Stopped by here while I'm the medical area. Had never been to a Filipino bakery so this was fun and delicious! Many pastries are ube flavored - I tried an Ube white chocolate chip cookie, pistachio/Ube croissant, flan, and a pork adobo bread. Everything I tried was tasty. The cookie was nice and soft, and the Ube flavor came through. The croissant was tasty, a bit sweet for my taste though. It was also not particularly flakey, so I would skip on this next time. The flan was delicious as was the meat filled bread. Overall I'd absolutely come back for other treats in the future!

Unique underrated bakery that you should be careful visiting. I wanted one thing - I got 8. I so far have only eaten the ube cookie and the almond croissant. The ube cookie was soft, a bit too sweet for my taste but it's a cookie so I don't know if that is a reasonable complain. I would say I would have liked a bit more ube flavor but ube is a hard favor to really make stand out. The almond croissant was perfect. The almond paste was just the right amount and the croissant flakey on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I'm both happy and sad I shared it. Coming here too often is dangerous for me but I love it and want to try the savory options next time.

Good Filipino bakery with lots of options. I asked some questions and the lady didn't really help unfortunately but other than that, everything was good. They have lots of options to choose from. I saw some flies in some of the food so I avoided that part. Definitely check this place out for Filipino snacks!

Good selection of Filipino pastries. Their mocha roll cake and Bibingka are must try!

My mother and I were visiting family in Houston and decided to stop here for a quick breakfast and coffee since it was near our hotel. Hands down one of the best Filipino bakeries I've been to! Huge variety of baked goods with a great mixture of sweet and savory options. Everything we tried was delicious. For the siopao, you can even heat it up for a few seconds in the microwave. We loved the place so much that we came back for a second time and bought a bunch of goodies to take home as pasalubong. Highly recommend coming here. The space was huge but strangely had limited seating so it's more of a take out spot.

Freshly prepared desserts

I have to put myself on a budget before I walk into this bakery. I'm so tempted to buy everything! Their shop is well lit with bakery shelves are lined with colorful Philippino desserts and food. If you have questions, ask the staff because they're all very friendly and helpful. I dropped in on Sunday and was delighted to find hot food such as pork asado siopao, palabok, arroz caldo, and so much more. The siopao was so soft and fluffy, felt like pillows and tasted delicious. I should've bought more, great for breakfast and snacking. This was my first time trying palabok and I loved it with the squeeze of lime. The arroz caldo was thicker than I'm used to so I had to add a little bit of water to thin out the soup. Otherwise, it tastes great as well. I loaded up on desserts such as the fried turon, Suman Cassava Ube, and Suman Malagkit. All were great snacking but my favorite is the halo halo - must try. I've tried their choco Milo coffee drink (hot) and find it to be overly sweet, even when asked for less sweet. There is plenty of parking spaces, easy to stop by to grab and go. There are a few seats available to dine-in. Prices are very reasonable.

Good place to get Filipino bakery items in Sugarland! They have a huge menu of unique items that were all delicious! Good service, highly recommend and would come back!

I'd come to the Baker's Son a couple years ago and remember it being just ok but decided to give it another try. The Baker's Son has two locations in Houston now with the same owners. I had high hopes for both this month but was ultimately left disappointed. The Sugarland location closed for a while due to a fire, and they made no mention/posts of it on any of their social media which was frustrating as I drove all the way there for some pastries and drinks from their coffee shop. I made my way to this location another day to try their Dubai chocolate croissant and Ube pistachio croissant. Neither had much pistachio flavor and the kunafe in the Dubai chocolate croissant was very hard. They did give a good amount of filling in the Dubai croissant though. The pistachio ube croissant was very colorful but also lacked any flavor besides sweet. I also wanted some Pandan flavored items that I had seen on the website, but there were none out in the bakery and when I asked the employees said that they don't carry those items anymore. The website should be updated to reflect this. I did see a Pandan drink on the menu here, but they said they had no non dairy options which was again a let down. A couple years ago I had tried a few different items - a kakanin sampler (variety of desserts, all of which were okay), biko sm (very very sweet sticky rice), and pandan macapuno tart (kind of like a shortbread cookie with coconut filling? Tasted okay but didn't have a strong pandan flavor). Parking was easy as they have a small parking or right outside. Service was fast, and the ambience is casual with a small area now to enjoy your baked goods.

This was a complete hidden gem in the Houston community!! I told my friend I loved ube and he delivered! They had so many amazing treats at great prices. My favorites were the ube roll cake and the ube cream bread.

Came here for the pandesal, but stayed for the incredible variety of Filipino desserts! I grew up loving freshly baked pandesal that my aunt would buy me from the local neighborhood bakery in Manila. When I was back in the States, it was impossible for me to find pandesal even half as good as what I was used to until I had some from Valerio's bakeshop in LA. They don't have any Houston locations, so when I moved back here I felt sad knowing I wouldn't have regular access to freshly baked pandesal anymore. Then I was so excited to hear that the Valerio family was opening this new bakery, with a location here in Houston! I was initially bummed to find that they don't serve freshly baked pandesal the way I'd come to expect from Valerio's (they are baked to sell packaged, not fresh at the counter), but instead, I was amazed by the sheer variety of baked goods they offered, both traditional and modern. Most of their goods are pre-packaged except for the center display and the front counter, where it looks like they sell more freshly made items. I especially enjoyed browsing the center display which was filled with croissants, cookies, and ensaymadas, ranging in flavors from traditional plain to adventurous/trending flavors like ube-pistachio. It's a bit of a contrast compared to Valerio's, which to my memory sold mostly traditional Filipino baked goods. The interior is very spacious. There are a few seating areas off to the side but it's not really designed to sit and stay awhile. Parking lot is large and shares space with other Filipino/Fil-Am businesses like Jollibee and Max's Restaurant. Everything I've tried here so far has been super delicious with beautiful textures, even after taking them home and eating them a few days old. I highly recommend the pistachio-ube croissant, Biscoff ensaymada, and Korean cream cheese garlic bread. They also have a large cafe drinks menu which I didn't have the gastrointestinal real estate to try at the time, but really hope I can soon! Ambiance: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5

Dubai Croissant
Virna L.

