    Lilikoi Bar
    LARA S.

    This review is only for the key lime pie. They use green food coloring and it was neon bright green pie colored filling. Not the traditional pale yellow key lime color. Almost didn't want to pick up my order but son's gf requested key lime pie for her birthday and there was no time to go out hunting for another kl pie.... The only redeeming point was the crust was delicious with Mac nuts. Crust 5 stars. Key line filling 3 stars. Everything else here is delicious.

    My haul! $10 altogether (Long John, Banana Bread, Poi Donut)

    A hidden gem! If you grew up in Hawaii then you've seen the iconic Ani's sweet bread at your local grocery store. But, did you know you can visit the bakery? The bakery is located in the heart of Halawa. It has limited hours with closing time being 12pm so come early! What I mostly go for are their cream rolls filled with a variety of flavored creams from coffee to lilikoi, strawberry, you name it, they probably have it! It's great for pot lucks or sharing with the office! Most recently, we tried their ham rolls which were delicious! Sweet bread with ham, onion, mayo & parsley baked into it. We also got a loaf of their famous sweet bread but with blueberry jam baked in it! They have a variety of pastries in the case as well as racks of their sweet breads. Besides blueberry jam they also had apricot jam and strawberry jam filled breads. If you're ever in the area, stop by!

    If you want to try an amazing Chocolate Haupia Pie with a macadamia nut crust, come here. Additionally, our local friends come here for the Long John donuts and the Guava Butter filled Hawaiian Bread Rolls which are worth the carb splurge. For the gluten-free item, there is a mochi donut, but it was just ok. While the place is tiny and there is no seating, you might have to wait outside for a couple minutes until customers have left.

    Chocolate center glazed donuts
    Hailley O.

    I've been to Ani's twice and I can see the hype about it! Lots of great pastries at an affordable price. At my recent visit, I wanted to pick up some donuts, so I got the chocolate center glazed donuts. They were huge! A little bigger than the ones you see at other donut shops. The chocolate center was sweet and creamy, and the donut itself was pretty good. I noticed that they add in something a lil extra to my bag when they gave me my order. That's so sweet of them! This time they threw in a banana bread. I heard they're known for their butter cream rolls so maybe I'll try those next time. Definitely a spot to check out for quality pastries!

    This is always a must stop before I head back home. I remember that it was always a special treat when we got Ani's sweet bread or pies growing up . I just learned that the sweetbread recipe is over 150 years old. This has been a family owned business that has been a staple for locals for many generations. Please support these businesses so that many more generations can enjoy

    Did you know Ani's Bakery has a location in Halawa Valley? Not just the rolls you see in stores -- this is the real deal! I'm giving up one of my best-kept secrets here. Check out their Thanksgiving menu if you need something to bring to your party -- everything's fresh and made with aloha. Delicious baked goods, great prices, and super easy to find. Plus, plenty of free parking. Definitely worth the stop!

    2/11/26 Refrigerated items to the right of doorway

    2/11/26 First time coming to the bake shop even though I have had several of their yummy baked goods over the years. I used their website to place an online order the day before, which was pretty user-friendly including pics of the baked goods available. I wanted to get a few pastries for myself to try and bring some poi malasadas for my volunteer group. I saw they also sold sandwiches, which I was unaware of & was happy to see they had a chicken salad sandwich that I ended up ordering. Pick-up was scheduled for 9AM. They are easy to find and located across the street from the Halawa rec center. As other yelpers have mentioned, parking can be tricky but there is ample parking. Just be sure not to park in any stalls marked reserved. When I got there, there were only 2 customers ahead of me, a man in the store, and a lady just outside the door. Apparently they limit the amount of people in the door because of how small the area is and probably same set-up from covid time. Plus if there are already people at the register, there's a sign on the door that says, "the line starts here." So even though I ordered ahead, I still had to wait to get in. They should at least have another employee help with just pick-up orders to move the line along in case customers in front of you have huge orders. After I stood there waiting, 3 more people lined up behind me. Once I got to the counter, the girl had to go in the back to get my order which was already bagged when she brought it to me. It took about 10 minutes altogether from waiting in line to leaving. She was nice and friendly and the front area was kept clean. Poi malasadas, $2 each - good sized and ono, nice & soft, not overly sweet. Blueberry scone, $3.60 - meh, on the dry side & looks like they use frozen blueberries or preserved, not worth it. Butter roll, $1.45 - meh, on the dry side even after warming it. Long john, $3.90 - ono, hands down one of the best I've had. It is a little pricier than other bakeries but it is huge. They do not skimp on the custard, filled to the max & it was tasty, not overly sweet. The only thing I didn't like was there was way too much powered sugar topping, which made the donut part too sweet. Still worth getting & way better than Zippy's. Chicken salad sandwich, $9.75 - one of the best I've had. Wasn't sure what to expect from a bakery but it was delicious & the price was very reasonable. Comes on a soft, sweet bread type roll and packed with chicken salad & lettuce. They also did not skimp on the chicken salad, which was also very flavorful. This sandwich was huge & barely fit the container it came in. I could only eat half because it was so filling. All sandwiches come with a bag of chips. Unfortunately, the website doesn't give you a choice of what you want, they just stuck a bag of fritos in the bag, which I was ok with. I would get this again. Overall, I was pleased with most of the food. Ordering online ahead of time was easy, friendly service at pick-up with a clean area, & ample free parking. I plan to come back and try some other goodies. Support local!

