Very busy but worth the wait. If it's your cheat day Nandings is the place to go. Best to go early in the morning when it's fresh. read more

Nanding's Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The sweet lady at the register keeps upselling me by being polite and asking "anything else?" As a matter a fact, of course my bill keeps growing. Spanish rolls are the winner here. There was a lady that was going to order a cake here, I have never had a cake here. My mom gets upset when I get balintawak and paniamo rolls here, she prefers it elsewhere, but I just needed to get some on the plane back home-- it was fine because she wasn't eating it, bless her heart. read more

Love these bakeries in old neighborhoods. Filipino bakery. I read a review about macademia cookies, so when we were going in circles and passing bakery, just had to ask for a stop. There are no cookies for sale. We got some delicious steam buns that had a sliver of egg and their version of lapchern. Got chicken empanada with raisins, but you can'ttaste the raisins. And baked cornbeef with potato bun. Everything is delicious! Good thing we got lost and went by this place. read more

Review is for the Spanish Rolls. Don't let the look fool you. It's not a savory cheese stick, but rather, a buttery, fluffy, sweet (but not overly sweet) cinnamon stick. A coworker brought these in and I got to try one while it was still warm. Inside, there's this light sweet cheese cream that has the same texture as cheese, but not savory like cheese. It's sprinkled with cinnamon powder with just the right amount, making it the perfect snack. I stumbled on this location on Yelp but decided against visiting, but now that I've had it.. I want to try other products and buy a bunch more of the Spanish rolls! read more

Nanding's Bakery - the best spanish rolls - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Came here many times and always hated the super small parking lot or the trash street parking or the horrendous pothole infested roadways. But coming here for the famous spanish rolls make it worth it. I also enjoyed their ham rolls, ube rolls, ube bread, ube pianomo, sticky rice. The staff are fast and patient. There are always huge orders maki the wait a bit longer, but it's always worth it once in a while to clog your heart with some good ole fashion spanish rolls..yummm read more

Nanding's Bakery - Spanish rolls, ube pianomo, sticky rice, ham rolls, and ube rolls - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We had lunch at the nearby, Guava Smoked, and stopped in at this Filipino bakery. Based on the reviews, we tried the Ube spanish roll and Ube cheese pandesal. It was just okay (perhaps because it wasn't fresh and warm?). The true standout was the macadamia cookie! It was one of the best cookies I've ever had. It had coconut in it so tasted like a macaroon with chunks of macadamia. Delicious! read more

this place reminds me of home their spanish rolls are always soft, buttery, and fresh from the oven. it's a simple, no-frills bakery that never misses. get there early cause they sell out fast! read more

The Spanish rolls are always nice & fresh! They have other varieties of pastries too. Service is awesome. The place is located with limited parking stalls so best times to go is early morning. read more

Every once and awhile you need a good Spanish roll and one of my favorite places to get one is Nandings. The small store front and parking lot are hidden on a side street in Kalihi. Walking in you smell all the delights that are found in Filipino bakeries. Pan de sal, ensemadas, a variety of baked buns, anything you could want, but don't leave without a box of hot, fresh Spanish Rolls. Their buttery goodness are sure to make your day brighter. read more

I've had desserts from Nanding's Bakery many times. The great taste and huge assortment of pastries and desserts is impeccable. They have expanded to 3 very accessible locations. The main reason for this 3 rating is for the below average Customer Service. I realize that the food industry is undergoing a major manpower shortage, however Nanding's can significantly improve 1) Adding a fax line to accept phone in orders or an online order system, to make it more efficient centralize the call in/on-line ordering center. 2) Train staff to be more efficient prioritizing their task (restocking 1/2 filled reach ins should be secondary to assisting customers awaiting to place and receive orders) 3) Train staff to meet/greet/welcome/thank the customer, have a more friendly & positive attitude toward customers. In my case, I tried for 3 days to place a fairly large telephone order ($200.+) Unable to get ANYONE to answer the phones at all 3 locations. I finally went down to Gulick St. location to place my order in person. I sincerely hope this review is taken constructively to improve operations for a an excellent ethnic bakery with awesome product line. I truly would like to see Nanding's Bakery continue to grow and become more successful. read more

