    This restaurant is located in the Na Lama Kukui business complex. Parking was plentiful and the restaurant easy to find. Seating is unique in that tables are outside the restaurant but inside the complex's open area. I ordered the Khao Soi with tofu which was good but different from the Thai version I'm familiar with. I think it's supposed to be a Thai/Italian fusion dish. The flavor was light (my preference) but portion was rather small. I wished they provided more tofu. I wasn't quite full but that gave me an excuse for desert. They have many desert options and I ordered the Lilikoi chocolate. Like many more restaurants I've seen, they add a 3% charge if using your credit card.

    Came here for dessert after dinner, got guava Bavarian, Black Forest and lychee lime. The Black Forest was quite good, whereas the fruity ones were just meh. The cake base on both the fruit cakes were quite dry. The service was good and the place is quiet. I would come here again to try their regular food.

    Love the presentation. For $10 dollars for a small slice, I would at least add utensils and a tiny plate. It is delicious!

    Haven't been here in a while. Location is great with free parking, and servicewas great. I was disappointed with the Seafood Khao Soi and dessert which was just okay, but friends enjoyed their meals.

    I'm so happy I found this place! I was thinking about that little chocolate pyramid I used to get from JJ's in Kaimuki years ago. After a few searches I stumbled on this place. I was so excited to hear that the owner of JJ's reopened under the Tiny Pyramid. The space is so cute, it's tucked away in a design/industrial complex. The desserts were just as good as I remember them. I'll definitely be back to try some more!

    Nice place tucked away in the design center. Came for dessert on a weekday eve. Staff is friendly and the desserts all look great. Black Forest was excellent w a tasty chocolate mousse. The other mousse desserts were ok. Food menu looks good will try next time

    I had high hopes for Tiny Pyramid because most bakeries ive been to has always been amazing. However it was a bit of a let down. Tiny Pyramid is also a restaurant so I decided to have lunch here. I ordered the House Pizza (spicy) and the blend of all the flavors didn't really blend well. It was also quite oily and not spicy at all even though it's mentioned as spicy. I also ordered the green curry. It was wayyy to watery to be a curry and the shape of the rice being a pyramid is cute but its portion is so small, it left my friend hungry. Once again it was also too oily. As for the pastries, the citrus tart was a let down. The filling was not a cream of sort but GELATIN. I've never had a tart like this before and im disappointed that I did. One that I did like was their signature chocolate pyramid, their signature pastry of course. Just like some of the reviews, the service was average. The staffs do take awhile to connect with you for whatever reason but when they do they are friendly.

    Why don't more pastry bars exist??? Can we open more please? Asking for a friend. They have a bistro menu for lunch & dinner comprised of sandwiches, curry, pizza, pastas, etc. BUTTT the star of the show had to be all the pastries & baked goods. We spent about 10 minutes trying to decide which ones to get. Everything looked so so so delectable. We ended up getting a fruit tart, guava cake, and chestnut mousse. My fav was the tart-- perfectly fresh, flaky, and sweet. Definitely need to come back to try another assortment!

    I am sad to give 3 stars review as food was good although it took awhile. My entree was Crying belly. There was more of starch than protein. Tiny pyramid, chocolate mousse, was good. We got another dessert but it tasted old. The service and ambiance were just not there. I like to believe maybe we came here on a wrong evening. I book marked this place a long time but the location is kind of out of the way. It's located across from Liliha Bakery in two story building full of home interior stores like Abbey's Carpet. They have extensive desserts on display inside the restaurant but all the sittings are outside, open air but covered. With that said, if you don't mind the plastic smell from all the interior home interior stores you might like this place. It's quiet and peaceful. Parking is free.

    I came to the restaurant a few times and I like it. Friendly service, they treat the customers like their family. The food was great, the flavor was well balanced and there are varied desserts to choose. So, it was cozy and pleasant to dine in the restaurant.

    A find at the Tiny Pyramid... With so many places to see and experience Tiny Pyramid was one place that I had yet to try and it's probably seeing many seafood (allergic) on their menu that I haven't given them a chance though yes they do have several other options the choices are quite limited. On this day it was for a relaxing dessert time and after seeing all the various treats it was the perfect time to give them a peek and as they're located in the Nā Lama Kukui which is just before City Mill has lots of parking it was easy to find...much easier than my choices of desserts. As I entered the shop I wasn't prepared to see so many various desserts in their display case from the classic red velvet to the famous Chocolate Pyramid as each dessert done so beautifully so artful and each different in flavor I'm very impressed with the choices though sadly the rest of the shop is like an afterthought with a huge Grab N Go and Sip pricing signs though I'm sure all was great it didn't do much for me as the vibe was meh. I decided on a Lilikoi Iced Tea and Banana Haupia which I just couldn't resist to which we pay first and suggest cash or debit as they charge 3% for credit card transactions we then sat outside as the staff was to bring our orders to us and my tea was in a mason jar is a nice and very refreshing sip on this hot afternoon was very much needed and the Banana Haupia was a very very light and airy bite could I taste the banana...honestly not really but it was yummy and I thoroughly enjoyed it all as to just sip and relax was very nice and comforting. Thank you!

