Sugarlina Bakeshop

I just LOVE Sugarlina cupcakes. The product is always fresh, tasty, and beautiful.
First, Cupcakes: My personal favorite is the lemon cupcake, but my kids love pretty much all of them. I don’t think we’ve tried anything that hasn’t gone over well. Actually, we got a couple Valentine’s specials that were almost a little TOO amazing (rose petal?) that were delicious and decadent and had to be shared. But that’s pretty much the worst thing I can say about the cupcakes. The cake itself is moist, fluffy, and flavorful. The frostings are creamy, well flavored (the raspberry has actual chunks of berry in it), and Sugarlina has managed to achieve the (near) impossible ~ perfect cake to frosting ratio.
Second, Macarons: Also delicious. If you’re going to pick ONE to try, you have to try the cotton candy. They put sugar crystals in the frosting before they place the cookie top on. Gives it a texture of actual cotton candy. And the flavor is sweet with just that little bit of tart that cotton candy has. The other flavors are good, but that one is just phenomenal. Their vanilla is well flavored, not overpowering, but enough there to make it memorable. And the strawberry cheesecake is on point. The cookies have the perfect outer crust, and inner chew and the filling is fluffy and well whipped.
Last, Service: Again, high marks. The gals I’ve met here have always been sweet and helpful. Always willing to recommend something to try, or what their favorite of the day is. They are even kind enough to ask my kiddos which topping shape or color they want for their cupcakes when there’s more than one decoration style available (blue flowers or sugar dipped for example). That kind of thing means a lot to my boys, since a PINK (shudder) cupcake might just END. THEIR. WORLD (enter sarcasm). ha ha. The ladies are always gracious when my seven year old wants «the one in front» because it’s blue and «has more frosting» than the one with the red in the back, etc.
One Caveat: Beware of closing time. Officially, it’s 9pm most days (I’m pretty sure anyways). But there are days when we’ve gone close to that and they’ve already shut down for the day. I’m not talking 8:59 or anything where it could be a difference of clocks, but more like 8:40 — 8:45. I totally get wanting to get outta there early on a slow night, but it’s a bummer when you’re craving a cupcake, you call ahead to verify the closing time, and to show up before closing and to have them not be around. It’s happened to a couple of my friends too, so it’s not like I smell funny or anything :)
Overall:
LOVE it. LOVE the product. LOVE the staff. And will continue getting their baked goods as long as we live here!

Delicious and beautiful! Got these beauties from a dear friend and I just had to have one (I am always in diet/​lifestyle change mode). I can’t wait to try more of their goodies!

Cupcakes are too sweet and overpriced for an «ok» product. I didn’t like their chocolate or red velvet. It took over a week for my family to go through a dozen. We ended up throwing at least 4 of them away. Definitely not coming back.

Sugarlina is my love. Not only are the cupcakes the best thing ever! RED VELVET my absolute FAVE! The cream cheese frosting is Freaking amazing. The cake is moist and just perfect in every way.
Service is always on point. They have very nice ladies working here.
For the past 4 years I have raved about Sugarlina to my friends and family. It was just recently that I discovered the magic of their BANANA PUDDING!!! OMG! It’s so amazing. I crave it so much. I usually have to call early in the day to order mine and my husbands because these bad boys will sell out! It’s very depressing when you want a banana amaze balls pudding and they are sold out.
All around win! LOVE LOVE LOVE SUGARLINA.

With rave reviews, I had high hopes. The only thing I was impressed with was the presentation of the cupcake. The cake was moist but it had an overbearing starchy taste to it. The frosting was ok but nothing to write home about. I have the biggest sweet tooth but I couldn’t even bring myself to eat an entire cupcake.

This is a very cute and nicely decorated cupcakes shop in the middle of the strip mall. Imagine everything is white and pastel colors and the cupcakes are so cute that I almost didn’t want to eat them. I got the chocolate Smore’s cupcakes which is topped with a toasted marshmallow. It’s decently priced at 3 to 4 dollars per cupcake and they have herbal teas or free water. I wish they would serve espresso or coffee to go with the cake. Otherwise this is a great place to grab a quick snack if you’re in the area.

Adorable décor, and friendly service. Delicious cupcakes! Although Red Velvet is my all-​time favorite, Sugarlina’s Salted Caramel is a huge hit! They have a great variety and ample parking right out front. Great place to pick up a bunch of treats for parties/​large groups. Walked-​in a picked up a dozen cupcakes that were boxed up very quickly. Love it!

Having eaten cupcakes all around the US and the world (when one is stumbled on), Sugarlina cupcakes are amongst the best! It’s not easy to find cupcakes that are very moist, delicious and fairly sweet. The majority are a bit dry, so-​so in flavor and way too sweet. Sugarlina’s is overall very tasty, delicately sweet and even the frosting has the right amount of sugar. There’s many different flavors to choose from and each day carries certain batches. If you go too late in the day, they may run out of your favorites. For macaroon fans, beautiful colors and flavors are available as well. The shop is cute, snow white clean and inviting. Free lemon water and seating to enjoy your treat is a plus!

I am not much of a cupcake person until I had a taste of Sugarlina’s. So yummy, moist and delicious. My kids love their macaroons. We go here once a week.

Walked into this shop while waiting for my other half in Sprint. It’s a cute little shop. Ended up buying 6 cupcakes for our family. It was OK! Nothing super about it, I think Sams club ones tastes better. The only thing I liked about their cupcakes is the cute designs but nothing else.

