Uber Factory

Über Factory is an wonderful local business that has taken the amazing flavors of Hawaii and put their own twist on it. They have packaged little bites of pure aloha in to these amazing tarts. My favorites are the Ube and Pistachio tarts and I recommend you eat them frozen or slightly thawed.
The store front is tough to find as it is hidden on the side of the building with no real signage. However, if you invest the time to find this hidden gem your tastebuds will be greatly rewarded.
Tips:
1. They are cash only
2. Parking is a challenge so have someone drive you so they can drop you off if needed.
3. Check Facebook as they update it late the night before with which specialty flavors they will have that day.
4. If you want any of the other flavor tarts besides ube you need to show up right when they open as they sell out quick
5. They are only open Saturday and Sunday, but always check Facebook to be sure

Truly a unique, tasty, flavorful original dessert! The Chef and creator has won many awards for his unique dessert creations and is very well known in Oahu’s culinary world. Some have tried to duplicate this decadent treat, but his is one you can’t compete with and no comparison… as the recipe is only known to him! Two thumbs up and definitely a must try! Factory has limited hours located in Wahiawa and only open Saturday & Sunday’s from 8−2pm! Pre-​order on Facebook, look for Über Factory or go early!

As I was driving, I imagined the line to be super long. But there was no line. Got there around 0915. I was able to get the flavors of this week, which was mango boba butt and pistachio de la crème. Flavor of the week was $ ¹²⁄₈ pieces. Regular über was $ ¹⁰⁄₈ pieces. The mango boba butt is outta this world! It was worth the $$$. If your visiting, this is a place you must go. You can even purchase the frozen tarts to bring back home. Thanks to Chef Andy for making hawaii a more pleasurable place to live!

Über Factory. I just imagine a number of purple minions working in the back of the store cranking out thousands of ube tarts every hour. And singing while they work!
I heard about the Über Factory on Instagram and I craved a tart when I first saw a picture of the buttery crust tarts with intensely purple-​colored filling.
The store is tiny and you can’t spot it from the street. Über Factory is less than a factory and more like a commercial kitchen with ready-​prepared tarts in bentos. Each set is already packed with 4 large or 8 smaller frozen tarts. Eat them quickly because they are best eaten cold! I’ve tried their kalamansi key lime tarts and ube tarts and both are best eaten almost frozen. Once they thaw down, the tarts are soft and texture helps to make these things great!
They post pics on facebook/​instragram of available flavors and store hours.
Unfortunately, its cash only, no mixing flavors and no can buy a single tart.

If you don’t fall in love with these tarts your tastebuds may be broken. It’s best to place an order because they sell out fast (so fast I haven’t tried any of their specialty flavors yet.) If you drive by during business hours and it looks like they’re closed don’t make any assumptions, chances are they’re probably open. The décor inside is really cute, purple suits them perfectly… and the aroma is absolutely delightful! I don’t usually care for desserts or sweets but I LOVE UBER TARTS!

Before this place opened up, the only way to get these delicious mini Ube tarts was to email the Chef and then wait a few months for him to acknowledge you so you can tell him you want to order those tarts. He was the chef that invented the Ube pancakes at Yogurstory.
Now you can order these for a special occasion or holiday. They come by the pack and they are so tiny, but that’s probably a good thing because if they were bigger, if probably eat more.
The Ube tart is sweet, but not too sweet and brings out that sweet potato, Ube flavor out. The crust for the tart is not too crispy and not too soft. I would probably eat these all the time if I could

Its Ono ! Must have to try this place! I got the original über tart and Super yummy! It is little pricey but worth it! Not too sweet! These little things are heaven taste! It is addicting! Nice for tourists and visitors to try on the island! Better to pre order on their Facebook page and open only on Saturday/​Sunday. Take note! Cash only. Visit their Facebook page for more info.

I love tarts.
I love ube.
I love desserts.
I love mini things.
What exactly is this Über tart thing? I’ve never had it or heard of it or seen it. I was browsing social media for puto flan, but everyone I’ve used in the past is on vacation or traveling. Some how, these guys popped up in my facebook feed. They had a 4.9 out of five stars at the time, so it must be good! I had so many questions, but not much answers. Maybe you have questions too. Continue reading, maybe you’ll find an answer to your questions.
In my option, The original über is a different twist with a Filipino-​taste ube dessert slash custard texture in a wonderfully made tart crust. It’s a 2 – 3 bite tart, depending how much you like in your mouth. But take small bites, savor the flavor. Many people say it’s good frozen. I liked it both ways, refrigerated or frozen. If frozen before your flight, it should be good to travel up to six hours. Put it in a cooler bag with an ice pack. Located in Wahiawa, near Olive Restaurant and Killer tacos, next to where Quiznos used to be. It’s a tiny shop, and they have a white door, different than their neighbors blacked out glass doors. They’re only open Saturday and Sunday 8am until they run out. As of this listing date 6÷4÷16, their 8 pack Ube is $ 10, 8 pack boba mango was $ 12. I expected to spend $ 40 but ended up buying $ 80 worth. Glad I did since we devoured one tray in ten minutes. You can pre-​order on their Facebook page Über Factory. We went on a Saturday at 8:45am. There was no line and only one other customer purchasing. I was in an out in three minutes. Definitely a must to eat and bring to your mainland Ohana.

