Aloha State Bake Shop - Fort Shafter

A hidden gem located on the lower floor of the Medical Center across from NBC Arena. Private parking lot plus ample street parking. They specialize in Cheesecakes, freshly made sandwiches and salads, cream puffs, and cookies. Locally owned and operated, they use local ingredients such as the Vanilla from Laie (North Shore of Oahu). They're very friendly and efficient. Small shop so it's take out only. We arrived just as they were opening and the intoxicating smell of freshly baked Cheesecake filled the air. Simply wonderful, and the taste! Oh my light not heavy, creamy yet not overpowering, with a hint of that famous Vanilla. Incredible! A definite must try.

BEST cheesecake in Hawaii!! It's so lightly sweet and perfectly creamy. Classic vanilla, black sesame, and hojicha are all amazing. They're so addictive that I can eat a full size all by myself.Now, the service is a different situation. Every time I've been there, the employee with the glasses has been rude and unpleasant. I really dread seeing her but I keep going back because I'm telling you, that cheesecake is so darn good.

Interestingly located in the hospitals basement. We parked next door and walked over. No signs outside til you walk inside next to elevators. The cheesecake has great texture but only okay to me : the Lolol panna cotta was the best of the four I ordered to try.

The first time I've heard of Aloha State Bake Shop was when it was featured on YouTube's Amanda&FelixEats channel. Since I was stuck waiting at the Medical Arts Building, I thought I would check this place out. So I head down to the basement level and was surprised on how small, yet cute this dessert shop was. Despite it's small appearance, it offered various grab-and-go kawaii desserts such as cream puffs, cups of pana cotta, tiramisu, pudding, and slices of cheesecake. The black sesame cheese cake drew my attention and I'm glad I got it. It had that regular cheesecake flavor and texture, but with an earthy-nutty flavor, which I enjoyed. It was surprisingly delicious and decadent. It's not overly sweet, like most cheesecakes. I definitely recommend checking this place out and would likely come back to taste the other desserts.
