About Panipopo

PANIPOPO, a cherished Samoan dessert, is a heartfelt tribute to our ancestors, culture, and identity. Crafted with love and patience, these soft buns soaked in sweet coconut sauce are a true taste of home — just the way our grandmothers made them.

We’ve worked closely with our local Auckland blending experts and partner to source and craft panipopo ingredients that not only exceed our customers’ expectations but also bring back the familiar taste of home.

A portion of our total sales goes toward the charities our founder proudly supports. Find out more on “Our Why”.

“I grew up in Samoa, and when I tried Panipopo for the first time, I honestly got emotional. The smell while baking took me straight back to my nana’s kitchen — soft buns, sweet coconut sauce, and family everywhere. It’s the real deal. Thank you for bringing a taste of home to New Zealand.”

“I’ve always loved panipopo but never had the confidence to make it myself until I found Panipopo mix. The instructions were simple, and the buns turned out perfectly fluffy and moist. My kids couldn’t stop eating them! Now it’s become our Sunday family treat.”

★★★★★

“I bought Panipopo because I missed island food, but I keep buying it because of what the brand stands for. Knowing part of my purchase helps local charities makes every bite even sweeter. You can truly taste the love and purpose behind it.”
