I stopped in today specifically for the Ilocos empanada. I ordered one and ended up waiting about an hour since they cook them in batches. It was worth it though, the empanada was flaky and delicious, and the vinegar dipping sauce was excellent. It was slightly on the greasy side, but still very enjoyable overall.
I also picked up a cassava cake. It was good, just a little sweeter than I prefer (I make my own, so I’m probably biased since mine is a bit different).
Overall, I’d definitely come back.

Excellent bake shop except the empanadas are only sold two hours of the workday.
The baked goods are decent, but they don’t quite live up to how they should truly taste. They’re not bad by any means, but compared to authentic Filipino baked goods, they lack that homemade, “grandma’s kitchen” quality. It feels more like a third-generation rendition of the classics. That said, it’s great to see other cultures enjoying and appreciating them as well.

I love going to this place. Everything is great. The filipino empanada was worth the trip. Make sure you get some senorita bread!

Updated review, same thing, got here 20 minutes after opening, wanted to try the new ube cinnamon roll, told me it wouldn’t be ready for another hour. Just weird business model for me, open at 8, and there aren’t things available hour or so later… why not open until 9:30 then? . If it was busy and sold out I get it, but on a Tuesday, when I was probably the second customer there.. just doesn’t really rub my the right way
They have good stuff when they actually have it. Timing is a hit or miss. They open at 8am . Get there at 8:30 am and the front window/counter top (same side as cash register) pretty much empty as there are no fresh baked goods. Stuff that is packaged and bagged is already out, but this isn’t the first time I’ve arrived at around 8:30 AM on a Tuesday and the fresh baked stuff is empty. I’m sure it gets filled up later in the day or later in the morning, but then why open at 8 AM 🤷🏻♂️

We’ve been coming here for about a year for their senorita breads. The last batch of them were not as buttery and sweet as they used to be and they were quite tough.
Love evrything. we came out from Rockford just to stop there

Went here for my first time and asked the gal at the counter for a recommendation as it was my first time there. She recommended the senorita bread. It’s made fresh to order and is just a sweet sugary bread. I bought it for a client on their closing day. Him and his family LOVED it! 😊 I also tried the small tiny sweet breads they have on the far back of the store. I got the purple one (ube) and the pink filled one. Those were just okay and nothing special to rave about. But overall love the vibes in there, and I’ll definitely be back to try more options! The staff was really nice.
