Aunty Sandy’s is a family-run roadside bakery and food stand on the Keʻanae Peninsula, a short turn off Hana Highway onto Keʻanae Road after mile marker 16. The draw is fresh-baked banana bread, often served warm, with covered outdoor tables for eating. If a warm loaf sounds good, it makes an easy snack break on the drive.

It’s a small outdoor stand with limited parking. Visitors report lines and occasional sell-outs, so don’t count on a rapid stop or wait until the end of the drive if you’re set on a loaf. There’s no indoor seating. Don’t rely on a customer restroom here; visitors report there isn’t one, so plan a stop beforehand.

Sandy Hueu began baking banana bread in Keʻanae in 1983. Her daughter Tammy joined the business in 2003, and the family has kept this food stand on the peninsula. That long-running connection gives a simple roadside snack a real tie to the place.
