It's rare to find an exclusive Filipino baked goods (kakanin) place in the GTA. Usually it is a combo'ed with hot food and other Filipino delights. Kudos to them for sticking to their specialty.
They're not cheap but is in line with other Filipino food places in terms of pricing. The sapin-sapin and conchinta were pretty good. Haven't tried their braso de Mercedes but will do so next time. Moved to Centerpoint Mall by Entrance #2.

If you haven't, you should try Filipino desserts! A bit on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for.

We have been buying kakanins and pandesal here for a long time. Even my friends go here to buy pandesal for our church and we love it! But this time my husband bought 2 taho but unfortunately it’s not fresh. It tastes sour and the actual look is pale. I believe it has been prepared few days ago and you still put it in display and you let people buy it. I hope you put your customers health first since your products are food.
I have been a regular here and visited their new location at Centerpoint. I'm disappointed that their offerings and quality have changed. I used to buy the large ensaymadas, plain and ube, and now they only offer single ensaymadas. I bought what I thought were plain ensaymadas, they were $3.50 each and was so incredible disappointed to find ube inside. The ube did not taste good. It is unclear to me if they even offer plain ensaymadas anymore. In any event, they need to clearly label and price their merchandise and focus on quality.

Love the pundasal - freshly baked. Store is a bit on the small side but it's a bakery so you can't really expect anything more

Best Spanish bread so far!
This place is good for Filipino food if you want to try. Products are fresh especially the pandesal. An early morning trip here, you have to expect a line up for their fresh pandesal.

So disappointed with pandesal, nowadays, it seems not freshly baked, hard, stretchy, bubbling, I hope attention is paid so it doesn't spoil for the customer. Thank you!
