Fendu Boulangerie

Great fresh baked pastries may be found here! Come early for the best selection!Service is filled with Aloha and your questions happily answered here. Picked up a few scones, a chocolate croissant and something new called a Bostock (Bostock is a classic French pastry made with brioche or croissants soaked in a sweet citrusy syrup. It is similar to French toast.). This one has an almond flavor to it. Food: 5/5 starsAmbiance: 4/5 stars Clean and inviting. Small in sizeService: 5/5 stars

Solid boulangerie in Mānoa that I'd always make a drive for if I'm in the area!Kind folks and have gotten food and goods multiple times from here. This time we got the croque monsieur panini and basil chicken pesto sandwich and both were good. The croque monsiuer was crunchy and filled with warm and gooey brie and enjoyed it as a solid lunch.They serve brewed coffee and some sodas. It's outdoor seating, so it makes for a great relaxing weekend. Manoa farmer's market is also nearby.Overall, good spot in Manoa that I'd return to for lunch.

There was a weird vibe, was not warm or inviting. The bread was on the back wall, and it was hard to read and what it was.The Gourmet Grilled Cheese Sandwich was tasty but half a sandwich and that half was small. Not worth 11.50 but I get it, it's gourmet. Not worth it. Went early afternoon and all bread was sold out.Workers seemed emotionless.Biggest take, overpriced bread and sandwich.

This used to be my go-to bakery for really balanced sweet desserts. Unfortunately, Manoa has never been a convenient stop for an indulgent danish or tart. But they make everything fresh, without too much sugar, and without hydrogenated oils.Once in a while, when I am in the area, I will stop in for some of my favorites.Their pear tart is served as a rectangular slice. With a buttery crust, and a frangipane base topped with Bosc pear slices, this is the best I have had in the city. There a several Asian bakery chains that do a nice individual sized Fuji apple pie but again, Fendu's version is the best. A mini Fiji apple crumble pie striped with white powdery sugar.A couple of danishes are long time standouts. The lychee streusel danish and the mascarpone pear chocolate danish will satisfy a morning craving for sweet to go with your coffee. And if sweet is not your thing, then the mango scone - a mini two bite wonder that is moist without being wet and a mild mango flavor - is the way to go. Stick with the sweets. Their croissants are not as good as what you can get in Kaimuki. Their breads are fine, but again, you can get significantly better loaves elsewhere these days.

Croque Monsieur panini didn't taste authentic but it was certainly a very filling (if not too filling) sandwich with lots of cheeses and buttered bread. Fendu is one of the best bakeries in Hawaii and we are glad they are still serving French delights!! The Japanese lady in the kitchen was very warm and friendly too!!

"Cake By The Ocean" - DNCEFendu Boulangerie in Manoa by the mountains, far from the ocean.Any business that has the word "bou" and "gerie" reminds me of "bougie", like expensive or luxurious. It's a bit intimidating to hear that word "boulangerie" and when I say or utter the words, I feel a bit filthy for some reason, like I am a peasant who cannot afford any fancy bougie pastries.In this case, my order was about $65 with yes...THE TIP. I really detest how businesses now require you to put a tip for patronizing their business. Really. If it weren't for this tip crap, this place may have gotten a 5-star. Lychee Streusel Danish $3.50 each, very good! This is one of their most unique offerings, and I have never seen this any other bakery before. Totally loved the flaky, buttery danish with lychees on them. Fabulous!I ordered a bunch of other things, including a lilikoi chocolate mousse which was superb, but the rest, like the berry panacotta was just average.

Excellent bakery in Manoa Marketplace. We wound up coming here twice during our trip. We got the breakfast panini which was to die for! Chicken, egg, pesto, sun dried tomatoes.. so many of my favorite things all sandwiched between a perfectly crispy sourdough bread. AMAZING! We also got to try the lychee danish which was delicious, a very popular item here but they do sell out, so best to go in the morning. Apple danish was good as well and pineapple scones were also great! Chunks of pineapple! Yum!

It's been while since I last been here and this time got one of their croissants and a lychee danish to go! Great bakery spot in Manoa Marketplace! We ate our baked goods later in the afternoon with some coffee. Yummy!

First time coming here and was very pleased with the food. Cute little bakery with sandwiches and pastries. I ordered the chicken pesto panini and it was delicious. On the pricier side ($15) but very filling. If you love pesto this is the sandwich for you. Can't wait to be back and try the other paninis on the menu.

I recently discovered this gem in Mānoa. It's my Sunday ritual to stock up on the freshest sour dough and ciabatta bread for my week. Not only do they have amazing bread & divine desserts, but the service is 10/10. The Sunday crew is amazing!! So helpful & welcoming. Nic, Jane, Gus, and Bryson are absolutely the best. It's not just the bread that keeps me coming back. If you're looking for the best bread & service in town, look no further. This is the place.
