The Bay Area’s Newest Chick-Fil-A Restaurant Opens in San Jose - Eater SF

"Unbeknownst to many who simply fill up their car’s tank and take off, the National gas station on West Grant Line Road is home to ice cream and sweets shop Ellis Creamery, which happens to be one of the finest places to order Filipino delicacies in the area." - Paolo Bicchieri

It is very strange to find a filipino bakery at a gas station. They hand bake some amazing filipino pastries fresh out of the oven. They also sever filipino ice cream. You can fine them inside the gas station store located in the very back of the store next to the restrooms.

Although I have not been in their store yet, I've tried the pistacchio sansrival. A colleague had me try it. I also served 2 dozen sansrival mini cakes at a small gathering, and everyone liked it, including my husband, who is a food critic. The taste brings memories of home where a famous restaurant makes almost the same kind. Would love to have a taste of their other products!

My husband and I went there today for the first time. Very friendly gentleman at the counter was very helpful. Not sure if he was the owner. We tried the ube ensymada. It was very moist and delicious. Also had their chicken empanada. It was so good. Definitely will get it again. Cant wait to try their other items.

This place has unique ice cream flavors. We had Une, Pistachio, and ok lychee. All three were amazing. We also had Ensaymadas which were awesome.

Great spot for ice cream and sweets. Buko pandan and the sans rival are my faves. Good customer service. Hope it can have its own storefront soon!

True gem in Tracy! My friend introduced me to Ellis creamery! Little did I know that they sell all of my favourites! From silvanas, sansrival, ensaymada and empanada. And of course their home made ice cream! Silvanas. I love that it is individually packaged, it's thick and the sweetness is perfect. It's unlike others that hit or miss with the sweetness or milkiness of the silvanas. The meringue has the nice crunch. We had the cashew, ube and oreo and all of them are good! Ensaymada. The bread is cooked perfectly! I love the variety of flavours that they offer, I personally love the Pork Floss! Salted egg, green tea and dulce de leche are great options as well! I wish they had a store in LA! Pro tip! They make everything from scratch, so the demand is always high. There might be shortage in stock in their store but to get around with it, you can order ahead of time and reserve! Beat everyone else by ordering online!

As soon as we opened the doors, we were welcomed and comforted by the smells of freshly baked pandesal. Ooh-wee, we were excited. My cousin sampled the Durian ice cream. I only sniffed it. Smelled fine, and my cousin said it tasted good. But she ordered the Black Sesame ice cream instead. We shared chocolate and Macademia ice cream and the black sesame ice cream in my sister's car and noticed lots of customers going in. Looks like a popular place, not so hidden anymore! The chocolate macadamia ice cream wasn't too sweet, perfectly balanced, creamy, and our favorite. 10/10. Black sesame ice cream was an 8.5/10. I had the cheese ensaymada the next day, and it was still amazingly soft and yummy. I've tried many ensaymadas, and this was by far the best. I had been settling with dry ones! We ordered a half dozen of the ensaymadas and split them. Will return to try other flavors and empanadas as well. Service was excellent with warm, welcoming smiles.

We intentionally stopped by on our way to a concert in Modesto. Everything we ordered was so yummy. Favorites were Spanish bread, caramel ensaymada, ice cream, and empanadas. I got pistachio dessert, but it was a bit sweet for my taste though good. Pandesal was small, but really tasty. The young ladies who attended to us were super helpful and friendly.

Gas station shop, very interesting that a little bakery would be inside. It's was 11:33 AM on a Sunday and the line was pretty long. Bakery was pretty empty. About 7 people ahead of me. I came to try empanadas which were a 30 minutes wait. Ensaymadas which were already for another customer so pretty much sold out for the day. I didn't want to wait in the long line for Spanish rolls so decided to go down the street and try Starbread. I'll have to come back another time during a weekday.

Found out about this place from my aunt in Modesto because otherwise I would have never heard of it myself. It is a small Filipino bakery inside a National gas station in Tracy. They sell the most delicious ensaymadas that are so moist and sylvanas that are to die for! They have various flavors but my favorite ensaymadas are the ube and oreo and the pistachio sylvanas. We stopped by on our way back from SoCal so I knew we would arrive closer to closing so I called ahead around 2pm and I am glad I did because they only had 5 sylvanas total left. The girl working was so nice and accommodating that she reserved them for me even though we were still almost 3 hours away! If in the area, I highly recommend you stop by and try these delectables!

