Napoleon's Bakery Waipahu

They still have the best apple turnovers and the best chocolate dobash cake, my favorite s

I love how Napoleon's Bakery has monthly specials! From August 30 - October 3, 2021 their specials are strawberry gelatin cream pie ($14.35), orange chiffon tube cake ($7.75) and banana walnut coffee cake square ($2.40).Yesterday, I went on the Zippy's app and ordered the strawberry gelatin cream pie and 2 apple napples for my mom. It's super convenient to order through the app because I believe the pick up time is only 15 minutes from when the time you order. You can also choose what time you want to pick it up. Another tip I suggest is, if you don't want to order the whole pie and just want to have a slice. I think you can just buy it by the slice at either the restaurant side or at the counter.The strawberry pie is so wonderful! I think they used to have it on their permanent menu years ago, but maybe because it wasn't as popular, they took it out? That's what I'm assuming. I love jello and pie so this is the best of both worlds! The crust is a little buttery, and I think there is also a layer of chocolate, then it's filled with a custard cream, topped with a layer of strawberry jello and the edges has a whipped cream. OMG, so heavenly! I hope you'll try it and enjoy it as much as me.

I am updating this review so I'm hoping my earlier one-star review shows up as a corrected- starred rating of this Napolean's Bakery.The one-star review started out because I purchased two bakery items: a donut and a cake and both items had foreign material in it: a hair on the donut and a plastic/nylon or other strand of scrub brush or equipment in the cake. I would have just let the hair on the donut go, because in all my years of eating, there has been a hair, here or there. I have found pretty disgusting things worse than hairs in my food, so I was ready to let it go, but then my son found what appeared to be a plastic strand in his cake, so it was time to take action. I didn't want to be out $16 for donuts and a cake we didn't want to eat.I called the Napolean's Bakery location in the evening and spoke to a really nice manager who was really apologetic about the whole thing. He was very sorry and offered me complimentary items for the hassle of having to come back to the store to return the items, but I said there was no need, I just wanted my money back. I told him I'd be coming back the next day with the items, so they can see for themselves what I've found (I took photos but decided to let Napolean Bakery figure it out, so I've taken them down voluntarily).The next day I took the products back to the same store and had to deal with different manager who was not well-versed in customer service. I won't go into detail here but let's say it was not a pleasant experience at all and I left feeling perturbed.I got an email from two managers asking me about my experience so I let them know what transpired, from the time I found the things in my baked products to the service I got, and they were concerned and addressed some of the problems. I knew then Zippy's/Napolean Bakery takes their Yelp reviews and things like this seriously. I'm upping my review rating here from a one-star (eeks! I think not!) to a three-star (A-OK) solely based on the fact that Napolean's Bakery reached out to me and they really were concerned. I would have thought a company so huge that has cornered the local market couldn't be concerned with just one complaint, but they do take all matters seriously and that's all right in my book.

Most FAVE BAKERY!=D Frm Delish Chantilly to Dobash and their JELLO CHEESECAKE SQUARES MMM! They also had Lilikoi Cheesecake Squares a couple of times also! These peeps know how for Bake! Highly Recommend!

Nom nom nom nom nom!I've been purchasing yummy and delicious treats from Napoleon's Bakery for years and since it's normally, if not always, attached to Zippy's it's an easy go-to for a a post-meal dessert!The ladies who work here are literally ALWAYS so nice and cheerful. They're so genuine! How do I know? Simply by the way they cater to my goodies! Whenever I order a slice of one of the cakes, the girl makes sure to rinse & wipe the knife after every cut that she makes - even if it's the same cake! That way, the slice looks so perfect when put in it's cute little to-go package and the flavors don't get cross-contaminated if I order more than one.Carrot Cake:One of my dad's favorites. He said that the frosting is too sweet for his taste, but the cake itself is nice and balanced - it's perfectly cinnamon-y, carrot-y. From what I tried, it's a very good consistency as well. Nice and moist but still hefty and dense like most other carrot cakes.Haupia Cake:Now this one is my favorite! Haupia has such a delicate coconut flavor and since it's paired with a kind of angel food cake, it's a great end to a hefty meal. The cake itself is always fluffy, moist, and so so good! Its sides are dusted with shaved coconut - some people might like it, but I personally don't so I kind of flick most of the shavings off lol.Guava Chiffon Cake:Yumm in my tum!!!! My mom likes this one quite a bit :) It's such a refreshing cake since it's flavors really revolve around guava! The pink chiffon cake tastes just like guava by itself so when it's topped off with the frosting and the guava jelly, oh man. That's an explosion of guava amazingness in your mouth!Chantilly Cake:Amazing. Simply amazing. A real local favorite! If I'm having a super cruddy day, a slice of chantilly cake will make everything all better. I know that I'm gonna have to run like a million miles in order to work it out, but it's worth it for sure. When we try the chocolate cake by itself, it's a good, moist, and fluffy chocolate cake. The flavor of the chocolate is really nice and not overpowering at all. When it's topped off with that delectable, buttery frosting..... Prepare yourself for a broken mout'! I don't normally eat donuts but I tried their glazed yeast donut once and it was pretty good. Donuts aren't my thing really so I'm not one to ask about these deep-fried dough and sugar treats. My mom really likes the corn bread and bread pudding. I find that the corn bread is usually dry but their bread pudding is super good! I like to warm mines up a bit so that it's a bit gooey and true to its delicious potential. It's dotted with raisins and sprinkled with cinnamon, yessssss.As the years pass, I find that their products continuously improve and get better :)
