    Yummy ube crinkle cookies. Learned about these from Kohiko Coffee House. This is a lovely filipino cafe. They have food options and baked goods. Need to come back.

    I didn't capture the color well. It's homemade ube ice cream! So good!!

    I've only had two items here, both sweets. Both very memorable and repeatable. I've repeated them with my mom, and on my own. The halo halo was so good, my mom and I came back again within the week. Something's different. Idk. It's better than home halo halo! Not that my family has made any of it from scratch. Just jars and cans of tropicals from the store. Jambeto's is less of the childhood sweet. More of the adult sweet. Yet, it still has the South Asian influence on the Philippines kind of sweet. The crushed crunchy toasted rice is different too. Is it the ratio? How toasted? What is going on here? It's my favorite place for halo halo.... Then one day, I missed my mom and aunt so much for so long, that I wandered over. I didn't have a pre-plan. Kismet. A literal sign of the in-house ube ice cream. My photos are unworthy. This was deeply delicious. Not the childhood reference either. Beyond it. I have never eaten ice cream so slowly, other than my first straciatella gelato. Each lick and bite, I ask, what is this? Hmmm. So good. It's not cheap, but priced as other places of in-house ice cream. It's a matured magic. Palate wonder.

    Pancit Soranghon

    The food, service and the ambiance. Thank you for preparing my pancit sotanghon. It arrived warm and tasty.

    Carrot cupcake, too dense for me.

    5 stars! Thank you for staying open during Covid. We all know how difficult these times are for local businesses. Love the Ube ensaymada, freshly made and so flaky. Quite generous with the Ube filling. I always get their pan de sal, always baked to perfection. Their Sylvannas, empanadas, cupcakes and halo halo are the best! Let us continue to support local businesses!

    Sapin Sapin?????
    Bryant B.

    Being an expat from California it is not easy to find good Filipino food. Based on Yelp reviews decided to try Jambeto's. I ordered a party tray of palabok, ensyemada, & a combination of beef and chicken empanada in addition to a questionable Sapin Sapin. Food was good but felt the empanada was a bit doughy and the beef was dry. Palabok was good as well as the ensyemada. But for me the Sapin Sapin was disappointing. Just look at the attached picture and judge for yourself. It tasted bland and had a chalky aftertaste, let alone it did not resemble the traditional Sapin Sapin I am accustomed to. ‍ Overall the food was ok.

    I'm so glad to find this little gem serving some authentic Filipino dishes alongside baked treats. There are a few tables inside for those wanting to dine in but I feel like most people order to go. The case in the front displays all the sweet treats including cake balls, silvanas, flan cake, leche flan, and more. Halo halo is what I need to try next but the buttercream silvana was out of this world! I am a big fan of French macarons but the silvana is in a way quite similar to it, but has its own flair. The crisp and flavorful topping is delicious every bite. The palabok here is generous portioned and amazing as well with large shrimps and the perfect amount of chicharrones layered between the pork crumbles and smooth rice noodles. The squeeze of lemon is not to be forgotten! They also serve wings in a few flavors but I opted for adobo. It is slightly lighter in flavor here and the wings are breaded but nonetheless satisfactory. I am looking forward to trying the lumpia here and I hope even after the drive home they retain a good amount of crispiness. Check in on Yelp to receive one free silvana!

    Devoured ube bread loaf, the pan de regla's gone, even before we could take a picture

    First time to purchase ube bread loaf there, and it was good. Soft and freshly baked, wished there was more ube jam in it. Our lucky day, they just came out with their pan de regla and we bought 2 pcs., loved the bread and the red filling, just a bit sweet yet overall, they were great!

    4 stars for the lumpias and halo halo! Lumpias are the Filipino version of egg rolls. Jambeto's lumpias came out piping hot and fresh. Got both pork and beef lumpias and couldn't tell the difference. Loved how crunchy it was. It also came with a tangy sauce which was a nice balance to the fried lumpias. This was also our first time trying halo halo and all I can say is wow! It was delicious!! Reminded me of Vietnamese Che. Prices were reasonable too! Overall, this place is a nice introduction to Filipino food with great, fair prices .

    My wife and I brought a dozen beef empanada for $14.50. The empanada tasted ok, but was on the small side for the price. Maybe we will return, maybe not.

    Mocha silvanas
    Mindy L.

    Average. Pancit with Chicken: 3.5/5 Not anything special but not bad either. Large portion and comes with cabbage, carrots, and green beans. I appreciate that they used chicken breast. A bit on the salty side, but still finished the whole thing. Chicken empenadas: 2.5/5 The filling tastes like ground pot pie and the skin doesn't have much flavor. I liked that it's baked instead of deep fried, but I ordered two and was only able to finish half of one. * shrug * it really wasn't all that. Ube Kalamay: 2.5/5 This is essentially a sticky rice dessert baked with coconut milk. It was just all right. I feel like I've had WAY better baked sticky rice desserts before, including various homemade ones. Booo. It's been 3 days and aside from the first piece I ate, the kalamay is still sitting untouched in the fridge. Mocha Silvanas: 4.5/5 Now this was a winner! Crunchy and chewy macaron shell with a filling that tastes like mocha flavored whipped marshmallow cream, yummmm! I wished I had gotten more. This was awesome! I'm a bit bummed. I love bakeries and was so excited to try this place, but only the silvanas were really worth the trip.

