omg as soon as you walk in the aroma is so comforting. It smells of all sorts of goodness. We just had lunch, but I still ended up buying a whole bunch. You got empanadas, suman, all sorts of baked goods, sans rival and much more. Grayson was helping us out. He was great to chat with, and that really makes a place memorable. So glad for relatives who told me about this place. They are out of state but found it on social media and asked if I knew about this place. Now I know. There's only street parking, it's Portland. There's also a neat park a couple of blocks away, so that can be a great spot to enjoy your treats from here. We were there around 2pm so it wasn't busy. It's a small place so keep that in mind. But if there's a line, it's definitely worth the wait. Coming from the Bay Area, I'm happy to know a place that can fulfill some of my filipino bakery cravings. read more

NOT CLOSED!!! New name and ownership but same great Filipino baked goods. Now called Chik and Chuck Pinoy Bakery.

Saw this bakery on Yelp as we used to live in the South Waterfront but never had a chance until recently. They had a variety of pastries, both sweet and savory, to choose from and the service was so nice, telling us about the different Filipino dishes and even recommended their favorites! Got the ensaymada, mango and ube, and a chicken empanada (not pictured). The ensaymada was light and airy. Used real slices of mango to top it off but the glaze seemed like an artificial glaze, which didn't bother me too much or take away from the pastry. The empanada was very good, ratio of ingredients inside was good and the bread itself was very flaky. Had a solid experience and the staff was all so nice. Will come back to try their other pastries! read more

Upon entering you can smell the sweet bake goods. The sumon was good. It's sticky rice and coconut milk mixed together. The halo halo was okay. The ube paste doesn't really go well as it was super thick and didn't mix well. Will come back again to try their empanadas. read more

Came here on whim while heading up to Pill Hill. I saw a bakery sign and thought a muffin and a coffee would be nice at 8am. I was unfamiliar with most of the items but the guy was somewhat helpful with the details. Long story short the muffin was not good and when I asked for a black coffee he said use the Keurig haha. Got my muffin and went to get my coffee and the Keurig was still heating up. Waited a few mins which for some reason felt like eternity here. Got annoyed it was taking so long so I left the cup and walked out with a muffin. Tried now my $8 muffin and it was cold and not good. I guess everything is cold here including the vibe. Way better options out there read more

It started out on a hunt for Halo Halo. It led my husband and I to this cute gem of Philippines bakery shop. We were visiting the nearby Art Museum and wanted a treat for Halo Halo in the abnormally cold Portland weather. My husband called the shop and ended up talking to the owner/baker. Just to let you guys know they are closed on Sunday. But the owner was so nice that he told us to stop by anyway. While being there we sampled their chicken and beef empanada, halo halo and chocolate mochi muffin. Empanandas are like small hand pies filled with different kinds of meats. I think they can be super delicious if we would have reheated in an oven. The halo halo (as we were told by the owner means mix mix) was good. The owner was super friendly and nice. He taught us that the way to enjoy a halo halo is to first eat the ice cream, then mix the filling and ice well before eating it. We have been doing all wrong for so long :-) The chocolate mochi muffin had an interesting texture. It was sprinkled with some taro powder on top. It was not too sweet and it was definitely unique. I highly recommend this bakery and would definitely go back again when they are open. Parking could be limited and you would need to pay for street parking around the shop. read more

