Every time I come to MOSA, I have an amazing experience. From the desserts and the atmosphere to…read morethe outstanding customer service, everything is always top-notch. Honestly, whenever I see a review that's 4 stars or lower I genuinely don't understand why. The entire staff is trained to provide exceptional service and even the owners take the time to check in with customers to make sure they're enjoying their visit. It's clear that they truly care about both their product and their guests. If you're looking for a dessert spot with incredible service, delicious desserts, and great vibes, MOSA is the place to be. If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!

I needed coffee as well so I got a large iced americano with whole milk and it was unexpectedly good, at least for me, it was strong and flavorful. I love chocolate and didn't like the dobash flavor. It was busy on a weekday afternoon but if you have someone with you they can drop you off to stand in line while they wait or find parking. There was a line and wait but not more than 30 mins. I had some great pics but lost them when my phone broke. Mahalo and Aloha!! Chelle

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

Haven't tried their other offerings, but will do so next time. Good location in Kaimuki, around other shops and restaurants. It is clean and bright inside. There isn't really anywhere to sit in the shop to eat, so you'll have to take it to go.

If you're looking for a refreshing dessert that's not too sweet or heavy, you need to get yourself…read morea Korean Bingsu (shave ice) at Jejubing! The restaurant is located near the Ala Moana Food Court so you can get yourself a savory meal then head here right after. They have a nice selection of Korean Bingsu and Drinks but the Bingsu is what keeps everyone coming back. Don't let it's simple look fool you. The ice is super fine and creamy. You'll receive a small cup of Condensed Milk to drizzle throughout as you devour it. Make sure you don't drizzle it all at once. Popular flavors are Strawberry, Mango, Oreo and Injeolmi (roasted soybean powder) but I must say, the Mixed Berries is gonna be on my top choices from now on! I've tried watermelon too in times past and that's also a refreshing choice. The Bingsu includes slivered almonds and some whipped cream. They have a small size that could be good for 1-2 people but we got a large and it fed 4 of us ladies. Make sure you stop here before you leave Ala Moana and treat yourself!

It's just outside the food court at the Ala Moana mall, which is huge!…read more It was a hot day so bring inside and sitting at a real table in a clean air conditioned cafe was nice! We ordered the mango ice and the injeomi Korean bing. The mango one was delicious with lots of mango topping, almond slivers and whipped cream. The injeomi is basically a powdered peanut powder topped with red bean and a few mochi. The ice is light and fluffy and because the cafe is already air conditioned, the snow barely melted! Both are tasty but the toppings are on the skimpy side. There is a light dusting of the jeomi in the middle of the ice but just barely. I was hoping there would also be some more red bean and mochi too. Same with the mango one, the whip cream helps keep it all moist but it would also be nice to have more fruit in the center as there wasn't any. Otherwise Sulbing in Vancouver! They're the best with a scoop of ice cream in the center and topped generously with your chosen toppings!

Truly one of the highlights of our entire trip. The cocktails and dessert were incredible easily…read moresome of the best we had in Hawai'i. We ordered the Matcha Old Fashioned and Sencha Gin Soda, and both were so beautifully balanced. The Matcha Old Fashioned in particular was genuinely one of the best cocktails I've had in my life. Creative and unique without being overly sweet or having any one flavor overpower the others. For dessert, we had the Matcha Anmitsu, and WOW. The matcha flavor actually came through rich and complex while still feeling light and balanced. On top of the food and drinks, the ambiance was amazing and the service was excellent. Everything felt thoughtful and intentional from start to finish. An absolute must if you appreciate matcha, Japanese flavors, or a really well-made cocktail. A million out of 10 would recommend and until then ima dream about coming back.

The owner now serves unique alcoholic tea libations, handmade Japanese sweets inspired gelato flavors and traditional Japanese anmitsu desserts alongside loose leaf tea offerings. The matcha lattes here are amazing but I love their hojicha latte even more with its earthy but well balanced flavors. Hands down my favorite tea shop of all time in Hawaii, and also what inspired my own tea hobby/journey through the years. Highly recommend this place to anyone who loves ice cream, lattes, teas, or all-of-the-above!

