She makes some of the best cakes. Period. Love her strawberry shortcake, but you really can't miss…read morewhen you try any of her cakes. Her baked goods are never overly sweet and pair perfectly with a cafe drink. What makes this concept so unique is that the bakery and cafe are both located in the same area. It just makes it that much easier to enjoy very delectable baked goods and drinks when you don't need to go very far. Service is always warm and friendly, and the owner is so kind and helpful. I always like to make my way here because the interior decoration is beautiful with live plants. It definitely gives a serene feel as if you're in a Ghibli film. Every time I come here I just feel so relaxed. 5 stars always and everyone should come visit at least once to sample their goods!

Such a gorgeous gorgeous cafe!!…read more Side note: It is two businesses in one shop. Cafe Lapin and CakeM. The drinks were not only good but look beautiful too! The fruit tart I had was not too sweet either which is perfect! Plenty of fruits, cream, and tart pastry ratio. 10/10 spectacular! The vibes here were also so calming. Great place to study or just chat with friends. There's a few seatings indoor but a lot more outside.

I was introduced to Epi-Ya when a coworker brought in their custard pie. I'm not ashamed to confess…read morethat I ate half of the pie over the course of two days. If it's in the shared fridge, it's fair game. Their custard pie is on the top of my list (followed by the custard pies from Napoleon and then Liliha). A basic staple that they also do a great job on is the bread. I really did not understand the hype of Japanese bread until I tried the bread at Epi-Ya. Their other pastries are just as good. They have a much larger variety than Brug and Okayama Kobo. The space is also larger and brighter than the other places.

It's been 3 years since my last review and visit here that I thought I'd update…read more The pastries here are just as good as when they first opened. I thought i'd just buy one or two pastries but i bought six. Yes all six just for me! For lunch i got a jalapeño cream cheese pastry and a cheese hot dog. Both were great, the jalapeño cream cheese pastry has jalapeños inside that are quite hot but blends w the cream cheese really well. I enjoyed it. I also got a hokkaido custard pastry which was nice, light and fluffy and not too sweet which I liked. I also enjoyed an ube pastry with an ube filling on the inside. I thought the chocolate chip bowl was interesting, powdered sugar fills the middle of the pastry so it looks like a bowl, this pastry was a little more dense and not as light. Lastly i got the cream cheese pastry with the round blobs of creme cheese on the top, a bit sweet with the sugar crystals but so good, Make sure to check the app, i had a buy one pastry and get one 50% off coupon. I love freshly baked pastries and loved my visit here.

But yesterday was the first time I bought their cake and man the Black Forest Cake was so delicious and not overly sweet per my in laws.

They also have their cafe sells beverage like milk tea and coffee.

I've been a fan of their original location since opening, but haven't gotten to try this one until…read morerecently. It originally opened as more of an Indian street food restaurant, but have since expanded to other dishes. It's a casual and convenient opening in 808 Center if you're nearby, on the first floor along the street. They have two tables outside and more inside, it's a simple place. They have a varied menu of Indian street foods like momo, roti, and dosa, plus curries, other breads, drinks, and rice dishes. We tried mostly vegetarian items like cauliflower in yellow curry, a daal dish, and veggie mom. The food is flavorful, curries include jasmine rice. Prices are reasonable for the size. It's worth stopping in if you're a fan of Indian food, or looking for something new and flavorful to try.

Kulu Kulu is a small bakery located on the second floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center. I noticed it…read morewhen I was eating malasadas one morning and saw a small girl carrying around the cutest slice of rainbow cake. I was too full at the moment to order more food, but I returned on my last evening in Oahu to order a slice of rainbow cake for myself. It was somewhat early in the evening -- probably around 6PM or so -- so the Royal Hawaiian Center food court was getting a little busy but there were still empty tables around. The bakery itself had a few people in line so I perused the display case for other desserts. They had quite a few interesting ones: lilikoi basque cheesecake, Diamond Head puff custard, ube cake. Unfortunately, my appetite is much smaller than it once was, but the cakes looked delicious and the people in front of me all ordered their cakes ahead of time, so they are quite in demand! The cashier took my order quickly and I was able to get a slice of rainbow cake, which had fluffy cream and moist layers of colorful cake. The flavor reminded me of fruity pebbles, but without being overly sweet the way children's cereal used to be. I really liked eating it because it didn't make me feel guilty eating a dessert. I hope I can return to Kulu Kulu sometime and try their other desserts a well!

