The selection of food here is fantastic. The staff is always so respectful and friendly. Service is outstanding and they offer a great selection of Filipino staples, fresh homemade foods, refrigerated and frozen foods, and authentic Filipino desserts. Some of my favorites are their Lechon (I buy it by the pound - can pre-order, too), Siopao (pork and chicken), cassava cake, Turon, Buchi, and so much more. The store is well organized and inviting. I love coming here and buying the ready-to-eat homemade foods that they offer daily. Just go! read more

Drove past this bakery on my home to Jacksonville and had to stop and give it a try. The customer service was AMAZING!! The kind person inside explained to me what a few baked items were and did it with a smile. Order some steamed buns ( 2 small ones and 2 bigger ones) and treats (they were as soft as angel food cake and tasted delicious) and was so pleased with all my treats. I now wish I lived closer. If you're in the area give this place a try! They have a ton of frozen desserts and grocery items in the shop as well. read more

Yummy food! I pre-ordered large pans of pancit and lumpia and they were very helpful on the phone and everything was hot and ready when I arrived read more

Food and service are awesome! This is such a great restaurant/store! You won't be able to stay away once you've tried them!

There's added additional parking that was MUCH needed. Additional parking is located next to the back side of the building. They also have a variety of frozen lumpia which is priced very reasonably. The frozen lumpia was the reason for my last visit here. Picked up a couple pork skewers when checking out that were quite pricey. At least it was tasty. The lumpia aren't rolled as tightly as the vendor that I get them from on the Northside, but this location is much closer to home. read more

It's not the best location for me but even with such a small foot print, that have a lot to offer. A freezer section has Filipino ice cream and other treats to take home - both sweet and savory. A small grocery section has some staples of pancit noodles, snacks, and canned goods. I think the big draw here for the locals is the hot bar which has some favorites for those that are accustomed to the offerings as well as the adventurous who are not familiar with the fare. They even have a small bakery section which just adds to the appeal. My only critique is they have a sign advertising halo halo which is an ice treat consisting of shave ice, condensed milk, and various toppings including ube ice cream - but it appears they haven't really offered it as an option in quite some time. read more

This is my go too on the weekend! Food is always authentic and fresh. Once they run out, they don't make anymore, so get there early!

Filipino store and a mini restaurant inside. They sell lots of Filipino grocery items from snacks, candies to noodles and spices. They also sell different types of egg rolls (beef, pork, etc) too. Inside they have also have Filipino food that are ready to eat. Food like adobo, pork barbecue, pansit, fried fish and egg rolls go name a few. Very busy during the weekends. read more

So happy! This place is the best filipino store in Jax. The bakery makes it even higher than Mike's Cell. Prices are extremely affordable. Baked siopao was $1.40 and small steamed ones were 90 cents. The flavors were chicken or beef. They also have squid jerky which is something more Americans should try. Don't smell it. Just eat it. They also sell lumpia. I think she said that there were 50 medium sized ones in the package. They serve lunch and I need to go back for it. I went right before they closed and was so happy with all the variety of choices. It's in a part of town that most people don't go to because they think that it is very unsafe but the store is all by itself and the parking lot is only for the store and I felt extremely safe going as a young female. read more

We headed down towards Orange Park and decided to check out A & D Manila Bakery. It's a cute little Filipino bakery, grocery, and bakery. I got a little snack while I was there: a pork Siopao. Ground pork wrapped in a fluffy steamed bun. Delicious! read more

A&D has been on my bucket list for a few years. I knew we needed to get there early but we were in the area, and arrived shortly after 3pm on a Tuesday. Not very much was left, but what we did get - pork and chicken siopao, and a meat skewer- was delicious. A&D is still on my bucket list because I need to get there at noon to experience more of their menu. We did buy some Boy Bawang snacks (flavored corn nuts). I was quite intrigued by the avocado ice cream. They also had Ube and some other flavors. We did not get any other items though. It is small inside. Not meant to be eaten indoors. Lovely ladies working, and adhering to COVID-19 protocols. I guarantee you won't regret what you order even if I haven't gotten to experience the full menu. read more

