Be cautious of this store--it needs to be shut down. They knowingly serve spoiled food and show no concern. I have poor eyesight and didn't notice the mold in the food I purchased until I got home and tasted it. Please see the attached picture. read more

The Bake house - This picture was taken the same day I bought the food. - Bakeries Near Me - Glendale Heights, Illinois

I'm so glad to have found this spot. I haven't tried their hot food yet, but I'm excited. The lumpia and lechon was perfectly crispy and just delicious. I had an ube hopia and an ube sesame ball. I loved them, and I can't wait to try other pastries! read more

They sell breads that are old. I got butchi and after just one bite you can tell its old , not freshly baked anymore and has been sitting in the shelf for days. If only I can return it and get my money back, same with the adobo roll. Maybe they are good when its freshly baked but please stop selling old bread and pastries. The only really thing going for them is how good their banana turons are. read more

This is for the buffet. It's not the prettiest and the food looks a little wanting BUT and this is a good BUT there's a lot of selections and they taste Great! Don't let the looks fool you the Sisig may not be crispy but it taste way better than average same with the paksiw na Lechon. Special mention also to the Igado its excellent just the right amount of liver. The pork ceviche is also recommended. The desserts alone here is worth the price$11.95. They have sans rival, pianono, coffe cake/tiramisu, halo halo etc.. Come and patronize this place, so they can continue to give Filipino food options in the Glendale Hts area. read more

Bakehouse has the best Lechon kawali & empanadas I've ever had! The flaky crust of the empanadas & the flavor of the filling is excellent. I haven't tried anything else just yet, but I will definitely be back soon to sample some more. Highly recommended! read more

Just drove to Glendale Heights to Check out The Bake House. It is located in Jasmine Court next to an Oriental Grocer. Run by a family I tried a Chicken Empanada, Sesame Ball, Mango H, and Vegetable egg roll. Everything was delicious l! The best egg roll I have ever had! They also had pork egg rolls. Prices are very reasonable. They also have a steam table filled with all kinds of food. They charge $10.99 a plate. Open for lunch & dinner daily. They were very busy when I went there. Well worth the drive! read more

Taste is so Authentic. Pricey but all worth it.The only place i say so close to my mothers cuisine.

Very good Filipino buffet! All you can eat, Saturday and Sunday only. $8.99 includes appetizers (eggrolls, kikiam, bbq sticks), soup, rice (fried and white), hot entrees (lots of adobo - pork, chicken, squid, pork ribs) diniguan, pancit, kare kare, lots of desserts, and even 3 fruit based drinks. The buffet is fairly new, ever since the beauty shop next door closed. Hopefully enough people come to keep it open, but not too many that lines form or prices go up. This is definitely a hidden gem. read more

I actually came here for the hot lunch, but ended up getting a lot of random ube pastries, egg rolls, and empanadas. I've had bad experiences with baked empanadas at other bakeries being dried and crumbling instead of flaky. So when I took a bite of theirs, I was super happy to find that they were able to get that flakiness I love so much. Faith restored! The little cup of lumpia were about $5 a pop, so I opted in getting the big vegetable spring rolls. A little greasy, but tasty. The lechon/pork stew I ordered from their hot bar area tasted pretty good as well. My problem was that I hated the container it came in. It was just your typical styrofoam to-go container with one large compartment in the front and two smaller ones in the back. The big compartment was filled with rice. Then the woman who helped me filled only one of the tiny compartments of the pork stew entree. And when a piece of pork fell over onto the empty side, she just took it out of the box and placed it back in the hot bar. Come on, lady. Would it have killed you to have given me the pork? But because the pork stew had a lot of liquid and was only filled in one compartment, it spilled everywhere. The entire to-go box was wet and greasy by the time she placed the food in a bag and handed it to me. And when I walked the 10 steps to my car to eat it, all of the good juice was in the bag because it had leaked from the side of the container. Either place items like that on top of the rice or get a smaller container. Tip: You have to spend at least $12 for credit card. read more