I've been going to Waiola Shave Ice since I was a child, so it's extra special that I now get to…read morebring my own children here every time we visit Oahu. It's one of those places that brings back so many childhood memories and never disappoints. The shave ice is so smooth and fluffy, and I love that they offer Keiki (kids) sizes--the perfect amount for little ones. My kids always look forward to getting their shave ice when we're on the island. There's street parking available, plus a parking lot to the right of the shave ice shop, which makes stopping by pretty convenient. There are also benches where you can sit and enjoy your shave ice, although there aren't any tables. If you're visiting Oahu, definitely add Waiola Shave Ice to your list. It's a must for our family every time we're back.

I've been wanting to come here for months! I finally had the opportunity to! I'm so happy I did!…read moreThere was so much to choose from-pastries and drinks! My hubby missed out! Great excuse to go again! There was a line, but it moved quickly. You could tell which items were popular cuz their spot was empty. However, they were quickly replaced. Everything was delicious!!! I did bring some items to share with coworkers. I bought my breakfast and lunch from this quaint bakery. It took me back to my visit to Japan! Loved it! Will definitely be back!!!

I needed to occupy myself after I dropped hubs off for his first cataract surgery…read more After doing some retail therapy at NR I had half an hour to spare. 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.

I tried their brand new item the Tofu Black Sesame Frappe. Wow! It was so delicious! I also did not…read morefeel bad drinking it after running because it had so much protein from the tofu which is what it's made out of. The tofu on the bottom made it similar to a coffee jelly drink with tofu as well as the strong hints of black sesame throughout the drink. I highly recommend trying it if you want to drink something that doesn't make you feel guilty after! Also to note I felt so full after drinking this drink LOL! That Tofu packed on a lot of protein and kept me full felt really energized after as well! Their bubble waffle is forever my favorite with a perfect crunchy outer and fluffy inner. I only go here for bubble waffles. Ambiance is so clean, bright, and cute. It definitely reminds me of a cute cafe you'd find in Korea! Definitely stop by :) it's one of my favorite cafes to visit.

Second visit and a bit disappointing…read more This afternoon was so hot...it felt nice to enter this small cafe...with it's A/C turned up. On Kapahulu and Campbell Avenue's - across from Zippy's Requested their Iced Spanish Latte...and like the men's Spanish national team in this Summer's World Cup...it was slightly above average. I didn't really taste the espresso; and I can't say I tasted the condensed milk. Rating it at 5.5.

Sad to find out Ice Monster closed permanently and we began a search for a new replacement…read more Frostcity is the winner! We ordered the combo watermelon/lychee and the mango shaved ice. Both options come with fruit and mochi as standard offerings. Compared to the Hawaiian shaved ice, the Asian shaved ice was so soft and flavorful without being too sweet. Quick note re location: It's a bit of a drive since it's not at Waikiki. But Waikiki can be annoyingly crowded and over priced. For those who have access to a car or can uber over, it's worth it!

Cute decorations. I have tried their shave ice and it was good. I came back to try their mango pomelo sago and sesame mochi balls ginger soup. The mango pomelo is like the drink but in a bowl. Not too sweet. Very good. The sesame mochi balls were amazing, smooth and sweet! Perfect pairing with the ginger soup that was warm and spicy. Love it here! Great for group hangouts or a quick grab and go dessert.

Came here around 11 and they were already out of a lot of flavors…read more We were lucky to get the mango though! Wanted to try strawberry. The mango mochi is for sure worth all the rave. It was the perfect bite of mochi and the mango was sweet and fresh. Service was friendly and fast despite the line out the door. It's very small inside and can only fit about 10 people at a time.

Kept seeing these random posts on IG regarding the mango mochi w/lima bean from Kansai Yamato…read more Stopped by shortly after we landed and to our surprise, they were sold out. We did however, snag the last 2 mango w/ whipped cream mochi along some other red bean mochi. 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.