Spanish Rolls. Pause... that should about do it. Well no, not getting off that easy. When visitors are invited to a pot luck Yelp party, what do you bring? This was sound advice from a local friend who used to be a concierge at one of a prominent Waikiki hotel for many years (Thanks, Todd!). Learning about this on a late January Saturday for a Monday UYE party, I called their Kapahulu store to place my order. Only problem: they were closed by the time I wanted to pick them up for our evening party. Fortunately, the lady recommended that I order from this Kalihi location and, better yet, it was only about ten minutes from the party. Arriving early, we met up with several other partygoers at the site. As we waited for our hosts, knowing the Yelper mentality, we started sharing some of our treats on the spot. Between having shots from Dan O. (https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=N--OQqLEjW24WHZrDfI_JQ), answering horoscope questions for the icebreaker game, and eating Spanish rolls (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/nandings-bakery-honolulu-2?select=i2Bp8jk_suCFc5vSMWm3Iw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), we got the party started a little early. I am not familiar with Filipino food so pardon me for being uninformed. Being Chinese, I would describe them as skinny 'chicken tail' buns (gai mei bao in Cantonese) without the filling. However, in eating them warm, the buttery sweetness of these rolls made any kind of filling unnecessary. I ate one at this time and my eyes widened, like eating a freshly baked donut. Because of the abundance of food at this potluck party, I never made it back for seconds. Glad I was able to share this worthy local treat with fellow Yelpers. Don't think there was much if any left at the end of the night. Looking forward for another excuse to get these. Hope we are able to have these get togethers again in the near future. Take care and be safe. read more

I heard great things about Nanding's Bakery, especially about their Spanish Rolls and Ube Pandesals. The husband and I made the drive over and luckily, we were able to snag some Ube Pandesals; I heard they sell out quick. Unfortunately, we didn't grab any Spanish Rolls, because we wanted to save our stomach for lunch. On that note, I seriously regret not ordering Spanish Rolls because the Ube Pandesals were yummy and I bet the Spanish Rolls are just as great! The Ube Pandesals were fresh and fluffy with delicious cream filling. We ordered three, but I probably could have eaten a dozen! Highly recommend trying out their baked goods. read more

Nanding's Bakery - a hand holding a sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Nanding's is great! I grew up right by here so coming back to get Spanish rolls hit home. I did although decided to come because I was craving Ube Cheese Pandesal. I saw a lot of photos on Yelp about it and was hoping to get some. Unfortunately the day I went 3/9/22- They did not have it available. So I just decided to get 6 Spanish Rolls instead and Golly!! It was so cheap. Only $3 for 6 pieces which was great! If I only had cash on me. They did not accept card payment purchases under $10. Soooo I had to purchase other items that I really didn't need or want. lastly, parking is a mess there. barely any street parking as well. I was luck enough someone was backing out the moment I got there. Great to come back once in a while but definitely will bring cash next time. read more

SPANISH ROLLS, SPANISH ROLLS, SPANISH ROLLS that's all I got to say if your going to NANDINGS BAKERY in KALIHI, I mean their PAN DE SAL bread is good as well but I come here for one thing and one thing only their SPANISH ROLLS (Bruh I can just taste that butter in my mouth just speaking about it AHAHAH). Been coming here for a long time now and basically this is a FAMILY OWNED Bakery that makes different types of FILIPINO PASTRIES, From *SPANISH Rolls *PanDeSal bread *Hopia *Ensaymada *Empanada etc. Parking - they have a FREE PARKING in front of the bakery about 3-4 stalls, don't ever park next door cause the security will tell you too move. They do have street parking but it's always taken up by other people that live near by or work near by. One thing I always do tho when I order my Spanish rolls, I always try and ask them can I have the Fresh batch thats hot and buttery cause when you do get a hot and fresh Spanish roll bruh it's so GOOD trust me. read more

