I’ve never been in the store, but family members get bread from here sometimes. not bad for a starter bakery, but they can improve on the taste of their pies and bread.

Late post. but we came here on 8⁄26 just before we left to return home to the mainland. We had been meaning to stop over to try this place during our stay and kept missing the turn. Warning… there are lots of construction going on so just beware. if you miss it, your going to need to do a couple of u-turns. Anyhow, the owner of the baker was very nice, the meat pies and baked goods just came out of the oven so the bakery was smelling fantastic! We bought, 2-ground beef, 2-turkey tail. We didnt eat the pies until we got to the airport. The crust was wonderful, just the right flakiness. It didnt fall apart when you bit into it, so it was a perfect on the run food. The beef had good flavor. My husband at the turkey tail pie and said it was good. Cant wait to try the other items when we return!

Here’s the thing. I… am not a chef. I can, however, see food plated in my minds eye. When I saw Franceddie’s meat pot pie… I knew exactly what I was going to do. Let me give you the straight dope, this is no Patisserie La Palme D’Or…it’s not Elvin’s…it’s not even close to Bread House. It’s a about a hundred miles away from a Zippy’s(in appearance). It is a Samoan bakery. But, I am a practical man. I see beauty in everything. Waipahu is a mess. The rail construction upheaval has momentarily(smh) destroyed Farrington Highway. I drove in a circle following the listing on the Unilocal map which took me to Tanioka’s Seafood and Catering, I am not easily dissuaded. It’s one of my few redeeming qualities. I called… Franceddie answered. We met. She seems so very young. I bought three pies and six panipopo(a gift for a Samoan friend and his family)…we talked about the panipopo and how it would be served. Franceddie had never met a southern man. My entire purchase was just under $ 15. Franceddie has a fan. Waipahu… not so much. They are located just past the Bank of Hawaii in a strip mall. The shop is nondescript… it’s dank. The steak(that’s not hamburger!) pot pie was an amazing base. The soup was easy(butter, flour, milk, chicken bullion, black pepper and a little salt. Carrots, peas, and taters boiled separate, then added… Tabasco optional). Everyone in my home… thinks I’m a chef.

I recently visit Franceddies Bakery wow, never eat a meatpie that melts in my mouth. So ono and the fresh loaf of bread is amazing and there Sweetbread or Raisen bread is owesome. It’s a brand new bakery in Waipahu and I tell you, you wont regret visiting this bakery. People welcome you with aloha spirit and the smile of the pastries /bread and food it’s like a little touch of heaven.
