I forgot to include Spanish rolls on the list so I wanted to mention them here. So ono! 🤙

I had to laugh out loud when you gave the reminder to peel the paper off the bottom of the manapua cuz I've lost count of how many times I'd made that mistake and got a mouthful of paper with my manapua.😂🤣😋

New subscriber here! I grew up in Hawaii and moved to CA for college (been here 10 years). I fell to my knees with jealousy when I heard the phrase "Zippy's Brand Ambassador" 😂 MY DREAM. CONGRATS ON THAT PARTNERSHIP!!! Also these recommendations...ono kine grindz~

Zippy's Long John's & coconut napple. M Kilani Bakery's brownie 😘😋😘.

nanding spanish rolls!

I just applied to an office position and was just thinking of what kinds of goodies could I possibly be able to bring there if hired… perfect timing! Mahalo 🌺

My favorite is the scones from Diamond Head Market on corner of Campbell and Monsarrat. Ono

brrrraaaah,,, nothing worse than biting into what you think is one charsiu manapua and you get the blackbean filling!! talk about being all habuts for the rest of the day, HAHAHAHAHAHA! Mahalos for this one! 🤙🤙🤙

Awesome video! Lately, I've been bringing ube cheese pandesal or spanish rolls from Nandings. They're pretty cheap too. So glad there's a Nandings off of Kapahulu near the Zippy's😊

Man you just made my mouth water. tfs

Dear Zippy's Brand Ambassador Chris: Can you ask someone at Zippy's to dig up the "spies" and "pies" commercial for Napoleon's bakery that aired in the 90's? This commercial lives rent-free in the minds of plenty locals who would love to see it again. Have them post it on their KZfaq! Turn the process into an episode about nostalgia for your channel! Everyone wins!

Nailed it! Winnahs

Malasadas! YESSS! I miss those! Don’t know what a mochisada is (been away long time) , but looks ono. And manapuas. Fantastic!

In east Hawaii, I would go with Mountain View Bakery butter buns or mochi donuts. They sell out fast, so get there early.

Pipeline malasada is my favorite as well! It stays fluffy and doesn’t collapse like Leonard’s. Yummy!😋

Royal Kitchen char siu bao all day long. Melts in the mouth. Kamehameha Bakery poi malasadas. Leonards old school but still one of the best. Mistuba those little pastries with sweet potato filling. Paa Laa Kai snow puffies. Women love these things. Nandings has the best Spanish rolls. Kaneohe Bakery used to have killer butter rolls.

I enjoy Poi Donuts from Kamehameha Bakery , Malasadas, from Leonard's Bakery, Baked Manapua from Royal Kitchen, Cream puff from Liliha Bakery.

We love all of these and completely love them them all with the exception of Zippy’s mochisadas and Pipeline’s malasadas. Everytime we’ve tried to get them, they’re sold out. We love everything that we’ve tried at Zippy’s and Pipeline (esp the cake bombs) so pretty sure these will be winnerz too!! We’re hungry now!!😋🤙🏽

Leonard's Bakery malasadas were my first thought. Second was manju, which I'm surprised you didn't mention, followed by Liliha Bakery Coco Puffs. Didn't think of manapua as a pastry, but it definitely came to my mind as a food that people bring to the office. Personally, I always preferred the lup cheong manapua, but I'll never refuse the traditional one (char siu pork filling). I definitely get what you're saying about needing a key to help you identify the flavor when there's an assortment. It just feels like too much work for something that should be one of life's simple pleasures. I was hard pressed to think of other pastries that I thought you might mention before watching the video, however, I have friends who are hard core about Napoleon's Napples. Haven't had the opportunity to try the mochizada or croissant bites, and it's been a long time since I had a poi donut, so I didn''t even think of that. Hmmm, I just realized this video should have been titled "Top 6 Hawaii Pastries to Share with the Office." Always too much of a good thing in Hawaii!🤙

hello there fellow YT video watchers

❤love the ideas. Thanks for the suggestions. ❤

Those poi donuts are one of my favorites. Nice chew and not too sweet. Also cannot go wrong with manapua and coco puffs.

OMG ! You are making me want some malasadas from Leonard's 😢😢😢 I can't wait to get back to Hawaii❤❤❤

Great video Chris! Brought back memories bringing goodies for my coworkers when I was at the Kahala Hotel & Resort! Did it a couple of times for work here at Vegas, but felt awkward when I was asked why did I do that. All I said was "just because". Now I work from home and don't need to do that 😁. Mahalo Chris!

Really enjoyed this video - thanks Chris!

When I used to live in Hawaii I loved the lilikoi bars that's good stuff.

If you haven't tried the apple malasadas from Liliha you gotta try it. Kinda expensive but they're huge. Also gotta include Kamehameha Bakery for poi donuts but the real winner there and its not always available is the orange donut.

