    Why don't more pastry bars exist??? Can we open more please? Asking for a friend. They have a bistro menu for lunch & dinner comprised of sandwiches, curry, pizza, pastas, etc. BUTTT the star of the show had to be all the pastries & baked goods. We spent about 10 minutes trying to decide which ones to get. Everything looked so so so delectable. We ended up getting a fruit tart, guava cake, and chestnut mousse. My fav was the tart-- perfectly fresh, flaky, and sweet. Definitely need to come back to try another assortment!

    I am sad to give 3 stars review as food was good although it took awhile. My entree was Crying belly. There was more of starch than protein. Tiny pyramid, chocolate mousse, was good. We got another dessert but it tasted old. The service and ambiance were just not there. I like to believe maybe we came here on a wrong evening. I book marked this place a long time but the location is kind of out of the way. It's located across from Liliha Bakery in two story building full of home interior stores like Abbey's Carpet. They have extensive desserts on display inside the restaurant but all the sittings are outside, open air but covered. With that said, if you don't mind the plastic smell from all the interior home interior stores you might like this place. It's quiet and peaceful. Parking is free.

    Showcase of desserts. With Chef

    Great hidden treasure. Parking no problem. Amazing array of desserts! Nice variety of dishes. Thai, French, Italian and more! The chef is very personable. My sister and I enjoyed every bite.

    A find at the Tiny Pyramid... With so many places to see and experience Tiny Pyramid was one place that I had yet to try and it's probably seeing many seafood (allergic) on their menu that I haven't given them a chance though yes they do have several other options the choices are quite limited. On this day it was for a relaxing dessert time and after seeing all the various treats it was the perfect time to give them a peek and as they're located in the Nā Lama Kukui which is just before City Mill has lots of parking it was easy to find...much easier than my choices of desserts. As I entered the shop I wasn't prepared to see so many various desserts in their display case from the classic red velvet to the famous Chocolate Pyramid as each dessert done so beautifully so artful and each different in flavor I'm very impressed with the choices though sadly the rest of the shop is like an afterthought with a huge Grab N Go and Sip pricing signs though I'm sure all was great it didn't do much for me as the vibe was meh. I decided on a Lilikoi Iced Tea and Banana Haupia which I just couldn't resist to which we pay first and suggest cash or debit as they charge 3% for credit card transactions we then sat outside as the staff was to bring our orders to us and my tea was in a mason jar is a nice and very refreshing sip on this hot afternoon was very much needed and the Banana Haupia was a very very light and airy bite could I taste the banana...honestly not really but it was yummy and I thoroughly enjoyed it all as to just sip and relax was very nice and comforting. Thank you!

    Half and crab cake sandwich and salad! The dressing is bomb.

    Omg omg, this place is wonderful!! This is a hidden little sweet place that has a great food and amazing sweets. My only real complaint and it's not a bad one, I thought my cappuccino wasn't the best. Tasted more like an instant taste, but this could be a me issue. We ordered the strawberry shortcake, the tiny chocolate pyramid a cappuccino and a crab cake sandwich with an accompanying salad. $42 Service was fast and the lady working was kind and helpful and so nice. This place is hidden in a strip mall area. So you park and walk inside the mall. Its shaded and cool and adorable and has ample seating.

    Interesting menu with Asian fusion items and a wide selection of desserts to choose from behind a glass case. The location is pretty interesting, inside a business plaza with home furnishing stores, show rooms, interior design stuff, piano planet, a ballet academy, etc. and then there's a restaurant with tables outside in the hallway. We didn't think there would be people on a Wednesday night but we're wrong! Few tables were already occupied when we got there and more people were arriving after us! A lot of interesting things on the menu, so we decided to do the 4 course meal. They got a lot of lobster offerings so it's definitely tempting to just choose everything lobster. We almost did but didn't! We got two 4-course meals - lobster pad thai, poached lobster with fettuccine, soft shell crab, baked oysters, cream of corn soup and desserts from the glass case (azuki, le café and chocolate pyramid). The lobster was cooked well without being rubbery and was seasoned well too. Not the best lobster, but quite decent. The taste of the pad Thai was good, but the tofu wasn't very fresh. I wish the sauce on the fettuccine was a little thicker and creamier, it's almost like a milky sauce. The soft shell crab was just one piece and it was small. I think we got it because it's something other than lobster. The oysters were tiny after they're cooked and it was just mayo on top, it could use some garnish? The star of the show was definitely the cream of corn soup. So good!!! I could eat 2 bowls of those. I also enjoyed their famous chocolate pyramid. It's like a thick mousse with cocoa powder on top. The cake part of their desserts was a bit dry. Overall I enjoyed the meal. Their menu has other interesting items I wanna try so I think I'll come back!

