Nanding's Bakery Spanish rolls are a local classic you'll find them at almost every potluck or office party, and for good reason. Soft, chewy, and buttery with that slightly sweet finish and they're best when warm, and honestly, one piece is never enough. You always end up going back for more. Stopped by the Kapahulu location, super convenient with easy parking, which makes quick pick-ups a breeze. read more

Items Gifted from friend: 9/10 Ube Silang Roll - Ube was natural and swirled inside the semi crunchy pastry which has brushes of butter also swirled on top. Perfect amount of sweetness, slightly salty, buttery, and ube jam to bread ratio. 5/10 Ube Cheese Roll - Ube bread was just purple. I did not taste any ube flavor. The cheese in the middle was cream cheese so it was very heavy and overpowering. Do not recommend. 7/10 Ube Ensaymada - Similar to the Silang roll except it's all soft bread so no crunchy texture and no butter swirls and the ube jam is very little so it's mostly just bread. read more

Whether you like it or not you probably have tried their Spanish rolls at least once because of someone bringing it to a party or gathering. The Spanish rolls are what they are known for but their other baked goods are delicious as well! Such a staple in the community and it is surrounded by other great eateries as well. It's just a landmark and if you're Filipino you already know - I don't need to say anything about this place except that you have to try it lol read more

Nanding's Bakery in Kapahulu has been around for a long time. The OG location is in Kalihi. On the corner of Campbell Avenue and Martha Street near Zippy's and across from Guava Smoked. Prices are lower than most bakeries; they also offer a discounted day-old section, for an even better bargain. Nanding's are known for their Spanish Rolls, a butter lovers dream. I picked up an Ube Ensymada and Adobo Roll. The former was alright, not as fluffy as I was expecting. The ube filling was alright. Latter had a decent portion of pork adobo in the middle...actually, more off-center, which is my aesthetic and mindset anyway. Adobo could have used more vinegar. Pricing and service is excellent. They are open 600a till 500p daily. I went in at 700a, and they were sold out of some pastries already. Parking...maybe on Martha,'or one of the other side streets. There is the Zippy's lot...but one should also patronize that establishment is you park in their stalls. read more

Still a great neighborhood bakery to consider. They specialize in Filipino style sweet and savory delights. Their spanish rolls are #1 and so buttery. Love their ham/cheese rolls and pandesal too. In fact, everything is worth trying. Nanding's bakery usually is fairly busy, especially in the morning when workers are buying goodies for the office or clients. Located in Kapahulu near Zippys and Rainbow Drive Inn. Limited parking, but street parking is usually available. read more

Nanding's is a local Filipino Bakery founded in 2001 by Fernando Paez, who grew up baking while living in the Philippines. After he had moved to Honolulu to reunite with his family in 1996, he baked bread at his home to sell to Filipino hotel workers at local bus stops. However, the State Dept. of Health told him that he needed a legal business to do so. In compliance, he used his nickname, Nanding, and opened up Nanding's Bakery in Kalihi in 2001. He expanded the bakery to two more locations, Waipahu in 2007 and Kapahulu in 2015. All 3 locations are staffed by the Paez family members that include 3rd generation family members. This review is for Nanding's Bakery at the Kapahulu location. As with the other two locations, Nanding's Bakery Kapahulu is known for its signature Spanish rolls that are tubular, fluffy, buttery and rich in flavor. The Kapahulu locations bakes more than 2,400 Spanish rolls and 500 other bakery items per day. Other popular items include pandesal, pork adobo rolls, ube-filled puff pastries, custard/pumpkin pies, rice desserts, ensaymadas, fudge brownies, bread loaves, cookies, scones, empanadas, and more. They also sell Filipino snacks, sauces, and small can goods. Prices are very reasonable for these baked items as compared to other local bakeries. My favorites are: * Spanish rolls. They're so soft, rolled with rich butter with a slight salty taste. Smaller than a hot dog bun, they're best when eaten just out of oven. * Ensaymadas. They're soft, sweet spiralized pastries that are topped with whipped butter and sugar. So rich and flavorful! * Ube cream cheese pandesals. These purple, slightly sweet yeast-raised rolls are pillowy soft and filled with light-tasting melted cream cheese. So delicious! Customer service is provided by Paez family members who are very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the many pastries that they offer. Their part-time worker who works on weekends, Cassandra Morete attends high school at Sacred Hearts Academy, and her parents manage the Kapahulu Bakery. She states she is giving back to her family to help them succeed so that her siblings have a more secure future, as well as carrying out her family's legacy of baking. The bakery interior is clean, bright, and spacious. It has a number of almost-new looking display cases and racks that showcase the baked goods. All items are grab-n-go. Be careful of the step-up at the entrance; otherwise, you may trip and fall. Located next to Zippy's Kapahulu in the former Domino's Pizza location and across the street from Side Street Inn, Nanding's has free parking in its small parking lot of 4 spaces on the side of the building. Note that once you're parked, you must reverse out of the space. Street parking is also available. Hours of operation are: Tues to Sun 6a to 5p and Mon 6a to 1p. With its extensive variety of fresh pastries at affordable prices, we'll certainly be back to try different items! We hope the Paez family can continue its legacy with future generations!

