Took a quick trip to the "Philippine Bread House" today and grabbed a few yummy things! First off, the parking is extremely small and narrow. There are only a few spots in a tiny lot, making it very tough to park. That said, if you're planning on going, make sure to plan accordingly (ie: bring a small car, come earlier). Inside is relatively small, consisting of a bakery section, a hot food section, and a few tables to sit and eat. Both the bakery and hot food sections include a wide variety of options. I tried their palabok, which was okay, nothing extraordinary. However, their ensaymada and fresh baked pandesal are both very delicious! In terms of pricing, everything is priced fairly. Also, the staff is nice. Overall, this is a great Filipino mom-and-pop shop that I've been going to for years, and I would recommend others to stop by if they're in the area. read more

Came here for the hot pandesal and did not disappoint! The most affordable pandesal I've seen so far at 30cents per piece! Other baked items like the mamon and ensaymada are only good if you are craving for Filipino panaderia type. There's also Cafe Filipino that shares the same location/building where you can find some Filipino goodies and eat Filipino meals. Handful of seating spots. Front parallel park or use the side parking lot at no charge. read more

Food (5/5): Awesome to have the Filipino bakery store in JSQ area. Lots of solid options for desserts and even savory. Service (4/5): We haven't had any issues with the service and the lines aren't too bad usually. Ambiance (4/5): A bit of an older looking store but overall the items are well laid out and this feels like an authentic bakery. read more

Philippine Bread House - Bakeries Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I got sick for eating late lunch menu. The tables were left uncleaned after customers left. I had to find a clean table. The employees ate on the dirty table by the customers for their lunch break. The quality of the cakes are not the same. They look slightly dilapidated. The sansrival is very yellow. It should not be if you use real butter. Wishing they can revive the same quality reputation it used to have. I really like Philippines Bread House when I was younger. I even have the magnet in my fridge before. read more

The best and classic well established. They even have a restaurant inside. The pandesal and the sugar bread are simply the best! Yum!

We came from Texas for their hopia, and I was fortunate to have gotten the last hopia baboy! We visited in the afternoon, and it's nice to see they're still popular for their hopia. The taste was still as good as we remembered with the flaky crust. Their ube ensaymada was also really tasty and cheesy. There's a small parking lot out front. We'll always try to make a visit when in town! read more

One could smell the aroma of fresh bread from the parking lot! Went to the wrong entrance (side door facing the gated parking lot adjacent to the building) and saw a huge kitchen area full of trays of delicious bread. Was told sternly by one of the bakers to go through the front entrance by the main street. It was busy in the late afternoon. There was a long line and a younger lady who was handing out the orders was pretty impatient when she saw me pause for a few seconds to think about what to order. However, the pandesal was fresh and delicious and the ube roll was divine! read more

Love this multi purpose store! Bakery with fresh, hot Filipino bread, and sweet native pastries. They also provide Fresh Filipino food with various proteins, vegetable dishes, and Philippine snack food. Their food trays are always replenished, so that it doesn't sit the whole day, and is always fresh. Customer service is attentive and friendly, and there is adequate seating for dine in orders. Definitely a must try! read more

Cafe food and baked items, hot freshly baked pan de sal and twisted donuts are all outrageous!

First time coming here with my family. Theres street parking infront of the store. I expected a lot more baked goods like the ones in the philippines but not much varieties but they sell their baked goods for a good price. They had pan de coco, pan de sal, sugar donuts, ube ensaymada, hopia, ube bread, etc. They have a lot of racks to display the baked goods but they were all scattered around of the same things. read more

The Philippine Bread House is virtually a historic monument in Jersey City. I don't recall a time when we didn't pick up some type of bread from this bakery. Sad to say it is a shadow of its former self. One can say they "jumped the shark". We went in for lunch after going to the DMV. We were super hungry. The food was cold and the lechon was rubbery. My wife spent over $70 dollars on food to take home in addition to the meal we sat down to eat. In addition we bought bread to take home which was over $100. In total almost $200 of items. I asked an elderly woman in front if we can have a plastic bag. She said she didn't have any. This was odd because my daughter was charged thirty cents by a young girl near the buffet for a plastic bag a few minutes before we left. Imagine purchasing almost $200 dollars worth of items and paying 30 cents for a plastic bag. Ridiculous. In addition the older woman and a male worker were very rude when asked if they can get one. Totally disappointed with the poor customer service especially from an older woman. I for one will never patronize this establishment ever again. read more

