    I'd say it's worth stoping by this historical bakery for their famous pastries if you're in the area. They make everything fresh but I didn't have to wait long for my order.

The staff was also very nice and helped walk me through the menu prior to ordering.

    Came in around 6:30am on a saturday, no problems parking at the free parking lot and no crowd at all. Immediately able to order and get the order Food was great, got the original and li hing (dried salted plums) for the regular malasadas. And also got the malasadas with filling, had a custard, macadamia, dobash (chocolate almost tablea like), haupia (coconut), guava, and lilikoi passion fruit since i had to try all the different flavors available. Lastly, also tried their ube butter mochi squares Service was solid, no complaints Atmosphere was solid too, the place was pleasant and clean.
