    Dubai slice
    Pawan S.

    The goat of Filipinos bakeries. I had originally tried them at Ube fest in Long Beach and they were so good I had to come check it out in person. Though they were sold out of a lot of stuff because of Mother's Day I still ended up grabbing 2 things. The Ube creme brulee cheesecake is perfection. 10/10 cheesecake. I thought I would not be a fan of the Dubai slice because I thought there wasn't any kataifi. But I was presently surprised the crust was kataifi! Such an awesome cake and idea. The service was also amazing the guy was super nice and let us know Mother's Day had made their stock low. The inside is small but clean and it's like a small hidden gem. Overall amazing bakery and I will probably post a tiktok about this place soon. So good!

    Don't be fooled by the outside look of the shop, although it's small- it's packing huge amounts of flavor! The person in front was super helpful and on it with making everything sound good :) There's slices, cakes, pies, cookie and crinkle cookies (which is what sells like hot cakes, i will be trying them next time!) I got a raspberry pistachio cake slice (7/10, good flavor but couldn't taste the pistachio as much and the raspberries were a bit soggy), strawberry tres leche slice (8.5/10, the slice itself was great but it was a bit dry for a tres leches), and the ube cheesecake crème brûlée (10/10, some of the best cheesecake i've ever had, it's not too sweet but not too sugary- they are also known for this number!) Highly recommend giving them a try :)

    Discovered LaMon Bakery at an outdoor movie event recently and immediately knew I was in trouble in the best way possible. This Filipino bakery has so many great options, especially if you're an ube lover. I tried the ube crème brûlée cheesecake(top seller), and it was one of the best ube desserts I've had in a long time. Perfectly sweet, rich without being heavy, and absolutely addictive. We also tried the ube cheesecake brownies and ube tres leches, and both were fantastic. Everything tasted fresh and clearly done with care. The owner Monica was incredibly kind and sweet, which made the experience even better. If you love ube, this is a must try and I'll be thinking about that cheesecake for awhile.

    I pretty much devoured this deng ube cheesecake. They came to a farmers markets where they told me the best seller is the ube cheese cake and I can see why. I also tried a calamansi cake that was delicious. There's a hint of calamansi that surprisingly went well with the chocolate. I highly recommend the ube cheese cake if you are an ube lover.

    Delicious Filipino bakery right on Broadway, across the street from Gallagher's and Syndicate. It's very small, you can drive right by easy. COOKIES*** Ube Crinkles are my go to! You get a nice stack of them. Perfect with some coffee or milk. Always fresh and moist, made with natural homemade ube halaya. CAKE*** We also tried a Slice of Ube Cheesecake Creme Brûlée. It melts right in your mouth. I've never had this any where else. The combination of the Ube with the custard of the creme brûlée is flavor perfection!!! SERVICE*** Very kind and informative young man was working the last time we went. Nice neighborhood vibe. PARKING*** Street parking, but lots of options

    Calling all ube-lovers!! LaMon is hands down one of the best places to get a cake in Long Beach. I love ube, and their ube items are top notch. The Ube Cheesecake Creme Brûlée makes my taste buds bounce into outer space and back; it's so good and hands-down my absolute favorite. The caramelized brûlée top adds a deep-caramel crunch that absolutely elevates this cheesecake. The Pistachio Raspberry meringue cake is so flavorful and light, a true crowd-pleaser. Other goodies: Ube Tiramisu, Biscoff Basque Cheesecake, and the Burj cake if you're looking for a decadent chocolatey layered dessert. Do not skip the Ube Crinkle Cookies! Parking is always hard to find, but the delicious treats and friendly service makes it so worth it!

    Came here for the first time over the weekend. We ordered a slice of Ube cheesecake creme brûlée, a slice of avocado cheesecake creme brûlée, and a slice of Ube and tres leches cake. I wrote the names in the order of which we favored. I never thought I'd enjoy a dessert that had avocado in it, but it was delicious. I'm glad we came here. Next visit we want to try some of the cookies as well. I'm not a gluten free girly but it's nice to see they have options for those who are.

