    Ube Flan (left) and Dulce Salted Egg (right)
    Jonathan S.

    We came here for some dessert after a late Easter lunch. The restaurant we were at ran out of dessert and my wife wanted some. We did a quick search on Yelp and found this Filipino gem. When we walked in, we were greeted by very nice employees and live music. We ordered a variety of Filipino delights: Ube Flan Binka Bite, Dulce Salted Egg Binka Bite, Regular Taho, Strawberry Taho, Mango Shake and Halo Halo. Everything we had were good. The vibe here is chill, coffee shop feel as there are a number of people just hanging out and chatting and working on their laptops. I would come here again for more of their Filipino offerings.

    A nice bakeshop with a Filipino dessert called bibinka. They have a variety from smores to salted duck egg that go great with coffee. Every now and then they have special events like live music.

    Ube flan

    I came here to pick up an online order I made two days ago. Free parking is available nearby. My order was already ready when I arrived but after I saw what they had, I had to stay to try one of their Binka bites. I tried one of my favorite Ube. Ube has three different flavors and I tried flan Ube. After my first bite, one of the owners Jasmin offered to warmed it up. Oh my goodness, it melted in my mouth. So soft and yummy. I can't decide if I like as is or heated. Both good, you can buy two and try both ways. I thought I was full from lunch but this one came down easily. They have a whole lot of on the menu that what's online. Perfect for lunch or snack. I can't wait to come back for more next time I am in the area

    Dubai chocolate, s'mores, ube oreo, mocha cookie crumble

    I like coming to this shop when I'm craving a little sweet treat! Came on Friday to see that they are selling Dubai chocolate binka bites so I had to get two! Also got 2 ube oreo because I never saw these flavors before! Also got the s'mores and cookie mocha flavor ! The Dubai chocolate is sooooooooo goood I wish I got more now! We try to come in every now and then in hopes of seeing if they stocked up with their bread pudding. No luck though. But that's okay! Service is really smooth! They packaged the desserts in a box with a sticker! Asked for a bag to carry them in. I like the layout and the interior whenever I come in. It gives a very cozy vibe! Nice lighting comfy couch. It is very welcoming! Def will come back

    Can't believe I just found this place! It's a hidden gem! Ordered taho, Ube latte, empanada (not pictured), and a bunch of cupcake binka bites. The taho was SO good. Reminds me of the street taho in the Philippines. That was the highlight, but all of the other food and drinks were yummy! The inside was spacious and well lit. Good place to hang out. Cashier was super nice. They even brought out the order to us. Will definitely be coming back!

    Egg salad

    Binka Bites is a cute little restaurant in Millbrae. Parking is fairly easy depending on the time of day. the people that work there are really nice. The food was just OK. We got Elizabeth's favorite muffin and that was really good as was the Nutella. The spam musubi was microwaved so the saran wrap was really stuck to the rice and the spam. There was not enough teriyaki sauce and way too much rice. It was out of balance. We ordered the Japanese style egg salad sandwich and to me, Japanese style means no crust, but there was crust on it. There wasn't much filling as you can see from my picture and it was expensive. that being said the bread and the egg salad was delicious. We loved it. The problem was that they told us we had everything but then when we got home, we found we did not have everything. they hadn't given us the sandwich so I had to drive all the way back. It's sort of was fine because I needed to drive back anyway because the Thai tea was terrible. they hadn't put any sweetener in it and it just tasted awful so that was a disappointment but once they fixed it, it was really good. So overall, it wasn't the best experience but then again it wasn't the worst either.

    Binka bites is a cafe rooted in Filipino pastries and influences in all their items, in particular, Ube, mango and dulce flavored sweets and coffee. Having passed by the spot on numerous occasions, I've decided to finally order here after moping around all morning in the area without caffeine, I mustered up the idea to yelp some options and binka came up. Conveniently, they also sold pastries so what better pairing on a Sunday morning? I ordered the Uber vanilla latte which had a mild Ube and vanilla flavor, while not being overly sweetened (preference). This paired really well with the guava and in particular, the biscoff bite I ordered. On top of that, we also ordered a nice beef empanada which was made to order. The empanada had a nice baked crust with delicious, perfectly seasoned filling. The service at binka was one highlight in particular. The staff were bubbly, and very helpful to any questions I had on items, and they were informative as far as recommendations after I mentioned being a first time patron. The store itself was very brightly lit, very clean and offered a relaxing environment for any folks looking to chat with friends over some cafe items. Parking is plentiful between the plazas underground lot and street parking, although it can get a little hectic. I'd invite anyone looking for some coffee and pastries to come try this place!

    Matcha Latte Thai Milk Tea
    Agnes N.

    my friends and i decided to come to this cafe for their matcha after reading a lot of great reviews about this cafe. we came in on a friday morning & there was no wait to order, with one person doing both the front and back of the house duties. my friend ordered the matcha latte & my other friend ordered the ube latte. when the girl came out with the matcha latte, we knew something wasn't right. the color was super dull and not vibrant like how good matcha should be. the drink itself tasted like milk mixed with green tea NOT matcha. my other friend who ordered the ube matcha was also extremely disappointed. it tasted nothing like ube and tasted like sugar mixed with milk. she decided to ask the cashier to make her another drink (thai tea) & was also super disappointed with it. it was way too sweet and tasted nothing like thai tea. after my friend complained about her matcha drink, i decided to order a black sesame latte. we waited around 20 mins before the barista came out to tell us she was unable to make it. i wish she would have told us a bit earlier instead of making us wait for that long. overall, i don't think i would come back. the drinks were very mid.