You know you're on Filipino turf when the customers in front of you are sassy Filipino aunties with one taking a phone call delving straight into loud gossip dramatics lol. They ordered a bunch of halo-halo drinks.....the drinks looked pretty hefty and if I didn't have to drive right after leaving here I would've most likely gotten one too (darn you 85+ degree weather!). Anyway, I visited here to pick up a 6" ube sans rival cake that I ordered online as well as to grab some ensaymadas. If you don't know what a sans rival cake is, it's a cake with thin meringue layers (they're crispy and chewy.....think of very flattened French macaron shells) covered in buttercream and chopped cashews. In general I'm not the ultimate fan of standard sans rival cakes because the buttercream typically used tastes like straight whipped butter (the polar opposite to super rich American buttercream, which I'm not a fond of either #picky). I love the meringue layers in the cake though and I was hoping that the cake being ube flavored would make it much better. In terms of the particular ube sans rival cake here, the meringue layers were amazing, but the ube taste was unfortunately very subtle. As for ensaymadas, I highly recommend pre-ordering them online because at the time that I visited (Sat afternoon) there were very slim pickings. I should've ordered these ahead of time with the cake but I was lucky in that I still got all of the flavors that I wanted to try. The ensaymadas were pretty good! Dinner-roll soft with zero staleness (Goldilocks, who??). I was caught off guard on the first bite since it was kinda strikingly salty from the cream but after quickly acclimating to the Filipino food palate I was fine lol. I was most surprised on the green tea one.....it wasn't typical green tea but actually legit real matcha! Bold earthy goodness. Overall definitely recommend checking this spot out for Filipino sweets. It's tucked inside the back corner of the National gas station food market and is right off of the 205 freeway!

This Filipino bakery cum ice cream store is in a gas station and it is a hidden gem. Ube ice cream is a unique flavor from this store and it is a must try ice cream in this store and the price is reasonable. I also had couple of bread rolls, it is 50 cents a piece and very fresh but I felt it had lot of yeast and it smelled yeast I am not sure if all Filipino breads have lot of yeast. Chicken empanada is really good, the chicken stuff inside tastes like a chicken pie it has lot of veggies with creamy texture. They are baked fresh every day and by the time I went there, only couple of them were left. There are couple of tables in the gas station to have the ice cream. The staff is very friendly and they suggested what to try as I went there for the first time and they deserve some tip. We should encourage these small businesses as they make everything fresh.

Ellis Creamery earns 5 stars every single time. Don't shy away from trying it because they're inside a convenience store. I promise they're amazing and my favorite hidden gem in all of tracy. My favorites: Pandan ice cream rocks--unique flavor from a tropical plant. Halo halo, which is shaved ice, fruits, jellies-- pairs AMAZING with their pandan ice cream! Ube cake with cheese--surprisingly perfect combo. It balances salty and sweet really well, and isn't overpoweringly sweet since the 'cupcake' part is bread. The macaron cakes are super flakey for a delightful, irresistible texture. Their Oreo and pistachio flavors are my favorites! I've attached a photo of the pistachio cake below. Their staff is incredibly friendly. Once, I wanted a pandan ice cream sample, and they brought me an entire cup! Countless positive experiences--I can't recommend them enough. A must-visit for dessert enthusiasts.

