Stumbled on this bakeshop after dining at a different restaurant. We were there at 12pm and they didn't have much. The pastries were good though. We got onion hopia, guava manju, loaf of bread and hot dog. I really liked the hopia. It was a thin layer of bread and the hopia filling was stuffed. I liked that it was bite-sized. The guava manju was good too. It was moist and the breading was thin which is nice. Service was good. Prices were ok. Very, small bakeshop. read more

Purchased this around 11:30 this morning and my husband ate more than half and notice there was MOLD in the roll . Should have been a red flag when the lady said there were ants in the char siu manapua so she didn't sell it to us. First time going to this location and will be the last. Beware when purchasing from them. read more

Manny's Bakeshop & Restaurant - MOLD IN SAUSAGE ROLL! - Bakeries Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

Review for Mannys at Windward mall farmers market. During the pre-Covid days, Manny had way more bakery selections to choose from and none of the items were packaged like it is now, so you could buy them individually. I really thought that Mannys had really good tasting manju. The azuki, blueberry, apple, all so crisp and light. Fast forward to 2025. The manju and most of their products are all bagged, I got the azuki manju on several ocassion but it is not the same. It doesn't taste the same. Probably a different baker and the filling is a skimp. Today, I got a sore tummy and then some and will no longer be getting the manju or anything from mannys. read more

This review is only for their ube hopia! Does Manny sell hopia baboy? I grew up in San Diego in the 90s when this one mom-and-pop Filipino bakery in National City, CA sold the best hopia baboy (pork) until they closed down. Then another mom-and-pop shoo in National City, Ching's Hopia opened up and is still going strong. Some time in between, my Lolo (grandpa) brought some hopia baboy straight from the Philippines...Eng Bee Tin brand hopia baboy, to be exact. Yes, it's the same famous family brand in Manila's Chinatown, Binondo. So yeah, hopia has been a childhood favorite of mine and Eng Bee Tin and Ching's have ruined hopia for me lol! You'll never see me buy pre-packaged, store-bought hopia! I missed out on Ching's during my last San Diego visit, so I really wanted to try Manny's Bakeshop's ube hopia. The interior is no frills and the displays never look packed in the afternoon. Maybe they have more selection in the morning? A bag of 11 pieces of ube hopia costs $5 flat. Minimum $10 purchase is required to pay by card, but luckily, I had enough cash with me. To my surprise, Manny's ube hopia were pretty good. They have faint ube flavor, but still flaky, pretty moist, and not too sweet. I saw someone commented on the lack of ube flavor, but I thought this was comparable to Ching's but slightly smaller. I've never tried Eng Bee Tin's ube hopia and I heard they invented ube hopia to satisfy the Filipino market? Maybe Eng Bee Tin's is bursting with flavor, but until I can somehow visit Manila Chinatown or San Diego, I'm content with Manny's ube hopia. Manny's also has a stall inside Waipahu Festival Marketplace. I've consistently seen hopia there as well. read more

Confusing storefront used as the kitchen, rather than the store where most goods are sold. Very nice employee who was willing to help us find something, but unfortunately, they only had banana bread and pandesal available at the time. We were directed to visit the Manny's Bakeshop in Waipahu Festival Marketplace on Waipahu Depot St. When I asked what they had there (to be sure it was worth the drive), the guy provided a list of baked goods - some of which we did want to try. Unfortunately, by the time we arrived at the market roughly 10 mins after, only Hopia and white bread was left. :( Prices are very reasonable tho! I decided to grab a loaf of bread since the nice lady working was yelling out to try the bread (haha!) and one plastic baggy of Ube Hopia. The bread was delicious and soft, almost identical to the store bought Golden Coin brand. The Ube Hopia was lightly sweetened, crispy on the outside and "bready" on the inside. Wouldn't get it again because it was pretty dry and had no ube flavor whatsoever. You definitely wanna have a drink while eating the hopia... preferably a hot one to defuse the cotton mouth LOL! $5 Ube Hopia $5 White Bread Loaf Paid by credit card and didn't get any upcharge. Heads up, there's a $10 minimum for using card. Oh and parking SUCKS at the Waipahu Market. read more

