Honolulu Cookie Company

This is a great place to pick up souvenir boxes of cookies to take back to the states to friends and family. I really wasn’t big on the cookies myself– I found them to be a bit too dry, but the man friend loved them and so did everyone we bought them for. They have a ton of flavors and you can sample them. The staff was very helpful.

One of my weaknesses in life is cookies. And Honolulu cookie company does not disappoint. I swear if I lived on Oahu I would probably be eating these cookies all the time and be 300 lbs or something.
I love the different varieties of these cookies. The pineapple shape is really cute as well. My favorite ones are definitely the lilioki mango, chocolate chip shortbread, white chocolate dipped kona cookie and pineapple macadamia. Actually I liked all the cookies that I tried from them. It’s so buttery and it has a good flavor. It’s not too sweet so you don’t feel overwhelmed with all the sugar. These are great gifts for souvenirs. They have some great gift boxes and you can actually pick your own cookies and whatever size box you want. The next time I’m on the island I’m definitely stocking up on some more cookies!
Total for 5 boxes: $ 45

Cookies are very tasty and has a lot of variety in terms of flavor. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The only thing to mind is that the price is quite expensive.

The perfect gift. I love that you can put together your own box. Plus these cookies are so yummy.

So here’s something that perfectly fits all the parameters of the Japanese custom of omiyage (御土産, お土産, おみやげ) — it’s edible, it is presentable as a gift, it represents Hawaii, and it’s a Hawaiian brand. Usually having to find and figure out some sort of gift for various people is really a bother (面倒くさい) and this place solves that problem with various gift box sizes. I wasn’t going to Japan or anything but I took a two week vacation at the busiest time of the quarter and I felt a little bit guilty about it. So to attempt to lessen the tension and pacify the h8ers among my coworkers (who knew I was laying on the beach while they were banging their heads and pulling late hours) I settled on the largest gift box they had. The idea of cookies was also perfect because everyone else always brings back boxes of Hawaiian Host Macadamia Nut Chocolates but I figured that would be just way too cheesy. Needless to say it was a hit and everyone made a comment about how GOOD the cookies were. Also, they were individually wrapped in plastic so everyone felt safe taking a cookie or two — little pieces of Aloha represented by delicious cookies in many varieties of flavors — what’s not to like? Conveniently located in the Ala Moana food court — I got it there figuring they might not have a location at Honolulu International Airport so I wouldn’t risk not being able to get it there last minute like I did when I was on the way to Honolulu scrambling for gifts at San Diego Airport. Parking — it’s Ala Moana — you know the drill. Very reasonably priced and you can even sample all the different flavors of cookies so you know what you’re giving is delicious and worthwhile.

I love to visit this location in the food court area of Ala Moana mall. They have samples of all of their cookies. The staff usually greets you. They give you a brief description of the most popular cookies. These are the best cookies I have ever tasted.

People are standing in line and they close one of the lines. Two employees on their break gabbing while 7 people are waiting to pay. Japanese tourists buying tons of boxes so waited15 minutes in line. Took me long
er than it took to drive over n find a parking space. Management seriously needs to attend to this!

Oh my heavens Lilikoi! Before I leave this little island I might eat up the Lilikoi supply, just so I don’t feel guilty leaving it. This place had the best cookies. I send them to my mainlander cookie addicts that can’t get this over here. I’m all of sudden the «cool girl» that lives in the Hawaii that feeds their Lilikoi fix.
Anything Mac Nut is amazing. Buy it all, as long as you coordinate with me. This is definitely a fixed part of my cheat meal. I mean, they make the cookies so that I don’t have to make a whole batch. :)

how would i describe a Honolulu Cookie Company cookie? well it’s a small bite of heaven. yes… all the flavors of heaven you can imagine. Shortbread, Dark Chocolate, Coconut, Macadamia Nut, Lilikoi, Pineapple, Mango… Triple Chocolate, Dark Chocolate Kona, Kona, Shortbread in Dark Chocolate… I’m sure any milk or dark chocolate lover can find their favorite combination. mine are the DARK CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE, DARK CHOCOLATE KONA, KONA, SHORTBREAD WITH DARK CHOCOLATE and SHORTBREAD… ok, i like the LILIKOI too!
my hubby and i chose these cookies for our wedding favors two years ago and so HCC holds a special place in our hearts. at the time of our wedding, they didn’t have many wedding favor options, but as i peruse their website recently, i noticed their new packaging for WEDDINGS! well i wish they had had these elegantly wrapped items two years ago… nonetheless, this is wonderful news for couples getting married now! i highly recommend these cookies for any special occasion! they are elegant, delicious, and the perfect aloha cookie!
my most recent experience with HCC was when i recently placed an order for my hubby while he was working in Honolulu. Stephanie assisted me with my order and since it was less than a week away from Christmas, she offered to personally deliver my package to the hubby who was staying at the Ala Moana Hotel, just across from the parking lot. i was so pleasantly surprised that Stephanie offered to go out of her way and make a personal delivery for my main man and help make our Christmas apart special. it was an especially busy time and i was so grateful for her help.
i will always be a fan of Honolulu Cookie Company! truly… forever and ever! amen!

