Easily the best ube latte croissant of my life—just look at that glorious amount of coffee cream filling!! I was so excited to check out this new-ish Filipino bakery in Downtown Jersey City. They have an incredible line-up of sweet and savory pastries inspired by classic Filipino flavors. Everything was soooo good that it was hard to pick a favorite! Their pastries sell out quickly, and the weekend line can get long. My pro tips: go early if there’s something specific you want, and check their stories for the daily menu and stock updates! ＊Ube Latte Croissant $8 This is their signature croissant, and it truly lives up to the hype! The lamination was beautiful and the layers were incredibly flaky. The ube white chocolate ganache gave it such a strong ube flavor, and the coffee pastry cream was so rich I literally licked up the last bit. ＊Longanisa Sausage Roll$8 Longanisa tastes a lot like chorizo, but it’s sweeter and noticeably garlicky. The puff pastry had a lovely caramelized flavor that paired perfectly with it. I’d definitely get this again. ＊Beer Caramel Cake $8 I’m not usually a caramel girl, but the beer-infused caramel totally converted me! It tasted amazing with the whipped mascarpone and vanilla sponge. I just wish there was more raspberry jam for a more tangy flavor. ＊Kare Kare Croissant $11 Inspired by the traditional filipino stew kare-kare, this savory croissant was stuffed to the max!! The beef filling had rich peanut-y, coconut-y flavors, and the crushed peanuts added the perfect crunch. I know the price is steep, but it’s so well-crafted and filling that it really feels worth it.

I got invited by a friend to come to this bakery and it was phenomenal. The staff were amazingly kind and knowledgeable of the food and the bakery uses Filipino flavors in their pastry’s and desserts. I got a couple of items and they all were delicious. My favorite was the Longaniza Pastry, and the Ube Piaya. The longaniza was savory and sweet with a crispy dough. The Ube Piaya was sweet and chewy. Some other mentions which were just as good is the Kare Kare croissant, and the brownie. If you want some good Filipino inspired pastry and desserts come by this bakery.

Tried this bakery for the 1st time! Wonderful place. The calamansi cake is amazing esp the mascarpone and calamansi paste on top and the raspberry filling. Bought the monkey bread bc I like pandan stuff but it’s a bit too sweet and oily. Will come back to try the ube latte croissant and savory pastries in the future ??