The west side of Honolulu is lucky to have Filipino restaurants and bakeries easily available. For the east side of Honolulu, not so lucky. But at least there is Nanding's Bakery to get your Spanish Rolls and Pandesal fix. This place is located in Kapahulu, along Campbell Ave., next to Zippy's. There is free parking along the side, entering from Martha St. Really easy in and out. Inside is your typical small bakery with everything all on display. You choose what you want, get it boxed up, and out the door you go. It's hard to call it real Filipino bakery just cause it just sells the basics: Pandesal, Spanish Rolls, Ensaymada, and incorporates Ube. There's a lot more than that! I think it's more of a mix with local baked goods. Perhaps it's more tourist friendly being close to Waikiki? Nice, friendly staff. Be sure to let them know how many items you're planning to get so they may grab the appropriate box. I tried a number of items. It was hit and miss. The best one was the Macadamia Nut Cookie. Nice balance of sweetness and butteriness, and excellent nutty and toasty flavor from the macadamia nuts. The Honey Oatmeal Cookie, on the other hand, was not bad. Nothing special. Not too sweet. Your usual dry, oatmeal cookie. Weird everything is called a roll--even the ones that are buns. For the buns: corned beef was ok. It tasted like they just scooped it out of the can and stuck into the bun. Adobo was good. Nice portion, tasty filling that was more on the savory side for adobo. Tuna was ok. The bun was dry. Filling was bland. Onto the real rolls: ham and cheese was good. Bread was good. Nice amount of ham and cheese. Arabiki was ok. It was just the sausage and bread. Bacon was very good! It's bacon! Ube Spanish Roll was ok. Nothing special. Very light Ube cream inside. Regular Spanish rolls were nothing special. Feel like it's just the same everywhere. Butter rolls were really good! Bread was soft and buttery without feeling heavy. Dare I say better than Liliha Bakery? Lastly, the Ube Pandesal was good. Soft, slight sweet and buttery without feeling heavy good Ube flavor. Overall, a decent bakery that has a good (and usual) variety of items and the only one that offer a decent amount of Filipino baked items. I like how everything isn't overly sweet or heavy and you can taste the main ingredient. The cookies were good. The rolls/buns were hit or miss. At least now I know which ones! read more

Tiny little hole in the wall with a nondescript signage but wow...the baked goods are super yummy! The bakery is bustling and the servers are helpful. I think they said they have been around for over forty years. Many of the staff appear to be relatives of the bakery owners which probably helps with quality control. Probably the best known items are the ensymadas..surgery, buttery, light, airy and super soft as it melts into your mouth. We ordered a four pack. Since we were there we ordered the ube rolls, pecan bar, chocolate cookies as well just to try. Everything was good! The pecan bar was nutty with caramel like binding on a buttery cookie like crust. The chocolate cookie was huge and keep in mind there are nuts in the cookie. Delicious with each bite! The magic word is butter! read more

