BRUG Bakery Manoa Marketplace

This location has an area for day old bread. The shop is quite small, but organised. The cashier was not energetic, but he was helpful and kind.Overall I like the location and the bread. I go whenever I'm around. Their bread is standard Brug.

Went there on a rainy weekday just around lunchtime. The parking lot was full but quick turnaround so it was easy to snag a fairly good space (the parking gods were kind on this rainy day). There are a lot of food places and people seemed to be at each spot so there was no crowd at any of the food establishments. Ever been to a restaurant that has lines out the door while the next door eatery is empty? Always feel sorry for the diner with no one, but not sorry enough to patronize them. Anyway, the woman holding down the fort at this location was polite and greeted me. I was looking for the cream bun topped with coconut flakes but they didn't have it. She pointed out another cream bun so I took it and a half loaf of bread. This place seems smaller with less options than Ala Moana or Pearl Ridge. About the size of Kahala, yet Kahala seems to carry more product. I'm not sure why the bread is thickly cut. Brig has a sister bakery that has Mana bread that is sliced thinner.

Love this Brug...not usually very crowded like the other locations. Young workers, all polite at the very least. Some helpful to open door since I always have the stroller...but I can manage regardless. Baby likes the sausage roll...but I eat the sausage. Some I like...some not as much. Just a personal preference. We go pau hana time, so hit or miss what's left. Sometimes choke, sometimes not as much. But we always gotta take a peak to see what got!

Sweet or Savory...That's the question whenever you approach BRUG Bakery and that's what i was deciding as I was in the area of Manoa Marketplace.Located in the backside of the Marketplace right beside the playground but as it's 4pm which is pretty late for this bakery I was surprised to find it still open and though many of its selections are gone was happy to still see many yummy choices.As i checked in with Yelp there is an offer for a free pastry with $15 purchase which i didn't do today but is a great offer that I hope to remember in the future to redeem. As I entered was surprised to see how much smaller this location is but does seem to offer quite bit more items like crafted coffee and soft serve or even better combine them for an affogato!I did find a couple items one for tomorrow one for a snack and as I checked out the staff was such a delight as we talked about random subjects and just fell in love with this location especially with convenient free parking in the Marketplace.Thank you!

This is probably the smallest Brug I have been to but it still carried a lot of different pastries. I even got a couple of things I haven't seen in ages at the Pearlridge or Ala Moana location. Lady working was very nice but didn't say much. Since it is such a small store, can't fit too much people in there maybe 5 max. Lots of parking available in the shopping center.

I was visiting from Las Vegas and passed by Brug while in the plaza it's located in. I was immediately greeted by the workers. It's a cute walk in bakery with a huge assortment of pastries, bread, sweets. I purchased a cinnamon sugar mochi donut and a bear filled with chocolate cream for my flight back home. They were individually wrapped and were fresh. They both tasted delicious and were not too sweet. I wish I knew about Brug on my first day in Hawaii. I would have gone daily to get a morning pastry. I found it on the day before I was leaving to go back home, but I'll definitely return on my next trip. What a cute and unique bakery to satisfy sweet tooth cravings.

I usually visit the Kahala Brug. Today I tried the Manoa one. I have to say I won't be back to this one.Basically everything was gone.About to walk out when I see these baskets labeled day old 20 % off.The girl said. There not 20 % off we're getting ready for tomorrow.I said it's labeled day old.20% off.She said that's what we do here.So I took these pictures to show how nicely they're packed and labeled.I'm pretty sure if you put sometimes out labeled that's what a customer should be charged.

Brug Bakery in Manoa Marketplace is smaller than the ones located in the Ala Moana Center. The bakery has a fine assortment of sweet and savory items. Most of the baked individual items are priced between $3.50 - $4.50. The bakery is also known for the breads. There was one service person in the store and she answered and suggested items to a customer. Really pleasant and personable service. Free parking right outside. Manoa Marketplace.

I love this BRUG as much as I love the other BRUGs I've been to on island; most likely the most consistent bread shop you could ever find. It's one of the smallest BRUG shops so they don't have a lot of wiggle room for shelf space so that does take away the opportunity to experiment or open their menu for more options, but that's okay because the daily breads they serve is the reason why you go to BRUG. You go for your classics, but pick up a new seasonal item while waiting in line. Speaking of, this BRUG shop is very small so depending on the line, you might have to wait outside. I do wish this shop would open an hour earlier to catch more of the morning crowd faster (like me) since theres a Sbux across the street. But I totally understand if it's a staffing issue, shout out to the one male employee holding the fort on 12/22! He was stocking, ringing, and customer serving all with a smile and great attitude and he was....getting his bread LOL. Is that phrase too old already?Anyways, this is the third or fourth BRUG I've reviewed and they're all amazing, so give this one a try if Ala Moana is too crowded for you and you're in the area!

I have yet to try the soft serve. Today the machine was not working. I ordered the coffee jelly with milk. I still have to poke it with the straw.Wednesday is senior discount day. Good pasteries but near the end of the day the selection thins out. Staff is usually friendly at this location. I am slowly adding up points on their reward program.The other Brug locations do not have the coffee jelly drink. One can get a coffee jelly drink at Mana the sandwich place - same owner.
