Kauai Kookie Bakery & Kitchen

"I was surprised, and not in a good way. First, that ube mochi was a real treat and was an unusual and positive surprise. I was expecting, based on the name and a few previous reviews that there would be fresh cookies but all they had were packaged cookies. Also, we got the impression there was coffee but they weren't serving any. Overall, the store seemed to be trying to be a lot of things to a lot of people, leaving the focus unclear. But if you want a fresh local meal, this may be your spot. But "cookie" isn't high on the list of descriptive words I would use."

"The food is extremely delicious and stands out. The workers are the kindest, always ready for help. Just sitting down makes me feel so welcome. Like I could be here for hours without a problem."

"The original cookies are delicious. A deep-fried texture, packed with a bakery aroma of subtle spices and sweetness. 3 words: Original Cinnamon Toast Done. The ambience and food could use improvement. Staff is friendly, food tastes good. The portions are manini. Loco moco for $10 gets you a small hand-sized donburi bowl, but taste is on point. Delicious and small brings back good memories in Japan. The building interior could use a lot of work. Floors are peeling off, ceilings are stained, ventilation is dusty, and the walls have seen better days. Overall, a really chill place to stop by and grab a bite, and plenty of cookies."

"Not what I was expecting. I thought there would be a case full of fresh cookies to choose from but all they had were pretty packaged cookies which are really good. They also make deli sandwiches."

"Lots of ono local food at great prices with daily specials. My favorites there are their loco moco and their roast pork plate. Their tossed green salad is served with some papaya dressing, always gotta have that with the plate."
