    Old refrigerated Pansit Canton. I got this thought it's new but it's cold.

    Don't buy the food like this. This are their leftovers and put to the fridge and then put it outside. Then put it back again in the fridge. It's old. They should cook new everyday. Panis na !!!!!!!

    Pretty good bakery for Filipino goods. I wouldn't have known about this bakery if not for Fiesta Barbecue and Bibingka that's located in the same strip. While I was waiting for my food at Fiesta Barbecue, I decided to step into Jbj's bakery and check them out. Get whatever is fresh out of their ovens or fryer. The ukoy, lumpia, and turon all make for great snacks. I've also gotten different things from their fridge or prepared foods section.

    This is the ginataan I poured into a soup bowl at home.  Meh

    The Good 1. They bake everything on premises, not trucked in like Dunkin Donuts and a lot of Chinese Dim Sum places. 2. Friendly efficient staff 3. Good pan de sal, ube halaya (both better when heated), and various rice flour deserts like cucinta, sapin-sapin The Bad 1. Not fond of their turon: fried lumpia shell with burro or Saba banana with a teeny langka strip 2, Not fond of their ginataan: coconut milk and sugar base with various fresh and preserved fruits such as burro banana, ube, langka, etc. I would probably rate them 3.5 but rounded to 4. I totally support the smaller chains of bakeries, especially when they bake their own. There's a freshness that is lost when you sell day old or frozen then defrosted stuff (McDonalds and Carls Jr. bakery stuff as well as Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts and many Chinese dim sum places). Here you can see the employees in the back sweating near the ovens, stoves, and steamers so there is no chef fashion show like on TV. Today, the counter person was watching a Filipino entertainment show (which is more tolerable than the overly dramatic (someone is an infidel and/or dies Filipino soaps) gag) LOL/ Anyway service was prompt and friendly,. apologizing for selling out of some stuff I wanted. Their turon this day was too long and thin , and too much lumpia wrapper fried - it wasn't like that a few other times I'd been there. Am sorry I didn't take a picture but after two bites I tossed it. It is crispy and sweet with candied brown sugar. But inside I much prefer they use the larger cooking bananas, that when fully ripe, is sweeter and juicier than the hard, not too sweet smaller cooking (burro) banana they use. When I make it, the banana and larger langka pieces take over, here they're an afterthought. Their ginataan is pretty to look at. But again it's that hard banana and hard casava they use. I prefer it with the better big fully fully ripe cooking banana and orange colored more colorful and sweeter yams. And they're purple yam is too purple...Filipino manufacturers use purple dye too much. Why not leave it the color God hand intended? Otherwise, glad to see a real bakery,, not just a places that sells baked goods.

    Some pick ups for today- baked siopaos, pan de ube, and a mocha roll
    Jamie D.

    Jbj's bakery has been here for over 20 years! Jbj will always have a special place in my heart because that's where I met my best friend since 2nd grade and I love their baked siopaos since I was in elementary school. Jbj sells not only Filipino baked goods, but also Filipino food. My husband loves their palabok and their spaghetti. I always have to order 4 baked siopaos. They have baked and steamed pork or chicken siopao and you can't pick which one because they're both delicious. I also have to get kutchinta and leche flan because that's my husband's favorite, and you can't forget their pan de ube and FRESH pan de sal! Jbj not only has a special place in my heart, but also been a staple in my family. My dad loves their pianono which is like a Filipino sponge cake and their kepeng which is like a Filipino cracker with brown sugar. My lolo(grandpa) and my aunts stops by and gets their pan de ube which is a pan del sal with ube inside. Price is reasonable and the parking in the plaza can be a hit or miss depending on the time you go since there is a school near by. I recommend JBJ's bakery to anyone that wants or craves Filipino goods. There was a time where I was working night shifts in Downey, and I couldn't go home because I was craving for a siopao. So imagine..leaving work from Downey at 8am and head to Carson to get some Filipino goodies before heading home in Long Beach to get some sleep before working at night again...That's how good...Support local businesses!

    I only went here because I was waiting for my food at Poke Etc a few doors down. When I walked inside I saw the bread section against the wall. And I started grabbing things! Got the pan de sal bag. Pan De ube. Some jelly looking item. And the coconut puto. I didn't get to eat it till I got home. And then I started eating the bread at home by itself. Made sandwiches with it. Gave some to my kids. I cleared it all out. So good!

    Mold

    First and last time going there ! Didn't notice it when I started eating it until I took the aluminum foil off.

    Hopia Hapon
    Akemi I.

    Been to this place twice when visiting my doctor next door. I've had their Hopia hapon, ube/cheese pan de sal and pan de ube which were all good. I wouldn't say this was a place to go out of your way for but if I'm the area and want some Filipino baked goods then it's good. There are no prices listed anywhere though for anything which is a bit annoying but there's a sign that's says you will get charged $0.75 for any purchase if you use a credit card other than cash.The Hopia hapon is $4 each so that's like $1 per in a package for reference. It's a bit pricey so take it as you will. And when I bought the pan de ube, Hopia hapon, and ube cheese pan de sal my total was $11-$12. I've been to Red Ribbon Bakeshop and it was cheaper, so I'd recommend that place over this one if I'm being honest

    Joyce A.

