I was genuinely excited to try this vendor at the Ube festival in Cerritos, but this ended up being one of the most disappointing food experiences I've had in a long time. I paid $32 for a small cup of fried items and $15 for a halo-halo drink, and neither came close to justifying the price. The fried food was dry, bland, and tasted like it had been sitting out far too long. There was no freshness, no flavor--just oil and disappointment. For that price, I expected something at least memorable... it was memorable, just not in a good way. The halo-halo was equally underwhelming. It was noticeably watered down, lacking the rich, creamy flavor you expect. Again, for $15, that's pretty unacceptable. What makes this more frustrating is that this was at a festival, where vendors should be putting their absolute best forward to attract new customers. If this was their "best," I'd hate to see what a normal day looks like. Between the high prices, tiny portions, and poor quality, this felt like a complete miss. I don't mind paying premium prices at events--but the food has to back it up. This didn't. I wouldn't return, and I definitely wouldn't recommend it. read more

Although the drink was absolutely delicious, I'm all about supporting small businesses, but am not a fan of paying 11$ for a cup full of ice. I literally finished the drink within 5 sips. This was purchased at the Glendale College festival. Service was quick and a little hiccupy. Adorable menu, high prices and questionable portions. Review on the drink: The drink itself was a Calamansi refresher made with some of the zest. It had a nice green color and was neither too sweet with a light tang. An excellent drink and at the same time ruined by miser portions. Consumer be warned. read more

This is a long-overdue review, and even months later, we are still thinking about the amazing wedding cake and desserts that D Baker's Lab created for our DTLA wedding. Our guests continue to rave about them to this day! When searching for desserts for our wedding, we knew we wanted something unique, flavorful, and memorable--and we couldn't have made a better choice than D Baker's Lab. Being part Filipino, it was important to me to share a piece of my culture with our loved ones. Filipino dessert vendors are hard to come by, so finding D Baker's Lab felt incredibly special. I worked closely with Angela, who was always responsive, accommodating, and an absolute pleasure to work with. From the moment we met her at our dessert tasting, she made us feel so welcome. Her warm, friendly, and personable nature made choosing D Baker's Lab an easy decision. We decided on a dessert station filled with a variety of treats--ube milk cheese rolls, buko pandan jelly, strawberry cheesecake parfaits, cassava cups, fruit cups, and mini floating islands--along with our ube banana wedding cake and a halo-halo station featuring supreme, mango crumble, and buko pandan flavors. And OMG--it was an absolute HIT at our wedding! Our guests loved everything and were even asking for their business cards. We honestly wish we had ordered more because everything was gone so fast! We are beyond grateful to Angela and the entire D Baker's Lab team for making our wedding day even more memorable. We would absolutely recommend them to all of our friends and family and anyone looking for incredible desserts with heart and culture behind them. read more

There was an UBE festival at the Don Knabe park over the weekend so we decided to check it out. I was craving some Halo Halo, and we stumbled upon this D Baker's Lab stand at the festival. There was a long wait to order it. I went with the Halo Supreme. I guess it was the works, it was good but not like the Halo Halo I was expecting. I didn't like whatever they put at the bottom, tasted sweet but had a weird sour after taste. I got the large for $14 but probably the small for $12 would've suffice. Since this was a festival they operated out of a tent stand. So you order, pay, and wait to pick up your order in the pickup window. Ambiance was nice since it was at the park. So we got to walk around to see other vendors while we ate our halo halo. read more

Definitely not worth it. Its overpriced $15 for something that's supposed to be supreme but was only simple halo halo. They claim smooth creamy halo halo i had chunks of ice. Service was quick.

