SUCH A GREAT FIND! This spot consists of a bakery in the heart of a shopping center full of great Filipino/Asian options nearby (e.g. Jolibee, Asian Market, etc.) They have a breadth (see what I did there) of baked goods, but also drinks and sweet treats like halo halo. The halo halo was very tasty and not too sweet, but just right. The baked goods were fresh. The service was excellent! BEWARE - it can get packed, but that’s how you know it’s good.

Ordered what was supposed to have been a shake. I know shakes are made using ice cream, typically vanilla, as its base. Saw the lady preparing the "shake" with a whole set of ice. Not only did the "shake" look nothing like what was on the monitor, it had a grainy texture of the ice that had not melted. Shakes are supposed to be smooth and creamy and delicious, this thing I ordered was nothing like this. My daughter could not even finish hers. Complete waste of money. Drove 40 minutes to that place based on a video I saw on Instagram just to have one of those shakes and was sorely disappointed.

I was in Ube Heaven yesterday! We ordered all the yummy drinks ( Leche flan shake, ube shake, buko pandan and ube Oreo) and they were all so good! We were only in houston for one night and since we live in San Antonio, we went crazy with Filipino food! This place is the Filipino version of 85 degrees! I wish they would open one in San Antonio! The bakery goods were delicious as well! I had to buy all the ube I could get my hands on!

The bakery itself is nice and clean and small but not cramped! The staff is kind and I love that you can see them baking goods! Almost everything we got was a hit, I think the ones we didn't enjoy were more traditional Filipino treats that we weren't used to. All three tres leches we had were amazing (mango, biscoff, and ube Oreo). My favorite items were the ube piaya and ube hopia, both had a flaky pastry element. The bread itself is like a pillowy dinner roll and the milky cheese bread is the perfect salty sweet combo. I also ordered the buke pandan drink and I've never had anything close to that flavor (in a good way). I will definitely return to this place for more goodies!

This is the first time I had Filipino desserts and it blew my mind. I got the Halohalo, Ube oreo tres leches and Ube crinkles. Halohalo was good overall, never tried it before so I don’t have any references for it.. Ube oreo tres leches was amazing and our favorite but might be too sweet for most of people. Ube crinkles were exactly how we expected, it’s less sweet than the two before, I personally like the texture of the filling but not so fond of the texture of the outside plus sugar powder. Overall 10/10 experience highly recommend!

Ube everything!! I wish the Ube milk bread had some filling but otherwise a great place to get Filipino bakery items for a good price. Love the emphasis on Ube!

Incredible. I hadn't had many of the available selection of Filipino desserts before so got a big variety and every. single. one. was a banger. Honestly no recs, just grab everything. Okay, maybe the putos and siapao buns bc I regret not buying a few more.

Bought several sweets including pichi pichi (better with cheese, also too bland), choco crinkles, ube bread to be shared among my non-filipino friends. They loved it.The star in my taste buds however, was the hotdog bun which tasted just like home.

Loved every item I've tried here. I'm none filipino, but I never felt like an outsider here. The ladies at the counter are super helpful and nice. Prices are reasonable. The breads and desserts here are so much better than any grocery store. I enjoyed the pinoy hotdogs and empanadas as well.

Listen even if purple isn't your favorite color lol, you should still give this place a try! I love Ube, so I knew going in what to expect, but even so I was genuinely pleased with my Ube Shake! I also got the Ube cheese bread which was like eating an even better Hawaiian roll if you can believe it!!! So light and fluffy and while I didn't have room for it I still ate it because it was just that delicious!! I bought a couple of other things that I am yet to try, but I'll update once I do I just can't eat another thing today!! The ladies were genuinely lovely and friendly, and quick to answer any questions we had! The store is cute and clean and well stocked! They brought out a few warm food options you could grab on the go for lunch or a light snack! I will definitely be back on a day when I have more of an appetite!
