Bleu Cupcakery

I love, love, love cupcakes so I just had to stop in after seeing Bleu Cupcakery while leaving Starbucks. The décor is very pretty and love all the Owls they have as decorations. There were still many selections to choose from including a few of «yesterday’s» flavors for a discounted price. Prices are very reasonable compared to cupcake places in Oahu. I ordered 5 cupcakes. (Mango Li Hing Mui, Red Velvet, Vanilla, Chantilly, and Strawberry Guava) my favorites were the mango Li hing, strawberry guava and Chantilly. The Mango Li hing was a white cupcake filled with mango and topped with cream cheese frosting and topped with mango drizzle and Li hing powder. I was worried it would be too tart but was pleasantly surprised at how well the flavors went together. The strawberry guava was filled with yummy guava filling and was moist and delicious. The Chantilly was topped on a moist chocolate cake and was absolutely delicious! I’ll definitely be back. Their cupcake creations are not only beautiful but sinfully delish as well.

I really love the cupcakes here. The cake is so moist and the icing is so good! We got the red velvet, vanilla, chocolate & Kona something. All were consistently very light/​fluffy and with the perfect combination of taste to satisfy your buds!
Place is really clean and presentable but parking can be a lottery depends on what time you get there. Good service too!

Tried this little cupcake shop for the first time today, and was really impressed!
Ordered 6 cupcakes total, 5 different kinds.
Hummingbird — Pineapple, banana coconut. A good typical flavored cake with a really good tasting buttercream frosting with coconut flakes. The frosting was standout, not too sweet, with a great flavor.
Red Velvet — Tasted like the original old school red velvet I remember as a child (which is really hard to find these days)! Frosting is cream cheese, and kinda tangy, not too sweet which is good.
Passion Lilikoi — Cake has a nice subtle flavor and the frosting with glaze is very lilikoi.
Chocolate w/​Vanilla — cake is good, frosting is pretty sweet, but still really yummy, I’m surprised I loved it so much!
Fruity Pebbles — surprisingly my favorite! Cake is like a vanilla with sprinkles type, but it’s frosting was like whipped cream with finely chopped fruity pebbles strewn throughout. IT WORKS! I couldn’t get enough of the frosting. I did however, find myself picking out the fruity pebbles that topped the frosting simply because it was a bit stale (having been exposed to the air) and kinda took away from the frosting.
If I were to order 100 cupcakes from here, I’d order the Fruity Pebbles, less the Fruity Pebbles on the frosting. THAT, would be a rave at any party, and the compliments would be endless!
This shop makes really good, home-​made quality cupcakes. To me, the frosting makes a good cupcake. You can have a great cake, but with bad frosting, no one remembers the cake! And on the flip side, you can have a bad cake, that’s saved by a really good frosting, IMHO. WTBS, their frostings are awesome… and their cakes are good too, perfect crumb.
Far better than the popular Hokulani Shop on Oahu, and better than many cupcake shops I’ve tried in California too. Hope this place stays around for a long time.

Amazing customer service! I called today last minute needing 70 cupcakes for tomorrow. I got a return call right away and I got my order in. Yes, I will have 70 cupcakes tomorrow for my work event. Mahalo Bleu Cupcake

I went here with super high expectations because the cupcakes look really yummy, but was let down by the actual taste and texture. The cake was dry and the frosting was average. But I might be a harsh critic because coming from Utah we have outstanding cupcake stores. I definitely would not recommend this to any of my friends.

Went there yesterday on our way back to the hotel at 4pm. Not too much to choose from. When I questioned the counter girl about it, she said yeah we usually sell out. They close at 6pm and at 4pm had maybe 3 dozen cupcakes left to sell. We would have bought more but there were only 3 flavors left.
I will say the Kona coffee frosted ones were delish!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Today I went in to order cupcakes for a birthday party. Cameron was so sweet and helpful in explaining the daily specials. I took home the Lilikoi, Carrot Cake, Triton (Neopolitan) and Vanilla to share with friends. We quartered them and were in for a surprise there was the flavor in the center! Everyone got a nibble of all the flavors, they were licking the plates! For the party we ordered Guava/​Lilikoi and Kona Velvet. You cannot go wrong with any of the flavors. Next time I want the Maple Bacon! Just the right ratio of frosting to cake and reasonable prices (start at $ 2.00) for homemade high quality desserts. If you’re getting married or throwing a big party, they even do wedding and bigger sized cakes! It’s a MUST eat when you’re in Kona!

We stopped by this wonderful bakery today specifically to try their Lilikoi cupcake.
It did not disappoint.
That cupcake was everything we could dream of in a tropical flavored treat, with one exception. That being, it could have been a bit larger for the $ 3.00 charged, hence a one star demerit.
Outside of that, we savored every bite, wishing it would never end.
Can’t wait to try a chocolate and/​or mocha next time.

I have been buying cupcakes here from before they even opened! I have been a regular customer since day one! I don’t think we will be going back! I try not to write bad reviews but had horrible experience with new worker. My child spilled milk, blonde worker made her clean it all up. And wouldn’t even refill the milk! I was embarrassed and didn’t mind my child helping to clean. But to have her clean the entire mess and not even refill the milk is beyond ridiculous!

