I first got introduced to Red Ribbon because I work in a hospital. IYKYK! There is never a party or potluck where we don't have something from Red Ribbon. Red Ribbon Bakeshop is a well known, Filipino bakery chain. This location is located in a shopping strip shared with other Filipino food chains. Since parking is shared with other restaurants, it can get busy at peak times like on weekends. Inside, this place is small. There are a few little tables off to one side, but if a couple of customers come in, you will have people all up in your personal space while trying to eat. Off to the other side you have your dessert display, along with a section of prepackaged baked goods as well. Customer service here on my few visits has always been pretty no nonsense, straight business. Do not expect any pleasantries or suggestions. I'm sure they will answer questions if asked.
I have only had sweet items from here. They have different flavored round cakes and rolls. They are mostly of the chocolate and fruity variety. One of the favorites here is the Ube cakes. What is Ube you ask? It is a purple yam that they make lots of desserts out of. I personally prefer it over a traditional sweet potato. I've had the ube cakes, lemon rolls, mango rolls and chocolate rolls. In my opinion, they all have great flavor, but they have always been on the dry side to me. People love it when I bring it to gatherings though. They also have savory items like empanadas, pancit and soups. I have yet to try it, but I hear mixed reviews on them. If you are thirsty, they have different types of lattes and halo-halo. I have purchased some of the pre-packaged baked goods and they pair well with a cup of coffee.
Overall, I find myself coming back here because people tend to like it when I bring it to gatherings. It's not to my personal liking so much, but it gets the job done.
