Hafa adai,
When
we think of a cookie shop always bustling with tourists, the Honolulu Cookie
Company comes to mind.
Located
in the shopping arcade of Dusit Place in the heart of Tumon, it’s in an
excellent location just inside the entrance at the intersection in front of T
Galleria and JP Superstore.
Although
it started in Hawaii, the shop has become extremely popular in Guam due to its
adorable shapes and delicious taste. The pineapple-shaped cookies are a crisp
shortbread type. The company itself started in 1998, so while it’s a popular
souvenir representing Hawaii, it seems surprisingly still quite new.
Inside
the store, there are various gift packages available. The beautiful combination
of green and dark brown colors, reminiscent of the lush Hawaiian nature, leaves
a strong impression.
There
are different types of packaging, but about 12 flavors of cookies are
available, including tropical fruit flavors and those dipped in chocolate. The
number and types of cookies vary slightly depending on the package.
There
are also Hawaii-themed packages with the word “ALOHA” written on
them…
And
even a Guam-exclusive version shaped like the island of Guam has appeared.
Seasonal
limited-edition packages and cookie flavors are also very popular. Currently,
under the theme “Aloha in Bloom,” there is a spring-themed
heart-shaped tin with tropical flower designs, which was very popular for
Valentine’s Day as well.
There
is also a “Cookie a la Carte” corner where you can choose your
favorite flavor. There are options ranging from small boxes with five cookies
to extra-large boxes with 30, and you can even buy just one cookie. Samples are
available, so be sure to find your favorite flavor.
Even
though it’s a Hawaii-based brand, Honolulu Cookie Company is popular in Guam
for its cuteness and deliciousness. For souvenirs, be sure to pick up the
Guam-exclusive version. For home use, the bagged types offer great value.