    My boyfriend's brother ordered a ube tiramisu from here for my birthday. It was so delicious! You get that tiramisu flavor with hints of ube flavor and together it just makes the perfect bite!

    I'm excited to have a Filipino bakery in the neighborhood. I took my parents here and they're the toughest critics I know. Happy to say they enjoyed every bite! One of the items we ordered was the ube mango tres leches and it came with a scoop of ube that I wish we had more of! I'm very particular with my ube - the taste and texture need to be just right - and this was the one!! Selfishly, I hope they serve tins of ube at some point. Plus the mango puree was the perfect blend of sweet and tart. I've also had both the chocolate and ube crinkles, avocado cheesecake, black sesame cheesecake, pistachio raspberry cake, ube macaroons, and a couple others I can't seem to recall. Safe to say - I've tried about half the menu and it truly is a slice of heaven.

    Small little gem Modern fusion bakery. Love that Filipino twist they have The strawberry cake was just delicious. Love the cream. Almost like a tres leche cake with cream and berries They have a variety of cookies that are both large and tasty Love their pandas cookie. Not too sweet but tasty Cookies are soft and not crumbly

    Whole Cake Ube Tiramisu
    Melina H.

    My daughter's favorite cake is tiramisu. I always order one for her birthday. I saw a recommendation on a FB group about this bakery and I wanted to support a fellow filipino business. I wanted to surprise my daughter this year when I discovered that LaMon makes ube tiramisu. She also loves ube and this would be a nice surprise to have this combination. I ordered online an Ube tiramisu cake a month in advance for my daughter's birthday. A few days before, I decided I wanted to pick up a day before her birthday, so I text them and they confirmed the change. I drove 35 min on the day of pickup. The business was a small bakery filled with many desserts. To my surprise, my cake wasn't there due to a door dash order. I got in contact with Ron and he was apologetic. He assured me that they would make up for the error and his wife Monica made a new cake the next day. My daughter loved the cake and it's her new favorite. Despite the mishap, I will definitely come back and hope to try the other desserts like their ube cheesecake crème brûlée, ube crinkles, and the banana cream pie. I recommend confirming the order for future before heading out there for pickup.

    This little gem is a locally owned business It's mostly Ube desserts, so bring your Ube lover here. The staff here is incredibly friendly and helpful. On their yelp page it says it's dog friendly. And they also have vegan, gluten free and sugar free options I've also ordered some dessert from them through DoorDash / Uber eats. But this was my first time coming in They are also featured on the app- too good to go. Where they offer surprise bags at the end of the day. Unfortunately, ive yet to try their delicious looking cookies. So I'll definitely have to come back and continue to support this cute little shop PS- parking can be a little tricky. Especially depending on the time of day

I ordered the Cuban Empanada as an appetizer. The savory rice and bean filling was a perfect compliment to the sweet ripe plantain filling and hint of sweetness in the dough. They are baked and the dough is thick and chewy, so if you're not a fan of that type of Empanada, be warned... I ordered the Cuban Sandwich as the main course. It was DELICIOUS and I would recommend it to everyone! If you're a purist, like a few of my friends and family though, be warned. Their take on the Cuban is made with Ciabatta not Cuban Bread, Mozzarella not Swiss, and is toasted not pressed... I ordered a Vanilla & Dulce De Leche Cookie for Dessert. It was AMAZING!

I LOVE the crispy exterior of the empanadas, although interestingly, the first bites always tasted slightly salty. The fillings all had decent flavor, but none of them were outstanding or impressed me enough to want more. I will say, the green salsa they included with the order SIGNIFICANTLY improved the taste and experience of the empanadas. By itself, I'd rate the empanadas 3/5, but with the salsa, it definitely goes up to at least 4/5. But I dislike that the empanadas can't hold their own without the addition of the salsa. The shop is located in a plaza with a decent amount of parking. I think there were a few tables outside to enjoy the food, but not much seating otherwise. The girl at the counter seemed sweet and helpful and immediately greeted us when we came into the store. While the empanadas here aren't for me, it does seem like many people like them!