After all the hype we have heard about this place after moving here from the Philippines, not so impressed. Maybe because, our expectations were too high. You would think that since there Pinoys apparently running the shop, the foods would be very authentic? This was not the case, in that there was a dramatic difference in one food that is a daily staple to many Filipinos. PANDESAL! Why is it so hard to make authentic looking and tasting PANDESAL? Yours is yellow? And sweeter than any I have ever had. Your Empanadas were very nice, a little pricey for something that doesn't require any imported ingredients! Also, yet to find Patis from Lorins a very common brand. Your Bangus and BBQ was very good, no Pancit which was a surprise. read more

I've been coming here for a few years since before they moved to this location but this is my first review. I've always had a great experience. The food is always good! You have to get there early because it goes fast! The women are always nice! My favorites are the puto (steamed rice cake), the bbq pork sticks, pork siopao, kuchinta...okay, everything is my favorite! It's hard to choose. Don't forget they are closed on Mondays! read more

I tried their pancit. It was good. No dine in Also its has groceries and frozen lumpia, etc. read more

One of the dishes that I always get is binagoongan. If you've had adobo, it's similar but I think it's extra flavorful. I prefer the brown version rather than the pink version (IYKYK). They had homemade chicken chicharon last time too. There is also a small grocery store with some Asian staples and frozen goods (like lumpia and Filipino ice cream). read more

My family has been going to A & D Manila Bakery for all our Filipino Food needs since we moved to the area. Their food is always good and is as authentic as it can get, so we always grab some entrees there if we get too lazy to cook at home. The most appealing part to me is the desserts that they sell, often Goldilocks or Red Ribbon brand. They also sell a variety of Filipino food products inside. The parking lot is tiny and it can get packed around meal times on the weekend, but service is so fast that you should be in and out within a few minutes! Definitely come by if you're craving a taste of the Philippines. read more

Highly recommend this place. My go to place for pork kabobs and frozen lumpia. They ran out of kabobs by noon sadly. I know I should have planned better because yes they run out quick on Sunday. Lol. Cute little place with honest good Filipino food and groceries such as shrimp chips (one of the other big reasons I come here). Staff are all nice. Little far from me traveling from Bartram Springs area but yes worth it! read more

For me so far this is the best Filipino restaurant I ever have here in Jacksonville. My favorite here is Laing , Filipino style pork bbq and their garlic peanuts! For me this is as authentic as the Filipino food I had when I was in Philippines. They also serve dinuguan, palabok, menudo, kare kare and many other things. They also have a mini grocery inside where you can buy Filipino products. read more

Spot on taste of home and the prices are great! At the very least, you need to walk out with a bag of pan de sal! Looking forward to catering several of the dishes. read more

Being that it's located so close to home, this is one of my go-to spots when I need a fast filipino food fix. Granted, the offerings are nowhere near as good as moms, but the portions are generous and the food as well as their baked goods are fresh and tasty, so this place serves as a viable substitute. It's a take-out joint, so don't come here expecting a dine-in experience. It's pick what you want, get what you want, and go. But each time I've paid this place a visit, the service was friendly, and the guy (owner?) didn't mind answering my "what's this?" and "what's that?" questions. Food: Combo Plate, which is two food choices, served with 2 scoops of white rice. My faves are the beef stew (beef, carrots, potatoes in a tomato-based sauce) and the pancit (rice noodles with pork, cabbage, carrots, and green beans). When pancit isn't offered that day, I go with the fried battered pork chop. This is some yummy grub, Yeeps. Even if you've never had filipino food before, don't be shy to ask about the different dishes. They're more than happy to describe not only the ingredients but the flavor profile of each dish! I also grab mom some sinigang (stew flavored with a tamarind base with eggplant, okra, pork, fish sauce and tomatoes) while I'm there when I want to surprise her with dinner. Baked Goods: I like the mocha roll and the butter and cheese ensemada the best, but they also have steamed and baked siopau (barbequed pork bun) which are also both very good. Wrap-Up: This joint is located in the Orange Park area, on 103rd street (inside the Publix Shopping Center, on the far left side, next to the corner store). They give you a good amount of food at reasonable prices, and with a smile at that! Stop in and give this place a try if you're in the area! Support your local eats and two thumbs up for A&D Manila Bakery! read more

