Saw this place as a pop up and was interested once we heard they got a fixed spot at Blossom. We went and they had multiple pies and buns. We got: Mango peach pie - this was amazing, not over sweet, super mango and peach flavor. The real kick was he used thyme and it gave the pie an almost savor flavor that was amazing. You rarely see mango pies and this one combined my husbands two favorite fruits. Strawberry and ube pie - uses Harry's berries and was pure strawberry. The ube was a background layer that added substance but the strawberry was the star. Both pies had wonderful short crust that crumbles and dissolves into flavor. Ube muffin - well baked and moist even the next day. The ube cream is cream cheeses based and a great sharpness on the tongue. Brownie and ube cookie. We were lucky to try these, the brownie was rich and gooey and just the way I like my brownies. It's not easy finding good gooey brownies. We can't wait to come back to try more items! Come early in the morning for the best section. read more

Sooooo goood!!! Creative with authentic Filipino taste. Will definitely go back and will order on line. read more

I came to Baking With Ish one week postpartum when I was craving sweets, and have no regrets! I love desserts that have a spin on Asian flavors, so I was delighted to see pastries with ingredients like ube, tea and black sesame. My favorite dessert so far has to be the Ube cake! Can't wait to try more! :) read more

Everything is literally delicious!!! I've tried several items here over numerous trips and everything has been so good!!! My tip is to just get one of everything and it doesn't help my wallet that he rotates the menu every week and there is always something new to try. read more

Don't go when it's opening time, he's not ready and will ignore you bc he's hyper focused on getting things finished. Don't go when it's 3 hours to closing bc he will only have a few cookies or items left. Try your luck in the middle of the day. Maybe he won't ignore you and the products will be ready. read more

One of the newest stalls at Blossom Market Hall and I couldn't be more excited! Ish has some of the best desserts I've tasted. I got the brownie and some ube & black sesame cookies today and they were excellent. Perfect textures, the right amount of sweetness, and vibrant flavors. Ish (the owner) is so nice and I can't wait to taste more of his desserts! read more

This is a sweet spot for San Gabriel! The baked goods are fresh and delish! The owner is a pleasant and hardworking Baker who pours his talent into The pastries! A must have ! Check the schedule and if he is opened Stop by and enjoy! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND the pies! I've tried the ube/earl gray and espresso chocolate chip cookies as well as the ube and mango sticky rice pie. I came just before he closed today and I'm so glad I got to try the mango sticky rice pie. Ish has great customer service and you can tell he uses quality ingredients in his baked goods. While the pie slices are on the pricier side, I now see how it's justified because of the quality ingredients and because he wakes up in the wee hours of the morning to bake these fresh himself! Give this small business a try! Especially if you love ube and Asian-flavored dessert pies! read more

They have a good variety of pastries where it's not too sweet. The best thing is that the menu changes often, which means there's more to try every visit. Definitely will come back again! read more

Absolutely love everything that is made here!!! The ingredients are so fresh and he has the most unique items as well!!! I come here weekly and look forward to his delicious treats read more

Scratch-made Baking with Finesse. Oh how I appreciate small businesses that put their heart into what they do! Not only are the sweets scrumptious but the creativity & uniqueness of their offerings really stand out. UNIQUE FLAVORS/CREATIVITY: It's so much fun to see Ish's Creative twist & his ability to fuse familiar treats such as donuts, cookies, muffins, pies & cakes with S.E.Asian-inspired flavors such as ube, macapuno, calamansi, pandan, etc . He also offers the basics such as savory & sweet scones-- but don't be unimpressed...his ingredients are top notch as his blueberry scone, for example, is like an explosion of buttery, blueberry cakey-crumble goodness! MENU/SERVICE: Menu changes weekly so if you have your heart set on an item don't be disappointed, just order something new & interesting...you just may like it! As his personable business expands, I'm sure I'll get to see my blueberry scones more often ;) LOCATION/PARKING: Bakery is nestled in a small neighborhood near the San Gabriel Mission (in Blossom Market Hall). His shop is tiny but a crowd favorite. Lots of free parking. read more

