    Gluten free chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting
    Leslie A.

    Can't recommend this place enough! I placed a custom order for 1 dozen gluten free cupcakes for my daughter's birthday (the teacher is gluten free) and they turned out amazing! I could not taste the difference between GF and a regular cupcake. Tara, (whom I believe is the owner?) was so helpful and had really great customer service!

    Their front desk  so cute!!!

    Love love love the cupcakes they taste amazing. Service is always amazing as Tara is such a sweet human being. When you walk in the store you feel nothing but joy it's such a cute little shop and smells great. Such good vibes when you walk in

    I'm always looking for a really good cupcake, and Hawaii Cupcake Factory does it right. The cupcake is moist and delicious, and sometimes, you'll find some fun flavor combinations. I found this shop by accident. I was buying lunch at Streats of Aloha, which has great plate lunches. Hawaii Cupcake Factory is just next door. You'll find cake pops and cookies there too. Today, I got their red velvet and chocolate peanut butter cupcakes. Check out their stuffed cupcakes, too. There was a peanut butter and jelly that I will try another day! I have bought my friends a cupcake to brighten their day. It always brings a smile. The singles come in a cute box with a window. Who wouldn't like it?

    Complimentary, thank you

    Can I just walk in and buy a cupcake or do I have to preorder and buy a whole dozen?

    first of all, this is my favorite dietary friendly bakery and i'm SO GLAD they're back!! i've had…read moretheir cinnamon rolls, cookies, loafs, muffins... literally everything here tastes good. you need to try it! this last time i ordered a custom carrot cake and it ATE down! im still dreaming about it. the cake was perfectly dense, super moist, and the frosting?! actually unreal. i would eat it by the spoon if i could. and the gold flakes on top were STUNNING. it was giving luxury and beauty! it felt as special as it tasted. this bakery doesn't miss! everything is dietary/allergen-friendly but you'd never know because the flavor and texture is a 10/10. you can tell so much care and intention goes into every single item. highly, highly, highly recommend!

    Puʻuwai Bakery has been on my radar for a while because I was curious about their vegan offerings…read more I'm not vegan myself, but I do enjoy trying vegan options from time to time. When I learned they also make custom cakes, I decided to order one for a coworker's farewell. I needed a cake that was gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free. She can tolerate gluten and dairy with consequences later, but she has a severe nut allergy, so finding something safe for her was the top priority. I wanted to make sure she could finally enjoy a cake without worrying, since she's eaten other farewell cakes in the past, but suffered later. I reached out about two weeks in advance, and Franceska was incredibly kind and helpful throughout the process. Mondays are limited to custom cake pick-ups within a 2-2:30 pm window, and the day I went happened to coincide with a forecasted storm. I texted to confirm they'd still be open since other businesses were closing, and she reassured me they would be. The cake itself was adorable. The simple design and color palette were beautiful, and my coworker loved it. She chose chocolate ganache with lilikoi buttercream, and the lilikoi flavor was especially lovely; subtle but bright and balanced, and it really tied everything together. Texture-wise, the cake was a little drier than traditional cakes and had a slightly different aftertaste, but that's understandable given the dietary restrictions. It actually grew on me, and most importantly, my coworker was able to enjoy it safely and loved it. If you need desserts that accommodate dietary restrictions, especially vegan or allergen-friendly options, Puʻuwai Bakery is definitely worth considering.

    We have been coming here for years; food is always good, not great…read more We came on a Thursday morning around 9:30 am; and figured we wouldn't have to wait, oh, were we wrong, there were 10 people in front of us. The wait actually wasn't that bad, maybe 15 minutes. It is a typically diner, counter seatings only. The service wasn't great, but not rude; they take your order and they bring you the food; no pleasantries or small talks, I guess they need to turn the tables (counter seats) quickly. We had the loco moco with fried rice and hamburger steak with multi-grain rice and toss salad; they didn't offer a choice of dressing, but the default asian dressing was delicious. The food was good with very big portions; I had a hard time finishing my loco moco. They served it with lots of yummy brown gravy, the way it should be. My wife enjoyed her hamburger steak as well. Oh, don't forget to visit the bakery side after eating; they have many super yummy baked goodies!

    We ordered strawberry buttercream cupcakes and a banana Nutella buttercream cake, and everything…read morewas beyond incredible. The cupcakes were light, fluffy, and topped with the most deliciously smooth strawberry buttercream -- you could tell it was made with real flavor and care. The banana Nutella buttercream cake was the star of the show! Moist banana cake layered with rich, creamy Nutella buttercream that wasn't too heavy or overly sweet. Every bite was perfect. Beautiful presentation, amazing taste, and clearly made with love. We will definitely be ordering again! Thank you so so so much Cori!!!!!!

