I bought pork and chicken buns and a package of plum muffins they were moldy and the pork and chicken buns were not cooked all the way through. The inside was just slimy. Back when they first opened the food was excellent, it has really gone down hill. I will no longer shop there read more

I have 2 experiences with this bakery.. My first experience was over the phone.. I called and it rang a few times and when someone answered, it was unprofessional and I can tell I was on speaker.. They answered the phone with just a "hello" so I wasn't even sure I had the right phone number.. they were yelling to talk to me and kept asking me to repeat myself. I gave up and just went to the location to get some questions answered. When I got there.. I walked straight out. Place was so small, over crowded and can barely move. There was about 1-2 other customers in there. I was not greeted. It was poor lighting and not well ventilated... It's a small store as it is but the shelves and display tables in the front make it hard to get around read more

We ordered a lechon (roasted) pork belly from Lelac's Filipino Bakery for Christmas, and when I went to pick it up, it was obvious that the proprietors were really busy filling orders but they were still welcoming and processed my order quickly and efficiently. The lechon was good and the price was really reasonable for the amount we received; it made our Christmas this year a bit more festive. read more

Lelac's Filipino Bakery - Lechon (roasted) pork belly - Bakeries Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

We tried going to this place twice from So. Lake Tahoe. The first time on a Monday, only to find that they are closed on Mondays. Hours were not updated and called, but no message or anyone answering. Second time on a Thursday, only to friend that they DO NOT make any bakery or hot food items - only on Saturdays. Their so called "market" was very disappointing having only some "junk food items" such as shrimp chips and prepackaged pastries. We wasted time and gas for disappointment. Not worth it unless you are a desperate Filipino with no other viable options in this area. read more

So disappointing! Saw mixed reviews, wanted to give it a shot. The Ube bread was moldy and had to be thrown out. I got there right when they opened and all the hot prepared food already had a film over it. There is a small grocery section with some chips and pantry items, but nothing big enough to make it worth going back. I hope if the owners read this they take some action, this place could be great with some cleaning and more attention to their in house made food. read more

After running errands in Sparks, I checked out a cute little Filipino Bakery, Lelac's. The store is small, and is a takeout kinda place. I was immediately greeted by a sweet young man, who was friendly and very helpful. He explained what everything was, as I pointed to each and every item which was foreign to me (pretty much everything in the bakery). I settled on kepeng (pastry with brown sugar) and pan de ube (pastry filled with sweet purple yam). He kindly offered me a sample of the ginataang (creamy dessert with coconut milk, tapioca, yam, sweet potato, two kinds of banana and jackfruit). I think the ginataang was my fav. Everything was good (I sorta sampled a bit of everything immediately). There were pork buns, chicken buns, breads, sweets, and grocery items (such as coconut jam--whaaaaaa?). Lot parking is available right in front of the store. I really liked this little place. I would recommend it and will defiantly return. read more

It was ok, needs more flavor though. The mother attended to me and she was really nice. The other one there, I think daughter or daughter in law, didn't even say hi and just stayed there making the old lady work! She seemed rude. Good thing the old lady is there because if not, I think that place will die. read more

Maybe since I came in early morning, that's why there was hardly anything to choose from. There was only maybe 5-6 different baked goods to choose from, and only 2-3 packages each thing. I got the pan de ube and was so excited to try it! But once my husband and I finally did, it was 95% bread and 5% ube with each thing. Each bite we took was literally all bread. I was disappointed since some of the pictures on here showed a lot of purple yam in their bread. I will definitely still come back because I saw they had banana ketchup which I love! And some Filipino chips I grew up eating. Not sure yet if they do small orders of their food, I only saw full size tray prices. read more

Lelac's Filipino Bakery - This is the pork belly I ordered from Lelac's bakery! It's still raw inside! And they gave it to us raw! My niece has to recooked it! - Bakeries Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

Horrible customer service. I went in today and asked to order lumpia to pick up tomorrow or Thursday. The elderly lady wouldn't even look at me to talk to me. Told me she couldn't make it because they ran out a couple days ago and wouldn't make any more. The whole time she was talking to me, or barely talking to me, she was rolling lumpia while putting her fingers in her hair and wiping her nose. I don't think I'll ever order from here again. What makes me irritated is I've ordered from them many times in the past, and never encountered this before. read more

Their food is ok, some days were good and some days I visited were bad, doesn't taste freshly baked. And as I understand a lot businesses are short staff after covid, but it doesn't means you have to be rude to customers. Never understand why people in service industry with bad attitude, that's just sad. Won't support this kind of business personally. Guess I have to always drive to Reno for a good and family friendly bakery. read more

Sparks has a cool new Filipino bakery. And Honey Bakery in Reno has a competitor for steamed and baked buns. Lelac opened June 1 but I didn't notice it until yesterday. They have Filipino baked goods, like something with sweet yams. As a gringo, I loved the cream cheese roll with the fruit filling. They also have steamed and baked buns. I got a steamed bun with pork adobo. They also have chicken adobo. My baked bun had a variety of ingredients. The dough was perfect on all of them. They have sticky rice too, but I passed on that. The employee said they hope to add a steam table soon to offer hot items. A sign says their goods are offered at several Asian stores in the Reno area and Lake Tahoe read more

