I heard about this spot. I was finally in the area to check it out, here was my experience. Here's how it went. AMBIANCE Parking: Street parking can be a little tricky around Silver Lake, so be prepared to walk a short distance. Seating: This is primarily a grab-and-go bakery with a small market attached. Most people come in, get there orders and head out. Vibes: Welcome to Silver Lake! It's an eclectic spot that really reflects the diversity of El Lay. As for this bakery, it's nothing flashy just a nostalgic classic for all your Filipino needs - baked goods, pastries, breads, and other familiar Filipino snacks. FOOD Turon (Recommend) Their signature delight. Freshly fried to a nice crisp. A caramelized wrapper that created lumpia crumbs with every bite. The banana and jackfruit was fresh and sweet. Hopia - Ube Coconut (Recommend) Another classic. Regardless of what flavor, you're in for a delight. A flaky pastry with the right amount of earthy sweet ube filling and a nice hint of coconut. Match this with some tea and coffee and you're in for a delightful morning to start your day. CUSTOMER SERVICE Friendly and welcoming. I met Andrea and she's a sweet hardworker. I appreciate her and her family for bringing Filipino goods in this part of Los Angeles. TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. Great selections, fair prices, and a pleasant experience. I dig how United Bread & Pastry is representing the Filipino community. I'm sure Silver Lake has evolved and changed but I'm glad this bakery has remained something consistent, sharing Filipino baking traditions to familiar faces and new visitors. Best wishes to Andrea and the rest of the De Guzman family with their business. #RepresentAZN #FilipinoFoodMovement TIPS * Don't leave without trying the turon or a fresh bag of pandesal! read more

United Bread & Pastry - Woooo! - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

United Bread & Pastry is a Filipino-owned establishment that has been part of the Silver Lake/Hyperion community for decades. Here you will find Tita Andrea and family who have been baking up sweet Filipino treats. As the name suggests, there are many bread and pastries available for sale. However, there are much more than that. The display case is lined with delicate meringues, buko (coconut) pies, meat pies (empanadas), egg pies, and a bunch of other pastries and sweet breads. This long-standing panaderia also has Filipino staples for sale like ube (halaya), shrimp paste (bagoong), smoked fish (tinapa), duck embryo (balut), and so much more. Of course, this is my go-to spot for turon (fried banana rolls w/ jackfruit). The family always serves their customers with a smile. It's a a familiar feeling and customary of Filipino culture to welcome in their home, in this case, the store. Come check out this place when you're in the area and support a local family-owned business. read more

The holy trinity of Sunset Triangle: The WIndow, Pine and Crane, AND THE ONE ABOVE ALL - UNITED BREAD & PASTRY.

Hidden gem during an outing in Silver Lake! I'm a Filipina born and raised and felt right at home ordering from the shop. They had everything from clover chips to walis ting ting Ate was very nice and introduced my friends to hopia and turon. We ordered and loved a variety of 12 hopia and want to come back again (the pan de sal smelled so good!) Hopia Ordered: Ube, Mungo, Onion, Red Bean, Jackfruit read more

United Bread and Pastry has been serving the Silverlake area of Los Angeles for 42 years! Imagine a small mom and pop shop tucked in a little spot amongst bustling Sunset Blvd. Where everything else is changing and shifting, this little bakery stays true to its mission and that is to serve up Filipino desserts, snacks and pastries. This is theeee place to get turon (fried banana and jackfruit spring rolls.) I tried looking for turon in Mid-City and the only place I found is a Filipino market in the westside and they sold turon from United Bread and Pastry! The place is family-owned and the sweetest woman helped me with my order. If you hadn't already, check their IG page. So charming! read more

Located in the heart of all the Silver Lake action, this little Filipino bakery is tucked in the corner of a small plaza, serving baked goods and snacks. To be fair, this review is based on experience, service and the Turon, which is what we purchased and felt deserving of a review. The staff was warm and friendly as we asked if they had any more Turon. He pleasantly said yes and asked how many we would like. The Turon was light and crispy with enough sweetness from the banana, jackfruit and caramelized sugar that coats the wrapper. The store itself is small and gives a mom and pop shop feel. Glad to see a place like this has stood the test of time. Will be back to try more items! read more

