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!

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!

O M G.

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.

I ordered the potato taco which had a fabulous crunch and a perfectly delicious chipotle ( ? ) dipping sauce on the side. The taco itself wasn't very flavorful but I think it's perfectly fine because the sauce carries more than enough. I also ordered the vegan fried chicken and I was so intrigued by the flavor. They had a notable buttery taste to them which was rich and pleasant. I believe they were coated with a cornflake cereal which gave them a proper crunch. The hibiscus drink was a tad thicker than I expected and wished it had a more balanced flavor ( sweetness : tartness ), but it wasn't a bad drink by any means. Definitely one to drink cold. I let mine sit for a bit and I think that affected the tasting experience. & Service is genuinely chill which I respect and prefer. No need to perform.

Four other customers also had to get refunds because they were waiting forever for their food. I understand places can get busy, but waiting 90 minutes for food is just ridiculous. We basically wasted our time sitting there and left without getting what we ordered. Definitely wouldn't come back.

Phenomenal food, and I'm not even vegan!…read more I'm doing a no-meat fast for October, and finding food I really like has been challenging. This place blew me away. Everything tasted freshly prepared and arrived piping hot (no heat lamp!). Here's what we tried: * Olives, 9/10: I'm not a huge olive fan, but these were delicious, served hot with grilled bread. * Carciofi salad, 9/10: A lighter choice that still delivered on flavor. I'd love to try the Caesar next time. * Risotto, 10/10: Rich, flavorful, and full of garlic, with finely chopped mushrooms. * Gigli, 10/10: The standout for me! If we hadn't been at a vegan restaurant, I wouldn't have known it wasn't meat. I usually don't enjoy tofu or soy, but the seasoning was excellent without being overly salty. Highly recommend. My only question was about the "goat cheese." I wasn't sure what the vegan version was made from and would have liked a little clarification. The restaurant is small, clean, and quaint, with a casual atmosphere. There's a small free parking lot in the back, plus street parking. I honestly can't wait to go back after my fast is over!

Absolutely loved this space!…read more They have a small lot behind their building, otherwise there is street parking. Inside is a well decorated space showcasing their pizza oven and many flyers for the surrounding community. Service was amazing. Everyone is so kind and eager to assist. I got a marzipan latte with pistachio milk, I've never had pistachio milk before and was hesitant at first but delightfully surprised. I will have to come back to try the rest of the menu!

It was way too buttery and the pastrami did not taste like pastrami - texture and flavor were not similar. Their vegan pastrami also had a weird taste (maybe seitan?). Vietnamese Coffee - 1/5 Did not taste similar to the real thing. The mixture also did not dissolve well so I would skip this. Service was friendly, but the wait time for the food was quite long, even for drinks.

Plates, utensils or anything else you need, go get it yourself. BUT none of that really bothered us. It's a hole in the wall place, we weren't walking in expecting white tablecloths. The other odd thing was that place opens at 1pm (who opens at 1? most people are done with lunch by then and its too early for dinner). Anyways we got there right at open so we were the first ones in an empty restaurant. It still took an HOUR to get our food. One hour for the first and only order in the building. A few others came in a couple minutes behind us and they were still sitting there past the hour and half mark. There's slow and then there's this where slow loses its definition. Food was good but when you've been starving for a long time anything would taste good so take that for what its worth. Prices aren't cheap either, 14-16$ a dish, which is proper sit down restaurant money not a person running the truck type business place. I don't really blame the guy. He's the cook and the server and the cleanup all at once and you can tell he's putting effort into the food. But one person can't run a restaurant on his own and I'm not going back to wait another time to prove it.

It was really loud during our visit. I'm not sure if it's always that lively on Friday nights, but it was the weekend of Warped Tour, so there was a lot of music and energy. If you're looking for a quieter meal, this may not be the best night to visit. The food itself was good, but the wait was much longer than expected. We waited almost 40 minutes for our order. Unfortunately, my burger was also made incorrectly. I ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger but was served a different burger instead. Not quite sure what it was, but it had mushrooms and American cheese. Since we had already waited so long, I decided to just eat it rather than send it back. The burgers were flavorful, but they were smaller than I expected for the price, and they don't come with fries. To round out my meal, I ordered the poutine fries. They were decent. The fries were nice and crispy, which I appreciated. My husband ordered the Burger Don Chendo, and that ended up being the standout of the night. I usually don't like spicy food, but this burger had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but between the long wait, the incorrect order, and the portion size for the price, the experience was a bit hit-or-miss. I'd be willing to give them another try, especially for the Don Chendo burger, but I'm hoping for a smoother experience next time.

