Everything here is delectable!! I come here every other week as its very close to my job. The Blueberry Milk bread and the furikake hotdog are my go to items everything. Highly recommend if you love pastries both sweet and savory!! read more

Personal favorites so far are Gingerdoodle cookie and key lime tart. Yuzu lilkoi scone is ok if you want something plain, dry, and crumbly like a scone. Apple frangipane looks pretty but disappointed due to plain flavor. Key lime tart nice and tart... strong, rich flavor, and pretty presentation. Nice hole in the wall bakery joint and good selection of fine pastries. Competitive with Paris Baguette, less busy, homemade with fresh ingredients. read more

Favorite bakery in on the island. My boyfriend and I go here almost every week. Flavors are innovative and balanced. Love the potato and bacon bun, chicken potato adobo bun and ube cheesecake in particular. The fillings of the buns are delicious and flavorful, but the bread itself is also perfectly soft. Ube cheesecake is unique with a banana apple filling. Could clearly taste each flavor but it all came together perfectly. Pretty much always get these 3 things if available. The kakimochi choco chip cookie was also good with the saltiness of the kakimochi and a bit of salt sprinkled on top balancing out the sweetness of the chocolate. The guava lime ensaymada and ube ensaymada were fluffy and soft. Lemon kumquat brioche didn't hold back on the lemon flavor which was great, and the sourness was balanced with the sweetness of the crumb topping. Malunggay pesto pizza with eggplant was unique. They come out with different savory bread puddings every so often and I recommend giving it a try if you've never had anything like it before. Blueberry milk bread was solid, missed out on the strawberry milk bread so looking forward to that one coming back on rotation. The Bailey's choco espresso danish is one of my boyfriend's favorites... the chocolate filling tastes like hot chocolate and is pretty rich. My boyfriend recently got the haupia chocolate brioche and now it's one of his favorites. The parmesan balsamic mushroom roll is a classic, highly recommend if you like parmesan... Love the tarts too...... the crusts are just as good as the fillings. favorite one so far is probably the apple frangipane. They post their selection for the day on their Instagram story consistently so you can check and see what you wanna get ahead of time. The owner and everyone who works there are super friendly and the food is great so go check it out! read more

I love this bakery! It's a Filipino fusion bakery! Especially love their ube Ensenada which is soft and fluffy and ube jam not too sweet. I also ordered a huge mochi crunch cookie. The cookie is a good mixture of sweet and savory. If I work in Downtown, I would come here more! read more

Suffice to say the baked goods are EXCELLENT and if you order in advance (48 hour window) you can order their Umami Konbu Butter. My pick though was the savory chive and mushroom bread pudding followed by their lilikoi yuzu biscuit. I did get an Apple Tart for my friend who's birthday we were celebrating (Angst 1- when I ordered it I did say and emphasize do NOT cut.... and they did) but I guess it doesn't really matter as long as the tart was baked to its excellence. The Baker is FANTASTIC. and the Customer Service up front is EXCELLENT as well. Try one of everything when you go there. Average price $ 4 a piece. Don't share! (OK, you can share) and Remember before you go, order your umami konbu butter in advance. read more

What a great little gem, tucked away behind a black iron fence on Alakea. I was told by one of the amazing bakers that they're celebrating their one year anniversary in this location. It's not a big place at all, so when you walk in, there's the display case filled with all kinds of delectable yummies. I was there to buy a thank you goody box for someone who had helped me so I just picked as much as I could to fill the box, plus something for myself (an Adobo Pandasol, which I enjoyed after delivering the goody box). Service was delightful and everything is fresh and inviting. I will be back here again, guaranteed. read more

Too much to choose from but the Lilikoi biscuit is a must for me despite there are so many other sweet ones on display. I was lucky when I about to pay, Chef took out more Lilikoi biscuit and ask if I can get the fresh one. The cashier was so nice to switch for me. I also tried their ham and spinach bread pudding today because it sound interesting. It should be a savory item but not too salty. Very thick texture with ham and spinach inside. Although the top part was little hard to bite in. From time to time, I like to stop by their shop to see what they have. I want to try their Chizutani cake, hopefully one day, they will sell it as a slice... read more

