I mainly drop by here for a quick bite of the egg rolls since they are $1.50 each. To note, Pay Cash if you can as the credit card transactions have a 4% fee. The location has a small amount of spots but you could park on Francesca street if you need to. I've come to Kalahi Bakery a few times over the years for turon, egg rolls, chicharron and other Filipino desserts. We've even ordered catering dessert trays for my mom's birthday a few years ago. They were very delicious. The location is small and can be cramped inside if crowded. They offer other items like refrigerated drinks, chips and other Filipino snacks. If you're looking for quick snacks, desserts or hot foods. Kalahi Bakery is a good option. ( ^_^)b read more

Kalahi Bakery needs to improve by being more honest and transparent with customers who appreciate their products and services. My sister purchased $85 worth of assorted sweets and pastries, only to discover that many of them were old, dry, and stale. It seems Kalahi sold leftovers from the weekend, which were not fresh. We individually tested a few pieces by breaking them apart and checking for taste and texture--what a huge disappointment! I advised my sister to return the items, file a complaint, and request a full refund. She responded, "For what?" implying that if they did it once, they've likely done this to 100 other customers over time. Kalahi, stop selling old, expired desserts! My sister said she will never purchase from this bakery again or trust their products in the future. I strongly recommend everyone avoid buying desserts after the weekend, or at least taste them thoroughly before leaving the store to ensure freshness. Thumbs down to Kalahi Bakery! Are there any other honest Filipino bakeries in the area that prioritize quality and customer trust? read more

Don't visit this area too often, so I was lucky to find this bakery on the way home. The bibingka reminded me of the kind my mom made with that castella like texture(spongy) but still a little dense. Pairing it with some cream cheese brought me so much happiness. It's no wonder that the people ahead of me in line were putting in large orders for baked goods. read more

The sweetest Filipino ladies work here! I rolled in early on a Saturday to get my friend chicharron. She specifically wanted it from this store. Even though it is 25 miles away, I was really curious to check this place out. They open daily early and looked fully stocked when I arrived. The large bags of two different kinds of chicharron were on one counter with bibinka, cassava cake, and garlic peanuts. In an adjacent case were puto and some other Filipino desserts. The variety was overwhelming because I wanted to get one of everything. I ended up getting bags of chicharron, garlic peanuts, and a sweet rice made with coconut milk and wrapped in a banana leaf. I didn't see prices on items for the most part but what I bought was reasonable. And the cashier was so sweet and friendly! She kept saying you came early and good thing so you can get what you want. I'm guessing they sell out of popular items. Parking couldn't be easier. There is plenty of parking in the lot and there were just a few cars in the lot. I'll definitely return to make my way through all of the yummy looking sweets. It's a bit of a drive but worth it.

I ordered some Turon. It comes with jackfruit and it was delicious. I had a big order so calling ahead is a good idea. The ladies are very helpful and so sweet. The ship is small so you have to squeeze inside. Fyi, it's best to bring cash to avoid a fee. read more

I was so glad to find this little Filipino bakery with home cooked dishes, and all the baked goods you might be looking for. I especially like this location because it's away from the commotion of the other crowded Pinoy plazas in WesCov. They not only have fresh food here but a wide selection of snacks, that if you grew up in a Filipino home, will bring you back to your childhood. My kids were happy to enjoy a box of bibinka and a nice delicious cup of halo halo. I definitely recommend coming here for that home style taste. The best part is a nice lola preparing the food in the back. read more

Kalahi Bakery is a must stop spot if you're craving Filipino baked goods. The store is tucked into a very small plaza, but since orders are made to go everyone is in and out. While passing through SoCal, my family always makes sure to grab a tray of empanadas to have as baon at work for the week. Among their savory foods, there's plenty of sweets like pastillas, crinkle cookies, and polvoron. The thing that really brings us in here every time is their turon. It's crispy and crunchy on the outside with soft and sweet banana and jackfruit on the inside. read more