Ever since I saw the KQED story about this Filipino dessert spot/bakery, I've had my fair share of... almost everything! I'll start with their Pan de sal.  It's not the usual "by the bag" purchase that you would see at Valerios Bakery. These mini rolls you buy per piece and it's usually straight out of the oven.  I had to wait for these a few times before, and it's worth the short wait.  Get em while they're hot and fluffy! Their ensaymadas here are soft, fresh, not too sweet, and nicely packaged. Having different flavors like oreo, green tea, and dulce de leche are a plus and great for parties or gifts.  Just don't be alarmed that some toppings stick to the packaging. I use the packaging as a messy plate and do the wipe and bite technique. I'm a fan of their regular cheese, ube cheese, and salted egg.   It's been a while since I've had a good empanada. Here at Ellis, I found a GREAT empanada!  The chicken filling included a mix of carrots, peas, raisins and had a noticeable bell pepper-y taste. Breading is light, flaky, and buttery.  Again, these come out fresh from the oven.  Perfect for a snack or light lunch. Pairs well with a Coke!! I finally had their Pistachio Sansrival cake.  It's tall and pleasing to the eye.  I prefer the shallower sheets of this type of meringue layered buttercream cake.  Nevertheless, the taste was out of this world, with their version of French buttercream and nuttiness of the pistachio. Not too sweet, light and crisp.  Better when served lightly frozen.  Their Silvanas were also a treat for me.  These puck-sized treats mimicked the light and crispy texture, with that magical buttercream filling.   Creamery is in their name and they didn't disappoint in the ice cream department. Ube, pistachio, and sweet corn are my favorites... for now. Their halo halo dessert was just okay for me.  I guess I'm used to more ingredients to mix mix.  The Ube ice cream made this dessert. I was more impressed with their Buko Pandan with that vanilla-coconut-ty taste with little amount of jelly nuggets. A dynamite iced dessert, even during wintertime! When KQED says, "This Filipino gas station dessert shop is among Norcal's most delicious secrets," I'd have to agree.  Although, it's not really a secret anymore. Can't wait to get me some fresh-out-of-the-oven goods this week!

I heard abut Ellis Creamery awhile ago but I hadn't been out towards Tracy because it is about a 45 minute drive. I had gone out to Manteca from the Bay Area to grab some pies and decided to stop at Ellis on the way home. They are located inside a gas station right off of the Grant Line exit. My wife loves a good Halo Halo and the pictures looked really good. It's hard to find Halo Halo with fresh ingredients, mist use the bottle mix with ice cream. I wished I had taken a picture before I gave it to my wife. She said the ingredients were all flavorful individually but it was light on the other ingredients and predominantly Ube ice cream (the ice cream was excellent but overwhelmed the other ingredients so it was more like an Ube Shake). We aren't sure if they ran out of ingredients or if this is how they make the Halo Halo. She gives it 3.5 stars and if the portioning was more evenly distributed probably a higher rating. They has make fresh baked star bread and pan de sal which smelled great baking in the oven. I got my wife an Ube ensamada with cheese. My wife said it was fresh, nice texture and great flavor. The haves other flavors too but Ube is a classic. When we have other things to do out towards Tracy or west of there, we will definitely stop by and give the Halo Halo another try.

I ordered Spanish bread and kind of disappointed coz it doesn't have any filling. It tasted like pandesal. Cashews silvanas are bomb! A reason for me to go back one day. The lady is not very friendly Opposite of the guy who's all smiles to the costumers

First time trying their goodies there! I'm so happy with the milkshake my husband brought me from Here - pistachio:) He got the strawberry banana gelato/ice ... I'm getting that next time! You can tell this spot takes pride of their dessert menu. I'll be coming here again next time with the kids and I on a hot summer day.

We got a scoop of the buko pandan and a scoop of the lavender berries. The scoops were huge, and both ice cream flavors were really good. I am definitely coming back to try the other items on the menu!

Heard about Ellis Creamery through a KQED article. It does a much better job of describing this place much better than I could ever: https://www.kqed.org/arts/13919707/ellis-creamery-filipino-ice-cream-bakery-halo-halo-gas-station-tracy The first obstacle to getting here is finding the darn place. As others mentioned, it's inside the National Gas Station. Going east down Grant Line Road, you'll want to turn right onto Toste Rd and then left into the gas station. I did more U-turns in 5 minutes than I care to say to get here. There are only a handful of parking spots in front, but there's quite a few more in back facing the Carl's Jr. Once you're in the gas station, it's all the way in the back and tucked into southwest corning of the building. Another Yelper mentioned "hidden treasure", but Ellis Creamery needs a pirate's map where X marks the spot. On to the food - I had no idea what to get - but a friendly gentleman staffing the counter helped me through the offerings. I wound up getting a halo-halo and some ensaymadas. Taking the halo-halo description straight from the KQED article - "The treat includes the usual shaved ice, ube ice cream, sweet kidney beans, coconut jelly and condensed milk--but, at Ellis Creamery, it also comes topped with crushed meringue, an ingredient that's used in their other products: Filipino cakes and cookies such as Sans Rivals and Silvanas." I didn't know what the meringue was, but I thought it tasted like powdered graham crackers before reading the description. Halo halo is a meal replacement as it is a 20 oz cup filled to the brim with different goodies. I'm convinced it is what inspired Willy Wonka's craziness. Ensaymadas remind me of Hawaiian rolls except bigger, fluffier, and fresher. I got an oreo and a dulce de leche, but you could throw anything onto that base and it's going to taste good. If you're in or around Tracy, this is a spot definitely worth finding and stopping for.

