Boulangerie Bliss
Deep in the valley at Manoa Marketplace, Fendu Boulangerie is as picturesque as any bakery in Europe. Small batches of a dozen or so different types of bread are baked daily by Chef Niel Koep and his sons, along with flaky, buttery croissants, cream pastries and a ciabatta that alone is worth the drive.
Fresh baguettes with their crunchy exterior and light, doughy interior, are sold fresh from the oven – often selling out by midday. For loyal customers of this perfect little bake shop, the joy is in each flaky croissant, or beautifully baked baguette. For chef Niel, the joy is in the love he has for not just his profession, but his customers.
IT’s that care for his community, and a desire for excellence that keeps his customers coming back. Customer loyalty has been integral to keeping the bakery afloat during these last difficult months. “ I am very lucky to be here,” he says. “ We have the best customers in the world.”
Breakfast pastries and breads are available daily from 7.30 am and a selection of artisanal sandwiches and pizza are served until 3.30. Selling out daily are chocolate croissants and baguettes so make sure to head over to Manoa to avoid disappointment.
