A MUST-MUST TRY on the Big Island!…read more Patisserie Nanako absolutely blew me away. I literally had happy tears after my first bite - no joke! The vanilla fruit roll cake was so soft, airy, and perfectly balanced with fresh fruit... I actually got emotional eating it And the curry pan? Oh. My. God. Buttery and soft on the outside, perfectly savory inside -- just amazing. Everything here tastes like it's made with so much love and care. The ambience is cozy and simple with just a tiny bakery with a two tables -- but the service was incredible. Everyone was so patient and kind, and you can truly see the owner putting her heart and soul into every single item. They do sell out fast, so make sure you go early in the morning. If you're visiting the Big Island, don't miss this place, it's pure happiness in pastry form!

Come pick up your bread here!!…read more Very well-maintained, bakery very clean and employees are kind. All places to get a dessert after a meal you need to come pick up a cupcake from here. I love jalapeño bread and I usually come pick up some bread from here to make breads for some chowder.

I'm posting an updated photo of the current menu to help other visitors. That said, this place is definitely worth the stop. The coffee is great, the pastries are fresh, and the atmosphere has that relaxed Big Island local charm. It's the kind of spot where you can sit, sip your coffee, and just enjoy the slower pace of Waimea. Service was friendly and welcoming, and everything came out quickly. Perfect stop if you're exploring the Waimea area or in my case, heading to Hilo. Extra! You can order your iced drink with coffee flavored ice cubes for an additional charge of course :-)

The malasadas are great, fresh and lots of filling. I couldn't get over the AI generated menus…read morethough because it was....tacky. All the other menu items "looked" good and I ordered a coconut fruit water thinking it would be absolutely loaded with fruits but....it was extremely underwhelming. I think if you're gonna use AI generated photos you should at least make the actual product you hand paying customers, look like the photo. I got a huge cup of coconut water with 3 slices of kiwi, some blueberries and a couple slices of strawberry(she told me it would have pineapple but it didn't which was ironic because right across the malasada truck there's always the people selling fresh pineapple). The Dubai chocolate strawberry cup I tried on a different occasion was delicious but honestly that's an item that isn't complicated to make so I wasn't surprised. I also wanted an Açaí bowl but sadly they didn't have that available so I can't say much. Y'all should ditch the fancy drinks. Just sell water and canned juice along side with the real money makers, the MALASADAS. Also ditch the AI menu because at this point it's just false advertising for the photos to look so perfect and the product so underwhelming.

Hannah has this spot rocking and it's not just because of the traffic flying by that shakes the cart. She's patient, funny, and LOVES this work. The staff in there are working with a fryer, and it's hot. I could see sweat on Hannah's face. She still had a smile and was willing to chat. Great service all around! The new item is Dubai chocolate malasada! It's an added $7 more for this trendy treat. Hannah showed me the pistachio cream filling used and the type of chocolate bar with a thick layer of crispy bits, it's all imported. This is the legit stuff. Minimum Malasada purchase is three and you won't be disappointed if you have to eat more than planned. Hannah made sure I got napkins because she knew what was about to go down. I definitely got the holy trinity if haupia, guava, and lilikoi. It's a must! I tried it without a sugar dusting and I think I'll go back to the sugar, why not.

They have gluten free bread and the way they grill their grilled cheese sandwiches is next level. Even if the menu option doesn't come with tomato soup, I grab some anyways. There's nothin like dipping that cheesy toasty bread into tomato soup... oh and finishing it off with a tangy bite of a pickle and some kettle chips. Brings me back to childhood! The staff is always smiling and happy. And the location might as well be a slice of heaven.

We were clear on our…read morebudget, and she basically tried to increase it 80% - when we said we couldnt do it she said she would work with us. We agreed on a menu and asked for an estimate and contract for 4 months - 4 MONTHS OF HER SAYING THE CONTRACT WOULD COME OVER IN A WEEK OR 2!!! It was honestly crazy as we never called or emailed excessively. Maybe she was holding out for a bigger event or pay day, but all she did was waste a lot of time and put us in a scramble with a few months to go to figure our catering and cake. This review has nothing to do with her food, and everything to do with her professional business ethics.

No complaints but I just like my malasadas to be light, fluffy & airy. I can't have too much carbs these days. We usually get the original plain ones but they have some with flavored filling as well. They have a gift shop, my parents found some great shirts, with nice colors there. We liked it. They serve local food as well. Service is always good, served with Aloha Mahalo and Aloha!! Chelle

We finally got a chance to try the malasadas here…read more You know why it's called a drive in? You literally pull your car up to the drive up window. Of course you can pull the car around the corner, park the car, and walk over to the counter service. The malasada is square shaped. So heavy. We got a total of three. We brought them back to our resort. The bellhop recognizes the box, and says it like a loaf of bread. He was right. We had them the next day for breakfast. We didn't think there was enough filling for the size - we got strawberry, pineapple, and guava. We concluded we like the donut shaped malasadas more, like Leonard's on Oahu. These were ok. Our curiosity satisfied. They offer food items too like mix plates but we had already eaten. This place seems off the beaten path, but all the locals frequent it.
