We found this bakery as a happy accident on a scenic drive to the North Shore. It was closed by the…read moretime we stopped by so we had to make time to go the second time around. On this visit, we got a full spread! We got a box of all of the things and it didn't disappoint. I was so excited to choose all kinds of pastries for my box. At this point, everything is already in my tummy and I've already crossed memory lane, so I can't tell you the names of every pastry but what I can tell you is take the scenic drive. Check out the businesses you normally wouldn't have stopped by. Visit the Yelp page. Look at recommendations from fellow Yelpers! When I'm curious of a place and I'm not convinced yet, I always go to Yelp to see what the people have to say and the people love the pastries here for good reason. This place has some good pastries. I would come back just to satisfy the sweet tooth again. I will say, leave the snow puffs for enjoying when you're not in your vehicle unless you're okay with a mess lol

We love the flaky pastries filled with custard. My husband and kids also love their chocolate chip macadamia cookies. They also have classics like ensemadas, an pan, twisted donuts. It can get crowded inside as it's a very small shop. Staff are very friendly

Went to Ted's everyday that I was staying in the North Shore and everything we had was delicious…read more For breakfast I loved the spam egg and cheese sandwich, so good! We also tried the loco moco which was great, but it's quite a bit of food. I shared with my partner and we weren't able to finish it. One of my friends who used to live in Honolulu told me I HAVE to get the garlic shrimp and Ted's is where it's at. She was absolutely right about that!!! Best garlic shrimp I had on the trip. I wish I could go back just for the plate. We also tried the chocolate haupia pie which was delicious & the plain glazed was soooo light and fluffy. Plenty of parking in the lot & access to a public restroom. It can get busy but they're very quick with your food. Seating is outside under an umbrella.

When in the North Shore you've gotta stop at Ted's!…read more Ordered: Chocolate Haupia Cream Pie: 4.5/5 Surprise to no one that I ordered this. Honestly I liked it! I didn't think it was too sweet especially for the hour I went and got this. It's almost a little lighter than a cheesecake consistency wise so I think one slice is actually more filling than you think. It could be shareable. But the whip cream balances out the richness nicely. Loco Moco: 4/5 - My first official loco moco! It was quite tasty! Definitely a hearty meal and this one is good to feed two people easily my god. Realistically great for the price. Service: Fast during the time I went. The line was short in the morning but once I got my food it was out the door. I'd say however it moves quickly. There's plenty of seating. They even have an extra back space where the restrooms are. They have a parking lot but most people parked on the road probably assuming there wasn't space. Glad to have tried a classic!

They sell autumn specials, I got the brown sugar chai which the cashier recommended that it'd be a little more spiced and autumn like, though I kind of wish I opted out for the banana nutmeg Matcha, which she said would be more sweet. I also got the breakfast Bahmi. I really like the sourdough. It's all a lot more than just food and drinks too. They have T-shirts, art, desserts and so much. I like the vibe in general everyone's super chill and mellow very different vibe than town. And I really liked the vibey music they were playing.

We were doing a North Shore day and I wanted our first stop to be coffee. I had heard a lot about…read moreMele Mele Bakery, so I was excited to finally check it out! I got one of their specials which was the honey lilikoi latte. I remember it being good, it was more on the sweet and milky side, which I didn't mind. My boyfriend also tried a couple of their pastries, including the pineapple sausage roll and a cinnamon pastry/roll. He didn't care for them since they were pretty dry. Overall, this place was ok! Coffee wasn't bad but I'd probably skip the pastries. I do really like the vibe and how cute the whole place is. They have a large menu and even merch, so there's plenty to check out.

It was a friend's birthday coming up and we were renting a cabin on the North Shore, and stopped by Kilani Bakery to grab a cake and candles. My friends had never had a chantilly cake before, so we had to go with that. They have a square / rectangle cake that was the perfect size to feed ten of us. I like that it wasn't too overly sweet!

My issues are some of the ladies behind the counter are really grumpy, my last visit I asked about my points knowing I was getting close to my free brownies, the lady told me I don't have enough and cleared the screen. I told her I should have enough and she said they changed the points. Huh. No explanation on where my points went to. You folks need better counter people to get us to return. Please correct this. Still looking to find out about the new point system and why my previous points are gone

What can I say besides COME HERE AND COME EARLY!…read more We showed up at 5:34 AM and somehow I was STILL number 10 in line. After trying everything, I completely understand why Leonard's is such a staple. Everything comes out HOT, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The malasadas are obviously the stars of the show, but do yourself a favor and try a range of flavors! The guava was my personal favorite, while the macadamia cream reminded several of us of wedding cake, in the absolute best way. Don't sleep on the butter mochi! It's AMAZING, and the ube was a particular standout. Honestly, this is one of those places that absolutely lives up to the hype. Worth the early wake-up call, worth the line, and worth every calorie. Just go!

It wasn't too sweet and I thought the flavor was overall nice on the dough. They seemed freshly made! Service was fairly quick! We ordered inside and then picked up the donuts outside.

Great excuse to go again! There was a line, but it moved quickly. You could tell which items were popular cuz their spot was empty. However, they were quickly replaced. Everything was delicious!!! I did bring some items to share with coworkers. I bought my breakfast and lunch from this quaint bakery. It took me back to my visit to Japan! Loved it! Will definitely be back!!!

I needed to occupy myself after I dropped hubs off for his first cataract surgery…read more After doing some retail therapy at NR I had half an hour to spare. Hubs had to fast from 6 am for his 2 pm surgery so I thought he would probably be starving and would enjoy a delectable salt and butter roll from here. At $4.50 a piece I consider this a luxury for us. I found a close stall in the parking structure. A very cheerful polite male employee took my order. I had seen two occupied tables as I walked into the shop. Both had matcha drinks. Why not? I asked the young man assisting me, what's the best matcha drink? He said his favorite was banana matcha with extra banana foam. Okay I'll try it. He repeated it to the cashier. So popular there was a wait for beverages to be prepared. Soon enough mine was ready. I think Doc would enjoy this drink. This shop is a working bakery. Many yummy pastries displayed. Menu is posted high up above to choose from. Rather tiny shop with room for customers to stand in line to order and wait for drinks. Clean, busy with a few tables and chairs outside but pretty much in direct sun.
