Nene Goose Bakery - Kailua

Love this place! They have the cutest Japanese pastries for kids and the spinach Japanese-style bread is the best!!

Hidden gem for the best spinach cheese rolls and baked goods this side of heaven! It's in a small shopping center where the Kailua Cinema is. Small little place with a sweet lady selling pillowy bread and savory and sweet baked treats. Judging from word of mouth and reviews from fellow Yelpers, the most popular items are the savory buns- namely the spinach-cheese, spinach mushroom and onion. There are other combos like onion, salmon spinach- ALL are good! Not flat buns like at other Japanese bakeries but they stand tall- filled with filling and surrounded by soft bread. She also recommended an anpan with a layer of sweet bean and a slab of soft mochi. Yummy!!! No wonder they sell out in the hour or two after opening! Hours are limited, it's open Thursday to Sunday from 6am to 1pm. Pro tip: you can pre-order and pay the day before and pick it up the next day to avoid the rush. And cash only. Also please be respectful and honor the request to mask inside and limit to one person or family entering.

Located on Keolu Street in the same parking lot as the Keolu theater, this tiny mom and pop bakery is located.They are known for their Mochi filled anpan which very good and they have been making it for awhile. So if you enjoy mochi and anpan you will enjoy them.I also tried the pineapple and coconut pastry look like the texture of a flaky turnover, but instead it was soggy and not flaky which was a disappointment. The filling had chunks of pineapple bits and coconut which was tasty, but if you are looking for a flaky texture this is not for you.I arrived around 11:00 am and the selection was very limited and the customer in front of me placed an order and just purchased the last apple turnover which looked very good.The customer behind me had slim picking because there was hardly anything left.I guess if you are going that way it would be better to place an order ahead of time so you will be able to get what you want.They also sell different homemade breads, but even that was very limited items on the shelf.

Everything is tasty, but gotta try the mochi an pan! The choco animals are super cute and filled with chocolate chips.The doughnuts are bomb, but you need to go early to get what you want.Cash only.

This is really a mom and pop operation. Husband baking and wife manning the counter Located in the strip mall that houses Kailua Cinemas and not the Enchanted Lakes Shopping Center.They sell both pastries and bread.Today my wife went and got us some cinnamon rolls. It had a good buttery cinnamon taste and not to sweet. The prices are on the high side. Will be back to try some of the other pastries and bread. Enjoy.
