I recently visited this cake and pastry shop and was pleasantly surprised. Pretty decent selection. A little something for everyone. There's a decent variety of cakes, pastries, and smaller treats, ranging from classic options to more unique/traditional flavors (I'm assuming filipino). The display cases were well organized with price tags clearly visible and the counters and seating areas were clean and tidy. The presentation of the pastries were also pretty neat and organized. As a matter of fact, the entire time I was eating my meal, my server was going around cleaning up various areas and restocking. I always appreciate a good worker and a clean environment. My server was also very helpful in describing the menu to me, and had greeted me with a smile upon entering. Thanks Kathleen! As for the bathroom, it was alright, but not exceptional. It was functional and had the essentials aka soap and a hand dryer, but it could benefit from some improvements. Urinal was completely out of order and toilet was a bit weak. I suggest implementing a paper towel system instead of the hand dryer. Much more sanitary that way. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by my visit. I left thinking I'd found a great "hole-in-the-wall" bakeshop, only to later find out that it's actually a fairly popular asian bakery chain! Wild. Definitely try it out. read more

The warmer weather today had us craving halo-halo! So, we decided a quick stop into Red Ribbon was what we needed. The Bakeshop is always clean and organized. I was tempted to pick up some packaged bakery treats, but held firm and only ordered the 2 halo-halo's for me and my husband. It wasn't a day to share. Lol. I liked how Red Ribbon had a Fresh Free Sample display for Choco Mousse for you to try! Nice! The cashier was friendly and served me with a smile. The halo- halo was not as sweet as I prefer, but it was still a tasty Filipino treat with the traditional fixings. My husband enjoyed his halo-halo but did mention it could have been creamier. Wondering now if it needed more evaporated milk. Hmmm? Nonetheless, halo-halo on a warm weather day hit the spot! read more

The palabok is an absolute must-try at Red Ribbon Bakeshop! The arroz caldo is our second favorite. They have lots of pastry and cake options available; just keep in mind they're made at production facilities rather than in-house. Straightforward, fast-casual cafe with a bright, vibrant aesthetic. Looking forward to trying the halo-halo next time! read more

Been a bit since I have had palabok and was recommended to try Red Ribbon. Great location to quickly get in and out of parking right out front (handicap accessible as well). Very friendly staff quickly took my order and had food out in short order. Chicken empanada and palabok were good and the ube iced milk was amazing! I should have tried the amazing selection of cakes as well, but was full from my meal and saving that assorted collection of greatness for next visit! Quiet location with some great tunes to listen to while devouring your favor Red Ribbon delicacy! read more

We wandered in with no idea what we were going into... This is a small Filipino bakery with some unique pastries inside I had never heard of and a small menu with other items. They have an entree and cake option you can purchase and a limited menu. It was spotless inside, lots of seating and very clean tables. No one else was inside while we were here for about 5 minutes so it was dead and we just sort-of browsed for a bit. They have some cakes and desserts in a display case and you can order specialty and personalized cakes with pictures on them as well as combos with dinner and cakes. I wanted to try the mamons but, we left with just a brownie since we'd just eaten at the nearby Greek restaurant. The brownie was fresh, soft, and delicious. Very chocolatey and my husband loved it. (He eats a lot of brownies so that means something, lol) Gal working behind the counter was nice and friendly. read more

So excited that this location is just off highway 64. This gave us the opportunity to pickup some yummy food on our way home from the beach. I used the preorder feature on their website. I love the customer service of this location. I was running late for my 9am pickup time and Leslie phoned me to tell me my order was ready and empanadas were getting cool. I was so grateful for their call. The location has ample parking. My food was still hot. They had a sample box of fresh and hot empanadas. I enjoyed a sample of the spicy chicken. It was so good that I bought a couple more. The location is spacious and clean. Lots of inventory of sweet and savory ensaymadas, empanadas and sandwiches. I order a couple plates of their Palabok, as well as ensaymada and empanada. Check their webpage for coupons. read more

The mango cake is amazing. It's light airy and very tasty. Every time I come back to VA Beach I want to grab one.

