I was next door waiting for my lunch when my husband pointed this place out. 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.

It had pretty pink and white decorations on a red velvet cupcakes, arranged in the numbers of 9 and 0! Usually I don't like a lot of frosting but the frosting was not too sweet and it was creamy.

Any age o reached I would be blessed, but the older you get.. you will have more cupcakes to share! lol The cupcake was moist and enjoyed it very much. I'm glad I finally got to try their cake!

I know this is a revered institution, but our visit just wasn't very good. We went for breakfast:…read morethe pancakes were good, but the American Breakfast wasn't, and the potatoes were undercooked with a flavor that was almost too earthy. The pastries were just okay; we tried a few cake slices that were fine but unremarkable. The cinnamon roll was dry and hard, the malasadas were forgettable, and the haupia-filled malasada was surprisingly tart. It's possible some ingredients were locally sourced and just unfamiliar to our mainland palates, or maybe we simply caught them on an off day. The servers were curt but friendly, likely because the place was packed with tourists.

Thank you Hokulani Bake Shop for making my best friend's Gender Reveal & Baby Shower a success!!!…read more I called/emailed 3 or 4 places trying to find someone who could do gender reveal fillings and most of the bakeries I tried could not. Hokulani Bake Shop was prompt in answering my emails and so helpful with letting me know the price breakdown, due dates for order info and payment, available pick up times, and options for cupcake flavors and decorations! I like that they said their cupcakes do not have to be refrigerated (to be eaten within 1 day). The texture of the cupcake was great, and the buttercream frosting and filling was so good because it wasn't too sweet! I had people coming back to eat more cupcakes haha

I had the cupcakes ordered for my wife as she loves their red velvet cupcakes. I even received confirmation email, charge to my card and all. However I went to pick them up and I was told there was no order and somehow they missed it. Now I don't think I can rely on them for cupcake orders anymore. Very very disappointing as I loved this place.

There are two tables of 4 on the side of a crane game, and a couch or two with two seaters by the entrance. The cabinets have board games and books for use. Service was excellent. I foolishly looked at the online menu and thought "I can order this in person" and fumbled when I got there. The staff was patient with me as I struggled to recall the combinations I found online. The hours are good and the drinks were unique and creative. My girlfriend and her coworkers enjoyed the three different drinks I ordered for them. I will be back!

When arriving, there are many cozy chairs inside, with a collection of board games to choose from. I noticed that UberEats type of delivery service were picking up orders consistently throughout our time here. We ordered the Strawberry Panna Cotta, thinking that it was a parfait dessert or served on a plate. Though when the gentleman taking our order asked for the sweetness level, we knew it must've been a drink. And it did not disappoint! I've never had anything like this before. It was the perfect blend of strawberry on top, not too sweet, not too sour and the panna cotta smooths it all out from the bottom up through your straw. The gentleman working there was very friendly, very kind, answered all our questions. One being that they do not serve food/desserts here anymore because of the shelf-life and unpredictability of people ordering these items, I get it. He truly seems to love his job and it shows. Walking each order out to everyone, whether they're waiting inside or outside the shop, he's hustling, not sauntering around. And in between, he's straightening the stuffed animals on the couches, so that they look presentable. It's the little things that count, and I appreciate that. Nevertheless, we will definitely be back to try other flavors!

What a lovely little bakery located across the street from Aloha Tower marketplace, on the corner,…read moreserving gluten-free and dairy free baked items. You would never guess that they are gluten-free and vegan. It's cute you walk in there are pictures and quotes and post-its from all over the place from people who have visited. There are a few tables and chairs outside and inside and the bakery is air-conditioned. When you walk in to the left is their display case which mainly has cookies donuts muffins bread. Then you have the ordering window, which has some of the hot items like the pizza roll. Everything that I've had has been 10 out of 10 as far as gluten-free baked items go it is great texture. Good quality made fresh. I noticed that the cookies are crunchy on the outside. Chewy on the inside, the muffins are delightful, sweet and light. The bread is quite heavy in terms of weight but as you eat it, it taste light so it is very nice and filling and has a subtle mochi or tapioca starch texture, which I love, especially if you're going to toast The bagel or the bread. This is an absolute jam when it comes to accommodating those with dietary restrictions, but even if you are not eating a restrictive diet, the baked items are really delicious too. You can order a gluten-free cake as well. Given at least five days notice ordering ahead. They don't have a designated convenient, free parking stall, but there is a paid parking open air lot across the street and also a covered underground parking structure right next-door and there's ample Street parking nearby .

It was so almond flavored and was not dry. I craved another one so I went back a few months later when I was in the area. I bought one (since they are very expensive) and excitedly took it home to try. Unfortunately it was not like I remembered: it was dry and not very almond-y. Maybe they just had an off day. Parking is also tough you have to go to the lot and pay. Hopefully if I go again I will try something else that is good. The butter mochi, sandwiches and bread pudding looked good but also very expensive. Pass.

I'm not one to make or bake any snacks so places like CeCe Patisserie is the place for me as they're located in Pearl Kai which is right across from Pearlridge Center and with lots of free parking the convenience is very easy and you can find them right behind Jiffy Lube. Walking in the vibe is so festive and bright with a staff who I believe is a family friend was such a delight describing just about everything in the shop and not missing a beat it was so difficult to decide and I needed quite a bit of snacks...6 to be exact and not refrigerated so it did illuminate a few which made the choices much easier for me. After much browsing it was the tub of Chex Mix as it came in Hurricane, Ranch, Tajin or Everything Bagel seasoning. Love the various flavors and I got three of Hurricane and Everything Bagel and with multiple purchase there was a little discount that's really appreciated :) There was quite a bit of baked goods many are a bit more sensitive and wished they had more of the snacks as they do make great gifts as well but there are cupcakes, banana bread, brownies and cheesecake...so many options is incredible. It seems like they have a food truck as well making this little shop a busy spot in so many ways. Thank you!
