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.

Should have been a red flag when the lady said there were ants in the char siu manapua so she didn't sell it to us. First time going to this location and will be the last.

Really yummy, fluffy treat!…read more Service was friendly and welcoming. Mav's is a one-trick pony, so no need for overthinking here. 1) Choose your quantity 2) Choose your flavor Cash and cards accepted. The cinnamon sugar flavor was delish! There were other flavors like some kinda special coconut/haupia blend (?) and Fruity Pebbles, but you can't go wrong with the classic. I had expectations about the donut texture, but boy, was I wrong. It wasn't like any cake or yeast donut... it was light, airy, and fluffy like a pillow! They were also a one-biter, so my dozen went bye-bye fairly quickly... haha! At first, I thought this would be one of those "try it once and move on" kind of spots, but I actually really enjoyed it and can totally see myself going back. The price could be a bit lower tho (they're tiny!), but I get it - mall rent, even for a kiosk, isn't cheap. Hope you love it! :)

Shoutout to Mav and their delicious mini-donuts!…read more This is one of the best donuts I've tried in a long while. The dough, friedness, and unique flavor coating is extremely delicious. I really liked their fruity pebbles flavoring. I appreciate how delicious they are and would definitely try again. They are almost cooked to order and are excellent. Their staff is kind and extremely friendly. Satisfy your sweet tooth and continue shopping.

Couldn't wait to dig in as you can see the difference in the cream cheese when you eat it right away, compared to eating it later on Memorial Day!" SERVICE: very friendly, fast, n' fully staffed INTERIOR: lots of prepackaged baked goods on racks n' desserts in fridge, order at counter after your number is called (be sure to pull a number ticket) EXTERIOR: located inside Seafood City, as you enter go to the right WAIT TIME: 5 mins for number to be called, less than 10 mins to receive order (Ube cheese pandesal was still being baked in the oven) PARKING: free lot OVERALL COMMENTS: the Ube cheese pandesal is my go-to, which are huge n' filling. A great breakfast or snack any time of the day. I also ended up getting more Ube pastries. The tutti frutti cinnamon roll for my kids bc I knew they would L.O.V.E. the rainbow fruity pebbles. The cream on top wasn't too sweet n' very light in texture, sorta like a whipped cream. The ensaymada was savory in flavor. The croissant was really good, had an almond paste inside n' on top. If you're looking for a wide variety of baked Filipino desserts n' pastries, this is the place to go!

I inhaled the ube pandesal but that ule Bulilit bread? MY KRYPTONITE! The ube jam had my skirt flipping. Ube pandesal is a popular Filipino purple yam bread roll, characterized by its soft, fluffy texture, vibrant purple color, and often filled with cheese and ube halaya (purple yam jam). It is made with flour, yeast, sugar, ube powder/extract, and milk, then coated in breadcrumbs and baked. I learned that ube Bulilit bread is a popular Filipino bite-sized, soft bread filled with sweet, purple yam (ube) jam, most commonly sold by Valerio's Tropical Bakeshop. These small, chewy, golden buns are known for their vibrant purple filling and are often enjoyed as a snack or dessert. They offer a subtle, creamy sweetness and are a staple in Filipino bakeries, particularly in Hawaii. This place is not safe. Had I been the one to enter this establishment, I would leave lighter in the wallet and definitely heavier in weight!

Recommended to be eaten right away for best tasting deliciousness of these Malasadas. Service: Stopped by on a Saturday morning, there was no line, just one other customer ahead of me. The ladies working were pleasant, quick and efficient with my order. I ordered 2 with sugar and 2 without sugar. Tips; - Cashless so be sure to have a debit card or credit card on hand. -When visiting Oahu definitely a must stop. Ambience: - No outdoor seating area, order & go. - Outdoor & ample parking. - Enjoy your Malasadas at your car.

It was a Thursday afternoon, and we mingled with the intrepid tourists who drove to Central O'ahu. This malasadamobile is permanently parked in food truck row. You can see it from the freeway. You can see Laverne's, the malasasamobile, Mountain Shave Ice, Thong's Thai, Taste Tea, Dick's Lechon, and ... the blood bank mobile. The truck ladies had to be sweltering but they were still nice. And it's always a happy atmosphere when you're about to get a box full of deep-fried, sugar rolled doughnuts. I stuck with the classic sugar but we also got some cinnamon sugar and stuffed (dobash and haupia) to share.

Thank goodness Dunkin' had AC, available seats to rest my feet, and a nice $6 meal deal to sweeten the experience even more. They have the cutest donut hearts right now. Water is $0.79 but worth it for the large cup they give out. I am grateful for Dunkin' more today than other days. I was sleep walking outside. I now have the energy to wait another hour. Let's go! This was actually my first time dining in. I usually go through the drive thru. I am pleased to share that there is a public restroom available for customers. You have to ask the employee for the key. They also have a nice selection of merchandise for sale!

My kids and I look forward to our morning coffee and donuts, and the staff here are some of the kindest people I have ever met. They always go above and beyond with their customer service, not just for me, but for my kids too. They even know my kids by name, which means so much to us and makes every visit feel personal and welcoming. People need to remember they are on an island and shipments come by boat. Yes, sometimes things run out or there's a wait because they are busy -- but I would gladly wait an extra 5 minutes for the correct order and genuine kindness. The team here works hard and it shows. I've worked in the restaurant industry before, and I think before leaving negative comments people should try putting themselves in the employees' shoes for a moment. These workers deal with long lines, busy mornings, shortages, and still continue showing kindness and patience every day. A little understanding and grace can go a long way. Thank you for making our mornings brighter and for making our time here feel a little more like home. We appreciate you all so much!
