We have been here multiple times, on the weekend and weekdays. Sometimes parking can be a little…read morebit difficult but we usually get lucky and find one pretty close to the shop. Our favorite is the chocolate concha. It is crisp, fresh, and has the slightest sourdough flavor. I tried the dona one time and while it was great. It was just too much for me. Literally, we had to bring it home. I would suggest splitting this because of its size and it has a lot of almond and jam so it's hefty. I also tried their jamon which was sooooo good. I would get this again. For drinks we have tried their Atole, Dulce de Leche and Horchata with Cold Brew. My new favorite is the Horchata. It is so well complimented by the cold brew and it's so smooth and not too sweet. My husband also liked the taste he tried but he went with my now second favorite the Dulce de Leche. What I love about this place is that everything is balanced. Its not too much of anything just perfect. The concha isn't too sweet. It's balanced by the sourdough which is complex. The coffees which anywhere else would be a sugar bomb are just right. The sugar highlights the brilliance of whatever it is paired with whether that is bread or coffee.

We went early to make sure they weren't sold out of anything we wanted. We got a good variety and ended up eating the entire box outside before leaving. Top pics would be Doña, Nixtamal Queen, Alfajor de Neuz, and the Brie and Ham Sandwich. My wife got the matcha which was fantastic and I got the Atole latte which was perfectly creamy and not overly sweet. We even got some the morning we left town to make sure we had some to eat back home. Can't wait to be back

The Lemon Lavender Pie was a little too subtle on lavender. The Key Lime Pie lacked that tart, tangy punch. Unfortunately, the overall flavors felt a bit underwhelming, especially considering the price point and relatively small slice sizes. On the positive side, the service was friendly, and the shop had a cozy atmosphere with board games available for customers to enjoy. Seating inside is limited, and parking can be a bit of a challenge.

This review has actually been long overdue. I've been ordering from S&W even before they opened…read moretheir brick and mortar. Their bread and pastries are always good quality and very nostalgic. Even though I'm not a Filipino, the flavor of their goodies are very similar to where I'm from. I think I might have tried (almost) all stuff they have in store. Some of my favorites are bibingkas (never go wrong with this), any weekend special donuts (ube or cream "cheese" filled donuts), ube cheez pandesal and cakes. I also like their pop tarts but they usually get sold out pretty fast. Their staff are always nice and personable. Check their instagram for any special items or any other updates (such as if they're sold out fast, or if there's any discount or if there's a long line). I'd suggest to eat their bread items on the day of. The other non-bread stuff are still good even after a few days. Typically weekends are busier, especially due to their weekend specials that are hard to miss!

When it was my turn to order , they were already out of Spanish bread. I was left with the bibingka , and coconut , black sesame and pandas swisher buns. Overall they're just MEH!! I don't understand what's the hype about? The goodies were al dry and not fluffy. I have had better baked goods that were home made and more flavorful. I don't think I will be back. Other Filipino bakeries are way better and home made stuff are even better. TRUST.

I chose a slice of ube cheesecake creme brûlée ($6), which he freshly brûléed the top before packaging it to go. My daughter saw the slice in the fridge, asked if she could have some and then proceeded to eat the majority of it because it was THAT good. When it was my turn, I could see why she couldn't stop eating it. It was delightfully light and not too sweet. It's probably going to be one of my favorite things I've eaten in 2026! This little bakery is definitely worth seeking out if you're in Long Beach!

I went to this bakery for a Cinnabon because I kept seeing people ranting and raving about it on…read moreTikTok. When I saw it, it wasn't really giving Cinnabon.. it was giving sticky bread. I still gave it a chance. It was okay, but it didn't have enough cinnamon for me. It reminded me of a Little Debbie honey bun warmed up with heavy cream. I was looking for a thick, gooey, soft center Cinnabon moment, and it just wasn't that. I took two or three bites and passed on it. We also got the marble coffee cake, the cashier recommended it, and he did his big one because it was excellent. We got cinnamon crisps too, and those were super good kind of churro like but crispier, almost like a tortilla chip but not really. Delicious though. We grabbed snickerdoodle cookies, but they weren't giving snickerdoodle, more like sugar cookies. Good, just not snickerdoodle. There were so many dessert options that it took us about 15 minutes to decide. I probably should've gotten the lemon cake or carrot cake instead of the Cinnabon. If I go back, I'm definitely trying a cake. But if you have a sweet tooth, they have tons of options and indoor seating, which is nice.

