    I need to start this off by saying their ube milkshake is incredible. I got it the first time I went here and this time and I don't think I could ever not get it. Thankfully my husband's willing to try new things so I usually have him get something different so I can try it too. I even got my youngest hooked on the ube milkshakes. I let her try mine last time and she regretted not getting it. So we both got it this time. I love that they let you try the different ice creams while you're getting ready to check out. We've also gotten their ube brownie and their ube oatmeal cream pie. I prefer the oatmeal cream pie over the brownie but I'm not really a big brownie fan. The service here is always really friendly. They are happy to help. It's not a very big store so it's better to go on the off hours. We went around 3:30 today and we only had another family in front of us. The last time we came was around 6 p.m. and the line was out the door. There is parking usually behind the store if you go in off hours so you don't need to park on colonial. I love how the store is decorated. The halo halo had flan on it and I wish I could just get that as a dessert. It was so good!! You really can't go wrong here!

    Even on a Wednesday Sampaguita Was packed. While it's off of Colonial, there is a parking lot in the back of the plaza. Despite there being a parking lot, we weren't able to find parking and we had to park on the street. For the middle of the week, I was surprised that there was a line out the door. It took about 15 minutes before we were serviced, but the staff behind the counter was working hard. Sampaguita has unique flavors, such as Ube. They were very accommodating and they let us try a bunch of different flavors. I was surprised because every flavor that I tried wasn't too sweet like ice cream typically is. My friend and I ordered the Ube brownie with Ube whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. It was good but also not too sweet. Personally I think the ice cream actually wasn't sweet enough. With the hype that Sampaguita gets, I was expecting to be blown out of the water, but it was a little underwhelming. I think there's better ice cream in Orlando. The dining room is really cute and there's actually a lot of tables. It's very comfortable to sit there and hang out with friends.

    Delicious desserts and baked goods. I love ube and this place definitely has plenty of that. My favorites are the oatmeal ube creampie and the ube milkshake. I also tried the halo halo which was unique with a bunch of flavors and textures. The staff is always friendly and helpful and give out as many samples of ice cream as it takes to make your decision. It is pretty small inside, but decorated nicely. It can get pretty busy and the line tends to extend outside. I'll definitely be making it back here again.

    Love this gourmet ice cream place near downtown Orlando. Serving Filipino inspired flavored ice cream. They let you taste it with small sample. Then you order at the end of the counter on what you want. If undecided- advised to do the 5 flight sampler. Our favorite is the ube cookie and cream. You can also get halo halo - a Filipino treat. They also serve pastries and cookies. If you are a local, sign up for their reward program. They also do ice cream cakes.

    Soy Sauce Butterscotch is a must try, super cute date spot that I highly recommend. My girl had bought me some ice cream and we found ourselves going back 30 minutes later to try the menu. To say their favors are unique and delicious is a disservice to, their take on these flavors and how amazing their execution was! 10/10 one of the best spots in Orlando.

    $11 Flight Sampler
    Joy J.

    Craving exotic ice cream this day. Opted for the mini cone flight. These are 5 mini cones with 1 scoop of any flavors (5) you choose. $11 I chose the Sampaguita, Ube cookie and cream, Buko pandan, Mango peach pie, Champorado. My favorite is still the Sampaguita. It has a very unique taste. Staff here are nice and helpful. The merch here are cute but quite pricey especially clothing. I love the cartoon pinay mascot.

    Pineapple Cake Single Scoop
    Joel C.

    Very fun place to stop. It's got a very neat ambiance and is a great place to meet up with friends. The food is very good. I ordered their classic Halo Halo and it was quite good, although not my personal favorite. I was not a huge fan of the flavor combinations but I know other people who loved it so I will let you be the judge of it. Their other ice cream flavors were good and quite unique, particularly the Pineapple Cake. Service was slow. I get that it is a busy place, but even then, it was slow and employees (although nice), seemed to not prioritize efficiency. A couple people left the line because of the wait. Overall, it's a fun stop. But it's expensive and some of their desserts are definitely an acquired taste. I'm sure the line is quick sometimes, but it was not for us.