D Baker's lab by AnJ is located at the corner of Titus and Van Nuys Blvd in Pacoima, inside the LA Chef's Kitchens. This is a collection of various food spots, try them all. Came here is get some desert, wanted to try the Filipino Halo-Halo. The girl behind the counter was nice, took our order and got working on them, service was very fast and we got five Halo-Halo's. Got the Halo-Halo Supreme, first time trying it and now I'm a fan. Halo-Halo's are made to mix and come with so many flavors and textures, it is a really unique desert and sooo tasty. Their description of the desert is: It is a delightful fusion of sweetened bananas, rainbow jelly, coconut jelly, pandan jelly, macapuno strings, sweetened chickpea, Ube halaya, all crowned with their signature milk shaved ice, ube milk base and Lucious leche flan. That is a mouthful and one you have to experience. We got a small and shared it, which I think is plenty, I think getting one alone would be just too much, but to each their own. The idea behind Halo-Halo is once you have it, you begin mixing all together to enjoy the various flavors and textures and how they all work together. Yum! Better when mixed rather than eating each section alone. The concept here is ghost kitchen, a collection of kitchens all under one roof, various tables to sit at inside and outside once you decide what you want to eat, very cool concept. Parking is street parking only I believe, but we found a couple spots right outside the building, so it is pretty easy to get in and out. Enjoy! read more

We ordered couple of desserts. Our favorite is Ube, it was very rich, right amount of sweetness and heavily loaded with marshmallows and chunks of chocolate bits. We ordered large and definitely shareable. We didn't finish the whole thing because after awhile, it was overwhelming. Mango was also delicious, not too sweet. We got the Spanish breads with jam in it, they weren't tasty at all. I loved the Ube cream square dessert, it was very smooth and tasty. It was $14 for Large, pricier than usual. read more

I always make sure to order from this store for special occasions!! I highly recommend their buko pandan cups, ube cheesecake bars, yema brazo cups, and strawberry parfait cups! And when you're feeling hot from the weather, nothings beats their halo halo!! You can't go wrong with either avocado dream, iskrambol, banana con yema or their supreme! Their quality and presentation stay consistent!! Order from them, and you won't regret it!! read more

Been wanting to try this place since we always go to Elno next door to get coffee/boba but this vendor opens a little later than our usual time frame of being there. We finally made a later trip to try it for lunch today! This is located inside the food haul and they have street parking along Titus street. We've been eyeing their Sisig Dumplings and Sisig Bowl forever!! Ordered our food which came out shortly after and took it home to enjoy. We don't typically dine in but they have some bar stools across by the window in case you want to eat there. These vendors are quick which is great! You can basically order from multiple and they'll all be ready in minutes. Incredible. By far one of the best sisig I've ever had! The sisig dumplings are next level and perfectly fried. The dumplings and rice bowl both come with some sort of citrus sauce which pairs PERFECTLY with everything! It's almost like an adobo flavored sauce but can't quite put my finger on it. Hands down delicious and definitely makes us want to come back! read more

Came back 3rd time with cousins to try more. Also got the DBL halo halo delight, they didnt have the coffee one. Tried cheese bread, pandan cup and the cute cupcake looking things in the case. Also the usual pandan, ube macapuno and attack B with sago. The tiny cupcakes are ube, lech flan and a mereign on top. Perfect bite! Can't wait to try other drinks and the attack A! read more

They had a stand at the lunar festival in Rancho Cucamonga this last weekend. The line wasn't too long and the lady who helped us, was friendly.

Been here once, desserts are good, i kinda liked it, they're unique especially the ice cream. The taho wasn't as good, not as silky smooth as the others. The meriendas like lumpia are ok. Though good and unique their creations are, they're also kinda expensive which throws me off. Owner and staff are friendly though. read more

I was passing through Eagle Rock and noticed that there was a marketplace set up in the parking lot of the mall. I stopped to check it out and came across D Baker's Lab! There were an array of Filipino baked goods (Ube halaya melt pandesal, Ube Spanish bread, floating islands, pan de coco and plenty more!). However, I was hungry for lunch, so I went with the Sisig Siomai with rice! I've never tried anything like it before, the outside was crispy and it was stuffed with Sisig. The garlic chili sauce on top was delicious! Make sure to follow D Baker's Lab by AnJ on Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok to figure out where they'll set up shop next! read more

I highly recommend D Bakers Lab by AnJ. Their pastries are incredibly delicious, especially their Ube Spanish bread, which is the only bread my daughter will eat--she's obsessed with it! We also tried their sisig, siomai, lumpia, and more, and every item was so delicious that you'll find yourself craving more non-stop. Please make sure to visit them at their new location, LA Chefs Kitchen in Panorama City. The service is exceptionally prompt and quick, and you'll find the staff and owners to be incredibly polite, caring, and understanding.

