Now that's a cream puff!!! So much cream! The flavors are just perfect not too sweet but also not too bland! So delicious! I'm craving more just thinking about it! That Japanese cheesecake was just so moist and so good. Perfectly baked. It's at the embassy suites inside the restaurant in the front. Parking on the side. Well that's where we parked. I can't wait to go back!
To this day, I am still daydreaming about the pastries here. The roll cake is the best I've ever had on Oahu. It was light, airy and the cream inside was perfectly the right amount of sweet and tart. Even my mother was a big fan and couldn't get enough of the roll cake! The cheesecake was creamy and tasted great as well! Friendly staff too, I highly recommend this bakery!
Ayla's located on Manawai St, well known for their Japanese pastries. Staff and management are very friendly and knowledgeable about their products. Large showcases stocked full of delectable delights. My personal favorites are their Cream Puffs. They had something new on our last visit, Cupcakes! There were Strawberry, Blueberries, Chocolate Cookie, and one that resembled S'mores. All were delicious but the Blueberries cupcakes stood out as did the Lilikoi cheesecake. A definite favorite when we're craving pastries.
Cream puffs, fluffy cheesecakes, and rolls? Yes please. Carbs and sugar are the way to go. My friend and I wanted to check this place out since it's been a lot of attention on social media. We came here on Friday afternoon and unfortunately majority of their items were sold out however they still had their cream puffs. We ordered their matcha, cream, and strawberry cream puffs. We also ordered a mocha roll as well. Size of the pastries are quite big and can be shared to sample. We enjoyed the mocha roll as it had chocolate ganache and a delicious balance with the mocha cream. The cream puffs are okay. Our favorite was the strawberry as the cream reminded up of the Japanese strawberry candy. The puff part was a kind of soggy and dry so good thing there's the cream to help. I previously went back to try their cheesecake. It was just alright. I think I prefer the mocha roll over anything else as that was consistent as the first time. Overall would come back for the mocha cream roll if in the area. There's just something about that cream and chocolate. I do appreciate they warn you about nuts being used in case you're allergic.
Picked up some cream puffs and cheesecake this morning. There was a line before they opened at 11:00 am. It looked like most were there to pick up their Mother's Day cake orders (which looked amazing and came in cut cake boxes tied with black ribbon - so elegant.) We ordered one of each flavor: chocolate, vanilla, matcha, and coffee. Each pastry was filled completely with light and airy cream. Lightly sweet and delicious. Each cream puff was $4.50. The shop is right inside the Gyu Masu Restaurant which sits outside the Embassy Suites Hilton in Kapolei.
1/11/23 I have been meaning to try this place out. Located next to the old Teddy's Burger( in Kapolei...now Gina's) . We wanted to try "everything" but of course with New Year's resolutions planted in the back of my mind(waaaay back), my bff and I shared the Japanese cheesecake and the European cream puff with the custard filling. Light and fluffy, this cheesecake is not super sweet. I loved it and that's saying much because I DO NOT LIKE the more denser and heavier types of cheesecakes. It almost felt as if we hadn't eaten much at all and therefore, in our minds, we weren't hardly eating barely any calories ! I had to try the European cream puff as I had fallen in love with a similar type pastry in France and felt I would NEVER EVER find something as decadent as that chocolate eclair in the states. This came so close to that fond memory that I had flashbacks! I also felt the prices were so reasonably priced for the exceptional quality of Ayla's product!
I was at my sister-in-law's house in Kapolei and we wanted to pick up dinner and dessert. We saw this place on Yelp and was sold! When we came in it wasn't super busy. There was a lot of items left in the display case despite it being close to closing. We got a handful of different items to try. We got a whole plain cheesecake. It was very rich and tasty. We also got an assorted amount of European puffs. The pastry was stale. It tasted old as if it were sitting in the fridge for days. They had different flavors and all the flavors had the same stale taste. While the European puffs were disappointing, the cheesecake was good. However, it would not make me want to come back here or refer it to others. There are definitely other cheesecake places that are better overall.