I stopped at Ali'i coffee but needed something to eat with it. I searched for bakeries near me and Beyond Pastry Studio came up at #1. It was early, and it was an interesting walk to find it. Beyond is a hidden gem! Situated between two office buildings, and had I known, there was a small coffee cart in front, and I would've bought from them, SolCafe. The inside of the Studio is small, but enough room for at least 4 or 5 people. Lots to choose from! I was so into what was in the case, I didn't take any photos. I bought the blueberry coffee cake and a ginger cookie. The friendly owner? told me to check out the pumpkin crunch cake which was seasonal. Now, I'm a big fan of the Aiea Bowl crunch cake, but this one was deeeeeelicous!!!! Not overly sweet...and just the right balance of crust and nuts!!! Soooo good! The coffee cake was delicious too! Definitely find this little haven of sweetness! You won't be disappointed! I will probably stop by one more time before I leave. There's a pear tart calling my name! Mahalo Beyond Pastry Studio! read more

This little bakery was found in a pinch while I was looking for a place that sells a good cake around here. It's open early in the morning so I could stop by before work to pick up a cake for a birthday of a colleague.

I will drive out of my way to visit Beyond Pastry Studio. Cristina, the owner is a talented pastry chef who has passion and skill, yet she's incredibly sweet, humble, and is always at the shop. I always give props to business owners who are actually there, making your food, serving you, even ringing you up. My top choices here are the UBE ENSAYMADA, Epicurean Cheesecake, Snickerdoole, and banana bread. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. The shop has a lot more selections on the menu - I haven't tried them all because I always stick to my favorites. The best place to park is in Alii Place. Bring cash because it's a cash-only parking lot. Parking is free if you're in-out within 15 minutes, otherwise it's 75 cents for the first hour. read more

I had been following Beyond Pastry Studio for awhile on Instagram and I finally made it to the bakery yesterday! It's located in downtown next to Alii Place and if you're quick, you can score free parking like me. When I arrived, they were sold out of their very popular Umami biscuits and Ube creamcheese ensaymadas. Bummer, but I was still able to get a good variety. I picked up the cherry coffee cake; chocolate basket - which is a serving size of their chocolate babka; maple bacon pudding, apple tart, and chocolate milk bread. Cristina was so sweet that she threw in a double chocolate cookie which I am so grateful she did. That cookie was exceptional! I honestly enjoyed all the baked goods. My kids as well. My favorites were the chocolate basket and the cherry coffee cake because I enjoy babkas and cakes. My son who loves bacon really liked the maple bacon pudding and I really liked the texture. The apple tart was pretty and fancy and the chocolate milk bread was soft and creamy. I have heard amazing things about their cheesecakes so I look forward to ordering one! Follow them on IG for the latest on what's baking! read more

This is my go to breakfast place. Tucked further back off the sidewalk on Alakea than.most businesses, the studio itself is pretty small. They usually set up a table outside for patrons to sit and relax but mainly people grab and go. They offer a wide range of pastries and baked goods, both sweet and savory. My absolute favorite savory item is their turkey jalapeno thing and for the sweet its gotta be their furikake chocolate chip cookie. Tho, like many things these items are rotated in and out or offered as specials. Always a good idea to check their Instagram before heading down. And make sure you get there early as a lot of stuff is usually sold out by noon. Staff is super friendly and accommodating. Couldn't recommend this place more. Oh, and let's not forget their Filipino Pastry Fridays!! read more