Such a delightful find! This is a Filipino Dessert Shop mentioned in NorCal's Most Delicious Secrets. Ellis Creamery is located inside the National gas station in Tracy, California. It is open Tuesday-Saturday from 9am to 7 pm, and Sunday from noon to 5pm. 2420 W Grant Line Rd. Tracy, California

Finally, I was able to check this place out. They are located at the gas station across the street from Black Bear Diner. I've been wanting to try their halo-halo, but they didn't have all the mixed ingredients available. I asked for their chicken empanada, but it was still baking and won't be available for another 10 mins. This was almost 12:30pm and they opened at 12 noon. I just picked some ensaymada to try. Their salted egg ensaymada is a must try! The ube, not so much. The bread was kinda dry. Great customer service. Call in first if you want to try certain things because it might be available.

I have been wanting to try the ice cream here mainly because I wanted to try a boozy one but when I was finally able to come by they are no longer selling them because someone complained about the alcohol amount. They already gave their formula and now they have to try and send it in again for it to be approved....so my stars will be 5 stars once I get to try the booze ice cream. They were nice and let us try flavors. I like the different choices they have. They halo halo was not what I was expecting which was just ice cream and no shaved ice which threw me off. I wouldn't recommend it but the other treats and flavored ice cream yes. To find the location just know your going into a gas station and inside toward the back they will be.

Stockton appointment called for a sweet stop. This place is def hidden and good. Give it a try if you're in the area! I'm a huge fan of green tea ice cream and this one's a bit sweet but still good and yummy! Place is in gas station next to Big Bear Diner so no problem in parking.

The best in everything hot or cold or in between yr palette I had the best Durian ice cream in this place and will definitely try everything on the menu next time. I had some hot pandesal to go and even if you toast them again, it remains tasty fresh baked like the first time ensaymadas are soft, melt in yr mouth buttery cheesy goodness, that's just right for me. I think I can eat everything from this wonderful humble bakery and creamery worth the long drive, just be patient sometimes there's a line and everything is made/baked with love so its worth the wait!

Good food...poor service. Not unless you have prepaid for your order, expect your order to have missing items when you pick up. We have pre-ordered two different occasions, two days in advance. And on both orders were missing items. Either it was overlooked or it was given away. They almost given away our esaimadas away while we were picking up our order.

We stopped by here this afternoon because we are craving for Ube ice cream and their cup cakes but they don't have ube ice cream and the cup cakes still in the oven and we are told to wait an hour. I guess we are out of luck. If you want customers to comeback make sure you plenty of supplies.

Went here today and to try their empanada and Sylvanians but both were sold out. However, I tried their pandesal, halo halo and enseymada. Pandesal we're good buy pricey $0.50 each. Enseymada we're $18 for 6 mini pcs. The Ube enseymada did not taste like Ube at all and no Ube filling just Ube flavored grated cheese mixed with regular grated cheese. It was good but I was expecting an Ube filling inside. For the Ube ice cream halo halo, it was overly sweet for my taste. Not sure I want to go back there.