We always like the Filipino Turon (Banana spring rolls), their turon are so tasty and crispy. We bought 24 pieces of turon today, each one costs $1.25. We also purchased the Ube Pandesal (purple yam bread rolls), which are moist and delicious. We placed the order in the morning but picked it up a bit earlier than our pick-up time. We waited for 10 minutes to pick up our turon. The place is small and outdated but we like their turon. read more

A small mom and pop for Filipino goodies! Located in small corner shopping plaza, you can find all sorts of snacks, meal items and desserts. I don't have much experience eating Filipino food, so I bought a bunch of things that I never tried before, because I was feeling adventurous (and was talked into it by the other customers and the employee who highly recommended some of the items. Hahaha) Honestly it feels like you're talking to family here, everyone is so nice. All the homemade signs and Knick knacks in the shop gave me the vibes of being at my parentshouse. Kind of messy, but homey. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, and I enjoyed everything I got (especially the Turon!), however my family didn't like the diuguan (pork stew) because it was too sour for their personal taste. read more

Kahali makes the best turon in West Covina! They are truly an institution, according to my friends and family who live in the area. They have a nostalgic cozy space with an extensive selection of kakanin (Filipino rice cakes), snacks, breads and other desserts. It reminds me of a panaderia combined into a sari-sari store. For a family event, my cousin and I ordered 2 dozen turon. I placed the order in advance via phone. Upon pick up at 11:30AM, I did not expect the turon to be fresh and piping warm from the fryer. The lady behind the counter has a great sense of humor, which made their service swift and homey. For two dozen, it is reasonably priced at $30. Cash is highly recommended since they do charge a percentage for credit/debit card transactions. Kalahi is my go-to spot for turon and other traditional Filipino desserts in West Covina! read more

Kalahi Bakery - Turon (2 dozen) - Bakeries Near Me - Walnut, California

The best turon! The family loves their turon. It's the perfect size, ratio of banana and langka is just right. I don't like langka but it is mild here and compliments the banana. It stays crispy all day long- so come early on holidays. It's a no frills, small store with free parking. Lots of other goodies there, too. Good kutsinta, empanadas, puto, ube biko, buko pie, buko pandan, etc. The service is great, they take the time to get your order. During the holidays, the line can be long. You can preorder or like me, go when it first opens. I was there at 7am Christmas Day and only 2 people ahead of me. Got my Turon and served at 2pm and by 8 pm only a few left and still crispy. Bring cash- they take cc but add a few percent. read more

Have been back here several times to order Turon (banana and jackfruit, wrapped like an eggroll and fried) for family parties. They're $1.25 each. I remember when they were only 50 cents each back in the 90's. Sigh... oh well. They're delicious and worth it. I was craving buko pandan (coconut gelatin dessert) today and came in for some. There was a line, and a little crowded, but it moved pretty quickly. There was only one person working the front (Lisa) and she was very patient and friendly. read more

I placed an order by phone on Friday and specifically confirmed the price for turon per piece. I spoke with Jenny, who quoted $1.45 each with no tax, and I placed an order for 55 pieces to be picked up on Sunday at 2:00 PM. When I arrived at the promised pickup time, I was made to wait more than 15 minutes before being assisted. I was then told the price was now $1.50 per piece. I tried to explain that I ordered with the expectation of the confirmed Friday price, but Alme or Aime or Amy (she said shw is the cashier) was very rude, defensive, and dismissive, and was playing on her phone while talking to me. I was told the owner changed the price on Saturday and would not honor my original order. If this order had not been for a company party, I would have canceled it and would not return. This is not about the money, but about the lack of professionalism and poor customer service, which was very disappointing. They made me wait 30 mins before the turon ready. Will never go back to this shop anymore. read more

Called to place an order, wait in line for a long time only for them to tell us they ran out and didn't save any even though we called earlier. No point in calling to reserve your baked goods. Honestly, it's better to take your business elsewhere and just make the drive to some place else the wait here is the same amount of time you would've driven to a better bakery. Plus their stuff isn't that good to be waiting that long. read more

Love getting a platter of their Turon for parties. They are such a crowd pleaser. The outside is crunchy like a thin glass texture from the sugar and inside is sweet plantain. They are able to stay crunchy for hours which is another great reason to have them at parties. read more

Went in at 7:50 AM. Door open and rang the bell twice. Had to go to work and nobody ever came out for me to order.

