UBAE - Front of the store - Desserts Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I ordered a party platter of tarts a few days before I needed them over the phone. The process was easy and I made the payment over the phone for Saturday pick up. I was able to pick them up anytime during open hours on Saturday and when I got them home, I put them in the fridge because I was going to serve at noon on the next day. They were busy on a Saturday but I was able to find parking in the lot and run in and out with my order. I served these at my son's baseball playoffs potluck and they were a hit and went fast! I love the buttery shortbread crust paired with the light creamy ube center!! Such a unique and perfectly sweet flavor! A friend told me I should I have tried the ube crinkle cookies too and I stopped by a day later to grab some. They were sold out for the day but Aileen at the counter was able to quickly pack me at least 2 bags which I so appreciated! I can't wait for another event to order another platter! And I hope they start selling at shops on the windward side! read more

Ordered the ubae krinkles and it was surprisingly delicious. Next time I'll have to try the other things they have on their menu.

Ube everything is finally coming true...they have ube cheesecake now! Maybe I'll be addicted to cheesecake again. This food booth has been appearing in Eat the Street and special events on the island. For $3 you get a cupcake size ube cheesecake. Not only is it delicious, it's cute too. It wasn't too sweet and you get to see it's pretty purple color. The texture was smooth and soft. Amazing! I prefer to eat it frozen. Much more yummy!!! $3 is expensive for a small size, but it's worth a try. My bf bought a dozen for $28. Less than $3 a piece. So if you want to share with others then buy more because it's cheaper. I sample their ube cookie, it was alright but I rather have the cheesecake. Now go ube hunting!!! read more

New rating. Check out their delicious ubae crinkle cookies. Soft and chewy and sinfully delicious. A must try! Also their chocolate haupia tarts are to die for. We had them frozen and it taste so much better than in the refrigerator. It was almost like having an ice cream cookie treat all in one. Check out Ubae and enjoy a five star experience!!! read more

I've been given crinkle cookies from this place a few times and always thought it was just okay. Finally was able to come here on my own and also grabbed cheesecake bites and the soft serve. Both were delicious! I don't care too much for ube personally but I do love pandan. I also like that the business isn't in a too crowded area so parking was very simple. Definitely would come back next time I'm here! read more

YUMMMMMMM! OMG! You have to try the Ube and Buko Pandan soft serve icee it's so rich and delicious. The Ube cheesecake is heavenly! My kids loved the Ube crinkles... I ate it with coffee the next day and I wanted to go back to buy more! read more

Oh my goodness! I absolutely love Ubae's desserts - truly one of a kind and absolutely delicious! This place is located across from Young's Fish Market in Kalihi so parking is tight. Their big, purple logo on the storefront is all you need to find this place. Their food is delicious. When I went I got 2x Ubae Tarts (1x has 8 pieces), 6x Ubae Mini Cheesecakes, and 1x Ubae Cookies (1x has 6 pieces). I paid roughly $50 for all this and it was worth it! The cheesecakes and tarts are so soft and their cookies are so dense and sweet. I would seriously recommend these goodies for all ube lovers. Another perk is their rewards program! $10 equals 1 star and 5 stars gets you a discount on your next purchase! Although I didn't get their whole Ubae cheesecake - I would definitely get it for my next special occasion and share their delicious desserts with first time family and friends. read more

If you love Ube, you're probably at the right place. I mean ube EVERYTHING. The pandan swirl soft serve is AWESOME. Not super sweet, but very balanced flavors with that awesome consistency we all love in soft serve. The bright colors make it great for pictures and instagram hehe. I was told to eat the soft serve with the cookies and needless to say, I was not steered wrong. Make sure the cookies are warm and the pairing is delightful. The contrast of hot and cold with the different textures make your taste buds go nuts. The cookies on their own are pretty solid too. I've been snacking on these during work. Be careful, they're a bit crumbly so it can get a little messy. We also ordered the cheesecake and the mini cheesecake bites. The bites are better if you like a lot of crust, if not, just get the cheesecake by itself. Cheesecake is pretty rich, but not too sweet. Overall, I would def come back and bring friends and family here! read more

UBAE - Ube cookies and pandan/ube softserve swirl - Desserts Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Everything is made here with real Ube, not just flavoring. When I take a bite in the crinkle, I feel pieces of the purple yam flavors. The price is super reasonable for the quality you receive. Don't forget to check in to get 10 percent off! read more

