Light, rich, tangy, slightly sweet, and incredibly balanced all at once. I also had the potato salad bun and it was super yummy. It had a little kick to it (baby spice status) the bun reminded me of Thanksgiving in the best way -- cozy, savory, and nostalgic while still feeling unique. The employees were incredibly kind and patient while helping me decide between the coconut and POG cake, which made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. This is the perfect place to meet a friend for a high-end experience without breaking the bank. I came on a Saturday around 3:45 p.m. and it felt relaxed but still lively. It's a great little afternoon treat spot in Honolulu. You can really feel the care they put into both the desserts and the overall experience. Definitely a standout stop while visiting Waikīkī.

Stopped by Wing's Ice Cream Parlor for a quick sweet treat to cool off on a hot day. They offer…read moresome crazy unique ice cream flavors! As you can see in one of my photos on this review, they offered a flavor called "Cheezus" which was a cheese ice cream with real cheese-its in it haha! I thought it was pretty unique. Their ice cream is made in house so theyre able to get some pretty great flavors on their menu. The shop is small, but the staff is always helpful. Theyll allow you to sample some flavors if youre unsure of its crazy name! The triple scoop sampler comes on a perfect little serving plate. Easy for sharing. Since this ice cream shop is located in chinatown, parking isn't the greatest at times. There is no designated parking for this ice cream shop but you can hopefully find nearby street parking or go to a nearby parking garage. It's easiest if youre just on foot. All in all, definitely an ice cream parlor worth trying out!

Many different flavors of ice cream. You can have it in a cup or your choice of cone. There's limited seating in the shop. Open in the evenings. Perfect for dessert after dinner in Chinatown. Saw a lot of couples. Perhaps date night- dinner, then get ice cream. The texture of the ice cream is good. I know I will be back.

Delicious egg tarts!…read more Egg tart has always been my favorite and when I saw these egg tart with slight burned top and flaky bottom, I had to try them. And they were so good. A bit into them gives the sensation of a creamy soft and sweet but not too sweet gooey center, and the flaky bottom cup makes a satisfying crunch with flakes spreading everywhere, if you are not careful. When I arrive at the shop at 9:30am, there were only 4 egg tarts left. so I ask to have all of them, and for the rest of the pastries, I ordered one of each, and they are all so soft and sweet, eating them by dipping the bread in milk was sensational. It took me a while to find this shop. To ease your search, this shop is located on HOTEL STREET, directly across the street from the Maunakea Marketplace Entrance/Exit. It is new, nice and clean inside. The owner said her first batch of pastries comes out at 7:30am. Super nice and friendly workers here. A few tables to sit and eat inside. I will be coming back for more.

The egg tart's flaky, buttery crust cradled silky, eggy custard that was sweet and flavorful--slightly caramelized top added the perfect crunch, far better than average bakery tarts around Honolulu Fresh bakes, affordable prices, and a chill spot to sit--must-try for local dessert hunters.

We came on a holiday morning, and there wasn't anyone inside. The cafe is cute and vibey! Love how pet-friendly it is with the polaroids--I'd definitely bring my pup here. There's also a decent amount of seating to hang out or work at. Service was fine. I ordered at the register, and she made my drink immediately. I was intrigued by their Haupia Matcha Latte. I love all things Haupia, so it seemed like the perfect match. I got the Haupia Matcha Latte with Oat Milk, and it was superb. I loved how creamy it was, how the sweetness of the haupia shone, but the earthiness of the matcha was still there. I'd definitely recommend this drink and am curious about their others. Hello Again is a nice cafe addition to Chinatown. With all the cafes in the area, it's worth a visit if you're a matcha lover like me. Find the cafe off Nuuanu Ave., unassuming on the outside but nicely sized once you go in! Parking is limited to the street or nearby municipal parking.