Service was kinda slow at opening time at noon today but there were a lot of customers in line already just when they opened. I ordered the D'Lab Attack Set A. The presentation was superb, the usual Filipino finger foods neatly served on top of your drink was a tasty treat that reminded me of street foods in cebu. 2-1 serving, and very handy. The pastries ---they're a must try too. Just be extra patient to find a parking spot nearby. read more

I ordered 2 dishes the eggroll with rice and a combo of eggroll and sisig. Each meal was around $26 each with a delivery app. For its price, I at least expected the quality of your usual Togo Filipino places. The chicken eggroll was 4/10. It's edible, but It's not delicious. It actually upsets me that someone would put out a product like this. Their sisig was gummy, not cooked enough, all you taste is cartilage, under seasoned. The pickles/atchara was about a teaspoon, sisig was 2 regular sized dinner spoons. I can't recommend this place. They have to taste their own food and charge properly. read more

If you're a Filipino this is not a halo-halo. It's flavored shaved ice. Taste is not bad. Sweetness is just right. For the price I can buy two real halo-halo. If it was called flavored shaved ice then I would give it a four star rating. Calling it halo-halo is false advertising in my opinion. Service is good and the place looks clean. read more

Unexpected place to find this gem. I was casually looking around the area looking for food and settled for this. It's part of the many shops inside the tall building complex at LA Chef's Kitchen. I settled for the rice bowl in the end and their ube bar. It was a bit on the pricey side for the shomai bowl compared to most food, but it was good. The ube bar was also pretty good. The ambiance is okay for a quick in and out because of the space next to other stores. Service was good too, there was only one person the sadly taking orders, but it was a good first experience. read more

Overated. Too pricey for the quality of food. Dont let the pics fool you. I dont mind paying a lot for something i would enjoy. Theyre fusion sisig dumplings, i rate it 1 out of 5. Little tiny pieces that do not taste like sisig. It tasted bleh! The $12 halo halo wasnt so bad only because it was 95 degrees in the valley that day. To top it off the tindera was rude and non attentive . Sorry not sorry i do not recommend this place read more

Ordered a gallon of iskrambol and taho and one dozen yema brazo cups for a small party - the iskrambol was very good & nostalgic. Tastes just how I remember from the Philippines and our guests very much enjoyed it too. The taho was good, but we've had better ones. They also forgot about our yema brazo cups and didnt have them ready on time when we came to pick up our order, but they dropped it off an hour later so it was ok. But what threw me off was the pricing. I paid almost $200 for what was supposed to serve about 15 people. Everything was good, but too expensive for what it is read more

We have seen how D Baker's Lab has grown over the past few years and we are happy that the quality is consistent and irresistibly tastes good! Me and my family's favorites are the Purple Sticky Rice, Garlic Chicken, Spaghetti, and Sisig! We also love their pastries such as Milky Cheese Rolls and different varieties of Ube Pandesal! Also, they have different summer quenchers, the Halo-Halo addiction, and our fave is the Iskrambol and Buko Pandan. Not only perfect for summer but every time your craving kicks in!

Great food and dessert! Must try. Some items reminded me of my childhood desserts yummy.

The first time i tasted their halo-halo was when i went to their store and bought it with their famous spanish bread. From then on, i became to love their halo halo thats why I got their halo halo catering service for my daughter's birthday . I want to share with my guests how yummy their halo halo and its absolutely delicious. The ingredients of halo halo mixed together are really blended that you can taste the flavor of it. Their halo halo catering has a variety of flavors to choose from. The size of the cups is just right for an event. I was surprised during our event that everyone even the non Filipinos liking it .. almost everyone lined up to taste the halohalo. At first , i thought only few will try the halo halo but NO almost everyone wanted to get it . unfortunately I only reserved their silver package should have gotten the gold package Their service to my guest was excellent. It was easy to communicate with the owner before, during and even after the event. Its easy to reach out to them when you have questions with their Product. The staff was very friendly one staff named Kass is so polite and so nice.Their customer service is excellent. I will definitely get them again on my next event. They went above and beyond with their service and most especially their product halohalo read more
