    The Cookie Corner in Kaimuki Shopping Center long time shop next to Longs. You know they're baking cookies fresh by the delicious smells coming from the oven. It's hard to resist the temptation to buy one of everything. Our favorites are the Oatmeal with Raisins and the Chocolate Chip with Walnuts. Snicker Doodles are a close third. Counter service only.

    Da cookie selection.........

    I swear when I walk by "The Cookie Corner" cookie shop, the free smell of their delicious cookies is da BIG DRAW of this cookie shop!!! Every time I pass by this cookie shop in the Kaimuki Shopping Center, or the other cookie shop inside of Kahala Mall, trying to resist buying some cookies is so hard, because I know very well that the Cookie Corner make AMAZING cookies!!! Yeah, most folks know I'm da Custard Pie freak, but when a great cookie is available, I would never say no to a good cookie, and The CoOkIe CoRnEr certainly fits the bill!!! Ummmmmmmmmm! Today, while I was working at the Hawaii State Federal Credit Union, after leaving the credit union I had to pass by The Cookie Corner............BIG MISTAKE for me, as the intoxicating small just hooked me like a fish on a hook & liner! Aiyah! So as you can see my pic (the evidence)! Now the million dollar question is - How many did I buy? Or how many did I eat???? Buwahahahahaha! I will leave it to your imagination! If you like a good cookie, made fresh on site, support this local business and pick up some deeeeeeeeeeeeelicious cookies from The Cookie Corner!

    Can't go wrong for a afternoon snack at the Cookie Corner. I ordered lemon bars and chocolate chip bites I was already shopping at Kaimuki Longs and this Cookie Corner is located right next door so I couldn't resist. Sometimes I have a sweet tooth so it's ok to treat myself . Support local

    Whenever I'm in this shopping center to go to Long's, Times, or the credit union, I always have to stop at The Cookie Corner to get my cookie fix. The aroma of fresh baked cookies just gets me every time! The hardest part of coming here is deciding on what to get - do I get the bite-sized cookies, snickerdoodle, oatmeal, M&M, or ....???? My latest discovery here is the Peanut butter cookie with Reese's Peanut Butter cup, which is back for a limited time. It certainly is a match made in heaven.

    Geez, I've known The Cookie Corner (CC) for so many, many years now. Back in the 80's when they first opened in downtown Honolulu, I recall the addicting smell in the air that draws you in. Cookies are baked fresh on site all day so you need self control to walk past CC without purchasing anything. I used to work at Bishop Square in downtown Honolulu and had a hard time walking past CC not buying anything. No self control on my part! Located on the street level of Kaimuki Shopping Center just next to Long's, CC is a very small shop where the smell gets your attention. Now that I'm working in Kaimuki, I do my banking in this area and today just couldn't resist that smell in the air. After having lunch, I went to the bank to make a deposit and on the way back to my car I couldn't resist the smell of freshly baked cookies. To my delight and surprise, there was no one at CC so I walked up and checked out their cookies. As a personal favorite, I'm a huge fan of their chocolate chip cookies. But being that I work with some people who like nuts, I picked up a dozen chocolate chip cookies of with and without nuts to take back. As the female staff packaged the cookies up for me, I looked up and noticed their Hawaiian fruit bars, another favorite. Geez, this is getting expensive I told myself but I sure wasn't going to deprive myself. Wait a minute.....I have no self control! I also asked for the assortment pack of fruit bars. When I got back to the office to share my haul, many of my colleagues were thrilled with dessert time. Most of us had just eaten Popeye's chicken sandwiches for lunch so this sweet treat really hit the spot to offset the savory taste in our mouths. To my surprise, many of my colleagues chose the chocolate chip cookies with walnuts. I need to remember that for future purchases. BTW, credit cards accepted here. For parking, it's shared between the many businesses here at Kaimuki Shopping Center and it can get pretty hairy at times if you're looking for a stall on the street level. Hit or miss. Overall, I had a great shopping experience at CC with great product and great service. I'll be back for sure. 2019 #100

    Very overcharged for 5 chocolate chip cookies and 1 smore cookie.  Beware of being overcharged!!

    There is no denying Cookie Corner makes good cookies. They always seem to get me when I smell their cookies baking. But this last visit really got me angry and I should've checked the receipt before I walked away (that's my fault). I only noticed how over charged I was until I got home and looked at it. I ordered 5 regular chocolate chip cookies and 1 s'more cookie which is very large and was charged 27.20. Normally I can walk away with a good amount of cookies for under 20 dollars, but this time I was really ripped off. I don't think I will be returning to this location as I was obviously overcharged.