Really like this place, really unique and interesting items that are not offered anywhere else. They like to experiment and have new items on a regular basis. Just a few observations: Really like their fruit pastries, made where their flavors stand out and not the mass made sugary messes coming from supermarkets/big box/club retailers. Prices are going to be higher but the quality is worth it. As mentioned before, not a heavy hand using sugar/corn syrup. One area of improvement, some pastries are too dry. It's ok to accompany this with coffee, tea or milk but this may bother some folks. The staff is super friendly and engaging, go ahead and ask them questions, they will be more than happy to chat about each pastry. Recommended. read more

This little hole in the wall bakes some amazing pastries! I always passed by this place during my lunch breaks but when my fellow foodie cousin from the 702 handed me the assignment to check this place out, I definitely had to try it out and ended up as a frequent customer! All the pastries are very fresh and made in house by friendly owner and amazing baker, Cristina. I was fortunate to try multiple pastries on numerous occasions as they are limited and sell out quickly. The pastries range from savory to not so overly sweet. The tarts have a buttery crust and depending on what she made for the day (had the chance to try out the pear and apple), fruits aren't overly cooked but retained its crunch which adds a great texture to the dish. The strawberry coffee cake was nice and moist and melted in your mouth. Pair it with a cup of joe and you're ready to take on the world. Fridays are Filipino Pastries Fridays which includes chicken adobo pandesal that brings a good amount of savory flavor with the pandesal and ube cream cheese enseymada that wasn't too creamy or too filling but perfect in every way. Certain items are made to order (24 hrs in advance) like her chocolate babka, which wasn't overly flavored with chocolate and cinnamon, but was nice and light. One item that I have yet to try is her epicurean cheesecake which I was told was very delicious. It's definitely on my list of things to try. There are rare occasions where she might have extra but that gets snagged by a lucky customer in a second. As mentioned, Cristina's pastries tend to sell out quickly and I can see why. Her pastries definitely showcases the love and passion she has for the food. And she's always super friendly when I walk into her bakery. Check her amazing place out, but don't wait too late. There were times where I took a late lunch (around 12:30/1pm) and ended up in disappointment at her shop because she sold out of all her goodies! read more

