    Blueberry milk bun and ham and spinach bread pudding
    Bethani E.

    Love their sweet and savory pastries. Had the ham and spinach savory bread pudding. It was soft and creamy with the cheese and egg as well. Really well balanced flavors and a good size for a breakfast treat. Also, grabbed the blueberry milk bun as well. Fresh blueberry, light breaded bun sprinkled with powdered sugar. Just the right amount of sweetness. Everything is made with care and intention. Delicious!

    The blueberry milk bread, is the reason I jumped on yelp after eating this because it was good. The pastry is soft!, the custard not too sweet, generous with the blueberries. Large piece, and I ate it fast. It was individually wrapped, so perfect if you want to save any leftovers.

    This little bakery is a block away from Iolani Palace and has the most wonderful pastries. I stopped in to quench an afternoon sweet tooth craving after seeing great reviews on Yelp. There were about three cases filled with scones, tarts, savory and sweet rolls, everything looked fresh and amazing. I had a hard time deciding. The clerk was friendly and anxious to serve. I love key lime and I selected a slice of key lime tart. The tart was incredible with dense key lime filling, whipped cream with a bit of lemon curd. The combination was fabulous. The crust was flaky. There are several table outside to eat on the patio. A small corner with gifts (cards, artisan pottery and more) was on the north side of the small shop. I'd go everyday if I was closer. Worth a visit. I found street metered parking about a block away.

    Beyond has been one of my new go-to places when in the area! One of my favorites is their mushroom/balsamic vinegar/parmesan pastry. I never thought I'd like the combo but it's really good! There's is a sight crisp from being backed which pairs perfectly with the mushroom. I love how they have new things to try all the time. Their IG also shares the daily specials which I find very helpful. The shop is located on Alakea St right next door to the Chinese restaurant. Just look for their fence~ you won't miss them.

    10/29/25 Spinach and Ham Bread pudding
    Jenn N.

    Part 1 of visit... I bought two things- a classic Ensaymada and a spinach and ham bread pudding. 10/29/25 Wednesday. About 10:45/ 11:15am. I hadn't thought about this place when I first discovered it two months ago, but because I was coming from Kakaako and got off the bus in town right next to the Supreme Court, I figured you know what I'm gonna walk over there and I discovered there was a huge amount of people that do go in there, which is a great thing for their business and they really had some nice stuff. The board that was outside. The door really had a noted amount of things that possibly was made for the morning and I think they ran out of two or three things by the time I headed in because they probably sell out on a lot of the good stuff, but I did manage to get the last classic Ensaymada. (Made for the Filipino week celebration) has buttercream on top cream cheese, and sprinkles with sugar and shredded dried coconut. - in some places called: "Desiccated coconut" This Ensaymada is light and perfect.. it's that croissant with a lovely lively lifted look. As if it took happy pills to look and taste so wonderful! If you were to have this Ensaymada it has to be on a saucer plate where you were set in the middle town cafe of Paris haute couture district and they would give you a fork and knife.. they WOULD NOT- forget to give you that fork and knife cause you would get embarrassed bitting it to by using your hands.... (Some foods actually taste and look better with a fork and knife) this is one of those pastries... it's was definitely a treat to have chosen that Ensaymada. Note on this Ensaymada- I was lucky to have chosen that last Ensaymada because a gentleman before me also mentioned it was his first time like my first time going into Beyond pastry Studio... and he let me take that last Ensaymada on the tray so thank you - the gentleman that works in downtown Honolulu for letting me buy that Ensaymada. The spinach and ham bread pudding. Well, it's worth its weight in deliciousness. I definitely would buy that again just for lunch. It's quite the bite and savory that one can really enjoy. if anybody has tried a quiche Lorraine just imagine that as this thing in a very compounded type of mini loaf, that's what this was. It had an extra extraordinary taste. It fell just like a Lorraine would if you were to bite into one, and it was very good - excellent very dense. I would highly recommend it if somebody needed a quick bite for lunch I'd buy that again .... There are a number of things that I would've liked to have tried also and it is highly recommended that if you're in and around the downtown area to try these pastries from Beyond pastry studio, it is certainly in namesake Beyond just your typical pastry - Ensaymada hot couture Café and spinach and ham bread pudding like a compound quiche Lorraine Highly recommended!!!

    Yum!

    First time visit to this pastry venue. As a first timer, I went for one marquis pastry: the Classic Ensaymada. Wow! Fabulous pastry, light fluffy pastry base with a delicious cheese topping! Service is at the counter, by the display case. I was behind several who were getting pastries for their office. No worries. Two clerks were on hand and moved things along nicely! No dining in here. So I took my pastry to a local coffee shop.

    Beyond what I expected... This cute little bakery has always caught my eye whenever I park at Alii Place Parking Garage which is right beside them and on this day I was going to Honolulu District Court and when I was done you know that I had to grab some treats for taking care of some adulting errand. Walking into this super tiny bakery you're instantly greeted by a staff and a couple of large display case filled with various baked goods and it was my first time so I had no idea what I really wanted but felt the vibe to be quite pressured as the staff was staring at me as I was browsing felt a bit uncomfortable but knowing I wanted something I just made a quick decision which the first was the "Parmesan Balsamic Mushroom Roll" to which he asked if I wanted a box and said yes to which asked how many did you want...feeling dumb I said "5" which is the total amount of pastries I wanted but not knowing as I was eagerly deciding he put iff of the Mushroom Roll in the box to which I added more items like Blueberry Coffee Cake, Ham and Cheese Roll. You'd think I'd question a $37 total for just five items lol I didn't and just paid and be on my way and wondered why it was so heavy lol! Well I brought it to work and we all agreed that it was quite heavy and rich after a couple of bites it was difficult to finish.