(Tookout 12/04/2022 SU @ 2:30pm): I was ready to get my fill of some Filipino bread products from this house! In my quest to explore the various cuisine scenes throughout Jersey City, I came across Philippine Bread House after I completed a takeout order from associated eatery Cafe Pilipino located inside to add to my Filipino food craving. Having boasted an assortment of various breads, cakes, pastries, and native delicacies, I was excited to see what they had available. Apparently, there was a growing Pinoy community that I never explored when I visited last year and hardly touched this time. With a large bag filled with staple Filipino dishes, now it was time to complement that with some bread treats. Were these sweets pleasing to my palate!? PURCHASE 6pc Hopia Baboy ($4.65): Made with simple ingredients such as sugar, onion, scallion, salt, pork oil, and shortening topped with sesame seeds, these flaky pastries were fresh, soft, and easy to eat more than one per seating. The only drawback was that I felt there could've been more filling because there wasn't much. Thankfully, these were still lovely paired with green tea https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Zmu2L1UmcavViV1Rgokj0Q&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Ensaymada Petite ($1.75): A fist-sized brioche bread with a sweet composition smeared with butter, sugar, and cheese flakes, this wasn't filled with anything but still a lovely snack I had the next day https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=5rONDGZUARr-yOM8XsOg1Q&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Ensaymada Macapuno ($1.85): Filled with minimal coconut bits and flavoring, this cushiony soft bread roll was a pleasant breakfast meal the next morning with green tea - yummy https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=zHyrfN4_M_eHQf8XbZ-U8A&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Ensaymada Ube ($1.85): Filled with minimal ube bits and flavoring, this cushiony soft bread roll was a wonderful dessert - very good but I would love more ube, please https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=gtJJBSYwn7VAf9tbCI06UQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. SERVICE The place was packed when I arrived, and I had to take a number. Thankfully, the line went quickly, and I had a chance to decide what I wanted. Unfortunately, at this time of day, inventory and selection was at a minimum (advisable you came early), so I grabbed a very small sampling of what they had left into a basket, and took it to the register where I was quickly taken care of. In this case, it was pretty hands-off except for the cashier. However, if you needed something from the display cases, then someone was there behind the counter to help out. All was good - salamat! PARKING (FREE; N/A this instance) This was a moot point since I walked. However, there was a sliver of a shared parking lot on the side, while there seemed to be plenty of spots along the main drag of Newark Ave. and all surrounding side streets. - nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A decent-sized bakery with a small corner reserved for cafeteria-style eatery Cafe Pilipino, it was filled with shelves, and center display, and several display cases normally stocked with a ton of goodies (the shelves were kind of bare at this time of day) https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=F-fL_9may7Wt6RKvB3Dg_A&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. There was sufficient room for patrons as they would snack around to the checkout counter. Plenty of natural lighting came through all the various windows and front door while soul-sucking fluorescent electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. I noticed one TV while Filipino music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=2PnWbNW1QC88Z_kBeOJKRg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops... if it weren't so freakin' cold. OVERALL Philippine Bread House was a favorable introduction to Jersey City's Filipino pastries which left me wanting more from this place and others. I definitely felt I needed to return because I really didn't have as much of an experience as I wished this time around. There were so many items I loved which were either out of stock or just didn't have enough time to try and eat it all. I loved what I bought, the prices were comparable, and the service was fine. Plus, I always preferred to support small mom & pop businesses. I found exceptionally good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $10.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, although they accepted credit cards, not mine of choice... AMEX! 4.5 STARS read more

Came here for breakfast! Many selections from the bakery section and hot food served section. Didn't get anything from the hot food section bc thought it was relatively expensive. Did get a bakery! It was okay but its price. If you are a die hard ube fan, must stop by.overall the bakery's are fairly priced. People are nice here. Definitely a hidden gem read more

Great breads, sweets and food!! I came for the sugar donuts. When they are fresh they a pillowy soft and so tasty. Prices are decent! Also try the Pan de sol bread! Delicious! read more

The quality of their bread is deteriorating and they're charging too much! Not buying here again!