I leave in San Francisco and One of my Co-worker mentioned this Bakery to me a while back and when i went to Honolulu i was able to Visit and tried their pastries. It's worth every Penny. Their Malasadas is the Best in the World Not just in Hawaii. They have a very Friendly staff. There's less Pastries in the window because you have to be there early , Most of their products are gone before the end of the Day. The place is small but very Cleaned ... read more

2/25/26 - Purchased a bag of ube hopia for $5. Contains 10 of what should be small balls of pastry with a flaky outer crust and ube filling. Wasn't fresh. It tasted like it was a few days old and had a dry, chewy texture. Also tried heating in the microwave and toaster oven with no improvement. Seems the flour to butter ratio was off. So disappointed that it wasn't the same as I remember. read more

Their service is good and the food is delicious ! "Manny's Bakeshop is known for its delicious and freshly baked bread and pastries. The food is always tasty, affordable, and made with good quality ingredients. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the service is fast and pleasant.

This review is of my experience on Tuesday, July 5th. Brother wanted to try this bakery in the small strip mall where the old Highway Inn then Rainbow Drive In was located. Told him first, well I gotta go take blood test at the same lab where the old Big Way Waipahu (now called Waipahu Festival Marketplace) along with other shops share the same parking lot. I knew from reading briefly that Manny's had a small outlet selling goods inside of the Waipahu Festival, but both of us knows nothing would beat going to the bakery itself. Right??? After my blood test, we drove to the bakery and got there about 8:10am, I saw a sign perched on top of the orange safety cone. As I got out of the car stating to 'pardon the inconvenience as they are doing some remodeling'. Boy, as I walked up to the shop there is this older retired gentleman sitting outside fronting doors like he's security (lol). I was taken back as to what I saw... no one in front, the two display cases to the left and front were 'practically EMPTY' and no one acknowledging my presence. I could hear a lot of noise from workers in the back kitchen, so I kept saying out loudly HELLO ! HELLO ! Finally, a female in her mid/late 20s came out to the front and I asked where are the pastries? Is this all you have ? Looked to be a little pre-packaged small round pastries on only one shelf. Her reply: "Oh, you have to go to Waipahu Festival, the pastries are there...". 'What'? I told myself fuming... Why would the bakery not BE a bakery, but acting more like the production plant ? I told her I just left there (that parking lot where the blood test lab along with Waipahu Festival was located). Before I left, she did say they had in the back Spanish Rolls and Pan De Sal available, but because she said the pastries were at the other location I decided to just leave. Again... urghhh... is this bakery in this strip mall a production plant or a bakery that produces and SELLS ??? Drove back to the other location... found the stall where its outlet located (front/left of the building looking between the left entry/exit and the left side of the building). Ugh... disappointed ONCE AGAIN... ALL pre-packaged pastries except for the malasadas (priced at 60 each each) that were in a large plastic rectangular tray with cover (wonder how it breathes and not sweat) ? All on top of a long table... with the bakery signage stating what they sell (but not offer it today). I asked where are the cinnamon rolls --- she said, oh -- maybe tomorrow they make. Yes, just what I needed to hear... what I wanted to get, but didn't have. So, so disappointing... so I just chose the 'apple' manju packaged (6 @ $5) and the 5 malasadas (as some reviews talked about their malasadas) at $3. Paid straight $8 as I guess the taxes were already included in the price. Brother took same malasadas and a pre-packaged of 2 pieces pan de 'coco' as that is what the woman told him and a pre-packaged 1 piece ensaymada (btw, there are many spellings of this word). Dropped him off and I went home to eat my breakfast. Tried opening the 'apple' manju and saw the inside more with grated coconut... tasted much like coconut... was it mislabeled? Opened another one, and same thing... what? Anyway, not until I ate the 5th and 6th manju the next day (today) did I ever taste a 'hint' of apple (maybe a slight of applesauce)... I would call this package mislabeled. However, its taste was moist and *very good* for the price. As for the malasadas, wow they ARE small (well, what you suppose to expect for it being priced at 60 cents each) ? Initial bite --- ok, some fluff but then as the bite was complete, it became slightly dense ... nothing like malasadas... tastes just like a regular granulated white sugar donut to me... DO NOT BUY as I would say this is an insult to the Portuguese Malasadas. Brother had the same comment about the malasadas... bad ! His pan de 'coco' was actually pan de ube instead... But the lady told him that package was the coconut filled bun (come on woman --- get your act together !). He did like the enseymada (again, different ways of spelling this word) as it was 'fluffy, light as air... good". To close out this review, I would not return... nor definitely go to the bakery next to Waipahu Town Center as at that time of the day, it hardly had products to sell in its display cases. Then get disappointed again at their outlet as only certain pastries were available on this day and I don't like them pre-packaged as it sweats due to not being able to breathe ... Stick to Nanding's Bakery or Valerio's Bake Shop... they are WINNERS and will support those two unless Manny's Bake Shop corrects their own practices of operating a bakery. Hence, the two stars only... read more

