Best Dessert in Oahu

"Nominated for a James Beard Foundation Award for Best New Restaurant in 2014, MW, run by the husband-and-wife power team of Wade Ueoka and Michelle Karr-Ueoka, has quickly become one of the most-buzzed-about restaurants in town, serving creative dishes that feature local ingredients, such as the popular fried Jidori chicken with a garlic-soy sauce and Hawaiian-grown hearts of palm, and the panzanella salad using Ho Farms baby tomatoes and goat cheese from Hawaii Island. The dining room is spacious and sleek, with high ceilings and a modern decor. And the attentive waitstaff and creative bartenders only enhance the dining experience."

"This is our go-to spot for a nice dinner with family ^_^ They recently moved to a new location on the second floor of Velocity Honolulu. Stop in at the bar for super good cocktails and snacks (they have a daily happy hour). Or make a reservation for one of the best dinners you'll have on the island."

"The "M" and "W" team of husband-and-wife chefs Michelle Karr-Ueko and Wade Ueko bring together their collective experience (20 years alongside...Read More"

"Enjoy a petite cup or cone of creamy goodness at Via Gelato in their minimalist-décor scoop shop. Try any one of their eclectic flavors like black sesame, green tea, sweet potato, or haupia."

"This ice cream shop began as a food truck before finding roots in Kaimuki. The shop makes 16-20 flavors daily, with high-quality ice cream and sorbet flavors inspired by the islands."

"For your last evening, take a nice stroll by the beach, pick up last minute souvenirs at the ABC store, and buy some delicious shortbread cookies at the Honolulu Cookie Company. This 2 day Honolulu itinerary is going to blow by you but as you can see it gives visitors a great glimpse of some of the highlights the island has to offer. It certainly won’t be enough to cover everything but hopefully all that means is that you’ll start planning your next trip once you get home."

"Based in Honolulu, Hawai'i, Honolulu Cookie Company has been perfecting the recipe for delicious shortbread cookies since its establishment in 1998. Our trademark pineapple shape is a symbol of hospitality, welcoming you to our beautiful island home with each delicious bite. Baked in Hawaii, we include the finest ingredients to create our premium, Hawaii-inspired shortbread cookies."

"The secret to the good taste is the ingredients used which include high quality chocolate, flour, butter, and more. There are lots of flavors to choose from including pineapple, Kona coffee, coconut. Definitely give these a try."

"We were driving home from church and saw a bunch of yellow shirts and a white tent. It was a bunch of happy people giving out crazy good ice cream!"

"There’s more to eat in this surf town than just burgers and shave ice, and Haleiwa Eats Thai is one of the best examples. The four-year-old establishment doesn’t look like a typical Thai restaurant—with turquoise Apple monitors forming a pinwheel on one yellow wall–but its dishes are as traditional as they come. Eat family style to sample the array of curries; we also recommend the Pad Kee Mao."

"4 km from city center 49 out of 58 places to visit in Honolulu. Sprawled over 5 acres on the Pali Highway of Honolulu, Queen Emma Summer Palace was built in 1848 and served Queen Emma of Hawaii as their summer retreat. Known as a historic landmark, Queen Emma Summer Palace is an aesthetic museum displaying the ancestral possessions of Queen Emma and the Hawaiian royal family."

"Built in 1847, the summer palace and home of Queen Emma and King Kamehameha IV has been restored and offers a glimpse into the lifestyle of the Hawaiian monarchy."

"Located in Makiki Heights, the second location of the museum is the Honolulu Museum of Art Spalding House, which is a true hidden gem. Visit Honolulu Museum of Art Spalding House is included in the ticket to a visit Honolulu Museum of Art the same day. Both the museums are quiet places, peaceful and beautiful but they are different in many other ways."

"A monument to the influence of Christian missionaries on the Hawaiian islands, this building complex includes original structures from the early 19th century, when New Englanders settled the island to spread the Gospel and instill the Protestant work ethic in islanders. The buildings – including a frame home, a printing house, and a coral-stone home and storehouse – illustrate early Western life on the islands and the zeal and strenuous efforts of the missionaries. Tours, a gift shop, and a library are also available."

"Visit during free Family Day Open House events and, in addition to touring the historic homes, your keiki can play Hawaiian games, craft candles and make pretend pills in a 19th century medicine dispensatory. The events, which were typically held in April and September, were put on pause in 2020. We’ll let you know when it returns."

"Visit the Mission Houses Museum to get an idea how the missionaries lived during Hawaii's missionary period from 1820 to 1863. The settlement was built in 1831 and three of the original buildings remain."

"AWARD WINNERS: Panko Crusted Fresh Ahi Sushi - Island fresh ahi tuna wrapped in arugula & spinach, panko crusted & flash fried, served with soy wasabi butter. The adventurous chef at Sansei will introduce your palate to vibrant unconventional flavors that he incorporates to his seafood dishes.

"A post shared by Herringbone Waikiki (@herringbonewaikiki) on Aug 27, 2018 at 9:45pm PDT. The lovely Herringbone is located a little farther mauka from Stripsteak in an open-roof soaring space that extends from a stadium kitchen. A smaller, darker and cooler indoor dining space with a plesiosaurlike skeleton hanging over the bar leads to a field of outdoor tables whose view is of a hanging wall of Babylon of sorts—a dozen or so planter boxes of yellow pine overflow with greenery as they hover on wires from an open grid of I-beams."

"Hands down one of the most interesting and stunning restaurantsin the International Market and all of Waikiki. Decorated with glowing pufferfish, a living wall, and a whales skeleton hanging above the bar, there’s lots of exciting décor throughout the restaurant!. Herringbone is known for their fresh seafood, with temping entrees like Mussels Tikka Spice, Whole Fish Ceviche, Sake & Ginger Beurre Blanc King Salmon, and some sizable Seafood Platters."

"The weekend brunch at Herringbone Waikīkī is exactly what you want it to be: decadent, languid and with bottomless mimosas. Standout dishes include an eggs Benedict topped with briny uni (sea urchin roe) and king crab, a New England-style lobster roll with creamy slaw and a local version of chicken and waffles with crispy mochiko chicken, chewy mochi waffles and local honey. The drink list here is extensive."
