Kulu Kulu — Local services in Honolulu

For those that don't know and especially people who don't live here in Hawaii or are familiar with Asian style desserts, this place offers some popular items that Japanese bakeries that are European inspired offer and more. Now this is not my first choice of pastries or confections to satisfy my sweet tooth, but when in the mood, it fits the bill.

Asian style dessert shops and in particular the Japanese and Chinese ones do their own take on European style treats. They tend to look very impressive with their colorful and creative creations, but are very light and airy along with not much on flavor in terms of intensity. Perfect for tea I guess, but I like real bakery items and strong flavors most of the time.

Kulu Kulu offers lots of assorted treats that are great for an individual indulgence or to be shared. What's nice is they also offer soft serve ice cream as well as coffee and bubble team drinks to add to your sugar rush. It is great for kids because some of their pastries offer cute decorations on top of their creations.

If you plan on going their frequently, be sure to get a stamp card so you can get some freebies...

The other day I went so happy there because I wanted to buy a cake for baby gender reveal party. She said they cannot do that even that baker said they can and other employees were confused why she says they cannot. I really won’t go back there anymore. There is another kulu kulu in Waikiki that is further away and those people are so nice with local vibe and...

I went at about 3pm and they really weren’t busy. I was sitting at a table right next to the stand so I already knew what I wanted by the time I walked up I just thought I’d let the line go down. When I finally decided to walk up there was a man just standing in front of the display case presumably deciding on what he wants. I stepped in front of the cash register ready for them to take my order because I already knew exactly what I wanted. The cashier proceeded to look at me the point to the man. I asked him “are you going to order?” He said “no, you can go ahead.” The cashier was still reluctant and rude to take my order. When she gave me my ice cream cone she shoved it into my hand and turned to the man and said “I’m sorry about that” I was shocked. I will not...