What is an über tart?
Über means excellence or supreme example. It’s the cream of the crop. Well we all know what a tart is. Is it accurate to say these «über tarts» are the Supremely most excellent tart I have ever tasted?
Yes, they are pretty damn good. The addiction is real. You take a bite and you are hooked. ESPECIALLY if you LOVE ube! They have new flavors too! Pistachio, kulolo coconut crunch, tootsie roll and more!
Where do you get some?
You will be required to have social media if you want to pre order. Like them on Facebook and be on the lookout for the flyer with dates they are opened. At the moment, they are only open on Saturday with very LIMITED supply for walk in customers.
What sets them apart?
Über Factory keeps it simple. There are similar tarts in town (not ube flavor tho) but the crust just doesn’t taste the same and you don’t get that perfect blend of sweetness. The original tarts are great fresh and taste great frozen too.
Overall, my kids, neighbors and friends rave about these. They just can’t get enough. I have ordered the max of 50 each time, and it never lasts more than a day in my household of 5. I love the flavor because it is not too sweet. I love that it is different and something I can brag about that the mainland don’t have. So if you are looking for your next Hawaii made souvenir/​treat, this would be it!
Things to note:
Preorder if you REALLY want them
CASH ONLY. Don’t bring your plastic it means nothing
Parking is limited/​Bring a friend to drive you OR be prepared to park far and walk.
Don’t let anyone else know you are going or they will try to steal a few from you.

DAMN!!! THESE LIL’THANGS ARE ONO! My favorite is the original, but comes in other flavors depending on what the chef has in mind. Today, we bought original, pistachio, kulolo & caramel. These little pieces of HEAVEN taste better if they come out of the freezer. Amazingly, these things don’t get hard like ice cubes… thinking what else besides alcohol doesn’t freeze? Only, the Kulolo flavor froze a little, but was still able to bite through got of the freezer.
So, this place isn’t open all the time and they post their openings on Facebook. You need to message them how many tarts you want and that order is only for the original flavor. They come in boxes of 8, 25, or 50. The 8 is $ 12, the 25 is $ 30, and the 50 is $ 60. The other flavors are a 1^st come, 1^st serve basis and sold in 8 packs including the original till they are all sold out!!!
If you’re curious, or already have tasted some of these you better go when they do open and get you some. Or you can pre-​order (message on FB or
) your boxes and that way you’ll have you’re stash and won’t have to wait in line to hopefully get these. Remember to state your name, phone#, request of how many of either 25 or 50 count boxes and for which opening day they’ll be ready and time of pick up. Those days are posted on there FB page. Seems like too much trouble? Shoots, no need get’um cause would be more for us! Hahaha… Brah, they are worth the time and money! Grind On! Pau!

Had to try this place after everyone raved about it. LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! I’ve let my family try it they all love it too! I love the original. It’s not too sweet; just enough with a little creaminess to it. I’ve had the Caramel too. It was too much caramel for me. The crust is always perfect. Flaky, buttery, perfection!
Make sure you get there early if you are just picking up a pack or two for snacks! CASH ONLY!!!

This was my favorite dessert place that I went to while on the island. Note you will need to pre order on their Facebook to insure you get what you want. Try doing it two weeks ahead for the Saturday you want to pick up.
I only bought the über and Mac daddy.
Both really awesome. Theirs a limit of 5 items per person and I saw plenty of purple purchasing that limit.

Seriously only after picking it up after less than 5 minutes ago, here I am writing a review because it’s that’s good! I just ate two pieces and I’m about to eat more!!! My mom bought 5 of the 10 piece tray and even thought it’s $ 10 for one, it is totally worth it!!!
I love ube, and the chef who invented this is amazing! And I’m even more happy that it’s in Wahiawa!
It’s not overwhelmingly sweet and it’s just right! The tart matches with the consistency of the ube and you won’t stop eating them till it’s gone. So make sure to preorder or they will sell out! :)

OHMYGAWWWDDD. That is what you will say when you have your first ube tart. These wonderful, little tarts are pricey, but worth it! Your family or friends will love you for sharing this treat with them.
The Über Factory is only open on Saturdays and takes orders through their Facebook page. You will need to wait for a confirmation before you can get excited about receiving your tarts. Sometimes you can chance going to their Wahiawa location and they will have extra, but you never know! These things go fast. Splurge for the larger packs because everyone is going to want 2−3+ tarts.

