Great place to stop for some dessert. I came here a couple of times after eating lunch at other restaurants. First time I ordered the cookie butter. The 2nd time was French Toast and Pink Velvet. All were delicious but cookie butter was my favorite between all of them. There something about the cookie butter flavor along with the crust. There are different flavors everyday. Good service and ambiance. read more

I am a big fan of desserts. Sometimes when I can ignore my conscience, I eat only a huge serving of dessert for a meal. (Like the time last week where I chowed down on two pieces of cheesecake from Cake Envy for lunch.) The cheesecake selection varies everyday and they have both common and unique flavors. So far I've tried the creme brulee (torched upon order), chocolate covered strawberry, churro, and salted caramel. What I love about the cheesecake here, is the texture. All of the ones I've had, are very light and fluffy like Japanese cheesecake (similar to the one at Panya). The chocolate covered strawberry was a bit more decadent and slightly heavier but still light compared to other cheesecake shops (Cheesecake Factory etc). The light texture is both good and bad for me. Good, because I have a new favorite cheesecake spot that I will sometimes daydream about, bad because I'm quite sure I could maul about half the cake and still want more. (But that's just me. I'm a monster.) The shop itself is tiny, but cute and clean. It's next to Soul de Cuba/Du Vin and across the Hawaii Theater on Bethel. $6 per slice is a bit pricey but worth it. If it's your first time there, I would bring a friend or two and share a few slices and get different flavors. read more

CAKE ENVY - Best Cheesecake's in Hawaii! After the first visit, we can't wait to try all! Salted Caramel, Luscious Lemon & Lilikoi Cheesecake Delish!!! read more

LOVE this place. In addition to a few charity events hosted here, I took my husband there for a slice of cheesecake on his birthday. It was sooooo good. The customer service was excellent, the customers all looked to be enjoying their time. I will definitely make this an annual treat - as cheesecake is my husband's fav dessert - and they always offer a great variety of flavors. The owner always goes out of her way to make sure her customers are happy! I've never been disappointed. read more

First time I came to cake envy, I was impressed with the amazing cheese cake!!!! Silky, so many flavors and when I left I felt I had paid a high price for a reason because the cheesecake was so dang delish! I also felt the personal touch when the owner packaged each of our pieces and provided great customer service. Second time I came back- everything was different. The girl behind the counter couldn't recommend anything because she didn't know what anything tasted like. Most disappointing- the pieces were very SMALL. Unfortunate because even the small piece was delish but I won't pay $6 for a tasting! read more

This is the BEST CHEESECAKE on the island IMHO. If you have a sweet tooth, you need to make it down here and check them out. I've tried so many of their cheesecakes, it'd be hard to tell you which is my favorite. They also have gelato. Of which, the whiskey flavored gelato is by far my favorite. They also do private parties... So who's ready for a cheesecake party!?! read more

I tried the white chocolate raspberry swirl for the first time last night and it was the best. read more

After a sad sad goodbye to Ottocake, I was left with a tiny little hole in my cheesecake loving heart. It was so close to home and I loved how hard he was trying to make it work out. But as the world moves on so do cheesecake shops and I stumbled upon Cake Envy! It was Fat Tuesday and everyone outside was running around trying to get ready for the festivities while I was trying to get out of Chinatown before the road closures. But this cute little shop caught my eye and I spontaneously ducked in with my Mommy in tow. The cake display was sparse since it was late in the day but I did manage to snag the last creme brûlée and strawberry silk slices. The creme brûlée has a deep egg-y flavor just like the real thing and the crisp sugar from the brûlée gave it a nice smoky finish. I really loved the strawberry silk because unlike other strawberry cheesecakes I've had in the past, they actually had a fresh strawberry taste to the cheesecake itself. Most places just slap some strawberries on regular cheesecake and call it strawberry cheesecake but they strawberry silk had a nice delicate tartness of fresh strawberries dancing on my tongue. Yes, at six bucks a pop these babies aren't cheap. In fact they're rather small. But these cakes are freshly made by local artisans. If you want a big ol' slab of cheesecake you can probably get it from your local supermarket bakery. You pay for what you get people. read more

Amy's cakes are so delicious! I love the fun decor of the shop. We had slices of Crème brûlée, Chocolate Chip Cookie dough, and Raspberry Swirl. They were all very flavorful and not overly sweet. Staff was cool and even brought us free water. Perfect night cap to cure our sweet tooth's. read more

The cheesecakes here are good ($6 each). But the hidden thing that is super good is their strawberry brownies. It is delicious! You have to come here and try them. The little place is cute and has chairs and tables if you wanna sit and eat your dessert or just have a little chat with a friend/co-worker. read more

You could try any dessert at Cake Envy and you will not be dissapointed! This is the best place to get desserts in the downtown area. The only drawback would be their timings, they close by 9 pm. read more

It's a cute nice gorgeous shop. The service is amazing and the coffee is splendid. One of the best coffee shops I've been all around the world. read more

I try to come here every other week to indulge in my sweet tooth and I've never been disappointed! I try to taste a different flavor every time I come too. My boyfriend, mom, dad, and sisters have all fallen in love with this place too! The Lilikoi is my favorite! read more

Cake Envy - Cramble a torch - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me

Decided to try the new place, because of all the great reviews. Tried a few different slices, lilikoi and strawberry chocolate. They where not as good as i though it would be, I have had much better in NY and Japan. I would just rate them average cheesecake and overpriced at $6.00 a slice. read more

Located right across the street of the Hawaii theatre a place for gelato and cakes where the flavours are fresh, handmade and local. The lillikoi is my favourite and it's a great place to cool off. They often partner with special nights at the theatre as a package deal. Service is friendly and fast. read more