I've never been to a nandings before but have eaten it many times. Go early in the morning and they have discounted bread. I like getting the old rolls and putting them in the oven for a couple mins to warm them up. They are a lot cheaper than the fresh ones. There is a couple of stalls next to the building and service is always quick. read more

WHERE HAVE FILIPINO BAKERIES BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE? I have been seriously missing out. Ube cheese pandesal. Pork and potato filled buns. Ensaymadas. We didn't think to try them, but evidently the Spanish rolls are locally famous. There's a very famous bakery down the street. It's good, but I'm pretty sure they have nothing on Nanding's. Lovely folks work here, who seem to be kind to all comers regardless of background (racial, economic, etc...). If I'd been given the option to tip on my credit card, I would have done so generously. read more

Nanding's Bakery is located in the Kapahulu area and offers a broad range of baked goods. I tried the Spanish roll ($0.80 each) and it was quite tasty! Only complaint is that the roll I sampled was a bit hollow inside, and wet? I believe the moisture comes from butter. I was hoping for a fuller bite, but it was delicious nonetheless. The cashier who was working the counter today was patient and friendly. I was impressed with how quick she was! There seem to be parking spots to the side of the bakery, sandwiched between Nanding's and the Snoopy Store. The ambiance of the bakery isn't lavish or luxurious, as it's a modest grab-and-go kind of place. Overall, I had a positive experience and would visit again! read more

WHEN: Sat @6am Been up since 4am due to jet lag so my friend and I figured we'd walk there--actually we ended up driving there. They have thier own lot to park in for free. This small Filipino bakeshop has a large variety of pastries and we ordered a bit of everything. They have savories, sweets, and even cookies! Also, prices are decent! Pastries here range $2.39-$3.19 Cookies range $3.49-$3.69 Spanish Rolls are $0.80 each or $8 for a dozen. I"m glad we are able to come early cuz I can imagine a lot of these pastries being sold out quick! Yummy!!! read more

The pastries are always good but the customer service though is so-so. Been going here since they opened this location. Continously coming here since it was closer to our grandfather's house but we usually go to the original one in kalihi. This morning at 609am, we decided to go to this location, on martha street. But before we headed that way, we called to ask if they had anymore butter rolls because they always sell out before we get any (lol), the girl lady who answered was so punchy, as if she didn't want to work or just asking before going there was a problem. Within the phone call, could hear the displeasure in her voice that it set us off a bit. Came in the morning(624am)& told her I was there to pick up the butter rolls[also got 2 custard rolls), gave me the roll of the eyes. How rude & unwelcoming. It's no wonder family members & neighbors say go here after a certain time, otherwise better off go to the kalihi one since they're nicer, welcoming & know them better. Received our butter rolls & 2 custard rolls. Niece wasnt pleased of how the custard roll looking like someone squeezed the puffiness to it. One was puffed up while the other looked like it was intentionally squeezed, we even took a vid in the parking lot before we left the location lol. You can kinda see it in the pic of how it looks like too. Still taste good though lol. Overall, pastries good but knocked 2 stars down due to lack of customer service on the phone & in person. Lack of presentation of the pastries. That girl lady needs to choose whether she wants to wake up to work with a positive attitude & tone OR wake up to get another job with her already bad tone & attitude. She was giving Nandings a bad rep, knowing this family business has strived for years & an absolute milestone for the filipino community. read more

FRESH, HOT Spanish rolls. Always get 2x more than you meant to get, because the first round will be gone while you're in the car on the way to wherever you were going. I was disappointed the last time I was there though, because they no longer make Balintawak and it was my second favorite thing there. Just watch your step as you go in and out! Once you're in, they are so nice and pleasant, and keep the establishment super clean. read more