    I have been here several times for pastries. They are the best on the island. I asked why it was so good and they told me they don't use any preservatives and everything is made from scratch daily. You can park right next door at Alii Place parking garage. They also have baking classes sometimes. My daughter took a class and made some amazing pastries.

    Must get! The flavor was so wonderful!

    I had jury duty years ago. I can't remember what that was about but I remember this bakery .

    Sydney C.

    A cute little pastry shop right next to Alii Place! Perfect for breakfast if you work downtown. I stopped by using the grace period for the Alii Place parking garage. There's a few tables outside of the shop, but only one is under cover if it's raining. I ordered the Rachel's Jalapeno Turkey Roll, Parmesan Balsamic Mushroom Roll, and Umami Biscuit. My favorite was the Parmesan Balsamic Mushroom Roll. The balsamic acidity paired perfectly with the parmesan cheese and bread. The jalapeno turkey roll was okay. I felt like the bechamel was overpowering and the turkey was barely noticeable. Same with the umami roll. I wish it had more umami flavor. The cheddar cheese and konbu flavors weren't shining through. The selection and flavor combinations all looked delicious! I definitely need to go back and try the other pastries! Maybe get a little sweet treat for myself too.

    Apple Tart and Blueberry Coffee Cake
    Lori L.

    There is a comforting feeling being in a Filipino bakery. In the Philippines, bread is often eaten for breakfast and snacks, so bakeries are a cornerstone. Their soft, slightly sweet bread is often flavored with ube, coconut, pandan, cheese, and sugar. Beyond Pastry is a tiny bakery doing fun twists on classic pastries. The familiar ensaymada comes in ube and seasonal flavors. Today, it was guava cream filling every part of the generous spiral. Their version of "danishes" is a milk bread bun for the base with a topping. Blueberry is a regular and today's seasonal flavor was lilikoi. This bun is tall, so the ratio is more bread to toppings. If you prefer savory over sweet, Beyond Studio makes savory breads such as parm and balsamic mushroom, pesto eggplant pizza, and furikake hotdog that pack a flavor punch. I appreciate their unique flavor combos and these were just as tasty reheated the next day. It's best to walk there if you can. If you drive, the closest paid parking lot is next door at Alii Place. And make sure to go early to secure your goodies!

    Beyond Pastry on Alakea Street just celebrated their 4th anniversary with some of the most wonderful selections. Friday's are always loaded and heavily stocked. On this anniversary day there were even some selections I had never seen before! ...Calamansi meringue danish: get outta here! ...Pandan coco choux: please please please do a repeat of this one! Hahah. Loved the celebration of a few other popup businesses in the courtyard. Such a festive Vibe worthy of this celebration. Looking forward to the next 40 years of wonderful and innovative offerings by Cristina and team. Thank you for feeding us so deliciously!

    Ube Ensaymada
    Daron C.

    This place deserves all the stars and love and support in the world. You walk in and smell not just love but a maniacal desire for perfection and hustle from Christina. The pastries are org***ically amazing. I told her she should set up cameras outside just so she can watch her first time customers ooh'ing and aah'ing over her oh so buttery and oh so delectable creations...truly the best pastries I've had on the island. So good that we came back the next day from Hawaii Kai! We got: Ube Ensaymada, Mushroom/Balsamic, Mornay with Bacon, Potato, and Cheese, Yuzu Lilikoi Biscuit, Gluten Free Chocolate Decadence, and Chocolate Bananas Foster. They were all just so unique and outstanding. Owning a small business myself I know how hard it is so I'm overjoyed to support other small businesses...especially ones like this where a commitment to excellence is so evident. There's a 15 min grace period at Ali'i Place Parking Garage (google it) right next door so if you park run down, order, and run back the parking is free lol. We did this the second time but paid $1.50 while taking our time purveying and ordering and enjoying outside the first time. Congrats Christina...you the Bomb.Com lol...

And it was a Tuesday night! Great that there was a menu on the door so we could see what the excitement was all about. Appeared to be fancy matcha drinks and desserts with a gelato bar. Decided since we had free parking and the line didn't seem too long, grabbing a gelato to take home shouldn't take long. There was only 1 person working to serve the entire restaurant! She had to make every fancy dessert! Omg. But as I watched her, I realized that she was so sweet to everyone and worked very efficiently. We actually did not wait long at all, as there were only 3 orders ahead of us. When it was our turn, she let us sample the gelato flavors. We ended up buying twice as many scoops because they were all so delicious! Not cheap but tasty! We got the azuki (creamy because it's mixed with marscopone), black sesame, miso (taste kinda like caramel), and seasonal watermelon (only for August). The matcha chocolate was very unique. Didnt try the mango. My fav was the watermelon, which was more of a sorbet than gelato. Will definitely return to try their other desserts!

Was a bit surprised that the aunties were arill making them though they were gonna close in less than 2 hours. We hopped into the car and turned on the ac while we opened up the first mango mochi. Wasn't a huge fan of the whipped cream but the mango was pretty sweet. The mochi had a nice chewy and soft texture to it. Sadly, wasn't a fan of the regular red bean or ube mochi but did enjoy the texture. Went back a few days later at 10 and saw a full fridge of the mango mochi w/ lima bean. This is likely the only thing I'd go back for which was pretty good. A full 1/2 of a mango sits inside a bit of white bean paste wrapped in a soft and chewy mochi. Only thing that would've made this even better is if the mango we had would've been sweeter. Decent mango taste but understand there's no way to guarantee whether a mango is sweet or not. Still prefer the unique mochi flavors at Nishodo but quite enjoyed the texture or the mochi her at Kansai. Did notice the mochi here still has a good texture even the next day.
