The Baker's Son is a cozy little Filipino bakery that always delivers. The moment you step in, you're greeted by the smell of freshly baked goods--it's impossible not to love it here.
Their empanadas are my personal favorite. The crust is flaky and golden, with a perfectly seasoned filling that's just the right balance of savory and satisfying. Definitely a must-try. Their sweets are always on point too, with lots of variety to satisfy any craving. Ube lovers will be in heaven since it's their specialty, and they really lean into it with breads, desserts, and more.
They also offer boba and halo-halo, though I haven't tried them yet. A friend mentioned the halo-halo is on the sweeter side, so if you've got a sweet tooth, it might be worth checking out. For convenience, they sell some frozen items you can reheat at home, which is great for stocking up on your favorites.
The bakery itself is small and cozy, with limited space, so don't expect to hang out for long. It does get busy, and they seem a little understaffed at times, so patience is key. The staff is super friendly, though, and they work hard to keep up with the crowds.
Prices are a bit on the premium side, but for the quality and the chance to support a mom-and-pop shop, it's absolutely worth it. I always make a point to stop by before heading to LA Fitness if I'm early enough--they're popular for a reason, so things sell out fast.
If you're looking for authentic Filipino baked goods with a warm, local vibe, The Baker's Son is a gem worth visiting.
