Even if I hadn't tasted them side by side, I would have been so disappointed if I had bought this one on its own. $21 and it is mostly chocolate. The chocolate on the top and bottom is very thick and sweet. The filling is the worst. The kadaifi/kunefeh wasn't crispy like the bars that I had it was only slightly crispy. The major problem was that there was barely any pistachio spread. It was so DRY. Very stingy with the filling and spread. Not worth your time or money. I see that a lot of vendors were capitalizing off this viral food trend but don't do it if you can't do it right.

After satisfying my smoothing cravings at Hang's French Cafe & Smoothies which is right next door you know I had to give them a visit and as I walked in I just didn't expect to see so many options to neatly displayed at this cool shop. One wall is filled the snacks the local love and the easy grab and go does take care of cravings instantly along with some Pop Mart items though isn't quite the snack we sure have been eathing up the rave that's been keeping us guessing ourselves. Many of their items are crafted like specialty popcorn, Hawaiian Frost Soft Serve, Shaved Ice, and even açaí bowls. Keeping the coolness after my smoothie I decided on some dipping' dots as I stared into the display case with the various flavor offerings it was the "Cool Mint Crunch" oh yeah the minty coolness really hit the spot and bits of Oreo was so yummy as it kept me still for a moment as I enjoyed my treat before I continued on my errands taking this me time was just right. Thank you!

Fantastic little ice cream shop right next to Costco. Parking can sometimes be a challenge…read moredepending on the time of day but it's definitely worth the visit. You can even make it a pre-Costco shopping delight stop. The menu is always changing but it feels like there's always something delicious to be had. My favorite is the Rocky Road where they actually add marshmallows on top and toast it for you. The Buttah Cakes has also been a recent gem that we've tried lately and it's absolutely delicious. Since it's freshly made, it's rich, creamy, and even a little scoop goes a long way. They even make waffle cones in store if you want to spruce things up for your dessert experience. The staff are friendly and handle rushes of customers well for the size of the shop. We're lucky to have a great shop like this in central Oahu so you don't have to drive all the way to town for a great ice cream fix.

When I came here recently, I got a flight of different flavors. But unlike a previous visit, it…read morecame in a to-go type of dish. The cookie butter/biscoff flavor was delicious. The cookie and cream flavor and the coffee flavor were alright. During today's visit, the staff weren't even present. The shop was closed even though I was there during normal biz hours in the middle of the day. There was no signage indicating why they were closed. And when I called ahead, there was no answer or any message telling customers they were closed. They also didn't post anything on social media alerting guests that they'd be closed. Drove all the way here and left disappointed.

Such a great ice cream spot! The location was easy to find and street parking was easy as well…read morewhich is always a plus. They have a really fun selection of unique flavors. We tried their monthly specials, Matcha Oreo and Lemon Crunch Cake. Both were absolutely top tier, so delicious and honestly I wish I had gotten more! The staff was also super friendly and welcoming. One thing to note is that they don't offer samples, so you'll have to commit to your flavor choice, but the unique flavors make it worth the gamble. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

If you're looking for a delicious ice cream place with local flavors, you need to stop by and try…read moreSage Creamery! Getting there took us some time- A) my husband and I were driving from the Aiea area to Ewa Beach... on a Friday afternoon, and B) parking was a pain, but we were able to find street parking pretty quickly. We knew what we were getting into before our drive, and I'm so glad we did because it was well worth the trip! The ice cream shop is fairly small- can't hold a lot of people and no seating inside, but there's plenty of tables outside, and the weather outside was just perfect with some sun and a breeze! The line moves quickly, so ordering isn't a pain at all! I ordered their calamansi dreamsicle and my husband got their root beer float, and both were 10/10! I wish I had a bigger stomach so I could've tried more of their flavors (like their strawberry guava one)! First off, the calamansi dreamsicle was really refreshing and creamy; it had hints of citrus, with a lemon/orange taste, perfect for a warm summer afternoon! My husband had the root beer float, which had their house-made vanilla ice cream and root beer from Maui Brewing Company (I didn't even know they made root beer)! It was delicious as well- I loved that I was able to see little black specks of vanilla bean in the ice cream, and the root beer had hints of honey in it! My husband and I knew the root beer tasted different (in a good way), but couldn't put our finger on it until I read the ingredients and saw that honey was one of them! Super yummy!! All in all, my husband and I agreed that we'll be coming back again to try different flavors!

The Spanish bread is always fresh and hot, the rolls are always made day of, and there is always a large selection to choose from. The aunties at the front are always kind and have patience even when there is a line. Again, the location is small so be mindful of the space if there is a line.

At about 1 p.m. today, I stopped by Nanding's Bakery to buy the ube Spanish rolls. Unfortunately,…read morethey weren't hot or even warm, and the edges were slightly hard. I was hoping they would be fresher and softer, especially since I had just purchased them. I've been coming here for a long time and have never been disappointed before, so this experience was unusual. The flavor was okay, but the texture was disappointing. I hope next time I can get a fresher batch.

I love this place have great cupcakes. I became a cook cake fan years ago when I was dating a woman…read morewho was making cupcakes and brought me them on my first date some high-end very good cupcakes that's why I went out with her to be frankly honest . She now looks like she makes cupcakes, but it's one of the drawbacks I guess for being in that business is it can't be healthy surrounded by cupcakes. Never trust a fat chef as well as never trust a person in the health industry who's fat . But I digress - these are the best cupcake makers even better than she was, and she could make some hell of a cupcakes. If you're in the area, grab a coffee grab a cupcake. They're very good. They're very nice people as well.

I do kind of wish they just made a normal original tres leches cake because I know that's be gasssss too. It's in the fridge right by the cashier. I would always walk past it so I never thought to look. It's a super small bakery so you can't miss it. I feel like everything--the pastries and bread here are so top tier, it's hard to go wrong here. Treat yo'self and try something at Valerio's!

If you're looking for Filipino desserts and breads, this is the place to go! Take a number, grab your items, and pay when your number is called. Let the efficient workers know if you want something from the display case when it's your turn. It was crowded when I was there, but the line disappeared quickly! This is a popular place because it's neat, clean, and well-stocked with such a variety of choices! I narrowed down my selection to original and ube flavored pianono rolls. Finally, I chose original... it was so buttery, soft, and decadent! I liked the granulated sugar on the outside... it stayed crunchy! Next time, I'll get the ube flavor for comparison... LOL!

Non filled are the donuts that are rolled in cinnamon, the classic sugar, or lihing. Filling is all of that but with a custard, haupia, or chocolate filling.

Again my favorite is an Oreo drink even at this place lol. If asked nicely, they even let me rinse out my cup so I could collect and keep and take my cup home. In the end they were nice enough to just give me a new cup lol it was just too cute! I use it at home! It's got cute little panda ears and eyes.
