Pros: -friendly staff with great customer service -amazing bread -unique flavors Cons: -horrible hours to pick up bread regularly -limited availability of products that del out quickly -some breads are too sweet read more

Excellent food, but very rude customer service. The girls in the front are never welcoming and always treat us like an inconvenience when we come in. We love the bakery and the owner is very sweet. We typically buy food almost weekly for years now and it's a special treat for our employees. Our 10 year old son needed to use the bathroom urgently and when we requested (which we've never done in the almost 6 years as customers) only to be told we should try down at the Thai restaurant. I said we're not their customers and she just shrugged her shoulders, offered no apology, said that they were too busy in the back, and went back to her conversation with her co-worker. We have ignored the rude customer service for years because the food is so good, but I felt compelled to leave a review because I want them to do better. As a business owner, I consider our front of house employees as the most important because they set the tone for everything else. It would have cost them absolutely nothing to let a 10 year old boy use their restroom and would have garnered such good will with a regular customer. It came across as we were just an inconvenience to them. We will continue to patronize them, but we hope they will do better in the future. read more

Great little Filipino bakery! This was on top of my list of places to try since I came in from Seattle. They are only open Fridays and Saturdays, 12-6pm I believe. I called in on a Friday morning at 11:30am before they opened and preordered. I arrived at 12pm when they opened and there was already about 8 customers ahead of me. Checked in with friendly staff, paid for my order, and only took a few mins to get my order in hand. It was so fresh and steaming hot! Great prices, and so yummy! Will come back when I'm in town again! read more

Best freaking Filipino Bakery in Alaska. they're open on Friday & Saturday from 12 until sell out. They also do preorders which is the better way to go. the shop is small but the goodies are worth it. Everything is made fresh, Definitely recommend to everyone. read more

Wonderful!! It was so delicious and fulfilling! And such a clean area ! The service was just amazing it was a little pricey but it was definitely worth it ! read more

More office lunch adventures!!! I LOVE Josie's The empanadas are so delicious, perfectly seasoned and tender. Ube buns are a must try, and one of the best lumpia's I have tried. They are a pick up only but we make sure they into the rotation as often as possible. read more

Been there now between the posted hours and they are never open! Wish they could figure it out.

WOW! I've been meaning to check out this panaderia for a while, but just never got around to it (Shame on me). Their hours are kind of weird due to the fact that they open at noon, but close at four so your window of opportunity to patron them is kind of small. I was in the area for a doctor appointment for my son, and decided that I was going to make a point to head over there after the appointment. It is a very small take and go bakery with a set menu of items, but they do offer food specials on Saturdays, and also have some stuff for sale that is not listed on their standard menu. I got there right when they opened at noon, and there were already a few other people waiting to place orders. It seems like you can also call to pre-order, and they will have your stuff ready for pick up. Service was quick and friendly from the woman working the corner, and the owner was in the kitchen cooking. I ordered an order of lumpia (comes with 8), empanadas, pan de ube, and pan de coco. Their stuff is baked fresh so you will have to wait a bit for your food to be ready. I think I waited about 15 minutes, which is not bad at all. When they started cooking people's orders the bakery smelled heavenly. The prices for these items cannot be beat. 8 lumpia for $5!? You get quality items for cheap at Josie's! The food was absolutely delicious! The lumpia were packed with filling, and the outside was light and crispy. I think it was some of the best lumpia that I've had in the Anchorage or Valley. The empanadas were different than the traditional South American ones that I have eaten. The dough was crispy, buttery, and just a tad bit sweet, but the filling was savory. They are small empanadas, but packed with meat, potatoes and peas. Very filling considering how small the pastry was. The pan was also so good. Light, airy and sweet with tons of filling. The ube mixed with the sweet bread was so divine. Each item was made fresh, and made with care. I do not think you can order a bad thing from this bakery. I will make a point to go there on a Saturday so I can try their non bakery item Filipino dishes. After I finished all my treats from Josie's I was very upset because I should have ordered more! If you're looking for some Filipino bakery items then you need to give Josie's Bakery a try. I don't think you will go wrong with any of their items! read more

Josie’s Bakery - Rice and pork - Bakeries Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I reaaaally wish Josie's Bakery wasn't on the East side or I'd make it a point to go there regularly. The empanadas at this place ARE OFF THE CHAIN. Unfortunately, and perhaps, fortunately Josie's is completely out of my normal shopping track and literally nothing I shop is near it. I've never had empanadas like the ones she makes. I've had them from lots of countries and I can make my own, but these have a pocket that I struggle to describe.... it's not the usual pie crust. It's slightly sweet? But the filling is savory with meat, peas, potato and smidge of raisin. These are perfect. She makes them juuuuust small enough so that you'll obsess and crave a second too. Sigh. So, so good. I almost forgot! ... the other stuff is great too, truly. I asked for help from the staff in making a selection since I was uninitiated. They were so nice! I got some great stuff to bring home. Definitely the best Filipino baked goods I've ever purchased and the places was Super clean. read more

