This…read morefamily-owned, Oaxacan-inspired café sources many of its ingredients directly from Mexico, and you can truly taste the care they put into everything they make. Today I finally tried their Oaxacan Chilaquiles, made with organic corn from Mexico, homemade salsa verde, and two eggs, and they were absolutely delicious! If you visit, I also highly recommend the Goki Mocha, made with rich Oaxacan chocolate. It's been my favorite drink there for years. The service is always wonderful, and you can tell this place is built with so much love and heart. The family is incredibly kind, and I love supporting their business. If you're in the area, definitely give Goki Cafe a try!

There is a small parking lot to park in. I love the bright colors and inviting decor. Drinks: I've tried their horchata latte and goki latte. I enjoyed the boldness of the coffee. It is strong enough to taste through the milk and other flavors in each drink. I haven't tried their baked goods yet but one day I will. Definitely recommend the Goki latte. Service/Ambiance: Family owned coffee shop, which can be felt through the staff and interactions. Great place to come to if you have toddlers that enjoy watching the trains. Overall, I would recommend Goki for their warm and welcoming ambiance and delicious coffee drinks.

tl;dr the unreal pies overshadow the otherwise fine Filipino-ish pastry lineup; they are worth the…read morepretty penny Baking with Ish is the Filipino micro-bakery from Chef Ishnoelle Chin Richardson. What began as a pandemic-time pop-up has since transitioned into a San Gabriel brick-and-mortar. Ish has garnered recognition from Vogue, the LA Times, and Thrillist, particularly for the one-of-a-kind, Filipino-ish pies and eye-catching purple pancakes; now, it's one of the trendiest bakeries in Greater Los Angeles. BWI has a stall in the Blossom Market Hall. Briefly, this premium San Gabriel food hall (opened in a former Masonic lodge) hosts two rooms of fast-casual food and beverages, broadly with a pan-Asian bent. The rainbow mosaic mural in the main room is almost pretty enough to make you forget the weak AC. Chatter from customers overwhelms the pop playlist. BWI just took over a larger stall in the main market space. The red-and-white logo and "menu board" offer a hint into the food lineup -- peek into the all-glass pastry case and pick what sounds good. Sometimes, the pies are in hiding, so don't be afraid to ask if any slices are available. The rotating pastry menu is a crapshoot. But if they're available, you must try one of the ube-infused pies. I loved the Ube Bananoffee Pie. This Filipino spin on bananoffee pie infused ube into its thick layer of dulce de leche, while otherwise executing the other components at a high level. The dynamic array of textures and flavors culminated in one of the region's best desserts, full stop. Meanwhile, the Blue Corn Mochi Pancakes were next level. The springy texture was addictive, and the sweet-and-salty combo of ube flan cream and flaky sea salt was a match made in heaven. Each enormous hotcake boasted the same diameter as one of Ish's full pies, so with two pancakes to an order, you could reasonably satisfy 4 hungry bellies. Other baked goods have been more hit-or-miss. For example, the Ube, Matcha, Black Sesame Bun (somewhere between a cinnamon roll and a sticky bun) paired airy, brioche-esque bread with a matcha-forward paste, but it otherwise felt like it was missing a syrupy sweetness. The service has always been efficient (don't be surprised if Ish himself gives you tips for how to best reheat a treat at home), and the baked goods range from $4 for cookies to $10 for pie slices to $17 for the pancake stack. While not every item has been a hit, the pies are reason alone to visit and pay a premium -- just make sure they're in stock!

Their cakes have no preservatives, are low in sugar, use real cream, and typically lasts 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator since everything is all natural. They have different flavors such as original, strawberry, cookies and cream, etc. They also do custom cakes for birthdays, weddings, and all celebrations! I am definitely coming back here.

The Chinese cupcake wrapped in paper was one of the best I've had. It was spongy, moist and just the right amount of sweetness. Pineapple bun is the Hong Kong style buns. The top is crispy while the rest of the bun is soft. Sesame bun was soft and filled with good amount of sesame inside. Egg tart was also good. Although the crust could be flakier, the egg custard part was very good. I haven't tried everything in the store but what I have tried recently, I liked it a lot. I will be back to try other items.
