I have a new addiction, guilty pleasure, vice, whatever you wanna call it. The result of extra TKB and P90X workouts. Heck, I ran a few laps before writing this review. All for my visits to Mt. View Bakery. Forget the Stone Cookies, you can find those in the supermarkets. You need to come here for their donuts. At $.65 a pop...ahem...you need not adjust your computer screen. I repeat, $.65 cents a pop, you can walk out with a dozen homemade donuts for under...uh...you do the math. Let's just say, I bought 8 the other day for under $6!!! Cost is a huge plus for this joint, but hey you can get cheap donuts anywhere. The taste of these old-fashioned-glazed-melt-in-your-mouth donuts will make you come back for more. Not to mention the ham and cheese croissants, hot dogs in a blanket, and variety of turnovers and pinwheels ( including guava flavored). A small selection compared to larger bakeries, but juuust right. If there were more choices, I may be doing triple workouts daily and needing a cooler to haul my purchases. Word to the wise: BIG ISLAND LOCALS: Make it a pit stop on your way to town or volcano. Great place to pick up treats for the keiki for school birthdays or class parties. Just cut the donuts in half! ISLAND VISITORS: Soooo worth the drive. This is why you came to Hilo anyway...it doesn't get more mom and pop than this. You can grab a dozen on your way to volcano. MT VIEW BAKERY: Could you please start excepting credit cards? I'm a mileage whore...I mean, a mileage collector. I was sweating, when I saw the sign that read : CASH and EBT ONLY. Luckily I had some cash that day. Rethink it. Your new #1 customer, will greatly appreciate it. I may even bump it up to 5 STARS!

ick. stone cookies? get rid of the 'cookie' call them 'stones'. First, the bag looks like the last time it was redesigned was decades ago. decades. So now they have chocolate chips in their cookies. wow, so novel. talk about cutting edge. i first tried breaking the cookie. that didn't work. ok fine, i'll use my molars. that didn't work the first few times. But persistence is a virtue so after a few more tries, I finally broke the cookie without breaking my teeth. In my opinion, calling them cookies is confusing. Call them biscotti and then the expectation won't be so far off from reality. listen to the girl above, don't eat these rocks by themselves. disguise them with coffee.

As their name suggests Stone cookies are just that but add delicious to it. I wouldn't eat them without dipping them in a hot drink but whatever floats your boat. My toddler loves eating them - not a bad alternative to a teething biscuit. Unfortunately they aren't THAT easy to find. KTA routinely runs out as does Longs. If you are lucky enough to be on the Hilo side of the Big Island they should be easier to find though. If all esle fails and you are in Kona, fear not you can pay the big bucks and buy them at the airport gift shop for a shameless $12 a bag. If you don't like super sweet cookies, these are a perfect replacement and they make your coffee taste even better.

home of the famous stone cookie. this place is super hard to find (just as hard as the cookie), i'm not really sure if they're open to sell to the public anymore, but it's a good thing you can pick up a bag at long's or kta. rock hard and slightly sweet, this cookie is a big island icon. i swear they're not as hard as they were when i was a kid (and also shrank a little in size), but they're still yummy. they're my husband's favorite.

Last stop down Nostalgia lane for my parents in Hilo. Here we have the stone cookies. People always have mized reviews about them or even how to eat them. My family just eats them as a cookie, no dipping or anything. At the bakery, there are lots of different flavors to choose from. They have the original which is always good, a softer version, and extra crispy version, i think there was a raisin one, and my families favorite, the chocolate chip one. The price for the original is $4.75 which is a good deal. The chocolate chip one is $6 which is about the same prices that it cost at Longs when it goes on sale on Oahu.