I found this Japanese patisserie in west side! Recipe is from Japan and taste like Japanese patisserie(means not too sweet!) I got Caramel cheese cake, chestnuts roll cake for Halloween. Chestnuts roll cake was so good! I bought it for my co workers(they are all from Japan), they love it. I got custard puffs, chocolate puffs, matcha cheese cake today. Those puffs are like beard papa's. I like soft puffs but the custard was good. The price is reasonable! The puff is $3, cheese cake is $5.5 one whole roll cake is $16. I went there around 11am they just opened so there is no bread and not many items inside. Next time I want to try bread. 4stars because I wanted to try Mont Blanc which is my favorite. Hidden gems and recommend if you like Japanese sweets!!
Discovered this bakery when searching for a dessert to bring to a dinner party. We didn't want that standard grocery store bakery cake, and found just what we needed here. They have only been open for 2 months and still adding items. The bakery its self is small offering Japanese cheese cakes, cream puffs, Japanese bread and other breads. We purchased 4 different flavors of cheese cakes. Strawberry, their traditional, pineapple and green tea. I have only had two of the flavors and they are yummy. They offered the cheese cake by the slice or whole. This was our first time trying Japanese Cheese cake and it was a pleasant tastebud experience.
Wanted something sweet after a delicious dinner at Gina's Kapolei - yes they have one on the west side now!! Cute little bakery in Kapolei near food land. It's like Japanese style sweets, so very light, not super sweet and delicious. Get the pineapple cheesecake and the cream puff!!!
Soufflé cheesecake is all I needed to hear! Ayla's is light and fluffy, with a little tang. I prefer mine a bit more on the sweeter side. There were some beads of cream cheese throughout, but it was smooth for the most. There was not much selection for a Saturday afternoon. Just cheesecake and a couple of cream puffs. The soufflé cheesecake was not enough it self to make me want to come back...if you've had Kulu Kulu's they've set the bar pretty high in terms of flavor, texture, and keeping that perfect form.
Absolutely fantastic! Honestly, had never heard the term "patisserie" before but after a quick google search, decided we had to give it a try. Oh my... We got a whole strawberry shortcake, which my wife said is "the best cake I've ever had". That says a lot! Both of my daughters adored it as well! I got a slice of the strawberry soufflé cheesecake and let me tell you, it was marvelous, light and airy. Just wonderful. We were told that the baker is from Tokyo, and as such, her pastries are less sweet. What a welcome change of pace. Frankly, we're sick of the overwhelming sweetness that us Americans have become accustomed to. We will be back!!!!
Ayla's Patisserie came up through my search on Yelp when I was dining at a nearby establishment. The high ratings while few indicated this place was new and early indication seems like people are fans. Scrolling through the photos, the cream puffs and cakes seem to be what Ayla will be known for. We walked in and it's a cute little spot in Kapolei. The fridge cases had a selection of roll cakes, cheesecakes and cream puffs. We decided on trying a variety of cream puffs and picked up one of each flavor. The matcha wasn't available at the time so that was a bummer. The cream puffs look better than they tasted. The pasty for the cream puff seemed, soggy? That's the only way I can describe it. I do not want to say it's old, but it just did not have a fresh pastry taste to it which was quite a let down. I did enjoy the filling as Japanese style cream puffs err less on the sweet side. Also, for my nut allergy audience, the cream puff pastry are made with nuts, so be advised! I'm hoping it was just an off day, I want so much to love this place. If I'm back in the area, I'll support them again, perhaps trying their cakes next time
Staff was super kind and friendly, and it's a really amazing patisserie! It's small but the treats and sweets all pack flavor well worth the visit. The cheesecake and cream puffs are my faves from when I stopped by - Miguel Morales Photography read more