Yum! Cookies. Stopped in to try their newest flavor –gingerbread spice. Also grabbed a lovely holiday box to send home to mom on the mainland. Love that they have samples of their cookies in a variety of flavors.

Going to Hawaii and need a gift for a loved one or coworker? Forget about anything made out of coconuts since it takes up too much room. Instead, get macadamia nut cookies at Honolulu Cookie Company. It makes for the perfect gift because they are easy to transport, everyone loves cookies, and the prices are reasonable.
They have a variety to choose from pineapple to white chocolate and even some with no nuts for those with food allergies. Can’t decide which one? There are samples up by the front door. One of the employees informed me that the cookies are made in Oahu so you’re also supporting the local economy.
Buy the cookies at an actual Honolulu Cookie Company location. You’ll see them at other places but they might be more expensive.

Always a highlight for guests to the Islands. Not too sweet and not so little that you are grabbing for more. On Molokai– some of the teachers would always bring back some of these for the rest of us chilling on Molokai just to share.
The servers are very friendly — and they are helpful too all the customers– there are more than a few girls working there and it is helpful as it seems on just normal days that business is booming for the small cookie company. Being different is good as you can try out some of the newer cookies and sample some of the favorites too.

Hubs and I were seated in front of the kiosk, and we noticed that this place was insanely busy. We wanted to see what the hype was about so we took advantage of some free samples. And boy, these were some good cookies.
The cookies are gourmet shortbread type. They’re like Girl Scout Trefoils or Lorna Doone, but better… and more expensive! I wasn’t able to drop $ 50 on cookies but I did purchase the al a A La Cart box of 5 cookies for $ 4.50. My favorites were:
Butter Macadamia, Pineapple Macadamia, and White Chocolate Coconut. All three flavors are butter, crisp, and very tasty.
If I visit HI again I’ll definitely be back.

I want to try EVERY cookie here. They have quite a few cookies with chocolate or coffee. I also got Lilikoi with chocolate. There is macadamia white chocolate. Pineapple. A lot of them are in the shape of a pineapple. You can build your own box of cookies! Yay. Perfect to take home or have with a cup of coffee or tea, or to give your kids a small treat for being good at the mall :)

Who does not like Honolulu Cookie Company?! I am very amazed by their business strategy.
1)They require little space for their stores.
2)They have store stamp cards which is so easy to collect and receive a free gift. They give you one stamp for each 5 dollar spent and for 10 stamps you get a small bag of cookies and for 20 you get a medium sized gift box.
3)They always have samples of each flavor.
4)They even have water dispenser when you get thirsty trying all the cookies! (only select stores… not available at this particular location)
Their cookies come in lots of varieties and a great souvenir from Hawaii :) Oh I alsmot forgot to mention… Their cookis are great of course. My most favorite is Kona coffe white chocolate cookie.

Love their products. All good.
Makes great gifts.
But I like Big Island Cookies better.

I actually liked this Honolulu Cookie Company location better than the actual store. This was just a kiosk in the Food Court of the Ala Moana mall, but it surprisingly had more flavors to sample, and the same types of cookie packaging and also the build your own cookie flavors box! I also liked that they give you a stamp card for your purchases, and you can earn free gifts if you get a certain number of stamps– and the stamp cards never expire!
Overall, highly recommended that you stop by and check out the cookies at Honolulu Cookie Company. My favorites are the Guava and Chocolate & White Chocolate covered Macadamia Nut, but the bf and his family loved the White Chocolate Kona Coffee flavor. These cookies aren’t cheap (a build your own large assorted box costs $ 12.95 for 20 cookies), but this is a souvenir everyone will appreciate receiving!

My friends and family on the mainland always request, nay, DEMAND that I bring home dozens and dozens of cookies from HCC every Christmas. I’m happy to oblige and here’s why:
1. Lots of flavors, some plain and some chocolate dipped. No one’s going to judge me if I pick out a box of Dark Chocolate Coconut for myself, right?
2. The packaging is ridiculously cute. Or sophisticated. Or chic. The variety to fit every occasion is what’s so great about this place.
3. Rewards card! Get a stamp for every $ 5 spent and at $ 50 you get a small gift bag of cookies and at $ 100 you get a decent size gift box which is actually really nice.
4. Free samples! Do I even need to buy any cookies after all that?

These cookies are one of the rare tourist traps which I will happily go along with. Why? Because the fatty in me can never pass up the alluring sample bins of glorious shortbread cookies! My favorites contain lilikoi, but I can never sample just one flavor: x Yesterday, I purchased a small box to send to a friend on the mainland. It fit perfectly in one of those small flat rate boxes at the post office :)

Came to this kiosk to pick up some cookies to bring back to the mainland as gifts. Since these were a special request, there had to be something special about them. To be honest, Im not a cookie fan. So these to me were good, better than average type cookies. This kiosk played a video which showed where the cookies came from and how they were made. Service was great, presentation of the cookies were awesome and variety was good as well.
So why am I giving it 3 stars… Well, they’re cookies. And to pay $ 22 – 24 dollars for a box of cookies is a bit extreme for me. Don’t get me wrong, giving them as gifts to people were great since this is exactly what they wanted and it fulfilled every dream they had of getting them. I just know I wouldn’t get these for myself when I can get something similar for half the price. But as gifts, the price is a non-​issue.
