Bought a bag from a marketplace and these are the best cookies I've ever had. They are flaky and amazing and remind me of shortbread cookies. They make me so happy read more

Keith's Cookies - Cookies - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

First saw these cookies at Kualoa Ranch Market a week ago. Yesterday Doc brought a bag of their Lilikoi cookies home. She had bought a jar of Lilikoi Butter a few days ago and thought they'd go well with these cookies. First bite and we were both hooked. Can't just enjoy just one. The texture and taste is amazing. Today while we were at Foodland Farms in Pearl City we saw many more varieties of these cookies. We got 3 more different flavors. Once you try them, they may quickly become your favorites too. We like the Lilikoi cookie the best. read more

The Ka'u coffee cookies are amazing and addictive. The best coffee cookies I've had, seriously - the taste, the bits of coffee grinds, not too sweet, and the perfect texture of crunch and softness for a cookie. If you can get your hands on these, go for it. You won't regret it unless you don't like coffee or you don't like coffee flavored snacks besides coffee itself. read more

My shopping list to the island usually includes cookies, not your grocery store brand variety but local as in made and flavors. A trip to Long's/CVS will usually suffice but I've had difficulties finding particular flavors of a particular brand on more than one occasion. When we walked into Lin's seed store, I saw a shelf devoted to these cookies. Never buying cookies here, I was astonished by the variety (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=4L1kZj3sHJ9sGIGzCAaInw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). You know, being not local, I had to stock up to form a fair opinion. After bringing them home, I waited a couple of weeks in starting on them. The first one I tried was the pineapple shortbread cookies (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=c_P8OK5V4zyv3JVU1CljCg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); the cookies are crunchy and dry which makes for more crumbs. The flavor was okay and it wasn't overly sweet; the pineapple flavor was subtle. My next try was the chocolate chocolate chip cookies (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=XgHlvcGFfDrKaj1kaWBfjQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); being a bolder tasting one, I enjoyed this more and would say it pairs well with that cold glass of milk. As I finished those two, a few weeks later, I opened a bag of the poi & macadamia nut cookies (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=4bWBUWpTcK-8GtK8hs6vSQ&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). In case you don't know, poi is made from taro, slow cooked to a smooth consistency. Surprisingly, this was my 2nd favorite next to the chocolate as the subtle poi flavor piqued my interest more and more on every bite. The next one that I opened was the coconut short bread cookies (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=H6ScddSI-AlomwtbTjildA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); I also enjoyed this one but must caution you that it is on the buttery side, likely hence the short bread description. The coconut having its own butter likely added to the richness. That leaves the lilikoi one which I've yet to try so I may update this if it is something that wows me. Glad to learn of this local business making cookies and not in a mass produced manner. Good for gifting or sharing with family and friends. read more

Best cookies I've ever eaten; used to get them from the Army PX. Fav is still the cranberry oatmeal. So ono.

By far the best shortbread cookies I've enjoyed from Honolulu. Lots of different choices like coconut, almond, pineapple, taro, original, coffee. I always have to bring plenty back for myself and family. I go directly to the warehouse to pick them up. You can also find them at some stores. Try them, you will be hooked like me. I even order them online and have them shipped read more

We purchased Keith's chocolate chip cookies at the farmers market and really enjoyed them. We plan to order more in the near future . They were the best we had while in Honolulu. read more

OMG.. I rarely write about stuff in a plastic pouch purchased at a grocery store. I was in one of my most favorite stores (Kahala Mkt/Foodland) when an impulse buy triggered me to buy a bag of these Lilikoi Shortbread Cookies, made in Hawaii. I was actually looking for Lilikoi jam at the time. But to what really matters: Super crispy (my love), buttery, tangy and incredibly unique cookies. A total OT and the bag was empty soon. Nothing whatsoever even close to this cookie on the mainland. Serious cookies. For sure. I do not understand why people would buy Pepperidge Farm and Oreo junk when we have this local treasure available. read more

Found this booth at the kakaako farmers market & decided to try the chocolate chip mac nut cookies. Normally, my cookie texture preference is more of a soft, chewy cookie, but these were really tasty! The size of the cookies are the perfect size and there is a good amount of cookies in the bag. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a sweet, buttery, and flakey cookie! Can't wait to try more flavors next time :) read more

Keith's Cookies - Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Used to be our family's favorite! The customer service is very poor. It is taking over a month to get a refund on an order that they could not fulfill.The owner claims he couldn't refund my money back to my credit card, even though he could not fulfill my order. Says "check is in the mail" never came. After all the nonsense, I had to contact my credit card directly and file a claim. Like I said, poor customer service. No apology.. Didn't try to make it right. Lost our business. Buyer beware!! read more

