Chocolate, passion, strawberry guava, birthday cake
Al D.

Cute place. Worker was nice. The cupcakes were dry. Also a bit pricey for what you get. Maybe I just went on an off day.

Happy Birthday to the Birthday Girl :)
Jolene L.

Such a cute bakery in Kaimuki! Their website is user friendly. We ordered this while we were in another state. Very easy to confirm the date and time of pickup. They even text you a receipt as proof of purchase for the day that you pick it up. Since the eyes eats first :) This Chocolate cake is oh so pretty! It has some height to it and they show you the name plate (correct spelling) before they carefully place it into a special box with a window. The chocolate frosting is smooth all around. They delicately placed yummy chocolate candies along the top, strategically placed sprinkles along the bottom edge, and then hand crafted the special Happy Birthday name plate in gold. Now for the taste.... I would have to agree with the other reviews that said the cake was a bit dry or crumbly. It has the texture of something vegan without egg, fat, nor butter. I was trying to figure out if it was the type of flour they used. Perhaps it's just their style of cake? Like I mentioned earlier, the frosting is smooth. Maybe that's where all the butter or fat content is? I would have liked the cake layers to be a little more moist, but...when eaten together with the frosting it balanced out. Great service, cute treats, I'd come back to try other items...

There are many options when looking to buy a cake but We Heart Cake Company proved to be a solid one! While parking is on the street and can be rough, the shop is very cute and tiny. It is visible on Waialae Ave with a good amount of pink inside and on the sign outside. It was easy to order the cake online and the pick up was quick. The cake looked exactly as it did on the website, which was nice! It was a beautiful cake made of little cupcakes, which were enjoyed as a gift.

Funfetti cupcakes
Porsche S.

We Heart Cake Company is located in kaimuki on Waialae Avenue. There is only street parking along the front of the store. I had ordered cupcakes for my boss' birthday online. When going to pick it up, I realized I got the date wrong. The owner was so nice and allowed me to pick up 6 cupcakes. I was very appreciative that she was so accommodating. Prices are high, but that's how all bakeries are now days. The cupcake itself was moist and the frosting was not super sweet. I will definitely come back for all my cake needs.

Three pieces of "Daifuku mochi with an". Didn't see a price. Hungry husband treating tonight so hurry & get it ! So excited to try dis!
Kimi S.

Hungry Husband and I made a late night snack run to 7-11. I looked in the donut case to find a 3 piece "Daifuku with An" container, didn't expect that to be in there but was pleasantly surprised ( cuz I wuz craving some kinda mochi thing!) Hungry Husband commented that I slid over to the desserts before I got my coffee ! He he ! I quickly grabbed the container,looked at the other choices of; butter mochi, chi chi dango and one more mochi dessert but my mind was made up! Got my chai coffee and was a happy mochi-mama! We're home now and I ripped open the container which was tightly sealed. (they must pay a lot for packaging!) I've never seen this brand/ company before & figured it was a specialty cake shop! So excited! I bake/cook a lot with mochiko so, I'm a real mochi monster!!! Picked up a piece & sunk my teeth into it...you ready for my thoughts? Firm white outside(daifuku) mochi with smooth an or koshi red bean paste.Would I dare say "al dente"? Initially, I didn't like it. Then I thought wait...it's not too sweet,just right because what if a mochi monster was to gobble down the whole container? Then, I thought it was too firm! But hold it right there... the other mochi brands are sometimes too soft and mushy-mushy .(my grampa used to say dat) Okay den, it's different I say to myself ! Take another bite...well,okole maluna !!! (down da hatch) I really appreciated the toothsome chew! It gave the mochi some personality!!! I'm glad some other company is doing mochi products not just the old school companies! Good job! I'll be having MORE late night coffee/snack/dessert runs in the future & am willing to try other mochi desserts from "We cake "!!! Maybe we'll visit your bakery someday!!!

2023 valentines

I stopped by to purchase a cake for a coworker. The cashier was helpful in preparing the cake in a box with the topper. I have been in a couple of times and didn't realize they had cards too so I grabbed a birthday card. I didn't need candles this time but they had some cute ones. Make sure to put your number in if you are a frequent visitor as you get free items the more points you earn.

