The bakery is inside Seafood City Supermarket. They have cakes, cheesecakes, breads, cookies and…read moremany other (Filipino) baked goods. I came here especially to get an Ube cake; I wasn't sure which one yet and they had a few different ones. There was an Ube flan cake, an Ube cheesecake and an Ube Yema cake. Not knowing what a Yema cake was, I asked them how it compared to the other 2 cakes and he told me that Yema cake has condensed milk and I was sold! The ube yema cake turned out to be amazing! It was moist, full of ube flavor and definitely not one to keep around if you have weak self-control like I do. Now I want to go back there to try the other Filipino snacks that I didn't get to buy the first time.

It feels like Chinese Canton Bakery is confused about it's own identity. From the outside, their…read moresignage leads you to believe you're about to enter a traditional Chinese bakery. Once you enter the store, you might think you entered the wrong storefront. When you walk in, the decor for the name of the place now says Canton Bakery by Meta Sweets in a more modern, whimsical font. Everything is pink. There's nothing wrong with pink but it doesn't match. The vibe inside feels like it wants to be a modern cake/bakery shop rather than a traditional Chinese bakery. Maybe it was or maybe it will be? There are also no actual pastries, cake, or other bakery items in any of the glass display cases where you would normally expect to see items you could order. Instead, they are filled with religious decor or empty. What you can order, you can see as large posters on the wall. A variety of char siu baos (BBQ Pork Buns - steamed or baked), coconut bread, chicken baos. No pricing which I'm not a fan of. We ordered 4 baked BBQ pork buns and 2 coconut bread and the price was more than the 1 order of wings we got next door at Royal Mandarin. The bbq pork buns were kind of dry, at least the bread was. The char siu was good though. I wish they came warm or they would ask if we wanted them warmed. The item to get though is the coconut bread. Soft fluffy bread, delicious filling. They could increase the filling for a better ratio. Come for the coconut bread! I was leaning towards 3 but am bumping to 4 stars. If you're in the area and getting some wings from Royal Mandarin, then stop by the bakery for some coconut bread. Otherwise, I wouldn't make a special trip just for the bakery.

Been coming here for years now…read more It's our spot for Pansit, siomai, and Spanish bread. They are selling Espasol now (regular & Ube), so I've been coming more often now since it's my wife's favorite, and this is where she believes the best Espasol in SD is. Just have cash available since there's an extra charge if you're paying with a credit card. They just did some renovation inside the store, so it's more welcoming and offers more Filipino canned products/delicacies now. No issues with parking during my visit. Nice staff.

I purchased Cheese Balls and Spanish bread. Cheese balls - not too bad, it seems to have a powder type texture outside but, it is not powdered sugar. It was more like uncook flour.

If in the area, I do recommend you stopping by to try their Spanish Bread.

i think out of all the Valerio's, this location is my favorite. I haven't visited in awhile and…read morecame here on a Thursday morning at 645AM and it was busy. I was also surprised to see that they expanded their space that offers seating and a coffee shop! They use beans sourced from Philippines for their coffee. Good move on their end if you want to enjoy your filipino pastry with coffee or tea! My go to items rotate between the Spanish bread, pizza pandesal, and regular pandesal fresh from the oven. For my most recent visit, I was surprised to see they had the ilocos empanada available. Like i mentioned, its been a minute since coming here so not sure how long they've been making them. The last time i had an ilocos empanada was when visited Vigan Philippines in 2017! I ordered on in addition to a chicken empanada and pizza pandesal. I decided to check out the coffee shop and what made me backtrack was that they make calamansi tea (with either black or jasmine tea). Decided to order that and eat the ilocos empanada at the cafe while it was still warm. The ilocos empanada: big portion ($6). You can order with or without cheese ($7 with cheese). I opted without cheese because this is how i remember eating it. It also comes with a vinegar sauce. It was delicious. Perfect crunch. Perfect ratios of papaya, mung beans, meat and egg. Calamansi black tea - yummy as well. Not too sweet. Tasted good with the empanada. I will definitely be coming back for the ilocos empanada. They make them daily and often replenished throughout the day (according to the employee). Parking here may be tight if coming durinf busy hours since it shares the spaces with titas kitchenette (also delicious) and island pacific market as well as other small businesses in the strip mall.

I got myself a Chocolate Croissant and an Iced Sea Salt Caramel Coffee (Medium Size). I figured the chocolate croissant would be good to take on a walk so that it would become all melty! The sea salted caramel cream coffee on the other hand was lacking that depth and lush you'd get from actual caramel. It tasted like they used a pump syrup instead, very artificial. I wanted more salt in this drink as well. Other than that, it was ok, esp for the price. I'd prob get the original sea salt cream coffee next time. There are a few tables inside (chairs minimal) and some outdoor seating. Lots of space to park.

I think what did it for me is the fact the drinks are either topped off or not. I'm paying over $5 for a large specialty drink (the only size it's offered in) and they can't even top it off? Wth? **the next day I went to another 85 location. I realized the National City store gave me a medium sized drink and it wasn't a large. Large is the only size they sell this drink in. The drink I bought from the other location was noticeably larger and topped off. National City is ripping customers off.**

Paris Bakery has been around for over a decade now in the City Heights neighborhood. I have seen it…read morelisted as a recommended place to stop by for fresh bread and banh mi sandwiches. Their location was recessed in the back of a tiny strip mall with about a dozen shared parking spaces. If you come at a peak time, then be prepared to look for a spot elsewhere on a side street. The operating hours were from 5 am to 5 pm which was a really early start. I wonder how many people show up before dawn to get access to the freshest baked goods. Acceptable forms of payment were cash, Venmo, and Zelle so keep that in mind. The prices were inclusive of sales tax. Only three tables were set up for inside seating so this spot was mainly grab and go. Various dried goods were on display in racks in front of the service counter. Along both side walls were refrigerators with prepared food and drinks for sale. Four menu screens hung above the counter with the left two displaying the banh mi and pastry offerings. There were 15 banh mi choices, all of which cost eight dollars each except two which were the Crispy Pork Belly ($10.50) and Beef Brisket ($10.99). I remember when these sandwiches sold for half of that price or less elsewhere so inflation has certainly taken its toll. I picked the first banh mi which was the Đặc Biệt (house special). A Vietnamese baguette was filled with a combination of cold cuts, pâté, mayonnaise, pickled vegetables, and fresh herbs. The bread was crunchy and soft while the amount of pâté was just right. The service from the cashier was efficient and polite. The next time I visit, one of the croissants and a sugarcane juice will be a part of my order. For my initial experience at Paris Bakery, I gave a four star rating.
