The staff, including both the bakers and cashier, were friendly. The bakery itself is clean, well-organized, and has a charming atmosphere. However, I did notice that some items were missing price labels, which made it a bit inconvenient when deciding what to purchase.

Product: 3 Stars
The bakery offers a wide range of options, but unfortunately, the quality was inconsistent. The plain ensaymada from the display case was stale, though it did have some flavor. The suman cassava was bland and lacked depth of taste. The most disappointing was the cream cheese ensaymada—out of the three I purchased, each had raw dough throughout the entire bottom and sides. To make matters worse, paper wrap and a red label from the plastic wrap had stick into the bread, rendering it inedible. The coconut topping was too roasted.

That said, not everything was a miss. The top portion of the cream cheese ensaymada was flavorful, though it only made up a small portion of the product. On the positive side, the kutsinta, puto, hopia, and pan de coco were excellent—both fully baked, well-balanced in flavor, and enjoyable.

Overall Impression
While this bakery clearly has the potential to deliver high-quality products, it’s concerning to see underbaked items being sold. With more consistency and attention to detail, this could be an outstanding spot. I would return for the kutsinta, puto, hopia, and pan de coco, but I hope improvements are made to ensure the rest of the menu meets the same standard.

I usually love this bakery but I'm traumatized now. I didn't realize that there was mold until I almost ate the dessert. Never realized that this bakery sold expired desserts until I read the reviews here. Be careful when purchasing their goods!

I tend to buy extras when coming here so please make sure you have a plan or you can say goodbye to your retirement plan. The leche flan, pandesal and cheese bulilit are my go to’s but the Carioca is so yummy and chewy that you have to try it to believe. Can’t forget about the refrigerated section cause they have nilupak and siopao there. There’s other desserts too so you can try a bit of Philippines here in Seattle

My mom purchased worth $100ish and most of it has mold!!🤮If they know it has mold they should dispose it and not sell!!🤮

I love this place ❤

Why did the person at the register ask for a tip? That's crazy!

I love their ube(purple yam) bread. I always get that whenever I visit Seattle.

Watch out for this place. We bought ensaymadas and ALL of them had mold in it. I also saw one of the reviews saying they sold an expired pastry…this might be a trend and they need to get inspected.

The Filipino deserts app has mold. Brought these to a party and thank God it was discovered by my guests at the party. Called to get a refund and below me off as a joke. Mind you my wife and I live one hour away and demanded that we bring back the product that was purchased back to them to inspect. I have been purchasing deserts from them for over 35 years and spend a lot of money. So sad and no accountability and glad no one got sick. I will be letting the San Bernardino health dept know of this crooked establishment not following State and court health codes.

Bibingka malagkit. Sweet rice, coconut milk and sugar. Sooo disappointing. How could you call this bibingka? Basically it's just cooked sweet rice and caramelized coconut and sugar on topped of it.
Don't call it Bibingka. And you guys says made in aurhentic Filipino food. Come on.... stay authentic. Stop selling made up Filipino pastry. It's disappointing.

I haven’t been here in a while and they’ve remodeled. It looks a bit cleaner which is nice. I showed up on a weekday evening and a lot of the goodies by the cash register were already gone.

Come a little earlier if you need any of that. Never had an issue with their bread except it’s a lot even the smaller sizes but it’s still nice to have.

We bought bread on September 20th, but it had already expired on September 19th. They don’t clean their shelves and are selling expired products. Very disappointing!
