Our Story
Handcrafted sweets that carry the spirit of Aloha in every bite.
Inspired by Japanese finesse, refined through European technique, and deeply rooted in the rich flavors of Hawai‘i.
Royal Hawaiian Cookie was founded in 2011 with a single vision: to bring chef-crafted, premium confections to Hawai‘i.
Led by Waikīkī’s celebrated Chef Hiroshi Kimura, the company invited pastry artisan Bradford Hull —renowned for his work in Europe’s luxury hotel patisseries—to join its founding. Our concept is simple: harness the finest local Hawaiian ingredients and apply meticulous artisan techniques to create sweets of the highest quality.
Today, under Chef Hull’s direction, we handcraft each chocolate, nut treat, cookie, and okoshi from carefully selected, superior ingredients. Our lineup—featuring the rich flavor of Hawaiian macadamias woven together with European and Japanese sensibilities—is designed to delight even the most discerning palates.
Savor the skill and warmth behind every bite of our Hawaiian-born sweets, each infused with the true Aloha Spirit.

The Chef:
Bradford Hull
Chef Bradford Hull joined Royal Hawaiian Cookie in 2011 after honing his craft “on the job” under a Master French pastry chef and completing formal studies in southern France. His European tenure—working in Paris, Brussels, Stockholm, and the Virgin Islands—broadened his skills and refined his palate.
Under the direction of Chef Hiroshi Kimura, he was tasked with creating confections that marry Japanese taste preferences with the finest local Hawaiian ingredients.
