We love having this small shop in our neighborhood. It carries the most delicious, flaky croissants with just the perfect amount of chew and fresh bread. We are going to celebrate a with family today and wanted to bring them nothing but the best! Make sure you get here early if you want to find your favorites. I got some serious side eye/exasperated sigh from the older haole gent behind me trying to push his order ahead of me with someone else. The shop clerk was very fair and gave me the one ham and cheese croissant that was left. I have much respect and gratitude for that. Really, you can't go wrong with any of their baked goods. Everything is well balanced and well made, not overly sweet or heavy. Their sandwiches and wagyu burger are delicious too! Today's haul included: Croissants-chocolate, ham & cheese Scones-mango Cheesecake-lilikoi Strudel-lychee Danish-blueberry read more

Always delicious freshly baked goodness. This morning decided to eat some croissant breakfast and try some other baked goods. What I really enjoyed was the apple turnover. It was sweet, flaky with nice pieces of apples inside. I didn't really care for the chocolate one because I didn't care for the chocolate but the baked pastry was still flaky and yummy. Always enjoy the pleasantries in the morning and the fresh flaky delicacies. Reminds me of Europe so much and I enjoy the lightness of the pastry. Thank you for making my Sunday morning fun read more

Great sandwiches and pastries. My go-to is the basil pesto chicken sandwich. Crispy, flavorful, and filing. Sometimes there is a wait, but you can also call in an order. Ample parking in the lot. read more

Of all the desert spots in Honolulu Fendu Boulangerie is by far my favorite. It's a small bakery that also serves sandwiches and other lunch items. Their pear tart is so buttery and refreshing. Try all their baked croissants especially their pear and chocolate item. If you want to host a little afternoon tea party you can get all your goodies from this place. read more

I LOVE FENDU! This place has the most delicious scones and very incredible lychee and pear danishes. I could eat their lychee danishes every day. One of my favorite places in the marketplace. I hope they never close! read more

Best sourdough bread I've had on the island! Definitely will be back for that sourdough. I had their macadamia nut cookie, it was just ok. I found it to be very sweet and really couldn't taste any macadamias. So I will try another sweet treat when I'm there. read more

We've always thought the baked goods were fine, but had a similar experience today with the same lady who has been mentioned below. She bullied the nicer staff member who helped us, and was outright rude to us as well. The mask may (mostly) hide the disgust on her face but the eyes say it all. Some people should just not be in a position of customer service. It drags down what might be an otherwise great establishment and makes us very hesitant to return when after diving from across town and spending hard earned money we're left feeling full of negativity. What a shame! read more

It's been a while since the last time I had the curry chicken sandwich but boy has it changed. I paid almost $10 for a sandwich that barely had any meat to it. I remember the last time, the meat was falling off the sandwich when I would bite it. Chicken shortage? On another note, I also had another surprise...a piece of bone in my sandwich. Good thing I didn't try to swallow this one. Sorry, won't be coming back for a while. read more

I recently discovered this gem in Mānoa. It's my Sunday ritual to stock up on the freshest sour dough and ciabatta bread for my week. Not only do they have amazing bread & divine desserts, but the service is 10/10. The Sunday crew is amazing!! So helpful & welcoming. Nic, Jane, Gus, and Bryson are absolutely the best. It's not just the bread that keeps me coming back. If you're looking for the best bread & service in town, look no further. This is the place. read more

Ridiculously good. My husband and I spontaneously found this place one weekend a couple of month ago and I wish we had tried it sooner. It's a small bakery shop but their food is so delicious. We got their Black Forest ham sandwich and basil pesto chicken panini -- best sandwich I've had in a long time, made with fresh bread. Their scones are so good, too! We got one to share and ended up going back inside to buy a few more for later! I took my mom there for lunch to have her try it, too and she ended up going back inside to buy a loaf of bread. read more