Filipino, French, Middle Eastern, & Southeast Asian breads & pastries. Innovative, unique, & non-traditional pastries; artisan breads; babkas (cross between a cake & bread, braided w/ chocolate cinnamon that originated in Poland & Ukraine); elegant layered cheesecakes; & butters for spreading. Ceramic pottery. Ahh, now I know why it's named Beyond Pastry Studio. Growing up in the Philippines, Cristina Nishioka started baking in 2002 at age 19. Although she graduated with a degree in history from the Univ of the Philippines, she also studied pastry arts & graduated at the top of her class. After graduation, she worked for Julie's Bakeshop, a franchised baking company of 40+ years, where she rose through the ranks & became the 1st woman lead baker & regional manager of the company. With her dream of learning more about baking, she worked in Qatar (Middle East) for 2 years, learning French baking techniques & making Lebanese desserts. Then she moved to Singapore as a pastry chef instructor at a well-known baking school. Cristina then moved to HI in 2015 & worked at 3660 on the Rise as its pastry chef. In 2018, she won acclaim by beating 70 other entries to win the Cookie Corner's cookie contest by creating her kakimochi chocolate chip cookie recipe. In Dec. 2020, she started offering her pastries online, which led to pop-ups at Fishcake in Kakaako & Nordstrom in the Ala Moana Shopping Center where she would sell her babkas, bread, & signature cheesecakes. After sellout successes online and at her pop-ups via social media and word-of-mouth recommendations, Cristina finally opened her brick-and-mortar bakery on 9/1/2021 on Alakea Street in the heart of the business downtown district in Honolulu. There is no menu, as Cristiana's creativity dictates what she'll be baking each day. We tried the following: · Portuguese sausage furikake biscuit. This savory biscuit had bits of Portuguese sausage in the biscuit & topped w/ furikake. How ingenious, & the flavors paired well w/ each other, giving it a delicious taste! · Yuzu lilikoi biscuit. Flavorful biscuit w/ a generous & not-too-sweet glaze of yuzu & lilikoi. The tartness and the unique lilikoi taste elevate this biscuit to a higher level! · Apple cinnamon tart. So flavorful & buttery w/ a crunchy crust & melt-in-your-mouth tart topped w/ pretty apple slices. They also make a similar plum frangipane tart. Cristina uses fresh ingredients in her quality pastries fresh ingredients, e.g., fresh coconuts for her coconut pies, jackfruits for jackfruit upside down cake, & mango for mango-pineapple Spanish rolls. Her delicious, unexpected flavors baked together have resulted in her pastries selling out quickly by lunchtime. Some of her flavorful offerings include: ube cream cheese ensaymada; banana foster cake; zucchini mushroom bacon brioche; double chocolate chip & snickerdoodle cookies; Spanish rolls; semi-dried tomatoes, olives Parmesan biscuit; kabocha, bacon, & pumpkin seed biscuit; pandan milk bread; maple bacon bread pudding; walnut, craisin, oatmeal country scone; & more. Call in the morning or order online before they're gone. Follow the latest updates on Instagram. Her signature Epicurean cheesecakes, w/ layers of sponge cake, cheesecake, lilikoi, & mascarpone cheese & infused w/ local sourced vanilla & covered w/ sponge cake crumbles, are best sellers. A variation of a lighter Japanese cheesecake, Cristina previously took a pause in making them & has started up again this week on a pre-order basis. Beyond Pastry Studio is clean, bright, & modern. It has a spacious open kitchen where you'll see Cristina & staff making their delicious pastry concoctions. They're friendly & personable, as they are happy to answer any questions or explain about their offerings. What is amazing is that Beyond Pastry Studio is also an art studio where ceramic pottery & other crafts are on display rotation by various local artists, as well as periodic live music by harpists. Cristina uses her bakery as a community space where artists & pastry chefs can collaborate & learn from each other. She plans to offer hands-on baking workshops to the public beginning in Jan. 2022. So, it is of no surprise that Cristina loves painting, sculpturing, & playing musical instruments. Cristina also gives back to the community by taking part in various fundraisers. Proceeds have benefited organizations against racism and the HI Society of Women Engineers for training, networking, scholarships, & outreach activities. Hours of operation are Tues to Fri, 8a to 3p; & Sat 10a to 1p for pre-order pick-ups only. Paid parking available at Alii Parking Garage (entrance on Alakea St.) or metered parking on Richards St. Walk through an alleyway next to Alii Place until you see the bakery's black wrought iron gates that is next to the former Mandalay Restaurant. We look forward in returning to try their Epicurean cheesecakes & other pastries, as we're sure all are delicious! What a great find! read more

If I could give more than five stars, I would give Cristina ALL the stars possible! I first tried her assorted cookie box and chocolate babka at Cristina's Nordstrom popup in 2021, and since then I fell madly in love with all of her creations. I've been meaning to check out her new storefront in downtown, but as someone who avoids downtown at all costs bc of the limited parking, it took me quite a bit of time to finally check out the store. I check her Instagram pretty frequently to get updates on when her cakes will launch, and the heavens finally blessed me, as I coincidentally came across her post and saw that there were "only a few left" of both of the cakes I wanted (sadly, the chocolate epicurean cheesecake sold out in an instant) I pulled out my credit card, held my breath and was delighted to receive the confirmation email for pickup. Parking was easy at Ali'i Place, and since it was a Saturday, it was only $.50/half hour The pick-up process was really easy - Cristina asked if I was picking up an order, and she grabbed my boxes and I was out the door (after chatting for a bit, of course). All of the pastries in the display case looked AMAZING and i was so tempted to give them my entire life savings but alas my refrigerator (and stomach) probably wouldn't be able to hold all of those magnificent sweets so I left with my two new babies - the Epicurean Cheesecake ($34) and Chīzutani ($30). The Epicurean Cheesecake has delicate layers of a light sponge cake, tangy lilikoi and creamy vanilla mascarpone. Every layer compliments each other so well to create a symphony of sweet, tangy, creamy, fluffy perfection in your mouth The chīzutani is a complete 180 from the angelic cake, and it's more of a hardcore rich, thick, luscious cheese tart in a buttery, flaky puff pastry crust. you can feel the different textures of cheeses that Cristina throws in there and before you realize it, you'll have devoured both cakes and regretted not savoring it more Cristina is a wizard when it comes to sweets and I can't wait to try her delicious pastries next! read more