FIVE STARS, natch! "Stone cookies" have achieved cult status for many of us, especially ex-Big Islanders. Admittedly, it's not for everyone, but, then again, what is? Stone cookies are an acquired taste. My classmate's family operated the bakery and for some strange reason, we'd sometimes get telephone calls for them. Wrong number! It didn't make sense as the numbers weren't even close. I used to work part-time at a Hilo gas station. The owner's brother-in-law lived in Mt. View and whenever he had the late shift on Saturdays, we'd call him in the morning to pick up stone cookies for us. They cost only $0.40/dozen back then (late '60s). Now, I find them in 11 oz. bags at KTA for between $6.00-7.00. My, my, how inflation has affected nostalgia. I usually eat them plain, straight out of the bag, as I'm a traditionalist. The regular ones are my favorites instead of the newer versions with chocolate chips. Chocolate chips? That's near-blasphemy. I tell those upon whom I present these "gems" as "omiyage" that they are good "dietetic" cookies - they're so hard that trying to eat one will tire out their jaws and therefore cut down on food consumption. Many will consume these cookies by dipping them in milk, hot chocolate, or coffee, softening them to a chewable consistency. Whatever floats your boat. I say, to each his own. Many places and products have fallen by the wayside in recent years: some of the Maui manju shops, saloon pilot and creme crackers from Hilo Macaroni. As much as I enjoy their replacements (mochi from Two Ladies, Kalakoa sweet bread from Punaluu Bakery, Big Island Candies), I hope that stone cookies continue on. Another sign of changing times - the bakery is now INCORPORATED!

Apparently this place is famous for these stone cookies I never got around to trying, but, whatever according to my friends who live down the street and my mouth which was very happy, it's the fresh pastries that make this place so good. I have two butter rolls, one was plain and the other had cinnamon etc. OMFG. I don't want to know the calorie count but these things are DELICIOUS. From what I hear, they also made these sort of pigs in a blanket that sell out first thing in the morning. Whether or not you're headed out for "famous stone cookies," be sure to grab something for the pastry case!

YOU DON'T EAT MOUNTAIN VIEW STONE COOKIES BY THEMSELVES!!! If you do, be prepared to loose your two front teeth! You dip 'em in some onolicious hot chocolate, coffee, or tea while enjoying the company of some close friends and 'ohana on a cold night. Hell, any night that warrants a hot beverage and good company. I'm a former Big Island wahine who grew up eating these things from the time I could walk and talk till I hit college. I have many delightful memories of my dad buying these and my two older brothers and I enjoying dippin' em in some hot chocolate around the kitchen table while my dad had his coffee. As Ms. Keri K. so correctly pointed out, these were the island's ORIGINAL biscotti before it even became popular! Agree with Greg, if you no like 'em & no care for it, no recommend it 'cuz you're doing the product a severe disservice.

The 5 star rating is for the fresh pastries, not for the stone cookies! You need to get there early for the best (and sometimes only) selection of pastries. Try the butter horns or the guava turnovers... yum! Ignore the ambiance... If I were just reviewing the cookies I would give them a 2-3; I'm not a huge fan. They're not very sweet, but they're definitely thick and hard (which is OK for a man but not for a cookie). Yes, I've read the reviews on how to dunk them in a hot drink.. still not so good. I had to microwave one until it was hot enough to taste how much butter was in that cookie, which was a little yummier, but not enough to make me buy any more.

Good cookies and a fun outing. This is a tiny little place that specializes in stone cookie, which are biscotti like.

I had to stop in to Mt View Bakery while staying with family near Hilo. Apparently this was a staple in my mom's childhood and she loves the stone cookies. Cram as many bags of stone cookies from the Mt. View Bakery as you can in your suitcase before you leave the Big Island. You will go through them before you know it. You better have some strong teeth unless you plan on dunking them in coffee or hot chocolate, which is how they are supposed to be eaten. I tried a butter horn danish while visiting Mt. View Bakery as well...it was pretty awesome too. I wish they stayed open a little later than 1:00 p.m.

Cannot appreciate these at all. No taste and hard as their name. I received them as a gift, but I don't understand their popularity with some people. So many other delicious treats are available on the Big Island. I recommend a pass here.

We got some pastries here, but I don't think they were that exciting. It was only last week, but I couldn't tell you what they were or anything about them. Not memorable. My 4 stars are really for the Stone Cookies. I wasn't that in to them the first few bites, but I warmed up to it. The chocolate chip are the best. Perfect friend for a cup of Kona coffee on the lanai.
