Full of fun Filipino pastries $5-7. + Corn bibingka ($5) sweet and grainy. (7.8/10) + Figgy honey bibingka ($5) too sweet for me but reminded me of malay sponge cake. (6/10) + Ube cheese pandasal ($5) was okay, cheesy and soft. (6.7/10) + Ube ensaymada ($6) my first time! Super super soft w this crunchy crystal + ube cream (7.9/10) + Pandan cinny bun ($7) more cinnamon than pandan but soft! (7/10)

Great customer service. You can tell a lot of love goes into these yummy treats. Good vibes. Small quaint and clean. This stop I got their special blueberry pandan cake (sorry if I spelled that wrong!). Good lord it was spectacular! I also snagged their salted chocolate chip cookie - so comforting and delicious. You can't go wrong with any picks here. Specializing in Filipino flavors, beautiful presentation and so tasty on the buds. Highly recommend

pinipig cookie
Alaric S.

recently visited San and wolves in Long Beach since they were a Filipino small business. They have a lot of vegan pastries that were pretty good, but somewhat sweet. The service was pretty good since we were indecisive in selecting what we wanted. The ambience was a nice café with no seats but a coffee shop next-door that was also Filipino

Small line outside on a Saturday morning, but it moved fast. Once inside, there's a small case of breads, and a small case of cakes. I opted for the pandan cinnamon roll and a ube malasada. The malasada felt like there's a creme brulee crust on the outside where it was a harder exterior and a soft interior. It was also chewier like it was made of rice flour. Can someone confirm if it's made of rice flour? The pandan cinnamon roll was delish and had a soft center. Tasty, but not sure if I can taste pandan. I would still return! $13 for both items.

All the pastry options I got were super delicious and flavorful. I got the cornbread bibingka, bicho-bicho, everything donut, pandas and black sesame buns, Spanish bread, calamansi marble bread, pinipig chocolate chip cookie and the crinkle cookie! There was two people in front of me but the service was quick, and it's a small shop with no indoor seating, so everything is to go! However, the ambiance was cute and simplistic.

This review has actually been long overdue. I've been ordering from S&W even before they opened their brick and mortar. Their bread and pastries are always good quality and very nostalgic. Even though I'm not a Filipino, the flavor of their goodies are very similar to where I'm from. I think I might have tried (almost) all stuff they have in store. Some of my favorites are bibingkas (never go wrong with this), any weekend special donuts (ube or cream "cheese" filled donuts), ube cheez pandesal and cakes. I also like their pop tarts but they usually get sold out pretty fast. Their staff are always nice and personable. Check their instagram for any special items or any other updates (such as if they're sold out fast, or if there's any discount or if there's a long line). I'd suggest to eat their bread items on the day of. The other non-bread stuff are still good even after a few days. Typically weekends are busier, especially due to their weekend specials that are hard to miss!

1. The pastries were soft and not too sweet! I really love that blueberry cornbread bibingka! 2. The spot has chill casual vibes! The interior is cozy! 3. The staff were friendly and timely with our order! It was ready after 5 mins! 4. There is no seating inside! There is a bench outside! 5. I only saw street parking available! Note: This spot does not have restroom available for customers! Photo: Blueberry Cornbread Bibingka and Black Sesame Bread

Baked goodies
Lauren S.

Incredibly tasting, quick line, and very decadent. Recommend splitting the items if you don't like super sweet things. Splitting also made it perfect to try multiple things. Everything looked divine. The details put into the execution is noticed. Small cozy shop with efficient service and tasty baked goods and coffee. You'll definitely be getting everything to-go as there's no seating area inside.

Pandan sago
Purbali S.

Amazing vegan Filipino desserts! You would never know they are vegan. Tried the Ube and Pandan cinnamon rolls and both were delicious cinnamon rolls that captured both flavors perfectly. Our favorite was the Pandan Sago, it was so tasty ! You'll love it if you enjoy Pandan / coconut flavors. Cute little shop won the corner with street parking. The employees were friendly and helped us pick out our desserts.

Ube Malasada and Ube Cinnamon Roll
Arturo P.

I finally got the chance to try this place and their selection of desserts and pastries! Last time I tried to come they had run out of basically everything, which was unfortunate! It's pretty small inside, so we had to shortly wait in a line outside before going in. The staff were really sweet and we got the Ube Malasada and the Ube Cinnamon roll, which were absolutely divine! The malasada was crispy, but still super soft inside and the ube filling was delicious! The cinnamon roll definitely stole the show! It was so good and you can really taste the ube mixed in it. My boyfriend and I loved it! Make sure to stop by early before they sell out!