I am THRILLED that Beyond Pastry Studio now has a brick and mortar shop. This means that I can get my fix when my cravings hit. Parking: It's downtown but it's EASY!! As SOON as you see Beyond Pastry Studio, you'll see the parking deck for Ali'i place. Turn in to the deck and there's plenty of parking. It's a paid parking structure but it is VERY cheap!! No need to validate or anything, just pay on your way out. Food: O-mazing. I first learned about Beyond when ordering their Epicurean Cheesecake when they used to operate out of Fish Cake. Once that cake hit my mouth, it was game over from there. When I heard this shop opened up, I knew I had to go. So far, of their pastries, I've only tried the double chocolate cookies, country scone, and the chocolate milk bread. ALL are good. The double chocolate cookie was so good that I just recently added half a dozen on to my Epicurean Cheesecake order for my birthday. Heehee. Those cakes are like the IDEAL brownie-cookie combination. Magical. The country scone is also wowzers. I just got it on a whim because it was the only one left in the case, and boy am I glad I did. It's sweet, savory, nutty, fruity, and the perfect scone texture. Next time, I will grab a few of these. It would be the perfect breakfast. Thank you, Beyond for opening up a bakery and storefront. Can't wait to pick up my birthday cake and cookies next month. Cheeeee!!! read more

My boyfriend and I LOVE this bakery! I think we've tried everything on their menu now?? this cute little bakeshop is tucked away from the main street so it can be hard to miss, but it's in between Ali'i Place building and the Central Pacific Bank on Alakea. The 2 employees I see every time I visit are so kind and love to talk about their pastries. Everything we tried: ube ensaymada - great ube flavor, it's light but present and well balanced with the sugar topping chocolate basket - like a baby chocolate babka! if you can't commit to buying the whole thing, this yummy baby has all the best parts in a single serving size chocolate milk bread - probably our all time favorite here. if you come early in the morning you can catch a fresh batch and the bread is soooo fluffy, soft, and warm. absolutely delicious! umami biscuit - a fantastic twist on a traditional biscuit by adding savory ingredients in the biscuit. it's so moist, not dry at all and surprisingly works so well for breakfast strawberry coffee cake - not a traditional coffee cake! a little crumblier and soft, topped with strawberries Every time we come in there's something new to try. From the regular rotation of goodies to the weekly specials, this bakery has something for everyone. read more

Beyond Pastry Studio - Spanish roll and lilikoi bun - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I'm so thrilled that I finally got my hands on not one, but two epicurean cheesecakes from Beyond Pastry Studio! I usually see the owners post too late because by the time I go on the website it's sold out. But this time when saw her post & went straight to the website, it said "1 left" for both the regular epicurean cheesecake and the chocolate one so of course I had to add both to my cart. When checking out it was a fast and simple process and I was able to pick the time I wanted to pick it up. My mom drove me there so that I didn't have to find parking which I'm thankful for her because it was much easier that way. She parked right on the side kind of by Subway and waited in the car in case she had to move the car. They are located right next to the old Mandalay restaurant. There is a black metal gate on the left hand side. You go through that gate and you'll see a sign in the bakery window that says "Beyond Pastry Studio". They are usually closed on the weekends but open for online order pick-up. I walked in and the owner made sure my name was on the list and then gave me my order. She was so nice & friendly and I explained to her how excited I was to finally try her cheesecake. She thanked me and I went on my way. As soon as we got home, I tried them both and they were so good! Light and fluffy and I love the crumbs of cake on the outside. The original epicurean cheesecake was my favorite. The cheesecake part is not heavy like a New York cheesecake which can be dangerous because you can eat a lot of it. I hope to come again and try her other pastries that she makes that looks so dang good too! If you haven't gone to Beyond Pastry Studio yet, I suggest you give them a follow and go go go. read more