Was exploring near the PSU campus and found this Filipino dessert bakery, and I'm glad I did! It's a small shop with no seating, so definitely just grab-and-go. They also had more than just desserts, such as adobo and empanadas if you wanted something savory. Honestly can't remember the exact name of the items I got, but one was an ube mochi chocolate bread and the other was similar to a cinnamon roll, but with ube mixed in and topped with a light frosting. Both were delicious - wasn't overly sweet or dense. The ube flavor really came through, and the mochi gave the bread a nice chewy texture. They had so many other items on their menu, but it seems like some things were currently sold out when we came by in the afternoon (there was a mango version of the cinnamon roll that I had wanted to try). Both the desserts I got were $3 each, and I thought they were well priced. The owner was super friendly and explained each dessert to us, and I would definitely come back to try their other items! read more

came here for my birthday cake (pleasant surprise) and it was an ube chiffon cake. Also dropped by their bakery section to try other goods. We got ube butter mochi and ube emsaymada (similar to cinnamon roll). Note: side street parking, cash is more preferred or else 4% credit card fee is using cards, and they also have some authentic filipino foods that is you can order and they cook it. We got only bakery goods today and we did go home to try the cake. Looks beautiful, it wasn't what i expected for flavor though. The cake to cream ratio is more cream than the cake itself. It is very beautiful and cake is well made, i just personally preferred more cake. Luckily it wasn't too sweet otherwise the flavor would not have matched the appearance of the cake. Others also thought there was too much cream frosting layers for a chiffon cake. This was disappointing unfortunately. 10/10 recommend their ube emsaymada- from what i asked the staff there, it is brioche bread with ube inside made similar to how cinnamon rolls are. sooo good!!! Ube butter mochi, wow sooooo chewy and moderately sweet with a lot of ube fragrance. If you've ever tried this from Hawaii, you would think this was from there. This bakery did an excellent job with these bakery goods and this earned them a star back! read more

This is a Filipino bakery, with their specialty being their ube ensaymada. As there were 4 of us, we decided to get one of each of the 4 types of ensaymadas - cheese, mango, ube, and original. The cheese ensaymada has a hint of sweetness with a little bit of cheese flavor. The mango ensaymada has subtle mango flavor with some sweetness on top. The ube ensaymada has ube crumbles on top and also some ube filling scattered inside the ensaymada. The original ensaymada has sprinkled sugar. The only ensaymada that I enjoyed was the ube as there is more even distribution of flavor and is softer. The other 3 did not have filling inside so it felt a little bit dry, and it was a little bit stale, so that was a slight miss. However, for $3 per ensaymada, the portions are good for the price. read more

This is a hole in the wall bakery which holds about 5 people. The smell when you walk in is divine. It is a little off the beaten path but if you have Google maps, it'll get you there! This is not any food that I could eat due to food allergies but my partner and his sister both enjoy Filipino desserts. The ube mochi was very large and only $3 which was a good price. It was also very decadent according to my SIL. They also got ube cheesecake and ensaymada. They were very much enjoyed and appreciated. We will be back! read more

St. Barbara pinoy bakery is now Chick and Chucks. They changed ownership. I pre-ordered 4 pandesal packs over the phone. I CLARIFIED that I needed Ube Pandesal. (This is not the first time I've ordered from them) they also mentioned that each bags contains 8 Pieces of pandesal for $8.50. I asked my husband to pick it up when he got home the pandesal packs contains 7 pieces not 8 and it's $9.50 and they gave me ube and cheese pandesal. I called to make things right they offered 50% refund. They completely messed up my ordered which was placed 2 days in advanced. 1. Wrong flavor 2. Wrong pieces 3. Wrong price quote Unfortunately I will not be coming back and will find another baker to filfull my needs. If I were you don't go here and find another Filipino bakery. read more

A cozy little bakery off the highway. They had a couple of things on display earlier in the day: Ensaymadas, Ube Butter Mochi Cake, Sans Rival, and Pinoy Burrito. Seems like there were more being baked during that time so there might be more options later in the day. I got a box of each to sample everything and it's great! Super affordable too. The Ube Butter Mochi Cake stood out, chewy but soft at the same time. A very unique item. The Sans Rival was also like nothing I've had before, love the creamy cashew flavor. Burrito was filled with chinese sausage, white rice, eggs, and cheese. Again, pretty novel. Would go back to try other things and support a small local business! read more