Wonderful spot, shame on me for just now visiting! This is a bakery. The setup is very much "bake and take". There's not really anywhere to eat your food, there is a small counter though. The small counter contains: FREE COFFEE. That's right, waiting for something that's made-to-order? Go ahead and buy yourself a baked treat and drink some free coffee! I got the tocino bowl, an empanada, and an ube w/ coconut bun. The Ube/coconut bun was FRESH from the oven, it was piping hot, and delicious. The empanada and tocino bowl were also very good. The prices here are also very low, especially given how fresh and high-quality the food is. Definitely give them a shot! read more

Well I am glad that I stopped in finally to try this place. Well there goes your diet if you step foot into this place as we just wanted to order everything. Everything is very well priced and very well made. My favorite thing was the Ube bread which was still warm and very freshly made. Once I ate one I had to grab another because they are that good and addicting. The siopao and empanadas were also amazing and very hot made to order. The coconut tasting flan was the icing on the top. Definitely will be coming back for more ube bread and to try more items. read more

If you haven't been here, what're you waiting for? I stumbled on this bakery randomly and decided to give it a try. I had the longanisa bowl and the Ube roll, ube coconut roll, and cheese roll. The bowl was super delicious. The sausages were super juicy and rice was cooked perfectly. The rolls are amazing and fresh. Super soft. The cheese one was my favorite. It had my eyes rolling to the back of my head because it was so good. Definitely recommend this bakery! read more

Manupuas are like those from Cali. So grateful.. I wish the store would open more. The ube bread and coco pan is good also. Empanadas I wish it was bigger but over all everything I mention was good. Great customer service also. read more

My favorite Filipino bakery here in town! We love grabbing the Ube and Pan de Coco bread. What I especially love about Josie's bakery is that you can place a special order and take them to parties/potlucks which we've done over 2 times now. The bread is always so fresh and decently sized. You have a variety to choose from: Ube, Pan de Coco, Ube with coconut, pandesal, or cheese bread! read more

Josie’s Bakery - Had a dozen Pan De Coco! - Bakeries Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

One of the newest bakeries in town. And family owned! Great addition to Anchorage. Located in the same shopping plaza / strip mall as Lalo pizza, Thai orchid and the post office, this Filipino bakery boasts an assortment of bao (breads). My personal favorites are the pork buns ("show" bao) and kids love the ube (yam) coconut bao. They also have a cream cheese and a cream cheese pimento in addition to some bao without filling. For a meal, they have a few Filipino dishes including freshly made lumpia. Bao are about $1.25 each although I think prices may go up a bit. Staff are friendly. Limited seating. Just a window bar with some seats, but no tables. Better for takeout. Large parking lot. Credit card accepted. I'll be back for sure. read more

It's ALWAYS fresh!!!! I love this place so much that I bought a few dozens of the bread with ube just to pass out to family and friends. Their lumpia is also really good!! I can not wait until I go back to visit so I can get my hands on their goodies. read more

Holy crap! Real Manapua in Alaska! I had the royal sampler of products and they were all awesome. Fill continue getting fat here. Thanks!

My first time coming in and I wanted to order everything on the board to try, but They were forcing me to buy 6 of each kind of everything in the menuboard even though it says the price for each!!! So disappointed!!! read more

"Broke the mouth" awesome good bakery. The aroma when you walk in tells the whole story

Delicious baked goods! Went to get my taxes done and the rolls I could see threw the window where just to enticing! I stopped in and tried there regular cheese roll and lumpia! So good! Another little treasure in Anchorage. read more

Really good prices, and really yummy Filipino breads!! They sell out really fast, but that's a good sign. I took a bite of the cheese bread and I cried a little tear on the way home because it reminded me of Jean's from RJ pastries cheese bread which I grew up on and I knew her personally. I hope to see halo-halo or an expansion into other foods besides the tocino/longanesa rice bowls but other than that you guys are doing a great job and the quality of food and the customer service is fantastic. Keep up the good work so Anchorage could have a good place to gather and eat good quality filipino food/and pastries! read more

Such a good deal. The Senoritas are amazing. Would definitely recommend to all friends. Totally worth the wait.

Josie's has amazing pastries/bowls and their customer service is awesome! A little family owned bakery & all so friendly and helpful. Prices are great and you won't be disappointed with the quality for such low price. My little family loves this place and hope they expand soon.

Their Filipino buns have great quality and run out fairly quick so you know it's good! Definitely a must try and highly recommended! :) read more

Best lunch ever!! I highly recommend trying it and am sure you'll be pleased. All precautions are observed.

The pansit and pichi pichi are really good.. My coworkers really like it.. and thank you so much..

It was my first time visiting here, and I was blown away. As soon as I walked in, I was enveloped in a delicious smell, and immediately conflicted by the choices laid in front me - pan after pan of golden, puffed rolls with different fillings, both savory and sweet. The prices are extremely affordable. Paid $8 for 3 savory chicken siopaos, and 3 different types of sweet filling rolls. What a steal! read more