The shelves almost nothing to choose except ensaymada or meringue ..I didn't even seen any pandesal or etc..ensaymada ube bread filling too little ..food are not bad at all....better get in Woodside little Manila read more

I got a bag of goodies from here. The Ube brioche was super soft and had the right amount of Ube in it. The Ube flan had the Ube base topped with regular flan. That's a good amount of flan in that small cup. The appearance is deceiving. The bibingka was normal, usual sticky rice packed densely topped with burnt caramel. The pitchi pitchi was quite unique. Sweet cassava squares with salty shredded soft cheese. My favorite was the food for the gods cake slices. Amazing date walnut cakes with rich buttery goodness. read more

The ensymada that I bought and the fresh pandesal bread I bought was good. However, if you're going to call yourself the bread house I would've expected there to be a large variety of bread to choose from. I went at around 9, which I would consider a reasonable time for a bakery to have a plentiful amount of fresh baked goods. I was looking forward to trying their Spanish roll but they only have it on Wednesdays (not available Monday when I went). read more

Growing up in JC this place was always a go to place for all those Filipino treats we all love so much and they have them all. I could really get in trouble here and almost do every time . Prices are reasonable and staff is great . This will always be my go to on my trips to JC . Keep up the great eats!! read more

Quality dropped really hard. The ensaimada ($2.25) was really dry and inedible. It was at least a day old at that point. Food waste is awful and all, but bread that old should be given away or put in a discount bin, or fed to the birds. Not at all acceptable if you're expecting something fresh from a bakery. I was directed to a separate counter to buy a coffee, but no one was there and I just left. It just feels like the business has given up on itself. read more

Best ensaymada consistently!! There are a few places that sell Filipino pastries, but this place has my favorite ensaymada of them all. Don't get this confused with empanadas which are mostly savory pies. This is a light and fluffy brioche with butter, sugar, and cheese on top! Sound like a weird combo? Try it!! I heat mine in the microwave for 10 sec and eat with coffee. Their other desserts are also pretty good. We like the silvanas and maja blanca. My parents love the hoping here as well. If you're looking for traditional Filipino desserts, this is the right spot! read more

I haven't been here in years. My mom used to send me to buy pork adobo buns. So happy it's still here! We came for Enseymada, pork adobo buns, pan de Sal and some of the sugar donuts. It reminds me of when we used to visit my grandmother in Manila and eating pan de Sal with star margarine with sugar sprinkled on top. The sugar donut-looks like a French twist-reminds is so much of Korean Koppe pan. So fresh and delicious! What is this called? The enseymada melts in your mouth. So dangerous to know PBH is still around! We will be back!!! read more

Absolutely fantastic place. Give it a try. Amazingly delicious snacks and desserts. I particularly love the peanuts with garlic. The staff are very polite and courteous. Get a nutritious meal too in the back. read more

very unprofessional employees or poor customer service experienced today. Im have been a long time patron from years- never have experienced this kind of behavior (bakery dept). Employee very disrespectful- un acceotable read more

Love Filipino pastries or known as "tinapays" in local terms. Enjoy it with pinoys popular coffee known as "kapeng barako" or macho coffee and you should be set. But when I sliced this ube bread I just bought, I couldn't get to the ube even with 3 slices into the center- like they say,, choose your bread wisely! read more

We were in the area so we popped in for some baked goods. We picked up some Puto with cheese and also a box of Kutsinta. The Kulsinta is very similar to a steamed rice cake that's popular in my grandparents' hometown in China, as well as Hong Kong. Staff were super nice and both boxes of goodies were fantastic. read more