Stopped in after having lunch with our fingers crossed that they still had banana pudding in stock. Luckily they they did! If you haven’t tried it, make it a must! Pudding is layered with fresh bananas and vanilla wafers. As for the cupcakes take home their cupcake schedule as they rotate through flavors during the week. Cupcakes are the best around, they are served closer to room temperature than other cupcake shops. As for the macarons they serve, cookie part is a little too soft, no bite to them and if you like too-​sweet, they definitely hit that spot!

What a sweet find. Beautiful and delicious cupcakes and macarons. Surprisingly loved the honeydew melon macaron! Will be stopping by here when im in the area!

I’ve tried many cupcake spots, but Sugarlina has to be one of my faves.
We came in about an hour before closing so there really wasn’t much to choose from. There was only flavor of macaron (green tea) which wasn’t so bad. I always told my self that when it comes to desserts the pretty ones never do taste good. But these cupcakes had flavor, it was moist, and the frosting wasn’t «too overwhelming.»
The interior of the location was clean. The bright lights really captures the desserts well.

This is my second or third time trying Sugarlina products, but the first time visiting the shop. I remembered their desserts were good so I dropped in while in the area. The store itself is small but clean, sparsely but cutely decorated. The staff was friendly. The worker did not mind that I took forever to choose which cupcake to sample, they all were decorated so beautifully for Christmas. It was difficult to pick!
I ended up getting a vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting. The cupcake itself was extremely moist and flavorful. Some of the best cupcake I’ve ever had. The chocolate frosting was smooth and yummy, but a bit overpowering in sweetness and flavor compared to the vanilla cake portion. It is a little unfortunate considering how amazing the cake tasted, so I ended up eating a lot of the frosting first then going in to eat the cake after. Perhaps scaling back on the amount of frosting applied on top, at least for the chocolate frosting, might benefit the balance of the cupcake as a whole. That way all flavors can be enjoyed and tasted in each bite.
Overall my Sugarlina experience was wonderful and the cupcakes are very delicious. I can’t wait to go back!

Best cupcakes I have ever had hands down.
Wil be coming back.
Super clean little shop.
And friendly staff.
Prices are alright but your paying for quality and flavor so is understandable.
Will they could make cakes doe

Tucked into a shopping mall along busy Kamehameha Highway in Aiea, I never would have known this place was there if it had not been for the sneaky suggestion of my travel companion! I’m glad we stopped for cupcakes; it’s always a happy suggestion and delicious activity!
Sugarlina has free parking in the shopping center and is easy to get to along the highway. The shop is very cute and minimal; it is simply a cupcake shop with cupcakes. They are immaculately decorated and presented. The to-​go boxes were perfect with holders to ensure they don’t fall over in transit. The shop has little tables and chairs for those who cannot wait to get home to eat. I love any place that makes my travel companion happy, so this place is excellent in my book.

Treated ourselves to some goodies after a day of shopping! The shop is small and decorated really nice. Love the simple wall panels and light fixtures. The delightful treats are so good! Just wish there was a way to transport them on a plane to share with love ones where we live. My favorite cupcake was the mango lilikoi it was light and moist. The macaroons had a crisp outer shell and chewing middle as they should… very good! We will be going back next time we visit.

The little cupcake store that thinks it can!
Stopped in after lunch with my crazy Asian friends and sushi at Tadashi’s. The best way to fill the little spot left in your tummy is a cupcake of your choice at Sugarlina in Pearl Kai. Just a few steps from our lunch spot, air conditioned with a couple of little tables to finish the lunch conversation and polish off a cupcake or macaroon.
Because I was going straight home I bought a mix of Red Velvet with cream cheese frosting, mango with lilikoi frosting, s’mores and vanilla with chocolate frosting. Cupcakes are $ 2.95 each and $ 33.00 for a dozen. Seems spends until you put it in perspective. Try a restaurant and a slice of cake or pie. Buy a cake at a bakery to feed twelve.
I like cupcakes and being able to mix them up is making everyone happy. I’ll be back for another sweet treat soon.

So good!
Located in Pearl Kai Shopping Center, B suggested we try this place out. Service is friendly and they wrap/​plate everything so neatly. My eyes were glued at how colorful these cupcakes and macarons were. Little seating is available inside. I appreciate how neat and organized the bakery is. The simple clean décor is very nice. They also have cold lemon water on a counter so you can help yourself. Nice touch.
These cupcakes and macarons taste as good as they look. The icing on the cupcake was flavorful, light, smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet. The cake was fluffy, flavorful, light, and smooth as well. Perfect! Their Cotton Candy Macaron was a party in my mouth. It wasn’t overly sweet as I thought it would be. It had a light cotton candy flavor and the cookie was well prepared. Lightly crisp on the outside and cake within. A generous size and serving of creamy goodness inside. Another winner.
If only I lived in Hawaii…

I’ve always wondered where Sugarlina was located, though I never bothered to look it up on Unilocal till my friend from out of town wanted to try it since people been raving about it on social media. Its such a cute little place with all the different desserts in the showcase that makes you want to try everything. The ambiance is clean and welcoming along with the workers there.
We didn’t know what to choose so we chose all the different flavors of macarons that was offered in the window case. All of them were delish and I like how they had a variety of unique flavors that they had. My favorite was probably tahitian vanilla bean. Definitely will return if I’m in the area again to satisfy my sweet tooth.
