UBAE Review

Very small shop with a counter to purchase ubae cookies, cheesecake and regular cake. Echoing what other reviewers said, the cookie and tart didn t taste much like ubae.

My co-worker JC told about a place where they do incredible things with the UBE. Good news...He was right. Bad news....I just started my diet last month. One cookie and one cheesecake limit this week. Can't wait till next week!

If you love Ube, this is the place to go. They have use tarts, ube cheesecake and ube crinkle cookies.

Love the crinkle cookies, they re so soft!

All is good, but I HAVE to get the Ubae tarts. Oh and the softserv swirl too. ;->

Delicious cookies, ice cream, cheese cake and tarts, not a big variety to choose from and no seating, cookies sell out fast call them before you go to make sure they didn t run out

I love UBAE! We had their tarts and cheesecake, and both were delicious! The only problem I encountered here is parking.

Wanted to try I've cheesecake tart but they sell only 8 pieces per tray and too many for me. But a customer next to me was praising it so it must be good! Bought ube cheesecake in a cup. Thick and creamy cheese, beautiful deep purple colour and tasted very good. I shall go back for more of it and to get cookies and tarts as well.

Came in to try thier soft serve. Didn't know it just came in a cup. It was ok. I got the cookie before too. that was too sweet. The stars is because the price is pretty high. For the small portion

Exploring the eats on Oahu, great place for some sweets. Tucked away in shopping center, reasonable prices. Ubae is here so enjoy!

Walking around Honolulu, we saw a lot of desserts that were made with Ube, a purple sweet potato. Curious as to what it may taste like, we searched for the best Ube desserts in town and found @ubae_hawaii. First up was their Ube Crinkle Cookie, which features a soft and chewy texture that complimented the Ube flavor really well. We also tried their Cheesecake tarts, and were delighted with its excellent shortbread crust. Purple foods isn t something you find very often, and we were glad to have been able to have some while visiting Honolulu!

Cute ubae shop. We liked the creamy cheesecake and cookies. I think a bit overpriced but I d still recommend checking it out if you ll be in Honolulu. :)

It's a little bit overpriced but I like the taste of it personally! It does not have strong ube flavor. If you have extra time in Honolulu then maybe check it out, otherwise you can safely skip it. And yes there is no seating. Parking can also be hard so be aware.

They are freaking good...,..... Stop reading this and eat some

We are ube fans and decided to try the cheesecake with graham cracker crust, cookies, and tarts. Loved it all and you can really taste the ube. Busy parking lot but worth making a stop. This holds up to the fancy ube desserts in the Philippines and Los Angeles.

Delicious dessert spot. Nice change from the regular ice cream

UBAE, kind of says it all. Love this place. If you visit our beautiful state you must try this delicious goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing Ube deserts! Their tarts and cheesecake is my favorite. They have lots of ube options, the staff is super friendly and helpful, quick service and delicious treats. This is my go-to for my ube cravings!

I visited from out of state, very excited to try this. I got one cheesecake and a cookie. Both were good. The cheesecake was smooth and the cookie had a nice mild crunch on the outside while being soft on the inside. The only other thing being sold at the time was the tart, so I assume they re out of some of their other items for now.

When I went it looked like they were maybe doing some reconstructing. Unfortunately, no seating to enjoy my snacks. Their current limited hours made it so I almost didn t get to try them before leaving the state.

Good desserts/snacks though. Just prepare to eat it elsewhere.

Cute shop. Yummy Ube desserts. My favorite is the Ube cheesecakes in the tin. The tarts are also yummy too. Enjoy coming here for a few Ube treats.

Tastes yummy!! I'll give it 3 stars for now since selection is limited. I didnt wanna drive to Wahiawa to the "other" Ube place since i was only visiting oahu for a day.

Their variety of assorted cheesecake, amazingly delicious specially the swirl ice cream,soft silky smooth of goodness. I can't get enough of it.

The cookies were really delicious and soft but didn't really have a strong ube flavor. Also got a cheesecake. It was good also, but again, no obvious ube flavor. The crumbly crust was fantastic though.

We were kind if disappointed overall. We wanted to get some tarts but you can only buy them in packs of 8.

We were visiting Oahu and excited to try out this place as I love ube. I bought the soft serve, cheesecake tarts and the crinkle cookie. Soft serve is good but I would like it with strong ube flavored. Not a fan of the cheesecake tarts as the cream cheese overpowered the ube tasted. Didn't try the cookie but hubby likes it. Overall I didn't get the hype.

I absolutely love UBAE
(Ube = Purple Yam)

Let me start with: You can never go wrong with ube cheesecake!!

Everything here it's absolutely amazing!

They offer the traditional ube cheesecake, ube cheesecake tarts and ube crinkle cookies.

The ube cheesecake and cheesecake tarts have a divine taste, I love the texture.