I had seen this place on Instagram and wanted to try it out since I was in the area. I love ube flavor and was so curious about the ube soft serve and crinkle cookies. Came here on a Monday afternoon with nobody inside. Tried the ube and pandan soft serve first, and it had good ube and pandan flavor. However when I tried the ube cheesecake and crinkle cookies, it tasted nothing like ube. I was very disappointed because with a name like "ubae", you'd think you'd be hit with ube flavor! But no, what a disappointment. read more

The soft serve was amazing. Don't think about it. Just go here. Customer service is quick. The place is clean. Parking is OK. Other good eats right next door also. read more

Is UBAE worth it? Stick around to find out! Ube as a main ingredient and flavor for baked goods and other sweet treats blew up a couple of years ago. Nowadays you can find ube anything. Cheesecake, ice cream, cookies, brownies, mash, etc. you name it! I've tried some of the tarts from UBAE before and of course they were delicious. They still are. Keep in mind that these things aren't cheap -- any amount of anything here is bound to cost more than you might think. But after doing some research, apparently the stuff at Uber Factory is just as expensive (if not more expensive). I was excited to try the ube cookies since I had had some ube-flavored cookies last Christmas I believe and just could not get enough. These though? These were not as moist as I thought they'd be and they were sort of "bready" (I don't know how else to describe it). Very strange texture indeed. Still, I was pretty disappointed. Now onto the customer service. It was obvious that the place is staffed by a bunch of young kids who just want to go on their phone all day. I get it! I'm a college kid, too. The customer service wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. Plus, I think it was a little better for me since I'm young. I can totally see some older folks/parties walking in here and having to ask a lot of questions while getting eye-rolls and snarky, short responses. I'm not saying that that happened to me! I'm just saying that if it did happen here, I wouldn't be surprised. Overall, the ube tarts are simply delicious. There's no doubt about that. But in my opinion, I just don't think it's worth it in terms of quantity and price. Would I come here every week for those sweet, scrumptious, smooth, perfectly-sour, to-die-for tarts even if I lived nearby? Nah. It's more of a twice-a-year type of thing for me. read more

We came here half an hour before closing and they ran out of the ube tart and ube crinkle cookies.:( But they did have the ube cheesecake left so we were able to try that! The ube flavor wasn't overpowering, it had just the right amount and was super tasty! The shop is small and does not offer seating inside. You order at the counter and you can take a picture by the pretty sign before you head out! I hope to come back earlier another time to be able to try the other ube items! read more

If you like Ube/Taro, then this is the place for you. Decent dessert place that specializes in Ube/Taro desserts. I am not a dessert fan but they make decent desserts that may satisfy your sweet tooth cravings. 1). Food. Limited options if you are looking for other pastries or sweets. This is the only drawback from this place. No sampler option which could showcase the other products. Instead, you are forced to try what look good instead of trying multiple items. - Tried the Ube/Taro cheesecake. Not bad but felt forced. It seemed like Ube/Taro pudding placed on graham crust and called it a cheesecake. - Crinkle cookies. Not too sweet. This is a good order. 2). Customer Service. Fast and efficient. Friendly. No issues. 3). Atmosphere. Small place. Not space for tables or for hanging out. I think management maybe missing out on this opportunity. 4). Others. Plenty of parking. Seems like a local favorite. Not bad though but not the best either. Limited and lack of options make it just an average location. Plenty of potential though and room to grow with the right management vision. read more

Got the ube/pandan mix soft serve ($8), texture was similar to samurai's and it was really good. This place is pricey, but all their desserts are delicious. Store is cute and clean. read more

I've stopped by Ubae a few times to get their mini tarts. I'm not the hugest fan of sweet potato tarts, but I buy them because I know other people really like them, so I end up taking them to potlucks or getting them for friends. It's a small shop and very sterile feeling, which I guess is a good thing considering that I'm eating what is being produced here. What I mean is that there is just a counter in the newly renovated space and the lights are very fluorescent. I guess looks can be deceiving too though. The parking is pretty good. There's a big lot shared by a bunch of other establishments and if you can't find a stall, the turn over is pretty quick. It's a bit expensive. I was surprised at my bill after buying a couple bento sized boxes of tarts. But they're definitely a crowd pleaser and make for a nice Instagram pic! Haha! read more

