I was getting shave ice at Matsumoto and grabbed a bag of Charmaine's cookies. My only regret is not opening them til I returned home (California.).

Stumbled on this bakeshop after dining at a different restaurant. We were there at 12pm and they…read moredidn't have much. The pastries were good though. We got onion hopia, guava manju, loaf of bread and hot dog. I really liked the hopia. It was a thin layer of bread and the hopia filling was stuffed. I liked that it was bite-sized. The guava manju was good too. It was moist and the breading was thin which is nice. Service was good. Prices were ok. Very, small bakeshop.

Happy 13th Anniversary BRUG Bakery!…read more The smell of the freshly baked goods. All pastries were $3 7/3/2026. Who couldn't pass up this opportunity?? I've always wanted to come the these anniversary specials. I was finally able to. I arrived at 8am the line long as expected. Shortly after one of their helpers came around and handed boxes out to put our pastries in. Which was nice to get in advance. They also went around and passed out ice cold water. My mission was to get a few jumbo (filled with a good amount of red bean my favorite.) and Hokkaido Anpan's which I did. It was freshly baked, warm and delicious! If you're an Anpan connoisseur. I highly recommend BRUGS Bakery. There was a limit of 12 pastries per person. I really was going to buy a few Anpan but since it took me 1 hour and 50 mins to get into the store. I did purchase the limit of 12 pastries. lol Okay... So would I do this again?? Probably not. BUT I will continue support & return for their Jumbo & Hokkaido Anpan's though out the year. Thank you BRUGS Bakery Pearlridge.

Options, flavoring, and prices are elite, but why is every damn thing so oily now? Not even greasy…read more Every single bite comes with a pool of straight oil in your mouth. Don't matter if it's a sweet or savory pastry. I don't like that. I'm seeing other reviews reflect the same experience, but I dont remember it always being like this for every pastry. Whoever in that kitchen or factory need to knock that off. Drink you some hot tea after this because you can get clogged arteries guarantee.

Came across Artisan Cottage Pink Sourdough Bakers at the Windward Mall Farmer's Market (Sunday)…read more Couldn't resist trying a loaf of their sourdough breads. On this day, these flavors were available: Artisan sourdough Kalamata Olive Spinach/Garlic/Onion Jalapeno/Cheese Honey/Molasses (I think?) Can't really go wrong with any of them, but best get there early if there's a particular flavor you're after - they were sold out of a couple by the time we wandered by. Located upstairs. Find them and support small businesses in Hawaii!

I love how Napoleon's Bakery has monthly specials!…read more From August 30 - October 3, 2021 their specials are strawberry gelatin cream pie ($14.35), orange chiffon tube cake ($7.75) and banana walnut coffee cake square ($2.40). Yesterday, I went on the Zippy's app and ordered the strawberry gelatin cream pie and 2 apple napples for my mom. It's super convenient to order through the app because I believe the pick up time is only 15 minutes from when the time you order. You can also choose what time you want to pick it up. Another tip I suggest is, if you don't want to order the whole pie and just want to have a slice. I think you can just buy it by the slice at either the restaurant side or at the counter. The strawberry pie is so wonderful! I think they used to have it on their permanent menu years ago, but maybe because it wasn't as popular, they took it out? That's what I'm assuming. I love jello and pie so this is the best of both worlds! The crust is a little buttery, and I think there is also a layer of chocolate, then it's filled with a custard cream, topped with a layer of strawberry jello and the edges has a whipped cream. OMG, so heavenly! I hope you'll try it and enjoy it as much as me.

I am updating this review so I'm hoping my earlier one-star review shows up as a corrected- starred…read morerating of this Napolean's Bakery. The one-star review started out because I purchased two bakery items: a donut and a cake and both items had foreign material in it: a hair on the donut and a plastic/nylon or other strand of scrub brush or equipment in the cake. I would have just let the hair on the donut go, because in all my years of eating, there has been a hair, here or there. I have found pretty disgusting things worse than hairs in my food, so I was ready to let it go, but then my son found what appeared to be a plastic strand in his cake, so it was time to take action. I didn't want to be out $16 for donuts and a cake we didn't want to eat. I called the Napolean's Bakery location in the evening and spoke to a really nice manager who was really apologetic about the whole thing. He was very sorry and offered me complimentary items for the hassle of having to come back to the store to return the items, but I said there was no need, I just wanted my money back. I told him I'd be coming back the next day with the items, so they can see for themselves what I've found (I took photos but decided to let Napolean Bakery figure it out, so I've taken them down voluntarily). The next day I took the products back to the same store and had to deal with different manager who was not well-versed in customer service. I won't go into detail here but let's say it was not a pleasant experience at all and I left feeling perturbed. I got an email from two managers asking me about my experience so I let them know what transpired, from the time I found the things in my baked products to the service I got, and they were concerned and addressed some of the problems. I knew then Zippy's/Napolean Bakery takes their Yelp reviews and things like this seriously. I'm upping my review rating here from a one-star (eeks! I think not!) to a three-star (A-OK) solely based on the fact that Napolean's Bakery reached out to me and they really were concerned. I would have thought a company so huge that has cornered the local market couldn't be concerned with just one complaint, but they do take all matters seriously and that's all right in my book.

I have never in my life been a fan of granola.. until Aloha Sunrise Granola!!…read more I was given 2 bags of the sunrise blend and a coconut blend and I demolished both bags in 2 days :/ and I didn't even eat it with anything- straight granola as a snack lol.

If and when they do, I'll be sure to update my post! And the BEST PART?! The company uses organic ingredients, never with preservatives! My daughter will be brought up on fruits, veggies, beans/lentils, nuts and Aloha Sunrise Granola! #supportlocal

We enjoy coming to the Pearlridge Farmers Market that is held on Saturdays starting at 8 AM and…read moreending at 12 Noon. This Farmers Market is not as large as others on island but, for us, we are drawn to several particular vendors. Like moths to lightbulbs, as soon as we come to the market, we head straight for the Baker Dudes tent. The Baker Dudes offer all sorts of breads and pastries. The yeast-risen breads have a doughy home made texture or perhaps even more like from a bread machine texture... dense, hearty with a nice chew. The range of baked goods include sourdough boules, quick breads, tropical fruit sweet breads, stuffed croissants, cookies, scones and even sticky buns. I think they even have a mobile oven that the "dudes" bake their products fresh on the premises. We've tried their sweet bread, two weeks in a row, starting with mango then cinnamon. This weekend, we even bought their mango stuffed turnovers which were buttery and flaky puff pastry triangles of pure Aloha. TIP: We arrived late, around 11:15-ish and were told that because it was so near to closing, they priced their pastries to go at 3/$5. Their sticky buns and stuffed croissants sell out quickly. They accept cash only and are reasonably priced. Service is congenial and efficient. Don't forget to bring your re-useable bags to put your goodies in as you roam the market. If you miss this vendor, don't worry... Baker Dudes are ALSO regular participants at the Kailua, Ward and Haleiwa Farmers Markets. They have recently added a brick and mortar shop in Downtown Honolulu on Alakea Street. #394