I visited Benjamin's Sweet to buy Tanghulu as a gift for a friend with a sweet tooth, but…read moreunfortunately, it was already sold out by 3 PM. While looking into the display case, I noticed gold and silver-colored sweets, which turned out to be freshly made Dubai chocolates prepared in-store. The owner kindly explained the production process and ingredients, even offering samples to demonstrate. He mentioned that the pistachio paste is a high-end product imported directly from France. Although the sample was small, it was very sweet with a rich, intense flavor. Listening to him was fascinating, and I could sense his strong confidence and dedication to his business. He also came across as very sincere. That said, Tanghulu is an extremely sticky and sugary candy, so those with sensitive teeth should be cautious. The shop also has a soft-serve machine and dine-in space, making it a great spot for dessert lovers. Once my dental implant treatment is complete, I'd like to carefully try their candy and chocolate myself. 甘いもの好きの友人への手土産にTanghuluを買いにBenjamin's Sweetへ行きましたが、午後3時の時点で売り切れでした。 代わりにショーケースを覗くと、ゴールドやシルバーに輝くスイーツが並んでおり、店内で作られているフレッシュなDubaiチョコレートとのことでした。 オーナーと思われる男性が、製造工程や材料についてサンプルと共に丁寧に説明してくれました。ピスタチオペーストはフランスから直輸入した高級品だそうです。試食は少量でしたが、とても甘く、素材の風味が濃厚でした。 彼の話を聞いて、このビジネスに対する強い自信とこだわりが伝わり、誠実な印象を受けました。 なお、Tanghuluは歯にくっつくほど甘いキャンディなので、歯に不安のある方は注意が必要です。 店内にはソフトクリームマシンがあり、イートインスペースもあるため、甘いものが好きな方には楽しめるお店だと思います。 私もインプラント治療が終わったら、キャンディやチョコレートに挑戦してみたいです。

I actually came to Fishcake for a different Matcha popup that was supposed to be there, but instead…read morestumbled upon Kynd Tea. Let me tell you, this Matcha place is EXCEPTIONAL. I got the strawberry matcha and the Guava Paradise. Let met tell you, they were both SOOO GOOD. First off, you can tell the owner really takes his time to create the most perfect matcha. It's both creamy and earthy at the same time and the strawberry puree is just the right amount of sweetness (none of that artificial strawberry puree here!) The guava paradise though was definitely the show stopper. Dairy Free yogurt topping with oolong? SAY LESS. It was so floral and aromatic that when you brought the cup to your lips you could literally smell the floral flavors. It was absolutely divine. Just the right amount of creaminess, with the fruity flavors from the guava and the finish with the tea. Absolute perfection. 11/10 would recommend this tea place to absolutely anyone! Catch them at Fishcake for now. You won't regret it! Hot take, its better and has more matcha flavor than some other more established matcha places on island.

It's not overpoweringly salty. I found the balance of the match and Earl Grey to be good. My partner got a cold brew with simple syrup and the sea salt cream, and enjoyed it. I got to try some and found that the cold brew was a good level of sweetness without being cloying. I thought both our drinks were very nicely presented and reasonably priced at $16.75 for the two drinks. Service was friendly and prompt. I would certainly order from Kynd Tea again.

Personally, I thought it was a steal. For three people, four courses, it came out to $159 without tip. I highly recommend tipping. With only one person serving everyone and cashing everyone out, she did amazing. I had the cream of corn as my first course. It was absolutely delicious with a nice touch of heat. My second course was the baked oysters. I would honestly rate this the lowest of all four courses I had, around a 6. Very fresh. My third course, the entree, was the Seafood Brioche. The sauce was delicious! A very nice variety of seafood. I found myself surprisingly full by the time dessert came. I had the Azuki Bean Haupia and ordered the Le Café as an extra. These were so good. The tables and chairs are seated right outside the cafe (still within the building), the desserts situated inside the cafe. It's a very relaxing vibe. I would definitely come here again. Tiny pyramid, the setting, the food, I think it brings to mind the words, Casual Elegance.
