The sponge cake is so light, and the cream fillings are just as light, paired with fresh fruit. Nothing about it weighs you down. The strawberry and cream is my favorite, with the matcha strawberry coming in at a close second. But honestly, my suggestion is to go with the sampler box and get a slice of everything: strawberry, ube, mango, banana, matcha, and cookies and cream. You won't regret it. Just make sure to go early, because they sell out fast. Aside from the roll cakes, they also have bentos, musubi, and sandwiches, so there's plenty to love here. Shikeda does beautiful Japanese-inspired bento and patisserie, and if you have a sweet tooth but want something on the lighter side, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

While it's a bit of a turn off for me when there are no prices displayed for any of the items, I'll still support you at least one time. There was the spam only musubi and one with egg which is what left with me. Initial visual is that it's juicy because of all the space and rolled in furukaki which are both things that I love! Nice hot when it left in my hand and out the door we went. The taste is good as the sauce wasn't too salty and the rice was just right; not to hard or soft. The rice was still able to hold together and the additional furukaki was generous. Nice shop to try! Street parking was easy for us this time

It has been a long time since Ive physically gone to Stillwells to get something. Not to mention…read moregetting something other then pastries. I think the last time was before they changed ownership. Walked in & the vibe was overall different. The store is brighter with music playing . Ive also noticed that they're now on social media, which I'm sire has helped bring in business for them. I went for the special which was the hot pastrami sandwich & I chose Caesar salad for my side. It came on a nice thick bread filled with a generous portion of meat. Really tasty & even though I didnt eat it right away the bread wasnt soggy. I'm really not a salad girlie, but decided that it was a good pairing for that sandwich. If you havent been into stillwells in years, definitely make it back there if you can.

(+) Azuki bean mochi…read more Maui specialty chocolates is a family owned business that sells high quality chocolates, candies and mochi. They have plenty of selection in terms of chocolate. The reason we visit here is for their mochi. The mochi is some of the best I've ever had, and I have been to Japan to try theirs. The flavors are chocolate, peanut butter chocolate, and azuki bean (red bean). I'm not a peanut butter fan nor chocolate, so I just ate the red bean mochi. The mochi is so soft and the red bean filling is not too sweet and filled with a good amount of it. Since it is a family business, the hours are fluctuate constantly. There was a point where every time we visited, it was closed during our stay for 4 years straight. Check their website to confirm hours.

Aloha fellow BES' Kine Goodies Seekers!…read more I LOVE MANUELA MALASADAS so.stop by every time I go to Costco! They are right across the street so I may drive to the lot right next to the truck or just run across the street ! It's a cute, very clean food truck right off the hotel driveway & parking lot with parking stalls right near it in case you buy a bunch to take home. Or have a car full of luggage from your flight to Maui since it's just down the way from OGG airport. Malasadas put donuts to shame!!! ESPECIALLY if you like gooey fillings & toppings. My favorite ones are around Christmas but they have tons of regular fillings. I can never get less than three because I can't pass up my chance to try new ones. They have wonderful staff... especially the manager Sabrina...really know their way around dough and they do not scrimp on the Malasadas itself or the fillings! They ONLY cook just for you... so plan a few minutes wait but they have picnic tables under a tarp right there or you can walk around the other food trucks. But definitely at least take your first bites there while they're hot out of the frier!!! 'Only ONE piece of advice: ... G O. H U N G R Y !!!! ...

Absolutely terrible customer service…read more We placed an order based on the information provided through the delivery platform, only to find out that the information did not match the location's actual delivery policies. If you're going to use third-party delivery services, make sure the information customers see is accurate and reflects your business practices. What made the experience even worse was the interaction with one of the employees. When we called for clarification, the woman who answered was extremely rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. She offered no explanation, made no attempt to help, and simply hung up on us. Mistakes happen, but treating customers with respect should be the bare minimum. Instead of taking ownership of the confusion, we were met with poor communication and a complete lack of professionalism. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this business until they improve both their customer service and the accuracy of the information they provide on their delivery platforms.

He even has mochi malasadas with chantilly filling! Yummers! I got the Lechon plate for $20. Came with rice, two sauces, and 2 poi Cascaron balls. And some mochi malasadas with chantilly, and some poi cascaron on the side. All delicious and all worth a repeat visit. I would call ahead to save your Lechon because it sells fast.

She posts pop-ups on her Instagram acount at @mauipastryayu and you seriously need to be quick. They sell out in a flash! Thankful to Bethani for giving me the heads up and hooking it up! Because of her I was able to try two delectable cheesecake flavors: Caramel Apple Cheesecake with walnut & graham cracker crust and Dark Cherry cheesecake with walnut crust. Oh my goodness, every single bite was heavenly. My favorite of the two was the caramel apple! I am not super into cheesecake, but swear, these didn't taste as heavy or overly sweet and oh the walnuts in the crust were absolutely perfect! You can really taste the quality and care that goes into every single bite. If you miss out on the pop-ups, you can put in an order for a whole cake. Place your order at least 5 days in advance and text them for any questions! I can't wait to try them again. It does cost a premium, but for a once in a while thing, I am happy to indulge ;)