The staff is always friendly and patient, the palabok and cakes are my favorite especially the tiramisu cake! The inside is clean and spacious. read more

When a Yelp Friend learned about my quest for anything Ube he told me about this Bakery. It was one that I hadn't located in my previous searches. So it was added to my list. I accidentally arrived at a PT Appointment really early, confusing the time with a different appointment. There was just enough time to get to Red Ribbon & back. The Bake Shop is located at Kemp's River Crossing which is an extensive shopping center occupying the northeast side of the intersection of Kempsville & Indian River Roads. It's easily accessible by both the surface streets & the I-64 Indian River Road exit. The center is modern, well maintained & contains an extensive mix of shops and eateries. The store included more than just its extensive baked goods section. There are prepared meals available including family size meals. Chicken Empanadas are a special deal, buy 6 get one free. It was difficult to decide between the choices available for a new Ube Bakery Good to try. My choice was Ube Mamons, which were also buy 6 & get a Butter Mamon free. They are a light sponge cake style delight that suits my taste buds well. One major temptation was the Ube Overload Cake, which looked absolutely yummy. But I knew it wouldn't fall into my calorie count rationing. Sigh...... The store was busy and appeared to be a popular takeout dinner spot. The employees were friendly and helpful. My purchase was based on their explanation of the consistency of the items I was considering. If it wasn't a bit longer from my house I might have chosen one of each & returned for a supply of my favorite. read more

So I just came from one filipino restaurant right in the same shopping center so I knew I had to stop by Red Ribbon. Red Ribbon is chain Bakery from the Philippines known by many filipinos. Red Ribbon makes the best Pancit Palabok and Mango Cake in town. Trust me on this one. It's a Filipino bakery that specializes in cakes, snacks, pancit, arroz caldo, empanadas, etc. I got the cheese and yema caramel bread and the employee said the yema batch was on sale today ( I noticed tomorrow was the expiration date). So Why not? Yema is like caramel made from condensed milk i believe.She threw in a free yema ensaymada for me. That was awesome service! I always order their mango cake for special occasions cause its sooooooo good! I Never gets tired of it and its Rich mango filling with light whipping cream. Its a must try! read more

My favorite go to for cakes. I'm so happy they are doing well and is still here. The place is just enough size but noticeably clean. We came almost close to the end of the day so the offering is meager. But the cashier lady is sweat and patient with me. I have ordered a birthday cake and she did great with the writing. Seeing all the cakes and other products kind of lighten my cravings for all that cakes I love when I was in The Philippines . They have mango cake, ube, mocha, toffee, coffee crumble, and lots more. Every each time I try their cakes it's so authentic in taste, flavor and looks just like how they made in The Philippines . They are offering fresh and generous serving egg sandwiches and the tuna as well. We truly enjoyed everything. We also bought some mocha mamon. Love it. For sure we will be coming back here. Thanks Red ribbon. Salud. read more

Exceptional quality and service! The moment you walk in, you're greeted by a clean, inviting atmosphere and a wonderful selection of fresh empanadas and variety of pastries. Everything I've tried has been delicious, especially the cakes and pastries. Leslie is courteous, professional, and always willing to help with recommendations. This bakeshop has become one of my favorite places, and I will continue to recommend it to friends and family! read more

I have been a longtime customer for years now and this is my absolute go to place for when I vacation in VB! Mango Supreme is delicious, but their new Tiramisu is even better! I got to try the new 6-piece chicken ensaimada promo for 19$, which is such a great deal! Normally, they are nearly 30$ a box. My server my past few visits has been Kathleen and she is so kind polite and softspoken which is such a refreshing change from the usual rude or robotic service I often get from teenagers these days.. All the staff here are so kind and friendly.. I wish Laguna Bakery next door could take some notes... I am hoping they will introduce more drinks and different types of coffee someday. read more

Red Ribbon Bakeshop never misses. Everything tastes fresh, smooth, and perfectly balanced. Their cakes are on another level--light, fluffy, and not overly sweet, just how it should be. The ube items especially are crazy good and always hit the spot. Service is quick, the store is clean, and the staff treats you like family. Whether you're grabbing a slice or taking home a whole cake, Red Ribbon always delivers. I'll keep coming back for sure. read more

HORRIBLE PLACE!! Maybe they just hate me, but every time I come here (visiting family -maybe 2-3 times a year) they tell me to wait 15 minutes. They serve the people who come after me the same damn chicken empanadas and 30 minutes later, they say 7 more minutes!! WTF?! Costumers came after me, got their damn empanadas, sat down had their meals and left and I'm still waiting?!? WOW! Do better! And we're stuck listening to lame kpop music. read more