Nice little bakery specializing in FIlipino breads. Since keeping inventory fresh is a priority, everything is baked in small batches to ensure quality. I love siopao (pronounced shoe pow), which is basically a steamed bun with your choice of pork or chicken inside of it. The version they make here are massive. Best way to eat these are to keep them refrigerated, then wrap in a wet paper towel and nuke for about 2 minutes and they come out steaming hot and tasty. They have a small steam table and have a handful of dishes. As is what seems to be a standard practice in every Filipino restaurant, none of the dishes were labeled, so it was a guessing game to figure out what each dish was. The owner was very helpful. I ended up with some yummy pancit, jasmine rice and some sort of lechon (roast pork) dish. Everything was really good. My only recommendation for improvement would be more labeling of food (so people who aren't so familiar with the food won't have to ask questions about every dish) and listing pricing. I had no idea what things cost until I was ready to pay for things. read more

This quaint little shop is our go to place for some of the best empanadas around. For those of you that are not familiar with empanadas or maybe wondering what they are.... The Filipino empanada is made with chicken and has different vegetables like potatoes, green peas, carrots encased in a delicious outer pie crust shell that has a sweet tasting glaze over the top... I guess you could compare it as a travel sized chicken pot pie :) While you're here picking up your empanadas, don't forget to pick up some Pan de Ube rolls and some Pan de Coco rolls to take home to possibly share with others...Lol :) If bakery items are not in your appetite, then be sure to check out their food menu which has a fantastic selection of non bakery items to choose from. If you talk to to Ken, tell him I sent you here :) Ken is great and is very catering to his customers; has great knowledge of all the items on the menu. read more

Great customer service, super friendly staff and good food. Must go on a Saturday because they have more food options.

Super rude customer service. An employee who was sitting by the hot food never once acknowledged us the entire time we were in the store We put our bread on the counter next to the register and it took 5-7 minutes until we were rung up. No one else was in the store. Hospitality and customer service was horrible. Bread wasn't even fresh. Will never return. read more

Came here a week ago with high expectations based on the stars here on Yelp. We bought pan de ube, spanish bread, cheese roll, hopia, siopao and a rice cake. As soon as I got to the car, I opened up the bag of pan de ube and was very disappointed. It was dry and it barely had any filling! I proceeded to open the other bags of bread to try them, and all I can say is that I wanted to throw them out in the garbage. All of the breads were dry, had LITTLE to NO filling, and the hopia pastry was undercooked. The only thing that we enjoyed at that very moment was the rice cake that was nice and warm since it just came out of the oven when we got there. The siopao was also good, the bun to filling ratio was perfect... surprisingly. Needless to say, I won't be returning to buy bread from them anymore. Maybe siopao... Just maybe. read more

I ordered food for a birthday. The food was good, but it was 2 hours late and that ruined my party. As much as i hate to encourage micromanaging, if you do order from here, definitely follow up more than once and make sure everything is in order and on time. I'd prefer to order from Manila Hong Kong. read more

As a working Mom, it saved me from cooking & eating home-cooked savory Filipino dishes! Thanks Lelac's!

I came back during the morning time. My husband and I bought chicken siopao, which was pretty tasty and a Filipino dessert (Sticky coconut rice at the bottom with brown sugar caramel on top.) Unfortunately, this dessert was subpar for the hubby. He took 1 bite and gave up on it. We'll try it again sometime....reluctantly The sign on the door says open til 6:30. I was there at 5:30pm and it was closed. I'll be happy to re-review this restaurant after I try it. But as for now, I'm disappointed that they closed way before time read more

I'm filipino and wanted to get a bunch of filipino desserts. Upon entering, the shelves where they have their bakery items was almost bare. There wasn't much items to choose from. I ended up getting pandesol, pandesol with ube inside, and their version of manapua. Sadly, they were all not to my liking. Not sure how long they were sitting on the shelves but they definitely didn't taste fresh. I was a little more upset that they didn't have any sweet desserts. The place was almost empty. read more

Oredered 2 separate 50lb pigs for 2 special occasions and was very satisfied. The owners Mom I think was very nice. We arrived late to place our order they were closed when we arrived but she came back and unlock the doors just so we can place our 2 day notice for a 50 pounder. Long story short they pulled through like always. 5 star bakery. read more

Be prepared for disappointment. Made an order for next day pick up. Came in, left empty handed. My order wasn't made, even tho' order request was on the list for pick up. Frankly, I believe they didn't want to be bothered with the large order. read more

My family and I have come here several times...and we each have our favorites..mine are the chicken empanadas. They just started serving hot food...small quantities to maintain quality. We love it here. read more

Yelp needs negative stars! They lie and are deceptive. I asked if they made any bread that did not contain wheat. The lady said the Pan de Coco contained no wheat. That it was only made with coconut flour. Not true it has wheat!!!! Deceptive sellers need to go out of business don't they understand people have food allergies! read more

Great Filipino food when they serve it on Saturdays. I really enjoy it. Best Filipino food in the region for sure.

Food is definitely good just had dinner with some relatives and they bought a couple of different breads it's so good.

Came from San Diego to visit Family. Found out there was a Filipino bakery nearby, so I figure I'd try it out. Great customer service, even better food ended up talking to the staff there for almost an hour... overall good experience. Definitely up there with Valerie's Bakery. read more
