Sweet Stop, Kailua

Tucked away in the back of Kailua Beach Center amidst a kayak rental shop, swimwear store and shave ice shop is Sweet Stop, a dessert lover's paradise. Pastry chef Joslyn Benn specializes in beautiful wedding cakes with exotic island flavors but she also offers a variety of French pastries and desserts that will make your mouth water. Decadent truffles and rum balls, mini macadamia nut tarts and lilikoi (passion fruit) tarts and an assortment of high quality cakes, pies and cheesecakes will satisfy any sweet tooth. Indulge in afternoon tea or stop by after dinner on Friday for Exotic Dessert Night from 5p to 8p to sample some of Joslyn's sweet creations. - By Shiyana Thenabadu