FANTASTIC!!! I love cupcakes & these were the best!!! The shop is adorable & clean. The staff was friendly and knowledge. We had a vanilla & a kona both were outstanding & moist. The frosting is what set these cupcakes apart, it is light & airy, yet still buttercream. I’ve had a lot of cupcakes & ive never had anything quite like this.

Their salted caramel and red velvet is so tasty! Frosting they use are not too sweet! Each day they offer different flavors. Too bad we’re here for a few days.

Bleu Cupcakery is a total gem and needs to be recognized for their amazing products. I, like most of us, stumbled upon this place via Unilocal and by word of mouth and boy am I glad I did.
Bleu Cupcakery has a set menu for each day of the week as well as their standard flavors available daily. Bleu Cupcakery has a signature cream cheese frosting that is used as a vehicle for flavoring and topping most of their cakes. Their signature cream cheese frosting is divine and they capitalized on that all the way to the bank lol.
I tried pretty much every flavor and only disliked one and that was the hummingbird cupcake with a white chocolate frosting. To me the hummingbird was lacking in flavor and tradition. A traditional southern hummingbird cake is made with bananas and pineapples folded into your cake with nuts and none of that was present in their variant at Bleu Cupcakery. However, every other flavor was AMAZING!!! These are some of the most moist, mouth watering cupcakes I’ve ever had. My favorites consist of the guava, guava dragon fruit, chantilly, dobash, salted caramel and the RED VELVET. I put emphasis on the red velvet because it’s a must try no matter what! I am forever bound by their cream cheese spell and cupcake curse so I’ll be coming here for the rest of my life lol. My defensive magic was no match for their divine treats and my credit card folded at the feet of the temptress known as Bleu Cupcakery! Lol!

This place is a must try for their cupcake frosting! It’s so light and flavorful. I think the actual cupcake was on the drier side, but that is a personal choice based on each individual’s preference. They have cool flavors available dependent on the day of the week. Be aware that they make a certain amount per day so if you go late in the day you may have limited selection. The first time we went they only have three cupcakes left– however they were all lilikoi/​guava/​strawberry (that’s one flavor) and it was delicious! My bf also tried the maple bacon and thought it was delicious. Try at least once!

Sadly we were not able to try Bleu Cupcakery because the unapologetic staff would not let my husband in even though it was 15 minutes prior to close. DiD I mention that it was a pregnancy craving to have a cupcake while vacationing on the big island? Big No No Bleu Cupcakery! Not very customer oriented! You have posted times for a reason!!!

We are used to eating Sprinkles cupcakes in Houston. This place is better! The other great reviews are spot on. Cute place and very tasty not overly sugary cupcakes. I had a Birthday cake one, vanilla with chocolate inside and a pink frosting. Wife never eats this stuff but had a Lili’koi that had cream cheese in the middle — I ate most of both!
Have to be careful not to make this a habit, but is a great place!

Keiki is a cupcake expert/​snob. She ordered the chocolate cocnut cupcake with marshmallow frosting… gone in 5 seconds! The cupcakes at Bleu are moist and the flavors are creative but not too… exotic (lack of a better word). Awesome!

Desserts, I love you.
And most especially, Bleu.
This cupcakery sure knows what they’re doing, and you won’t doubt it once you get a bite of their creations.
Strawberry guava was superb! As was the red velvet.
Sadly, we left our other two flavors in the hotel room so we lost out. But I am for sure hitting up this spot next time I’m in town again!
The ladies that run this joint are as sweet as the cupcakes they bake, and we got a chance to talk to one of them while waiting for the treats to be put on display.

The only problem with this place is that it’s on the wrong island! It needs to be on Maui to show other bakeries what a real cupcake is supposed to taste and look like.
I stopped here twice on my 4 day trip, grabbing 4 cupcakes each time (and gaining 6 pounds per day, ha!) because it is that good.
The store is absolutely adorable and cute and something I would not expect in a «small» place such as Kona. The service is very friendly and helpful.
Let’s talk about the cupcakes. For me, they were perfect. Moist, fluffy, tasty, frosting just the right consistency and sweetness (Not too sugary at all) and the perfect size. My absolute favorite was the Chantilly Cake Cupcake, however the Guava, Birthday Cake and Plain Vanilla were absolutely delicious too! Who knew that a simple Vanilla Cupcake could be so good???
This is a must try if you are visiting Kona.

I rolled up to this spot almost an hour after they closed. I saw one of the workers standing behind the counter so I’m thinking «let me check this out and see if I can score»
I scored. Not only did I score cupcakes for my birthday girl but I also scored a plethora of knowledge on where to get hooked up with the best shaved ice and the best fresh poke.
Locals information is the best information. The cupcakes were great. I let my daughter eat one on the 45 minute drive back to our hotel. She ate the huge pillow of frosting on top and was totally so happy. I asked her what it tasted like and she said «it just tastes good, I don’t even know what it tastes like.» I was so happy that I was able to get my daughter some desert on her birthday, it had been a long day of traveling from San Francisco.
Big thank you to the really nice guy working there, you totally rock!

Cupcakes were delicious we tried the banana, red velvet and maple bacon wow yum! I really liked that the frosting wasn’t too sweet and the texture of the cupcakes were nice and moist. The location was convenient and shop itself was cute and clean.