    Tiramisu cranberry oat meal cookies
    Star Y.

    Tiramisu was ok, tiny n lacking coffee taste. Cranberry oat meal cookies were super bland didn't have any cranberries in any of the cookies 2 of 5 that I ate. I didn't get to try there regular food only rested dessert from Uber Eats

    Fruit Tart
    Meesh T.

    I always come here for desserts and they have never disappointed my taste buds. I called last minute for a full-sized fruit tart and chef held it for me to come by after hours since he was working late. What customer service! The fruit tart itself was a beautiful work of art and delicious! Now that I'm writing this review I want to go down there and get another one. It was so good! Highly recommended!

    Fettuccine with chicken
    Karen S.

    Artful presentation of delectable foods await you, including a plethora of eye catching and delicious desserts! We enjoyed attentive service (note: our server even asked the chef for milder sauce - without my asking for it - and came back to ask if I'd prefer switching my order back), well-filled water glasses, a terrific looking menu (sorry, no photos), and perfectly simple airplant table decorations that looked so real my colleague tried to confirm it by touch. Table service is directly outside of the dessert store, while servers place their main orders through a window. The "mall" has many small stores, but the spacious walkway means no one is "in your dining space". Our office staff ordered curries and fettuccine dishes, and I ordered the Fisherman's pot pie. Everyone enjoyed their entrees! Naturally, dessert here is a must! I tried to attach a video of all the gorgeous hand made desserts they offer in the refrigerated case, including packaged cookies to go, which are displayed against the ewa wall. However, there are so many I couldn't trim it for posting;( Our staff had Le cafe (coffee mousse), a tiny pyramid (dark chocolate dusted mousse), raspberry/pistachio torte, fruit basket, azuki haupia, and chocolate macadamia torte. Wow! (Our server hand made each coffee that was ordered to complement the desserts.) They ask you to check your bill for errors, and they quickly rectified one for us. I personally can't wait to return and try another entree and dessert!

    Signature chocolate pyramid

    Lovely... I had forgotten how lovely Tiny Pyramid is especially on a Sunday. Sat down with my forever friends and was greeted by the warmest and attentive waitress (I forgot to get her name). On Sunday, it's bit calmer and you feel like you have the whole place to yourself. The place is clean and open with a few tables so I recommend reservations especially on busy days. Food here is a work of art with delicious cuisine and an array of amazing artisan desserts. We opted for the four course meal with the first choice between garden green salad or a nice bowl of corn chowder which was delicate and lovely. Next the appetizers section had many choices. Some of chose the escargot and others selected the lobster which was nice and yet filling. The third course was the main dishes. An array of amazing choices- I chose the opakapaka which was served with a steamed baby bok and creamy fettuccine while my friends ordered their signature deconstructed fisherman's pot pie. Fourth and last course (Thank goodness I saved room for their abundant and lovely desserts)- like the mango peach and my friends chose the strawberry cheese and Signature light and airy chocolate pyramid...

    Seating is outdoors, so be aware of flies. Ambiance is pretty nice here, lighting is great for this little place with background music playing. We came here for lunch and ordered a few items. Lao roll - this is good. Flavor of the curry chicken with the dressing of the salad goes well with both. Would recommend. J'jun curry with chicken - if you like spicy, then this is for you. Flavors of the curry is good. The curry is buttery tasting with heat. Would recommend. Green curry - same as the J'jun curry but not as spicy. Flavor is good as well. Would recommend. Thai Thai noodles - there was no flavor in this. Not like other Thai restaurants where there is some spice to it. We had to ask for sirracha to make it taste a bit better. Would not recommend. Overall, service is pretty decent here. We did have to request for more water tho. Other than that, would highly recommend this place to grab some deserts and lunch, since their hours of operation for lunch is from 11 to 3PM. But they are usually open till 9PM.