    Lumpias
    April G.

    My daughter and I came here and I ordered the chicken and shrimp and pancit and the beef lumpia's. Service was fast and the space was accommodating for take out or dine in. The lumpia's were ok, I did not care for the sauce that came with it and I could hardly taste the beef flavor. But the pancit was really good. It tasted almost as good as my daughter's grandmother who is Filipino. I would most definitely return for the pancit and the great service. Everyone was friendly and welcoming.

    This is what Silvana is suppose to taste/look like. This is sold elsewhere not at Jambetos
    Marc D.

    Tried their Sylvanas. Been wanting to try it and finally was not as i expected. It was more of a Macaroon which was disappointing. Also had a weird soapy taste which sadly had to throw away. (But i did find a Sylvana sold elsewhere pictured below.)

    Silvanas- coconut, lemon, and buttercream
    Camille L.

    We stopped in here to pick up some desserts while we were in Sugar Land. I've only eaten Filipino food a couple of times so I was intrigued. We ordered four silvanas in different flavors. They are somewhat similar to macarons, but with noticeable differences. I thought they were delicious! My favorite was the buttercream. Next time I'll try the pancit.

    I am impressed with this Red Berries Bakeshop's new location. It moved from Parks at Sugar Creek…read morestrip mall to Murphy Road and SW Freeway. The interior is much bigger than previous location. There are lots of seating area and bigger cake displays with more deli choices. I was shopping at Sugar Park Plaza across street and noticed the sign, nice and big. Red Berries Bakeshop is smacked between Cici's Pizza and Xfinity Store. I can't resist of coming in. Wow. The friendly employees greeted me as I walked in. That was how I remember Red Berries Bakeshop. I have been to its sister store Hot Breads Bakers on Hillcroft Street. Yeah. I like this one better. As I was contemplating with what to eat for lunch, a helpful customer suggested to try their panini. So, I ordered Masala Aloo Panini. While waiting, I also bought 2 boxes of cookies because of the buy one gets one for 50% off holiday offer. My sweet tooth was not ended yet. I also ordered a cake shot - cake and topping in a shot glass. I used to remember all the pastries taste and ingredients. I know my favorite is the eggless Pista Cookies. One of the boxes of cookies was assorted. I don't know their names, but I know few of them has Indian spices. Mmm... So Yummy. It took about 10 minutes for Panini to arrive. I could never imagine having a meatless panini with spicy potatoes before. The cheese and spicy sauce just melt in my mouth with the toasty bun. Anyway, to finish it off, I ate that cake shot. Ha! What a square meal. If you are in the area, make sure to stop by. Oh, I can't recommend any particular dish because I will tell you to order everything.

The bright Red Berries sign caught my attention and made me want to come in and try a slice (or two) of their cakes. I had no idea what was in store for me! I walked in and was greeted by an amiable staff member who was kind enough to show me and explain to me some of their different menu items and pastries. I was quite excited to try their Rasmalai Pastry and I loved it! It was so light and tasty. I will definitely be back again.

    If you want piping hot, fresh egg tarts, this is the place to go in Little Saigon in Houston. Not…read moreonly that, but their mango mochi was so soft, chewy, and full of delicious mango filling with little mango fruit bits. But the egg tarts are the star of the show. Incredibly flaky with a creamy sweet custard filling. Others just don't compare. The guys up front were cordial and shout out to the hard working bakers and staff in the back. The inside is functional and reminiscent of the immigrants who brought this area together and continue to keep this community thriving. Next time we're in Houston we'll have to try their other pastries as well. As others noted, don't forget to bring cash as there is a small credit card fee.

    I'm gonna start by saying that I'm pretty picky/particular about egg tarts. I've been meaning to…read moretry this place for a long time. I wanted to know if it lived up to its hype. We finally came around to checking it out and OMG YES. It absolutely is worth the hype. As a lover of egg tarts and someone who is also very particular about it - these have won my heart! I also heard great things about the mango mochi so we couldn't leave without those. Thankfully they still had some in stock. I heard they sell out quickly especially on weekends. Those also lived up to its hype. SO YUMMY! Tastes so fresh including the mangoes. My kiddo who LOVES mango anything loved them so much! My husband also got 2 savory pastries (I forgot what they were called and I forgot to take a picture) and those were yummy too. Perfectly flakey crust just like the egg tarts. We wanted to get sesame balls but they were sold out. Customer service was great. The guy that took our order was very nice. It was pretty busy but he moved through the line quickly. There's some seating inside if you want to eat there. Prices are very reasonable at $2 each for the mochi and egg tarts. The savory pastries were $3. It's located in a shared lot/area. Parking can be tight and limited on a busy weekend day but they have parking right out front for the Eck bakery customers. Also note that if you pay with card it's a 2.5% charge so cash is better if you have it. We didn't but we know now for future. We had a great experience here and will definitely be back. Next time we'll come earlier and get a bigger order and try their other offerings.
