    The Boston area needs more good Filipino food options like Bits & Bites! My partner and I came for breakfast on a Saturday and enjoyed the Filipino-style Dim Sum Combo. I also got the ube matcha, which was yummy. All the food was delicious and the employees were super friendly. Would definitely come back to try more of the menu!

    We had a very positive experience here on a Sunday morning. They had plenty of seating as well as space in their dining area. We started off with a latte that was Ube flavored. For lunch or brunch we got the Top silog. The beef was super flavorful. I wish they did some latte art with our latte given how pricey it is. Nevertheless, the service was great. I feel like a latte and a platter like this would be perfect for a brunch date!

    This place is incredible. From all the Filipino inspired desserts and drinks to the food options everything is savory delicious and perfect. I wish the Boston area had more Filipino options so when we were in town and were lucky to discover this spot we were very happy. All the tapsilog options were awesome and the beef and egg sandwich (tapa and egg) was the best I've ever had. The ambiance is cozy and service was fast and kind even tho we arrived close to closing time. Will def come back anytime we are back in town

    Prime Rib Tapsilog

    My friends and I had visited here for Boston Asian Restaurant Week, so they had a special menu that contained dishes they normally wouldn't have, and I enjoyed every one of them. My friends decided to drive quite a bit to get here, so I knew the experience would be a pleasant one. The prime rib tapsilog was excellent, with the egg perfectly fried to release the yolk, the garlic rice containing flavorful garlic bits at the top to provide flavor, and the beef having the right amount of tenderness and flavor. I also loved the ube affogato because the combination of espresso and ube ice cream made it a heavenly experience, as I could taste multiple flavors within one "drink" if that makes sense. The salad was pretty standard, with some raw vegetables and vinaigrette. Another factor worth pointing out is that the establishment had a fire playlist, containing lots of old school hip hop and R&B music, and I found myself dancing to it and singing to it the whole time I was there! While I am not sure when I'd be able to return here again, I enjoyed everything I had when I was there and would definitely recommend it to all that are around the Boston area!

    Bits & Bites Bakery + Cafe -- Saugus, MA 488 Lincoln Ave, Saugus, MA 01906 Wow -- what an incredible spot! Bits & Bites Bakery + Cafe truly does it all -- breakfast, bakery, lunch, and everything in between -- and they do it so well. This is the kind of place that makes you want to come back before you've even finished your meal. Drinks: Ube Matcha Latte Matcha Biscoff Latte If you've got a sweet tooth, these two are calling your name. Both are super sweet, indulgent, and absolutely satisfying -- perfect dessert-like drinks. 9/10 Hibiscus Mansi A bold, refreshing combo of tangy hibiscus and zesty calamansi -- citrusy, floral, and super bright. Calamansi with Butterfly Pea Flower Tea This drink is magic in a cup! It starts deep blue and shifts to golden sunshine, with a vibrant lemony, citrus-forward flavor. Both of these non-latte drinks lean tart and citrusy, and I loved how refreshing they were. 8/10 Bakery Items: Ube lovers -- do not, I repeat, DO NOT skip the ube here. Ube Crinkle Cookies Ube Cannoli Ube Ice Cream The ube cannoli is a standout -- such a creative and fun twist on a classic. Everything ube here is spot-on and worth ordering 10/10 Breakfast & Lunch: Tapsilog (10/10) If you're only getting one thing -- let it be this. The beef is marinated using the owner's grandmother's recipe, and you can taste the love. Paired with garlic rice and a perfectly cooked egg? Absolute perfection. Birria Tacos (9/10) Better than some dedicated Mexican spots I've tried. The broth is flavorful, well-seasoned, and -- importantly -- not greasy. Ultimate Breakfast Chorizo Sandwich (9/10) A chorizo patty, hashbrown, cheese, and a sunny-side-up egg on an English muffin -- it's heavy in the best way. Super satisfying, and exactly what you want in a breakfast sandwich. Ambiance: Adorable cartoon-style decor, plenty of seating, and an overall welcoming vibe. 8/10 Affordability: Pretty standard pricing for a bakery/cafe spot. The meals were well portioned too 7/10 Final Thoughts: If you've been curious to try Filipino food, or just want really good food, this is your sign to go. Bits & Bites is a 10/10 spot, hands down. Don't sleep on it.

    Who doesn't like matcha!

    What a fantastic way to start your day! Everything we had here was amazing. The staff helpful and pleasant. We were able to park on the street easily. The restaurant itself had plenty of seating and was clean. They give you a pager when you order your food for pick up. This place gets busy! Once you get a taste of the food you will know why! From the drinks down to the dessert it was all top notch! I will definitely go back!

    Incredible breakfast sandwich and baked goods. The staff were super friendly and helpful - awesome vibe to start your day!

