All the cookies were on the wall to the right when you step in, they have individual big cookies or bags with smaller cookies for sale. The S'mores cookie was by far the star, the chewy marshmallow was a perfect addition to the cookie. I think all the cookies had a good flavor but I typically prefer softer/chewier cookies, so for me these aren't the "perfect cookie" but definitely worth a try. I want to come back soon and try their other desserts, such as their cheesecakes or cinnamon rolls. Parking is free and located all around the shopping center, including the large parking lot in the back. This shopping center is filled with tons of food options, definitely stop by Kaua'i petite sweets for a swear treat after your meal and to save for later!

We tried the chocolate and vanilla pena cotta and they were delicious! It was smooth and thick with great richness! We also picked up a bag of Arare Cookies. I love the extra crispy crunch and texture this cookie has. It's has an almond based flavor with an extra sweet crunch from the rice crackers. The older gentleman behind the counter was patient with me. It was so hard to choose from all the treats. We also tried the blueberry scone and the chocolate chip scone. These were not as sweet or as buttery as you might expect, but I'm sure will pair well with a sweet cup of coffee. Glad we stopped by!

I noticed it…read morewhen I was eating malasadas one morning and saw a small girl carrying around the cutest slice of rainbow cake. I was too full at the moment to order more food, but I returned on my last evening in Oahu to order a slice of rainbow cake for myself. It was somewhat early in the evening -- probably around 6PM or so -- so the Royal Hawaiian Center food court was getting a little busy but there were still empty tables around. The bakery itself had a few people in line so I perused the display case for other desserts. They had quite a few interesting ones: lilikoi basque cheesecake, Diamond Head puff custard, ube cake. Unfortunately, my appetite is much smaller than it once was, but the cakes looked delicious and the people in front of me all ordered their cakes ahead of time, so they are quite in demand! The cashier took my order quickly and I was able to get a slice of rainbow cake, which had fluffy cream and moist layers of colorful cake. The flavor reminded me of fruity pebbles, but without being overly sweet the way children's cereal used to be. I really liked eating it because it didn't make me feel guilty eating a dessert. I hope I can return to Kulu Kulu sometime and try their other desserts a well!

First of all, I got lost coming here for the first time even though location looks very accessible…read more They got plenty of parking and there's more additional parking on the side and back I believe. I like that they got plenty of indoor seating, I 'd have to come back and dine in sometime. My first and only time coming here was to go. They got various selection of donuts and pastries. I ordered 1 dozen of pastries and I was in and out. 3 stars because their pastries didn't have the X-factor, if you know what I mean. It didn't have the magic, too basic and too regular. Also, staff are kind of moving slow, I feel bad for the customers that had to wait longer than expected. Staff are not rude, they just need to be more welcoming and smile more. Mahalo.

They have beautiful displays of fancy desserts and on shelves cookies and Madeleines. I picked a few fruity desserts to try macarons, lemon tart, mango pudding, tropical fromage. I wanted to get their fruit tart but the fruit on top looked dry and not as pretty and glossy. My favorite was the tropical fromage which was light and airy with a really nice fruit flavor. The mango panna cotta was my second favorite which included the mango bits on top - a nice touch - and the cream nice and rich. Lemon tart had an odd taste to it. Should have went with the mush peach tart that didn't look as appetizing but probably better. The macarons were my least favorite especially the yuzu and passion fruit flavors that didn't taste anything like those fruits. For $2.50 I wish they were better and not as dry. I am glad I tried them but the prices were a bit much for me.

It's been 3 years since my last review and visit here that I thought I'd update…read more The pastries here are just as good as when they first opened. I thought i'd just buy one or two pastries but i bought six. Yes all six just for me! For lunch i got a jalapeño cream cheese pastry and a cheese hot dog. Both were great, the jalapeño cream cheese pastry has jalapeños inside that are quite hot but blends w the cream cheese really well. I enjoyed it. I also got a hokkaido custard pastry which was nice, light and fluffy and not too sweet which I liked. I also enjoyed an ube pastry with an ube filling on the inside. I thought the chocolate chip bowl was interesting, powdered sugar fills the middle of the pastry so it looks like a bowl, this pastry was a little more dense and not as light. Lastly i got the cream cheese pastry with the round blobs of creme cheese on the top, a bit sweet with the sugar crystals but so good, Make sure to check the app, i had a buy one pastry and get one 50% off coupon. I love freshly baked pastries and loved my visit here.

I've decided to update my review on Elvin's when I was caught in a bind and they came through…read more However, it wasn't all cherries. You see, last Christmas I gave you my heart and the very next day, you gave it away. This year, to save me from tears........no, no. This never happened to me but Wham's "Last Christmas" which was written by George Michael, is overly played during the holidays in Japan. On a serious note, last Christmas I was jonesing for a yule log. I saw posts on IG and when I attempted to order one at a bakery on S King St, I was advised it was too late. At a Japanese themed bakery I was offered the option of a Christmas cake but wasn't in a mood for strawberry shortcake. I was on a mission. I recall attending a Christmas dinner at my cousin's a few years back where someone brought Yule logs and found that they were from Elvin's Bakery (EB). I also did a search on EB's photo gallery and saw one posted so I gave them a call. Placing an order via telephone was literally a piece of cake. It was confirmed to a tee and was also advised their closing on Christmas Day so pick up would be on Christmas Eve. I made payment over the phone. All done. The Yule log was a hit at Christmas dinner where it was visually stunning and tasty. It was not overly sweet nor dry. Well executed and decorated beautifully. So why not 5-stars? Picking it up was a shocker when the Yule log was placed in a cake box that clearly was meant for a 1/2 sheet cake (?) size so you had to be extra careful when transporting and storing. There was no support nor fillers in the box for the quite empty box as the Yule log was not meant for the box provided. In closing, I'm grateful EB came through with an amazing dessert for our holiday dinner but was caught off guard with their boxing. I'll need to think twice about ordering a Yule log again from them and will definitely order earlier and seek the options on Oahu before deciding on where to go.
