Elvin's Bakery

Elvin's Bakery is a HK style bakery which located at Kapalama Shopping Center. There're a lot of free parking. It's a small bakery but there're a lot of choices to pick. I order all of my birthday cakes at Elvin's. The best one I believe is the Mango Mousse cake. They used all the fresh ingredients and the cake wasn't too sweet. I tried all of their sliced cakes and all tasted very good and moist. Very friendly owner and great service. Don't miss this hidden germ on Dillingham Street.

I haven't actually been here so I can't speak to customer service, location, etc. I have, however, had the strawberry shortcake on three occasions. The cake is delicious. Fresh strawberries and fruit with a light frosting that isn't too sweet. Yum. Perfect Asian style cake. One time, I ordered the cake but had someone else pick up. The service over the phone was good. I was about to quickly order the cake and pay over the phone. I'd definitely recommend for a yummy Asian style cake.

I used to buy cakes here for family and friends and they were so delicious. Not anymore. I bought a cake for my boyfriend and was so disappointed. It was extremely dry, had zero taste. The fruit (mixed fruit) used to be fresh and now it seemed canned. Terrible. What happened? I'm so disappointed and upset honestly

Lots of free parking in this busy shopping area. Be prepared to stand in line, as this bakery is ultra popular and pastries fly off the shelf. Get there early! You can order your beautiful cake and request for writing. It's small inside but well worth the wait! Enjoy this hidden gem in Kalihi!

Sadly my review of Elivin's bakery is not great. We picked up a slice of the recommended best seller strawberry shortcake cake, lilikoi cake, lemon bar and bolo Bao. The strawberry shortcake whipped frosting was not like whipped cream. It tasted waxy and not fluffy. It was not fresh whipped cream. The strawberries did not taste fresh either. The cake portion was on the dry side. 2 out of 5 stars. The lilikoi slice was not edible. Not sure if something was wrong here. The lilikoi topping was super sour. Maybe something happened? The cake was dry and old tasting. We ended up throwing it away. Three of us tried a taste and it was a no go. 1 out of 5 stars. Lemon bar. I enjoyed the lemon part. The crust was unfortunately not crisp or flaky. Maybe it was refrigerated too long. The bar was on the soft side. It is individually wrapped and the top will get messed up if your not careful how you open it up. 3 out of 5 stars. The Bolo Bao. A simple plain and average sweet bread. No filling. Just bread. 3 out of 5 stars. Service. Really nice lady helped us with our choices. She was sweet and informative. 5 out of 5 stars. You are charged 50 cents per box. The receipt is not itemized so you need to pay attention to the signage. The bakery is quaint and clean. It's located in the Kapalama Shopping Center. There is free parking available in the area.

This is my go to place for strawberry shortcake in a bind. It is so easy to call in and place an order for pickup. The taste is delicious and consistent and the store welcoming. They also have yummy pastries which is always an added plus if I'm running errands and starving.

The chocolate dream cake is a very light and creamy cake. It's a good dessert to eat after a heavy meal. The cream is fresh and has a cocoa like taste that melts in your mouth. Really like the fresh berries and chocolate decoration on top with edible personalized message. The owners are nice and the shop is always well stocked with pastries, breads, and cakes. Some cakes require advance order. Lots of parking located in Kapalama Shopping Center.

I've heard of this business for many years, but never had a chance to go. Finally went and got to see what it was like. There were a few people in the bake shop that seemed to be repeat customers. The owner seemed to have a good relationship with them. They were treated much better. I grabbed a spam and egg bun for breakfast. Nothing to complain about. The bread was tender, and the spam and egg were pretty standard. Nothing to write home about but it was enjoyable enough.

Finally got to stop by Elvin's Bakery located in the Kapalama shopping center next door to Ahi & vegetable . Thanks to auntie Nadine C. several birthday gatherings she bought birthday cakes from there . It was so delicious I ordered a strawberry shortcake for my nephew birthday coming up on 6/10. One of the cakes I tried was the strawberry shortcake. Elvin's Bakery cakes is so light and moist and very fresh . In their showcase they have a good selection of cakes to purchase if you go early . For your convenience so you don't have to pre-order a particular cake . I also was lucky enough to try Elvin's chestnut cake as well and let me tell you it was different in a good way . I thought ok it's going to be nutty and gritty but to my surprise it was like a light brown chestnut purée in between 2 layers of moist cake . If you haven't try their cakes it's a must . Support local and I'll be back for other occasions

Free and easy parking in the Kalihi area. They personalized a mango flavored birthday cake for my co-worker. Nice flavor that I couldn't find at most bakeries in the area. Everyone in the office loved the delicate taste of the cake - not too sweet. They also have a nice assortment of daily pastries and breads. Will be back!