Signature love letter cake

One of my favorite bakeries on island! Their flavors are so good and their presentation is soo cute! Their service is amazing as well, I had forgotten to place my order in advance and gave them a call to see what items they had available to purchase in store if I stopped by the next day and they were so kind enough to accommodate the exact order I wanted!! I will always recommend this place to others!

Dry red velvet cupcake
Samantha B.

Looking for a bakery for an upcoming event. Stopped in to test out the product to get an idea of how the cakes would be. We got 4 cupcakes. The flavor was great, the frosting was light and not over sweet, the (cup) cakes were unbelievably dry. Overall we were very disappointed and concerned that maybe the cupcakes were just old but realized after cutting into all four that they were all the same. The associate informed us that they do not deliver cakes and that you would have to pick up either same day or day before. It left us concerned that any potential cake ordered form this location would be flavorful but overly dry.

Special order cake
Leslene C.

This year she came out with some amazing new creations, was so impressed had to order and continue to purchase her ginger bread & Meringue cookies. Also, did the holiday jewel box, was so kawaii.... Service is always on point and 200% amazing the owner usually comes out to say "hi", staff is always friendly and nice, Selection is just kawaii during the holidays I want to buy everything, but hold myself back...this year I did go overboard got a couple jewel boxes for friends to let them try the awesome japanese frosting on the cupcakes, meringue and ginger bread cookies and her new creation pretzel with meringue was just too cute as a favor. The meringue shortbread cookie are so good, I love them more than the regular meringue cookies or honu. I keep returning to this bakery, that's how much I love her bakery. If you haven't gone yet, give it a try and keep watch for valentines specials. Yelp won't let me add any more pictures so sorry you can't see the Kawaii things this Christmas

Yuki Mitch Y.

Great service and they made a custom cake for my daughter who loves seals! Parking is hard to find but once you know, you know.

Seasonal offering
Ric C.

Short attention span review- Gifted a six piece cupcake box for the holidays. Impressive packaging Delicious chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with exquisitely decorated frosting. Not too sweet, perfect with a hot beverage, not over rich, just right. The visual beauty of the presentation was a preview of the delicious delights to follow. They have parking! They have parking! In the rear, enter driveway before the bakery. Will go back to try their flavored cupcakes- was impressed with the taste of the basic chocolate and vanilla ones.

Cyndee C.

This gem of a bakery is tucked into the middle of a block on Waialae Ave. There are a couple dedicated parking stalls but you have to know where to find them. It's worth the trouble because this shop is so cute. The decorated cookies are adorbs! Check out the Honi Honi cookie which is meringue in a vanilla cookie. So pretty and bite sized! Today, I picked up two cupcakes. They were too perfectly attractive to resist ($4.75). The Cookies & Dream had an oreo on the top as well as on the bottom. That was a nice surprise. The Espresso For You was packed with mocha flavor. This is a great place to pick up gifts for friends or a showstopping dish for your next party!

Myra G.

Thank you for making my birthday special with your beautiful letter "M" cake. Not only was it beautiful, it was delicious. Everyone loved the frosting and the execution of your decorative style atop mini cupcakes. The cupcakes were moist too! Everyone loved their cookie favors. I'm so glad I decided to use your cookies for favors. Absolutely fabulous! My only regrets is I don't get an extra cookie for myself! LOL. I guess that means I have to stop by for a visit! Yay!

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.

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!

