"Ted’s Bakery is a plate lunch destination. The takeout counter attracts lines daily for their heaping katsu plates, charred BBQ short ribs, and loco moco. And while the savory stuff is all great, you’re really here for the chocolate haupia pie. The wiggly dessert is well worth any time spent sitting in highway traffic—it’s velvety, creamy, and finished off with squiggles of airy whipped cream. Sitting at one of the picnic tables with a whole pie all to yourself is a peak North Shore activity." - Julia Chen