This place is a little hidden and unless you know where it is, you will find it easily. It's between the buildings of the Alii Place and the former Mandalay location which is now Bourbon St. It's a little set in from the sidewalk with black iron gates in front. I remembered the "Cafe 8 1/2", used to be here serving Italian food but moved to Pauahi St under Soffritto! Beyond Pastry Studio has been opened at their Brick and Mortar on Alakea Street for two weeks! This past Friday, I was able to go just after 10 am so I was able to buy one of everything except for the Almond Plum Tart which was already sold out! The day before I was planning to pick up some pastries around noon, but I've decided to wait until the next day, since they may not have a good selection. Good thing! I was told the day before they were sold out by noon! So if you planning to check it out, don't wait until later in the day even though they are opened until 3 pm. They are open at 8:30 am, but hopefully in the future they will consider to open up a little earlier for some customers like me to purchase pastries before work. =) Everything looked so yummy, I decided on one of everything! Most of the baked goods were $4 with some at $5 each and the cookies were $3 each. I didn't have to deal with any coins since there was no tax or the tax was included in the price. It was an great assortment of pastries to try. I was able to sliced them into bite-sized pieces to share some with co-workers, friends and with mom. They have some sweet, not to sweet and savory items. For items that were sweet, I especially liked the lilikoi yuzu biscuit. It had a yummy lilikoi and yuzu glazed on top of the biscuit and loved the double chocolate chip cookies! If you love chocolate, you would love this huge double chocolate chip cookie filled with loads of chocolate chips! Banana foster cake was a petite banana loaf cake with the sliced/glazed banana on the top. That was moist and not too sweet. Some were semi healthy like the zucchini and chocolate muffin or something different like the Mango Pineapple Spanish roll! I love savory, so I loved the savory biscuits and the pesto w/ walnut bread basket! The sun-dried tomato, olive,and parmesan biscuit was delicious, but what caught my eye was the Kobocha, bacon and pumpkin seed biscuit! That was different and it was good! I love bacon and pumpkin seeds and the biscuit had diced kabocha inside! I bought one for my friend who wanted to try this place but also shared with her bite-sized samples of everything I bought! My friend agreed with me and said everything was good! I met the Founder/pastry chef Cristina Nishioka who made all these yummy innovated pastries! Wow you can tell she put a lot creativity and passion into her products! I read she was a pastry chef at "3660 on the Rise" for a few years. Prior to that, she worked in Singapore, & Qatar, and grew up in the Philippines. Cristina and her worker were really nice and there was also a harpist playing in their store! His name is John Paul Brabant! Beautiful music! I'll be sure to visit again, since I know their products will rotate and new items to come for me to try! I need to try the Almond Plum tart!! Congratulations Beyond Pastry Studio on your first Brick and Mortar and I wish your business all the best and success! May your business prosper in the years to come. I know during the COVID pandemic, times are hard with some businesses are closing. It's good to know other businesses are growing and I'm glad I was able to support! Thanks for reading my review =) read more

After doing some early morning errands, my dad and I wanted to hit up a new bakery. It took a while to finally find a bakery open at 7am but I finally stumbled across Beyond Pastry Studio. Driving down the road where it's located, it's fairly easy to miss. There's no parking close by so I had to be dropped off in front of the bakery. It's a small shop with a limited amount of pastries, and at the time I went, I think there were only ~7 or so pastries on display. Honestly, I was really craving the cheesecakes that I saw on Yelp but I did not read those reviews beforehand about how you need to pre-order them. So instead, here was my order (cost $26 in total): Chocolate cookie - Not too sweet, had a slight bitter chocolate taste to it. Soft. Strawberry coffee cake - Moist and slightly crumbly. Would recommend drinking a warm drink along with this. Apple tart - Buttery and flaky crust. Chicken adobo pandesal - Honestly, the bread was the best part about this. Personally I wish it had slightly more onions. It was a bit dry in my opinion and I wish there some kind of moist component. I will definitely come back and try to pre-order their cheesecakes in the future! read more