I received a bag of Keith's Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies as a belated Mother's Day gift on Memorial Day. I didn't try any until the end of June. I really do not care for store bought cookies much less chocolate chip ones. However to my amazement, I really liked these because they were chocolaty, crunchy, and not overly sweet. I definitely recommend Keith's Cookies to anyone wanting a "just the right sweet snack" and have to purchase more since I ate them all. read more

Visited the KCC Farmer's Market and picked up bags for omiyage and to enjoy with others while visiting family. Loved all the flavors, are h cookies themselves are crunchy and yummy. Love apple bananas,and can't bring them back on the plane, but the apple bananas cookies are the next best thing! read more

My favor cookie here！ Not too sweet！crunchy and full of favor！！always ask friends to bring back～

We bought Keith's Cookies at the Kakaako farmers market this past Christmas. We bought them for our kids' daycare teachers for a holiday gift. The bags are a good size, and perfect for a gift! The cookies are very thick, and have a great bite to them. They are crunchy and buttery, and have good flavor- we had the pineapple shortbread and it had actual pieces of dried pineapple. read more

I bought some of his cookies randomly at the KCC Farmer's Market, and was pleasantly surprised. Cookies were on the dryer side and firm/crumbly. Great flavor. Wish I would have bought more :( read more

I recently purchased a 1/2 off certificate for Keith's cookies and since I had the day off I thought it would be a good opportunity to check the place out. Keith's cookies is the kind of straight from the factory place where you buy omiyagi for co workers. Parking: The parking lot entrance is located right before Chevron and when I went (around lunch time on a friday) the drive was was super packed with a bunch of construction looking trucks double parking. I eventually ended up parking on Gulick street and walking into the parking lot. Atmosphere: Your basically walking straight into the factory. Don't expect much. You basically have a counter with some jars and bags of cookies and a register. Service: I didn't have to wait to get help at all. Basically it looks like the main guy(maybe keith?) is the guy who works the register and everyone else cooks. I went on a friday mainly because i'm not sure what the hours is. The place totally seems like a M-F 7-4 kind of feel. Cost: So i'm not 100% sure what else they have but basically they have bags and jars of various cookies. The bags run $8.50 for 16oz and the jars go $11.50 for 22oz. This place does often have 1/2 off certificates(kitv deal center & tippr) so be sure to do a google search before you go. IF you do buy any of the 1/2 certs be sure to note that although the certs say that they are combinable Keith will only let you combine them if your buying a case(6 bags worth). Food: My initial plan was to buy a bag of cookies as a xmas gift. After letting it sit for an hour I couldn't resist but open the bags. The cookies were delicious. I choose the chocolate mac nut cookies. Be warned this short bread type cookies are pretty thick. Overall: I'm 100% satisfied with my purchase. Sure I got a 1/2 certificate from tippr which made my $8 bag of cookies turn into $5 but it was still good. When I went the selection wasn't super extensive but was good enough for me. Hopefully i'll have some will power and buy another bag as a xmas gift for the office. read more

5 stars for the mochiko shortbread cookies! actually had them years ago for the first time at the KC farmers market. I've been longing for them ever since then. Happened by Longs CVS while I was in Honolulu last week. Spied the cookie jar on the shelf and noticed a sale sign. Score! buttery, flavorful goodness. so happy my niece packed a few for the airplane ride home. I assume going to the factory is just as delightful. read more

I had a care package request for Keith's Cookies; not knowing where they were sold retail, I went down to the factory in Kalihi. There, I picked up the oatmeal cranberry pecan, chocolate chip macadamia, pineapple shortbread and mochiko shortbread -- some for myself despite the several prepackaged free samples I'd already been offered. Good overall -- in particular, I really liked the mochiko shortbread -- but not really worth the drive to seek out. Also, IMHO, oatmeal cookies should be chewy. And, if it takes a little effort to snap a cookie in half, then it shouldn't be as thick as most of the ones they make here. Probably, they're good for dipping, but I assume that was not intended. As such, I'm deducting a 1/2 star down from 3 and 1/2. read more

Disclosure: I have NOT been to the store, but I really want to go before I leave Honolulu! I tried the Mochiko Shortbread...UMMMMMM....HELLO!!!! DELISH! I LOVE shortbread...I didn't realize that shortbread cookies are everywhere here...goodness! I love that KC shortbread are so dense and thick. I put them in the freezer (because I love frozen cookies) and they were absolutely amazing! I didn't give KC 5 stars because I haven't been to the store, but I am definitely a fan! read more

