Auntie EM's Fine Foods & Pastries

The ensymadas I bought were dry and overpriced for the bland quality. Guy working there told me I should have called ahead if I wanted to buy a dozen. Just shut your doors if you can't take walk-ins. Better off going somewhere else anyway. Felt like I wasted my time and money here. Just go to Valerios, Ribbon or Golidlocks.

We ordered cassava cake, the ube halaya, halo halo cake and Nutella sans rival for our Christmas gathering. Everyone really enjoyed the desserts- especially the sans rival cake which is hands down amazing, and delectable beyond words!!!

I've been going here off and on for a few years now.   I remember when they first opened and thinking the cheese bread was the hidden gem.  It was during the time when Portos was the thing and people would bring them back by the boxes to share.  I thought us having something similar and close to home was a treat.
I recently came here on Easter to buy some desserts for the family.  The place hasn't changed.    It's a small area to pick and choose the items you want.   It looks like they have hired help now.
Desserts I got this visit:

1. Bibinkga kakanin-  the latik on top looked so tasty.  $15 for a mini container was steep but it was gone in a heartbeat.  It was messy and ma kunat.  Tagalog at times just explains it better iykyk.  I could've polished one container off on my own.

2.  Mango graham dessert - The lady didn't do a good job explaining this but I remember watching someone on YouTube make this.   It was good but the mango looked past its prime some didn't look edible.  I just picked those off and it wasn't bad.  It was the only one left that's why I ended up getting it.

3.  Cheese ensaymada & ube ensaymada - For $4.50 and the size of it,  it's a bit pricy.   It's smaller than Goldilocks but it is delicious. Its my occasional treat so why not.

This place is a little pricy but worth it for the occasional treat for yourself.  They have a lot of good delicacies to choose from.

Auntie Em's is a great gem in the wall for pastry and cakes. I ordered chicken & beef empanadas, cheese rolls, cupcakes, and ube ensayamada. My in laws love the assorted cupcakes and empanadas. The cheese rolls are very crunchy as well. I pre-ordered the Halo Halo cake and it was delicious but a little bit too much coconut. I'd come back again and order more delicious pastries

It is a thoroughly enjoyable place with the best Filipino pastry in the Bay Area.
