TLDR: No samples. Too sugary. Ice crystals…read more I adore ice cream. Rain or shine. Hot or cold weather. Anytime. Hammond's has been on my radar for a while. Was looking forward to tasting their ice cream. Hoped to add it to my rotation. Visited 2x to see if my 1st experience was a fluke. Unfortunately it wasn't. As the photo states: *No samples* Surprised this was not mentioned in recent reviews. Some reviews from 2025 mention 1 free sample & a charge for additional samples. Super annoying although not a deal-breaker if the ice cream lived up to the hype. 1st visit: a "flight" of 2 miniature cones. Chocolate & the other flavor was not memorable. Can't remember the price, maybe $3 each. - Both were too sugar sweet, the sweetness overpowered the flavor. - - Both melted too fast. Premium ice cream usually contains higher fat & melts slowly. - The chocolate had ice crystals! Absolutely a deal-breaker. - The miniature waffle cones were crunchy & tasty. 2nd visit: Took family for National Ice Cream Day because after 1st visit, preferred risking $2 a scoop instead of $6.25. - Both were too sugar sweet, the sweetness overpowered the flavor. - - Both melted too fast. - The lilikoi cream had ice crystals! With the description, expected vanilla & lilikoi flavors. It was lilikoi flavored ice cream that tasted like sugar. - The caramel mac nut had a good amount of diced mac nuts. The nuts didn't taste roasted or salted for contrast. The caramel tasted like sugar not caramel. The physical store is light & bright with seating. The service is friendly.

Malasadas are a popular Portuguese-style, hole-less donuts that are a must try while in Hawaii, brought by 19th-century plantation workers. They are deep-fried, pillowy dough balls--often coated in granulated sugar, cinnamon, or li hing mui (salty plum) powder--and typically filled with custard, haupia (coconut pudding), or guava. Next time I'm ordering 2 of each because Lordy these were so delicious and worth the wait in line !

I love Pipeline Bakeshops Malasadas! I have been to several Malasada places in Hawaii but | love…read morethere's the best for the following reasons: 1. the size of the malasadas: some restaurants tend to make their Malasadas smaller and when places do this it ruins the overall texture and quality of it. 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. I was having an issue with my online order because my phone was being glitchy and they were so nice in helping :) Also wanted to note their branding is so cute!! They even sell merch items too

Unspecific to this location, but I do wish that they gave the option of purchasing one singular mini. If you want a mini, you have to buy 3 for roughly $12. The calories add up to about 1 regular sized cookie, which would be half the price. Pick your poison I guess?

It's advertised as a sugar cookie not a shortbread. I've been baking for a long time and it's a very obvious difference between a shortbread and sugar cookie. The icing is also advertised as almond frosting but I was told by employees it was "vanilla icing with pink dye" The other cookies had very muted flavors and didn't taste very fresh. It seems crumble was having a bad day. You're better off getting cookies from Foodland in the same shopping center.

The…read morespace is beautiful, with plenty of outdoor seating and a peaceful atmosphere that's a nice escape from the busier parts of town. One of the best parts is being able to sit by the water and watch the boats come and go while enjoying your coffee. It feels calm and unhurried, making it a great spot to catch up with friends, get some work done, or simply enjoy a quiet morning. They also have an impressive pastry selection and a wide variety of drink options, so there's something for everyone. The service is consistently friendly and efficient as well. The staff are welcoming, and even when the café is busy, orders come out surprisingly quickly. Between the waterfront views, relaxing ambiance, great menu selection, and excellent service, Island Brew is definitely a place I'd recommend to both locals and visitors looking for a laid-back coffee shop experience. Come for the coffee, stay for the view.

We were fine waiting but waiting 30+ minutes and overhearing their credit card machine is down was infuriating. They were with 1 customer for like 10 minutes with 3 people standing around.

After 40 minutes waiting we left. Super disappointed since we had this place on our bucket list. But won't be coming back.

Refreshing beverage in Hawaii Kai, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I was so excited that there was a Teapresso Bar so close to where we were having lunch. I thought that I could enter the drawing for $500, but this location isn't linked to that promotion... darn! Located in a shared space with Loco Moco at Koko Marina Center, the lone woman at the counter was just okay. It was a bit noisy from the customers on the other side of the room, so she had to speak a bit louder. I figured that since I'm there - and we walked all the way across the parking lot - and around the corner to find this place, I should get something... because it was quite a warm October day... My order was a POG (passion orange guava) iced tea. The woman didn't ask me for my level of sweetness or amount of ice. She just made the standard. It was alright. I let the ice melt because it was a bit sweet. I saw the passion fruit seeds on the bottom of my cup which told me that it's pretty authentic. I'll stick with the other locations of Teapresso Bar where the service is friendlier; the location is more convenient; and the environment is calmer.