    Sticky rice with mango
    Steven H.

    This was a surprise find for us as we looked for a gluten free location for my daughter and did we score with our visit here. I could have just kept ordering items. The sticky rice with mango was excellent as were the two savory cupcakes we had and the drinks. The Manila Ube espresso latte was delicious but was over taken by the mango drink they had - awesome.

    Nutella, Oreo cream, guava dulce, mocha cannoli cream
    John P.

    Absolutely delicious! Binka Bites is a must-visit for anyone who loves bibingka with a creative twist. I tried the Nutella, Oreo Cream, Guava Dulce, and Mocha Cannoli Cream flavors, and each one was amazing in its own way! The texture was perfectly soft and chewy, with just the right amount of sweetness. My favorite was the Mocha Cannoli Cream flavor! The flavors are so well thought out, and you can tell they use high-quality ingredients. Can't wait to come back and try more!

    You can never go wrong with Binka Bites, never. My husband and I used to live in SSF and have done pick up many times, but we've never gone to the Millbrae location and I've been excited to come through ever since I saw the photos of their interior - very aesthetically pleasing and with their expansive menu, it kind of invites you to come through. So we did. The day before Christmas, we came through to pick up a dozen assorted binka bites for our family gathering the next day. We chose the flavors we wanted and there was so many good ones to choose from, I mean, that was a challenge, because they all looked so good. We also opted for one beef empanada and one mushroom empanada as we hadn't eaten yet. I also opted for their black sesame latte to try, but it wasn't the best in terms of flavor so I'd skip it next time. The binka bites and empanadas were good, though, and so was service. I'd happily come back if I was in the area again.

    Manila ube espresso, ube flan cupcake, guava cupcake
    Emily C.

    Arrived around 11am, about one hour after opening and there were a couple people inside. Interior is inviting and spacious with green plants and artwork on the walls, and seems like a nice place to study or work. For drink, I ordered the Manila ube espresso and both coffee and ube flavors were strong but I wish there was less ice. For a snack/dessert, I chose the ube flan and guava cupcakes. Although they tasted good flavor wise, they were cold and didn't taste as fresh as I hoped. Not sure if it's because it was an older batch and they didn't have freshly made ones but I hope to come again when they're fresh. I also wanted to try the mango taho but it wasn't available so I guess I'll have to come again to try it along with the other drinks, desserts, and savory snacks I'm interested in!

I ordered the Gui Hua Oat Latte, since that sounded pretty unique. There was other drinks that I was interested in trying like some of the matcha drinks, but I rarely see an osmanthus-inspired drink at coffee shops. It is made already with oat milk, so I didn't have to ask for any milk substitutions. I thought it was pretty good in terms of a latte, however, I wish the osmanthus flavor was a little stronger. The barista mentioned that the latte would have more of a floral taste, but it felt pretty faint. Cost was pretty similar to other coffee shops in the area, since it was $8-9 for my drink with oat milk already included. Other than that, would come back if I'm ever back in the area. I like the cozy vibes and fun drinks that they have!

Lest you be assaulted by the stares of the envious folks in line waiting to do the same thing. Just do yourself a favor and get the coffee to-go. As suggestion to the business: If the space could be renovated, then I'd recommend a long bar top along the wall at counter height. At least then you can fit more people in the space and their line of sight would be facing the wall or watching the coffee be made. Vs staring at the queue awkwardly.

It does not have a dedicated parking lot, so be sure to grab the first street parking slot you see! It's a modern, small shop with some seating options (if you come early enough, you will be able to get something!) My usual here is typically a black sesame latte and I will say, probably the best one you can get in the Bay Area. It's toasty, nutty, but not over powering. I have been having a hard time finding a comparable contender. Besides that their vanilla latte is delicious and bright. For me their miso is a bit salty but that might be a preference. They also have some amazing selections of pastries you can get. I always get something new while I'm here, most recently, I got a pork floss croissant but I did enjoy the ube croissant when they still carried it. Their baristas are always very kind, and are willing to help. Despite coming in some busy times, I always get my drink in a reasonable time. I will continue to rave about this spot to my friends! It's a gem. :)

Suzanne's is fine for a quick fix, but if you can make the trip, skip this and head to GG Bakery instead.

It's a bit of a drive for me, but when I'm in that area, I always make a point to stop in and pick up a couple of their delicious croissant-donut pastries and marzipan or almond croissants. That's the beauty of this bakery--it's a chain, yes, but the consistency is what keeps me coming back. I have yet to be disappointed. Of course, I had to stop at this Hilton Head location--and I didn't come empty-handed. Food connects people, and bringing pastries to your host is always a winning move. I picked up three different varieties of their famous croissant-donut style pastries (similar to the well-known cronut): * Chocolate * Tiramisu * Mango And I added two large almond croissants that were beautifully filled, flaky, and indulgent. Everything looked fresh, full, and irresistible. The setup inside is easy and efficient. It's self-serve: you grab a tray, line it with parchment, use the tongs, and select whatever catches your eye--from baguettes to cakes to coffee drinks. Checkout was quick, Apple Pay was accepted, and the whole experience felt smooth and well organized. The space was clean, friendly, and inviting, with plenty of outdoor seating. Bottom line: Whenever you see a Paris Baguette on your radar, pull over. It's dependable, delicious, and perfect for picking up pastries to share--or to treat yourself. For me, it's one of those rare places that delivers the same quality every single time, no matter the city--and that kind of consistency is something I truly appreciate as a traveler and lifelong foodie.
