You will get an assortment of goods from every business that you order a mystery box from vis Save A Bite. Located on Kakala Street off of the main strip - Kapolei Parkway...where few vehicles stay near the speed limit. A stone's throw from the neighborhood park. They are open Fridays thru Sundays from 800a to 200p. They also cater. I ate the Oreo cream cupcake and Ube cake pop...both were good but almost too sweet. Almost ordered a latte and with all that sugar...I would have had a hard time sleeping. Revised my rating based on the cupcake that had the peanut butter frosting. I have a thing for peanut butter...like I do with attractive women...and that is worth an extra star.

There's a whole row dedicated to macadamia nuts, priced better than Target or the ABC stores. They also have a poke bar, along with the usual Japanese bento boxes, sushi rolls (nigiri), sashimi, and onigiri. Pokémon cards are sold here, but may be sold out by the time you see this. Come early for the andagi donuts (before 2p) otherwise there's a small table set up before the registers to buy a 3, 5 or a dozen. I was able to score a pair of steaks for $8 for my birthday dinner!

Super cool shop! We…read moreloved the Donki stores in Japan when we went last year so we were surprised to see one in Kapolei this week while driving around. Very fun place to walk around. Prices for merchandise are pretty high, like $30-50 for a medium Hello Kitty plush, but I guess everything in Hawaii is pretty expensive. But what we loved about this store was the grocery section. They had an amazing selection of grab-and-go foods. We had a scrumptious dinner of donburi, teriyaki chicken bento, tuna oniguri, bluefin otoro nigiri and more. Husband is here on a business trip, so work paid for our meals. Keeping up with the inventory is quite a feat at Donki stores--there's SO MUCH stuff! Definitely a fun place to walk around because there's so much to see. My husband and I agreed that it would be so awesome if there was a store like this closer to us in Rocklin.

Here you'll find little sweet bites of heaven!!…read more Kotonaru is a gem I found at the Ono Grindz & Mākeke at Kapolei Commons it's held every Sundays from 9am-1pm on the huge grassy lawn near the Theaters. These guys create beautiful intricate works of art almost too pretty to eat. Today they had little tartlets and mini cheesecake bites. Also mini dessert parfaits gah so super cute!!! I got the mini tarts which are $12 for 8 pieces - Fruit Cream Cheese - Cookies and Cream - Coffee - Ube - Cookie Butter - Strawberry Cream - Blueberry Cream - Chocolate I can't wait to try them though they are delicate and they recommend it's not to be refrigerated in 60 to 90 minutes. So I took a break in my air conditioned car to give them more time lol! Follow the on Instagram @kotonarullc as they do have many other flavors and other pop ups as well...life is certainly sweeter!!! Thank you!!

I love that you get the fresh drink with fresh fruit chunk bites with it too. It's like you get a drink and a snack at the same time. I recommend this drink to everyone!

So today I was very lucky there was no line. I really wanted to try the pineapple, but I'm on restrictions so I can't have any citrus. I heard the banana coconut was good too but it was not available. So I got the watermelon. I loved it! It was very refreshing. Every sip I would get the small pieces of the blended watermelon. I would have gone back to get more but I didn't finish my 32oz drink. I love that they don't skimp on the drink either. You know like some places they pack it with ice so there's very minimal drink. Here they put enough ice to keep it cold and maximize the drink.

I met the couple behind this small business several times at pop ups events throughout the island. They are not only serving delicious, sweet, and addictive pies.... But also smiles and aloha. I highly recommend getting the sampler so you can try all the flavors. I love their ube, choco macnut, and coffee macnut flavors especially! It's great for family of all ages! Please be mindful for any nut allergies! They mentioned how the pie is inspired from their Grandma. The business is in remembrance of honoring her. The pies are crafted wit love and care, and meant to be shared to create new memories of love and care.

I got the flight of tarts with 5 different flavors: pumpkin, ube, vanilla/original, coffee, and chocolate. The tart was really soft. The topping of the tart was filled with macnuts.

This is my absolute favorite bakery on Oahu! They have two…read moreconvenient locations--one inside Ala Moana Center in Waikiki and another in Kapolei right near Safeway and Longs Drugs. The Kapolei spot has super easy parking by Safeway, making it effortless to pop in. One of the main reasons I love coming here is that every single pastry is individually wrapped. It feels so clean, hygienic, and makes it super easy to grab treats to share with friends or family. Everything they make is delicious, but here are my absolute top recommendations: Walnut Raisin Multigrain Bread: Hands down my favorite! It has a subtle sweetness from the raisins and a fantastic, hearty texture. If you're searching for an incredible multigrain raisin bread, this is the one to get. Chocolate Muffin: So light, fluffy, and rich in deep chocolate flavor without being overly sweet. If you enjoy chocolate cake, you'll love this muffin. Red Bean Paste Sweet Bread: Wrapped in incredibly soft, pillowy bread with a perfectly balanced, non-cloying red bean filling. Cookies: Consistently delicious and very reasonably priced! They also have a fantastic app and rewards program. You can easily order online for quick pickup while earning points toward free pastries or coffee. On top of the amazing baked goods, the customer service is always warm, friendly, and efficient at checkout. This place truly brings a smile to my face every time I visit, and I'll definitely keep coming back to support them! Love this bakery!

OMG YOU GUYS! I'm…read moreseriously torn about telling all of Oahu about this place or keeping this hidden, tucked away gem all to myself! It's that good! Parking in the plaza for paying customers of any store there. If you go up the stairs in the middle of the plaza to the second floor, make a left, a right & then it's the very first shop on your left. You'll see a whiteboard with all of the goodies she has on sale, along with the flavors & prices (how convenient!) The shop is cute & small but these cupcakes, they pack a punch! I love anything carrot & cheesecake, so of course I get the carrot cheesecake cupcake... I also got the strawberry cheesecake. The cupcake is moist, I could tell it was gonna be good by how the paper stuck to its moisture lol. There's actually carrot pieces inside, and you can even see the spices in there. I believe there's cream cheese icing on top, delish! And there's pecans sprinkled on top of that. When you bite inside, there's the best cream cheese filling to top it all off! Listen, I could eat a dozen of these...... in one sitting! 12/10 recommend!

I love this place have great cupcakes. I became a cook cake fan years ago when I was dating a woman…read morewho was making cupcakes and brought me them on my first date some high-end very good cupcakes that's why I went out with her to be frankly honest . She now looks like she makes cupcakes, but it's one of the drawbacks I guess for being in that business is it can't be healthy surrounded by cupcakes. Never trust a fat chef as well as never trust a person in the health industry who's fat . But I digress - these are the best cupcake makers even better than she was, and she could make some hell of a cupcakes. If you're in the area, grab a coffee grab a cupcake. They're very good. They're very nice people as well.