Definitely prices had gone up since my last visit. Have a variety of filipino baked goods and sweets: Pastillas Turon Hopia Sapin-sapin Bibingka Empanadas Dinuguan Lugaw Chicharon and many more Fast service and friendly staff Store is a hole in the wall where its location is not so visible from the main street.

My to go place for Filipino fried banana (turon). It's basically banana and slice jackfruit rolled in a spring roll wrapper and caramelized with outside. They are always hot and fresh. You can order in a big batch as well on the spot. The service is fast. They also sell other Filipino snacks in the store. But their Turon definitely the best!! read more

Kalahi Bakery - Turon - Bakeries Near Me - Walnut, California

My foodie friend introduced me to this place, and I'm already hooked on this place. As you walk through the doors of Kalahi Bakery, you will see a wide array of Filipino pastries, snacks, and more. You really get the small business, mom-and-pop shop feel of this place, which is wonderful. One of their best, well-known, must-get items is their Turon ! On first bite, your mouth will echo with the transcendent crunch as you break through the delicate, caramelized shell of their glazed, fried lumpia wrapper. Next you are introduced to the sweet core of the banana inside. Finally, all this sweetness is tamed by the tropical tinge of the jackfruit. After trying this bakery's "banana lumpia," there is a dangerous temptation to buy a bagful and snack on it all in a single sitting. I'll be visiting again for more of this item! read more

Interesting small mom and pop hole-in-the-wall Filipino bakery that I wouldn't have thought of stepping in if I didn't happen to be buying take out from next door. Saw customers frequent the bakery all the time while waiting for my takeout from next door so I popped in to take a look. Very unattractive interior with dry packaged food cluttering up 70% of the visual space. The remaining 20% is on the counter behind a clear shield with a few unattractive bakery goods and the remaining 10% is a small area with photos and words of other stuff they offered. I asked a customer what she likes here and she says everything is good and especially pointed out the empanadas ( not even displayed or out on the counter). After questioning the clerk on what everything is, I decided to risk it and ordered a couple of items. Everything I tried here was good. And l've been popping in almost weekly to see what they have on sale for the day. Offerings varies each and every time I've visited. But my all-time favorites/regular items I get are their empanadas (large and small sizes available- not heavy, oily or dry unlike other places, very addicting yet unassuming) and their sweet rice or cassava wrapped in leaves (I don't know what it's called but they are wrapped in leaves). I'm always back here to adventure for something new and never disappoints. No wonder they have a regular stream of Filipino customers who quickly come in and out, ordering what they know and want with ease. read more

Omg I used to come to this home town bakery all the time as a kid. While in the area, I wanted to stop by and taste their food again. We came on a Sunday morning and there was a small line forming, but service was quick and we did not have to pre-order! Happy to see this business thriving! The chicken empanadas and turon are exactly the same as how I remembered them. The food is so consistent after all these years and the best of the best. Literally have not found turon or empanadas like this anywhere else. Thank you for continuing to make a childhood favorite of mine and keeping the memories alive! read more

Kalahi Bakery - Large chicken empanadas and turon - Bakeries Near Me - Walnut, California

wanted to share my thoughts on the ambiance, particularly regarding the temperature conditions. Upon entering the store, I immediately noticed that there was no air conditioning, which made the atmosphere quite uncomfortable. With only one electric fan operating, the heat made it challenging to browse the food items for sale. Additionally, while waiting in line outside the door, I observed a situation that added to the frustration. A customer came to pick up a large order of 100 pieces of Turon, paid for but not available due to order confusion therefore no amount of Turon was ready. The cashier halted sales of Turon to accommodate this order, leading to delays. This situation, combined with the heat inside, caused several customers to leave feeling frustrated. As a customer, I was concerned about the impact of the temperature on the quality and safety of the food. It's crucial for food items to be stored and displayed in a properly controlled environment to meet health standards. I hope the management considers improving the air circulation and temperature control in the store to ensure a more pleasant shopping experience and to adhere to FDA regulations regarding food safety. Overall, the store has potential, but attention to the ambiance and customer service is essential for customer satisfaction and food safety. read more