This is a family owned bakery and eatery. The name may suggest this is a desserts only type of place, but they have a small dining area in the back where they serve traditional home-cooked Filipino lunch & dinner items. Don't expect anything fancy, just simply staples for a quick bite to eat. The bakery items I've tried so far have all been good. I've had the biko (a thick, dense rice pudding), swiss roll cakes (they have a variety of flavors to choose from, and many have fresh coconut slivers in the cream), ube bread (a sweetbread swirled with sweet purple potato yam), sapin (a tri-colored glutinous coconut gelatin - think of this as a dense sort of jello, but with natural flavors), and hopia with a sweet mung bean filling (this is similar to the Chinese mooncake with a super dense center covered in a buttery laminated pastry). They also sell an assortment of plain donuts and empanadas / meat-filled "baos" in the front. Everything was very well made and fairly priced. Individual desserts were $2-4 and the larger bread loafs and swiss rolls meant to be shared are $5-6. Nothing fancy, but solid homecooked goods that you can afford to eat every day. Many people come here to grab a bunch of sweets for family and friends get togethers. If you need an "Asian style" birthday cake, they have ready made cakes and can do special orders. These are as good as the ones served in fancier patisseries in Manhattan for a fraction of the cost - think Paris Baguette or Tous Les Jours sans decorations. The cake is super light and fluffy and the "icing" is a smooth whipped cream. If you don't like traditional birthday cakes or sugary icings, give this a try at your next special occasion! read more

This is a little bake shop that serves Filipino food. They have take out available from a selection of hot trays readily made. You can often get traditional savory Filipino food to go like adobo, fried fish, caldereta, menudo, mongo and many more dishes. They also have catering options. Often times available for same day requests. I usually order a tray of 100 "Filipino egg rolls." These are quite the favorite for my families Sunday dinner appetizer. The costs is much less than if anyone were to make them, at under $29, including tax. They also make Filipino birthday cakes like Ube and Sansrival. I believe that's how you spell it? There is not much of a place to sit, so take out and catering are the usual orders. Mabuhay! read more

Very good food!!! Although we had to wait for more than an hour, it was worth it. I was upset so I had to ask why we had to wait that long and understood that there are circumstances that is beyond control. Some of the staff had to take the day off for being sick. I admire that they still tried their best to provide the best although it was not enough, CHRISTMAS reminds us that its the love and selflessness and they put their staff health first than anything else. To the Bakehouse, they need to enhance their communication with the customers so we dont get upset for not getting the best service. Had we seen the apology earlier than it was posted, experience would have been better. A piece of advice, it would have been easier if they've had prioritize order pick up only that day and close the store for walk ins since they were under staff. This is my first time using yelp to write a constructive and humane criticism, not to bash or tell others to stay away from a business . Yelp should be use to guide public so businesses will improve to satisfy us, customers. Reviews are hopefully not written to ruin reputation or judge in general. Nobody's perfect. I recommend bakehouse for their best empanadas, egg rolls and Beef Calderata!!! read more

Had to squeeze in a visit to try their buffet on our last day in Chicago and are we ever glad we did! Guys!! I wish we could take this place back in Toronto with us. AYCE filipino food is unheard of, and its So. Good. You can tell it is all made with love. The people are so friendly. Highlights for us was the leche flan, igado, dinuguan, puto, arroz barley caldo and they had their Make Your Own HaloHalo! ‍ read more

The Bake house - Bakeries Near Me - Glendale Heights, Illinois

I'm from New York and always tried Filipino food when I travel. My friends brought me here in Bakehouse in Glendale Heights and It was a great weekend buffet. Reasonable price and a lot of choices of authentic Filipino cuisine. I'm from Nueva Ecija and It's like you are home when you eat here. (Kare2x, tinumis, lechon kawali, pinakbet, rellenong bangus, empanada, puto bumbong, turon, buko pie, and a lot more) Very friendly staff; Mang More, Jack and others, keep up the good work! read more