Snow puffies!

Here's my picks...try them out...broke the mouth & ono good (tasty and great): Kamehameha Bakery - Poi Malasada Leonard's Bakery - Regular Malasada Time's Supermarket kiosk [Kamehameha Shopping Center] - Manapua Island Manapua - Pork Hash (got to have this if we're talking about eating manapua) Big Kahuna's Pizza - Garlic Cheese Balls Foodland's Bakery - Glazed Donuts ---If stuck in a desert, just give me my desserts---

Can you please do a comparison video between Leonard’s vs Pipeline’s Malasadas for those that haven’t been to Pipeline yet? I only know Leonard’s as the best. Thank you 🙏

There's a beautiful little shop near my sister's home in Kailua called bits and bites, she makes delicious scones and cakes.

I like the apple filled bear claws or the apple fritter. Wouldn't turn down any that are mentioned though.

"Wherever you buy malasadas, you can't go wrong" is a strong claim. I'm not here to name names, but I've thrown away a couple half eaten malasadas. I was hoping the croissant bites would make the list. So good.

Good one, Chris. Tanks.

When in downtown you need to go to Mr Donut at Union mall… wings!

Also good: Aiea Manapua, especially pizza manapua and the oily, but awesome stuffed eggplant or stuffed mushroom. Royal Kitchen baked manapuas; many types but char siu still the best. Nanding Bakery Spanish rolls....are they still 3/$1.00?

When you come to Maui... get malasadas at Leoda's🤙

I know this is off topic but there's gonna be a native Hawaiian on big Brother this year a 35 yr old mattress salesman named Kimo!

Where I used to work if you came to work late you had had to stop at Leonard's first.

Fook Lam baked manapua will convert you from steamed. At Zippy’s it’s the Long John’s.

Da office: Sumbodee: "Wut dat?" Otha bruhs & sistahs: "Tsk! No ack! Jus eat 'um!" Same one, da-bodee: "Oooooh, wow, dat's GOOOOD!" Same bruhs & sistahs: "Tsk!! SEE, we *TOL* Yu!!" 😁

Evereebodee kaukau kamaboko saimin & wea kamaboko slippah 😂😂😂😂😂😂 👣👣👣👣👣👣

Can you talk about the recent hike on HOA .. mortgage is high and they pump up our hoa they said insurance.. 400$ per month for it.. we never had hoa insurance before why now?

As everyone ages, easy to gain weight. Manapua can be $3 each, apple turnovers over $4.50 ... to get all these pastries daily is a treat, then must do the cardiovascular exercises afterwards.

🥰

Problem now is price is around double or more. Also one ono pastry is from "da Andai gi guy" at Don qi.

All well & good, Chris but, IF you live Haleiwa/Waialua & you work in Town, gotta stop at Pa'ala'a Kai Bakery, at least, once a month for the SnoPuffies. Or, if you live in Wahiawa & work in Town, Kilani Bakey's brownies and/or butter rolls, is Must have, even if it is once-a-month!-lol. For birthday's, Tanya's Pies for the celebrant....

Chris, you are a Zippy's Brand Ambassador and didn't say Napples? Do people not like Napples any more? Apple Napples are still my favorite pastry.

Maybe I've lived on the mainland too long, but "manapuas" sounds weird to me. I've always just said "manapua" for both singular and plural.

It seems like, especially in an office business, everybody is hemming & hawing about..."oh gotta go to the gym for >90mins session"...Or how everybody watching what they eat,..i.e...gluten-free, watching their caloric/carb intake, blah, blah, blah. They're usually the ones that go back, repeatedly to "check out what's left!"-Hahaha...Those are The Worstest guilty ones!(Is there such a word?!)-lol...Keep da weejo's coming, nephew Chris....

ACK! Chun Wah Kam manapua? Seriously? But all the good places closed now, I guess. Used to go Libby's or Char Hung Sut. Also good but not mentioned is poi malasadas from Kamehameha Bakery. The whole bakery's list of items is good and inexpensive, but poi malasadas is the go-to.

Chris………you wanna be a hero in your office???? Take a tray of celery sticks, radishes, cucumber sticks, and baby bok choy!!! You’ll be the employee of the month!!!! Ps…….be careful of loose women smooching with you in the stock closet!! Carry on…..young man!!!

Why gigahertz. Just eat and say thank you.

Savory or sweet? Savory: Manapua, Crispy Gau Gee, Half Moon, Pork Hash..... Sweet: Malasadas, Andagi, doughnuts, poi mochi, coco puffs, Filipino Spanish bread, mochi, Manju, custard tarts, bread pudding.. The lists are endless. Affordability vs exceptional is always a dilemma for most people taking to the office.

Avoid all pastries for your health.
