I'm only here for the Spanish rolls. Sure they have other baked items but something about buttery sticks of dough, lightly sugary is very appealing when warm. Just don't look at the bottom of the box after a couple of mins :0 The hours of operation works for me. There's always a line formed right outside before they open at 4:30 on the weekdays. Like I mentioned, they have other baked goods and they all look good. I'm sure they taste just as good as they look, I just can't verify. Overall five stars. Plenty of parking when I'm there at 4:20 am ;p M

A small bakery with lots of delish Filipino pastries right in Waipahu. The Ensemada was huge! they also have smaller ones too, but they are known for the Spanish rolls! And it's good when it's warm! The custard pie was rated by one of the best according to my co-workers! Thankfully they sell them by slices!

I love going over there for the tuna rolls and the bread, wife likes the ensaymada's a lot to choose from. Aunty's working in there is awesome if you know then you know but if you haven't already gone there when you in Waipahu then you got to go

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.

Sweet Rolls

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

Fronr case

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.

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.

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.

ube ensaymeda
Kathy N.

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.

The Kapolei spot has super easy parking by Safeway, making it effortless to pop in. One of the main reasons I love coming here is that every single pastry is individually wrapped. It feels so clean, hygienic, and makes it super easy to grab treats to share with friends or family. Everything they make is delicious, but here are my absolute top recommendations: Walnut Raisin Multigrain Bread: Hands down my favorite! It has a subtle sweetness from the raisins and a fantastic, hearty texture. If you're searching for an incredible multigrain raisin bread, this is the one to get. Chocolate Muffin: So light, fluffy, and rich in deep chocolate flavor without being overly sweet. If you enjoy chocolate cake, you'll love this muffin. Red Bean Paste Sweet Bread: Wrapped in incredibly soft, pillowy bread with a perfectly balanced, non-cloying red bean filling. Cookies: Consistently delicious and very reasonably priced! They also have a fantastic app and rewards program. You can easily order online for quick pickup while earning points toward free pastries or coffee. On top of the amazing baked goods, the customer service is always warm, friendly, and efficient at checkout. This place truly brings a smile to my face every time I visit, and I'll definitely keep coming back to support them! Love this bakery!

This review is only for their ube hopia! Does Manny sell hopia baboy?…read more 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.

Stumbled on this bakeshop after dining at a different restaurant. We were there at 12pm and they…read moredidn'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.
