    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!

    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。。

    Another 5 stars to my favorite Bakery I've been ordering pre-order pies from Ani's for the past 3 years and never disappoints. These guys got it organized so smoothly you pay online and you pick up across the street at the district park so convenient. They were also collecting non-perishable canned goods for St.Elizabeth church . I immediately went to my pantry and got a few things together. To my surprise i received a free Ani's sweet bread since I donated "Score" Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. If you haven't tried Ani' s pies I highly recommend. Of course it's not cheap like Costco but you pay for what you get . Need to treat yourselves once in awhile Life is too short . Plus support local

    Guava bread = HEAVEN! Always a must when we're back on island! Pleqde don't neglect this little mom and pop shop, their goodies are so great! We always bring home bread back to the mainland for family and friends!

    Ani's place!
    Desirae C.

    We traveled from Utah just for this hapia sweet potato pie! Amazing and decadent, with a macadamia nut crust and topped with stiff whipped cream. The sweet potato is perfectly prepared. It is a large pie, enough for eight people to fill up on. Aesthetically pleasing, a must have if you are in the area!

    Half of 12 gone already. I'm in Salt Lake City, Utah today.
    GLENN F.

    What's the best "omiyage" from Hawaii? Yup Ani's sweet bread. I always make sure I order a box of 12 sweet breads. The appreciation and smiles is all I need. When I'm in Japan or on the Mainland!

    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.… Read more

    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. ?

I don't really have a sweet tooth-I'm a no icing, no frosting kind of girl. I wouldn't dream of eating a cinnamon roll with icing, that's a no for me. But their donuts are delicious all the same and can definitely scratch the itch if you do have a sweet tooth. As someone who's vegan, it can be hard to find a dessert I actually feel good about, and this is one of those places. Everything is taro-based and cooked in coconut oil, which I really appreciate. Just a heads up-all of their donuts are taro donuts. The flavors come from the toppings, so if you see something like a strawberry one, the donut itself isn't strawberry--it's the topping. Their offerings change, ( they do have their core donuts that don't change-and I usually go for one "naked"--no glaze. Sometimes I'll get the honey and sea salt one. Right now they have a seasonal donut called Black Sabbath that's black sesame, brûléed banana. Every time I've been in, I'm greeted right away, and there's plenty of free parking. They get your order out super quick. If you don't want a whole donut--or you're eating in your car and don't want to make a mess--their little donuts called Holeys are the perfect pop-in-your-mouth option. The place has always be well kept and clean - and they have a very spacious, and equally as clean, bathroom. They also have an app where you can check the menu, keep track of your rewards, and manage gift cards, which makes it really convenient. Also, if you're not signed up for their rewards program, do it. You're basically passing up free donuts if you don't. Give them a go, share your experience and if your taste buds celebrated. SYOY!