When I am feening for a some Filipino dishes and desserts, I make a quick trip to A & D Manila Bakery. Even though it's a far trip for me, it is all worth it in the end. A & D Manila Bakery carries the majority of main dishes that Filipinos are accustomed to eating. They also carry varieties of pastries and desserts. For a small shop, this place has most of it. The staff is always friendly. Some of their main dishes sells out quick, but at most times, you can call ahead, request a certain dish, and they will set it aside for you for a later pickup. read more

A & D Manila Bakery offers a variety of Filipino baked goods such as siopao (chicken or pork), ensaymada, pan de sal, hopia (beans or pork), pan de leche, and others. I love their pork hopia and pan de leche the best. They have the best lechon kawali in town. Crispy on the outside and tender meat on the inside. Just the way I like it. I've also tried their pork sinigang, adobo, dinuguan, fried tilapia and pancit. Mmmm Mmmm great! Authentic Filipino food here! You have to come in early though because they run out quickly. They only cook enough for the day. Friendly staff. Sometimes, I have to call-in and reserve some lechon to carry-out. On their frozen section, they have eggrolls, empanada, longganisa, ice cream, and others to take home. read more

We ordered a tray of lumpia for our son's birthday and it was over fried and so dry that there was almost no filling left. The lechon we ordered was good but does not come in a large order. If you want good lumpia, order in small amounts or buy them frozen to cook yourself. Disappointed that this is what we served at his 1st birthday. read more

First time trying Manila Bakery on my way to Jax. It's small but the food was large & tasty. Tried some classic Pinot food: lechon, adobo & pansit. Overall, very flavorful & reasonably priced. Also picked up some pandesal another pinoy classic. Recommend if you want to try Pilipino food. read more

I've always like this place for buying authentic Filipino freshly cooked meal and groceries. Just a tip: be early if you want to get their meals for the day! We went there around 4pm and only got the Kare-kare vegetables left, sans the beef and tripe. They were still delicious though. The longganisa, boneless milk fish, and sisig are the reasons why we come here! Hubby Ioves the pande leche and their sapin-sapin. Make sure to check out Manila Bakery! read more

Small store pick food to go and no place to sit. It's a Filipino store with few can food, snacks, frozen but no vegetables. I was there after 12 only one car on a lot. Not busy only have 4 or so item. Fish, chicken adobo, pansit, mapaait, caldereta I think, pork kawali, lumpia banana. I had order pansit, adobo, pork kawali. Food was okay. Sorry it just taste okay! read more

I catered from here before, the staff is nice and friendly. I love their sweet buns the prepackaged in red bean and taro flavors. They also serve Filipino food lunch or dinner, they offer different dish every week. Such as Asian styled cabbage, soup, roiasted pork erc. There are some tables and chairs out but the space is very limited since the place is not very big. I love how everything is made and baked freshly here. The pancit is good, but I would like more cabbage and chicken in it. The bbq chicken on the sticks are good too, but require dipping sauce because the meat is a lillte bland. Overall is a great little place for Asian pastries and quick authentic filipino food. I highly recommend checking out this place if you get a chance. read more

My significant other has introduced me to enough Filipino food that I now watch out for it. We're very rarely on the west side of Jax, so when an errand put us in Orange Park, we decided to head just a little further north, and check out A & D Bakery. As others have mentioned, parking is very limited, so bring your small car, and some patience. The store is somewhat small as well, and it was hopping today. There were at least 12 customers when we were there, but the center is a bit more open so it didn't feel tight. There is room to dine in, but not very much, and there was someone giving it a try when we were there. Probably better to get things to go here. You can stock up on cooking and baking supplies, as well as partake in an assortment of baked good, and filipino-style entrees from their kitchen. I found myself fascinated with the color of the desserts. It was a bit early for lunch so we didn't partake of their entrees, but I did observe pancit and kare-kare among other items. I also spied packages lumpia in the freezer, which I can definitely imagine returning to try. We got some ingredients for home (longanisa, vinegar, coconut milk, etc.), as well sweet buns, and a pair of savory buns with a chicken filling. This was a nice find. If we were closer, this could be a regular spot. read more

