    Liliko'i bars ($12 for eight, 1 oz bars) Very good, but pricey
    Joe P.

    My travel companion wanted cookies after we returned to our hotel after dinner. We were both searching the internet for perhaps delivery, or something nearby: Wow! Cookie Corner was 450 feet away. We stayed at the Royal Hawaiian, so we thought it might be in RHC (Royal Hawaiian Center). However, TCC is actually in the adjacent Sheraton. They have other flavors, but she said Liliko'i are the best. I have to admit, the cookies are soft, and the Liliko'i flavor is strong. It is like eating a lemon bar, Hawaiian Style! The texture is a nice change of pace fr the shortbread cookies mfd by numerous islands. The only downside is the price - $12 for eight cookies. If you are looking for something to bring back fr the islands, besides the traditional chocolate covered mac nuts, TCC is a good alternative. Tge cookies are really good, and the flavor really stand out.

    Melted Marson top, Graham underneath a chocolate chip cookie. OMG.

    After seeing, I mean smelling, The Cookie Corner in the Sheraton lobby, I so wanted to try the S'more cookie. Basically a chocolate chip cookie with a grahmin cracker smushed underneath and topped with melted marshmallow. Oh, yea. That was talking to me! Unfortunately I was on my morning walk and had no money so all I could do was look, smell and walk away. The lady behind the counter actually looked sorry for me! I have been to this location before and they have the largest variety. Because they are in the Sheraton they get a lot more traffic so the fresh baked counter is always well stocked. And dozens and dozens of prepackaged boxes on display also. After having these cookies, everyone wants to buy a box or two to take home or for gifts! They are that good!

    Love The Cookie Corner! Fresh Baked Cookies and chocolate chip is always my favorite. This location is in the lobby area of the hotel and great to pick up gifts to bring back home to California. Store and staff helpful excellent experience if you have not tried their cookies

    Hard burnt cookie
    Jenn J.

    Terribly hard. They were not fresh at all. I use to salivate over cookie corner when I landed in Honolulu. Now I have negative thoughts about them. Overpriced.not worth the price even if they were free. At home dollhouse cookies taste better

    Looking for a soft cookie
    Crystal G.

    They sure do make a five star cookie. After a day full of fun in the sun hit the spot perfectly soft cookie!

    Chocolate Chip Cookie
    Kimberly J.

    This Cookie Corner location is super close to our Airbnb. That is dangerous! Oh how we enjoy their freshly baked cookies. My nose always finds this place before I even see it. Their Chocolate Chip cookie is all that and then some. Freshly baked, perfect consistency, warm gooey chocolate chips, and spot on flavor. Their Fruit Bars are also excellent! Employees are sweet and helpful. Though they open at 8 am, they don't offer their freshly baked cookies until later. They also close at 10:30 pm, but if you go after 5 pm you will have very little variety to choose from.

    After passing by everyday of my trip I had to stop in.. the smell of fresh baked cookies when you walk by is enough to to drag you in.. but the cookie that was on promotion had me.. peanut butter cookie with a Reese's peanut butter cup on top.. Sold.. the cookie was soo good honestly it didn't need the peanut butter cup ..

    Scott F.

    You order them and they are freshly baked. I went to the one at Ala Moana mall and the line wasn't long and the cookie I got was still warm and tasty.

    Cookies are fresh & delicious. The little ladies making them are all chatty af and will help you decide what to get. If you have any allergies they ask. They bull you by the pound. Overpriced, yes; delicious most definitely.

    That awkward moment when you realize there are three Cookie Corners on the same street in Waikiki and you can't find the listing for the one you want. . . There's a CC across from the Honolulu Zoo, which is below the Aston Beach Hotel. And there's a CC connected to the Sheraton Hotel. I'm talking about the CC that's in between these locations closest to the International Marketplace and next to Häagen-Daz... yeah that one! For the month of September TO CELEBRATE THEIR 35TH ANNIVERSARY.. CC is offering $1 cookies for anyone that shows that they're following CC on Facebook. NO LIMIT! How did I decide which flavors I wanted? Well I didn't, I looked for the cookies that were prepared to my liking -fat and half baked. I hand selected two chocolate chip and left them in my car while I ran a few errands... boom Chocolate Chip Cookie perfection. Hands down my favorite cookie on the island. And at $1 each, you can't beat it. If you're more of a crunchy cookie fan they've got that too, in addition to those yummy tropical fruit bars (lime, lemon, lilikoi) too sweet for me. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY COOKIE CORNER!

