Trying a Delano favorite today. After having Pan de CoCo on vacation I needed to find the nearest Filipino bakery to buy some. Turns out its about 35 min away from me, um ok worth the drive. After reading the reviews I read they sell out pretty quickly and I realized how right they were. When I arrived there was just a few options left and not knowing what to get I watched a customer come in and make an order, to which I of course responded with I want what she ordered. You cant go wrong when you watch what is everyone's favorite. I got lady fingers, sweet cream rolls and banana filled what I believe to be a lumpia wrapper. 6 lady fingers, 2 rolls and 2 banana yummys for $7. A steal! They only take cash so be prepared for that. The lady fingers are bread with sugar coating(not at all like the Italian lady fingers that are more cookie like). They were still warm ftom being fresh made and 3 for $1 how can you pass this up. Soft, sweet bread and a hot cup.of coffee. I would be in heaven. The sweet cream rolls were soft, and pillows. When I got home I put some of my Amish made Cinnamon Pear Jam that I wrote about in a previous review and it leveled up and it felt illegal eating it. The banana lumpia dessert was good, of the choices it wasnt my favorite but im not the biggest fan of fried food. It was crispy, and the sliced bananas inside was cooked nicely and not mushy. The banana flavor was subtle but there. I would have rather had a stronger banana flavor but to me the fry oil was overpowering. The bakery has been there for ao long, do not expect an over priced fancy bakery with mid products. Youre going to an older bakery(been around since the 80s and the building probably hasnt changed much) where they know how to bake the tried and true Filipino desserts and breads without gimmicks or trends, and because they keep interior/exterior basic they can keep the prices down. This is the kind of bakery you come to for quality old school products and service, everyone is helpful and kind and they deliver the most delicious breads and desserts. I will be back soon to try their Pan de Coco!! read more

Fil Bake Shop is a must stop spot if you're passing through Delano, CA. Since 1981 they've been selling delicious filipino baked goods to the community. The line was out the door when my family and I arrived but the service is quick. It's cash only, so that helps to keep things moving. The bakery is small with a few booths inside if you're hoping to sit down for coffee and bread. Otherwise, most people are in and out. Today, my family and I ordered to go. We always buy their pan de sal. It's my favorite to have in the morning for breakfast. We also bought some lady fingers. They're a great sweet treat. read more

I was visiting Delano to honor the Anniversary of the United Farmworkers' Grape Strike. It felt only right to support a Filipino-owned business, since Filipino farmworkers were central to the movement. AMBIANCE: Parking: Plenty of parking in the front and back. This spot is no hidden gem--it gets busy, especially in the mornings. Seating: A handful of booths (3-4) for small groups of about four. Vibe: Delano isn't flashy; it has the feel of a rural small-town with glimpses of diversity. Fil Bake Shop opens as early as 4:00am! Inside, you're welcomed by the aroma of fresh bread, upbeat Mexican music, an altar honoring ancestors, and photos showcasing history and famous visitors. Perfect for grab-and-go or a quick rest stop. FOOD/DRINKS: Lady Fingers: Delicious! Soft, lightly sweet, and perfect with coffee. Their 60-for-$21 deal is a steal. Pandesal (Pork Adobo): A savory-sweet filling of seasoned pork adobo tucked into warm bread--comfort food at its best. Pandesal (Ube): Sweet and satisfying, perfect if you're craving something on the dessert side. CUSTOMER SERVICE: The line was long, but staff handled it with professionalism and efficiency. Friendly, patient, and quick. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Given that it's Delano - it doesn't get much better. Cultural gems like this are harder to find outside small towns, but Fil Bake Shop represents. Great selection of sweet and savory treats at great prices. Delano may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you're here to connect with history or just want a quick bite, this is the spot. Salamat to Fil Bake Shop for all that they do. #FilipinoFoodMovement TIPS: *Come early this is no hidden gem. read more

Fil Bake Shop - Woooo! - Bakeries Near Me - Delano, California

Hidden gem sorta hole in the wall. Forgot how we found this place but it was a little far from us. About 75 miles but well worth it if we're in the Bakersfield area. Ladies were in the kitchen making fresh pastries and rolls. Tried several of them with free samples that were awesome. I think we bought every type there on the display. A few tables in there if you want to sit and eat but mostly a smash and grab type of place. Take home or eat in the car like we did. I think we enjoyed the pastry so much we finished most of them before we even got home If you're looking for unique items not found in a regular pastry or donut shop, this is the place. Not only were they fresh and tasty, but very very affordable. Wish they were not so far but highly recommend. read more