Got the notification on IG that the lemon cheesecake was available for pre-order. I love lemony pastries, so I had to try it. Picked it up on Friday and had a slice on Saturday. So, if I could I would try to eat the whole thing in one sitting. It was creamy and the kalamansi curd gave you that tang at the end. The toppings of the castella cake and riesling gelee added texture and complimentary flavors to the cake. I most definitely like this cake better than all the others. read more

#58 for 2021 Found out about this wonderful business from a former classmate via social media. Follow on IG for latest updates and deets. Also check out their website via Google. Highly recommend preorders unless you're able to score some cheesecake, bread, butter, babka at a moment's notice. Selections are sold out in a jiffy. Preordered online an Epicurean cheesecake with berry compote on March 1st for pick up on April 3rd inside Fishcake on Kamani St. Must try Epicurean cheesecake with berry compote! Light tasting, smooth and amazing! One of the best cheesecakes I've consumed. Worth the wait. Adults and kids raved about Epicurean cheesecake! Sufficient to feed 10 sliver slices. My MIL asked me to provide the website as she expressed interest. Serving instructions are included on a card in the box along with a few suggested wines. Looking forward to try their breads and butter. Thank you C & A! read more

This is a very high quality bakery and the owner is always pleasant and sweet. It's in the old 8 and a Half Cafe space. My absolute favorite is the savory kabocha and bacon savory biscuit. They are the best biscuits I've ever had! I don't know how she gets it so crisp on the edges. The texture is fantastic! My second favorite is the maple bacon pudding. Again, the crunch on the edges is spot on. And it's not too sweet. Third favorite is the double chocolate cookie. And I don't even like or crave cookies. But this is a gooood cookie. Fourth favorite are the fruit tarts. Fifth is a chicken adobo pandesal--my husband likes this and he usually refuses to eat Filipino food. Sixth, the strawberry and blueberry coffee cakes; my kids gobble these up. In reality, you can't go wrong with anything here. Plus service is great and sometimes (usually Fridays) there's a live harpist! read more

Beyond Pastry Studio is a pop-up located in Fishcake in Kakaako. The owner is the former pastry chef of 3660 on the Rise and has a long history of community outreach and making delicious baked goods. In terms of how to order, you need to go to the website, where you'll find a selection of items on offer, including cheesecakes, breads, and babka. You need to pre-order in advance, but the wait is worth it. After reading an article in Frolic, I decided to order the babka ($12.50). I have been looking everywhere for local babka and was excited to try it. As you can see from the picture, it's beautifully presented and has layers of chocolate and cinnamon. An added bonus: this recipe is vegan! Awesome. They are often sold out of pre-orders, so get your order in early. read more

Can't go wrong with a pastry shop that has some great reviews. Got an assortment of pastries on a Saturday. The marzipan tart was my favorite due to its moist texture and great flavor. The second favorite was the yuzu pastry that was a bit dry but had good flavor. The furikaki scone was dry but you could taste the furikaki so a good third. I am a big fan of blueberry but the dryness of the pastry was a big turn off for me. The last chocolate like croissant wasn't my favorite but I'm not a fan of chocolate pastries. Overall, the flavors were good. Would like to try their other pastries since they have a lot of good reviews. read more

Ordered the chocolate epicurean cheesecake for my boyfriend's birthday and everyone who tried it loved it! The cake is a bit small for the price though. read more

They make pretty good bake goods. A friend from work brought some for the staff to sample one day. Adobo pandesal, Blueberry coffee cake, scones, apple tart, and the chocolate basket. They closed at 2pm so gotta got their early before it sells out. read more