The puff is so good . Everything is good with this Bakery. The dough is not to thick and it's just right . The only problem with this Bakery is that the shop needs to update there Phone number. Other than that the Bakery is good. I Like this restaurant better than Nandings . Customer service at Nanding can be horrible and rude. Mannys Bakery the owner daughter she makes the customer feel like Ohana. Very Hospitality. read more

Went to the shop to try their hopia but they were all out and told us to go to their shop in waipahu festival market. Went there, no seller around, but had a full display of baked goods. As we were figuring out what to buy, this lady behind the counter pops up from probably a tiny chair. Caught us off guard but she was so funny and sweet. We all laughed throughout the entire transaction! Hopias were amazingly good! Will be back for more hopias. read more

Manny's Bakeshop & Restaurant - Hopia onion and ube - Bakeries Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

4/21/21-Windward Mall farmers market Wednesday w/my two little grandsons! I just adore being with them! They call me "Grammy "!!!! I was craving something,but I didn't know what!!! Stepped up to the tent to oogle @ the pastries & my boys became quiet all of a sudden!!! U know why right?!? The eldest decided on "Hot Dog " manapua. I saw different flavors of "manju " ! Guava,blueberry,coconut,apple cinnamon & ube! I was just gonna get a few but saw the pricing & they sell it 5/$3 I think! Okie dokie! Let's just get all five! The best flavor was guava! So sweet,sticky & tart! The outside is like a pie crust ,the inside is like a pie filling. Many years ago,I introduced the apple manju to a colleague of mine who is from southern Florida. She loved it! She described it as a mini hand held pie! We tried everything from Manny's! Especially the Cream puffs! Ai sos! So delicious! Visit the the bakery because I haven't yet! They have a cafe too?!? Let me know Yelpers! read more

Manny's Bakeshop & Restaurant - 4/21/21-Manny's Bakeshop @ Windward Mall on Wednesday! Assortment of manju.Guava is king - Bakeries Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

Love their assortment of Malasadas. Also try their ube bites. Customer service is always good.

I have yet to go to the bakery that's located next to Highway Inn, at the front of the turn where you'd go to Longs and Shakey's pizza, but I tried Manny's bakery at their food stand at the Home and Garden show at NBC, and it's definitely something different that's worth a try: Hopia - 5 stars - For $1 they gave me 3 pieces of hopia, which has an outside crust equivalent to Char Hun Sut's Mai Tai siu. I really liked this dessert which had a nice flakey crust and lite sweet coconut taste inside. Small enough to pop into your mouth. Creme puff - 4 stars - for $1, I can only describe the creampuff with a filling that tasted the same as the topping of Liliha's cocopuff, but a little lighter. I also liked this dessert. Spanish rolls - I didn't get to eat this since hubby ate it before I could get to it. I need to stop by this bakery to see what other treats they have. read more