I was in the Manoa area to specifically try new places I've had bookmarked for a while: Fendu Boulangerie and Feast. I came with a friend that I treated to lunch and dessert for her birthday. I ordered the Lilikoi Cheesecake and she had the Pear Almond Tart. I didn't care for the Lilikoi Cheesecake. I was hoping the Lilikoi glaze on top would be tart, but it was sweet. In fact, I didn't even taste the Lilikoi. It just tasted like sugar jelly. The predominant flavor was sugar. Also it didn't taste fresh. You can tell it was not made that day. The Pear Amond Tart, on the other hand, was very yummy. Sadly, my friend was the one who ordered it, but she was nice enough to let me taste it. I was hesitant at first because it's such a tiny slice and I didn't want to take her food. I wish I had ordered that instead. It was the perfect balance of sweet and scrumptious. The pears were crisp and the crust was buttery and flaky. I will definitely come back for the Pear Almond Tart whenever I'm in the area. The store is tiny so only two or three people can come inside at the same time because of Covid restrictions. Thank goodness the plaza offered plenty of free parking spaces because I hate patronizing establishments that don't offer parking on-premise. Luckily we scored a parking spot under the shade of a tree because we had to eat in the car. read more

I am a sucker for freshly baked breads and sweet treats. PreCOVID, when we were able to travel (and eat) freely, one of our favorite things to do was find a neighborhood bakery and indulge (sometimes overindulge) in their offerings. Luckily for us, we don't have to go all the way to France to enjoy delicious French/European styled pastries, breads, sandwiches, paninis and pizzas. We just need to make a short drive into Manoa Valley. Only reason for 4 stars (instead of 5) is that on our last visit, our cranberry scones, although delicious, seemed to be missing a main ingredient - cranberries. On very close inspection, there were some faintly discernible flecks of cranberry slivers, but I was hoping for a real cranberry or two or three... Despite this, I am definitely a fan of Fendu Boulangerie and will definitely be coming back (for the Kalamata olive bread - special on Tuesdays). Staff is very friendly. Lots of parking. read more

It is safe to say that I would have had no self control and have gone far into credit card debt if I was the one ordering for my group. The display cases here are just on fire - as the kids say (I think). You would think you were whisked away to a bake shop of your dreams. I love cheesecake so I was able to persuade my boyfriend to buy an entire whole lilikoi cheesecake! This did not last long at my house, not good for me, but a great thing to say for the business. We will make excuses to go up to this bakery so we can keep trying everything on the menu. They also have pretty extensive meal options in addition to the displayed baked treats. The parking was very open on a Saturday morning - busy marketplace so there were always openings in all the coming and goings. read more

Fendu was my go-to bakery for years--but since they made it impossible to use my credit card to pay the bill without forcing an oversized tip percentage on me before allowing me to continue paying, I am rethinking my loyalty. And this comes from a customer who never leaves without leaving a cash tip for every purchase, no matter how large or small. read more

I hear boulangerie and it gives me nostalgia of myself walking in Paris, and stuffing my face with baguettes in one hand and cheese in the other. Ahh great memories lol. Anywho, Fendu boulangerie is operating on limited hours and days. I believe they offer contact-less delivery through grub hub during Covid. I would suggest calling ahead to see if pickup is available. The small cafe is located in the Manoa shopping center near Longs. Fendu Boulangerie offers pastries, sandwiches, and other baking goods besides breads. I heard from word of mouth that Tuesday's was olive bread day. This may have changed since my last purchase, so it doesn't hurt to call. I am a sucker for an olive loaf, and it's not the black ones, but the green firm, bitter, and denser olives. I lucked out and bought the second to last olive loaf. Looks like I wasn't the only fan of this type of bread. It reminded me of ciabatta with a soft top exterior dusted with flour and a firm crackling crust. This olive bread was well over a foot long and priced reasonably. I discovered that the inside of the olive loaf was fluffy with air pockets, and filled somewhat with a mix of green and black olives. A few slices were toasted and smothered with butter at home. My tastebuds rejoiced with the rich tangy taste and soft texture. I ate the whole loaf at home in one sitting. I dipped it in olive oil, and made the rest into a massive sandwich. Don't judge me lol. Support this local cafe!!! Patronize this business :) local businesses are ohana:) Check them out on grub hub. read more