Someone left a bag of KC macadamia nut cookies. They were excellent. The only bad thing is I chomped on pieces of what were dark (shell fragments) pieces that nearly cracked my teeth. it happened to both cookies and mad me chew in slow bites. Quality control the hard pieces and you have a big time cookie winner. Joe d. read more

Back again and Keith's Cookies is still at the top of my list. Recently got another round of Lilikoi, Mochiko and the Chocolate Kona Coffee sent to my home in NC and am using my opportunity of this second visit to have these yummies again. Lilikoi are my favorite so far. read more

Cookies: 5 stars. Love the texture and flavor. Customer service: -5 stars. I've had Keiths cookies before and loved eating them. When I was able to get my hands on the 1/2 off hot deals special, I thought I'd be a happy camper in cookie land. So not true. When we drove to the bakery/factory, there wasn't much signage and the hours were not posted. On our 3rd attempt, they were open. Yay!! That didn't last long. The tall asian man that was helping us was such a grouch. He actually yelled at us because I wanted to combine (which what was stated on the certificate). He slammed his drawers and anything that he could come in contact with. Just dumped my cookies on the counter and walked away, no smile, no thank you, no come again... Because of this incident, I stopped buying and eating Keith's cookies. This guy needs a huge lesson in the aloha spirit. read more

Buyer beware on half off deals. This business truly misleads customers intentionally, and on many different levels: -Internet prices and information do not state that in store purchases are.more expensive -Certificates can only be combined when purchasing cases...not specified on Groupon. Groupon states "certificates may be combined". -Online info. says they take credit cards...they only take cash at the store, but doesn't specify this either -Owner arrived 20 minutes late when opening the store..."Hawaiian time" -Certificates ONLY apply to bags and bottles of cookies, despite the fact that they have fundraiser and 16 oz. bags...again, not specified on Groupon' Shame on this owner. In this economy, many of us try to support local businesses, but Keith's Cookies has left a bitter taste in many customer's mouths. And here's the kicker: when I brought all these issues to Keith's attention, HE BLAMED GROUPON FOR MAKING THE MISTAKES. Word of advice for Keith: own the mistakes brother, and man up. Customers should not have to pay...IT'S YOUR BUSINESS!. read more

pros...once again, if i'm here then that means i'm in hawaii! great place to get some hawaiian style cookies. my dad loves these cookies, they have a special one, shortbread and rice flour macadamia cookies. just getting to the old hole in the wall place was fun. the smell was fantastic. they also have a wide variety of cookies to choose from. and when you speak to the lady you get the real pidgen speak of hawaii, yu no, yah? don't forget the samples, yah? deh give you a lot, yah? mahalo! cons...it was pretty far from where we were staying and it was in the not so nice part...less then paradise. they don't take credit cards so bring cash and lots of it, cause you will be buying all sorts of flavor, yah? read more

i recently went to the kakaako farmers market and his booth was there. i really enjoy cookies so i was excited to try these out. they are sooo good! and they are big and crunchy! i got the chocolate chip and macadamia and it did not disappoint. i'm trying to not go through the whole bag in one sitting lol. if i ever see his booth again, i'll definitely be buying more than one bag :)) read more

We love Keith's shortbread more than tourists' fave Honolulu Cookies. We got our first bag of Keith's cookies (Kona Delight Shortbread) from Dole's Plantation and we are now going to order some more online:) Among all flavors, I love the Kona Delight Shortbread most - it's flavorful and not too sweet - love it! read more

The cookies are quite o.k in taste, nothing spectacular and very buttery tasting so I guess they use a lot of butter (duh). Be forewarned about the types of cookies that are available when you walk into store. On the website they have ten or more types of cookies listed in many sizes but when you go to the store/factory you can only buy what they manufactured that day. They seem very unorganized and do not carry sufficient inventory. If the cookies that you planned on purchasing weren't made that day, you are out of luck. I suggest calling them ahead to make sure they have the flavor you want before driving up there. On the day we went there, they only had four types of cookies for sale and not even in all sizes. just the 8oz and 16oz for sale. customer service is another problem area. the elderly gentleman who works there seemed annoyed that we showed up to buy cookies. not a good experience overall but paying half price with a groupon lessened the pain. read more

My mom got me some of thse from Hawaii. I got the Oatmeal, Cranberries & Pecans cookies. I have a hard time stopping myself from eating them. Delicious. I'm sure it has a lot of calories but it doesn't taste overly sweet like some cookies, and the texture is good. read more