While everyone is preoccupied with getting Leonard's down the street, Nanding's is sort of the best kept secret for being just as good of an office pleaser when you roll in to your office with a box of fresh, hot Spanish rolls. A quaint Filipino bakery that has a ton of baked goods choices, my favorites being the pan de sal and the ensaymadas, but of course nothing can beat the fresh Spanish rolls. The staff is always friendly, parking is a little strange (you kind of have to ramp up onto the sidewalk) but there's also plenty of street parking around so it shouldn't be an issue. Check this place out! read more

Have you tried Nanding's Spanish Rolls?!? The rolls are so delicious specially when it's warm! Come get yours at Nanding's Bakery. They have three convenient locations on Oahu -- Kapahulu, Kalihi and Waipahu. They are open from 5:00 am to 5:00 pm. You can pay in cash or if you use your debit/credit card, you must make a minimum purchase of $10. They have 5 stalls behind the store. I was assisted by the staff, Jasper, and he was friendly and I could tell he smiled despite the face mask on. It was around 8:45 am when I walked in and it was nice and quiet. The store is clean, just need a little reorganizing to make the space seem bigger ;) I got my ube cheese pandesal, Spanish rolls and Spanish rolls with ube. The ube cheese pandesal is one of my favorite! I love cheese and ube and it's combined in this pastry!!! *purple hearts*. The Spanish rolls is another delicious pastry that is enjoyed by me and many others that I know. Any of these pastries are good to bring when visiting families and friends or to bring to potlucks or to gift any of your favorite workers! The store also sells ready to drink cold drinks and instant coffee, condiments such as vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, and even sardines and liver paste (some know it as pâté that is used on a warm bread or for ban mi sandwiches. As always, thank you for reading my review. Have a great Wednesday! read more

Well I've been to Nanding Bakery in Kalihi also Waipahu before many times . Here on Campbell and Kapahuluu I think 2 times . Overall I would say average Philippino bakery they carry all kinds of sweets .Uber rolls , Ensaymada , adobo roll, ham & cheeese roll, hot dog and their specialties Spanish rolls. I was very disappointed in their Adobo Roll as you can see in my pics . I literally took 2 bites and I still didn't reach the filling . Lots of bread not enough filling . $2.39 a pop I think they should put a little more Adobo filling . Service was a little slow as well I put in a pre-order for Tuesday for my co-workers and the counter person showed some confusion. I'm hoping that she got the date and time for pick up correct . Sometimes you just get the feeling that there going to mess up your orders . Parking is very limited 3 stalls on the side of the building if not street parking is available .

Nanding's is a Filipino bakery known for delicious Spanish Rolls which is a bread roll with a traditionally sweet filling made of breadcrumbs, butter or margarine, and brown sugar. I was happy to see they were open very early in the morning and we stopped by the bakery to get some pre-tournament snackies. The bakery was empty and their shelves were fully stocked. They've got all kinds of goodies available like ensamada, pandesal, pianono, puto, bread, and so much more. They even have savory options like sausage rolls! I was in a bit of a rush so I kind of randomly picked whatever looked interesting which happened to be almost everything ube, lol. Ube spanish rolls, ube cream filled pandesal, ube silang, and a sausage roll, etc. Definitely recommend taking your time if you can though because there were so many other things I wanted to try after looking back on my photos! The spanish rolls were unsurprisingly delicious and I enjoyed the ube cream pandesal as well. Definitely recommend a stop here if you're craving Filipino pastries! It made me nostalgic for mornings in the Philippines with fresh baked pandesal. Best part is, they're reasonably priced and won't break the bank! read more