This is the first time that I've been to this location across Ala Moana Shopping Center. The decor…read moreis chic and fancy. It's in the Renaissance Honolulu Hotel & Spa. I have been to their downtown location before. They pretty much sell the same items. I got a slice of rainbow cake $7.99, pastel de nata $4.69 and pain au chocolat $4.79. The rainbow cake was awesome. I could actually taste the different flavors for the different colored layers. The frosting was more of a whipped cream, so it wasn't overly sweet. The pastel de nata was a Portuguese egg tart. The crust was flaky, but the egg custard was so sweet. They overdid it with the sugar. The pain au chocolat was a chocolate danish. It was good, but didn't really stand out. They also sell drinks (coffee, tea, smoothies) and sandwiches. The workers were really polite and helpful.

First time at this location and I will be fair not to compare it to my favorite Chandler, AZ…read morelocation :-) Located inside the very nice Renaissance Hotel. Parking is a little challenging as it is with many places in Hawaii but my friend dropped me off and I ran in quickly. The male standing at the register was on his phone and barely acknowledged me while I stood at the counter...seriously! It is a small location but they still had some of the same favorites they have at the other PB locations. Percy made up for the service. Super sweet and super friendly! Give that girl a raise! She made up for the other worker's lack of service :-)

My original Lady M review is in Waikiki Tea because they are located inside. When you walk by on…read moreBeach Walk, you'll see a board saying Lady M with photos of their famous crepe cakes. The awning above will say Waikiki Tea. It's immediately after an open parking lot if you're walking or driving down the one way street. I'm not sure if you can park in there or not but I found loading zone parking so I parked there and walked over. When you enter, you'll see some indoor seating, the coffee prep area and a display case of some of their cakes. It's a cozy spot but clean and white. My most recent visit was to pick up a birthday cake for a friend. He's been talking about it so I figured it would be something nice to surprise him with. Hopefully he enjoys the surprise and is able to share the cake with all his loved ones. Due to the holidays, Lady M is busy and sells out so preordering is best. I was just extremely lucky they had a Signature cake available the day I called. The person on the phone took down my info and asked what time I was going to pick up the cake then put it on the side for me. Unfortunately, they don't hand write Happy Birthday on the cake but they did provide me a complimentary Happy Birthday cake topper which was nice. Overall great cake option for any occasion.

Lady M on Beach Walk in Waikiki! What a gem!!! It's a small cake boutique next to towering hotels…read moreso it can be said missed. It doesn't look much from the outside. They have 3 free parking stalls. You can also find street parking either on Beach Walk or Saratoga Road. I walked in and was greeted with a friendly smile. His name is Kevin. You will also see a wide selection of Royce Chocolates display on the right side of the wall and in front of you the glass display of the world's famous Mille Crêpes. Kevin helped us decide on our black box Royce Chocolates. It's a little pricey but the black quality of the chocolate is divinely melt in your mouth full of rich, creamy goodness and delicious chocolate!!! Royce' is famous for the Nama chocolates all the way from Japan. But guess what?! You don't need to fly to Japan to get your hands on them! Just drive yourself to Beach Walk in Waikiki and I guarantee you'll thank me for it!! Yup, you will! ;) We also picked up a few flavors of the Lady M Mille Crêpes. We got Amedei Chocolate, Pistachio, Chestnut and Tiramisu. Each layers of the cake is made with perfection!!! I paired mine with an ice caramel macchiato. It would probably taste better with a hot caramel macchiato but it was a little sunny so I opted for the ice drink. The coffee is also sooo good!!! It almost remind me of the coffee I had in France! I thought I'd never find a better caramel macchiato here in Honolulu than Starbucks! I was completely wrong! Kevin, thank you so much for making my first visit so memorable! You were kind with a friendly smile and lots of aloha!!! Come visit Lady M! Whether you come in for their world's famous Mille Crêpes, Royce' chocolates or meet Kevin, I know you'll love this place! Thank you for reading my review. Have a great week!!!

We asked our waiter for suggestions and he questioned us back like "suggestions for what" hahaha. After we were done with our main meals, he didn't offer us dessert and asked if we were ready to leave. We were a little thrown off by that and decided to close the check. The food is good though. No one has complaints about what they ordered. We sat outside which is nice and can be pretty but also can be hot. We weren't offered any fly fans so we were waving them away ourselves. It's really not bad here, but I'm not sure if I will return.

How do they end up on the opposite end of the spectrum? There is no quality control, I'm not sure how anyone in the kitchen let a pure brown steak that was ordered "medium rare" even leave the kitchen. Not to mention this steak salad was $20 when I first started ordering it 6 years ago, now it's $35.