Warning:
Do not post your Über tarts photos on social media, (Instagram/​FB)
You will get tons of texts after,
«Where is my über tarts?»
«Why didn’t you tell me you were going to Über Factory?»
«When you go next time, pick up my order»
«Do you have any über tarts left?»
«save me some Über tarts!’ (These are my Über tart texts.)
NO! NO! Just post your Über pics, so everyone can get their hands on this Über goodness!
Another Warning: these über tarts are very potent, eating one is just teasing yourself, you can’t eat just one!
What is Über Tarts?
To me, eating these über tart reminds me of the little custard @ dim sum but except its Ube.
The filling is Ube, creamy & so good & the crust taste like short bread cookies.
This together is the most perfect combination ever!
Great invention Chef Andy!

2016 #7/​100 Unilocal Challenge

My uncle brought home a box of Ube tarts a few days ago and we all absolutely fell in love with them! Every bite is an indulgence of the right amount of Ube sweetness and buttery crust that just melts in your mouth. We prefer to eat them frozen; it enhances the dessert experience and the tart maintains its perfect consistency. They are extremely addicting and it’s hard to eat just one! Make sure you have Facebook, though! Orders are placed as Facebook messages and you are able to choose pickup dates and times. Ensure that you receive confirmation of your order and you’re in for a real treat. They’re perfect for any time of day and would be a welcome addition to any potluck occasion. We’ll definitely be back to pick up some more in the near future.

It’s not too difficult to find this place if you’re familiar with the area. If you’re not familiar, look for Café Olive or STN Surfer’s Coffee Bar the little parking lot next to it is where you want to go.
I learned about this place thanks to my brother and Unilocal.I do love ube flavored things, so I had to give this a try. Especially since it’s so close to home! They have limited walk-​in packs available, but I suggest preordering. It’s super easy and they answer fairly quickly.
On to the tarts. Totemo oishii desu yo! I wish I had ordered more. They’re like little pieces of (purple) heaven. The ube flavor that I know and love is there and it’s perfectly matched with the tart crust.
I wish they were opened on weekdays too, but it’s probably better for my health and wallet this way. I don’t know if I’d be able to resist the temptation of going every day.
Can’t wait to get some more!

I’ve seen these cute little tarts on Instagram and was wondering where to get them. Lo and behold it’s very close to where I live. Yay for that!
My sister picked up an order for some Ube tarts. If you want to order you’ll have to check out their Facebook page. Make sure you read the instructions for ordering. They’re only open on Saturday and they have a limited number of packs for walk ins.
Our first time trying these good and OH MY these tarts are SO GOOD! 8 of theses aren’t enough and you’ll probably fight everyone for them. Their wonderful, creamy,
Ube goodness is definitely something you’ll want to try! If you’ve tried Ube ice cream, the taste is very similar and I just loooove Ube ice cream.

I got these for my daughters party. I ordered two boxes, and the first box was gone in 10 minutes. These are so amazing, and if you haven’t tried them, you are missing out. Cash only, and if you don’t pre order, I suggest going at 9am, because they sell fast!

After seeing these ube tarts all over my Instagram feed, I knew I had to find them. Last year Emi introduced me to ube pancakes at Yogurstory & ever since I’ve been in love with the purple goodness. In case you’re out of the loop or just a white girl like myself, ube is a purple yam used in lots of desserts.
Located in Wahiawa, Über Factory is hidden between Killer Tacos & Café Olive; there’s a banner in the store front window but you won’t know you’re there til you’re there. Parking is right out front.
I had this place bookmarked but realized I hadn’t looked up the hours/​ordering procedure when my boyfriend told me we were going Wahiawa to visit his family. I quickly came to find that you have to preorder through Facebook message. It was still early so I shot them a message. I saw they had their ube flavor plus speciality flavors on the menu so I asked about both. They answered quickly to tell me it was a no go on same day orders but they did have 8 packs for $ 10 available for walk in customers, first come first serve. Note, they do post on IG & FB a schedule of Saturday hours each month so you can preorder for pick up, both ube or specialty flavors. I’ll be ready next time!
Today’s hours were 9 – 4 and it was 3:00 but we decided to try. We found the hidden location and walked into their kitchen/​storefront/​workstation. Girls & a woman were lacking tarts behind a counter and offered me help. The woman came over to check the fridge & lucky us they had a few boxes left! There were no more speciality flavors but we grabbed two ube 8 piece boxes. They also let us sample a piece since we hadn’t ever tried it before. Mm, it was a tasty bite. I’m picky with my pastry and found this to be not overly sweet, just crumbly enough. Perfect surrounding to the creamy ube goodness. I love how smooth the center is. Hats off to the chef!
I’ll definitely think about using these for future events or to bring for holidays/​occasions. Everyone I’ve shared with has been super blown away. Super glad I got my hands on these delicious little tarts! Uberly perfect ube goodness, nom.