Did you know Nanding translates into Leonard in Filipino?! Yes, found out this lovely tidbit from my MIL. lol It's like Filipino Leonard's!! Anyway, my previous co-worker recommended this place to me for their Spanish rolls. I have tried the regular and ube Spanish rolls, the regular and ube pan de sals, but my favorite item here is the ube cream cheese pan de sal. Yum! They run out quickly so I can only snag them in the morning. The shop is small, and they have maybe 3-4 parking spaces. They only take cash under $10, but it's so easy to spend over $10 (then ya can pay with card), even with affordable pricing. Service is great! I always recommend this little known gem to visiting friends and family. It's one of my favorite Filipino bakeries, albeit tiny. Yelp 2024 Challenge: 19/30 read more

The Kapahulu location is one of 3 for Nanding's. So I go here because I needed to stop at Safeway to grab a few items for my dinner of the evening. The Spanish Rolls from Nanding's were part of my menu as it accompanied my seafood paella. Back to Nanding's: Street parking or stalls behind the building (that is, if you knew about it) OR if you're planning to run in and out, be like me and park in the Zippy's parking lot where the stalls abut the Nanding building. FAST! I got us Spanish Rolls and learned not to go there hungry because I walked out of the bakery with additional butter rolls and a bag of cookies! Go figure. They were all good! I was lucky to get the Spanish Rolls right out of the oven! Priced right and reasonable. Worth your time and effort to get yourself some of their delicacies. Go there! get your goodies OR be square read more

Nanding's Bakery is a hidden gem of a locally owned bakery that is a block off Kapahulu. The tiny shop is bustling in the morning as local parents and children stop by for a freshly-baked breakfast pastry before heading to work and school. The bakery is Filipino owned and is most famous for their sweet rolls. I was intrigued by the assortment of savory rolls including sausage and bacon rolls. The pastries were beautiful. I settled in on a bacon roll that was delicious. The clerk is sweet and carefully wrapped my roll. Prices are incredibly affordable. Where can you get a fresh breakfast pastry for $2? There is some awkward parking out front, but I walked. It's not too far from Waikiki or Diamond Head. There there early for the best selection. read more

Went closer to close and they still had quite a lot of breads and treats to choose from. Went for their classic rolls and Pandesal. Will say, the roll is quite oily but the service is smart enough to know to double bag the items. Pandesal was good and filled, not sure that I tasted too much ube but did the job. No interior sitting area as it is a park and walk up bakery. read more

Not sure if it's because we came here 30 minutes before closing or just an off day but every single item was dry, bland, and barely filled, which is baffling considering how much buttery flavor Filipino breads usually have. We picked out quite a few breads but somehow didn't reach the $10 minimum for card so kept picking more...only to find after walking out that the woman helping us somehow forgot about half the items we asked for (though at least we weren't charged for the stuff she didn't put in). We always name bakery items one at a time to give employees time to put each in and the way she nodded after each made it seem like confirmation so I have no idea what even happened there. read more

Came here to try the Spanish rolls, they are the same as Señorita bread at star bakery in San Diego. They are small and light have a slight sweetness and saltiness to them and come hot out of the oven or most likely reheated in the oven as you order them. I thought they were good but think the ones in San Diego are better. They also have a bunch of other pastries that look good, I'll probably get one of those next time instead. Theres a small parking lot that holds 2-3 cars max, so be prepared to find street parking. People seem to like them which is why I came here for my small party. They are pretty inexpensive but also pretty small. They are 70¢ each if you order individually or 63¢ if you order by the dozen. Friendly and patient staff, my brother got a few other items so maybe that's the way to go. read more

Always a favorite place to stop when in Kapahulu. Employees are always nice and friendly.

Nanding's is a bakery offering all the basic breads you'd hope to find. There are ube variations, rolls, and many other types. They also carry more filling options like rolls with sausages or ham and cheese. Arrive early to get a fresh batch of baked goods. There's no seating inside and no restrooms. There is a tiny table that can maybe tit two people on it. There is also a cold drink cabinet. Don't expect to find any tourists here, this is a truly local's spot. read more
