Pinoy Bakeshop (Joy Joy's Bakery)

Lots of delicious options. Warm filled donuts, warm siopao. Cakes. Cinnamon rolls. Bread.

We came for the siopao but couldn’t resist grabbing malasadas, Spanish bread, chocolate cookies, fried banana lumpia, and even croc jibbets! 😋 I had the pork siopao (was secretly hoping for an egg inside 😂) but the pork was sweet and tasty, …

I've had my eye on this spot since they first opened as I love Filipino pastries and baked goods and knowing I don't have to go all the way to Red Ribbon is nice. When we entered on a Thursday afternoon, we were welcomed by two different female employees. We looked around and they still had a good amount of stock left for their baked goods, hot foods, and other snacks. Inside is definitely dim and very quiet, no music or TV playing to give it any ambiance. The staff seem friendly but also didn't really offer the most welcoming or warm presence that you would typically find in a Filipino establishment. The prices here seem fair and affordable, which was great as we were looking for a snack to hold us over until we had lunch. We ordered a pork siopao, chicken siopao, and an order of their pork shumai. Unfortunately, I don't think the cashier heard my boyfriend as we only got the pork siopao but he was to tired to correct her. She did try to sell us on turon a few times but my boyfriend isn't a fan of turon (I don't know why this is but he is Filipino and just tells me that he isn't a fan of a lot of Filipino desserts). We got in the car to eat our food. Our dogs were with us and were enticed by the smell as well, so that's a good sign as we complimented the smell too. I wish the food was kept just a bit hotter, but that's my minor gripe as I just don't like lukewarm foods. Now I will admit that the shumai is decent, but the sauce that comes with it is the star of the show. It has some spice while having this tangy umami kick that brought out the flavors of not only the shumai but also the siopao. My boyfriend and I were really impressed and tempted to go order more but we will definitely be back to get more of the hot foods and try some of the baked goods.

They have a variety of great baked goods. And they have the famous empanadas @

I spent some time in the Philippines in March.During that time I grew fond of Pandesal I found in Bulacan. A slightly sweet bun with a nice slightly chewy texture. It was served while warm with my breakfast. I was hoping to find that same …