A Little Taste of the Philippines with Amazing Vibes! My colleague and I were craving authentic Filipino coffee and baked treats, and thanks to Yelp, we discovered this wonderful little gem! From the moment we arrived, we loved the welcoming vibes, warm hospitality, and friendly service. We tried the Ube Bun, Cheese Enseymada and the most delicious Barako coffee! Everything made our visit feel extra special, and the coffee was definitely a highlight. If you're looking for a taste of Filipino culture, delicious baked goodies, and great coffee served with genuine hospitality, Sans & Wolves Bakeshop is absolutely worth a visit! We're so happy we found this spot and can't wait to come back to try more of their goodies. Supporting local businesses that bring culture, heart, and great flavors together is always a win. Highly recommend! Thank you Joffrey, Arvin, and Dana for your exceptional service!

pandesal
Mollie P.

Was going to Reinne's place next door and saw how cute this shop was! Had to support local businesses Street parking only, I don't think I saw seating inside but there was a bench outside! The man who helped me was so nice and patient, even helped me pronounce the name of what I ordered because I couldn't Got a pandesul to go with my coffee, it was perfect. Not too sweet and went amazing with my coffee. Would love to come back to try more stuff!

Small Filipino bakery. All vegan. Staff was incredibly nice. I was impressed that they offered such a variety. My only qualm is that some items-- i wish they were served warm. I was there around 10am on a weekday and they were already sold out of some items. I'm sure it varies day to day but if you're set on something, pre-order (if available) or get there early. 10am is not early. They open at 7:30.

All the cakes are prebaked and packaged, but one can come in to have it decorated with custom lettering while you wait.

We've tried a lot of different version from different places all over, and have come to the conclusion that we like the version at Gemmae's, the best (as long as for my wife, they skip adding patis to the pancit).

For drinks I recommend the Electric Daisy. The crushed Sichuan Peppercorns on the rim leaves an enjoyable, LIGHT, numbing sensation that makes this guava based cocktail feel even more refreshing! Easy to have multiple in one setting, so be careful For eats, be sure to try the Swordfish Katsu - perfectly breaded and adorned with pan-seared peaches, kale and aoli. Union is intentional from interior design to its menu, with a staff that is eager and ready to make sure you have the best experience. Shoutout to Sarah on staff, she felt like visiting a friend in their new city as she truly showed us around as if we've known her for years. In my heart, I initially wanted to gate-keep this spot but I truly want everyone to experience this gem, hidden in the Zaferia neighborhood of good ole Long Beach! If Manuela (in Hauser + Wirth DTLA) had a baby, Union would be its down-to earth first born. Excited to try some of the art classes and wellness offerings also located in the Compound and check out new exhibits over the coming months.

Overall this is a great grocery store if you're looking you staple Filipino ingredients and decent food to fill you up while shopping. It was not too busy when we went and the store is clean. From the hot bar we got a combo #2, which comes with one scoop of rice, one scoop of pancit, and two entrees. We got kare kare and a chicken barbecue skewer. The pancit is just okay and the kare kare was tender and flavorful, but the skewer was probably the best one that I would come back for.

Rarely, I purchased hot food from a supermarket, especially Filipino food. I am a Filipino chef and this day I needed specific food that every Filipino restaurant serves. Pansit, pork, adobo, barbecue, chicken, skewers, and Shanghai lumpia. Of course they had these items, maybe it was too late in the day, however, if they followed, serve safe rules this food would've been OK. The pansit was spoiled you could smell it before you even picked up the box they were serving in. The chicken skewers were burnt, and still she offered to pack them up for me. Although the pork adobo was in the heating plate, you could tell it wasn't heated at the right temperature and there were only a few pieces and she was gonna pack it up as a full order. That's a no-no. By this time, I didn't even wanna ask about the lumpia. Somebody please check their food how dare them offer rancid, spoiled food. It's very comical because I look like your average white girl, but I'm actually quite fluent in Tagalog since my father was from the Philippines. It's easy to think that we don't understand what you're saying, but I understood everything.

It took forever for the line to move, that by the time I ordered mine and paid, I didn't feel like shopping for the groceries anymore, lol. Food prices seem decent. As a non Filipino, I wish they had labeled the food so I know what they are. Instead, I had to ask each time, what dish it was, which only added to the wait time for the line behind me. The workers were pretty nice though. They also gave decent amount of food. Once I got to try the food at home, they were all ok. Ukoy and lumpia could've been way better. The bbq skewers looked really good at the store but once eaten, they're mediocre and very saucy. The tamarind chicken was pretty good. Pancit malabon was acceptable. All in all it was pretty low priced so I can't really expect too much. Just know that the long line is probably more due to the price, but the flavor isn't really something to rave about.

Bonus is that this is part of the Asian grocery store, so if you think you can make it better, shop at the grocery for ingredients and make it at home. Plenty of parking on site.
