Instagram alerted me of this bakery, but of course I live 2 hours away. Luckily, my husband decided to treat me to a spontaneous visit since we were heading to Boston from New Hampshire. My expectations were high, and I seriously was not disappointed! I ordered the Purple Sunrise Latte with a Tuna Melt, my husband had the Pandan Latte with a breakfast sandwich, and my daughter had spaghetti which I believe was a special. First off, both drinks were AMAZING. It's hard to find any ube coffee beverage that actually tastes like ube, but Purple Sunrise nailed it and also had a nice brown sugar taste.The food was delicious - my daughter can be picky with pasta but she liked this one and the amount was more than generous. I also grabbed some amazing goodies to go - Ube Pandesal, Ube Ensaymada, Classic Ensaymada, and Ube Tres Leches. I wished I lived closer, but at least now I know this will be a bakery I must stop by during all future Boston trips!

i love supporting local so when my friends wanted to stop at the dunkin around the corner i trekked over to see what was going on with bits and bites and what an INCREDIBLE hidden gem!! walking in you are greeted with a plethora of goodies and treats, and seating is further in to the left. seating area is clean and plentiful and there is a bathroom for customers. ordering was pretty fast and i got a breakfast sandwich and the purple sunrise, which comes with rice milk so i got to have a fun alternative milk that isn't my almond milk! it was so tasty and even came with fun crunchies on the top. service was fast and while i was aww'ing at the fact that they drew a snoopy a worker silently slipped another snoopy drawing for me to take!!! such sweet people and they want to take care of you. i will definitely be back!!

Came here on Sunday at 8:30 with my family if 4. Place was pretty empty. We ordered their recommendations of Topsilog plate, breakfast plate, and we read that the Tacos empanadas was good so we ordered that as well. Drinks: Ube banana matcha, Panda Latte and Mango juice. My kids enjoyed it all. From the bakery we got turnover, Ube crinkles, matcha crinkles, ube canoli. All in all it was tasty, just like another review said it tends towards the sweet side. I'm thinking it's catered toward the local clientele. I would come back for the bakery items. Another note, everything is served on disposable eating and drinking ware for easier cleanup. Not a full service venue, you clean up after yourselves.

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!

Super cute inside! And the baristas are super friendly. An amazing presentation of pastries at the entrance, plus more space next to the main area for comfortable dining. The banana pudding ube matcha and iced pandan latte were super good, not too sweet. The blueberry scone was amazing as well, good ratio of berries and bread. Will come back for their other drinks! *Street parking (not crowded)

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.

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!

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.

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

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!