    They have the best hopiang hapon! But I went today, and they only have it on certain days. Pandesal is good too, but not as fresh as Valerios. I'm don't like the hopiang mongo, but the ensaymada was excellent! 11-4-2019

    Kepeng!  I really like it but please next time dont burn it
    Islymm S.

    I keep on coming back because of the kepeng but can I suggest pleaSe sometime the kepeng is over cooked its burn "sunog" so don't over cooked it, the pianono its super i like Well everything i like it

    Assorted Macaroons
    Samantha C.

    These are the best macaroons you will ever taste. My favorite are the Nutella filled ones. Very delicious and their price for the dozen is unbeatable.

    Purple yam rolls
    Felicia E.

    I happen to walk in here bc I smelled sweet bread. I was greeted by customers and employees because I am pretty sure many black people don't come in, bc it's an Asian bakery; but it was a pleasant experience. These purple yam rolls, Ooommmggg. I tasted it on my way out to my car,by the time I got to my car, I went back and bought another pack. So addicting. It comes with 6 rolls for $2.60.. not a bad deal. A lot of homeless people can be feed . Buy one for you and the other for someone less fortunate, so at least someone can enjoy the rolls like you will .

    Expiration date is 2/16, sad to say that I throw 3 pcs. of bread, there's mold already, please make it sure your DATE

    I was in Lomita and was looking for a place to grab coffee and pastries. While browsing Yelp, I was…read moresurprised to find out there was a Cream Pan nearby. I've always wanted to try their Orange County location but just never got around to it, so I was excited to finally give them a try. I walked in expecting it to be self-serve like 85 Degrees Bakery, but it's actually set up more like a donut shop or Porto's, where most of the pastries are displayed in a case and you tell the staff what you'd like. They do have a refrigerated self-serve section with sandwiches and onigiri, as well as a table with loaves of bread and buns. The ordering process caught me off guard because I usually like taking my time looking through all the pastries at bakeries. Since everything was behind the counter, I felt a little rushed with people waiting behind me. They have so many options that it can be a bit overwhelming. I also had to stop myself from ordering too much since I'm trying to cut back on carbs. Here's what I ordered: Hot Dog Bun - 4/5: Tasty with a soft, fluffy bun. I just wish it had a little more of that cheesy crust on top. Ham and Cheese Croissant - 3/5: My boyfriend ordered this and thought it was just okay. It was a little small for the price. Strawberry Cream Croissant - 5/5: They're known for this, and now I understand why. The pastry was light and flaky, the strawberries were sweet, and the custard was rich without being overly sweet. Spam Roll Onigiri - 4/5: I loved the egg, and it was really flavorful. It was served a bit cold, though. I think it would taste even better if it were kept under a heat lamp. Raisin Bun - 5/5: So soft and fluffy, with just the right amount of raisins. It was also a great value--six buns for only $4.20. Hot Vanilla Latte - 4/5: Strong with just a light sweetness. It was really good, but I think it could have been a little creamier. The prices were reasonable. I spent about $26 for everything, which I thought was a great deal. Customer service was excellent. Even though there was a line behind me, the staff never made me feel rushed while I decided what I wanted. The barista was especially friendly and even checked in afterward to ask if I liked my latte. If I'm ever back in the area, I would definitely come again.

After taking our order, the employee returned to chatting with coworkers. When our order was ready, our name was called, the halo-halo was placed on the counter, and that was the end of the interaction. As for the halo-halo itself, my partner rated it a 2/10. It was overwhelmingly sweet and overpriced for what we received. We were hoping for layers of flavor and nostalgia but got a sugar rush that could probably power a small city. As a business owner myself, I understand that customer service is one of the biggest drivers of customer retention. Great products can bring people in once, but great service brings them back. Unfortunately, this visit missed the mark on both. The good news? These issues are fixable. A little more warmth, engagement, and hospitality would go a long way. Until then, we'll continue our search for our next favorite halo-halo spot.

This time (yesterday), however, was not nearly the same experience. First of all, I realized we couldn't book a table for 8 people, so me and my friends book 2 tables for 8.30PM. I called asking if it's possible to put our tables together close or side by side, they said they will try their best. We all showed up at 8.30 and waited until around 9-9.15 because they only had 1 table ready. Ok. Come the time the other table opened and it's not even that close to each other. But it's okay, I respect the limitations on this part. No one came to us to take our order or even give us water until way later, and we got our drinks at 9.45. Another critique is that my friend called and ask how much corkage fee and they said $25. It turned out to be $40. Another disappointment, but it's ok. Not much can be done bout that part. Next thing is the food. We enjoyed the fried green beans. Crudo was really really salty, and it's not only 1 person thought that. We wondered if the kitchen mistakenly salted the fish twice. We enjoyed the peach salad. We ordered a few different pasta and the tagliatelle in particular was disappointing. It really lacked flavor that we had to mix the other pasta dish sauce to it. The pork plate was good, a bit small but we enjoyed it. Now the mussles and frites were disappointing too. The sauce just didn't do it for me (other friends agreed). I always talked really highly about Nonna Mercato (I also enjoyed the brunch so much) and always told people that this is one of my most favorite restaurants in Long Beach, but this one really missed the mark for me and my friends. I don't know if this would make us want to go to Summer Nights again next time. For $130 per person (after tax, tip, and corkage fees), I definitely hoped for a much better experience.
