Aloha State Bake Shop [preorder&pick up only]

Kanako is amazing! Her class was super organized, clean, and fun! She’s very thorough and explains the steps in detail. My dessert came out amazing and I learned so much :) I had so much fun I already signed up for a second class. If you’re looking to expand your baking skills (or start baking) I highly recommend this studio :)

The best Japanese style cheesecake in Hawaii! Two sizes and two flavors: classic vanilla and limited time flavor. The special packaging is so pretty and perfect for gifts. If you haven't had it yet, you really should try it!

Had to look at the building directory board to find out where they were - walked down the stairs to the basement level and there they were - with a very low profile signage. Bought their cheesecake (of course) and some other cold desserts in their refrigerated display case. In my head cheesecake is grouped into 2 types: cheesy, solid and heavy, or cream cheesy, soft and fluffy. This cheesecake is definitely the latter - perhaps also known as the soufflé type. Although I prefer the heavy solid type, I did like their cheesecake - it tasted mellow and gentle with a hint of classy vanilla - and not stingingly sweet and loud like the cheaply-made-but-still-expensive cheesecakes too often found everywhere. Their other desserts, unfortunately, were not great. They weren’t bad, but not outstanding

The first time I've heard of Aloha State Bake Shop was when it was featured on YouTube's Amanda&FelixEats channel. Since I was stuck waiting at the Medical Arts Building, I thought I would check this place out. So I head down to the basement level and was surprised on how small, yet cute this dessert shop was. Despite it's small appearance, it offered various grab-and-go kawaii desserts such as cream puffs, cups of pana cotta, tiramisu, pudding, and slices of cheesecake. The black sesame cheese cake drew my attention and I'm glad I got it. It had that regular cheesecake flavor and texture, but with an earthy-nutty flavor, which I enjoyed. It was surprisingly delicious and decadent. It's not overly sweet, like most cheesecakes. I definitely recommend checking this place out and would likely

They make the BEST cheesecake ever! My husband usually doesn’t like cheesecakes but he loves this cheesecake so much that he requested the cake for his birthday. Not only the cakes but the sandwiches are also really good. The owner and staffs are super nice and friendly and make me want to come back again and again!