Nice assortments but don't go in to early cause you'll find nothing on the self. I walked in at 7am found nothing on the self but they had Spanish Rolls in the back along with pandasal, nothing else tho. Maybe next time I'll go in at 9am. Spanish Rolls were to sweet for me but pandasal was good. read more

1st time coming to their store front in Waipahu next to Highway Inn. The show case didnt seem to have as much stuff as I normally see at the Waipahu Festival Market and Windward Mall Farmers Market but still had the Spanish roll so all G. I guess you have to ask what else they have bcuz I wanted chantilly puffs and that was in the back. I like the Spanish rolls here and Nandings it just depends on my mood. Sometimes the Spanish rolls here doesn't have equal flavor in each bite tho. I also ordered an ensemada and honestly I had better. I'll stick to the Spanish rolls, malasadas and chantilly puffs. Lots of parking Small ole hole in the wall bakery and yes its shows the age. They packed all my stuff in brown bags. read more

I went looking for this bakery because my sister told me the cream puffs were very good, and my sister loves cream puffs. The bakery is small and there weren't many items in the display case. I didn't see cream puffs but saw it on the price list so I asked and was told yes they had them. She disappeared in the back and came with my order. When I reached home and ate one, I agreed with my sister. They were good. But the next time when I went to purchase some to take to friends I got a big surprise. The clerk disappeared in the back and brought my order and I paid for it. When I got to my destination and opened the pastry box and ate one, they were frozen! I threw mine away and apologized to my friends. The clerk did not tell me they were frozen, I would never have bought them if I had been told. I will not be going back read more

Glad they are in Windward Mall every Wednesdays and Sundays At Farmer's Market. Our favorite is the Ube Hopia which is 3pcs for $1. and oh I am so happy that they have "Pan De Coco" now coz it's my childhood favorite and I've been waiting for it soooo long... finally! read more

First in for all its pandemic there's people inside the bakery but when one lady came out she wasn't even wearing mask or gloves I didn't tell my cousin to not order anymore because I was shame to say but when we got our order the bread wasn't even fresh it was cold . So we decided to Return it . I came back inside the store n told the lady if there's a fresh bread she said no and she said there bread been sitting there n she could warm it up but I said no I just want my refund n she seems disappointed when I wanted my refund . Of course I rather want my refund than keep their bread that were not even gonna eat it I didn't want my kids to eat it n maybe get stomach ache from it . Never going back here ever again for being a first time customer . read more

Spanish rolls! The mere mention of them will stop me dead in my tracks.....so when I saw them at The Windward Farmers Market that's what I did. Not only did we get the Spanish rolls, but also the manapua and Portuguese sausage pastry. The Spanish rolls are filled in the middle with butter and sugar.....different from Nandings. Personally I like the Nandings Spanish rolls better when they are warm, I like Manny's better at room temp. My husband prefers Manny's Spanish rolls.....I think because the dough is so soft, sweet and not heavy at all. You can't go wrong with the manapua and Portuguese sausage pastry, not only because they taste great, but the price was only $1.00 each! Thank you Manny for coming to Kaneohe with your delicious pastry so I don't need to drive all the waaaay out to Waipahu ;) Yelp 365 Challenge: #23/365 read more

A few of my friends always see me check in to the other place that sells spanish rolls and they said you should check out Manny's Bakeshop. its literally down the street from the other place. Then one saturday i said, Ill try all different places today instead of my usual saturday joints. So the first stop of the day was Manny's Bakeshop in Waipahu. Its located in in a strip mall with w a few other places to eat. A few things I order is the Hopia and i get one order of onion and another order of black bean. Ordered about half dozen of the spanish rolls and some other stuff like like the adobo, anpan, and ham and cheese. The spanish rolls weren't that great to me. They were bigger, but the butter stuff they used wasn't has flavorful as the other guys. -THe adobo was all bread and little to no adobo inside. The meat had alot of vinegar on it. -The anpan and ham and cheese again were all bread pretty much. The thing that really saved this place was the Hopia. They are smaller than usual from what I can tell but they are SOO good. I will be coming back and buying alot of those little bad boys.! But all in all, okay place but I'll stick to the usual spot. read more