WORTH IT! I was first introduced to über tarts from my job, its a funny story.
Im a server and a baby shower party came in to our restaurant I ended up being their server… long story short. they shared with me an über tart and I WAS HOOKED!
Right amount of sweetness and the ooey factor was spot on not to gooey it was perfect!
The shell on the outside was just the right amount of awesomeness (forgive me I dont know the right pastry term for the outer shell) lol
Thank you baby shower party for sharing your über tarts with me. I cant wait to get a whole box to myself hehe.
^_​^

This is such a great hidden gem. I decided to try this out after seeing reviews and posts on social media. A little sad that I can’t always get these to share with friends and family but I look forward to ordering again. All of my friends loved these tasty treats!

Brought some to a baby shower yesterday! Everyone could not stop asking me where these were from! Soooo yummy! I’ll be back for more!

Son: «Mommy this is the
.»
Me: :) :) :)
1^st Family Party
Cousin: «Kim, this is sooooo gooood!»
Me: (O.O)
Auntie: «Oh, I like this Kim you know all the best desserts.»
Me: –_​-​*
Nephew: «Auntie Kim, the Über Tarts are addicting!»
Me: :-P
2^nd Family Party
Sister: «Kim this is delicious, where did you buy this from?»
Me: (‘-’)
Nephew: Gets scolding for repeatedly sneaking into the kitchen to shove another Über Tart in his mouth. «Auntie Kim, I can’t stop eating it.»
Me: (–_(-_(-_(-_-)_-)_-)_-)
Mom: «Kim, I like this it’s perfect.»
Me: (ノ益)ノ彡
AHHHHhhhHHHHHHhhhhh, just because my wife Kim C. has a major sweet tooth doesn’t mean I don’t know a good dessert when I found one. Every single person automatically thought my wife discovered the Über Tart. Don’t worry she gave me the credit when they thanked her, but it still was frustrating when person after person kept thanking her. My co-​worker brought the Über Tart to my company potluck and I was hooked ever since.
Tips:
* The shop is located at Wahiwa.
* Check them out on Instagram to see when they are open.
* Like them on Facebook. This is how you put in your order in.
* Parking space is limited so come with someone else so they can wait for you in the car or walk on over from Walgreens. Walgreens is a few blocks away.
* They only accept CASH
BIGGEST TIP:
Remember I discovered the Über Tart first, not Kim C.

Do you know the UBE man,
The UBE man, the UBE man,
Do you know the UBE man,
Who has opened shop in Wahiawa?
Yes, I know of the UBE man,
The UBE man, the UBE man,
Yes, I know the UBE man,
He will turn that UBE into Gold!
Finding the Ube Man:
Months ago my husband comes home and tells me how he tasted something so uberlicious, that he didn’t have the strength to save me one for a taste. At the time the UBER TART was hard to attain. Chef Andy did it only for special events and sold them here and there. I actually reached out to him on Instagram in hopes of attaining some. Months later I got a message on Instagram that he opened up shop in Wahiawa, just in time for Thanksgiving. I ordered 98 pieces to take to our family party and it was a huge hit.
411 on Chef Andy:
Chef Andy has cooked all over the island of Oahu for different restaurants and has also created other ube food dishes. My favorite is the ube pancakes from Yogurstory. Not only does he own Über Factory, he is also the executive chef at the Proud Peacock restaurant located at Waimea Valley on the North Shore.
Location:
The shop is located in Wahiawa next to Vapor Hi, Killer Tacos and Café Olive.
Parking:
Scarce :(. I noticed some people had to walk over from Walgreens to pick up their order.
Prices as of Dec 2015:
8 pack $ 10
Box of 25 $ 30
Box of 50 $ 60
Order:
Order through their Facebook Page called Über Factory and await confirmation.
Days of Operation:
If you have an Instagram account follow the page to get updates on when they are taking orders and when they are open. It’s called Über Factory.
Über Tart Heaven (5 stars fo’sure)
Once you pop one in you will fall head over heels. It’s not too sweet, the crust taste like a shortbread cookie, and it’s perfectly sized for your mouth to enjoy. Chef Andy recommended to freeze the über tart if you don’t eat it right away. When you eat it fresh the texture is soft. I ate it when it was removed from the freezer and it was like eating ube ice cream. When it comes out of the freezer the texture filling is much firmer but still uberlicious.
I can’t wait for my next order!

