing, and the place was packed. I don't know if it's always like this, but people were also showing up 10-15 mins before closing and continue to stagger in. We were able to snag a table while waiting for our food to be ready. I'd definitely come back here again. Mahalo for the kind welcome and I look forward to visiting again.

Update 1/24/26: I can't remember the last time I gave a food establishment a 2 star rating. I…read moreordered again via Uber Eats & the driver was really communicative about letting me know that they were out of the multi grain bread for my footlong tuna sandwich. Yet after I received my order, I opened my sandwich & found it to be sloppily done. Barely any pickles, olives & random TINY pieces of banana peppers... & NO provolone cheese! I had to go into my kitchen & pull some cheese out of the fridge to put on my sandwich! I did not pay $20 for this! At least they toasted it this time as I had asked in my prior delivery order, when they didn't. Excuse the darker photo. I wasn't feeling well today & had the curtains drawn at home. I rarely leave a 3 star or less review. But this review isn't about the food; food is always great here, no complaints there! This is about a KEY PART of the SERVICE. I was on the UberEats app yesterday in the process of putting an order together. I usually order the cookie box along with my sandwich & after remembering that they usually start to run out of cookies later in the day, I decided to give them a call to confirm whether they actually had certain flavors available. I tried to call in TWICE around 6pm & both times, the phone just rang & rang & rang... this is not the first time I've tried to call in either & there's no answer. Same thing has happened other times too & from there, I generally lose interest in ordering altogether, as I don't end up finding out UNTIL AFTER my order is delivered & I look in my bag, that they didn't have or were out of what I wanted. With that said, I know they're not the busiest of stores, because I've ordered at different times & I've even sat inside to eat. The store location is sort of tucked back in a corner of the shopping center with very low or slow foot traffic. Not answering the phone though, loses business & the only reason I'm giving 3 stars instead of 4, is because it's happened multiple times.