    Sampaguita sits in a stretch of restaurants that honestly are all the pride and joy of Mills 50. This is the place you bring your bit city relatives to show them that Orlando has a competitive food scene. Sampaguita does NOT miss. You can get their traditional scooped ice cream in amazing Filipino fused flavors like my absolute favorites, soy butterscotch or banoffee; you could do their soft serve (ube vanilla swirl with ube sauce if you're nasty); you could grab baked goods or even take a milkshake to go. The line may be out the door and halfway around the block but they move through it like CHAMPs. Whatever you do, have a back up plan to eat your ice cream in your car, because sitting is limited at best.

    Personal flight - choose 5 flavors
    Julyana T.

    Popular ice cream place with the locals - people were lining outside on a Saturday night but the line wasn't all too bad. The 5 flavors I chose for my personal ice cream flight were: ube cookies & cream (personal favorite), ube latte, champorado, mango peach pie, and coffee & biskwit. These were served with miniature sugar cones and the cutest mini scoops of ice cream.

    Christian G.

    Made me proud as Pinoy! Best ice cream shop in Downtown Orlando. If you like ube, you will love this place. A lot of unique flavors to choose! There are vegan options! People are nice! Small but nice ambiance!

    Ube Brownie Sundae and Birthday Mamon cup
    Kerri C.

    After a lackluster dinner around the corner, stopping here was an improvement. On a Thursday night, it was moderately busy, yet not packed. Ordering was a smooth process, aided by cordial staff. My family was able to grab a table and soak up the tropically chic decor. I couldn't resist getting the Birthday Mamon since my personal holiday was the next day. I added coconut flakes which added another level of pleasing texture. The cake bits are a hidden treasure as you eat it. My kids got the Ube Brownie Sunday. Since I also added the Housemade Ube Whipped Cream to mine, we all ended up with purple lips, a badge of sweet honor. I will definitely return to try the Halo Halo and Sampaguita, the Filipino crowning jewels. This is a Yelp celebrated business for good reason. Go support this local gem!

    Halo-halo
    Happie M.

    I keep hearing about this place so I went to ck it out. I ordered halo-halo with ube ice cream. I was a little disappointed once I tasted it. The ice cream didn't taste ube as I was hoping for and the ingredients (sahog) are not the traditional ingredients I was used to. Overall, the halo-halo wasn't too bad. Their selections ice cream, on the other hand, were pretty good.

    99 flavors and that ain't enough! Filipino-own ice cream parlor in the orlando-area. I never knew until this podcast mentioned their favorite ice cream places. So glad to have the opportunity to this place out. I ended up getting their halo halo special. It was very city like to me compare to how the country side would serve. BUT what took the cake was the ice flavors! Yaaaaasss!! Filipino mango, and coconut panda was sooo tasty! My group also grabbed a scope and tried the sample cones. Flavors varied from aa simple as vanilla to halohalo. They switch it up weekly! They also sell merchandise for any fans and tourist!. I shall be back!

