2025’s Best Bakeries Continued to Get Personal | Eater

"In Honolulu I saw Mille Fête balance innovation and nostalgia under Katherine Yang and Robynne Maii, celebrating Asian American bakery legacies while leaning into local tropical flavors. Yang brings flaky Taiwanese pastries like the taiyang (sunshine pastry) and folds calamansi into delicate spritz cookies, while the bakery’s shelves hold roasted pineapple coffee cakes, kimchi Reuben hand pies, baked Spam bao with Chinese mustard (a nod to the Pineapple Room), mango ʻulu bread, and the memorable POG layer cake — all presented in a muted, minimalist interior and backed by a reputation strong enough to draw supporters like Gail Simmons." - Nicole Fellah