It's a typical red ribbon with all the things you typically see. It was clean and spacious. They have tables if you prefer to sit and dine. We love their UBE and Cheese ensymada. read more

I'm mad with every single one of my Filipino friends that have been holding out on me since RR opened in this area! Your punishment is to supply me with chicken empanadas from their OUTSTANDING establishment for the next month...that'll do it . Ok so the details: parking =plentiful it's in a strip mall you can't go wrong. There's dine in options but most people were grabbing and going just like me. When i got there the line had three people in it, and by the time i left (about 10 mins later) the line was near the door! They have all sorts of baked goods and food on the menu but I'm here to rave about one thing and one thing only- and that's the best empanada in the 757. I said it- and I stand on it until one of you proves me wrong! read more

I've been on an ube kick so when i saw Red Ribbon i knew i needed to see what they had... They had several cake options and a few ube options. They also sell a few noodle options and breads as well as halo halo. There are also whole cakes for sale. I got the ube cake for $6. For the size it was slightly over priced. But the cake was pretty good. It tasted like ube and coconut. I'm sure I'll return to try other things on the menu. Check them out!! read more

We ordered the typical Filipino treat (unofficial National dessert of the Phillipines) - Halo-halo which are icees made with evaporated milk, and fruit preserves and other goodies. These are made fresh when you order them so be patient. Ours were delicious. At $7 seemed pricey but as soon as you take the first bite you forget what you paid. The employees are always very friendly and quick to help with any requests. Definitely a spot we will be back very soon. read more

*PLEASE NOTE: This review is strictly for the mamons and the mamons only. My first experience at Red Ribbon Bakeshop (RRB) was when we were stationed in Hawaii. I first got hooked on their mamons at the RRB kiosque located inside the Seafood City Supermarket, a Filipino grocery store in Waipahu. When we moved back here, I was so happy to see that there was a RRB here and I believe it's the only one in the area and the only one in the state. I honestly haven't tried anything else here, but I LOVE their mamons. Mamons are basically sponge cakes, light and fluffy, in the shape of a small tart, individually wrapped. They remind me of the Korean castella sponge cakes. I have tried all of their flavors except for the cheese. My fave is definitely the butter, but mocha is my second fave (very subtle coffee flavor but perfect) and ube comes in third. To be honest, the ube doesn't really taste like ube, but the bright purple color is just fun to eat. Pro tip: buy any six mamons, get one free. Parking - center lot, spaces are tight though. Note: There is a door to enter and a door to exit. Don't try to do the opposite. I guess it's probably more evident when it's busy, but I tried to go out through the entrance and learned the long way. Service has always been courteous. They have other Filipino goods like other breads, empanadas and full sized cakes for special occasions. Again, the ube anything is so intriguing because it's SO purple. I just stick to the mamons because I love them so much. They are the perfect little snack or morning cake with your coffee. There are tables to sit and enjoy your treats there if you'd like! Stay safe, Friends! read more

Bad management and service. Manager can't even decide to replace one of the bread missing from their Christmas gift pack deal going on. All of the breads are available except for one but refused to let us buy it. We even offered to just replace it with a brownie but she said they can't make it. What's the purpose of having that poster up and even promised it if you don't even have them? That's just sad. Drove 5 hours just for that and it's such a waste of time. read more

Beware. You come here to taste some deliciousness. I did, and I left with two large bags of mamon, cakes, and pancit palabok. This famous Philippine bake shop is legit. Come down just beware of the temptation. Service is friendly and professional. Ambiance is calm and peaceful. I will come back for the mix-mix. If you don't know what O talking about then you are missing the best iced dessert in the Philippines read more

Had everything I wanted this year. Even got empanadas. Not too dry. But very crumbly. I like the free bag with 50$+ purchase but wish it was one bag per every 50$ spent not every order. I should have made my order in 50$ installments to maximize free bag acquisition. The urinal was out of order but at least their toilet still worked. It looked like it had potential to clog easily. Employees were friendly enough. read more

This review is based on the things I ate, if I was ever in town again; I would give it another chance. One of my friends recommended I try out this bakery because it was a Filipino bakery. My friends and I came here early in the morning.. although I wanted Halo Halo, I was just waking up and figured I actually needed some food first. We got the Beef empanada and Chicken empanada. Sadly, they didn't have anymore of the Spicy Pork empanada. The chicken empanada was made with shredded chicken, and was ... pretty dry. There was a weird taste to it but perhaps that's just how they make it taste in the Philippines. The beef empanada was slightly better as it wasn't dry. I wish I had ordered the Halo Halo when I was there, maybe it would've been really good. read more