The ube crinkle cookies, the presentation is just stunning. That shade of purple with the frost! It taste just as amazing as it looks! The cookie was nice and soft.

I can't wait to visit again!

We love ube more than anything that s why we can t fall in love with this place.

We were so stoked to try their items. I ve had their cheese cake, mini tarts, Fran, mamon, and cookies, but they just don t have enough ube flavor. If I close my eyes, I can t really tell that I m eating ube desserts. Amongst what we tried, mamon had the strongest ube halaya flavor, but even with that I wish I could taste more ube! I detected some textures of ube from cookie, but the sugar on the cookie overpowered the ube. Fran was the worst and neither of us couldn t say it s ube fran, the flavor of the sponge cake was non existent.

You can buy Trader Joe s ube ice cream and pancake mix and still can taste great ube flavors. Each item from Ubae is not cheap at all, so why waste money? Our impression is that Uabe is insta-pretty place/tourists trap. When I have ube cravings next time, I ll turn to Magnolia s ube ice cream or get Tiger Ube from Nio for much better experience.

There were three kinds of products using ube, but I bought a cheese cake tart and tried it. Sorry, filling was tasty with a little salty of cheese being outstanding. I think that it is a difficult place to go if there is no car to the City Square shopping center with a store. In addition, security in Karahi district where shop is located is not good, please be careful when going.

OMG! The best! I wish I bought more to take home with me to Chicago! The tarts & cheesecakes were amazing! This is a must go-to if you're in the island!

My taste buds have changed from decades of eating sweet desserts to now favor savory food items. However, I was lured to this shop by a BOGO free offer for a 4 oz ube cheesecake through the Five Stars marketing platform.

Upon entry, the counter girl greeted us with a smile as I mentioned the BOGO offer which was loaded onto my account. She pointed me to the Five Stars keypad where I entered my phone number then went about browsing their display case of purpleness.

For those who may be unfamiliar with "ube", it's actually a regally purple-colored sweet potato. Pronounced "ooh-bey". In fact, its pronunciation is boldly emblazoned in a purple neon sign on one of this bakery's walls. (See photo). It's a mildly sweet and not too starchy sweet potato that is used most commonly by the Filipino community in desserts. The desserts can be made from fresh cooked grated ube or from powder, dependent upon its application.

Luckily, we had just eaten lunch so I didn't go "hog wild" ordering the mouthwatering ube products. I did get the BOGO free offer for a 4-ounce ube cheese cake and 6 ube crinkle cookies that I'll pair with a cup of hot black coffee or a Cortado.

The crinkle cookies are light with its somewhat cake-like brownie textured center. But, its ube flavor isn't particularly intense. As for the ube cheese cake, its cream cheese filling is rich and creamy but I couldn't taste ube flavor even though it was vividly purple. The graham cracker crust was crumbly and not too sweet to distract from the cream cheese flavor. I was a bit worried if our teeth or tongue would be stained purple from these treats because we just got our teeth cleaned by our dentist. Well, no staining occurred.

We liked their ube products but it's not something that we crave of would indulge in frequently.

Soooo good. Friendly staff and the soft serve is amazing just like the cookies and tarts

Everyone comes here for the cookie but!!! The cheesecake is the real winner. The ube flavor isn t as strong in the cookie compared to the cheesecake. The cheesecake was the best ube cheesecake I ve ever had, it s almost like an ube ice cream. Also the purple color here is strong, you know for sure it s ube. I felt like after the cheesecake, my whole body was going to turn purple...and into ube.

Delicious. Perfect for omiyage when going outer island too.

Nice cheese cake, cheese tart and cookies. Very creamy. Just a bit pricy and the location seems not very convenient without own transportation. But overall it s worth to try.

The desserts themselves are good, just a little too sweet. However what's most disappointing is that they taste nothing like real ube. When we visited southeast Asia we got to taste it and this place doesn't come close to it. The cheese cake is literally just regular flavor with purple dye.

Great desserts & they have a Street Fighter 2 arcade in the shop you can play for FREE!!!

This incredible purple confection is da BOMB! I dare anyone NOT to get addicted MY personale favorite, the "Crinkle cookie!"

The icecream and cheese cake was very good, very worth trying!

Aloha! This place has best sweets and goods. Ube is the best desert wvwr! Staff friendly and helpful.

So happy they re finally opening a store! They haven t officially opened yet, but had a popup on Nov. 12 and will hopefully have more before their grand opening. For those who know the area, it s across from Young s Fish Market and Kam Bakery.

Great service and soft serve. Chanel exudes great friendly customer service. I go there weekly.

Ube (purple sweet potato) cheesecake tarts from ubae hawaii in Honolulu are delicious! Creamy ube cheesecake in a buttery tart shell, love the hint of salt

Try everything, it's all good! My. Favorite is the shortbread tarts. Soo yummy!