Oh my God the desserts here. I should state that this is my introduction to all Filipino desserts in general, but the silvana I just ate just shot above Tiramisu and Creme Brulee as my all-time favorite desserts EVER. I have loved their ice cream for years, since the previous owners had a booth at the farmers market during the pandemic. The boozy ice cream lured me in, but the regular ice cream is the creamiest, the subtlest, and the richest ice cream ever. I love the more uncommon (to the US) flavors, and especially the pistachio. But holy mackerel the desserts! The woman working today was super kind and walked me through what all they had in the oven and in the case, as I'm unfamiliar with all of it and still don't really understand why dinner rolls are topped with sweet (or savory?) frosting. But what I DO know is that the hot from the oven Spanish Roll she let me sample is better than any Texas Roadhouse hot roll with honey butter, and man is that saying something. Finally, I think I've worked out that it's like donuts. Yeah, they are yeasty fluffy dinner rolls, but most are sweet and they are a destination. The pandesal tasted like your average dinner roll to have with turkey dinner. The enseymada had a nice flavor, a bit chewy and toothy, I suppose not unlike a mochi donut. The green tea frosting was great. I've decided that the frosting here is possibly the best ever, like EVER, and probably anything that they frost is going to be incredible. Back to that silvana - it's rolled in crushed pistachios, with a layer of amazing buttercream in the middle, and sandwiched between two incredible merengue-like cookies. Wow. Just wow. I can see why NPR wrote this place up, I only hope that it doesn't get so popular that I can't order the giant version of the silvana, the Sans Rival cake, for Thanksgiving. And probably Christmas. And probably New Years. Oh finally, yes its tucked in the far back of a rugged gas station. So what, keep it hidden, keep it small, keep it amazing.

This place is a hidden gem located in a gas station in Tracy, CA. I came on a Saturday right when they opened up at 12 pm and I'm glad that I came early because a long line was starting to form. I got a 8 different flavored ensaymadas and a pistachio sans rival cake. I really wanted to try their green tea flavored ensaymada and Ube sans rival, but they didn't have any on the day I went. However, I did try their ube and Oreo ensaymadas which were both so good. The ensaymadas weren't dry and had just the right amount of cream/filling. The pistachio sans rival was nice and crisp, light, and each layer had the perfect amount of pistachios and buttercream filling/meringue. It was nicely sweet and I enjoyed each bite. It melts in your mouth. I'm happy that I discovered this place and I would definitely come back to try other baked goods and dessert items!

I'm not always thrilled to live in Tracy, but this place is one of the reasons why I feel so blessed to live here!! I kid you not that this week I have ordered three Sansrival cakes for holiday parties and they are ALWAYS a hit. It's always everyone's favorite dessert at every party and they always ask what bakery I get it from. You know the bakery is legendary when the reviews are THIS good and it's located in a gas station. The service from this family-owned business is phenomenal and they're so kind and accommodating. If you haven't tried it, definitely try it and you'll see why they're so acclaimed!

Yummy! Best sans rival ever. Ever. Original cashew is the best! Tried the Ube and pistachio which were good, but doesn't beat the original. Order ahead 2 days online if you want a big cake. The layers are thick, creamy and crunchy! Enseymada was bomb! Tastes like my mamas which is awesome. Have to go back to try the rest.

What a great find! I'm so happy to have found a Filipino bakery in the area. It's located INSIDE a gas station, but don't let that fool you. It's like walking into a classic Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives episode because it's such a hidden gem. It's a no frills type of place and you just head over to the counter to place your order. They sell Pinoy-inspired ice cream and baked goods here. They are most known for their ensaymadas. There are a ton of flavors (cheese, oreo, matcha, Ube, pork floss, dulce de leche, salted egg) and the ensaymadas are so soft and airy. They also sell pandesal, empanadas, silvanas, halo halo, and various shakes. If you're celebrating, you can order a sans rival cake from them (they have the original cashew flavor, pistachio, 1/2 cashew + 1/2 pistachio, Ube, matcha flavors) and they are extremely light and crispy (signs that tell you they are made fresh for pick up). They do get busy, especially on the weekends so sometimes you'll have to wait for a fresh batch of baked good to come out. I wish I took pictures of the sans rival I ordered and of the ensaymadas but everything was consumed by my family the second everything was taken out of the bag. Definitely a worth while place to check out!

Dynaton T.

Yelp
Amazing desserts. The ensymadas were extremely soft. There's a wide variety of flavors too. Oreo cookies, salted egg, dulce de Leche, ube, parmesan, just to name a few. My favorite was the oreo. We also got to try their empanadas. They had a crispy crust/ shell but still soft on the inside. Stuffed with chicken and veggies. The empanadas were petty big in size. I must say, it was one of the best empanadas I've had in awhile. This shop is located inside a gas station towards the back. Definitely should check out this place if you're in the area.