Best spanish rolls in town. We've had most of their pastries in the past, but spanish rolls are always our favorite. Quick and efficient service. The only issue is parking. About 3 stalls store front and the rest are street parking, if you can find. No prices displayed, so it's always a surprise when you pay. read more

I was at their gulick location this morning. I ordered 12 of your delicious Spanish bread. I love your bakery. I know the hard working employees in the back are doing their best. 2 of the bread that were given to me looked like this. Not a big deal. What bothered me is the cashier lady that was berating the paying customer for mistakingly pressing a button and resulting to a larger charge. She kept repeating herself to the poor customer who just took her verbal abuse quietly. In the first place, how did the amount went up to the larger amount? didn't she over charge some items? so why was she so upset at the customer when half the mistake was her? just saying. read more

I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to write a review for this location. Well, my wife went in and I went looking for parking. She said the lady who helped her was friendly and fast. Also told her that this Spanish rolls was made earlier and that they Pan De Coco had just came out. For me the Spanish Rolls made here taste better than the other locations. Why ??? And yes parking a problem. They have a few stalls in front. Stay safe. read more

The Spanish rolls are so very good buttery tasting warm when you first buy it and si fresh too. The service is great they usually have more than two people helping you get your orders filled. The ambience is nice you have time to look for other things to buy like banana bread pastries and an assortment of other kinds of foods. This is the place you come to buy food for the office your co-worker's your friends, family or picnic at the beach. When you have a long drive around the island a great snack for everyone in the car or van grandkids love Spanish rolls. read more

Very friendly, professional staff. And the offerings are diverse, including both sweet and savory pastries - particularly nice if you are starving to death while standing in line! The Gulick location is open a bit later than the Kapahulu one - something good to know when you were tasked with getting some last minute Spanish rolls (me. It's me who was tasked). Both locations have a small private parking lot attached, but be forewarned that there is a LOT of traffic going in and out. It's better if you call your order in beforehand, if possible. These are some of the most economically priced, quality pastries you will find on island. Absolutely worth it. read more

Spanish rolls is always the go to but their butter rolls is a must have when stopping by.

Finally made my way over here to try the spanish rolls and ensaymada. Unfortunely they were out of the ube cream cheese (they recommend you pre-order). The staff was friendly, though they did talk to me in a mix of Ilocano/Tagalog, it was really cute. The spanish rolls were fresh and warmed. We enjoyed those right away. I also got a bag of day old ube spanish rolls which were just as good heated up. The bread is soft and fluffy, though a little more dry than I'm used to for the ensaymada. It was really good to enjoy warm, though I don't think I'd go out of my way for them. Definitely a great snack to enjoy if you're in the area though! read more

The staff were friendly and the food is so good! I got the Spanish rolls and the ube cream cheese pastries. So good!

Let's all guess how much this cost. We are all gonna lose this guessing game because that is not the price on there. How deceiving! So where is the price? None. There is no price posted anywhere in the entire place. Nothing has a price. Nothing. No where. When asking, they seem irritated in telling you the price for everything they have. I'm sorry for caring how much things cost. read more

The Spanish rolls here are our favorite. Go there, try them. That is all. We haven't really tried any other desserts here & I'm sure they're great but those are oir favorite. read more

I go here once a week on the week day. Go early, I'd say 5am as everything is hot and fresh! I order a dozen pandesal and the hot dog rolls as they are my favorite. The line after 5:15am gets a little long and wait sometimes can be annoying as some people in line still deciding what to order in front of the cashier. I wouldn't blame them as the glass window where the baked goods are at is blocked by the people waiting in line. The area is small, so it might be a problem if you are claustrophobic. They have coffee BUT they do not provide the lids. read more

Some delicious Filipino finger food can be found here! LOCATION: This is a small bakery that currently only allows 2 people inside at a time due to COVID. Only about 2-3 parking spots available, we showed up on a Sunday afternoon and there was only 1 spot available at the time. SERVICE: Friendly, quick service! Heads up, there's a $10 minimum charge in order to use your credit card but that's easy here because everything is so delicious :) You can't just buy one thing! FOOD: I pretty much ordered everything that had Ube in it because we're huge fans :) Our ultimate favorites were the pan de sal and ensaymada :P Will we be back? YES, absolutely! read more