    Best decision ever!…read more Was going to Cori's cake dreams for my son's birthday cake. He asked for a difficult cake, thinking I would make it. I had to look for a professional. With a friend recommendation, I looked up Cori's Cake Dreams and I now know why it's called Cori's Cake dreams. Cori the incredibly sweet baker will literally make your cake dream reality! From design, to cake texture, to frosting flavor!!! WHAT?! Such talent!!! I've ordered and tried so many cakes and some looks good but overly sweet or the cakes dry or some looks so basic but taste amazing. BUT HERE... the cake looked AMAZING AND TASTED EVEN MORE AMAZING!!! I seriously couldn't believe it. We were party host and we packed our own cake to take home. Lol. YESSS THAT GOOD. What makes ordering a cake from Cori's Cake Dreams, even better... you don't just get amazingly beautiful cakes that taste just as good as it looks. But you also get an amazingly nice baker that takes pride in her work and has such a sweet soul. Thank you Cori for being an amazing person and baker!

    Pretty good boba spot! This shop is located along N King St in a small plaza with a shaved ice spot…read morenext door. You can generally find parking in the lot or nearby on the street (metered). The inside of the shop is relatively spacious with seating throughout; it can get a bit busy in the afternoons after school finishes. I ordered the mochi taro milk with boba and no sugar. The staff member helping me was polite, and my order came out quickly. I really liked my drink! The mochi layer had a soft, pleasing mouthfeel, and the boba was nice and chewy. The taro drink was creamy and not too sweet either, pairing really well with the mochi. Would definitely be interested in coming back to get the other drinks on their menu!

    I'm not sure when this place changed owners, but I've been to this little shopping plaza before and…read moregot boba one time, but I think it's a different owner now. The parking lot was pretty empty on a weekday afternoon and there was only one person working. I really appreciated that they offered some snacks as well as their pretty extensive drink menu. There are so many boba places I would frequent more often if they also offered snacks. Uni offers cup noodle, freshly make bubble waffles, takoyaki and curry with rice! They even have combos that will save you a couple dollars if you get a milk tea with the food. Genius. I got the takoyaki and mixed fruit tea combo for $13. It doesn't sound like a deal, but I end up paying way more and wasting time going to two different stores when I want food and tea. The takoyaki was piping hot, piled with toppings and served in a little box that was really convenient for take out. The fruit tea was one of the better fruit teas I've had. I like that it had chunks of oranges and watermelon. The service was a little slow because there was only one worker, but she was really nice and trying her best. I think I'll be back if I'm in the area. They have cute looking desserts too! And plenty of places to sit with free wifi!

    I've decided to update my review on Elvin's when I was caught in a bind and they came through…read more However, it wasn't all cherries. You see, last Christmas I gave you my heart and the very next day, you gave it away. This year, to save me from tears........no, no. This never happened to me but Wham's "Last Christmas" which was written by George Michael, is overly played during the holidays in Japan. On a serious note, last Christmas I was jonesing for a yule log. I saw posts on IG and when I attempted to order one at a bakery on S King St, I was advised it was too late. At a Japanese themed bakery I was offered the option of a Christmas cake but wasn't in a mood for strawberry shortcake. I was on a mission. I recall attending a Christmas dinner at my cousin's a few years back where someone brought Yule logs and found that they were from Elvin's Bakery (EB). I also did a search on EB's photo gallery and saw one posted so I gave them a call. Placing an order via telephone was literally a piece of cake. It was confirmed to a tee and was also advised their closing on Christmas Day so pick up would be on Christmas Eve. I made payment over the phone. All done. The Yule log was a hit at Christmas dinner where it was visually stunning and tasty. It was not overly sweet nor dry. Well executed and decorated beautifully. So why not 5-stars? Picking it up was a shocker when the Yule log was placed in a cake box that clearly was meant for a 1/2 sheet cake (?) size so you had to be extra careful when transporting and storing. There was no support nor fillers in the box for the quite empty box as the Yule log was not meant for the box provided. In closing, I'm grateful EB came through with an amazing dessert for our holiday dinner but was caught off guard with their boxing. I'll need to think twice about ordering a Yule log again from them and will definitely order earlier and seek the options on Oahu before deciding on where to go.