It's the first time I've had Filipino food in Portland and I'm glad I was able to grab lunch here. I ordered the chicken adobo with came with a side of rice. Fair warning, call ahead for your order and ask what they have available because their entire menu may not be available for service. Pay with cash or there will be a 4% fee for credit cards. There's also very very limited street parking available. The chicken adobo was good and flavorful. The chicken was fall of the bone and very tender. The chicken adobo I've had before usually has a strong vinegar taste with it, but this one is on the lighter side. To finish the meal, I also got one of their pastries they had, the Ube butter mochi which was delicious. They have so many pastries available, can't wait to try more! read more

I've probably driven by this bakery hundreds of times before I realized what it was. And ever since I discovered it, I will usually make a stop! Their ensaymadas and Spanish bread are delicious, and definitely get the pandesal. If you've had pandesal at local Asian markets or events, it likely came from St Barbra Pinoy Bakery. They also have hot dishes that you can call ahead and order, such as adobo and pancit. Depending on what they have left, they also have hot dishes like Filipino breakfast burritos and empanadas in the case ready to buy. They're super nice here, and they make everything fresh. I can't wait to go back and try their other pastries! It's located on a very busy southbound through-street that connects SW Barbur Blvd and downtown Portland. There's street parking out front. read more

We were so excited to try this place after we saw the Korean Mama on Instagram try it out. We wanted to get the Ube cheesecake and the beef empanada. The cheesecake was probably the best cheesecake we've ever had! Ube works amazing in this dessert and they made it so well! Unfortunately, we took off a star because our empanada was mostly dough and not much filling, this was disappointing because we had heard so many good things about them, from reviews and the Korean Mama video. Maybe it was just an off day. The Ube cheesecake was 11/10 though! read more

I learned about this bakery from a friend and anything Filipino I'm down for! While in Portland, my friend and I drove to St. Barbra Pinoy Bakery and though they had a lot of different breads that were ready for take-out, I wasn't a fan of my halo-halo nor was the puto anything worth making a trek here for. When we first drove here, we realized that parking is kind of a bitch around this area. We attempted to park in the lot right across from the bakery until we saw that a car had its windows smashed and stuff was clearly taken out of the car. Sooo, that was scary. There is street parking right outside of the shop, but not a lot of it. We ended up parking on another side street, hoping no one would break into my car. (Fortunately, no one did.) The bakery is take-out only, as it's very small inside for where customers enter and order. They had racks of different breads that you could take, as well as some cases of other items, like puto and a menu with some savory food items, like adobo. My friend and I ordered puto and halo-halo. The halo-halo was super icy. There was hardly any condensed milk in it, which was unfortunate, since the milk would've helped liquify the ice. But no, the ice stayed intact since there was hardly any liquid to help melt it. It did come with a large scoop of ube ice cream on top, which was the best part. But other than that, it's not like I could enjoy the halo-halo since it was mostly ice. The puto was better. It was soft and tasted fine. But nothing special. I didn't taste any coconut, which you normally get a hint of with puto. This was far from the best Filipino bakery I've visited, and sadly, I would not come back here. Perhaps there's better luck with the other food items, but can't say much for the halo-halo or puto. read more

Very small bakery by OHSU with friendly people. I thought the meat empanada was probably great fresh and hot but they are premade and in the cold case overnight. Then heated in the microwave. So warm and soggy instead of hot and flaky. They have a butter cake that is BUTTER!! I really liked that. Bought a burrito as well but it was premade and cold and later that day I tossed it because no proper way to heat It. The food needs to be hot for it to work. read more

We've been wanting to try St. Barbra Pinoy Bakery for quite a while, but had always seemed to be in the area on a day they were closed. We finally made it today and I must say I LOVE the beef empanadas and ube mochis I got! My wife enjoyed the puto, as well. I can't wait to try more sweet treats and some of the savory meals they offer! And thanks to the friendly and welcoming staff that helped us today, our visit was all the more pleasant. We'll definitely be back again very soon! read more