I've lamented how the immediate Western Burb's are devoid of Fresh Pandesal. I will stalk your Lola's house if she makes it from scratch. That's how much I love fresh Pandesal (the fresh, slightly sweet bread that I grew up having many Sunday mornings when I was a wee one in Chicago). I remember getting fresh pandesal from here years ago but then the bakery just went away. I heard rumors, I saw an empty storefront. But now, I guess someone is back making not only pandesal, but also lots of other fresh baked goods AND some take out foods like dinuguan, pancit and adobo. I also saw Brazo's de Mercedes in the cooler, some pork and chicken siopao, cucinta, sapin sapin and casava cake. Great stuff to get in a pinch if you don't feel like making it yourself. The mom and I got some lechon kawali--good pork, but the skin was too chewy. I also tried the corned beef hash pandesal--genius idea, but I prefer my corned beef hash overdone. The regular pedesal was good--soft, puffy, but I'd love to get the fresh out of the oven pandesal. We also tried the sesame balls--not the same as my favorite from Chinatown, but made with sweet white bean filling and still ok. On our way out, they had a basket of Manila mangoes for customers to take one for free--how sweet! Nice place, clean, tidy. Very reasonable prices (cheap!). I'll be back to try some other things for sure! read more

'Been a customer for as long as we have lived in Carol Stream (7 years). My husband loves the beef caldereta and the chicken empanada and the puto. My grown-up kids when they're home love to eat the bibingka, the cassava cake, hopia and the ginisang munggo- I have placed large orders through the Bakehouse when I had hosted parties at home and was always satisfied with the order/s. My husband and I have only been to the buffet twice- and have not gone back quite as much- because there was just too much to eat, and hard to pass up the selection of food available (we are both trying to control our diet!) I guess we can binge-eat once in a while. We will continue to patronize the Bakehouse because we are satisfied customers- Virginia A. C. Hess read more

Super yummy cheep empanada's $1.10 at the time of this post. Great stews in the Phillapino style at crazy good prices AND I guess it is a bakery too. MMM, GOOD. Gets my vote for a lazy take home dinner that even my 4 year old loves. Did I mention take out only. read more

I stopped by here after finding them on Yelp. I was looking for some filipino desserts or afternoon snacks to bring by for one of my nursing homes I go into as there are a lot of filipino staff there. Oh boy, it was definitely a big hit! I am not familiar with their items, but the owner gave me a free sample and it was delicious! He told me to tell them it was empanadas and Opia? Now everyone is asking me where I got those. Will be coming back. read more

I always stop here for filipino foods. Their food are all freshly cook. Alll the staff are well mannered and friendly. I tried kuya Jack's "SIOPAO" as he told me he's the one made it and it taste good. Got home and heat it thru microwave. INDEED! It taste good! Kuya Jack, thumbs up sa SIOPAO na gawa mo! read more

This is a good local filipino bakery. I'm rating this for my mom. She loves this place. This is where she gets her tray of pancit and calamari. Prices here are decent. The food is mostly filipino bake goods and "to-go" dishes like adobo, estupado, pancit, palabok...and other "ulam"(im not sure if I am saying it right..yeah i don't speak tagalog). They have good halo-halo too for a reasonable price. The owner and staff are also friendly. Great place to go to if you are looking for filipino food last minute. They do close early though...like 7pm. read more

We ordered Empanadas and they're really good. I found out about this place through a good friend. Were glad we passed by. Its going to be our new to-go place after Church. read more

They have a variety of filipino breads and pastries, not much ti choose from but they appear freshly made. They also offer Filipino dishes. Their sisig (crunchy diced pork with onions and ginger) the best compared to other Filipino stores'. Though the palabok noodles' sauce was bland. The store owners are friendly and personable. read more

My go to place for authentic Filipino dishes. Almost close to my mom's cooking. I haven't tried the buffet so I can't speak about it just yet. I love their turon, monggo bean soup, dinuguan, beef caldereta, lechon kawali, just everything!!! I am so glad I live close by. They do larger orders, too. Would definitely recommend the place. read more

This place is bogus ( magdadaya) they recyle the food even its old they still sell it. I just buy food there and its old. When i eat the adobo the pork has smell its like double death. read more

If i can give it a zero star i would! I ordered egg rolls for a potluck 2 days ahead. Asked if they're open at 10 and the lady said yes. Emphasized that i needed them by that time. So i got there take note it's a rainy morning. Like heavy rain. Its a hike going there too. I got there asked manong (older guy) for my order and he talked to the lady in their kitchen and heard the lady who i guess was the one i spoke with say "ai naku!" Then manong came out and said its not ready yet. Not even a piece of my egg roll is ready! Who does that?! I will never comeback to this place! I remember last yr i ordered chicken empanada and i got home and they gave me beef empanada instead. Its a hike so i didnt even bother to return it. So incompetent! Dont attempt to order for parties or you'll end up with nothing. Oh!!! I am just pissed. Sorry kabayan but its a boo booo for this store. read more

