Mele Mele Bakery 67-456 Goodale Avenue, Waialua, HI 96791

"Nothing but good things to say about this nice little local joint. The matcha is great, sourdough immaculate, and the berry brie basil grilled cheese knocked my socks off. Can't wait to try the chocolate chip cookie. sidenote: the doors are solid wood and they keep them closed, but don't be shy about walking in haha"

"WHOA! If you are looking for a great local place do not miss this bakery. The biggest problem will be deciding what to have your first visit and then figuring out when you can come back again. For me it was easy, the minute I saw Chicken Larb, Bahn Mi on the menu I was sold. My wife ordered the Matcha Black Sesame Seed Tea and we shared. Well I shared my Bahn Mi and she offered me a sip of her sesame Matcha. Do not let the size of the place fool you they know what they are doing. So much fun! The flavors for the Bahn Mi were amazing and the bread was perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The Chicken Larb was perfectly seasoned, The Black Sesame Matcha was like what we used to get when we lived in China. A little off the beaten path but do not miss."

"It's an incredibly charming place with a stylish and hip ambiance, and the food speaks volumes. As first-timers, we indulged in the Purple drink, Pumpkin chai, Miso mushroom toast, Bao sandwich, lemon poppy lavender shortbread, and cinnamon roll. Despite the Purple drink appearing green (topped with lavender), it was surprisingly good. However, the standout favorite that ensures my repeat visits is the Miso mushroom toast – to die for! The overall experience in this quaint setting is a must-try for anyone looking to relax and savor delicious offerings."

"Best new spot on north shore and hand down best matcha I’ve ever had. They use real quality matcha from Japan and have a delicious menu of matcha latte options. Save room for the bakery items. Norwegian cinnamon bun is what dreams are made of! You can tell every inch of this space is created with so much love, heart, and soul. Dog friendly, serving homemade “woofles”.(Worth the drive from Town!)"