I always stop here on Wednesday's at the Windward mall farmers market! The chocolate and ube malasadas are divine. They have such a unique take on malasadas, and I actually prefer them over Leonard's! The cinnamon rolls are light and baked to perfection. So many savory and sweet options to choose from, definitely swing by and check out their selection! read more

I haven't actually been to Manny's Bakeshop. Waipahu's a bit out of the way. Fortunately, Manny's is always at the Windward Mall Farmer's Market, so we can get our fill of their delicious treats without driving all the way to Waipahu - driving to Kaneohe isn't as big a deal. Spanish Rolls: Only 50 cents. Soft and buttery. Pan De Coco: $1. Bread/bun is soft. Coconut filling is moist and generous. Adobo Manapua: $1. Had to think twice before getting this. I like adobo and I like manapua, but would I like them together? There was only one way to find out ... buy it and try it. The verdict? Tasted a bit like teri beef. Maybe I'll stick with the char siu manapua next time. read more

Note - CrowdSavings.com's recent deal $4 for $10 (one day 20% off deal) at this bakery does not work. The bakery's family said they didn't authorize the deal; that someone is doing a scam on them. They were nice to honor the deal, but my wife & I felt bad that they would be taking a loss, so we paid for part of our order, since we already paid CrowdSavings $4. With that said, I would rate the bakery 3 1/2 stars. Their apple manju is a 5 star item - flakey & sweet; their Spanish Rolls a 4 star - bready and sweet,(Nanding's Bakery has the best Spanish Rolls, but Manny's is a close second); I didn't think their cream puffs were anything special; neither their an pan (Liliha Bakery takes the honor here); and their ham & cheese pan was fine. Most of their items are either 50 cents or a dollar, so a good value place for bakery items. :) read more

Two words: Spanish Rolls! I personally like theirs better than Manny's (bigger and tastier). They also have other baked goods, including manapuas and an pan. I really wanted a turnover for my dad, but realized they don't display in the front case (you have to ask for it cuz they may have other things in the back!) Ordered 6 manapuas and 6 Spanish rolls and it cost me $11.55. Good deals! Cheers to Spanish Rolls in Waipahu! read more

Manny's Bakeshop & Restaurant - Bakery case (early in the morning) - Bakeries Near Me - Waipahu, Hawaii

I bought some Apple Manju at the Windward Mall Farmers Market yesterday April 19, 2023 and took it home made a pot of coffee to enjoy it with and the Manju was horrible. I actually had to spit it out. It was old and not even EDIBLE! It's always so flaky but today just hard and old. I tried to call them and nobody answers. For two days I've tried and I do believe the phone doesn't even work! Shame on you Manny's Bakeshop for even selling something like that! What the heck happened? Usually the Manju's are my all time favorite! Have to rate 1 star until you make this right! read more

4/2/2023. Just came from Windward Mall Farmer's Market today. I purchased Blueberry Manju and it was Terrific. Nice and flakey just like the Sam's Sato's Manju in Maui. You don't have to go to Maui to get Great Manju. Just go Manny's Bakery. Also try the other flavors. read more

Besides the Spanish rolls there are an assortment of other items such as a ham and cheese roll, a hotdog roll and manapua. Please see my pics. I tried the pork adobo manapua and it was delicious.

I would recommend more of the pork adobo filling in it. read more

We had Spanish Rolls at Manny's after getting lunch at the Highway Inn nearby. Just a short walk from Highway Inn and a great place to go for dessert. The Spanish rolls were delicious and cheap.