The best halo halo I've had in years! Was on a girls day out when we decided to try this place. One of my friends saw the halo halo flash on the screen and that was it. One for all and all for one! Another road trip here in the future.

It's so yummy . It's a bit of a delicacy for me due to the price but it's a small family owned business and everything is home-made & made fresh. Will keep coming back for that ube ice cream!

A local business in Tracy selling Filipino baked goods, ice cream, and Italian ice. Inside a 76 gas station, but definitely worth a try. Their Halo-halo is good and unique. I've heard good things about the Ensaymadas, but didn't get a chance to try them yet.

This place was recommended by a friend and we tried it for the first time. Ordered the ube; green tea; salted egg; and dulce de leche ensaymada plus a 6 inches cashew and pistachio sans rival. The sans rival was the bomb, the best ever! The ensaymadas were not too sweet, the bread so tender and moist and packing with taste. We will definitely go back here again and again

I tried their original cashew sansrival brought by our family friend during dinner. I told myself I need to check it out myself. Tucked inside a gasoline store. I pre ordered so I was able to get what I want which was the combination of pistachio/cashew sansrival. Price for the food quality and size , ....worth it!!! It was a hit. All of our non-Filipino friends who tried it asked where they can get it and of course, good word about this place was spread thereafter. I need to try their other goodies

A Filipino bakery / dessert shop hidden in a gas station in Tracy! I'm so glad I checked it out after I heard the KQED story about this place (https://www.kqed.org/arts/13919707/ellis-creamery-filipino-ice-cream-bakery-halo-halo-gas-station-tracy). I came here for the halo halo but have since tried the ube ice cream, the pan de sal and the ube ensaymada. They're all delicious. My parents, who are big fans of Hawaiian rolls, thought the pan de sal was better than any Hawaiian roll they've had. This is definitely worth visiting if you're in this area!

Hidden treasure of Tracy?? Like "OMG"!!! Ive hit the Jackpot!! Located inside of a 76 gas station?? What??? On and they also have sweet delicious pastries so be sure to get a taste of that 100%... I was actually recommended here by my sister in law.. She told me to go give this place a try because they are pretty good and boy is she right.. lolz! This place is goOoOood!! Anyhow we got a 1/2 dozen of Ensymadas to try, a Halo-Halo Ice cream and 2 Silvanas. They were all fantastic. The sweet is there, but not too sweet.. "It's just right". It's just the way I like it. The texture of the Ube ice cream though is what got me. All Ice Creams are home made by the way. Below are the pictures... Sorry about the Halo-Halo being 1/4 empty.. My wife and I shared and boy I wish I ordered 2. I couldnt help myself eating it on the way home(only 2 min away from home). Please try this place. People here are friendly!

The stuff there is good just not the service, 2 weeks ago a lady with glasses and piercings is super rude. I told her if we can get an order of Spanish rolls and she rolled her eyes at me and I don't know what she was saying under her breath but yeah, I thought she was having a bad day so I just let it be. UNTIL, I went there again and there was nobody in line and I wait for her for 5 minutes, what pissed me more off was her being rude and rolling her eyes AGAIN!!

Food is above average. Service is below average. Ambiance is average. We drove 50mi since we saw that thiey sell Filipino food. We got there pretty undecided so my wife asked the young lady for some help since it was our 1st time. There was simply no reaction from her just stared at us. We decided to get a dozen ensaymada and a few empanada. We added to the order a 6inch sans rival since it's our favorite. Young lady told it wasn't available. So we told her we just going to get the 9inches half cashew and half pistachio I think. She informed it is not available also. S9 I asked her is this cashew available she said "NO". She told us sans rival is for order only, so I asked her are these reserved? She said "No! They are fakes". Well if she has told earlier that sans rivals are "Order Only' and the ones on display are fakes we could have stopped right there and no need foe her to look anniyed at us. We expected more on the Filipino Vibes, feeling a bit of home hospitality. The above average food could have tasted better and the average ambiance could have been a great wondeful experience and make travel worthy. But because of an aweful service it leaves a bad taste making the food mediocre. Not worth the travel! Rather we travel to Sweet Cravings in Hercules, Ca. Great food and Great service!
