What a great idea! Love that extra crunch when eating the crepes. The service was so friendly and SO patient while we were trying to figure out what flavors we wanted in our crepes. Thankfully we beat the crowd that came after we got our order. One of the owners also came around with samples of a product they are wanting to roll out soon so that was a lot of fun to give them our input. Support small business while enjoying a delicious dessert and talking story! Will definitely be back!!

You can tell he's so proud of everything he sells (rightly so!). The Dole Whip Float is my ultimate davorite here. The passion-guava orange juice in it is so refreshing out in the heat.

I've romanticized Hawaii for years. Not because of the perpetual sunshine or the beaches or the…read moreunbelievably fresh seafood. But because of the humble but magical Dole Whip. I had dreamed about visiting the Dole Plantation on Oahu and getting "Hawaii's complete pineapple experience" (according to their Google SEO result), whatever that might be. But little did I know that I'd be getting another sort of bona fide pineapple experience in Hawaii instead... in the Royal Hawaiian Center, a beautiful outdoor mall in Waikiki. I almost walked past Kokoro Cafe on the second floor. If you've ever gotten dessert in a mall food court, you know the drill. Atmosphere is what it is, but the service was super fast and there was no line by the time we were heading out after dinner. They offer a few different Dole Whip options: you can get it in a cup, a shaka-shaped waffle cone, or float form with POG (pineapple, orange, and guava) juice. Since I had been waiting for so long, I wanted to taste the Dole Whip in its purest form, so I got it in a cup. The pineapple soft serve was creamy and soft, flavorful without being saccharine.

Must try if you are in Waikiki. It was delicious!…read more Huge line but it's worth it. Great casual location and I'll definitely be back if in the area or on the next vacation.

Island Vintage Shave Ice is clearly popular--there was a long line every time I passed by. They…read morehave a kiosk where you place your order, choose one of their preset creations, or build your own. It's convenient, but also pretty pricey and very impersonal. I preferred the small, charming shave‑ice shops I found on other islands like Kauai. I ordered a simple shaved ice without any of the extra toppings or ice cream, and it was still over $10. And unlike Henry's, where I know the sorbet is made from fresh fruit, I wasn't sure what Island Vintage uses for their syrups. Since Henry's is walkable from here, that's definitely where I'll go instead.

My wife did some searching here on Yelp for a place and saw that this place had some great reviews so we came to check it out. Ducked off in what I would describe as a parking garage, they have a walk up window that you can come to an order. Watch out for the moving cars! They had tons of options and many combinations for you to choose from. I was feeling pretty basic on this day, so I just got a shaved ice with half cherry and half grape. So good! They put a ton of flavor in the ice. There wasn't a bite that didn't taste just like plain ice. I got the keiki size, and as you can see from the picture I have it's a pretty big portion. Honestly, big enough for two people to share. I would highly recommend this place!

My original Lady M review is in Waikiki Tea because they are located inside. When you walk by on…read moreBeach Walk, you'll see a board saying Lady M with photos of their famous crepe cakes. The awning above will say Waikiki Tea. It's immediately after an open parking lot if you're walking or driving down the one way street. I'm not sure if you can park in there or not but I found loading zone parking so I parked there and walked over. When you enter, you'll see some indoor seating, the coffee prep area and a display case of some of their cakes. It's a cozy spot but clean and white. My most recent visit was to pick up a birthday cake for a friend. He's been talking about it so I figured it would be something nice to surprise him with. Hopefully he enjoys the surprise and is able to share the cake with all his loved ones. Due to the holidays, Lady M is busy and sells out so preordering is best. I was just extremely lucky they had a Signature cake available the day I called. The person on the phone took down my info and asked what time I was going to pick up the cake then put it on the side for me. Unfortunately, they don't hand write Happy Birthday on the cake but they did provide me a complimentary Happy Birthday cake topper which was nice. Overall great cake option for any occasion.

