Cute bakery and super friendly staff! We ordered a few different items and I will start with the Lililkoi ice tea. We ordered the large for $3.50 and I really wanted to like it, but it didnt have much flavor. The 16oz cup was filled with ice and the tea was poured over the ice, I tasted it right away because I was afraid that after the ice melts the flavor would be diluted (but there wasnt much flavor to begin with and would only give it a 1 star). We also ordered the Malasadas (the sign says they are fresh baked) and they were warm when we walked out of the bake shop. They are similar to the type that you get at Leonards Bakery. We ate them as soon as we stepped out and found them very tasty.The last two items we brought home to eat. First the Malasada bread pudding, DELICIOUS (definitely 5 STARS). The gal who helped us said it would be best if it were warm, so we put it in the microwave for 20 seconds (so good).The last thing we purchased was a Strawberry cake bomb (was not a favorite), will not purchase again. The light colored cake was super soggy and didnt have any flavor, although the light frosting was good, had a hint of strawberry flavor (1 star).I will go back for the Malasada Bread Pudding and the Malasadas, and look forward to trying some of their other items. (The Lilikoi cream cheese bar, Ube Haupia Mac Nut Bar, and the cookies look really good).

5 stars for the cake bombs, 3 for the malasadas, which were a bit greasy and not as fluffy as others. Skip the malasads here and get the cake bombs. So yummy.

Malasadas are excellent and the malasada bread pudding is even better.

Pipeline Bakeshop & Creamery has made things so easy for me to order online and curbside pickup. We all know how dreadful parking can be, and it allows more people to park and pick up their delicious baked goods quicker. I love ordering online and picking up! Their site is updated daily so you dont have to guess what they have in stock. If in doubt, you can always call.

Don’t get the cake bomb.. even though it’s said to be their best-seller, I find it overly seeet and the cake is just too wet. A bit gross to eat tbh. The malasadas are okay

You must make a stop here if you are in the area. The hot malasadas were better than Leonard’s in my opinion. The homemade strawberry ice cream was excellent. I also tried the banana bread with chocolate chips which had good banana flavor but probably would have been better warm. The peanut butter cookie was tasty as was the energy bar which was more like a rice crispy treat. The cake bomb was lemony without being too much so and very moist. Went twice during my stay so far and will probably return again tonight.

We came in to try their malasadas and they were da bomb! Hot, fresh and huge! Our boys gobbled down two each and if we would have let ours go, theyd have eaten those too. Lots of other pretty desserts but seriously, all we wanted was to fill our bellies with soft, fluffy malasadas. I had one coffee flavored and while it didnt taste tremendously different from the cinnamon, it was very yummy.

They make the malasadas to order so it does take a while to get them (we waited about 5 minutes). The malasadas were pretty good though. We also tried a focaccia with tomato and mushroom. The flavors were good but the bread itself was a little mushy. We’ll probably stop by here again and try the ube bites.

I ordered a couple things today for mothers day online and then once I got there I went in and ordered ice cream for myself. EVERYTHING I ordered was delicious and amazing. So much flavor and excellent quality. Love this place so much will be going back again.

They have a great way to order online and pick up curbside or in the bakery. Everything is so yummy here. This time I just picked up a few things. I can’t wait to go back!

Review №12

A great local spot for once cream and baked treats. The ice cream was nice and rich and was not that over priced for what you get. Not a ton of ice cream options but the flavors that they do have are usually what you want. Parking is challenging but if you can find a spot around the block its not a far walk. Yum.

Review №14

What a disappointment!!! Ordered on Goldbelly over a month ago for a special occasion. Delivered a week late with rotten food. Goldbelly sent a replacement box. Arrived today which was date promised. Malasadas arrived overcooked, almost burnt. We ordered cocoa, coffee, original, cinnamon and le hung. They all tasted exactly the same, no difference. Don’t waste your money. As my husband said, these aren’t Leonard’s Bakery!

Though I couldnt taste anything because Im a diabetic, the selection looked gorgeous. The friends that I bought it for said it was delicious. The lady helping me at 8am opening was pleasant and very patient because it was difficult to choose being it was my 1st time there. So many great pastries.

Review №22

The best Malasadas in town!I’ve tried many kind of malasadas from popular establishments before. I’ve always wondered what made the certain place so popular over another but I couldn’t figure out why as I couldn’t tell the difference until I tried this place.The texture and taste are different at this place for sure. I’d chose the original one. Other flavors are available but it it is not the cream inset but different flavor sugar coat.You can’t go wrong with the original. I will try their gelato next time I go back.

Their blueberry scones are chock full of blueberry and the liikoi scones have just the right amount of tartness and sweetness. Both true winners. Also order the liikoi cheese bar. My mouth waters just thinking about it.

Review №27

Great little shop for when that sweet tooth demands to be fed - creative desserts and pastries including a pumpkin crunch that Eater Hawaii said was a must-try dessert. Their sole savory item is a plump “pizza pie” with focaccia; coffee, mochas and lattes also available to enjoy with your treat. Some fun homemade ice cream flavors to try - must come back!

Review №31

Pipeline never disappoints! They now have online ordering, and it was seamless. We got the cake bombs, coffee, strawberry guava and lemon. They were delicious! We also got focaccia, they were like mini pizza pies, soo good, and of course, malasadas with sugar coating. They didnt offer filled malasadas but everything else was perfection, so custard filling was not really missed.

