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.

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!

The frosting is reminiscent of the Red Ribbon mango cake frosting when it used to taste good, back in the days when Red Ribbon used to make their cakes with fresh mangoes instead of the canned or frozen mangoes they use now. I conducted a taste test between the fresh and day-old mango lilikoi cupcake and I didn't notice much of a difference. The fresh cupcake was a little more moist, but I actually preferred the day-old cupcake because I couldn't taste the oil as much. Plus, the day-old cupcake is 50% off. And let me tell you, the fresh cupcakes are not cheap! It was almost $5 per cupcake with tax. The cashier was very friendly. I forgot her name, but she wears blue contact lenses. We talked story for a little bit and she told me that Sugarlina used to be located somewhere else. She also told me that they use local eggs fresh from the egg farm in Wahiawa. Fresh, locally sourced products sure make a difference! I definitely recommend the mango lilikoi cupcake fresh or day-old despite the expensive price tag.

We were curious about…read morethe cupcakes and noticed the good reviews on Yelp so we decided to try some of the cupcakes. Initially, the door was locked, but the owner Tara unlocked the door and asked if I was picking up an order. I said no, we were just looking around and wanted to see what cupcakes they had. Tara was super friendly and even though she was busy filling orders, she took the time to tell me what cupcakes she had available. I was initially going to get 4 cupcakes: 1 lemon, 2 strawberry, and 1 red velvet. However, after looking at her menu online and talking to her, I ended up getting a dozen cupcakes: 4 banana peanut butter cupcakes with honey drizzle, 3 Chocolate cupcake with Oreo frosting topped with an Oreo cookie, 1 chocolate cupcake with a peanut butter frosting, 2 Strawberry cupcake with buttercream frosting and strawberry drizzle, 1 red velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting, and 1 white cupcake with lemon buttercream and lemon sauce drizzle. The cupcakes were super moist and they paired well with the frostings. The frostings were not overly sweet, which I really appreciated, and I could definitely taste the flavoring of the frosting. The peanut butter was my favorite and it paired well with the chocolate cupcake. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other flavors, or will request a specialty cupcake in the near future.

Lol I was surprised to see the name change and only one size being sold now. Guess it's been a while since my last visit. The "Honu Bread" was available in 2 flavors: Original $12 & Ube $14. Of course, I had to grab one of each since I hadn't tried the ube before. I wish I only grabbed the original/buttercream tho because the ube was okay at best. It did have a subtle ube flavor if you really searched for it, but overall, it wasn't my fave. Service was fast and friendly. The bakery only had a few other customers around noon on a Tuesday. I was expecting to see more baked goods sold, but I guess it wouldn't matter since my only purchase is the Honu Bread anyway. As far as the bread - it doesn't taste the same as it used to. It also had quite the oily mouth feel, which is something I don't recall experiencing years before. Bummer... still a decent indulgence tho! Teenager approved. :)

The bigger the malasadas size the more airy and fluffy and more bread layers that will be inside. 2. their malasadas always taste fresh and the same quality each time. 3. their malasadas don't feel oily or heavy at all Overall I would highly recommend this place for their Malasadas! I'm so happy to have found them. I can back multiple times on my trip. They also have other desserts too that I have yet to try. They have ice cream, cakes, and other desserts Also tip: if you are ordering a malasada also order a coffee or a matcha drink to go with it. The cinnamon sugar from the malasada just matches so perfectly with a drink this restaurant is also a nice place for walking! There's lot of stores and restaurants to walk around!