    Lilikoi butter cream rolls and sweet potato haupia pie for Christmas parties
    Angel C.

    Lilikoi butter rolls! Sweet (Hawaiian) bread! I thought I reviewed Ani's when I shot the attached photo more than 8 years ago, but I guess not! Minutes before writing this review, I enjoyed a lilikoi butter roll despite having a filling lunch. The roll was as tasty as I remember it when I first had it 8 years ago. I remember their sweet bread as one of my favorites on all of Oahu. Ani's sweet breads are also sold in some supermarkets. The bake shop itself is a bit small like any other good bake shop and is somewhat tucked away in Halawa, but Ani's is still worth visiting. They sell pies, cakes, and seasonal items. Their lilikoi butter rolls are definitely the star though!

    A friend of mine recommended this bakery, specifically for their Okinawan sweet potato haupia pie. Naturally I had to try it, lol. Aside from the Okinawan sweet potato haupia pie, I also got a chocolate haupia pie, cornbread, Lilikoi pound cake, and guava pound cake. The Okinawan sweet potato haupia pie was delicious! The haupia complimented the Okinawan sweet potato filling and didn't overpower it. The crust itself was on the softer side but the macadamia nuts added a nice crunch to the crust; I'm assuming it's macadamia nuts.. I'm not 100% but it was still a nice crunch. I'm giving the chocolate haupia pie to my daughter and I'm sure she'll enjoy it. I got the cornbread for my husband and he said it was really good. I'll definitely be back to try the other pies and baked goods!

    My prize pie!
    Kathy A.

    Yes I'm still a fan of Ani's! Yes those pies are spendy but there's none better on this island. I'm apparently not the only person who thinks this because any time of the days there's a line waiting to get in as it's a tiny shop and three people make a crowd. My latest purchase was a banana cream pie and I'm sure it weighed four to five pounds, a macadamia nut crust and full of bananas. I still need to try their Key Lime Pie but my last stop was for birthday boy's choice. Their muffins are also off the charts good, favorites are the Orange Muffins which are not found in many shops but are awesome and those blueberry muffins which are so moist stuffed with blueberries. Pastries are huge and those long John's will give that North Shore Snow Puffy bakery a run for the money plus they're so big you can cut them in half and they're still bigger than most other bake shops. Did I mention they sell premade sandwiches too? Ani's is on the corner of IwaIwa Street and Iwaena Street at the beginning of Hālawa Industrial Area literally across the street from Halawa District Park. Parking is fronting the bakery but as mentioned they are quite popular so can be full however it moves fast. Give them a try, you will not be disappointed.

    Ani's delicious Apple Cinnamon Loaf  $8.25  a loaf & worth every bite!
    Gerald P.

    Fist time here, in the industrial park in Aiea off H-3 freeway. Small storefront , not much room for many customers to browse. Lots of pies, breads and pastries. Some refrigerated, so bring a cooler. Everything I tasted from Ani's Bake Shop is quality! The only thing their speciality pie's are nearly in the range of $40.00 each. To steep for me. Could only afford their Apple Cinnamon Loaf , which is so tasty & delicious! Support them Hawaii , nothing is cheap in Hawaii!