These donuts were SO GOOD! Leonard's was definitely one of my favorite treats while in Honolulu…read more We tried the cinnamon sugar and chocolate glazed donuts, and everything tasted fresh. The donuts were soft and fluffy on the inside and didn't feel heavy or overly greasy. The cinnamon sugar was probably my favorite. It had the perfect amount of sweetness and was simple but so good. The chocolate glazed was delicious too! The chocolate was rich, smooth, and sweet without being too much. They definitely didn't hold back on the chocolate either The service was great as well. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and even though it was busy, everything moved along pretty smoothly. Our order came out fresh, and we didn't feel rushed. The atmosphere is very casual and laid-back. It's not a fancy place, but that's part of what I liked about it. It has that classic local bakery feel with people coming in excited to grab something fresh. It was busy and had a lot of energy, but it added to the experience. I completely understand why Leonard's is so popular. Sometimes places get a lot of hype and don't live up to it, but this place definitely did for me. If you're visiting Honolulu and love fresh donuts, add Leonard's to your list. I would absolutely come back! 10/10!

Once you step in the smell of fresh bread instantly fills the air. Located in the Times Arcade Mall on Beretania, there is plenty of parking in front of the bakery. Whenever I go I always get their Curry Pan, Apple Muffin, Shio Butter roll, and White Bread. Curry Pan: nice crispy exterior, soft bread interior and good Japanese curry filling Muffins: light flavoring and airy, not dense Shio Butter Roll: good balance of salt and butter. It may look plain but it packs a lot of flavor. White Bread: soft, buttery and they can slice the bread to your desired thickness

It's pretty nostalgic when you are able to take your baby to one of your favorite bakeries growing…read moreup I remember growing up and coming here with my mom to pick up an assortment of things. She would sometimes have ham rolls and raisin breadsticks waiting for us afterschool. My coworker said they have the best croissants on island. They are indeed very similar to those I've had in Paris. My favorites from Epi-Ya? The custard pudding! While plentiful in Tokyo, not very many establishments will make or sell custard pudding. Because of this, I would get one almost everyday when visiting Japan The bread is baked fresh daily and everything is much lower in price (compared to other bakeries) It's always busy, so that just goes to show that the community also enjoys this beloved patisserie. Thanks for reading my reviews! Let me know what I should try next!

So far I've only tried the breakfast items here a few times. The breakfast sandwich is different…read morebut good. I think the meat changes but it's usually some slice of meat rather than a sausage or bacon and there's also cooked greens on there that are a little different. The croissant items I've had have all been really good. Today I tried the quiche and it was very good and had a really tasty croissant crust. The egg and ricotta in there was really creamy and custard like. Mushrooms were good but I wonder if this would be even better with Hamakua mushrooms? It would mesh well with their use of local ingredients. The one negative is that the $3.75 coffee was TINY. Granted if you eat there I think you can refill it but kind of a rip off if you're getting things to go. The meat is all pretty pricy but it's local stuff so that's cool. There's also some unique things that you probably can't find elsewhere. I was excited to see venison pastrami and venison liver mousse. Hoping to try some of that stuff soon!

Since it was their anniversary on Sunday, also got their celebratory funfetti cupcake which also like their baked goods did not disappoint. The croissant base of many of their pastries is flaky. When fresh it crunches with every bite that you take. This time around we had the cinnamon roll, mango danish which had a chocolate mochi filling, and their char siu bun. It's such a neat take to have char siu in a croissant. We are used to having it in the doughy bao bread but in a croissant, savory with a crunchy outside tastes so much better. I love sweet but this one wasn't overly sweet, who would have thought that mango and chocolate pair so well together. It's the summer months, fresh mango on pastries. It was the perfect ripeness. For the cinnamon roll, you honestly cannot forget get their cinnamon roll...It's flaky and again the frosting is not overly sweet. Can't wait to get another box of their pastries again soon.

We LOVED the poi mochi donut, and surprisingly, the cinnamon roll (which I know isn't exactly what you come to Hawaii for) was AMAZING. The cream puff was also really tasty, but the texture of the shell gave the impression that it had been baked hours earlier and filled more recently. It held together well and tasted good, but it wasn't quite the fresh, delicate pastry I was hoping for. The biggest disappointment was the French donut. None of us could really get through it. The topping tasted overwhelmingly of straight cocoa powder, and the cruller-style donut underneath was just not good. Overall, some real hits and some pretty significant misses. I'd happily come back for the poi mochi donut and cinnamon roll, but I wouldn't go out of my way for everything else.