My mother came into the bakery a week ago and prepaid for croissants and bread for our Christmas Brunch. This business is extremely unorganized and did not bother to set her items aside and sold every single thing. When she came in to pick it up there was nothing that she ordered and paid for. Incredibly disappointing to do to a family on Christmas Eve. Would have been nice for them to do customer recovery and have someone bake the items we ordered but they did not offer to remedy the problem. Update: Spoke to owner and he only apologized. No offers to remedy solution. Disappointing read more

Hands down The BEST Pastries on this island. lychee and blueberry danish: must try! I loved the lychee because they give you the actual fruit on top. So it's not simply just a flavor. And then I'm a sucker for blueberry, so these two were my favorite! chocolate and cranberry scones: these aren't your typical large scones, they are more finger sized. I actually liked that better. I love the harder texter of a scone so I enjoyed this as well. Only thing is I wish there was more cranberry or chocolate in it. Dark chocolate dome: okay this one I was skeptical about how good it could really be. BUT I really enjoyed it. It is very moist, and I ate it over the course of 2 days and the cake still stayed very moist. Inside there's little bites of orange ? I think, it was a nice blend . Chicken Pesto Panini: okay I was a little disappointed with the panini. The bread was a bit hard, maybe over toasted ? Not sure. The insides were good but nothing out of this world. It is just a chicken panini after all. I did really enjoy the cheese they used so that made me happy. There's bacon in it too just FYI. read more

My friend always comes here simply for the pear almond tart. It's her favorite. So when we had to make a quick trip to Manoa, she jumped at the chance to come to Fendu. From the outside, it doesn't look like much. In fact I passed the bakery because I didn't see it. Inside is a tiny no frills shop that looks and feels homey. While they have lots of other delicious looking pastries (lychee danish, pumpkin bread, chocolate financier), we ended up getting a box filled with pear almond tarts. It wasn't until after I took my first bite that I realized why my friend insisted we get a box of tarts. The dense, buttery sugar crust was the perfect vehicle for the custard and frangipane filling with not too sweet pears. I didn't think I'd eat the entire tart, but I ended up devouring the entire thing! Service here is uber friendly, warm, and helpful. Parking is a breeze since this bakery is in the Manoa Marketplace. A lovely bakery! FOOD (4/5) SERVICE (5/5) AMBIANCE (3/5) CLEANLINESS (4/5) PARKING (5/5) read more

Wow! The day before my father-in-law's 96th birthday party, I went to order his cake. Years ago, he had gotten a fabulous cake for my daughter and I wanted him to have one, too. Even though it was the day before the party, they toom my order and delivered a FABULOUS, BEAUTIFUL, and DELICIOUS cake! Wonderful crunchy bottom crust and light layers of chocolate cake and mousse. Topped off with fresh fruit and ganache. Served 8 people with half a cake left to enjoy. Thank you! read more

Another COVID bakery experience...yum! Fendu's been on my Yelp radar for years, I'm glad I was finally able to stop by and enjoy their pastries! Seeing the scones automatically took me back to Lanai...they were my grandma's favorite omiyage to bring over...then I seen the sour cream pound cake in the case, grandma's second favorite omiyage...hmmmm...the ladies working there were super duper sweet - I asked if the baker worked for Lanai Company, and of course, she tells me yes and that there's an article on their window that talks about the history...what a small world! I indulged more than I should have and my arm got twisted to get the chocolate croissant (because I was lucky enough to be there when they had it) but, I am glad I did because it was SO good!!! Super light, flaky, and buttery...chocolate was just sweet enough...delicious! I only wish there was a way the chocolate could be distributed more evenly through the croissant...but still, I would get this again in a heartbeat! The apple danish, breakfast biscuit, and scone were all still delish later in the day, so I'm gonna assume that if you partake in them not too long after purchase, they are really yummy. Please go and support our small local businesses...so happy I finally did, I will be back for that pound cake! read more