    It wasn't bad and the interior was very roomy and had a good decoration. I like how in Boston (or the surrounding areas) that a place like this exists because it's good to have representation of Filipino food in a place without many Filipinos. The menu was super fun and the people were very nice. I got the pork adobo puffed pastry and it was quite dry inside. I took everything to go and heated it up but even then I don't think it should be that dry. The pork sisig with garlic rice was good. I've never had pork sisig before so I won't pretend to be an expert. It reminded me of a chicken salad because the outside was coated in mayo. I enjoyed eating it but wished the rice had more of a garlic flavor. I also feel like everything was a bit too expensive for what is given. The service size is a bit smaller for this meal. Despite that, I will be back because I hope a place like this succeeds and there are a lot of other menu items to try.

    Amazing experience! The host was so nice and gave my group really good drink and food recommendations. We got a couple different items and our favorite were the calamansi based drinks. The drinks came out really quick, but the food took a little time. Even though the food took a little bit, it was well worth the wait. The food was amazing and very fresh. The restaurant is also very cute and there is plenty of seating. 10/10 and would definitely come back.

    Ube dinner rolls with cheese inside
    Wendy D.

    This cute Philippino restaurant is a little out of the way, but it makes up for warmth and variety. There was so much to choose from that I had a little decision paralysis. There are so many different types of drinks, desserts, and warm entrees, but fortunately the workers are very helpful. I really enjoyed the mango-mansi drink (mango and calamansi), which was very refreshing, sweet and a little tart. I also really like the ube crinkle cookies, they had a good chewy texture and weren't too sweet. The matcha one was good but not as chewy. The ube dinner rolls were great too, but I didn't realize they had cheese on the inside. They heat it up for you too, but just FYI, it probably needs to be heated up for longer because of the cheese. I like the beef plate as well, and my friend enjoyed the noodle and chicken dish. Overall would recommend this cute little restaurant! One of the few Philippino places, and there is so much seating inside and the decorations are very cute.

    I'm obsessed with how adorable and tasty the treats at Bits and Bites Bakery are! Located in Saugus, Bits and Bites is an Asian-owned Filipino bakery with tasty desserts and authentic Filipino food/meals. There is plenty of street parking nearby, although there is no lot, the street parking is quite convenient. The actual bakery itself is quite cozy, there are 3-4 tables if you do decide to eat at the cafe. When I visited, my mom and I were immediately greeted with terrific & friendly customer service! I forgot his name, but he was so wonderful and gave some recommendations. We ended up getting a matcha crinkle cookie, an ube crinkle cookie, an ube cannoli, and pandan and ube lattes. My favorite dessert was the matcha crinkle cookie! All the desserts weren't too sweet (perfect for me!). The matcha crinkle cookie stood out to me though since there was a bit of a chewy mochi texture in the middle. The matcha was strong too, which I enjoyed. Everything was delicious though! I loved the Pandan latte as well, there was a strong Pandan flavor and it wasn't masked by the coffee. Overall, Bits & Bites is a must-try if you're in the area. Whenever I'm up on the North Shore, I try to make it to Bits & Bites to grab some of their desserts. Next time, I'd love to get their food!

    Ube latte
    Sambo N.

    The last time I came here it was unbearably busy and crowded so I panicked and got a caramel macchiato (my typical latte order from Starbucks). Today I was brave and got an ube latte and wowwww this will be my new drink going forward. It's a beautiful purple color and the taste is not overly sweet, just right. There are healthy breakfast items on the menu and an array of beautiful baked goods available for purchase and everything is very reasonably priced considering how artful it looks. The cafe is small with small tables but good news: they're expanding with the space next door. Looking forward to coming here more.

    Corned Beef Silog and Tosilog!
    Leianne Jadeln G.

    The owner is very friendly and you can tell she loves what she does! My favorite items were the calamansi juices, ube tres leches, and ube pan de sal (filled). The tosilog was sweeter than I was used to but still a great plate! The espresso is not very bold in the pandan latte and we wished the flavor of the pandan came through more. We also loved the peach mango pie and matcha white chocolate crinkle cookie! Overall, such a cute spot that is very comfortable to enjoy some fantastic Filipino treats! (I also got an ube frappe for the road 9/10~)

Key techniques include avoiding under-proofing, degassing the dough thoroughly after the first rise, using adequate gluten development, and creating tension during shaping to ensure a tight crumb. Key Techniques to Prevent Large Holes: Proper Fermentation (Avoid Under-proofing): Large, single cavities are often caused by under-proofed dough, which allows gases to expand unevenly during baking. Ensure the dough is fully proofed. Degassing and "Knocking Back": Gently but thoroughly deflate the dough after its first rise (bulk fermentation) to pop large gas bubbles, preventing them from becoming huge pockets. Firm Shaping & Surface Tension: When shaping loaves, make sure to fold and roll the dough tightly to eliminate gaps. Pop any visible surface air bubbles with a toothpick before the final proof. Proper Scoring: Score the loaf deeply enough. If the crust forms too fast and gas cannot escape, it can lead to "flying roof" or tunnels. Avoid Excessive Dusting Flour: Too much extra flour during folding can create, rather than prevent, big holes in the crumb. Check Dough Handling: Perform 3-4 gentle "coil folds" during bulk fermentation, rather than over-working it, to strengthen the structure