Seriously the best owner /staff you can meet here. Love their vegetarian empanadas- a little sweet a little savory. And their lady fingers are superb. read more

I'm come here on the way down from Sacramento - I wish this place was closer to me. This place is so good and decently priced! I always order the lady fingers. The bread is delicious and so good with the bits of cream cheese. Everytime I stop by I order several bags since I can eat a good 5-10 in one sitting. They also have the ube cream cheese - so delicious! Service is great. Bring cash as it is cash only. They tend to get busy, however I picked up bread around 11 AM and it wasn't bad at all. read more

Lovely little place with friendly staff and Delicious lady fingers- truly addicting. read more

I ordered pan de sol and lady fingers. I preferred the latter. The plus side is that it's conveniently located right off the exit with easy return to the freeway. Everyone in line seemed to order the pan de sol. The ladies quickly take your order and keep the line moving. The pan de sol rolls are small and very affordable but lacked sweetness. i'm going to stop by again and try the other various pastries they make. read more

I have always heard my workmates say all good things about this place. Unfortunately, I live 30 minutes away so I really haven't tried anything until the day that I worked in Delano. And I was not aware that they only accept cash until I entered their door. Upon going inside, you can smell freshly baked bread and all the smiling titas greeting me like I am back home in the Philippines. I remember hiding emergency cash in the car so I got it and when I went back inside, I told the tita by the counter that I'd take whatever my $20 cash could get me. So she started bagging an assortment of bread - pandesal, ensaymada, pan de coco, lady fingers, ube bread - all 4 paper bags full. Then, another tita drops off a whole bag of pandesal and says it's for free. Then, just before I leave, they add another whole bag of freshly baked pandesal for free! Everything we've tasted were baked fresh and reminds you of 6am mornings back in the Philippines. My usually picky daughter ate four lady fingers in one sitting. If I happen to go back here, I'd definitely make sure I stock up on loads of lady fingers! And will remember to bring cash next time! read more

Food, always freshly made. I believe they're still a cash only business. Definitely worth the drive to Delano. You have to try everything at least once there but know they open early and close early. Don't show up with a gluten allergy because this place is chock full of gluten. I think I've had almost everything but if you show up with an open mind and ask the people working there what to try they might hook you up with a whole tray filled with options and samples. Family owned joint has been on multiple television shows and is a must try if you are willing to make the trip to Delano. Grab a coffee and then head in and grab 2-3 bags of goodies is the best way to try this place but don't forget it's CASH ONLY. read more

I would love to gatekeep this amazing filipino bakery but everyone deserves to feel the warmth of not just the goodies, but from the caring workers. The environment is so friendly, it feels like you are literally in the Philippines. It is small and their decor showcases how involved they are in their community. The pandesal was TO DIE FOR! It is soo good for such a good price. The lady fingers were so soft and warm. The smell of walking up to the bakery is hypnotizing, so be warned. It is a must visit when driving to and from South CA read more

Tremendous. All the great reviews are true. Everything we had was delicious. Don't miss out. Bring cash!$

Sweetest people ever! I came in and said I hadn't had some things there before and they gave me a whole tray of freshly baked goods for me to just try and enjoy . They clearly are just serving because they love what they do. Their love and kindness is as delicious as their baked goods. It'll warm your heart! read more

The word is out! I had tasted one of their lady fingers. Delicious. Went the following weekend but they were closed the whole weekend/next week due to electrical problems. Granted, it doesn't look like a bakery from the outside. BUT, once you walk inside....wow, the baked bread and pastry smell is heavenly. I wanted everything, but had to ask what they would recommend for a first timer. The lady fingers...I bought a huge box for $21 and I got some of their 'pan de coco' ( bread with bits of cooked coconut), and some 'pan de Sal' (salted bread)....delicious. Everything delicious. Warm, great service, nice people. The place is extremely busy. Good luck on a weekend, as the line is around the corner. You'll love the delicacy of the bakery! read more

I bought a dozen lumpia's there was little to no filling inside them, it was just rolled fried no flavor, no chicken, shrimp or any evidence of even cabbage or sprouts My daughter got two of the petals and loved rhose. read more

Fil Bake Shop - Lumpia. - Bakeries Near Me - Delano, California

Fils Bake Shop is a local treasure! This family-owned Filipino bakery has been serving the community with love and tradition for years, and it absolutely shows in every bite. Their pandesal is hands-down the best--soft, warm, and just the right touch of sweetness. The lady fingers are also a standout--light, airy, and absolutely addictive. You can taste the care and heritage baked into everything they make. If you haven't been to Fils yet, you're seriously missing out. Delicious pastries, friendly service, and a true neighborhood favorite. Might not look like much from the outside but Highly recommended! read more

Best Filipino bread around. Look forward to it anytime I'm in town! Go early because they do sell out of stuff.