    土曜日、9時ごろお邪魔しました。。 場所が近隣に飲食がなく、 最初はちょっと目立たないので わかりずらいかもしれません。。 入り口はいるとすぐにショーケースと 棚にパンがずらりと並んでいます。。 どちらかというと工場直売という感じです。。 キーライムパイがお目当てで行きましたが 甘さも控えめでさっぱりなパイで 個人的にとてもおいしかったです。。 また、アップルシナモンブレッドも 買ってみましたが 中身が濃厚なシナモンアップルで とてもおいしくいただきました。。 リピート確実のお店になりました。。 駐車場はお店の前に専用スペースがあります。。

    Do they have the cinnamon rolls in a pan?

    Yes. Cinnamon rolls sold in a pan comes either with OR without raisins.

    Does anyone have the instructions on how to bake an Ani's frozen peach pie? We lost our instructions.

    Do these rolls need to be refrigerated?

    The rolls do not require refrigeration. I've left it out on the kitchen counter wrapped in the original packaging for a day or two. The rolls are usually eaten within that time.… 

    Does Ani's deliver to areas outside of Honolulu, i.e. Kaneohe?

    Ani's doesn't deliver. You can place order to pick up or go there and order. It's definitely worth the drive as they have the most delicious pastries and pies on this island.

    How long does it stay fresh?

    How long does what stay fresh? Which item? The haupia cake? A few days - keep it in the fridge.

    Is it necessary to refrigerate the buttercream rolls?

    Yes... then take them out a little before serving if you want to get the chill off of it

    What's everyone's top 3 cream roll flavors?

    1. Guava 2. Pineapple 3. Lychee

    Does any one know if Anis baked goods are carried at grocery stores? If so, which one?

    You can get Ani's Sweet Bread, reg and cinnamon at Safeway for sure.

    Can the sweet potato Haupia pies be frozen and brought back to the mainland?

    I don't see why not. Use dry ice to keep it frozen on the way there. ?

    Panday Coffee

    4.3(9 reviews)

    I visited Panday at the Kailua mini swap meet. It was a small, kind of random event that…read moresurprisingly didn't have any other food or drink vendors. I felt kind of bad because it was a one person show and the owner guy had to accommodate a lot of customers by himself! It was a hot day and a cold drink sounded great. I heard someone mention there was a coffee vendor but the person made it sound like they were only selling cups of hot or iced coffee. Then someone walked by with a matcha drink and I knew I needed to check out Panday's booth. There was a small line of customers and the guy was working hard to chat with people, collect payments and make drinks. When it was my turn, I ordered the "Biko" coffee which is their special Filipino rice/coconut/condensed milk coffee. He said he probably didn't have enough and I should look over the menu to see if I had a second choice. I chose the banana matcha and he said he didn't have any banana syrup. I mean maybe the event was so popular that he ran out of drinks quicker than expected. I guess he was the only food/drink vendor at the event and it was a hot day.... In the end, he had enough Biko for my drink and everything was fine. It was a good latte and flavorful, but idk if I'd go out of my way to find it in the future. I do want to try the banana matcha still though. For a one man operation, this guys is killing it. He makes the espresso shots to order, so drinks may take a little while to get made. He was good at chatting up people in line while we waited though. Hopefully I'll see panday coffee at another event soon!

    Stop and smell what's brewing…read more.. That's exactly what I did as soon as I saw the sidewalk sign right outside of Fishcake in Kaka'ako and I'm so glad I did ;) checking out their menu you can find the usual espresso, latte and americano and now for the fun stuff...their "Specialty Drinks" from Monkey Coffy which has house made banana syrup, Biko which is a Filipino rice milk coffee and even the newest The Panday Pandan Latte! I really was intrigued by their Monkey Coffy but really wanted to try their Matcha when they said that I could combine it for "Monkey Matcha" whaaaaaaat!!!! Their only concern is that the banana syrup could overpower the matcha so they weren't confident to put it on the menu but I tell you it was yummy and yes the syrup was very flavorful as I was told it is made with real bananas and has the equivalent of two bananas in each cup...incredible. The staff is amazing and informed me of the wait with several orders already in the works but I do love the creativity as they bring in the culture crafted in each cup is unique and "sip"ly delicious. Thank you!