Absolutely amazing! We got two combos from the hot food section and tried 4 different dishes, although it doesn't look beautiful, each dish was yummy and unique in its own. Enjoyed each bite and at good value to boot. The bakery items was all delicious also. The chicken and pork on a stick was okay, and a little on the expensive side. Overall, a good spot to grab a variety of food to enjoy throughout your day. read more

I love this place. I'm a proud Filipino American, and I know good Filipino treats when I taste them. And I got all the treats. If you're not familiar with Filipino baked goodies, my favorite is the ensaymada regular. I haven't found a place that tops Philippine Bread House that isn't in the Philippines. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because I found the breakfast service just okay. It was solid Filipino food but nothing special. Eat the ensaymada. You won't be disappointed. Unless you are lactose intolerant. Then do not eat the ensaymada (cheese). read more

My friends brought me here and what a treat! Though I am vegetarian, there were plenty of options I could eat. There was also a nice seating area in the corner of the store. I really liked the sesame bread with red bean, the ube cookies and the ensaymada. It was so good, can't wait to come back here and try more!! read more

Super disappointed when I can with my mom. We were looking to stock up on some Filipino treats. And they had NONE of it . No puto or bibingka . Or cassava treats . Service is not welcoming No menu They do serve hot food on one side and staff seemed to be more welcoming there but the bakery side . And to think my and mom are part Filipino. Lol. Probably won't go back there ever again Parking lot layout is insane! But at least there is a parking lot . Otherwise street parking is impossible read more

This place serves delicious and very affordable food!! I ordered the lunch combination of pancit noodles with okra and chicken adobo. The food was absolutely delicious, a huge portion and $8. The pastries look beautiful and so I got a handful to go, however I have not tried them yet. The atmosphere is very cozy, with plenty of tables and Filipino tv playing in the corner. I am looking forwards to returning soon! read more

Now Jerome is the coolest Filipino that I've EVER SEEN And I'm including everybody everywhere I've EVER BEEN He makes me wish I could afford to buy a PHILIPINE An Island, that is, I heard they only cost SEVENTEEN Million for a small one, with trees that are EVERGREEN I'd take more girls to my island than CHARLIE SHEEN We'd play naked twister while we listened to DANCING QUEEN Until they realized I don't like kitties, JUST THE PEEN Anyway, what I wanna say, what I REALLY MEAN Is that I swear I'm not the father of the son of BILLIE JEAN And anyone who says any different gets a RUPTURED SPLEEN And bloodstains on your best clothes that nobody can DRY CLEAN No, actually, I wanna say, get down to a CASH MACHINE Cuz I know a bread house that's addictive like NICOTINE You'll wanna jump on it many times like a TRAMPOLINE You'll fill up with it more than your Hummer on GASOLINE You'll eat it with Liver & Chianti & a FAVA BEAN You'll lose your head like Joan Of Arc in a GUILLOTINE You'll be hornier for this place than Jared with a SUBMARINE You'll be kinky when you taste it like an old man wearing NEOPRENE You'll be so into this Bread House your thoughts will be UNCLEAN You'll keep coming back like Jamie Lee Curtis in HALLOWEEN You'll make friends with the boss and I don't mean SPRINGSTEEN You'll be as obnoxious as calling Meat "PROTEIN" You'll want it more badly than Doc Brown wanted a TIME MACHINE You'll need it more than Ebola victims need a QUARANTINE You'll fantasize about it and get Wilder THAN GENE You'll get it faster than shaved-head Britney got an INTERVENE You'll stuff yourself with it like Pam Anderson and SALINE You'll be all up on it like Wilkes-Boothe was on the MEZZANINE You'll beg for it like Richard Gere begs Gerbils to use VASELINE The only Bread House you need to visit is PHILLIPINE WHAT I came here many years ago and wasn't impressed, because I didn't know what I was looking for. I was like a little lost puppy, lapping at anything I saw. Then came the jail time. When I got out, I learned how to lick donuts and get away with it before returning here. Then I ariana marathon. A really big one, it was called the "Grande Marathon." Then I spoke to Jerome, and he told me this was the place to come, so I came back with a little more knowledge. At first they wouldn't sell me anything because I didn't look like them, then I realized I was in the wrong place. That was the "Philistine Bread House." My second and most recent trip to Philippine bread was far more successful than the first. The first time I came here I didn't know what I was looking for so I grabned some bread and pastries and didn't really like them. But this most recent time I got the really good Taro pastries. The buns with Taro inside. They were lovely! But the servers were like "HE'S BEHIND YOU", and nobody was behind me. I got so confused. Then I realized I was at the "Pantomime Bread House." And even better was the really nice bubble tea which I was not expecting since the reviews said it wouldn't be very good. Service was also really nice especially from some of the girls here rather than others. And I could definitely spend many mornings in here sampling all the Filipino Delights. There were so many cute girls in here, in very skimpy underwear! Then I realized I had accidentally come (so to speak) to the "Pantyliner Bread House." They have a buffet inside here as well which I think is run by separate people, but I didn't go for that because the prices were high and I had a lot of other stops on my food tour coming up. Plus the reviews said get the bread and I got the bread and I was damn delighted that I did. The place was being picketed and boycotted by Jewish people when I came here. They talked about moving all the bread out of the shop and taking it to Williamsburg. Then I realized I'd accidentally come to the "Palestine Bread House." Definitely one of many culinary highlights of New Jersey, and definitely the best Filipino place I've been to so far (and I've tried quite a few, from Amsterdam to Cleveland!), or thereabouts. And I was shocked to find Jeffree Starr and Ru Paul serving the baked goods. Then I realized I'd entered the wrong store. I was in the "Flamingqueen Bread House." read more