I mean... fresh bread, need I say more? The smell. The texture. I always love to eye the beautiful baked goods, fresh bread, and yummy panini menu Fendu has whenever I walk by. I decided to stop in to grab a mini loaf of sourdough. I absolutely LOVE a fresh sourdough with some pasta. I also think it's awesome that Fendu sells mini and regular sized loafs! The mini is perfect for 2-3 people. The only reason that I took off a star is because I'm almost certain that they gave me a French bread instead of a sourdough. I was so bummed when I got home! I had made a mini cheese board and both my dad and I agreed it did not taste anything like sourdough. The bread was fine nonetheless, just not what I had ordered! Parking: Lots of parking in Manoa Marketplace! read more

For lunch, definitely just three stars, primarily for value. I might have given them more if I'd just had breakfast pastries. After a morning full of medical appointments, the preschooler and I needed lunch. The little guy wanted a grilled cheese, and I saw this place somewhat nearby and sounded like a good place to try. I ordered the chicken cordon bleu panini. I asked if they had a kid's grilled cheese (thinking, simple cheese on small slices of their soft butter bread), but no dice. I had to order an $8.50 panini that my kiddo ate, like, four bites of. It was generous with cheese, but was not what I had envisioned and not particularly satisfying to the little guy. My sandwich was good, but not spectacular. I also ordered a Lanai calamansi tart. It was pretty one-dimensional and the crust did the filling no favors. A softer, sweeter, shortbread sort of tart crust would have offset the tart filling so much better. Staff was a little uneven. The man with whom I placed my order was fine, not effusive, and forgot my tart. A woman I encountered later was really friendly and chatty. I spent $25 on two sandwiches (just the sandwiches - no chips, pickle, veg, no kind of accompaniment at all) and a tart. Ouch. They have breads like pumpkin or banana bread, and a large loaf was double-digit dollars! As much as I'd love to support this kind of business, it would take a lot to get me back. read more

Often times, I'd be in Manoa on any given weekend now in the mornings before 8am. My Sunday morning forever marathon training takes me here to Manoa marketplace at times. Recent discovery is Fendu Boulangerie. I did not realize it was a bakery since I started to learn French thru Duolingo to pass the time during the lockdowns of 2020. During that time spent learning, I learned what a boulangerie is. Bakery in English. With that said, I arrived here on a Sunday morning on my most recent visit. The shopping center seem to be quietly buzzing with activity while I was there. I must have spent about a good 15 minutes thinking about what to order. Maybe I should have looked in the window where the menu items that they had for purchase was there before entering the store. Coming to the Fendu Boulangerie mas a definitely a good one to come to on a Sunday morning here in Mānoa. If you like something that's just not fast food here in the market place, consider coming to the bakery for some alternative variety in this space. My favorites would be their assorted sandwches and their pizzas. Usually never associate breakfast with pizza, but here I was having pizza at 8am on a Sunday. It was quite wild. Delicious and definitely well worth the trip. The offerings were good too. They don't do dine in, because the bakery isn't set up for it, but still a place to go to get your food fix on! Recommended if you are in the area. The overall experience here at the Fendu Boulangerie is nice and casual. Due to the name, they try to model this bakery as being French, so they have French inspired pastries that have some offerings here to the local community. My experience here took about 30 minutes in total, which wasn't that bad, considering my indecisiveness, but the result was nice. While the prices were considerably noteworthy, it didn't take away the fact that Fendu Boulangerie is a French inspired bakery in Hawaii. The service here was nice and friendly, although you'd have to wear a face mask and observe social distancing while inside the store. They also have a limit on active customers inside the store at any given time as well. Best bet would be to come here early enough to avoid that. For the most part though, Fendu Boulangerie provides a slice of French life & culture to the local residents in Hawaii thru food. That's one thing that can make stomachs happy. I also enjoyed the breakfast panini sandwich and their chocolate croissants. I felt like I was in Paris on a holiday. Fendu Boulangerie is located in the Manoa Marketplace shopping center in the heart of Manoa valley. It's physical address is 2752 Woodlawn Drive. It's basically around the corner from the CVS Longs.They accept major credit cards, which is a good thing, as well as cash. In the age of COVID-19, credit cards are preferred. As far as parking goes, best bet would be to park in the Manoa Marketplace's spacious amount of parking to choose from. It can be limiting at time during peak times, so you'd want to come here when it's not as hot to score a good spot. If you are like me, route 6 is the only route I know of that goes thru Manoa Valley and stops next to the shopping center. While the prices here are spendy, it's a different taste than what you may find elsewhere in urban Honolulu. While they try to be upscale, it's a trendy but simple French bakery in the heart of Manoa valley. I guess that's the appeal of it all. 4.0 stars for the overall experience. 4.0 stars for the food and service. 3.0 stars for the prices. 4.0 stars for the ambiance. Support local! B read more