For those who may be unfamiliar with ube, the best way I can describe its general flavor is mildly sweet, nutty, and creamy. That being said, UBAE does a great job incorporating the flavor in their items. My personal favorites are the cookies, mini tarts (always a best seller at family parties), and the soft serve! Cookies aren't too sweet and embody the ube flavor well. Tarts are creamy and the crust is soft and delicious. Soft serve also isn't too sweet. Depending on who fills the cup, I'd be mindful to make sure they fill the cup all the way, as I've had an instance where they only filled the rim, leaving the center hallow. Wasn't a huge fan of the cheesecake cup as it left a strange butter-like film in the top of my mouth. Although, this might be because I had the cold soft serve before trying this. read more

UBAE - Ube soft serve and tarts - Desserts Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Just like the name, this place is known for their Ube or purple yam flavored items such as their soft serve, cheesecake, mini tarts, and cake rolls. Right now they have Pandan in their soft serve machine so you're able to get a swirl of both flavors if you can't choose like me. Pandan flavor comes from the Pandan leaves which can be described as grassy with hints of rose, almond, and vanilla. They are very popular flavors in Filipino cuisine. Plenty of parking in the lot. There are lots of other dessert options in this little shopping block for you to try as well! read more

UBAE - Ube and Pandan Swirl Soft Serve - Desserts Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Ube-flavored anything is almost *always* good but somehow this place takes its ube treats another level higher!!! We came on a Monday afternoon (around 3pm), fairly close to closing, and we were only able to get the soft serve and cheesecake tarts. I am shedding a tear for missing the crinkles, but I am 100% sure it is amaZing and I cant wait to go back for it next time im in Hawaii. The soft serve comes in a really big portion (perfect to share but also very perfect for just yourself), it is sweet but not too sweet. The cheesecake tarts come in little cup sizes, they are SO CUTE, and each bite you take from them will leave you wanting more. The cheese is just the right amount of soft and smooth, and the ube flavor is *chef's kiss* SO GOOD. I think what makes the ube of this place so much better is because the flavor feels whole, the same kind of wholeness you get from magnolia ube ice cream. They also have a really nice back drop :) never hurts to have that read more

UBAE - Ube soft serve - Desserts Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Ok, so I lived in the Philippines for 5 years. I know ube. The ube flavor is not distinct in their products. It's very faint in my opinion. This doesn't mean what they make isn't good, because it is! I tried their ube cheesecake tarts and the ube cheesecake. The difference is that the tarts are made out of shortbread and the cheesecake uses graham crackers. Both were good and had the right amount of sweetness I just didn't feel the ube flavor really made an appearance. They do serve soft serve ube ice cream now $5 per serving. Out of the products I tried this is the one that has the most distinct ube flavor. I didn't get a whole serving though. If you have a car it's easy to drive here. I think if you are visiting Oahu and into Ube definitely try to stop by. Beside UBAE they also have a bakery with some goodies that are worth trying. Parking: lots of parking here! And free :) read more

Ube soft serve, ube cheesecakes, ube tarts, ube crinkle cookies, ube cakes, ube flan, ube mamon, UBE, UBE, UBE! This place has every ube dessert you can imagine. We ordered the ube and pandan soft serve, swirled to perfection; this was undoubtedly the best ube soft serve we've had to date...buttery and delicious. It's a bit of a drive to get here (if you're visiting Honolulu and staying near Waikiki), so make a day out of it and check out the famous Kamehameha Bakery next door and Double Three (two doors down) during your visit! read more

The cookies are awesome, but their swirl soft serve ube x pandan is FIRE . I like the fact that it's dairy free too without compromising any of the creaminess that you would expect from ice cream. Inside the store they have a neon purple sign that is a great photo op with a cute apparel section in the corner. However, make sure you check the sizing bc most of the S sizes are sold out:( read more

UBAE - Ube x pandan swirl - Desserts Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

