Manoa Bakery Cafe

During our visit to this local bakery for breakfast, my friend and I enjoyed delicious made-to-order breakfast sandwiches and coffee. While the bakery offered a diverse selection of baked goods, we found the service to be satisfactory. However, we believe that updating the decor could enhance the overall dining experience. Furthermore, we noticed some ventilation issues in the bakery, as the cooking odors seemed to linger and stick to clothing.

Cute, family owned corner bakery/cafe. Open interior with lots of seating. The dining room is huge so it dwafts the Pastry and Bakery display a bit. They have good selection and fair prices. Lower overheads and no need pay franchise fee probably help with that. Service was decent and quick. Their pound cakes and soboro breads are my favorite here!

Latte is creamy and smooth. The breakfast egg and turkey sandwich is from another planet. The sandwich was fresh and clean and full of flavor. The lettuce crispy and not old, the bread was obviously freshly baked and toasted to perfection. I've been back twice, and I have not been disappointed. If you're looking for good, clean, healthy sandwiches this is the place for you. The staff is always nice and the inside has plenty of seating to eat or do some work. Love this spot!

Stopped by for a quick breakfast on a road trip. I ordered a large coffee and an egg and bacon sandwich. The food and coffee is made to order. The coffee was so good! The sandwich was seasoned well and the egg was soft and fluffy. The milk bread is sweet and melts in the mouth. I bought some treats for the road. The cakes are so soft, delicate, and airy. Unlike American cakes, they don’t feel heavy nor are they weighed down with icing. The staff was friendly and restocked or cleaned the public areas between customers. The store is clean and smells like a bakery.

Absolutely amazing bakery. Exterior might throw you off, but it’s interior experience is delightful. Ambiance is good and have enough seating space. Good selection of Korean bakery option. I liked how fresh everything is. You don’t have to worry about how long it lasts as it doesn’t have preservatives, you’ll finish it in no time. That’s just how good it is. I have seen majority of people taking bakery items home. Cheese & Egg, Bulgogi and Spicy pork are my favorites from the sandwich menu. Espresso is nice and so is Mango bowl and Strawberry Bing Soo (Snowflake). Abundant parking available in front. Will definitely recommend this place.

Bingsoo - black sesame & strawberry were good, but there was a lack of condensed milk so it felt like so you would get spoonfuls of just ice without a lot of flavor when you run out of black sesame/condensed milk to pair it with could've done with a bit more. The coffee bingsoo seemed to have a good amount of condensed milk though! Same with the mango (although the mango pieces taste like canned mango) Sandwich were quite good, fresh, nicely toasted, and the fries remind me of the fries I had in my high school cafeteria. And for the price it's hard to beat. Bread! I would argue that this might be the best bakery for Asian/Korean bread in the area. So many varieties but it's worth going early because they sell out fast! Also very decent coffee!

Hands down the best bakery in the area. Incredibly friendly staff, fresh bread, amazing sandwiches, great prices, super clean, free games, great coffee and drinks, great vibe. Endless positive things to say about this place!! Will be back!!!