Came for the $3 Taco Tuesday night. Surprisingly not busy! Was worried about parking on the street…read morebut luckily we found a spot not too far of a walk away. They had sports playing on the TVs and the interior is pretty small. It's more of a casual vibe good for a chill night out. It kinda feels like a place where you order at the front and get takeout, but they have someone who will wait on your table if you choose to dine in. I came with a vegetarian friend and we had a fun time sampling the different taco meats and rating each. Here is my ranking: 1. Asada - I hate to be basic, but this was good for what it was. It tasted like they might have used mushroom meat, but this takes place as #1 for me because I think it could be a general crowd pleaser for any non-vegetarian. On the contrary, my vegetarian friend did not like it because she found it too dry. 2. Barbacoa - A very, very close second. The only reason it places behind asada is because asada is a classic. Barbacoa has good texture and I could eat a lot of these too. 3. Chorizo - This was the closest to tasting like its actual counterpart. I could eat a bunch of chorizo. Crumbly meat with lots of flavor. 4. Tinga - I'm not as familiar with tinga meat, but the pickled red onion that went with this taco gave it a savory taste. Good to try out but you're not missing out if you choose other flavors. 5. Chicken - Tasted like tofu meat? Not bad - I don't usually pick chicken for taco meat so this might be a personal preference choice. 6. Pastor - Sweet, but did not taste like pastor. Had a little trouble distinguishing between the pastor and the tinga at first, but came to the conclusion the pastor was the one with pineapple on it. I mostly prefer savory meats and while I don't mind the pineapple, the pastor I usually have is not sweet itself. If you like sweet meats, this might be worth getting. 7. Potato - Everybody can skip the potato. It's a fried potato taco, but the potato they use resembles a breakfast hash. The crispiness is nice, but the texture is flaky and the sauce doesn't save it. Even my vegetarian friend was let down by this one even though she had high hopes and usually likes potato tacos. Overall the server told us most of the taco meats were soybean based (not the pastor). I think the chorizo might be falafel, but that's a guess? Ended our meal with the Tres Leches as a dessert. Frosting is buttery and sweet (maybe a little too much frosting) but the cake goes super well with the milk. It sits in a soy milk bath which is a first for me. I wish they had added more soy milk! The menu is huge though. I was very tempted to try other stuff on the menu so I am very open to coming back and trying the breakfast platter (or getting more tacos again, yum).

The menu was vast but I ordered an indulgent chocolate crepe, as I was craving something sweet and light. The crepe had a lovely pillowy texture and was so heavenly, both the chocolate sauce and chocolate mousse were so rich and decadent and had me wanting more! I loved the freshness, sweetness and juiciness of the berries! The coconut whipped cream really took it over the top and added a nice airiness. Their crepes are must haves and I'm dying to try more of them! I will definitely be back soon to this location or one of their other conveniently located ones!

THIS REVIEW IS FOR HTUNS POP-UP INSIDE BLUE BIRD SUSHI TUESDAY MORNINGS THROUGHOUT OCTOBER! TLDR:…read moreGO WHILE YOU CAN! I am not a tea person, generally. I came to Blue Bird expecting to find Juu coffee, and happened upon HTUNS (the "H" is silent). After looking down at the menu taped to the counter and seeing only Matcha and Tea, I asked, "but you still have regular coffee, right?" They did not, in fact, have regular coffee. And it's a good thing, because otherwise I never would have discovered this delicious treat. I got a BBL for breakfast. What I found out immediately was Burmese Brewed Latte, I ordered the BBL with a salted vanilla cream top. When I asked what it was exactly they told me it was a brewed black tea sweetened with cream and sweetened condensed milk. So I immediately was like ooooh, kinda like vietnamese coffee meets milk tea? And they were like sorta. The best way I can describe it is kind of like an iced tea with a cream foam topper?? I don't drink a lot of boba, but it's not as sweet, which I prefer. You can really still taste the tea which is so, so good. The foam itself is very light, and not overly vanilla-flavored. Just enough to make it creamy, but truly let the tea stand out. I didn't taste the salt at first, and then I got a piece in a sip and it was like a delightful little pop of flavor. That only happened a couple of times, but was so yum, otherwise the salt was just there to mellow out the sweetness, like melty vanilla ice cream. I feel like I'm going to be thinking about this tea all week until they come back next Tuesday. HTUNS will be popping up inside Blue Bird Sushi every Tuesday morning the rest of this month. They also plan to bring in breakfast as soon as next month. She said it wouldn't be traditional American breakfast, and I said good, that's the point! I'm not sure I've ever truly had Burmese food, so this has me extremely excited. I googled what a traditional Burmese breakfast might look like, and wow I can't wait to see what menu they pull together for this. My mouth is watering already! I haven't traveled that far east, so I was curious about where Burma was exactly. The closest other countries surrounding it are China, India, and Thailand. Vietnam is not far away either. This is like all my favorite regions for food, so I'm so excited to have a new breakfast experience in the coming months.