What a local hidden gem! we didn't realize this was a Filipino bakery when we walked in and was definitely very pleasantly surprised. They have some pretty hard to find Filipino stuff here, like pastillias ube. The turon was very good too. Service is excellent and they are very friendly. Didn't realize they did catering too, including lechon which I feel is pretty hard to find these days. definitely bookmarking this place as a future catering option! read more

Heard about this place from Instagram. Cute place - you smell the fried Turon as soon as you walk in. Parking is okay (they have 2-3 parking spaces and there's street parking). Prices were good - a dozen chicken empanadas for $28, I think. The Turon was super crispy and filled with banana and jackfruit - my favorite. The empanada was baked- crust was perfect with a little crunch and they put a decent amount of chicken filling compared to others. They do have other specialties and you can order party trays as well. Super friendly owner, very nice lady. Will definitely be back! 10 out of 10 for me! Enjoy. read more

It has been a while since I've been here and moving away from this place, I still think about it from time to time. They have so many options to choose from that either brings you back home or reminds you of home (the Philippines). All the ones we got from here were delicious and I would definitely be back if I'm in the area. The titas are so friendly, warm and very helpful. The vibe reminds me so much of small shops or bakeries in the Philippines. Highly recommend this place! read more

Owner operated for 40+ years, in the same same location says it all!! My favorites so far are any flavor Hopia, pork adobo roll and the turon... i will be back for sure to try even more... And you will be surprised by the prices, compared to the bigger filipino bakeries. Support local, support small businesses read more

Came here on a Monday afternoon because I was craving an authentic turon. Parking is very tough but worth it if you can manage to find street parking. Once you enter the store, it's reminiscent of a classic Filipino bakery with the glass displays of treats and even a small section for just snacks/groceries. Service was very kind and welcomed us. They even let us know at what time they baked their turon. Loved the welcoming atmosphere of this bakery. Turon 9/10 - The staff informed us that the batch of turon we got was made an hour prior, but it was still perfectly coated in sugar and crispy upon biting. The filling was generous, juicy, and sweet. I liked that even when biting into the turon it didn't fall apart and maintained its shape well. I'd say this spot is worth visiting for an overall authentic and homey experience. Loved the turon! read more

Hands down the best Turon I had ever. The freshest desert I had ever in a long time. The owner of the store is super nice and the location was easy to find. Only thing was hard to find parking I had to go in circles twice. It was worth the drive and looking for parking. read more

Rough parking but well worth the effort to try this historical landmark and go-to Filipino bakery in the area. My cousin and I ordered a variety of baked goods but we both shared that the siopao and polvoron (all flavors) are great! Service was welcoming. Interior is charming and busy but in a very comforting and familiar way. Check this spot out if you are in the area! read more

Stopped by this local Filipino bakery while out in silver lake today and ordered a half dozen empanadas, a half dozen Turon, and ube polvoron cookies. Everything we got was good. The turon in particular was a standout with ample filling and nicely coated in sugar. The owner, Andrea, was super nice and friendly. It was clear that she cares a lot about silver lake and I loved that she took the time to warmly engage with her customers. I am sure that we will be back to try more pastries soon! read more

Found this place via Instagram and decided to give it a try because I was looking for authentic Filipino desserts. My friends and I ordered a variety of baked goods, as well as a box of turon and flan. Located in a hidden lot, the store itself is rather small, and it's packed to the rim with all different items from chips, baked goods, drinks, groceries, you name it, they have it, except for maybe halo halo. When we went, there was a line to the back of the store, and it was a little hard to navigate around everyone. Definitely a little overwhelming, but that's also how you know it's good! Overall, the turon was absolutely delicious. The flan was thicker and sweeter than the one you'd get at Seafood City. The staff was super sweet and efficient. One of the staff members was especially kind to us. We really wanted to try a bag of vegan chicharon chips and he gave it to us for free to try. Such a kind gesture. Will definitely be returning! read more

I will make this simple. We bought turon, egg pie, ube ensaymada and piyanono. First time ever everything taste "SO BAD". We threw it all in the garbage. What happened? Quality was really BAD. I so respect the old lady, she's so nice, but when I was there, there was a fat woman kinda ugly too, my review to all....DO NOT BUY HERE ANYMORE. DO NOT SUPPORT. VERY RUDE specially the UGLY FAT GIRL. BAD FOOD BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. read more

First time trying to run in here I heard about this place, but I never had a chance and finally I got to try it out. The famous turon. I can't wait to try out their cakes.