They have cakes that are good, my fave is the sansrival cake which has layers upon layers of thin meringue layers alternating with pure butter frosting. You have to try it, description won't do it justice. This place offers commonly sought after Filipino food items like: mamon, ensaymada, ube cake, empanadas (slightly overpriced for the size), mani (egg noodle soup), pancit pakabok, halo halo. You can order for delivery through grub hub. I got my surprise ube birthday cake delivered with a nice happy birthday greeting from the Grubhub driver. read more

cakes are very over priced empanadas ore good for 2 bites for $3.69 not worth the travel to this place.

Super friendly staff. Nice and clean. Everything tastes good. I still have more to try, but I keep getting my favorites. My favorites: halo-halo, mango supreme cake, arroz caldo, palabok, cheese mamon, Ube overload cake. If they had sinigang, I'm sure I'd love it too! read more

Been wanting to come here for awhile and have to say I was impressed. I thought it would just be a small bakery but when I parked, I saw that it looked huge with places to eat inside almost like a McDonald's! The line was long but clearly the staff were working hard, letting us to know to order the empanadas in advance. I decided to try the butter mamon and the mango supreme and wow, my picky Asian parents were pleasantly surprised at how light and not too sweet the items were! The mango cake especially was how I wish more bakeries made their sponge cakes- fluffy and moist, with a good ratio of cream to cake. The fresh mango bits on top were tasty and visually pleasing as well. Want to try some ube items next time! read more

Red Ribbon Bakeshop is a Filipino fast food franchise that was brought to US from the Philippines. This fast food/bakeshop is known for their Mango cake, Ube cake, Black Forest cake, and Mocha cake. Some of the pastries they serve are Ensaimadas (sweet bread with butter and cheese on top), Pandesal (similar to dinner rolls), Mamon (Filipino Sponge Cake), and many more. Other than their breads and cake, Red Ribbon also serve Pancit Palabok (a kind of Pancit that has sauce), Arroz Caldo (Filipino Congee), and my favorite dessert, Halo-Halo (a cold iced dessert with a lot of ingredients). Among all the Filipino fast foods franchise that were originally from the Philippines, I enjoy their Palabok and Halo-Halo compared to the others. Their Palabok is very flavorful especially if you ask for extra lemon juice. The price is a little more expensive than most Filipino restaurants, but i feel like other than their food, Filipinos come here for a more familiar environment and to remind them of "home" Most of their staff are bilingual and can speak both English and Tagalog, which is a plus. It gives you more of a Filipino feel and experience. They are also very friendly and respectful. Like what I said earlier, Red Ribbon will always remind me of growing up in the Philippines. No matter how good or bad my experience is, I will always go back to this restaurant. read more

Perfect treat for a hot summer day. Nice size portions of halo-halo and the flavors just meld together so nicely. They have other snacks and breads and deserts (I'd recommend the mango cake if you're in the mood to splurge a little). The seating was sufficient for a small bakery/restaurant shop. A little pricey at almost $8/each. But a nice treat once in a while. Service was pretty fast too for being so busy on a weekend. Would def recommend you check out! read more

I'm a Latina in love with this bakery.. I love everything about it but it I must admit that the service is pretty bad :( I been there many many times and every time the person at the register is always in a bad mood, rolling their eyes, they barely say a word and god forbid you ask for a slice of cake.. I love all the bread and the variety it makes me happy but the service definitely needs to get better. read more

Filipino favorite bakeshop. They have the most delicious mango cake, mocha cake and dulce de leche here. All time favorites are the buttery mamon and the cheesy empanada. Never disappoints! If you are really hungry you might also want to try their palabok and chicken empanadas. They also have delicious ube drink and halohalo. They are very friendly and efficient here. Ambiance is casual. Great for catching up with friends. read more

Great Filipino breads and cakes! This was my first time at this location and Covid-19 pandemic has definitely changed the configuration of the dining area; however, same great items like ensymada, mamon, pandesal, cakes, and many more. The ube ensymada had generous ube filling and was so delicious! The pandesal was moist and soft as usual but even better when heated in the microwave for 10 seconds and with butter. This will absolutely be my go-to place for some great Filipino baked goods! read more