We went back after a year (we don't eat out much, otherwise we'd be back here way more) and ordered…read morethe vegan bbq chicken pizza again as well as the vegan meat lovers pizza and the breadsticks. Just as good as last time. Again, the cheese on the pizza wasn't weird like vegan cheeses usually are for me. I placed the order on phone and went to pick up for a faster service. The price of their pizzas are great as well. Surprisingly, not all their pizzas are vegan, so might want to be careful with that.

I have had nothing but great experiences and good service here. I've been coming here for years,…read moreand patron this business. We always make a drive out here to get their food. By all means not here to sh*t on the business because we still want to come here to support them. However, last Saturday I believe was the 5/23/26, they had an event and an artist guest came and performed for the guests. It was nice, but it was also very packed in there with people out the door. We snuck through the back just to get in, people standing and blocking traffic because there was no room and space. We had to wait in a small crammed isle area towards the bathroom. It took awhile for our simple togo order to get done--which was also mistakenly given to someone else. They couldn't figure out simple logistics. There were also others who got wrong orders while we stood there waiting. They had to re-make people's pizzas while the pizza had to be given away for free because it had already been touched. My gripe is that in the future, if you're having an event, (maybe they do this here all the time), please have a floor manager to alleviate the crowd and simple operations and logistics to handle the lines, the crowd control, and providing fast and accurate service. Not just making the food right, but with time, and a comfortable environment. They could have made it more. It was so busy, that they either looked to be short-staffed or got confused on a lot of their orders. In short, in the future their manager should do better in operations and executing the the transactions to flow more smoothly. If you're having a guest performer, find a way to also make that work better. Maybe make people not block the pathways, more chairs or seating outside, have a bigger venue or open some areas to fit better..maybe they like this intimate atmosphere but it did not work for half of the guests there just trying to get in and out. This review is not to burn the spot but to encourage them do better in the future. This is just to help them understand and hopefully this helps to provide constructive feedback..because I know the owner here reads a lot of these comments..

Definitely more of a Thai fusion spot instead of an authentic Thai food spot but so good!…read more For appetizers we got the chicken satay and the pork jerky. The chicken satay was to be expected nothing special but it was good, the pork jerky was phenomenal I've never had it before and really enjoyed it! The mains we got pad see ewe beef and the nutty chicken. Both were delicious and had good flavor! I will say that the spice levels here are pretty mild we got medium spicy but it was more like a between mild and medium spicy so if you like spice definitely ask for it! Portion sizes are pretty good here, the two of us had leftovers to take home! Thai tea presentation is super cute and unique! Flavor wise it's nothing special but presentation wise it's super cute w the popsicle and everything! Service was pretty fast we came in on a Saturday and only had to wait maybe 15 min for a table? We ordered everything at once and it all came really fast (ie: before we were even halfway through the appetizers the main entrees showed up). Waiters were overall pretty nice and did check on us a few times. Nice casual ambiance. Music choice is kind of interesting they were playing kpop when we were there. Overall I could see this being a great place to meetup w friends, maybe a cute place for a date given how cute the Thai tea presentation is. There is a small parking lot which is surprising for this area of Long Beach but take note that on the weekend it might be full! Otherwise there's street parking in the surrounding area.

If you come for one dish, order the eggplant tofu ($16.95). It comes with fried tofu, eggplant,…read morebasil leaves, bell pepper and garlic. The dish itself isn't very saucy, but it's so good. The eggplant is cubed and stir fried which gives it a dense, thick texture. The tofu is perfectly crispy. Whatever sauce used is slightly sweet with tons of umami flavor. It's exceptionally good and it's the kind of dish that doesn't need any sort of meat. Ten. I also very much loved the spicy pad Thai ($16.95). We added the colossal prawns for like $7.00. The pad Thai was phenomenal - al dente noodles with just the right amount of spice, but the prawns were just a great additional to an already good dish. Come to Kin for a solid Thai food experience.