This is my go-to place for the best, crispiest, lightest, and most delicious Turon!! They also have freshly-made, delicious garlic-roasted peanuts - IUKUK! Other Pinoy treats abound so it's just whatever you are in the mood for. Owners are really nice. Parking sucks, so be prepared to walk a bit wherever you can spot one on the main road. read more

I hate to leave a bad review but I wasted a lot of money in this bakery. The ensaymadas are not freshly baked. The sansrival is also old and not buttery at all. Even the peanuts taste bad. I hope they can improve their products and be more successful in their business. So they can represent the Filipino food better. read more

United Bread & Pastry - Dry, stale, old Ube ensaymada - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Super cute and charming bakery in silverlake with a good selection of freshly baked pastries. When I walked in, it felt so nostalgic and homey, like walking into my Filipino grandma's house. Everyone in there was so nice too, welcoming us in like family. The turon was really sweet and crispy, just how I like it, with really soft banana inside and juicy but subtle langka (jackfruit) inside. The hopia monggo has a really good flavor and it wasn't too dry like some others I've had. We also got the garlic peanuts and they were perfectly roasted with the right balance of salt and garlic flavor on them. No complaints at all about this place and if you're ever in the area you need to give it a try!! read more

The award for best Turon in LA goes to: United Bakery! My friend recommended me this legendary bakery for some traditional Filipino desserts, including Turon. They also offer small cakes like Ube and Pandan Cake for a fair price. The ambiance reminds me of a combined homey sari-sari store and panaderia in the Philippines. Except, it's in the heart of Silver Lake along Sunset Boulevard & Griffith Park Blvd. Just be patient when it comes to parking, unless you're only picking up an order for a short time. I ordered two dozen (24 pieces) of turon for a potluck at my office. I ordered via phone the day before and kindly provided my name and phone number. The turons were fresh, crispy and ready upon pick-up. While they encourage cash payments, they also accept payments via credit/debit cards for a small fee. Their turon is truly uniquely crispy, warm and flavorful inside and out. They don't miss out on the even coating of brown sugar and the perfect portion of saba and langka (jackfruit). Thanks to my friend's recommendation, United Bakery is the legit place to order legit crispy turon in Los Angeles. read more

Really good Ube rice flour cookies, and jackfruit & plantain wraps called Turon (sweet & crispy). Really friendly service & will definitely be back to try more things. This is a Filipino bakery with a variety of sweet and savory snacks, pastries, baked goods. I've never been to a bakery like this so most of the items are unique to me. It's just a short distance away from Pine and Crane. read more

Chicken empanadas and a box of Turon for breakfast? Yes please ! The empanadas were bursting with savory and slightly sweet flavors. Good things really do come in small packages. The Turon's caramelized sugar is just something else. That yung crispy roll is heaven in a bite. You'll have to see it to believe. Overall, you have humble workers who are quick and the ambiance is quite dainty, but this place has it all, from baked goods to exquisite Filipino pastries.

Horrible experience. I was so excited to come, but was immediately turned away by the lady working there. We took forever to find parking and once we finally got a spot in their front lot, she said they were closing soon and turned us away. We got there 30 mins before they close? We just wanted a quick to-go order and were going to leave. She wouldn't even hear us out, and would just say "Nope, we are closing soon" and wouldn't let us in. We were so happy to support a small, local business but we were so disappointed by her attitude. Don't recommend!! read more

I've loved united bakery since I was a kid! Had the chance to stop by recently (it's been quite some time) and the turon is just as good as I remember. Very sweet staff. They have tons of pasties, baked goods, desserts + drinks, snacks, some quick meal items/ingredients. read more

