    Delusional always a stop when in the island for a sweet treat. If you have not tried them worth your time and money to make them a stop while you are here.

    I waited in the car while hubs went into Nandings. They didn't carry my two requests so he got my third choice, an Ensemada plus his own decision, a custard pie. I ate from the bottom up, the bread like part was so soft. I worked my way pinching off pieces, savoring each one. Save the best for last, the sugar topped butter- comfort snack at its best.

    When we got there, there was one party ahead of us. Shortly after, people were waiting out the door. It was so hard to choose but we got the ube pianomo, baked mini manapua, tuna roll, hot dog roll, arabiki roll and half dozen spanish roll. The lady that took our order was friendly and inside was clean and organized. Ube pianomo lacked sweetness. I wish I chose something else. I was looking for the guava pianomo but they didn't have that. I should've gotten the mango pianomo. The mini manapua were not good. Despite two of the items we got not being that good, everything else was great. Spanish rolls were hot and soft. Taste was good but I wish there was more butter on it. The tuna roll was excellent. I want more next time. Hot dog roll was so good, I wish I got more. Many places don't use red dog so next time, I'm getting half a dozen of these. I also enjoyed the arabiki roll. Can't go wrong with arabiki. I'll be coming back when I visit Waipahu again. I want more pianomo and other items.

    I will give credit to my husband for coming up with last minute idea to buy their #1 top, best selling item, Spanish rolls for a picnic rather than spending another hour baking a dessert in the kitchen at home due to time. I entered and said, "Good morning!" The Filipino ladies were very sweet and answered our questions regarding an unlabeled, flaky pastry. We found out it's mongo beans filled pastry on top, open counter. Sounds interesting. Will try that next time. Although the space is small, layout from left to right is easy to navigate in choosing sweet and savory, homemade variety of Filipino pastries. We ordered: 1) Ube Cream Cheese Pandesal: ube bread was not sweet. The crumbs added a layer of texture. Cream cheese filling tasted light, not sweet and complemented or balanced ube pandesal. Yummy! 2) Sweet rolls: my son selected this pastry because he's in the mood for bread. He commented,"It tastes like sweet bread, not super sweet, filling is plain." That's some humongous size! 3) 2 dozen Spanish rolls: the top selling item, buttery with crumbs, that can withstand the humidity, was gone in a few hours consumed by kids, tweens, and other adults at Ko 'Olina Lagoon. Kindly inquire and order Spanish rolls. They are made fresh in the back so don't freak out if you don't see any in glass case display late morning and early lunch. There's also Ube Spanish rolls which are delicious and added a pop of purple swirls. If you're craving for jumbo size ensaymada, get your fix here too. Don't expect to find long john. That's how you know you're in a Filipino bakery. We're very grateful! I also thanked the Filipino ladies, "Maraming salamat po." They were elated! That threw my hubby in for a surprise!

    The only thing I regret is not ordering enough Biko! I fell in love with it, super delicious, perfectly sweet, and sticky in the best way. Definitely the highlight of my order! I also tried the pineapple puto, which was a little too tart for my taste, but the banana bread was really good. I got Siopao for my partner, and he enjoyed it too. If I go back (which I definitely will), I'm getting way more Biko. That dessert was unforgettable!

    Came here for the first time at this location. Nanding's will forever be known for their Spanish Rolls. They are so flavorful and yummy especially when you first buy it. I've hadn't had Spanish Rolls that can top these guys. They have another shop in town on Kapahulu near the Zippys. Staff is fast and friendly. There's enough parking even when it gets busy. No restrooms inside.

    Nanding's! Their Spanish rolls are a local staple here in Hawai'i and for good reason. Soft, warm, and made fresh to order, they're so addicting and it's hard not to eat several at a time. Always brings up great memories to locals near and far, and so great to bring to potlucks for parties. Open every day, plenty parking, and friendly staff. Highly recommend and check them out!

    Nanding's Bakery famous for their Spanish Rolls. Located in Waipahu just after Kuni's Restaurant. The ladies are very friendly and super quick. There were a few customers ahead of me, but one of the ladies took my order. By the time I reached the register which was only a couple of minutes my order was already ready . They also have a wide variety of baked goodies freshly prepared every day. Definitely a must stop when visiting Waipahu

    Ube roll
    Rayne U.

    Who doesn't love Nanding's Spanish rolls? Buttery bottoms, airy & fluffy insides, just the right amount of brown sugary topping & the perfect size! The ube rolls are just as tasty! They have a good variety of other Filipino baked goodies as well as seasonal offerings. The aunties behind the counter are friendly & quick. Located on the corner of an older strip mall off Farrington Hwy in Waipahu.

    Visited hungry. Left full and satisfied. Both plain and ube filled spanish breads were a treat. The stuffed portuguese and corned beef breads were amazing! Uncertain why the negative reviews. They take credit cards but do bring cash if sampling only a few pieces of baked goods. Support local businesses because this is an awesome one!

    Inside Spanish Bread
    Elizabeth V.

    I keep hearing about this Spanish Bread that is the talk of the island which is what took me to Nanding's Bakery in Waipahu. Located in a shopping center with many other businesses so parking can be very challenging! Nanding's Bakery opens super early at 4:30am, and I'm being told this Spanish Bread is brought to every function here on island! Very small venue and customer service was amazing. We ordered; 2 dozen Spanish Bread - AMAZING, soft buttery sticks of bread with just the right sweetness and love the fine crumb texture on the outside! Adobo pork roll - I wasn't a fan of the flavor. It was totally different flavor profile than any pork adobo I've tasted. Definitely stop by Nanding's Bakery for the Spanish Bread if you happen to drive by one of their locations as I believe they have 3 different locations on island. We have something similar in California but I have to admit...Nanding's Bakery supersedes the California version.

    Custard pie by the slice (2)
    Marlee B.

    Waipahu's Filipino bake shop. I love so many things here! Ube cream cheese pan de sal is always soft. Hopia is fresh as heck. Custard pie by the slice reminds so much of my dad- yummy. You can even preorder.

    I had higher hopes for this bakery because I tried the location that's closer to Waikiki. This location, the lady didn't seem very patient, but I also bought ube pandesal. The second one I started eating, tasted really bitter after taste to it like a cream cheese was spoiled or they mix the baking powder and the baking soda to have the bread have such a acid like taste. I'm hoping that it's a one off because I still have two more. In the bag.

I inhaled the ube pandesal but that ule Bulilit bread? MY KRYPTONITE! The ube jam had my skirt flipping. Ube pandesal is a popular Filipino purple yam bread roll, characterized by its soft, fluffy texture, vibrant purple color, and often filled with cheese and ube halaya (purple yam jam). It is made with flour, yeast, sugar, ube powder/extract, and milk, then coated in breadcrumbs and baked. I learned that ube Bulilit bread is a popular Filipino bite-sized, soft bread filled with sweet, purple yam (ube) jam, most commonly sold by Valerio's Tropical Bakeshop. These small, chewy, golden buns are known for their vibrant purple filling and are often enjoyed as a snack or dessert. They offer a subtle, creamy sweetness and are a staple in Filipino bakeries, particularly in Hawaii. This place is not safe. Had I been the one to enter this establishment, I would leave lighter in the wallet and definitely heavier in weight!

The first thing I must say is that the bread is soft, not too sweet and good. The cream in the coconut bread is light, fluffy, not overly sweet and the whole thing together was a rather positive experience. I had a few words with the lady behind the counter and she said that they're super busy morning time. Of course, without zippys next door, they got all the baked goods business. I enjoyed their breads and I will definitely return. They probably have been in business for a long time, however this is my first time going and I will return for sure!