Finally got to try these tarts after seeing it on everyones IG/​FB feed for years. They were doing a preorder for thanksgiving so the hubby and I decided to try some. We set the pick up day for the day before so that we could sample some first before we share them with the rest of the family. To pre-​order, follow them on Facebook under «Über Factory» and you’ll be up to date on when they open pre-​orders for the upcoming holidays. Make sure you wait for your confirmation so you know that they received your order!
Pick up is in Wahiawa. The parking is VERY limited. When we picked up our order, I waited in the car while my husband ran in real quick to pick up the tarts, snap a few pics for Unilocal,say Hi to Nancy and Andy, by the time he came out, a car was slowly pulling in the parking lot right behind us. If you don’t wanna do that, I’ve read of people parking at Walgreens and walking over. Whatever tickles your pickle.
So.onto the tarts. The tarts were everything you could ever ask for… and more! They were not overly sweet, they were done just right. It was the perfect size for my kids to devour and they couldn’t get enough! We got the box of 25 for $ 30. Since there is 5 of us, we all sampled one once we got it, so there were 20 left for the next day. Of course, after the first bite, we were hooked. I had to refrain myself (and the rest of the family) from taking another so that we would have some left for the next day. It didn’t last past Thanksgiving day, btw.
They also have a new flavor out, the chocolate «tootsie roll» tart. I haven’t tried it myself, but if you like chocolate, it may be worth trying. I believe it’s sold in limited quantities right now, so ask first if they have it available.
We’ve already ordered for christmas, so go check them out if you haven’t done so already!

Heard about these Über tarts from my bf’s cousin. Since then I was determined to get my hands on them. So I searched for the famous Über Factory on FB & Instagram and was super happy that he was taking orders for ¹¹⁄₂₁₁ and Thanksgiving! So, we ordered 2 8-​packs on ¹¹⁄₂₁ and a 50-​pack for thanksgiving.
¹¹⁄₂₁ finally arrived and we were very eager to pick up our order at the Über Factory in Wahiawa. Very easy to find, but limited parking. We got to meet Chef Andy himself… very nice guy! We got home and finally got to taste it. OMG…#uberlieveable #mmmuber #ubertastic #uberlicious.
The tart had great ube flavor, not too sweet, but just enough ube flavor. We couldn’t wait to pick up our order for thanksgiving and to share with our family & friends! We picked up our order for thanksgiving and they had their «Tootsie Roll» flavor avail for purchase. So of course we had to try it. I personally prefer the Über tarts, but for those that love chocolate… would definitely enjoy the tootsie roll tarts.
Bottom line is everyone we shared these tarts with enjoyed them and wanted more! We will definitely be back for more. Thanks Chef Andy for bringing Über goodness into our lives! ;)

I have been wanting to get a hold of these ube desserts since last year. when the opportunity to order came I did not even hesitate. not even considering my more than an hour drive to & from McCully to Wahiawa. Omg the drive to Wahiawa was awful, traffic as soon as you enter it! but I knew it was gonna be worth it. when i got home, waited about 5 minutes for it to soften (suppose to be 10 – 15 but i couldnt wait much longer lol) one bite followed another, until I had about 5 pieces then i realized it is suppose to be for Thanksgiving dinner!
they are not too sweet & you will not get tired of the taste. at some point it almost tasted like ice cream minus the melt. omg I will order again for Christmas! Thank you Andy

Excellent service and über tarts were delish! Shared with my friends & they’re a hit! Will definitely be back for more!

Congratulations Andy! Excellent customer service and tarts always a winner! I high recommend you to stop by and try these addicting desserts.

Honestly, probably one of the best desserts I have ever eaten. I am not a sweets person either so that is saying a LOT.
Chef Andy Dalan, who invented the Ube Pancake during his time at Yogurstory, is a talented pastry chef who has won many awards including being named the two-​time Rice Fest «Riceipe» Cooking Contest champion.
He started Ube Tarts as a project on the side (he’s the Executive Chef at Waimea Valley’s Proud Peacock Restaurant), making small batches for his friends, until it eventually took on a life of its own. I’m super stoked that he decided to open up a shop to serve up these delectable Ube Tarts so I don’t have to wait to get my fix. This is a MUST try!
