"Staff will help guide you through San & Wolves’ display case, which is filled with Filipino-flavored and plant-based treats, including ube pan de coco, cornbread bibingkas, and ube malasadas — a raised yeast doughnut filled with ube jam, prepared as a weekend specialty item. Owner Kym Estrada whips up a black sesame paste for her specialty black sesame buns. Most diners will never miss the butter or milk, and first-timers should always sit outside to take the first bite." - Eater Staff
"A compact, neighborhood bakery focusing on Filipino-flavored and plant-based baked goods executed with remarkable consistency; offerings include ube pan de coco, cornbread bibingkas, and weekend-only ube malasadas (raised doughnuts filled with ube jam). The black sesame bun—reminiscent of a cinnamon roll but filled with an intense black sesame paste—is a standout, and staff are helpful in guiding selections. Despite being made without butter or milk, the pastries feel rich and reliable; grab a cup of coffee and a few (at least four) items for a satisfying start or break to the day." - Eater Staff
"Starting as a Filipino bakery pop-up, San & Wolves owner Kym Estrada opened its first permanent location in early 2025. The bakery operates out of a charming Belmont Heights storefront (less than a mile away from the Pacific Ocean) where Estrada prepares airy pandesal, ube buns, and more classic Filipino sweets, all without dairy or eggs. Bright custom cakes, all vegan, can be ordered through its website for family gatherings and events." - Mona Holmes
"It’s always nice to see a pop-up find a permanent home, and this Filipino bakery now has one in Long Beach. Their vegan pandesal is baked fresh every hour, alongside treats like pan de coco filled with coconut, pandan cinnamon rolls, and ube crumb cups—all made without dairy or eggs. They’re also pouring coffee with beans sourced from Filipino farmers." - cathy park