These fried, sugar-coated dough balls, often filled with custard or haupia, are beloved for their fluffy texture and association with tradition, especially "Malasada Day" (Fat Tuesday). And Leonard's Bakery malasadas are popular in Hawaii because they are served fresh, hot, and fluffy, establishing the Portuguese doughnut as a staple island treat since 1952. Founder Leonard Rego pioneered commercializing them, creating a cult following for the crisp-on-the-outside, doughy-on-the-inside treats. There's nothing like a nice, hot, and fresh malasada. At $2.20 each, there's just no point resisting. Twinsie "Auntie" Nadine C. dragged me here, told me where to take the Instagram shot, and the correct stance to tear into these pillowy fried dough balls. Yum.

The line in front of the store was always super long but surprisingly moving super swift. The store didn't have sit-down space but a lot of people enjoyed their orders right in front of the store as it's indeed highly recommended to enjoy while warm. Their iconic items were surely the Malasadas, basically fried sugar-coated doughnut, which came in the option of unfilled (default) and filled. We got the ones filled with Chocolate and Macadamia Nut custard. They're lusciously fluffy with just right sweetness for the filling. Worth trying for the experience.

However, there are many alternative malasada purveyors throughout Honolulu, so I depended on local vloggers to find the best ones. This one popped up often on YouTube, and as luck would have it, we were dining at The Pig & The Lady on the next block. How calorifically convenient. We took the opportunity to stop by for a pre-dinner snack since they closed at 6PM. It's a cute shop with multiple sweets including quite a selection of housemade ice cream and delectable mouthfuls called Cake Bombs (Photo 10). We decided we would be good and ordered one unfilled Malasada each. Dusted with various sugar flavors, they were just $2.65 a piece. I went for the Coffee, while Jamie chose the daily special, Cinnamon (Photo 6). They were soft and tasty, quite comparable to Leonard's albeit a tad smaller. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing since we had dinner ahead of us. However, we let temptation get the best of us and shared a $5.50 slice of the Ube Haupia Mac Nut Bar, a yummy combination of sweet potato and ube topped with haupia (coconut milk pudding) on a macadamia nut crust (Photo 9). Truth be told, it stole the show from the malasadas. FOOD - 4 stars... the malasadas were good, but that ube dessert was next level AMBIANCE - 4 stars...really a takeout operation with a lot of temptations SERVICE - 4 stars...very calm and orderly TOTAL - 4 stars...yet another spot for sweet Hawaiian decadence RELATED - Exploring Hawaii?

Please be patient with the help as well because most of the time it is just them trying to handle the huge barrage of people waiting in line as well as dine-in customers.

Three staff members present and not one offered so much as an aloha or hello. For a local, "Hawai'i based business", the complete absence of aloha was jarring. I came ready to try all kinds stuff, especially matcha, but only ended up only smelling it, because the energy in that room made it clear my presence as a Black man wasn't wanted or needed. If business is going so well that customer service is optional, congratulations. But for the rest of us who show up hoping to feel welcome for overspending on your match and ice cream, especially in a place that's supposed to represent the spirit of these islands -- this wasn't it. This is clearly one of those places that feel like they're too good to serve you if you're not meeting their aesthetic. Yeah, very Beverly Hills (attempt, but likely wouldn't do well there), kinda "clicky" like vibe, snooty, haughty seeming like vibe, maybe a lil tad bit stuck up, and for the tiny little portion and "big show" , I probably would have liked it somewhat, but also would have felt guilty for paying a fortune to be treated that way lol This place likely won't be around in a year, by the vibe I'd say it's slow times (wonder why). I know I will, happy to spend even more down the road- so many to choose from, trust me this place ain't unique in my experience. In these times, be kind to yourself, and love yourself enough to go where you're treated best, people.

I've always been a fan of them since they were in the old 99 Ranch so I wasn't complaining about going there lol. We parked in the open lot on the left of the store. But you could also park in the parking inside. When we entered, it's a very small store that's hard to walk around if there's people in there with you. We got the fruit parfait cups, the fresh mango mochi, and the ones on the stick (which I forgot to take a pic of). The parfait cups were good with cream cheese, strawberries, and mochi. I didn't care for the mochi with the sweet soy sauce on it although I know that's what Japan is known for. And the fresh mango mochi was good. The only thing I didn't like was the Lima bean paste inside. I'm not a fan of that. I would recommend eating fast since it's fresh and the wetness of the mango can make the mochi soft and rip. I'm glad we got to try new items. Can't wait to go back and get their peanut butter mochi and other favs. The cashier that helped us was very nice and gave us a bag even though we said we didn't need one.