Review on the "Dubai Croissant" is refreshing but on the heavy side. The chocolate was well distributed, the pistachio were just not crunchy, solely because I waited a few hours before I ate them and got the pre-packed as opposed to the ones they have displayed on their glass counters. So, having them later may change the consistency of the pistachios. The filling was really heavy so, having half is sufficient for me and may be for others. Four and a half stars for the Dubai croissant. Will try the other flavors for next time.

Angela K.

Amazing selection with great prices!! I got the ube coffee cake. Best coffee cake I have ever tried. The purple is so vibrant. THE CAKE WAS SOOOOOO MOIST AND IT WASN'T OVERLY SWEET. The crumble on top was too good. Pair it with a cup of coffee in the morning... literally can't ask for more than that. The inside is relatively big with shelves all around full of pastries. The employees are friendly!!

Ask the Community - The Baker's Son by Valerio's

Is this bakery the same as Valerio's Tropical Bakeshop in Concord, CA and is this bakery in Houston freshly baked locally in Houston?

It's similar but not the same. They do carry the different varieties of Pan De Sals and Siopaos. However, the Baker's Son has a wider variety of traditional items and more freshly baked items in general. This Houston location is better than any of… 

Are there any vegan options? :)

Biko is made from sweet/glutinous rice, brown sugar, and coconut milk. Sapin-sapin is sweet/glutinous rice flour, coconut milk, and sugar. Those are a few items I can think of.

I tried an acai bowl my first visit, and a smoothie and a cookie on my second. Yaahhh, the cookie wasn't the healthiest choice, but it was good. Although I ordered a salted chocolate chip cookie, the cookie I received tasted more like a salted gingerbread cookie with chocolate chips. I love gingerbread, so for me, this made the perfect pairing. On the other hand, if gingerbread is not for you, don't order this cookie. Unable to decide among the juice and smoothies, I was blessed to have the input of an enthusiastic team member. In the end I went with the strawberry mint, sweetened with monk fruit, with added protein. It was backed with flavor. I'm usually a green juice girl, so I already have a reason to return. Although I wish I lived closer, I'm excited to return to try a new treat.

Before I arrived, I didn't realize they were located inside of L.A. Fitness so finding it was a little confusing. There's a parking garage where L.A. Fitness will validate your ticket so you don't have to pay. The parking garage also serves several other businesses so it may take you a little trial and error to find the entrance to L.A. Fitness. Part of the reason I stopped by is that I saw they have a Yelp Deal. After buying the voucher and trying to use it, I was told that the previous owner created the deal so they were unaware of it. Luckily, they were still willing to honor it. I'm not sure if they've taken the deal down, but if they haven't, here's your heads-up. Since the Yelp deal is for a good deal of money, I ended up ordering quite a bit. They have a combo deal where you can get a sandwich and a smoothie. I got four different smoothies and four sandwiches. For each smoothie, I added an add-in for an additional charge. That got me to the value I needed for the Yelp deal. Lunch for all week! They have a couple of tables if you'd like to eat there but it's more of a grab-and-go spot. The sandwiches are paninis and they were good and used healthy ingredients. They have a grilled cheese option, chicken pesto sandwich, etc. A lot of their sandwiches have spinach. You can easily make a comparable sandwich at home but you do have the convenience factor here, especially if you work out at the gym. The smoothies were also good but nothing to write home about. All-in-all, a convenient and solid addition to L.A. Fitness. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here if you're not a member of the gym, but if you are, I'd take advantage.

They closed the location at my LA fitness unfortunately, however, this is an amazing smoothie bar!!…read moreI did get a chance to visit this location and the service and smoothies were still up to par!! Keep up the good work you guys!!!

The West U area already lacked a proper bubble tea option, making its arrival that much more satisfying. Sadly, during the heat of summer just after their second anniversary, it abruptly closed. While the shop was small, they still had a number of tables for small groups and solo action. Given the tables were completely translucent glass, the plain acoustic tile ceilings with florescent lighting and very standard bathroom sign made the place feel like an office more than a cafe. The bright orange logo side wall was a nice touch, but still presented a contrasting vibe that was hard to shake. The drinks did not fare much better, but were at least consistent. The roasted oolong milk tea and slushes were always the go-to and the swirls and fruit teas were the ones to avoid. The food was a bit all over the place, from "cubie breads" to mochi donuts and fries. They worked as easy snacks on the go, but never overshadowed the drinks. Customer service was always a crapshoot, thus like many bubble tea cafes, the self-ordering kiosk was easy to consider. Prices were semi-reasonable given the neighborhood, which was a semi-win in itself. While I do hope for the best of this location, the one thing that still presents a challenge is the limited parking. Since it's a shared strip of only a couple of spots for each business, there is little street parking to compensate for the limited front side parking. For fans of the TSAOCAA brand and looking for a fix, the Katy store is the only remaining Houston-area location.

There's not a ton of boba competition in the West U area, but this spot is definitely top tier. Bonus: they offer rose tea, which is surprisingly hard to find outside of Chinatown. Definitely a go-to for quality boba!