    Om nom nom... I am Cookie Monster personified. Well, that's actually my husband but I do love cookies as well. He is on this crazy diet since he wants to be all skinny... I know bad news bears for me but I don't care! Well at least not when it comes to smelling their heavenly cookies! I am a big fan of their mini cookies in the cup but I have gotten a few burnt oatmeal raisin cookies and they just left a bad taste in my mouth... literally. So I have switched to getting their cookie combo which is $3.29 for 2 cookies and any size drink. I love the coconut cookie and my husband loves their chocolate chip walnut ones... he loves walnuts! He's actually a healthy eater when he wants to be but then he's got this dark snack side that sometimes takes over... he says in the fat kid in him... call it what you will, but that means I always have a fat kid in me... sad face! The two cookie combo restricts us because then we can only get two cookies and I won't eat the whole cup of cookies... whoops! I have never had a problem with the people... I think it's because the smell of freshly baked cookies sets everyone in a good mood!! Don't steal all my coconut cookies please! I will go from happy cookie monster to Oscar the Grouch!

    Yay!! Fresh out of the oven..

Hubs had to fast from 6 am for his 2 pm surgery so I thought he would probably be starving and would enjoy a delectable salt and butter roll from here. At $4.50 a piece I consider this a luxury for us. I found a close stall in the parking structure. A very cheerful polite male employee took my order. I had seen two occupied tables as I walked into the shop. Both had matcha drinks. Why not? I asked the young man assisting me, what's the best matcha drink? He said his favorite was banana matcha with extra banana foam. Okay I'll try it. He repeated it to the cashier. So popular there was a wait for beverages to be prepared. Soon enough mine was ready. I think Doc would enjoy this drink. This shop is a working bakery. Many yummy pastries displayed. Menu is posted high up above to choose from. Rather tiny shop with room for customers to stand in line to order and wait for drinks. Clean, busy with a few tables and chairs outside but pretty much in direct sun.

It's possible some ingredients were locally sourced and just unfamiliar to our mainland palates, or maybe we simply caught them on an off day.

Sadly, it seemed more folks were there for the pastries though. First off, I'm surprised I found such a fabulous cup of coffee in what feels like the epicenter of tourist life on this island. While visiting another island nearly establishment had signage stating they served Kona and/or Hawaiian coffee, but nearly every establishment's coffee was absolutely awful. Seeing the location I fully expected them to phone in the coffee, but it's clear that coffee comes first here, even if many of the guests are trying to get pastries! You'll be shocked by the line, but just know the staff is efficient and it moves fast. They offer a variety of their own locally roasted beans here, with options for batch brew, espresso drinks and even pour overs (impressive considering the volume of customers). The coffees are well described and the baristas have the additional knowledge you may be seeking when you order, and all in all this went as quickly as I could have expected. Truly, the coffee was delightful, and the fact I was drinking a hot drink on an extremely hot day didn't even phase me. I wanted so badly to bring home a bag of each one, but given that everything is more expensive in Hawaii, these were all 4x the price of the specialty coffee I buy on the mainland and I just couldn't make it happen. What will happen is me telling everyone to visit this shop when they're in Hawaii because it is 100% worth it. Won't you consider opening one in Reno NV?

I'm so happy to have found them. I can back multiple times on my trip. They also have other desserts too that I have yet to try. They have ice cream, cakes, and other desserts Also tip: if you are ordering a malasada also order a coffee or a matcha drink to go with it. The cinnamon sugar from the malasada just matches so perfectly with a drink this restaurant is also a nice place for walking! There's lot of stores and restaurants to walk around!

However, there are many alternative malasada purveyors throughout Honolulu, so I depended on local vloggers to find the best ones. This one popped up often on YouTube, and as luck would have it, we were dining at The Pig & The Lady on the next block. How calorifically convenient. We took the opportunity to stop by for a pre-dinner snack since they closed at 6PM. It's a cute shop with multiple sweets including quite a selection of housemade ice cream and delectable mouthfuls called Cake Bombs (Photo 10). We decided we would be good and ordered one unfilled Malasada each. Dusted with various sugar flavors, they were just $2.65 a piece. I went for the Coffee, while Jamie chose the daily special, Cinnamon (Photo 6). They were soft and tasty, quite comparable to Leonard's albeit a tad smaller. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing since we had dinner ahead of us. However, we let temptation get the best of us and shared a $5.50 slice of the Ube Haupia Mac Nut Bar, a yummy combination of sweet potato and ube topped with haupia (coconut milk pudding) on a macadamia nut crust (Photo 9).
