★★★★★ 5.0 Michelle Porter · Feb 2026

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the staff were kind and helpful. My pulse instantly started racing when I saw the display case! A truly excellent variety of sweet treats and baked goods. All of them perfectly decorated and lovingly displayed! It was really hard to decide. I got a piece of the flourless chocolate cake and it 💯% broke da mouth! The rich, bittersweet cocoa flavor of the cake was perfectly complimented by the lightly sweet whipped cream topping. I was invited to sign up for a loyalty points program, so I will definitely be heading back soon to try some of their other luscious-looking items.

We ordered two custom cakes - POG and triple lemon bliss - for my daughter's first birthday. They were not cheap, but they were beautiful and delicious! Very moist, super creamy frosting, and not too sweet. We had just enough for our crowd of about 80 with no leftovers, everybody loved it! Definitely worth it for a special occasion.

Stopped here twice while in Hilo, coffee was good, desserts were amazing. Picked up a variety for a family dinner, couldn’t pick a favorite they were all so good.

Day one of the trip and I've found the bakery I want to eat at every day! The pastrami sandwich on panini was amazing. And their drip coffee was perfect. They also had all kinds of sweets I might have to check out on future trips on!

I absolutely adore this place. It’s very obvious that their sandwich’s and baked goods are made with a tremendous amount of love. The pineapple chunk on the side of my breakfast sandwich was a nice touch. I really appreciated the vegetarian option for the breakfast sandwich. My favorite go to’s are the million dollar Mac nut bar and the avocado BLT. Thanks for being great.