Baking With Ish - Ummm ummm good - Bakeries Near Me - San Gabriel, California

I'm in UBE heaven They have the freshest most amazing pastries ever. We had to try just about everything. We recommend the Pumpkin UBE PIE it was our favorite. The good looking guy not only bakes, and serves your happiness but he has the most amazing smile and he oozes in pure goodness just like the UBE Flavor in his soft cookies. Thank you so much for making us feel so welcomed and going over each item with us. Which I'm sure had repeated at least 100 times. Our ending was perfected by the cutest and most beautiful ceramic cup. My little one plans to enjoy her precious piece with some warm matcha read more

Baking With Ish - Our Ceramic beauty to end our Ube Adventure - Bakeries Near Me - San Gabriel, California

We were here just for a whirlwind trip and didn't even come by for pastries but rather coffee next door. The gorgeous baked goods were so tempting we had to buy one, and the gentlemen manning the booth were so patient and kind. We're not that adventurous so went with a very tame banana bread- but it was anything but that. Best darn banana bread we've ever had. Seriously, that good. The ube cookie also is the most sinfully delicious thing. Wish we lived next door: we'd gain pants sizes in a week. read more

All desserts are amazing! Ish is constantly changing the menu and never disappoints! My favorite is the Ube cookies and the ube blondie pie!!! read more

Every item they had on hand was fresh and delicious, the service was kind and quick. You can tell the level of care they put into their baking and it makes me want to come back to see what else they'll come up with! read more

Some of the tastiest and most unique baked goods I have ever eaten. Ish is a pastry genius with the flavors he puts together. I had the Ube cheese pie which was off the charts. Ube filling with a layer of condensed milk and a flaky crust. The Ube roll was so good - Ube jam filling, black sesame, and a merengue frosting. I am so impressed with the creativity, quality, and overall superlative flavor profiles! read more

I highly recommend this place! Desserts, pies, pastries I love it all. I went during lunch on a Saturday, although it was busy they were super attentive. read more

Baking with Ish is truly a Blossom Market staple everytime I come by. Every baked good I've tried has been incredible! I also love that Ish infuses ube in a lot of their baked goods, it never disappoints and it always adds a unique twist. The price point may be a bit higher, but for it all being handmade, I think it's worth the price. Will definitely stop by again (again, again, and again lol). read more

I bought the Ube morning bun, yuzu doughnut, and banana muffin which were all fantastic. I LOVE how everything had just the right amount of sweetness and the textures were great too! I was too early to get any slices of pie but I'll look forward to visiting again to get some! read more

I don't know where to start tbh. My brother and I drove an hour and 40 min to try this place, and let me tell you guys, you have to try this place. The filled donut was the fluffyest and lightest I ever had; my brother, who doesn't like bread that was fighting with me for it. And the ube pastry is to die for, Ish himself told me how to toast it and he knows what's he is doing The service was exceptional. We were late, but we got lucky. We wish I would have bought more. We are coming back for sure. read more

Been coming here for a while. Everything looks amazing and so far all the pastries I've tried are amazing. Was never into ube until coming here. It's addicting and Ish and the other people working are very nice. There's always been a line when I've gone which is nice as it gives me time to decide what to get. read more

I had the most delicious pastries here. The pies are insane. As are the buns and muffins . Sure it's a bit pricey but this is a small business that needs major volume to drop prices. Ish is amazing and passionate about his treats - it really shows!! loves it. read more

I'm determined to try everything from this place. Been coming here 3 days in a row, the baked good are dangerously good, not good for my diet I know i know. Good pastries just makes my day better. Don't miss this place if you're nearby. read more

Got ube cookies, ube custard pie, and black sesame sticky bun! Everything was delicious and unlike anything we tasted before. Very generous amount of meringue cream on the pie and sticky bun! The ube cookies and pie had a unique caramelly roasted flavor, and the pie crust was extremely flaky and buttery. Overall, the desserts weren't too sweet - perfect for us. Ish was also very welcoming. Would love to stop by again and try more desserts! read more