    Tiny Pyramid is a wonderful culinary experience. Casual dining at lunch. We enjoyed the soft shelled crab appetizer ($15), J Jun Curry with chicken ($18), and the cream of corn soup ($5), in the outdoor dining area. I also ordered a few desserts to go. I throughly enjoyed the soft shelled crab, salad, and cream of corn soup. The curry was flavorful and spicy. Food overall: 4/5 stars Service was great and friendly here. I was fortunate to meet Chef JJ and Keo Luangkhot. Both are personable and they answered any questions I had about the menu and desserts. 5/5 stars Tiny Pyramid is located in the Na Lama Kukui Center (Old Pacific Gentry Center). Free parking for the restaurant is located in the Center. Bathrooms are located in the building and you will need a code to gain entrance.

Every morning, without fail, people gathered outside waiting patiently for pastries. No flashy signs. No gimmicks. Just quiet consistency. That alone intrigued me. By the second day, my mind was made up. I'm an early riser, so the plan was simple: go on my usual morning run and arrive before the rush. Japanese culture and craftsmanship have long fascinated me. Through close friends with family roots tracing back to Japan, I've developed a deep appreciation for the culture -- the discipline, the rituals, the precision, and the respect for process. There's a beauty in the intentional pace at which things are done. Nothing rushed. Nothing careless. This bakery embodied that philosophy perfectly. The space itself was small, modest, and aromatic. No overdesigned interiors. No influencer bait. Just the comforting smell of fresh bread and butter hanging in the air. Some bakeries hide behind elaborate architecture and presentation, but this place understood something more important: when the product is exceptional, the product becomes the attraction. The pastries ranged from playful and charming to elegant and refined. The Salt & Butter bread was an instant staple -- savory, warm, and impossibly light. The dough practically dissolved like air. Thankfully, nothing felt overly heavy, because I completely lost control of my ordering strategy. The Kobo Kuma -- a soft bear-shaped bun filled with homemade vanilla bean custard -- was perfection. Equal parts cute and comforting. The Cinnamon Roll was solid, but the Haupia pastry completely stole the show. For those unfamiliar, Haupia is a traditional Hawaiian coconut pudding found throughout Polynesia. The flavor here was subtle yet lingering, delicate without disappearing. The kind of flavor that quietly stays with you long after the last bite. Then came the Blueberry Danish -- beautiful, buttery, and perfectly sweet. I didn't even make it to the savory options this time, which honestly just gives me another reason to return. And I absolutely will -- whether back here in Hawaii or perhaps at one of their mainland locations in Los Angeles. Some places become popular because of hype. Others because of quality. This bakery earned its line.

I learned that they also serve coffee so next time I'll head there and try the coffee too. Totally recommend going and trying all the flavors if you can. Heads up that there is no seating so prepare to pick up and go. Also, the parking lot is pretty small so I recommend parking in the Safeway parking lot across the street. It's a mini shopping center so should be okay to park at for a quick stop.

I was staying in Waikiki and Kona Coffee Purveyors was just a short walk away in the International Marketplace shopping center. As I came up to the shopping center shortly after 7am, I noticed a long line, and thought to myself, this couldn't possibly be for Kona Coffee Purveyors, right?? But unfortunately for me, it was. I didn't see how long the line extended, but I knew I didn't have time to wait, so I ended up getting coffee elsewhere. A few hours later, around 11:30am, I was back in the Waikiki area and happened to be walking past Kona Coffee Purveyors. I saw there were maybe a handful of people in line, so I decided to drop in. I ended up getting a latte, black sesame kouign amann, and pandan coconut tapioca pudding. My favorite was the pandan coconut tapioca pudding which was delightfully light and not too sweet dessert. Black sesame kouign amann: A twist on the classic kouign amann. A beautiful blend of crunchy and soft. The black sesame filling adds a nice flavor. Pandan coconut tapioca pudding: Pandan pudding, coconut tapioca, topped with coconut macaroon. This seems to be a seasonal/limited item. Their desserts are from b patisserie, and they all looked soo enticing and pretty! It was a nice place to sit and leisurely enjoy coffee and pastries. I would say this place is not worth it right when they open, only because the line is soo long and it's very hectic with people fighting for seating and getting their orders in. I would recommend going later in the morning or in the afternoon to avoid the morning craze.