Have been going here since I was little to always pick up turon for family parties and it's never disappointed. My mom always preordered and I love going in to pick it up because all the workers are so sweet and always make it known that they love seeing me each time! The turon is so fresh we have to keep the tray open for at least an hour so the turon doesn't get soggy ! I love also getting empanadas from here cause they're the best when they're warm. Whenever it's hot out and we're picking up I always get banana con yielo to cool down as well. read more

3.5 stars? Come on yelpers. Why? Nice clean location in Walnut border West Covina area. The service is fast and the staff there is friendly. There's no place to sit so you just order out. They have pre-made deserts, snacks, and drinks. I had the bibinka malagkit (sticky rice) which was great! It wasn't overly sweet. The texture of the rice was not too sticky. The turn is a deep fried desert with banana. It's glazed and coated with brown sugar. It was deliciously crispy. Perfect for my sweet tooth craving. 4.0 for me. Will come back when I'm in the area again. read more

My family have been going to Kalahi for more than a decade, and I can't think of a better Filipino bakery in the area. The workers/owners are so kind and hardworking that I can never say no to more baked goods and sweets! My go to is the small chicken empanada--the perfect snack for the road or appetizer for a gathering! We also regularly buy their turon and pandesal. The buko pie has also been a hit at our gatherings. They also offer all your favorite Filipino desserts like Sapin Sapin, Ube Halaya, Buko Pandan, and Halo Halo. And of course, they have plexi glass set up and are observing COVID safety measures, so that's always a plus. Support this small Filipino bakery! I would hate to see it ever go! read more

I went to order dinner to go at Chengdu next door and decided to stop in this bakery while waiting for my dinner. I'm so glad I stopped in. It's so hard to find a Filipino bakery especially one that makes puto, ube desserts and buko pie. This is a small store so let's support local ethnic businesses or else these delicacies will no longer be available. The storefront is very small so I think only a few customers can be in the store at a time. They are compliance with covid measures and have protective plexiglass up. They also require masks upon entry. Happy eating yelpers! read more

I've stumbled upon this bakery when I was in the area a few years ago. I've been coming here for only their Turon. It's my favorite and only only bakery I go to that makes Turon, to be honest. It is always freshly made and perfectly crispy and slight glazed. The plantain is nice and chunky. I haven't tried their other bakery because to be honest I don't know what it is. But it does look freshly made and there is always customers coming in and out. read more

Walnut, CA After about a 3 year break from this bakery, I returned for some large chicken empanadas (approximately $2 each) and turon and they were fresh hot and flavorful. Empanadas were still hot even after the 20 minute car ride to my destination to share these for lunch, and the turon was still warm, fresh and crisp. Both were a delight to share and eat. My secret weapon may be to continue to order by asking for the freshest hottest items they have in the back...led to a much better end result than what I remembered from my last visit several years ago. Service was quick and efficient. read more

Turon was good but $1.45 each seems steep. Couldn't taste the jackfruit. My credit card charge was more than what's on the official receipt. Doing some sleuthing here on yelp - turns out they charge 4% more. Agree with other people that they should disclose that and be upfront with it. Thus 3 less stars = 2 stars. For us, Pampanga's Bakery's $1 turon is a better deal and tastes very good too. read more

First time here for me but I've had their TURON from a friend and it's amazing. Make sure if u get it hot to open it up so it doesn't get soggy. Eat it right away for the best taste... They also have CHICHARRON which my mom calls "Killing me softly" . I wanted to try their other pastries like their yema and egg pie but next time. It's small and cozy but I can see if there's too many people it may get a little claustrophobic. If you like Filipino goodies, this place is definitely a good place to stop by. Oh and they have social distancing markers to help with pandemic precautions. read more
