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've had homemade as well as from the Filipino restaurants around town. I've had Gerry's Grill catered at functions but I finally got the chance to check out their location in Chinatown. It is located right off the Beltway, tucked away in the back of a shopping strip. It can be easy to miss not only because it doesn't face the highway, but you gotta be aggressive getting into the parking lot if you're exiting from the highway. There is an entry point in the back which is what I would do next time I come here. Customer service was amazing. I've become accustomed to friendly, Filipino hospitality and it is no different here. The staff here make sure you leave happy. For my dining in experience, I came for my bestie's baby's baptism lunch. The staff did a great job catering to our party as well as guests dining in off to the side. Though we were in the main dining area, we still felt like we were in our own party. We had a buffet style set up in a glass enclosed room overlooking the main dining room. This was great as it gave me a chance to really check out stuff off their menu other then the usual pancit and lumpia that is always at every potluck at work. There was pancit, garlic rice, lumpia, lechon, adobo chicken, calamari, beef kaldereta, fried chicken, different veggies, and other dishes I didn't get the name of. The difference of eating it in house and not catered was night and day difference. It was delicious catered, but even better eating it hot and fresh. For dessert, we had banana lumpia. Delicious. Overall, Gerry's Grill in person was a big hit. Not only did we have great food, but you almost always will have someone on a mike singing some karaoke as well. I will definitely be back when the Filipino food craving hits.

The place is clean, and the staff is super friendly, though I'm pretty sure our server didn't realize I'm Filipino because she kept asking if we liked the dishes like we'd never had them before. It cracked me up lol! Most of our cravings were definitely satisfied. I was disappointed they don't serve sago with the gulaman anymore, and the crab fried rice didn't seem to have actual crab in it. I could smell it, but I couldn't see it. The pork BBQ sticks were huge and flavorful, while the inihaw na pusit was on the smaller side, but dipping it in their vinegar sauce made it extra good. My husband tried pork sisig for the first time, and the server explained it's best eaten while drinking, aka as a "pulutan" which again confirmed she didn't realize we're Filipino. The halo-halo was perfect for cooling off in this Texas heat, though I remember the serving being bigger when they first opened. Overall, a friendly spot with solid Filipino comfort food with a few misses, but still a great place when the cravings hit.

We arrived and honestly it wasn't really somewhere I would normally want to see, knowing I'm about to eat from this establishment; but hey, don't judge a book by its cover, right? They definitely need some external renovations though. NOW LETS TALK FOOD. They actually gave us 2 more Eggrolls than ordered which was really cool. The Eggrolls were actually good and the sauce that it came with was decent. The issue comes in when I get to the house and check to see that the pancit bihon has lo mein noodles in it, including PIECES OF CHICKEN. We're not sure if this is how they make their food, but we do not like this AT ALL. It also was lukewarm (not freshly cooked at all), and we don't even live that far. I feel it's lazy and unprofessional to order one thing and receive a mixture of others. It's really annoying and irritating to the point I'm not going to eat this. Additionally, it has NO FLAVOR. The meal is real INSIPID. AND they're closing in the next 7 minutes so I can't even return to get my $$ back. The prices are good though. I guess I got what I paid for. I would've appreciated paying $10 for the pancits and Eggrolls to get a delicious, hot and accurately prepared meal. My rating...TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK, I will not be ordering anything else from this place. It's unfortunate because we're big on loyalty to businesses that do us right and we like to spend money. However, first impressions are everything, and unfortunately they did not give us a good impression at all.

I really enjoyed my Bangsilog--the bangus tasted fresh, perfectly fried, crispy on the outside while still tender and juicy inside. Unfortunately, my cousin's tocino was disappointing. The tocino was tough and tasted like it may have been leftover from previous day and simply reheated. Either that or it has been sitting in the kitchen for quite awhile. We still finished our meals. Because we were starving, but it definitely affected the experience. It also made us miss Hazel's customer service even more because if she had been there, we're pretty sure she would've handled the situation right away. I waited a while before writing this review because I wanted to be as fair as possible. The lady who served us was still very good, although it was obvious that the overall customer service experience was not quite at the same level as when Hazel was around. The biggest issue was really the tocino. Because of that, this latest visit to TJ's wasn't perfect and honestly made us wonder if it's still worth making this one our go-to spot whenever we're in the Houston area.