Lady M on Beach Walk in Waikiki! What a gem!!! It's a small cake boutique next to towering hotels…read moreso it can be said missed. It doesn't look much from the outside. They have 3 free parking stalls. You can also find street parking either on Beach Walk or Saratoga Road. I walked in and was greeted with a friendly smile. His name is Kevin. You will also see a wide selection of Royce Chocolates display on the right side of the wall and in front of you the glass display of the world's famous Mille Crêpes. Kevin helped us decide on our black box Royce Chocolates. It's a little pricey but the black quality of the chocolate is divinely melt in your mouth full of rich, creamy goodness and delicious chocolate!!! Royce' is famous for the Nama chocolates all the way from Japan. But guess what?! You don't need to fly to Japan to get your hands on them! Just drive yourself to Beach Walk in Waikiki and I guarantee you'll thank me for it!! Yup, you will! ;) We also picked up a few flavors of the Lady M Mille Crêpes. We got Amedei Chocolate, Pistachio, Chestnut and Tiramisu. Each layers of the cake is made with perfection!!! I paired mine with an ice caramel macchiato. It would probably taste better with a hot caramel macchiato but it was a little sunny so I opted for the ice drink. The coffee is also sooo good!!! It almost remind me of the coffee I had in France! I thought I'd never find a better caramel macchiato here in Honolulu than Starbucks! I was completely wrong! Kevin, thank you so much for making my first visit so memorable! You were kind with a friendly smile and lots of aloha!!! Come visit Lady M! Whether you come in for their world's famous Mille Crêpes, Royce' chocolates or meet Kevin, I know you'll love this place! Thank you for reading my review. Have a great week!!!

Kulu Kulu is a small bakery located on the second floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center. I noticed it…read morewhen I was eating malasadas one morning and saw a small girl carrying around the cutest slice of rainbow cake. I was too full at the moment to order more food, but I returned on my last evening in Oahu to order a slice of rainbow cake for myself. It was somewhat early in the evening -- probably around 6PM or so -- so the Royal Hawaiian Center food court was getting a little busy but there were still empty tables around. The bakery itself had a few people in line so I perused the display case for other desserts. They had quite a few interesting ones: lilikoi basque cheesecake, Diamond Head puff custard, ube cake. Unfortunately, my appetite is much smaller than it once was, but the cakes looked delicious and the people in front of me all ordered their cakes ahead of time, so they are quite in demand! The cashier took my order quickly and I was able to get a slice of rainbow cake, which had fluffy cream and moist layers of colorful cake. The flavor reminded me of fruity pebbles, but without being overly sweet the way children's cereal used to be. I really liked eating it because it didn't make me feel guilty eating a dessert. I hope I can return to Kulu Kulu sometime and try their other desserts a well!

Penny's is one of my first stops every time I visit Waikiki. We tried their ube, classic, nutella,…read morekona coffee, yuzu, and strawberry jam flavors this time. All are delicious but ube remains our favorite. Penny's can get busy during the day (deservedly!) so you may need to wait ~10 minutes for your malasadas. Very worth it, though, and I appreciate that Penny's makes their malasadas fresh to order. They come out piping hot, fresh, pillowy soft, and delicious. Can't wait to come back next time!

You have to order a minimum of 3, they don't have just 1, probably doesn't make sense to just sell just 1. We got 2 regular cream filling and an ube one. The regular cream filling was nice hot and gooey, maybe too hot because the cream was pretty watery. The pastry was fluffy and warm, it was really fresh. It was good but the filling was too watery, but will still hit the spot if you're craving bc a malasada.

I ordered the Flat White ice cream, and it did not disappoint. The coffee flavor came through perfectly without being overpowering, and it was easily one of the better coffee-flavored ice creams I've had. If I had more time, I definitely would've gone back to try one of their milkshakes. They have been sold out of their popsicles for some time, I really want to try that next time. The ordering process was quick and efficient. I placed my order and had my ice cream within minutes, even with a steady flow of customers. The shop was clean, modern, and a fun place to stop for dessert. I also love the concept of mixing cereal into ice cream. It's simple, nostalgic, and surprisingly delicious. There are plenty of cereal combinations to choose from, making it worth coming back to try something different. If you're already in the area shopping at Kith, this is an easy stop that's more than just social media hype. The ice cream is genuinely good, and I'd happily return to work my way through the rest of the menu.

Next time I think I'd go with no whipped cream though because it ended up taking up a good chunk of the cup towards the middle.