Finally! A decent bake shop in Kapolei! Again, influenced by the IG posts and this time it didn't disappoint. Yuzu Cheesecake by the slice or whole. Cream puffs. Any flavor. Both very light and not overly sweet - trademarks of Japanese pastries. Street parking by the Embassy hotel (near Kapolei Foodland). read more

I was pleasantly surprised when Ayla's finally reopened and relocated. There were a few bumps in the reopening, not ready to receive customers in a timely manner so I left since I had somewhere else to be and returned another date and time to see my favorites sold out. I opted for a half dozen cream puffs only to discover that the cream was slightly over mixed, tasting like butter. I haven't been back since but I do wish Ayla's well. read more

I found Ayla's Patisserie through an ad that arrived in my mailbox & decided to try it out today. I was not disappointed. Their strawberry European puff was made from the heavens. It was light, which was surprising because I thought the custard and strawberry would be too much together but it was very pleasant. I planned to take a bite of it in my car and eat the rest at home, but ended up finishing the whole thing in the Foodland parking lot. It was that good. The cashier was so nice, too :) Will definitely be coming back soon. Perhaps for half a dozen puffs. read more

Their cream puff was a bit stale, but their cake was really good! And reasonably priced. Their place is obviously new so it feels nice, neat, and clean. Service was good, but can't speak for the restaurant yet as we only picked up some bakery goods. Their strawberry cake was light and airy. I highly recommend. Maybe not as good as Kulu kulu's but still very delish! read more

Yay I am happy that there's a Japanese bakery on the West side! When I went they didn't have much selection but they did say come back in a week and there will be more bread and pastry options. I tried their Matcha souffle cheesecake and Matcha European Puff. Both was delish but my fave was the Matcha European Puff! read more

Happy to have a Japanese Bakery on this side of the island! I bought an assortment to try for me and my family. My husband and son said the custard puffs were really good. My mom thought the cheesecake would be lighter but I enjoyed my matcha cheesecake. It wasn't too sweet and the green tea flavor was really pronounced the way I like it. I liked the texture, not too spongy, not too dense and rich. I was kinda disappointed that they didn't have a plain cheesecake though cause that's my favorite, simple. But I'll be back for sure, can't wait to try their Japanese breads that they said they'll be incorporating on shelves soon! read more

Flavor of custard was very good and the pastry was a bit heavy, however I still enjoyed it. I was expecting more choices of pastries hence a lower star rating. There were about 4 pastry puffs, and a couple cakes. Cashier was friendly and shop was clean. read more

Went to the new location in Hilton Embassy in Kapolei expecting the same products from Ayla's Patisserie as previous location near Foodland Kapolei. Did not try the cheesecake or the cupcakes. Only wanted the cream puffs -matcha & vanilla! Looked forward to eating at least the same/similar cream puff pastries that were delicious (!) before, but found these oversized pastries at this location that looked like scones- they were large and thick(cream puff pastries usually have a skinnier/lighter skin) with the outer pastry shell itself dry & hard with the inside custard that was also dry and without any delicate velvety cream custard consistency. Would have preferred the original cream puffs that were quality over quantity. Sorry I will not return again... read more

First, I have to say, service was top notch! Everytime I come here, hoping for find something yummy, the service never disappoints. However, with that being said, unfortunately, the pastries could use a little help. The cream puffs, looked absolutely amazing, just wish they tasted like how they looked. The outer shell was a bit bland and the texture was stale. There was no slight crisp to it, and the internal cream was pretty good, just nothing special. Very light in taste to the point where it didn't stand out. I was almost hoping for a creme brulee type of pudding inside, but it was just whipped cream with a light taste. However, the small cups of strawberry shortcake and blueberry short cake was really nice! My family members loved the blueberry shortcake the best. Ambiance was nice too, so I would recommend coming here, but not everything was a hit. We will do an update when we eat their restaurant food, and not just their bakery. All in all, a good place to try. read more
