All That Cake Co.

All That Cake Co. sells cake by the slice with unique flavors that you won't find anywhere else on the island. They pop up at the Kakaako Farmers Market on Saturdays and Kailua Town Farmers Market on Sundays. From time to time, they will also be at events around the island. My favorite is the Fuji apple crumble. It taste like a pumpkin pie and I feel like I'm in the fall season with all those warm spices. Her cake slices are boxed and chilled in a cooler. They are $11.95 per slice. She usually has a special flavor that will be posted on Instagram, @allthatcakeco.hi, prior to the farmers market day and then 2 other flavors available. The chocolate PB&J was too rich for my liking but I've seen other combinations of chocolate cake. I do plan to visit them again soon and try other flavors.

Beyond Pastry Studio

Beyond Pastry Studio is known for their epicurean cheesecakes and creative pastries. The pastries menu continues to evolve and there is always something new to try. The display case is small, but it is filled with so many items. You will be tempted to get one of each and bring a box back to the office or home to share. The epicurean cheesecakes and chizutani are a must try. The epicurean cheesecakes are light and creamy. They come in 2 flavors, regular and chocolate. The chizutani is a hybrid of cheesecake and cheese tart. It leans more towards a cheesecake but it's not as dense. My favorite items are the snickerdoodle (cookie), chocolate epicurean cheesecake, and chizutani. 

They are in downtown Honolulu between Alii Place and Bourbon Street restaurant. You can park inside Alii Place for a reasonable rate or find metered street parking on Richards Street and walk over to the next block.

Waikiki Tea House

Waikiki Tea House is open for takeout! They offer a variety of Lady M crepe cakes, cheesecakes, and cake. You can buy crepe cakes by the slice or whole. The cakes slices are about $9 each. They also have iced teas and tea lattes. The Lady M crepe cakes are creamier than the other crepe cakes I've tried. I recommend the signature millie crepe cake.

Waikiki Tea House is located in the same building as Henry's Place; they're next to each other. There are 3 parking spaces next to the building and it's for Waikiki Tea House customers. If you plan to buy more than 6 slices, please give them a call before you head over. There is only 1 person working and it does take time to package everything.

Uncle Tetsu - CLOSED

Uncle Tetsu is known for their light and airy cheesecakes. They originated from Japan and this is their first location in the United States. The cheesecake flavors are original and coffee. You want to buy the cheesecake right after it comes out of the oven. It is best to eat the cheesecake when it's still warm but if you put it into the fridge for a few hours, the cake firms up and is more like the American cheesecake. I enjoy the cheesecakes here because they're not rich and overly sweet. If you don't like cheesecake, they also have other baked goods and cold drinks.

They are located on the 2nd floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center at the Pa'ina Lanai Food Court. They offer validation if you make a purchase. The prices are reasonable so you might end up buying more than just a cheesecake.

The Little Oven - CLOSED

They are finally open again! If you are a dessert lover and never came here 2 years ago, now is the time to come. It's a tiny little shop that serves spectacular desserts. There is only one chef and one assistant creating/plating the desserts so the wait time is about 20-30 minutes. I recommend ordering everything on the left side of the menu after you walk in. If you are an impatient person, don't come here because this place is not for you. This business runs on an odd schedule. You need to check their twitter or facebook page to see when they open.

Kulu Kulu

There's a new Japanese bakery located inside of Shirokiya on the mall level. Their cakes are very moist and light. They are also very expensive. My favorite item so far is the strawberry roll cake. Their website shows a lot of items in the cake lineup. When I went on the weekend I only saw half of the items in the display case. I plan to go back very soon and try more of their items.

Patisserie La Palme D'Or

Get ready for some light and fancy cake. They have a really nice showcase for the cakes and it makes everything look delicious. Some cakes taste good while others are alright. Don't bother pronouncing the names of the cakes here, I suggest you point. Most of the names are french and if you don't say it right, it's going to sound really weird. My pick is the strawberry shortcake. I guess since it's strawberry season, the strawberries were super sweet and juicy. The next time you're at Ala Moana on the Macy's/Shirokiya side, come check this place out.

Cafe Laufer - CLOSED

This is a nice little place to have lunch with friends. They have a small menu but I'm sure there's something on there that everyone will like. Their ordering process is a bit different from the typical restaurant. You order in the back of the restaurant by the register and then a waitress will tell you what table to sit on. Afterwards, they will bring the items to your table.

This place has won a lot of awards for their desserts. So you definitely want to save room for a slice of cake or tart. They also bake pastries. The next time you're in the Kaimuki area, swing by and check this place out.

Panya Bistro

The food is okay but I think most of the items on the menu are over priced. I come here for the cakes and pastries. I like their cakes because it's light and moist. They put a lot of fruits on the top of their cake similar to bakeries in Asia. They can also do writings on the cake in Chinese. There aren't many bakeries around that will do that. The cakes are expensive but it's worth it.