Terrible service. Waited almost an hour just to get to the counter and when it was my turn. The order that we placed was not there. Lady at the counter said they are unable to fulfill our order without any apologies provided. My advice, stay away from this place if you do not want to be disappointed. read more

Ive been buying bread from other filipino store and everythings good and freshly made. Thought about trying the bread here because of the good reviews, bought 2 packs of pan de coco and hopia. It tastes old and coconuts are too thick, wasted my money for 2 packs but wont go back again. Will stick in the store that i usually go to. read more

I'd come here every weekend if I could. The turon is . Also love the empanadas. The food is also delicious.

Somebody brought us some hopia, empanada & tupig here in Toronto. It's really good and very tasty. I can't wait to visit the place Bake House in Chicago. I love it read more

This is a great gem of a place. I have been to the Asian grocery on the other end of the strip mall, but never really noticed this place until a co-worker recommended them for great food. I have been in about once a week since and have not been disappointed at all! The Caldereta and Menudo are fantastic and the empanadas are incredible! read more

The Bake House is the absolute best in Filipino food! My wife and I come here at least once a week! Amazing owner and staff! If you want real traditional Filipino food you MUST stop by! read more

Good Filipino bakery. Randomly dropped in and it's not bad.

I love, love, love this place! Their dishes are on point, just the way it should be, the traditional way (not altered nor commercialized, and hindi tinipid ). You can tell they're cooked with a passion. They're always fresh and price is reasonable. The place is clean, the staff are very well mannered and friendly, and service is awesome. Oh and the desserts, baked goods and different kinds of kakanins are scrumptious! Which is what they are known for. Puto, kutsinta, pichi-pichi, sapin-sapin, puto bong-bong, ube cake, mocha cake, biko, sans rival and so much more! These are just a few of their signature ones. What amazes me is the consistency. Everything tastes the same as they did from more than 20 years ago or even better. They even kicked it up a notch by adding the buffet, with a wide a variety of authentic Filipino ulams, refreshments, and of course their famous desserts. I'm originally from Chicagoland then moved to SoCal. When I visited Chicago this year, this was my first stop . I sooo highly recommend this place. If you want real traditional authentic Filipino food, this is the perfect spot! You must stop by! P.S. Their Empanadas are to die for! read more

Was hoping to see more filipino baked goodies coming from Cali home of Valerio's. $3 for 8 pandesals.YIKES! Sorry wasn't impressed i'd rather buy the dinner rolls at Costco for $5 and you get way more than 8 pieces and they taste like pandesal. read more

Their food has been excellent everytime i have bought from here! Very tasty! Decent prices!

Food has improved greatly. Whenever we're in the mood for Filipino food this is the place!

I used to come to this store almost on a weekly basis for many years but noticed over the last year that they've gotten careless with how they handle their food. Last year, I found a strand of black hair in my order. Gross! I didn't come back until months later and guess what? I found another strand of black hair! Really?! I even posted a bad review on Yelp at the time and to my surprise I don't even see it listed anymore! Well, I decided it's been several months now. What are my chances of finding another strand of hair? I decided to chance it and see if they can redeem themselves. Well, the good news is that I didn't find any hair in my order. The bad news is that I got food poisoning instead! I'll no longer support this business. If you want Filipino to-go food that has better quality control, I'd recommend going to Lina's Filipino Marketplace in Bloomingdale instead. There, they wear hair nets and all their prepared food is behind glass, which is what this store should do to avoid contamination! read more

Last year we bought so many filipino food here and we came back in October 2014 all their food are so good. We went crazy about it so yummy. We bought a lot to bring home. I surely recommend this place to everyone read more

I found this bakery through a Yelp search and decided to stop in with my family for some empanadas. It was about 3pm and we must have missed the rush, because they were all out of empanadas. I suppose it was too close to closing time to make more for the day (it was Sunday, so shorter hours). I told the man behind the counter that we came there specifically for the empanadas, and without hesitation, he kindly told us that they would make as many as we wanted. Great customer service!! And the chicken empanadas were just as great! We also bought hopia with garlic, mongo, and ube. All very good, especially the garlic hopia. We will definitely go back very soon!! read more