I've been on the hunt for my fresh baked pan de sal and I am SO HAPPY St. Barbara exists in Portland. It's a super small mom and pop shop that does have tough parking in the area, but it's worth coming to visit. I came for the fresh baked pan de sal but left with way more items such as their empanadas, tsuman, and ensaymada. They had so many other goodies like kutsina, hopia, pan de coco, yema, and more! Their menu also had some hot food options but we didn't get to try it this time around as they said we had to call at least 45 mins in advance. I was almost tempted with their burritos with longanisa as well but I held myself back this time around. St Barbara also does trays for pancit and adobo if you're having an event. I love that this place exists and need to get more than one bag of pan de sal as that didn't last more than two days! read more

A little bit outside the PSU area (use mapping app to avoid lost) is this tiny bakery-let. Specializing in baked goods from the Philippines, they also have on their menu fav Filipino dishes like adobo and pancit. We stuck with a halo halo (famous sweet crushed ice, fruit, ice cream concoction), a couple of meat-filled empanadas, and an ube- flavored cake. The halo halo was mildly sweetened with evaporated milk and very tasty. The empanadas about the size of a turnover or small pasty, were stuffed with lots of meat and veggies. Chicken was better than beef. I'd give 6 stars for service if I could. The shop was closed on the sunday we visited but the owner/Baker invited us in so we could sample what he had available. He was enthusiastic about his cuisine and told us he supplies local grocery stores with his products. If you like Asian/Chinese bakery, you'll like Pinoy bakery (not overly sweet). We will be back to try more of their ube-flavored goods. read more

First Filipino bakery in Portland, Oregon. Our family's favorite is the fresh pan de sal (rolls). Love Ube crinkle cookies too. Check the hours before coming to the bakery. They deliver to some local Asian grocery stores. They make ensaymada too. Used to be that you would have to go to a major Asian grocery store and buy the ones shipped in from far away. If you live in SW WA or in the Portland, OR area, Sta. Barbra's bakery is the place to buy Filipino pastries and pan de sal. MABUHAY! read more

I haven't tried everything on the menu but I will say that this place is the real deal. They make everything from scratch. It looks exactly as a bakery should when you walk in. The owners are very nice and helpful with any questions you may have. I've tried their Ube muffins and once you eat 1 you'll want to eat 10, they are that good! I tried the beef empanadas and it was the same thing, I could've eaten 10! The crust is homemade and flaky filled with hamburger potatoes, peas, carrots and raisins. It sounds like raisins wouldn't work, I know, but they do! This bakery is a must try! read more

Drove an hour to get their pan de sal. It's a small shop with street parking. Walked in and was greeted, and I told him that I wanted 13 packages. They boxed it and I was on my way. The rolls are big and taste authentic. The owner is from Pangasinan Philippines, my wife's home town. I recommend them for authentic Filipino pastries. read more

Amazing food! Will come back here again for great Filipino food! New owners as well and the empanada is

It took me 7 years to return to the bakery after the Korean Mama came through and gave her rave reviews. I was curious to see the updates and new offerings. The ube butter mochi, ube cheesecake and halo halo were my favorites! The butter mochi was moist. The cheesecake melt your mouth. The halo halo had so much flavor and variety of toppings mixed inside. They also have an ube layer cake that you can custom order. I was not disappointed this time around. The only disappointment was not returning sooner now that the new ownership will take over the business starting Jan 2025. Best wishes to the current owners and new owners. We'll be coming back for more. read more

Great little bakery with authentic Filipino offerings. The staff has always been friendly and helpful when I've come in. I believe they're only open later in the week and weekends during COVID but they sell some products at local Asian grocery stores too. Plus, Everything that I've had here has been tasty! If you're a fan of ube then you should definitely check it out, they have ube cookies, cheesecake, pastries. The ensaymadas are delish. They're a buttery brioche topped with more butter (it's not frosting, don't be fooled). They also make a handful of savory Filipino dishes and have more packaged breads and baked goods to buy as well. First time I had a halo halo was here. It's seasonal but really good. They're empanadas were also good. Definitely come try it out! read more

