I absolutely love this bakery! The owner is so kind and welcoming. I especially loved learning about how they make my favorite pastry, the Cashew Silvana, and how it takes three days to prepare it with so much care. You can really tell how much love and effort goes into everything they make. Such a great little neighborhood gem!

fun Filipino bakery with lots of dessert options in ube and other flavors like coconut pandan! We got the ube flan, ube steamed rice cupcake, and the coconut pandan cannoli. Reasonably priced and yummy.

Mini cupcakes were appropriately adorable and pretty tasty. I got an ube bubble tea that wasn’t overly sweet and had a very pleasant nutty flavor. All in all I would go back. The inside of the shop isn’t particularly cozy. Lots of tables and seats, but not one of them was inviting.

Despite the name of the store, all the ube items we tried were very underwhelming, to say the least. We purchased ube steamed rice cake and a ube cupcake. The cupcake potentially had the worst tasting frosting I’ve ever tasted on a cupcake: the texture is very similar to a chunk of butter just taken out of the fridge. The cupcake body itself had a very hard texture, and both the frosting and the cake had a strange, unpleasant aftertaste. The ube steamed rice cake was better in flavor than the cupcake, but I did wonder if this is something that should be reheated, because the rice cake was hard, and there was a solid piece of yellow cheese on top. Maybe there are other items on the menu that are more redeeming, but given they had 2 shelves of cupcake on display, and this was how the cupcake tasted, I don’t think I would go back.

3.5 stars. TLDR - good service, but iffy about the food (maybe we came too late)... $7 - mini flans (ube, coconut pandan, mango, thai tea) $10 - "bigger" flan (ube only) $30 - 7 inch flan cake (ube only) $50 - 9 inch flan cake (pre-order only) $12 - halo halo $5 - various iced drinks, boba, lattes $3 - madelines (for 3 pcs) The drinks were a little too sweet for my liking (we got the lemonade). They are famous for their flan cake mix. The ones in the cooler were just alright. The flan was more of a custard texture (away from jiggly jello) which was good. However, the bottom cake layers had subtle flavors and were a bit stale. The flan tastes better when its fresh and not refrigerated though. Compared to other customer's pictures, I think the issue was that there was not much caramel sauce on the plate. there was not much liquid on the bottom of the plate so the cakes did not look moist for most of our flans. The halo halo was a bit small in size for $12 (jar is similar to a overnight oats serving size). ive seen other places price it at $8-10 for that size. Overall, it was a miss for me for my first time. Service was nice though. they did let us stay 20 mins past closing.

I’ve always enjoyed the desserts here, especially the donuts. However, considering the amount I spent for my birthday cake, I was disappointed. You can barely see the what I told them to write and it tasted bland. Why would you make the letters the same color as the cake?

It's a very disappointing time. If we can give zero star for their manners we will. We came all the way from different state and since we are being encouraged by our local friend to try so we did. When we place our orders we check and the order is not complete. We told the lady who assisted us but she seems she didn't get what we order. I try to tell the lady and the guy at the oven went to hallow and said I dont have to be angry. I am not and he literally said to stop. I don't go to his level that he seems so out of himself for some reason he has. Not a nice way to deal with the customer. My friend still eat the donut and the food is not as good as they thought it was. Our american friend said it taste wet and sticky. Aside that the people who worked is not as nice as they should be. We've been a food blogger for so many years. We may not be as famous as we are but we have locals that ask us how's the food we tried and won't recommend this place. The key for long term,and good food places should have a good mannered and good tasting food.

Shop owner Mark is amazing and super kind, ended up chatting with him for awhile after buying delicious halo halo and filipino inspired pastries. Would definitely return with friends and family.