Randomly decided to try this place out after passing by it so many times. I came on a Saturday or Sunday and parking lot was packed. The lot is small, everyone is hangry so come prepared. When you walk in, you see some packaged food to your left kinda like a small grocery store and some refrigerated items to the right. Straight ahead at the counter is cafeteria style with maybe a dozen options. I'm not Filipino so I was super lost and may or may not have been watching the regulars order so I can copy them. After a few minutes of studying them, I got a combo box. I got pancit which are the Filipino noodles, I got a veggie dish with bittermelon and their crispy pork dish. The lady behind the counter was super nice and patient with me and she explained everything I was questioning since clearly I was lost. I was tempted to get their fried fish but after spotting the BBQ a lady just brought out, it was clear I had to get 5 pieces. Why 5? No idea. Impulsive hunger. They also had some desserts at the counter which seemed to be selling out quickly. The BBQ supposedly goes fast too which is not shocking because it was delicious. It was the best thing I got and was still amazing as leftovers. Will definitely come back to try their fish and of course get more BBQ. read more

Since moving to Jacksonville almost a year ago, this is the best place to go to if you're craving Filipino food. I can pretty much make everything they serve on their hot bar, but on the days I don't want to cook, this is my go to spot! Come early when everything is fresh! The first time I came here was around 2pm on a weekday and I was not impressed, most of the food was gone and they weren't making anymore. Then someone told me that I have to go early to get the best choices. Next time I went was about 11am (also on a week day) the this little store was packed (even busier on Saturdays)! I had to wait to get a parking spot. I ordered my food and ate in the store (they have a very small eating area). So many people came and went ordering to go plates. Now you know they have good food when a little mom and pop kind of restaurant/store gets busy! Definitely try this place out and go earl read more

Sadly my current city does not have authentic Filipino food. Being married to a Filipina and also having lived in the Philippines for 3 years we both crave authentic Filipino Food. As part of our visit to JAX we added A&D to our list of places to check out. Our first visit was later in the day and they didn't have any food left. We did get some Siopao and they were delicious. We decided to arrive early the next day to ensure we got some of their food to have for lunch and also to take home. We arrived just after 10 and it was already busy with a line nearly out the door. The wife got some fried fish, couple of beef and pork dishes and I got some pork BBQ on a stick. We got back to the hotel and wow were we very pleased. It was like being back in the Philippines and enjoying my Mother-in-Laws home cooking. Thanks JAX Yelpers for helping my find this local Gem! I am looking forward to my next trip to JAX so we can have some more delicious Filipino food from A&D!!! read more

Very pricey!!! They don't post in the store the price of the food. I purchased 4 pieces of tortang talong, charged me $7.25 each, and a package of Lumpiang Shanghai is $ 19.00, the Filipino restaurant I go to, tortang along is $4.99 each and Lumping Shanghai is 12.99 per package. Will not go back. read more

I have been going to this business for more than 15 years, way before they moved to their current location. If you pine for Filipino food, this place is fabulous. They have a variety of comfort food on rotation, with some dishes like lechon kawali and fried tilapia and dinaing na bangus available everyday. One tip: they start putting out lunch at about 1030 or so, and there's a very good chance you will miss out on the more popular dishes if you come in at noon or later. Eating in is probably not a good idea; the space for it is small, too cozy and potentially chaotic if you were expecting a quiet meal. So most people get food to go. And do you miss Filipino style ham--remember The Excellente Brand? Well, they take orders for Thanksgiving and Christmas every year. These are always awesome and the supply is limited, so check/reserve early! read more

Visiting family in Jax, and second time to this place. This is a small place that sells groceries and cooked Filipino entrees. It is clean and the people are nice. Parking is very tight though. They have the usual rice, noodles and canned goods. They also have frozen foods and homemade tocino and longaniza. The bakery has breads and rolls which they make in house, but they do not make cakes. The only ones I saw for sale is Goldilocks. This is the only local bakery around Jax thats good. I like their siopao (pork or chicken), mamons, and garlic peanuts. I always stop by here to get my fix of snacks and sweets. read more