Talk about a hole in the wall, family owned and personalized business. Bread was fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. Service was good, she answered all the questions and really nice read more

Warning - this place is cash only! This tiny shop looks like it's inside of an abandoned little gas station, so it would be really easy to miss if you didn't know it was here. A lot of people came in and out so it seemed like a popular stop off the freeway. I tried their ube cream cheese bread & their hot dog buns. The bread itself was so soft! I also got what I thought was senorita bread but turned out to be some kind of pineapple filled bread. The bread tasted great but I didn't finish it since I don't like pineapple..wish I knew that when I picked it out! They had so many yummy things in the display case, it would be nice if they had everything labeled so we don't have to ask what each item is. Don't expect anything fancy, just your hole in the wall Filipino bakery, good option for some fresh baked goods in the morning but wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

We were gifted the most amazing lady finger desserts, by Mark and Henia, and they were absolutely heavenly! Light, delicate, and full of flavor -- truly the best we've ever had. Even more special than the desserts was getting to meet Mark and Henia themselves. They are such warm, kind, and genuine people, and you can taste the love and care they put into every bite. What a wonderful experience -- we feel lucky to have met them! read more

This place has been a staple in our town for as far back as I can remember and for good reason! They serve warm, hot out of the oven Filipino style bread. Everything here is delicious! The bread is fresh, tasty and the staff is friendly. The building and inside are not much to look at, however, you come here for the bread and 9 out of 10 times you will not be disappointed. I gave it four stars because their payment system is not up-to-date, they take cash only! Stop in on an early morning if you're in the area. read more

Road Warrior Pro Tip - pull off on the Cecil Avenue Exit, go to Fil Bake and get a dozen lady fingers (cream filled, yum) and a few pandecoco which is a soft roll with toasted coconut baked inside. Grab a coffee or drink from the C-Store or the Starbucks on the other side of the freeway, then back on the 99 and on your way. #PinoyPitstop Locals ...if you grew up here, you know what to do. read more

Haven been here in years while and I still love this place. The owner is one of the nicest people you will ever encounter. While my daughter and I had to wait for the cream cheese filled bread to be made because they were out from the already made batches, the owner served us with a full tray of sweet breads and offered us coffee. Even when I was little she was this generous person. Thank you always for your hospitality and generosity. Someone in the comments docked it for their payment system, but I don't mind it at all. You just got to bring cash. Or go next door to the gas station and get cash!!! I love that that cash register is still there. Gives it that nostalgia feel I remembered as a kid going in with my parents. read more

Reminds me of my Mom's home made Pandesal. I will always come here when I'm in the area

Fil Bake Shop has been part of Delano for YEARS and I can clearly remember visiting the bakery every Sunday after church like clock work. After mass this is where you'd find my mom and dad taking us. Delano is known for the agriculture and I remember my dad getting up at 3am-4am to get to the grape fields on time and this would be the spot for all the field workers to grab their pan right before heading to work in the back roads of Delano/Earlimart/Richgrove. When Delano had a bowling alley (once upon a time), this is where you'd find the hungry kids scarfing bread after spending the evening on the arcades at the bowling alley. Delano wouldn't be Delano without this Bakery, of course Delano makes up a lot of other businesses, but this bakery reminds me of my childhood. Recently we have been seeing Fil Bake Shop post a new baked item on social media and we wanted to check it out. It's the new ube flan cupcake, I'm not gonna sugar coat it just because this place takes me back in time, but if I had to rate that cupcake in general I'm going to give it 2 stars.. sorry and honestly I'm in shock since the bakers have been baking long before I was probably even born. Other baked items on the menu in my opinion are definitely 5stars and Fil Bake Shop definitely will still be one of my favorite bakeries. Everything is super cheap and delicious, don't forget to grab your lady fingers, pandesal, your bread rolled in cinnamon and sugar, puto, ensamadas... etc.. I'm getting hungry again thinking about the fresh baked breads. Don't take my word for it... try it out for yourself and don't be shy!!! All the people working here are super duper friendly and have no problem explaining what different items are. read more

We're not from Delano, as we found this place on Yelp on our way up North. The place from the outside and inside looks old, but their baked goods were delicious. I was impressed by the taste and the price. It is cash only. The second time we stopped by on our way up to the central valley, the line was pretty long. This time, we stocked up on bread to bring home. read more