Cute little place right on the corner in Chinatown. The cheesecake is listed on the menu as a "slice of heaven" and it is aptly named. Creamiest cheesecake I've ever had. Coupled with a nice spot of tea and this will be an excellent place to relax with a book with some alone time. read more

OMG that's good says the husband. And I look up, and it's gone. The creme brûlée cheesecake is that good. read more

Fabulous little place to stop for a cup of coffee and a sweet treat. Their gelato was delish. This evening, I chose the haupia cheesecake and a latte. Oh my! The cheesecake consistency was perfect. Not overly dense. And the flavor...on point. Just the right touch of sweetness. Absolutely coming back for more! read more

Cake Envy is by far and away the best chef of Cheesecake I've ever tasted from all over the world...and very affordable with exemplary and professional service. read more

We used cake Envy for our wedding cakes and we are so happy we did! They looked so beautiful and tasted even better! We had no leftovers, unfortunately, because everyone wanted to try all the flavors! Thanks Cake Envy for the delicious and beautiful cakes! -Jess & Thai read more

Such a cute little place... kind of reminds me of a bakery that you'd find in like Georgetown, in Washington, DC... if you've ever been there. Located right across from the Hawaii Theater in Downtown Honolulu, it's a dessert place specializing in cheesecakes. We tried the Heath Bar cheesecake. That was my favorite. Then there was the Elvis - I'll give you one guess what that was (bananas and peanut butter). And we tried Mexican Chocolate - a chocolate cinnamon twist. There were others and I realize women have a separate stomach for dessert always, but we did hit the max that night. But the atmosphere was cute, the owners are sweet... I would highly recommend coming here with your girls to cap off a girls night, or come here on a date night. read more

I ordered 4 cheesecakes for my wedding and they were AMAZING. I had never had one before, but I had heard they were awesome so I went for it. They did not dissapoint!! I ordered 4 different flavors and they were all wonderful. read more

Cheesecake is great and tasty! Slices are priced at $6 a slice and the size is about normal of a cake slice. A little on the expensive side though. read more

I've tried numerous cheesecakes from all over. This by far is the most silky, creamy cheesecake I've ever tasted! Not only are the cheesecakes wonderful, it just compliments the owner Amy! She's always cheerful, smiling and so passionate about what she does! It truly reflects in the amazing product she puts out. read more

The cheesecake is awesome, the owner is friendly and the staff is great. Where else can you find delicious cheesecake by the slice. I also order a Salted Carmel cheesecake for a special occasion, it was a hit. read more

Amazing Amazing Amazing! If cake envy doesn't already have a flavor you desire, just ask, and she will make it happen. My boyfriends favorite cake is carrot cake. Not only did she make a cheesecake that looks like carrot cake but it TASTES like carrot cake... and its cheesecake! Need I say more? I've had the white chocolate mac nut, lychee, death by chocolate, heath bar, key lime... all Amazing! WINNER! Lani Paet read more

Not too much to envy. Price is high for a kid size cake slice and presentation was not impressive. Smooth texture, small amount of passion fruit flavor, crust on the soggy side. Cake slice $6 is high for a 2-3 bite slice and the tip of the cake fell off prior to pickup since it was so small. Strawberry brownie the pits, raw in the middle and odd aftertaste. read more

This is my spot for cheesecake!!! Every cheesecake I have had here (about 8 different ones) was on point! I love NY style but this is up there with the best. I travel the world eating for a living. I seriously think this place will not disappoint you, if does your just a negative person who doesn't enjoy the finer gongs in life! Oahu is lucky to have this place! Mahalo to the staff for taking care of my cravings! read more

Gelato. Yum. No complaints here. They looked closed but were in fact open. Right across the street from Hawaii Theater so plan accordingly to allow gelato/cheesecake time with your entertainment. Don't get hit by car or get ticket while jaywalking :) read more

After hula my close friend and I wanted to catch up. Since where our halau met was right next to HPU campus we decided to wander down that area and ended up in Chinatown. I love how Chinatown reminds me of some of mainland "posh" rural bohemian areas but with Hawaii's flare. Our talks took us down to Cake Envy!! Who could resist the name and the decor was so inviting. Quaint and small but just the right atmosphere. What made it better the owner didn't have such a abundance of items to make us confuse and wonder what to get but enough for us to make our selection easy. I honestly liked that especially if as a customee new at the establishment. My dear friend selected a scoop of dragon fruit gelato and a slice of creme brulee cheesecake and I did green tea with double chocolate Jack Daniels. What can I say but the taste was heavenly!! You can tell they use quality ingredients. The owner even chit chatted with my friend when she commented on the quality of her pastry. Personable owner who tells us she bakes the items daily when needed was a extreme plus. It was a great place to sit down catch up with close friends and enjoy their homemade cheesecakes. A must try!! They also do custom paint glass events which my eye caught. read more

I darted across the street from the Honolulu Theater Center during intermission to finally try this place. It's the sort of place that you always see after having dinner or drinks in Chinatown, but it's already closed. So I suppose my recommendation would be to have later hours! I had a slice of creme brûlée cheesecake, a small kona coffee gelato, and a glass of pinot noir from an unknown vintner. The caramelizing torch ran out of fuel, so I had already finished the delicious gelato by the time the cheesecake made it out to me. The cheesecake didn't have a very thick crust of sugar in the middle, but got better towards the back. The cheesecake itself was delightful, and I don't have a hard time believing that they have the best on the island. The wine was difficult to taste over all the other sweet flavors. I was late getting back to the show, and the ushers gave me a disapproving look. Worth it. read more

If you haven't try Amy's cheese cake yet, you are missing a lot. Best cheese cake ever, I think the main ingredient is love and passion. Every cake is done to the perfection. Thank you Amy once again for giving your love to us:) read more