    Very long longs. Be prepared to wait in the morning hours. Pastries were good but as black coffee…read moredrinkers, the coffee was just lacking for us. I don't know if I'd wait in that long line again just for those pastries. Nitro: 2/5. It was super bitter and not a good nitro at all. Drip coffee: 4/5. Nothing special but not bad. Banana chocolate croissant: 5/5. Very good. Lilikoi pastry: 3/5. Tasted good. But was not wowed. Pistachio pastry: 5/5. Loved the pistachio cream and the pastry was tasty.

    My friend has me loving these pastries from local general store. I have been horrible with taking…read morepics but got to eat more of their delicious baked goods. Since it was their anniversary on Sunday, also got their celebratory funfetti cupcake which also like their baked goods did not disappoint. The croissant base of many of their pastries is flaky. When fresh it crunches with every bite that you take. This time around we had the cinnamon roll, mango danish which had a chocolate mochi filling, and their char siu bun. It's such a neat take to have char siu in a croissant. We are used to having it in the doughy bao bread but in a croissant, savory with a crunchy outside tastes so much better. I love sweet but this one wasn't overly sweet, who would have thought that mango and chocolate pair so well together. It's the summer months, fresh mango on pastries. It was the perfect ripeness. For the cinnamon roll, you honestly cannot forget get their cinnamon roll...It's flaky and again the frosting is not overly sweet. Can't wait to get another box of their pastries again soon.

    I met up with my friend at the Local Heneral for a quick snack. I was pleasantly surprised by the…read moreselection of food and pastries. It's a cute little shop with benches facing the windows to people watch. It was hard to pick one item, but I ended up trying the Char Siu Croissant. I loved the flavors combining the sweet glaze and the savory meat. It's now one of my go-to weekend treats!

    I love Pipeline Bakeshops Malasadas! I have been to several Malasada places in Hawaii but | love…read morethere's the best for the following reasons: 1. the size of the malasadas: some restaurants tend to make their Malasadas smaller and when places do this it ruins the overall texture and quality of it. The bigger the malasadas size the more airy and fluffy and more bread layers that will be inside. 2. their malasadas always taste fresh and the same quality each time. 3. their malasadas don't feel oily or heavy at all Overall I would highly recommend this place for their Malasadas! 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! I'm trying to remember but I think there was a book off that was not too far from here! If you either drive or maybe walk. Service: staff was super helpful and friendly while I was there. I was having an issue with my online order because my phone was being glitchy and they were so nice in helping :) Also wanted to note their branding is so cute!! They even sell merch items too

    Everyone knows to go to Leonard's for freshly made malasadas, and the constant crowds there attest…read moreto their quality and variety (review: https://yelp.to/jaduiZfQRq). 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). Truth be told, it stole the show from the malasadas. FOOD - 4 stars... the malasadas were good, but that ube dessert was next level AMBIANCE - 4 stars...really a takeout operation with a lot of temptations SERVICE - 4 stars...very calm and orderly TOTAL - 4 stars...yet another spot for sweet Hawaiian decadence RELATED - Exploring Hawaii?

I'm happy to see a local business thriving but I hope they can improve their customer flow. The baked goods looked as inviting as always but they seemed a day-old or something. The butter horn was hard and not flaky as I've come to expect and the chocolate of the Boston Creme donut wasn't creamy. They may wish to consider: 1, Clearly delineating the line for the restaurant from the bakery. It was super busy for both so there was a lot of confusion. 2. Perhaps placing the number machine for the bakery closer to the door? Tourists aren't familiar with the system so it leads to some unnecessary dissatisfaction. 3. The staff had to leave the counter to get coffee - hot or iced. The condiments for the coffee were on the showcase so people had to be in everyone's way to get their sugar and cream. In fact, if you were standing near the door you had to go through people waiting in line back into the establishment to get those items. But, with all this, the two ladies at the counter were remarkably composed and helpful.