They've been around for a long time service fresh Filipino items and foods, if you can get past the baked goods. Only place around that makes fresh pandesal. Tip: Bring cheese or butter or buy them around the corner at the Filipino store. Eat the pandesal ASAP before they get cold. PBH has been rock solid for years. It has served the Jersey City community and beyond with its well made products and goods. Service is fast and busy during the weekends. PBH, don't ever change. read more

Location: it's in Hoboken? I don't. For me who don't have a car, this place is but far and by the time I arrived at the place, I know this is a neighborhood thing. Everything here is either made by ube or cheese. Can I ask why? Anyways. I love anything with ube so why not. Bakeries: had ube cake. It is odd. It is ube with creams with something I still Haven't figure out. Anyway, I think the taste is bit odd. Also had a cheese bread. Hmm not my fav I would say. The bread is bit dry. Overall: I gave 4 stars because of the food 3 stars but I definitely think this place is an empowering ethnic shop for defying gentrification for defying hateful people. I hope this place lasts longer and thrive ! read more

If you want Pandesal, then this is a good place to get it. Which they shld just stick with it. The other food like dishes for breakfast or lunch, it is not great and really below par in Any angle you take it. Theirs adobo, bangus, whatever dishes they are selling doesn't have enough seasoning and you can see that they have been reheated for a few days. They are not fresh. They taste rubbery on those bangus and surely an old one no matter how they try to refry them. I think they shld just stick to their pandesal. That is what they are good at. read more

I had lunch here. I ordered a 3 side combo meal. The food didn't taste fresh. I spent almost $19 for the meal and a can of soda. I could barely eat anything I ordered. The cashier looks annoyed while ringing up my meal. The tables were not clean and the place looks dirty. The only thing I liked was their ensaymada. read more

It was a good haul today as usual from Philippine Bread House in Newark Avenue in Jersey City. It was a good day for we were able to get our hands on their hot pandesal. It's not always the case nowadays. The store now apparently accepts "reservation" on their famous pandesal, which I believe should not be allowed. Maybe if they ONLY ALLOW A CERTAIN NUMBER OF BAGS to be reserved, (maybe they do?) that's acceptable. One time, we were there early in the morning, to get them hot, but someone ordered (mind you, the buyer wasn't even there yet) and they couldn't accommodate those of us who were already there! That's like about nine customers that were turned down. They could have at least gave it to us and then just let those who made the reservation wait for the new batch. They need to figure that out so that those of us who actually wake up early and physically be there at their store could get their hot and tasty pandesal! Thank you PBH for letting us enjoy a little piece of home read more