Went out of our way to try some Pork Adobo Manapua. Arrived there an hour after they were open at 6:00am. Since they open at 5:00am. The elder lady says that it's not ready, she's waiting for the dough. Went out of our way again at 12:30pm to buy some. Now a younger lady says that they didn't make any today. That's just bad business. Lying to your customers who gave you the benefit of doubt with what you're telling them. Broken customer trust. Will never return and will recommend not to patronize this business. read more

Despite the name, this place is just bakery. I heard it used to be a restaurant/take out place, but not anymore, so now it's just concentrated on Filipino pastries. I've tried their pandesal, Spanish rolls, hopia, and pan de coco. The pandesal is just okay, but I prefer the kind with the harder top that is difficult to find here. Manny's is soft and fluffy, if that's what you like. :) I don't like their style of Spanish roll (I'll recommend Nanding's style). Their Spanish roll is in the same style as Valerio's, where it's like pandesal with the butter/sugar filling inside, but Manny's bread is much softer and fluffier. I actually came here on the recommendation from a worker at Nanding's who said that Manny's has the best pan de coco. In comparison to the nearby Filipino bakeries (Nanding's and Valerio's down the road) it is definite much better. :) The owner is really nice and if they have something just out of the oven, he'll offer to let you taste it if you haven't before. Everyone I know who's gone to Manny's and met the owner has reported the same thing, hehe. Yum! We each have our preferences, and I just happen to not like fluffy, soft pandesal. But I'll also take a bowl of old, cold rice over warm, moist rice, so if I say the pandesal is "okay" it might be great to you. ;) If you haven't tried this place yet, go in and try some pastries (free samples, didn't you read?! :-D), I'm sure you'll find something you'll like. :) read more

I have never been to Manny's but I have visited their booth/string of tables at the windward farmers market almost every week. The staff is friendly, and always gives me new recommendations on top of the spanish rolls that I normally come for! Spanish rolls are a filipino bread that varies between islands/counties and so forth. Everyone has a different version of the recipe. This one is not only authentic filipino bread but it is DELICIOUS. If you come early enough when they just get there, they are warm, with the great delicious full/fluffy texture and then the buttery goodness inside! UGH..............and the kicker, they're only 50 cents. YES YOU READ IT CORRECTLY, 5 0 --- 50! So I got 10 today, for $5 flat! HEAVEN. Now I can keep them and try to eat only one a day till next week! read more

212/365 I finally made it to their store today and it was a filled with containers of bread-y goodness. Clear plastic containers piled high and filled with spanish rolls, pan de cocos, manapuas, etc. For this visit I was craving for their spanish rolls so I got a couple of that and their pan de coco. The spanish rolls go for 50cents and the pan de coco was $1. The owner, I think manny, was the one helping me out after "ringing" for him from the back as no one was in the front when I entered. The shop smelled delicious of sweet and yummy, fresh baked bread goodness. The pan de coco was good, soft and fluffy with a good amount of filling that wasnt too sweet. Overall, i'd definitely come back here to get my bread-y fix. read more

Came here today to use my voucher I bought of tippr. Why did I wait this long to come see them! I bought $10.00 of their Spanish rolls and boy where they delicious! Just as good if not better than nandings. I say this because it is not as greasy as nandings but still packed full of flavor. I just found my new spot for Spanish rolls. Plus the guy working at the counter was super friendly. Customer service goes a long way. I will be back for sure! read more

One day, my mom brought home some hopiang baboy (Filipino pastries with sweet pork flavored filling). They're usually not my favorite flavor (compared to munggo or ube) but I was bored and I wanted to try it. They were delicious! I found out that she got it from Manny's Bakeshop, so I decided to venture there myself. When you first walk in, it's just a tiny Filipino bakery with a few items on display. I brought my friends once, and they joked around, "Hmm, what's there to order?" They have more items in the back; you just have to ask what they have. I've tried a few things here, and it's standard Filipino pastry fare. It all tasted ok to good, but the one standout pastry for me here is the hopia (which is one of the few things they display in the case). Favorites: If you're ever in Waipahu, pass by here and get some hopiang baboy (the black bean hopia is good too). Over here, the hopia are bite-sized (about 1.5 inches diameter) and go for 3 for $1 (last time I was there). This may not be as nice looking as Valerio's or Golden Coin, but you should come down here and check out their hopiang baboy. read more