Visiting Portland from LA. Lots of pinoy food in LA but this spot was dope. We had both types of empanadas, ube butter roll thing, breakfast burrito, and the suman. Ube butter roll was the favorite although chicken empanada was a close 2nd. Maraming salamat. read more

I originally had their enseymadas at a Filipino market on the other side of town and today I was close to downtown and wanted to stop in. It's a small store front, you can see them baking in the back and all the products displayed up front. I got a plain, mango, and Ube enseymada. I 100% recommend the ube & plain, hands down the best I've ever had. The mango wasn't my favorite as it was just mango curd? On top and a few strips of mango on top for decor. No filling on the side so basically a plain, but add mango on top. I will definitely come back to try more items! read more

Filipino food... ahhh! Located in southwest Portland we actually looked for this "bakery" as we were hankering for some pinoy food. Yes, it says bakery but they had a small menu that included adobo, pancit, bistik and a number of silogs. Not exactly a restaurant, in fact, there was only one round table with two chairs inside, and outside the same thing. It's more like an order "to go" type of shop. The glass display case offered traditional Filipino desserts like polvoron (a soft, crumbly confection type of shortbread popular in Spain... an influence on the Philippines by the Spaniards), empanadas, suman (a sticky rice cake), and pan de sal (a common Filipino bread roll). I chose to have bistik and rice (which is really "beef steak") and hubby got his favorite silog, longsilog, which is longanisa, eggs and rice. Longanisa is a Spanish sausage similar to a chorizo. The Filipino beef steak was hearty, tasty and perfect with steamed rice. For dessert... what else but halo-halo. Took awhile to get our orders because it was cooked to order. The couple working the kitchen were super nice and friendly and of course when you see a "kababayan" (a fellow Filipino, countryman, or townmate) there will be small talk and friendly chats. Typical would be "where are you from or where are you from in the Philippines... immediately they said "welcome to Portland!" Oops, didn't mean to immerse you in our culture but we had a pleasant time here. They suggested for us to go and visit the International Rose Test Garden in Washington Park... off we go... see you at next review :) Review #1383 read more

As a Filipino, I was so happy to know there was a Filipino bakery in the area. The family running the business were so kind and helpful. I truly felt at home and their baked goods and food to go were delicious and made with love and care. I bought some fresh made pandesal, ensaymada, empanada and pancit. SOOO FREAKIN GOOD. I felt like I was back in the Philippines eating my grandmas food. I will 1000000000% be coming back. If you're in the area, check them out. You won't be disappointed. read more

The glowing reviews prompted my family and I to make a quick stop here during our brief trip to Portland. We stopped by after a 1.5-2 hour stroll around the Portland Japanese Garden so we built up a little appetite. The bakery itself is quite small and there is one table with a few seats. Many reviews praised the ensaymada and that was what we decided to try. We ordered cheese, ube, and mango ensaymadas; one of each. It was a relatively hot day so we also ordered one halo-halo. The ensaymadas were decent; I enjoyed the topping/fillings more than the bread itself. The mango was good but maybe a little too sweet and extremely sticky. The ube had the right flavor to it but not enough ube. The cheese was pretty standard, definitely not my favorite. My gripe with the pastries was the bread component. It seemed to lack some of the buttery goodness I've come to expect from ensaymada. It also wasn't as pillowy as anticipated. It tasted a little thick and dry. The halo-halo was your standard halo-halo; kind of hard to mess up. Perfect to cool you off on a hot day. All-in-all the food was decent but nothing to write home about. They also served food but my family and I only dropped by for a quick snack. Being Filipino perhaps I'm overly critical of Filipino bakeries/restaurants. If this is the most convenient way for you to get your Filipino food fix then by all means go for it. They're A-OK. read more