This is long overdue, but I have been a loyal customer to Ish since he opened up shop at Blossom food hall. I have so many faves, harries berries mango pie, ube pie, bibingka pie, quiché, chocolate chip cookies, I can keep going. By far my most recent fave that I still dream about even if it's all devoured is the harries berries cake with sesame vanilla meringue, and passion fruit glaze. It's absolute perfection. The pictures don't do justice. It's a flavor explosion. The different flavors, textures and complement eachother so well. If you see this cake, buy the whole cake. Trust me. Ish makes the most delicious sweets and bakes from the heart. Ish and Dave are the kindest, honest and will ask you what you are in the mood for. read more

Wow, this place is amazing! We have never had a sticky bun this fluffy before! It was moist and delicious goodness that melted in our mouths. Definitely recommend! read more

Very overpriced, always closed, the owner is arrogant and doesn't take constructive criticism, and most importantly, the baked goods aren't even that good. I don't recommend this business to anyone. read more

This is a little hidden gem at Blossom Market in San Gabriel. The pies and pastries are amazing and super delicious. Everything was freshly made. Definitely worth stopping by and giving it a try! read more

I STILL think about the chocolate cookie I had once months ago , it was THAT GOOD! I called today 1 minute before closing hour based off yelp and google, in hopes/prayers that maybe the business hours might not have been updated. No answer. The owner called back about 30 seconds later and was so friendly and sweet. He did let me know they sold out for the day anyway Can't wait to go back and try everything else!! Yum read more

$30.00 for a pie, $45.00 for a dozen cookies? I don't care how good this place is, it is seriously overpriced. Update: Due to a typo on my part, I've since been corrected. It's $60.00 for a whole pie, not $30.00, which is still way over overpriced In my opinion. read more

I've ordered 4 different pies (classic p, she slay, oh honey, ube cheese pie) from here and they were all so good! You can't go wrong.

Unfortunately I do not have any photos to share of all the goods here because we tend to eat it too quickly for me to even take out my phone. We always stop by when we go to Blossom to check out what Ish has made. There are some regular items but also some totally different items. We've got at least five times so we have had our fair share of items. Recently we went and got a matcha citrus cake. It had quickly become my favorite thing I've had from Ish. Ish if you read this, please have it more often. The matcha wasn't too strong and the citrus tasted so fresh. The cake was moist and honestly just perfection for me. Prior to that cake, we have gotten the Ube cheese pie a couple of times. That one is a favorite! If you have never had this combo before, please try it. I'm lucky enough to have had this flavor combination at other places before so I wasn't afraid to try it in a pie. This pie is so tasty. It's sweet and salty. I think it's a great choice if you want to taste the stuff Ish makes. He comes up with a lot of unique flavors. Some other things that have stuck out to us was this apple tart. There was a special name for it but I can't remember it. It was similar tasting to an apple pie but less sweet and more crispy. I have tried to order new things when I have come and I look forward to what else he makes. There was one item we weren't super into..which was the calamansi donut. I think we should have tried the calamansi pie instead...or perhaps maybe if the donut was a cake donut instead? Anyways I look forward to tasting all of his other creative pastries! read more

I started off by buying Ish treats from his website and was instantly blown away by the cake and cookies. That hasn't changed since he opened in the market hall -- to me, every treat always feels personal - like Ish had made it just for you in a limited quantity and it's not a full fledged store. Every dessert is a cannot miss for me and I intend to always pull up when I am in SGV. read more

Ish does a really great job at not only making sure his baked goods are delicious, but also visually & aesthetically appealing. I think a lot of places lack one or the other, but he is able to create both! That's one of the main reasons he's so unique in presentation and flavor. I really love his ube cheese pie and vanilla bomboloni. The customer service is also 10/10, Jeff is very nice and attentive. read more
