We found this bakery as a happy accident on a scenic drive to the North Shore. It was closed by the…read moretime we stopped by so we had to make time to go the second time around. On this visit, we got a full spread! We got a box of all of the things and it didn't disappoint. I was so excited to choose all kinds of pastries for my box. At this point, everything is already in my tummy and I've already crossed memory lane, so I can't tell you the names of every pastry but what I can tell you is take the scenic drive. Check out the businesses you normally wouldn't have stopped by. Visit the Yelp page. Look at recommendations from fellow Yelpers! When I'm curious of a place and I'm not convinced yet, I always go to Yelp to see what the people have to say and the people love the pastries here for good reason. This place has some good pastries. I would come back just to satisfy the sweet tooth again. I will say, leave the snow puffs for enjoying when you're not in your vehicle unless you're okay with a mess lol

Update on Paalaa Kai Bakery since driving along Haleiwa a must stop Snow Puffies …read more Very flaky and custard filling turnover it's the Bomb.

The concept is pretty simple: you choose a base (vanilla, coconut, dairy-free coconut, or frozen…read moreyogurt) and then pick a real fruit to be blended in with the ice cream . I love different ice cream flavors so the other flavors weren't that appealing to me. It was pretty late so I just got a basic vanilla cone. The fruit options include mango, pineapple, strawberry, mixed berry, blueberry, raspberry, and sometimes lilikoi (passion fruit)!

Love this concept! It was so delicious! You start by choosing a base (I chose vanilla) and then you…read morechoose a fruit (I chose raspberry). Then, they blend the base and fruit together to make a delicious soft serve ice cream! It was incredible! I wish they had more seating outside, but other than that this is the perfect place to grab an ice cream! I can't wait to come back!

Highly recommend HI Pie! My bf and I were looking for somewhere new to eat in Haleiwa and didn't…read morefeel like going to any of the touristy shrimp trucks. We happened in to HI Pie and were surprised to discover such a hidden gem. I ordered the chicken pot pie which was $13 (reasonably priced for a handmade fresh mini pie). The cafe is well designed, clean and not crowded, so we didn't even have to wait in a line. I'm so excited to return and can't wait to try some of their drinks - the matcha latte looked promising I think they use Ami Mei matcha, chocolate chip cookies and other sweet flavors of pie. Added bonus: parking was also super easy, they have a lot in the back!

HI Pie!! You get a HI 5 from the Wifey and I. To be…read morehonest, we did desert first while waiting for the Pot Pie. She made me do it, buuuuut ...thankfully ... I gave little to no resistance. The Eleanor Pineapple Cream Pie was sooooo good!! If I had to find a negative about it, it was sharing it - lol. Never again. Sorry babe, we don't share HI-Pie Pineapple Cream Pie no more. I recommend anyone trying it get your own. The Pot Pie was easily the best Pot Pie we've ever had - seasoned perfectly, creamy, and the crust was flakey on the outside with a little heart cutout on top making it enjoyable for our toddler to eat. Cute little bakery located in Haleiwa. Plenty of parking behind the bakery. - Recommended for both the Pot Pie and Pineapple Cream Pie. - Not recommend to share the pie - be greedy, eat your own, lick the plate

I've been to Haleiwa Bowls quite a few times and it always hits the spots. Probably the best acai…read morebowl on the island! I usually get the hapa acai bowl, which is their classic acai bowl. I like how they give a lot of fruit for the toppings and the granola to acai ratio is just right. The acai base is a good mix of sweet and tart. Next time, I'd want to try the mana acai bowl! A nice, sweet snack that is perfect for a beach day in the North Shore!

Went here as our first food destination. We were lucky with parking but it's definitely a small…read morelot! I would try to avoid busy times. I ordered their Hapa bowl, and everything in it tasted fresh! nothing was really sour, and the fruits/açaí was icy. What stood out to me was the honey: it was rich and sweet which would really complement the whole bowl. They gave a generous amount to make every bite sweet. The price was pretty standard for açaí bowls at 14 and I would come back again:D

When we arrived only one employee was visible who took and prepared our order so prettily amazingly…read morefast. It tasted wonderful too. My Dubai waffle came with a scoop of gelato - so decadent when a dollop of whipped cream on the side, chocolate syrup drizzled on. Hubs Nutella waffle and Doc's original açaí bowls looked too good to eat as well.

We stopped by after dinner at Cholos and were disappointed to find that two scoops was the smallest…read moresize available. There were no keiki or single-scoop options. When we asked about getting a single scoop, the staff mentioned it was nearly the same price as a double, so we "might as well" get the double. Unfortunately, after a big dinner, we simply didn't want that much gelato. We then asked if we could split a double into two bowls since we weren't comfortable sharing one bowl, but were told no. I'm sharing this feedback because if smaller portions or keiki sizes were available (we were with a child), we would have happily purchased three orders. Instead, we ended up leaving without ordering anything.

Wow!! This place is easily the best shave ice we've ever had!! Every time we come to north shore we…read morealways get matsumoto's which isn't the best quality shave ice but is so cheap and has a lot of flavors. We decided to finally try a different shave ice place this time since north shore has so many places. Parking was in the same lot as the food truck park that has surf and salsa which is normally really crowded during lunch hours, we came around 2:30 so it wasn't too bad but might be difficult if you come at a busier time. They hand make all of their syrups with real fruit and you can definitely tell! We got mango and coconut with banana ice cream and omg the syrups were so much better than every other shave ice place we've had. The consistency was a lot thicker than the usual liquid syrup which made it a lot more flavorful. The coconut syrup was almost like a cream that tasted just like haupia. The banana ice cream was also insanely good, my husband talked about how good the ice cream was the whole drive home haha. The ice was also really fine and smooth. The shop has the cutest outdoor seating in the back right along the water which was so peaceful and shady. Super high quality shave ice and chill laid back vibes. Our new favorite shave ice place for sure!

Came here on a Tuesday and was able to find parking in the lot at 2 PM. There was no line and I was…read morea little skeptical on how much I would like this spot but I am glad I went ahead and ordered. I got the North Shore sub the pineapple with Lychee and it was delicious! The shaved ice was not the smoothest and not all the ice was coated with the flavoring but I really enjoyed how the syrup did not taste artificial. The macadamia nut ice cream on the bottom was excellent! The sweet cream sweetened the shaved ice perfectly. Next time I would definitely request more of the fruit flavoring.

Still my favorite bakery and sandwich shop. Always need coconut dream cookies and a bakery club…read more Love that they use sprouts! Can't find many sandwich places that do. Tip!: Sandwiches are actually really big so if you're not feeling so hungry you can actually order just half a sandwich CASH ONLY but there's ATM. Always friendly staff that will bring your order to you, great fresh beverage options, and a cool little place to take a break in Haleiwa or catch the surf contests on tv! Mahalo nui loa