If you're an Ube fanatic this might be the place for you. It's located in Kalihi in city square near Thang's and Sugoi's. There's lots of free parking in front of the store as well as a large lot within walking distance. We decided to hit this spot up when we had out of town guests visiting. It's a cute hipster shop that even has a little wall if you wanna snap your IG worthy UBAE goods before you leave the shop:). They carry 3 diff items which are the ube crinkle cookies, cheesecake, and the ube tarts. The cheesecake was around $4 for a mini and the tarts either come in a 6 or 8 pack. We got a pack of tarts, a cookie, and a cheesecake. I didn't try the cookie but my SIL didn't say it was very memorable. The cheesecake and tarts are basically the same thing, but the cheesecake is just a little softer in consistency. The tarts are good with a creamy filling and a soft crust. I'd like to say they're good, but definitely not something I really crave for..but maybe bc I'm not a huge ube fan. Either way, give it a try and you might like it:). read more

Great add glad we were able to stop by this cute little pit stop before circling the island for the day. It's a smaller bakery, but the shopping center has plenty of parking and it does get busy during the afternoon time. It's a bit closer to the airport, and in a commercial type area but worth the quick drive. For the day we picked up a few different bites and UBE goodies. If it's hot that day you probably want to keep them cool, we lucked out to get extra and keep them in our hotel fridge. Everything was fresh and reasonably priced. My favorite was the UBE mini cheesecake thing I inhaled it. So good! read more

Delicious! Can't wait to return to Honolulu and get more ube goodies from this delicious place!

Ubae be babyyy. UBE! I love ube. Heard this place has been around for sometime so decided to pay it a visit since I was in the area. The indoor decor is very clean. They've got a free street fighter arcade game you can play as well as clothing repoing the desserts for sale . Once we walked we were greeted right away and asked if we'd been there before. It was our first time and the workers was really nice and patient with us. She answered all our questions . Awesome. We decided to try the Ube Cookie, Tarts, and even the Cheesecake. All I can say is... YUM. Cookie is fluffy yet firm and the tart is perfect. The tart is firm yet cookie doughy on the inside while the ube feeling reminded us almost like custard. What a great place. If only I lived closer to Kalihi I'd probably buy Ube tarts and cookies once a week! read more

Nothing but good things to say about this place. The Ube cookies are always fresh. It seems like everyone in my family has their favorite treats-from the cookies, to the mochi, or the soft serve. If you're stopping in for the first time, it's best to just try one of everything! read more

UBAE - Ube + pandan swirl Soft Serve - Desserts Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The best ube sweets I've ever had. We got the cheesecake tarts (comes in 4 or 8) and a box of ube crinkle cookies. I really really regret not getting more cookies to take home. They would be a great gift for anyone. These cookies are soft, chewy with a nice crackly top. The ube flavor is just perfect, not too overwhelming or too sweet. I'm looking forward to my next trip here, will definitely get a bigger order of the cheesecake tarts as my husband and I were fighting over the last ones. The filing is creamy and perfect ube flavor and bright purple. The crust is perfect shortbread and the smaller tart size makes it slightly easier for portion control. Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

We can't speak for the soft serve and cheesecake, since their soft serve machine was broken (apparently it's been broken for a week), and they were out of the cheesecake. So we got their cookies, and unfortunately, they were a bit underwhelming. And we're seriously the BIGGEST fans of ube, so we were extremely excited to try this place out. The ube in their tarts though was pretty creamy and flavorful - just not the biggest fan of their crust. If we come back, we definitely want to try the soft serve and cheesecake. Otherwise, 3 stars for now, sad face. read more

UBAE - Variety of mini cheese cakes. - Desserts Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Dessert is like a feel-good song and the best ones make you dance. On weekends calories don't count...so that's when I do the most dancing. Ubae is known for their Ube. Ube is a purple yam commonly used in desserts. The root vegetable is a deep purple color, and a staple of Filipino cuisine. If you've never tried this purple yam you should. It has a unique taste, nothing that's easily described. When I was visiting Hawaii I was ecstatic to find a whole bakery dedicated just to Ube. I tried the Ube crinkle cookies and the cheesecake tarts. I actually didn't get to try their large Ube cheesecake until I got to another location but when I did I was in HEAVEN! Oh my gosh so delicious. The Ube cheesecake with the grand cracker crust at the bottom was so good. Don't forget to get the Ube crinkle cookies, they we're so yummy! Even though this place is small it's easy to get your order in. When we arrived there was a line out the door but we snuck in when the line was gone. Remember life is short, Eat dessert first! read more