Review №33

Got a half dozen malasadas and a Lilikoi scone. They were all delicious! It seemed like the difference between the malasada flavors is just which flavor of sugar they use, so there wasn’t much of a difference. I’d recommend just getting the originals, which are marginally cheaper and equally great!

Review №36

Since the first time trying malasadas, we knew theyd be even better with icey cream!Well the creative minds of Pipeline Bakeshop now serve malasada ice cream sandwiches and it is a treat not to be missed! We decided to stuff our own (since we came too early for that launch on July 1st @7pm) with the chocolate avalanche (which is a kona coffee rocky road) and it was BOMB with my strong Viet ice ca phê (from Broken Rice across the street). Nearly broke da mouth, but we had Koko Head Cafe to enjoy next so we bit slowly and enjoyed fully.The cake bombs are flavorful, but it is wayy too much icing for us. Super moist cakes and they were nice enough to give me the fattest blueb scone in their tray. We will def be back, maybe for a pint next time and def more baked goodies.With a nice, clean shop & fresh beachy vibe, what more could a sweet tooth as for?Maybe more for to-go & dont forget they offer a free malasada with every >$10 purchase! Yes, please! =D

Recommended as an even better alternative than Leonards, we went for their famed stuffed malasadas. Due to covid and the requirement to have ovky 3 in the store at a time, they werent able to make them but the made to order malasadas we got? Delicious!!!!

Review №38

Malasadas here are large, fluffy, hot and tasty. About the same price as Leonards without the crazy lines. Easy parking in the meter parking lot across the street. I like the regular sugar flavor the best. There are no filled malasadas like at Leonards. The flavored malasadas are just sprinkled on and most of the flavors are too mild.

Good malasadas! I like their dough consistency the best, over Leonards and Liliha bakery. They do not have any filled varieties though which is too bad.

An absolute MUST if you are in the area. We stumbled across pipeline when we were visiting the Curb - a cute little grab-and-go coffee shop just down the street from this bakery. Pipeline apparently shares their treats there sometimes and we sampled a cake bomb there and just had to walk the block back to purchase some more!!! We tried the honeydew melon, lemon, coconut, and matcha flavors and each was unique and flavorful and carefully prepared. We highly recommend!!!!

Review №52

I had a wonderful time there today I had a Lilikoi scone and a cup of coffee and maybe the best conversation with the regulars that goes there. Sadly I ate the scone before taking a picture of it which means You have to go and try it?! Now they dont have wifi which means youll will have a great conversation with whoever is there.

Review №68

Best malasadas Ive had, period. Made fresh, come out almost too hot to eat immediately, but do it anyway because they are best that way. Light and fluffy on the inside, perfect crust on the outside, coated with cinnamon and sugar (the classic). So good! Ice cream flavors look awesome too, but I didnt try any. Love this place, definitely now on our list of places we go to everytime we come to Oahu!

Food was great but staff was def on island time. Waited 20 minutes to order (not hyperbole) with the staff chatting with the one person in front of us with no acknowledgement of our wait. Not worth the trip.

I ordered a scoop of cookie and cream ice cream and strawberry guava cake bomb for first time and I am impressed! I like to treat myself once in a while and I wanted it to be worth it. I hoped so and I am glad to say it was worth the calories! Thumbs up! I will come back again someday.

Delicious ice cream in baked goods. Everything was fresh and tasted exactly as you would expect from a boutique ice cream shop. Their ice cream filled malasadas are very interesting, buy I wouldnt order it again. The ambiance of the store is very clean and inviting although seating is limited. Unfortunately prices are relatively high here, and because theres no stand-out item on the menu, I probably wont be going back soon.

Finally got a chance to try this place and boy was it worth it. Tried there malamode which is a malasada with ice cream goodness inside. You can chose your toppings and ice cream. But the strawberry guava cake bomb was the bomb.

I ordered the malasadas through Goldbelly from Pipeline who shipped them overnight. I was expecting a true treat. What I got were dry, nearly tasteless lumps of fried bread. $49 for 12! Don’t waste your money!!

How can you not give 5 stars?The lemon cake bomb is the bomb-deezy. The malasada bread pudding they are known for is okay, wouldnt get it again. they offered to heat it up and nuked it for 30 seconds.. wasnt even warm. Lots of treats there. Fun vibes. Good service.

Hit this place up if you have a sweet tooth! Great selection of malasadas, pastries, and ice cream. I got a couple of the classic and the cocoa malasadas and it was definitely a great way to end dinner. They had a bunch of unique flavored items throughout the store.

So, honestly, I havent been there, but from looking this site & menu over, its a little misleading to call it a breakfast restaurant. Its a baked goods & ice cream shop, its not a restaurant. You cant go in, sit down and order pancakes or bacon & eggs. Nice looking pastries, though.

I discovered this place after I came across an advert indicating that Facebook the shop was giving away free Cakebombs for a special they were doing at the shop. I made a beeline over there, because anything thats Free99 is speaking my language. I got the birthday cake flavor that day and it was so good, I just had to come back and bring my husband with me. The cake was moist and full of flavor. It was pretty sweet as well. The second time we went, I got the fruity pebbles cakebomb (because, Fruity Pebbles!) and it was good too. Not quite as good as the birthday cake flavor, but I still enjoyed it.The only con about this place is the lack of parking. We parked in the lot across from Joses restaurant and it was a Saturday so most of the spots were already full. We got lucky and were able to find a spot, but if you go on a busy day, you might be driving around for a bit.