There is a small parking space fronting the store entrance for customers. A tiny grab and go family owned business in Kalihi district. Tiny, that social distancing allows 2-3 ppl at a time inside the store. Their display showcase holds an assortment of delightful savory goodies baked fresh throughout the day. Too many choices so I'll be back, soon. Today, mission accomplished with a dozen of buttery Spanish Rolls at exactly $5.03. Cheap! I like seeing the staff sporting the new fad of wearing mask and gloves! Staff is efficient and friendly! Open seven days a week and accepts credit cards. Support local! Covid-19 era. read more

Nanding's Bakery - Spanish Rolls - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Like all bakery, they have all the bake goods, and then some. They mostly famous for the Filipino pan de sal, and Spanish rolls, but have all kinds of other goodies. If I am not mistaken, this was the first Nanding's Bakery, then expanded to Waipahu, and now Kaimuki. If you ever in the area, they have donuts and all types of sweets waiting for you. Parking here in the morning can be challenging, but it's worth the wait and best to eat it warm, fresh out of the oven. read more

Had to make a stop at Nanding's before heading back to the mainland! Growing up I remember not knowing the actual name of Spanish rolls because we'd always say, "let's get Nanding's!" This hole in the wall bakery is still going strong and one of my favorites whenever I come back home to visit my family. We always get the Spanish rolls, which are so addicting with sweet, buttery, and fluffy goodness. We bought a small box which came super fresh with 18 rolls for less than $8. As some of the other reviews have mentioned, there's a small parking lot in front. The store itself is pretty small, so they limit the number of people allowed in the store at a time due to COVID-19. They are super friendly and quick with their service. read more

Yes, the spanish rolls are great if they are hot and have a slight glazing on them. Oddly enough whenever I get a dozen, half are glazed and the other half are not. If they are right out of the oven, it doesn't really seem to matter as they get eaten so quickly as they are just the right size and they are buttery and slightly sweet. I prefer them hot to cold or reheated but that is a tall order as the bakery is across town for me and I seldom get there these days. I am going to try some other items the next time that I go other than the rolls and will post a review of those things later. read more

We bought 6 orders of mungo hopia (36 pieces) Absolutely horrible, They were stale. We also purchased 6 bibinkas and they were also dry and stale. We were visiting from California and staying in Waikiki so by the time we opened the packages, it would have been too complicated to return them. Huge disappointment. If you know your product has been on the shelf too long. Throw it out. read more

We had a group potluck and were going to bring desserts until a friend suggested that we bring Spanish rolls. He said people love them and to order them at a Filipino bakery called Nanding's. Our order was initially placed at another Nanding's location for pickup at 5pm. When we called to increase the order, we found out they were closing at 1pm. The lady on the phone said we can order from this location at Gulick St since it closed at 7pm. We called and placed our order for 50 rolls for pick-up at 5:30pm. Arriving at the store, we were able to park in one of the spaces out front. The lady got our box of rolls, we paid and were on our way. The box was warm and we could smell the fresh bread in our car. Trying them shortly at the potluck, the rolls were still warm and they were so soft and buttery and were not overly sweet. My first time trying these rolls and they were delicious. It's so good, that I will look for them at Filipino bakeries in the Bay Area. read more

parking is horrendous here. only three spot in the front and street parking is also sparse. so -1 star for this. otherwise, the items at nanding's is delicious. i've had ube pan de sal but never with a cream cheese filling so we absolutely had to get that and these are popular as they sell out by 12 noon so if you want them, you have to come early. and we're so glad that we did. they were so yummy! fluffy and the cream cheese filling gave it just that extra oomph and slight sweetness that helped filled us up as this was our brekkie. we also got the portuguese sausage roll. i thought it was just okay but my son loved it b/c he loves portuguese sausage. i did forget to order the spanish rolls though. doh! next time i guess...that is if i can find a parking spot...again. read more