    I went in on a late Friday night. I was seated promptly because of my reservation at the bar. The…read morerestaurant is already very cozy, but being seated at the bar gave me a much more intimate experience. My server welcomed me and was great in helping me feel welcome as a solo diner. It was also very entertaining watching her and the other bartender whip up drinks in front of me. I ordered: Kinilaw - This is an elevated and more upscale take on the traditional dish. The hamachi was very fresh and the inclusion of the radish helped provide a change in texture. Despite all the fruit, it wasn't very sweet and the flavors of those and the coconut milk worked very well together. It tastes like kinilaw but it doesn't have the same "punch" or "impact" as the traditional one. But again, this is an upscale version and still tasted great otherwise. Crab Fat Shrimp - Shrimp cooked with a very creamy coconut milk sauce. I ordered this dish with the Sinangag garlic rice instead of having it with collard greens. Eating the shrimp with the rice is a great choice since the rice soaks up so much of the flavor from the sauce and the shrimp. Portion was surprisingly filling. Strawberry Basque Cheesecake - This was the best part of the menu! This portion was so generous and the dessert itself was sweet, but not sugary. The cheesecake was creamy and the roasted strawberries provided some acidity to cut through the richness. I had this with a salabat tea. Hot Salabat Tea - Ginger tea with lemon slices and a honey syrup. I loved how fresh the ginger was and it was a great way to end off the night. It felt very good for digestion. This is an upscale restaurant and therefore prices aren't very cheap. However, this is a restaurant to try at least once, especially for a special occasion.

I pretty much ordered the Classic Halo Halo - They have another version that leans more towards Americanized but the classic is the Filipino Traditional version. When it was delivered - I noticed it had more milky shaved ice than toppings. (As you can see from the picture). The toppings included - Shredded coconut, Flan, Ube Halaya, Colorful Kaong, Sweet beans, Sweetened Banana and Jackfruit. Before you can see it was more loaded in the glass. The price was $10.50 which is not bad for the size. The milk shaved ice was tooo sweet for my liking. I can tell it was a pre made milk ice block that they shaved once ordered. It fulfilled the craving nonetheless. Also I noticed some were buying the Siopao. Especially the Pork Asado one. They were almost out inside the cooler. I was told by staff that someone delivers the siopaos (the baker) and they are 4 huge siopao for $10.95. The Siopao were the BEST I have had. Better than the filipino franchised bakeries, That is how good these are. You can tell they are homemade. They are large tender soft fluffy light dough and not too thick ratio with the pork asado filling. The filling is packed inside the dough and that is what I love about this siopao. Its not mostly dough. It is evened out throughout - Every bite you get the filling. I will def get these again. Service here is ok - I noticed the check out tab .. They divide the taxes when you pay the bill and its confusing at first as to why they add 3 types of "taxes" for a bill. You are paying 3 taxes along with the sub total of the bill. Other than that - The Halo Halo was a popular dessert this day throughout the diners,

They had fans all over to keep the place somewhat cool. We ordered chicken chicharron, too salty. Bangsilog was bland, the chicharron made up for the taste. The longsilog, my husband didn't like.

The rice noodle dish stands out in my mind. It was delicate and flavorful. Kanayan Grill is in a strip mall. But it is an island of its own. The restaurant is clean and well cared for. The server was friendly and helpful. She checked on us and answered questions. We had the egg rolls which were crispy and very good with a dipping sauce. We ordered sotanghon which best fit my memory of a favorite from the past. I was really good. A large portion with vegetables and meat. We also had Bicol express combo. This was a wonderful surprise. The flavors blended together in a savory creamy spicy sauce-heat can be adjusted. You could taste the coconut but not overpowering. Just the perfect blend. The pork was tender. It came with a perfectly cooked rice. Beverages were cans/bottles with cups of ice on request. For dessert we had the famous Halo-Halo. Mix mix mix we were told. And we did. But before I mixed I tried the Ube ice cream alone. I had never had Ube before. It was delicious. I read the ingredients before I ordered it but after mix mix mix we were treated to taste explosions.

Overall I think it is just what Jollibee is supposed to be. It's good, not great, but the prices ($60 for a "family meal") are kind of wild. I will say, the pancit palabok is a little more interesting here. The sauce isn't what I remember, but it's still good. Service is reliable for the simple reason that they operate on the premise that they are grateful for your visit and to serve you! One could never complain with that mindset of a popular franchise or chain. The space is nice. It's not classic Jollibee, but it still feels like you're definitely somewhere that is different than the rest and for that, it'll always have my baseline of adoration for the sampling of the popular Pinay fast food joint that it is.