I've visited this bakery so many times over the past 3 years I think I need to post a post COVID praise for Fendu. My favorites continue to excite me, the Lychee danish and mango scones are a treat worth my travel 3000 miles From the Bay Area. On my recent visit, I was sad to note that they have erased the boards offering prepared food items, as they used their own breads for the pizzas and sandwiches.... Staffing was the limiting issue,, so I hope they return in the future. I think I would love to work here when I retire full time to our Hawaii home. I recommend you try this place for your morning coffee and pastries,, I love everything about Fendu B read more

This little bakery from heaven is tucked away in the Manoa shopping center. The selection is small but the quality is undeniable. Everything we ordered was amazing. My 2 favorites were the blueberry and the Turkey they were to die for!! This place never disappoints. I really wanted their famous olive bread but they were out. Keep in mind when ordering bread here they make specific ones on specific days. So check their website in advance or call ahead ! Guys if u have never been here stop by for a small snack. I also loved the breakfast scones. read more

1st time here. Came for pizza, got there a lil early, they dont start making the pizza till 11am. I asked if I could place my order early and the girl at the counter said they dont come in until 11am to make pizza but I can place it and they can work on it once they get in. So we ordered a bunch of goodies, placed our order and grabbed a table outside to wait since the tables opened up. The pizza was hot and ready 15 mins after 11. We ordered a half n half basil pesto and goat cheese pizza and a vegetarian pizza. I enjoyed both but really liked the goat cheese and pesto combo. As we waited for our pizza we noticed the crowd here comes and goes in waves kinda of it interesting to watch lol. Highly recommend you grab you a table or bench once it opens up if you're planning on eating there. A few families shared 1 table and we gave the extra chairs at our table to whoever needed it. I think there's 4 or 5 tables and a bench. Dont forget to Grab your napkins and utensils by the coffee b4 you walk out the door. All the pastries looks really yummy. The scones and danishes is their most popular as far as what's in the pastry case. I got a chocolate croissant which could use more chocolate but the croissant itself was divine buttery and flakey just how I like it. Got a petite carrot cake and pumpkin bread both were good and full of flavor. The scones was fluffy and moist not dry like some places just wish it was bigger. I didnt really care for the chocolate mac nut cookie idk if it was heavy on an ingredient or what but it tasted a lil off to me. They also have the Five Star program. Love this program so many businesses nowadays using it to reward their customers. They also sell banana chips from hilo, seasoning and shangri la teas. Lots of parking being right next to Longs at the Manoa Marketplace. Restrooms upstairs. read more

I would give this 5-stars as my kids love this place.. But I can't at this point because they don't always have our favorites! And we do not go as often as we would like since we live on the other side of town.. and yes ;) can't give a perfect rating cause we might jinx them! Hands-down one of the best bakeries on Oahu. Favorites are the Miche, Wednesday cheese-sundried tomato, and the Thursday Focaccia. Quality ingredients = quality products. No preservatives. Yes, we buy more than we can eat in a day but we follow what they say at the bakery--freeze if not consuming within the day. So whenever we get bread from here, the freezer gets stocked. read more

We usually come here for lunch. My mom and I love their curried chicken sandwich. She also likes the grilled veggie one too, but I am still partial to the chicken sandwich. The curry flavor isn't overwhelming and the portion size is just right. It does get pretty busy, so I would recommend placing a phone order. Also, phone orders are allowed to come inside and pick-up, so if you're in line, please don't give side eye to those who have already ordered. they're not cutting, its just how the system is setup. However, if you have pre-ordered your food, don't proceed to add on 20 different things after the fact... It's not fair to those who are still waiting. If you are going to do that, the please stand in the regular line. read more
