    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 .

    Parmesan Balsamic Mushroom Roll
    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

    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...

Hubs had to fast from 6 am for his 2 pm surgery so I thought he would probably be starving and would enjoy a delectable salt and butter roll from here. At $4.50 a piece I consider this a luxury for us. I found a close stall in the parking structure. A very cheerful polite male employee took my order. I had seen two occupied tables as I walked into the shop. Both had matcha drinks. Why not? I asked the young man assisting me, what's the best matcha drink? He said his favorite was banana matcha with extra banana foam. Okay I'll try it. He repeated it to the cashier. So popular there was a wait for beverages to be prepared. Soon enough mine was ready. I think Doc would enjoy this drink. This shop is a working bakery. Many yummy pastries displayed. Menu is posted high up above to choose from. Rather tiny shop with room for customers to stand in line to order and wait for drinks. Clean, busy with a few tables and chairs outside but pretty much in direct sun.

    So far I've only tried the breakfast items here a few times. The breakfast sandwich is different…read morebut good. I think the meat changes but it's usually some slice of meat rather than a sausage or bacon and there's also cooked greens on there that are a little different. The croissant items I've had have all been really good. Today I tried the quiche and it was very good and had a really tasty croissant crust. The egg and ricotta in there was really creamy and custard like. Mushrooms were good but I wonder if this would be even better with Hamakua mushrooms? It would mesh well with their use of local ingredients. The one negative is that the $3.75 coffee was TINY. Granted if you eat there I think you can refill it but kind of a rip off if you're getting things to go. The meat is all pretty pricy but it's local stuff so that's cool. There's also some unique things that you probably can't find elsewhere. I was excited to see venison pastrami and venison liver mousse. Hoping to try some of that stuff soon!

Since it was their anniversary on Sunday, also got their celebratory funfetti cupcake which also like their baked goods did not disappoint. The croissant base of many of their pastries is flaky. When fresh it crunches with every bite that you take. This time around we had the cinnamon roll, mango danish which had a chocolate mochi filling, and their char siu bun. It's such a neat take to have char siu in a croissant. We are used to having it in the doughy bao bread but in a croissant, savory with a crunchy outside tastes so much better. I love sweet but this one wasn't overly sweet, who would have thought that mango and chocolate pair so well together. It's the summer months, fresh mango on pastries. It was the perfect ripeness. For the cinnamon roll, you honestly cannot forget get their cinnamon roll...It's flaky and again the frosting is not overly sweet. Can't wait to get another box of their pastries again soon.

The bigger the malasadas size the more airy and fluffy and more bread layers that will be inside. 2. their malasadas always taste fresh and the same quality each time. 3. their malasadas don't feel oily or heavy at all Overall I would highly recommend this place for their Malasadas! I'm so happy to have found them. I can back multiple times on my trip. They also have other desserts too that I have yet to try. They have ice cream, cakes, and other desserts Also tip: if you are ordering a malasada also order a coffee or a matcha drink to go with it. The cinnamon sugar from the malasada just matches so perfectly with a drink this restaurant is also a nice place for walking! There's lot of stores and restaurants to walk around! I'm trying to remember but I think there was a book off that was not too far from here! If you either drive or maybe walk. Service: staff was super helpful and friendly while I was there.