    Half and crab cake sandwich and salad! The dressing is bomb.

    Omg omg, this place is wonderful!! This is a hidden little sweet place that has a great food and amazing sweets. My only real complaint and it's not a bad one, I thought my cappuccino wasn't the best. Tasted more like an instant taste, but this could be a me issue. We ordered the strawberry shortcake, the tiny chocolate pyramid a cappuccino and a crab cake sandwich with an accompanying salad. $42 Service was fast and the lady working was kind and helpful and so nice. This place is hidden in a strip mall area. So you park and walk inside the mall. Its shaded and cool and adorable and has ample seating.

    Interesting menu with Asian fusion items and a wide selection of desserts to choose from behind a glass case. The location is pretty interesting, inside a business plaza with home furnishing stores, show rooms, interior design stuff, piano planet, a ballet academy, etc. and then there's a restaurant with tables outside in the hallway. We didn't think there would be people on a Wednesday night but we're wrong! Few tables were already occupied when we got there and more people were arriving after us! A lot of interesting things on the menu, so we decided to do the 4 course meal. They got a lot of lobster offerings so it's definitely tempting to just choose everything lobster. We almost did but didn't! We got two 4-course meals - lobster pad thai, poached lobster with fettuccine, soft shell crab, baked oysters, cream of corn soup and desserts from the glass case (azuki, le café and chocolate pyramid). The lobster was cooked well without being rubbery and was seasoned well too. Not the best lobster, but quite decent. The taste of the pad Thai was good, but the tofu wasn't very fresh. I wish the sauce on the fettuccine was a little thicker and creamier, it's almost like a milky sauce. The soft shell crab was just one piece and it was small. I think we got it because it's something other than lobster. The oysters were tiny after they're cooked and it was just mayo on top, it could use some garnish? The star of the show was definitely the cream of corn soup. So good!!! I could eat 2 bowls of those. I also enjoyed their famous chocolate pyramid. It's like a thick mousse with cocoa powder on top. The cake part of their desserts was a bit dry. Overall I enjoyed the meal. Their menu has other interesting items I wanna try so I think I'll come back!

    Lamb Wellington. This is very tasty. The puff pastry is delicious. This restaurant is consistently good.

I enjoyed the bottled drinks a couple days later, it was a refreshing treat. The staff were friendly & it didn't take long for us to get our drinks. The only challenge may be finding parking as they have only a few stalls in front. We ended up parking a little up the street on the opposite side. It was a short walk to the cafe & well worth it! Will be stopping by again soon for my matcha & tea fix.

While I'm trying to figure it out he asks me to step away from the counter. Mind you, I was seated, he called me up for part of my order, AND didn't tell me what the drink he called my name for was. He had a flow and wanted some space and I don't want to stand at the counter so it was no big deal. Then while I am waiting of to the side for the other beverages, he tells a regular customer that they are out of cold brew and asks if he would like an americano (after he just handed me a cold brew) so either I got the last cold brew on a Friday at 10am or they played me and gave me an americano. Those two things together made me feel like it wasn't a welcome space for people who weren't regulars.

Not sure if the powder was a bit heavy that day or if the water temperature played a role, but I wouldn't order that one again. There are still other flavors I haven't tried, plus milk alternatives like oat milk available. A fun touch is the cameras they place on the tables so you can snap photos of your drink, yourself, friends, or whatever. Just know they may post some of the pics on their social media from time to time--it's a cute way to bring the community together. Hours are short, so check their socials before heading over.

Then someone walked by with a matcha drink and I knew I needed to check out Panday's booth. There was a small line of customers and the guy was working hard to chat with people, collect payments and make drinks. When it was my turn, I ordered the "Biko" coffee which is their special Filipino rice/coconut/condensed milk coffee. He said he probably didn't have enough and I should look over the menu to see if I had a second choice. I chose the banana matcha and he said he didn't have any banana syrup. I mean maybe the event was so popular that he ran out of drinks quicker than expected. I guess he was the only food/drink vendor at the event and it was a hot day.... In the end, he had enough Biko for my drink and everything was fine. It was a good latte and flavorful, but idk if I'd go out of my way to find it in the future. I do want to try the banana matcha still though. For a one man operation, this guys is killing it. He makes the espresso shots to order, so drinks may take a little while to get made. He was good at chatting up people in line while we waited though. Hopefully I'll see panday coffee at another event soon!
