Their mochi is always so popular and I go to their pop ups at Nordstrom and Kahala Mall! Everything is so delicious but I ALWAYS get their chi chi dango filled mochi. The mochi is so soft and perfectly powdered so it doesn't stick to the paper. My biggest pet peeve is when the mochi sticks to the paper... Not a good vibe. At all. Bake You A Smile is one of my favorite mochis to get on-island. Service is quick and I suggest to check their Instagram because they will always post where they are and what they will be selling. read more

Freshest mochi in town with local flavors like Kauai Kulolo stuffed Chi Chi Dango Mochi or Kulolo butter mochi. I visited them at the Pearl AT kalauao event on wednesday evening. They can be found at their location in Aiea, check out their instagram for the latest times. I like that their mochi has a local flavor and the mochi itself is not too sweet and so soft and fresh! read more

Their stuff is so good and I can't make it myself so I have to pay the price. They make like a mochi topped cheesecake type parfait topped with fresh fruit and mochi. So far that's my favorite. Today we got butter mochi topped with almond cookie crumbles and mochi mango bread that we haven't cut into yet. read more

We drove out from town, but couldn't find the location. We checked multiple times (Yelp, Google, socials) that they were open. We drove in circles looking. I called three times before someone finally answered. She said, oh, we're not there today because we're going to be doing something somewhere else later...we'll be back next Wednesday. What?!? That's nothing like what you have listed. And there's no signage at all! She was so nonchalant about it--oh, yeah, we're just not open today, I didn't put signs because I didn't want to, didn't feel like we needed to. But come next Wednesday. I thanked her politely but was truthfully thinking to myself, You won't be open once during the next week despite being listed everywhere as open, and you think we'll come back?!? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighhhhhhhhht... read more

I've been a die hard follower of Bake You A Smile. I love her mochi! My friend got me addicted and I needed to have it regularly. My favorite is her kulolo or kulolo haupia. Honestly, everything is so good! She recently moved to the old Aiea Florist location in Aiea. While she is not open everyday, she does have pop ups at her store and at other locations. Follow her on Instagram for the most up to date information on her menu and where you can find where she will be. Her mochi is soft, but it could use more filling. Overall, very consistent. read more

I was craving mochi and I found out Bake You A Smile was doing a pop-up shop in Aiea, so I went to check it out! There was an array of packaged items ranging from mochi to candy and they all looked so good! Majority of the packages were mixed, which meant there were different flavors/types in one package, so you can try a little bit of everything! One of the packages I decided on getting was their holiday special: the Pumpkin Mix It consisted of macnut pumpkin crunch, pecan pumpkin crunch, pumpkin crunch chantilly and a pecan pumpkin butter mochi. I also got their Peanut Butter Mix, which had a chunky peanut butter mochi, peanut butter brownie mochi, peanut butter oreo mochi and some chi chi dangos! The mochi layer was incredibly fresh and soft with a slight firmness as it gently wrapped around a richly flavored filling! The mochi to filling ratio was perfect, with just the right amount of mochi and filling all in one bite. Blaine was friendly and helpful with what items they provided and what they personally recommended. I wished the same friendliness was reflected on their social media. The pop-up was a little bit difficult to find and they didn't answer my message on where it was located, but I eventually found it and I am thankful I did! Hopefully they start showing pictures of where they are so new customers have an easier way of finding them. read more

Decided to try bake you a smile as they were at two locations on Saturday 8/16 (Nordstrom and for a Maui fundraiser at American flooring). I opted for the nordstrom location since it was closer to me. They were located on the first floor and had a short line. Payment was either by cash or venmo. I got 3 items and it came out to around $30 for all 3 items. The owner could have been a little friendlier, but maybe thats just her personality. There was a handful of different types of mochi laid out on the table and you just tell them which one you want and they'll pack it for you - They ended up packing me the wrong item and i only noticed when i got home. I didnt pay much attention when i was there since i was distracted with trying to venmo them and holding my dog at the time. I tried to message them on instagram to let them know but they did not respond back but looked at the message. They even posted several times throughout the day and said it was a slow day for them on instagram but yet they did not even respond back to my message if i'm able to swap out the mochi for the correct one and drive all the way back to the mall. No one at my house eats peanut butter and luckily no one has a peanut allergy either. Luckily i was meeting some friends that night and just gave it away. The mochi texture itself is on the softer side, but theres more mochi than filling. It could probably last a few days without getting hard. I also got some of the assorted butter mochi but the crusted/top parts of the mochi was a little soft/soggy. 0 stars for customer service and 3 stars for the mochi itself. It's decent and worth a try. read more

Wowowowow!!! My sister and I ran into this mochi booth at this night market yesterday in Kakaako. I am so happy we did! We tried their chocolate covered strawberry filled mochi and oh wow. Not only are the pieces huge but everything about it was so good. The mochi was so fresh and soft and the chocolate strawberry was perfect and the strawberries we got were huge! Three pieces for $10 is a great price for what you get in my opinion. The young lady that helped us yesterday was so nice and patient and gave amazing customer service. I really want to try their mochi poke next and the other flavors of filled mochi they have! Everything at their booth looked so yummy yesterday it was super difficult to choose! I made a video about their mochi on my TikTok! You can see it @lexibermillo read more

Just heard about this business. I love mochi and had to try them. Oh my such a variety. The family were all so pleasant and kind. I picked up more than I ordered and couldn't wait to try them. It was absolutely yummy! Brought some to my cousin and friend, they raved about it!! read more

Your one stop shop for your mochi craving! This place is located behind Costco Waipio, across from Hopaco! It's best to follow them on IG @bakeyouasmile to find out when their next pop up is! This is actually their commercial kitchen where all the yummy mochi is made. They pop open a tent in their parking lot to sell their stuffed chi chi dango, butter mochi, & infamous kulolo rice with haupia and mochi balls! I've been coming here since the pandemic began for all my mochi cravings! They're always coming up with new mochi and butter mochi flavors and everything I've tried has been so good!! Here are some things I've tried: 1. Ube Oreo Butter Mochi with ube chi chi dango stuffed with Oreo cream cheese combo ($7). If you love ube and Oreo, this combo is for you! 2. Brownie butter mochi with brownie cheesecake stuffed chi chi dango ($7). Literal brownie baked onto butter mochi! And can't go wrong with brownie & cream cheese stuffed into soft chi chi dango. 3. Peanut Butter Oreo stuffed chi chi dango ($7 for 3 giant pieces) This is the newest creation and it's so good!! I love pb and Oreo and together it's amazing! The crunchy bites of Oreo with the creamy pb... mmm.. 4. Lilikoi Butter Mochi ($6 for 4 pieces) you can really taste the lilikoi in this one! It's sweet and tangy! 5. Kulolo Mochi Rice with haupia & mochi balls ($7). This is what everyone comes here for. I finally caved and decided to try it. I must say, I get the hype! The kulolo rice is nice and sticky and flavorful, the haupia sauce is sweet and coco nutty, and the mochi balls just adds a chewy soft texture. Definitely a mouthful of flavor! 6. Seasonal Pumpkin Mochi: during the fall season, they offer pumpkin treats such as pumpkin crunch stuffed chi chi dango and pumpkin biscoff butter mochi. If you love pumpkin, definitely be on the look out for those 2 specials! Overall, I haven't tried anything I didn't like from here! Their mochi & butter mochi stay soft even when kept in the fridge for a couple of days! read more