IF YOU ARE COMING HERE FOR THE CINNAMON ROLLS, DONT!…read more I've been on a hunt for the best cinnamon rolls in LA and this place kept popping up as one of the best. I'm going to explain in detail why this just isn't true. First, it's cash only. So if you decide to ignore my review and come, make sure you have cash. I got the cinnamon which was very huge. But I asked for the frosting on the side as I heard the frosting was insanely sweet and ruins the cinnamon roll. Honestly the cinnamon roll by itself was a lot better than with the frosting. The cinnamon roll was soft and had good flavor but just a bit overwhelming. I felt over it after 1 bite. So I added some of the frosting and WOOOOOOW it doesn't have flavor. Just pure sugar only. Yes cinnamon rolls are a dessert and sweet but this was like I drank pure sugar water. I tossed that frosting. No way people actually eat that. Do yourself a favor and go to cinnaholic down the street for a MUCH BETTER cinnamon roll Parking is metered and hard to find

I've always been a fan of Colossus for the bread, pastries, and coffee, so I was really excited to…read moretry the new dinner menu. I'm happy to say it's a perfect extension of everything I already love about the bakery. It has the same attention to quality and simplicity, just in a dinner format. Everything we ordered was delicious. The lamb souvlaki was tender and full of flavor, the pizza had a great crust (no surprise there), and the crispy mushroom confit polenta was probably one of my favorite dishes of the night. Don't skip dessert either. The chocolate budino was rich without being too heavy, and their peach "Mess"--their take on an Eton mess--was light, fresh, and the perfect way to end the meal. The service was warm and attentive, and I thought the pricing was really reasonable for the quality of the food. It's not often that a place you already love for breakfast and coffee successfully expands into dinner, but Colossus absolutely nailed it. We'll definitely be back.

This place is GOATED. They have the best brownie bites in the city. All their flavors are so good…read moreand buttery. The price for the amount you get - whether it's small or large - is really good. I've tried all their flavors, which they have a variety of. They have ube, espresso, matcha, pandan, strawberry, chocolate, and ube chocolate. If you order a small, you only get to choose one flavor but for a medium/large, you can choose more flavors. I have yet to try their cookies and drinks but I'm sure they taste as good!

Was near Foodologie the other day and couldn't get there in time and their amazing cookies have…read morebeen on my mind since then. Today was the day to right that wrong. Went with the ube and a white chocolate macadamia. Of course both were delicious. One major caveat though-you MUST get them warmed up. Last time I had their cookies they were warm and I fell in love. This time I thought I would eat it later so I declined. Well, of course once I got the cookies in my mitts I had to have a bite or two. Initially, I was completely disappointed, and thought this can't be right. I was going to ask the friendly staff if they could warm it up, but that seemed weird since I had already broken off a couple of bites. Took my ube home, quick 15 second warm up and it was back to perfection. Rookie mistake on my part and I won't do it again. While I was in the store I nearly ended up buying a load of cute items, that I thought I absolutely must have. Showed some restraint, but I can't guarantee I will be able to again.

A great alternative to Porto's!…read more I bought a wide variety of empanadas here, including the breakfast and burrito flavors, and they were all incredibly savory and delicious. You have the option to buy them frozen to save for later, but they honestly taste best when you eat them fresh right at the bakery. A quick tip if you order online: Make sure to go straight to the front and let one of the many employees know you are there for a pickup. They only call out names for in-person orders, so you'll be waiting a while if you don't speak up! I also tried their new seasonal sandwich--the pulled pork melt and the very popular nonseasonal sandwich crispy chicken sandwich. Both were very filling and packed with flavor. Just make sure to eat these fresh, as they will likely get soggy if you try to save them for later. They have a great selection of desserts and coffee drinks that I didn't have room for this time, but I'll definitely be saving those for my next trip to Long Beach. If you're looking to try something a little different from the usual spots like Porto's, I highly recommend checking this place out. I will definitely be returning to try more flavors!

My partner and I visited OBRA HandBakery for brunch after our marathon and this was a solid choice…read more It's quite the small shop with seating on the counter and 3 tables on their outside patio area. Parking - Free in a shared large parking lot, plentiful We were both intrigued by their potato balls, empanadas, and breakfast burrito in which we ordered 4 potato balls (2 chicken/2 beef), 2 empanadas (1 chicken, 1 beef), and 1 breakfast burrito to share. Our order came out in about 10 minutes or so, not too busy. Total came out to about $42 which is quite expensive for the amount of items in my opinion. 1. Potato Balls - By far my favorite menu items from the visit, they weren't as crispy/crunchy as Portos but they're bigger. Portions are big and it's filled with your choice of filling, very delicious, highly recommend 9/10 2. Empanadas - Usually I love empanadas but these were a bit disappointing on my end. They were softer than empanadas that I usually have, although delicious still but definitely not my favorite from the bakery. 6.5/10 3. Breakfast Burrito - Talk about portions, this breakfast burrito is loaded with ingredients, eggs among many other ingredients, super flavorful and savory. It does have a bit of a kick to it which adds to the taste, pretty good! 8.5/10 Overall, a solid brunch spot, although a bit expensive, it's still worth to check them out. Pretty decent tasting potato balls, breakfast burrito is big in portion and delicious as well, along with their empanadas which can be a hit or miss depending on the style of empanadas you like. Definitely a good spot for a snack even if you're in the area.