My parents would go here to purchase siopao. I believe that they have the best Filipino Siopao and Banana Turon. I have been going here for over 30 years. I drive here from San Gabriel Valley whenever I'm craving siopao. Their banana turon is usually sold out. It's a good idea to call ahead if you are going here for their banana turon. I totally forgot about how difficult it was to park here. There are people that park on both sides of the street, and at times, it causes their driveway to be blocked by inconsiderate people who are not shopping at their store. Then there are people who do not park within the parking slots, which then adds to the problem. When we arrived, we parked within a parking slot. When I was about to leave, someone parked right behind us. He apologized and said he'd be leaving soon, which meant that we needed for him to buy whatever he needed in order for us to be able to leave. Patience is needed when parking here. read more

small but mighty filipino bakery in the heart of Silverlake's Sunset district. called in and ordered a box of Turon, or filipino eggrolls filled with banana and jackfruit and drizzled in caramel. The perfect potluck item. they have everything here. ube this ube that, pandan cakes, peanuts, etc. run by a small family. this place is great, the Turon was mouthwatering and i ate way too many, i just couldn't stop. the party i brought it to, people took it home in their tupperwares and plates to go. a hit! read more

Best turon and chicharrones in LA! The turon is shatteringly crispy from the caramel and spring roll wrapper on the outside and filled plentifully with plantain and jackfruit. My fiance loved the chicharrones so much that he ate half the container in one go and plans to go back today and get some more--they are nicely bite sized and fried into perfect little crispy pig skin puffs. It's located next door to Pine and Crane, so parking may not be the easiest, but I honestly think United Bread and Pastry is a hidden gem of Silver Lake. They sell other delicious Filipino treats and snacks like Halo Halo, polvoron, empanadas, etc. that are also delicious. Mark is really friendly and will explain what everything is to you. Cash is preferred over card and you will get a better price too! I've been coming here since my college days, and I'm so glad that this place is still open so I can get my turon fix. read more

The best Turon in Los Angeles always fresh and tasty. Parking is hard to get especially on the weekends.

Great place to buy Turon. Made fresh only problem with this place is no availability to park.

Checked out this bakery on a whim, and I'm so glad I did. It's tucked in a little pocket of a tiny strip mall off of Sunset and Griffith Park Blvds. They sell Filipino treats, breads, and groceries. Everything was delicious! I'd recommend the crinkle cookies, deep fried turon, and *ADDICTING* pork rinds. I wish I got the larger container of pork rinds because my parents and I nearly decimated the entirety of the small bucket once it was opened. They were non-greasy, bite-sized, and crunchy yet not jaw-breaking. The gentleman who helped me was super easy-going and was knowledgeable of all the items in the store. I always appreciate this since I don't always remember the names of certain ethnic foods that I like, just what's inside or what they taste like. If I'm in the Silver Lake area and can find street parking, I'd definitely go HAM on the rinds and get more pastries. Prices are decent for LA, too! read more

The food was great, but the attitude really put me off. I know you've been there for a long time and have served a lot of clients, but a little humility would go a long way. Maybe SHE wasn't in the mood, but after two bitchy mode experiences, you will start to think this is not the only place we can buy our favorite food. Thanks, but I think we'll pass this time around. read more

Finally made it to United Bread & Pastry and it really lived up to the hype! The pastries are amazing -- so decadent.

12/16/22 This review is mainly for their turon & only their TURON. One of our patients brought a box of turon for the staff. Most of our grateful patients do especially during the holidays as a show of appreciation for the care they've been given, from the new ones & from the ones we've been seeing over the years for their care. I have to admit, I've never bought or even visited this shop but our unit has been receiving these wonderfully crafted delicious sweets. These are Filipino style deep fried plantains/bananas & jackfruit wrapped in egg roll rice paper-fried to perfection with caramelized brown sugar. Simply phenomenal-so delicious, not too sweet, it's perfection! It's crunchy exterior & it's delectable soft fruits just so good! Like I said, we've been getting these over the years & they've consistently been the same delicious tasting treat!s! read more

Decided to roam around the Silver Lake area to kill time in between meetings. Stumbled on this Filipino Bakery in the middle of a busy/ trendy street. They have their own parking space which is a PLUS for the area! When we walked in, we were greeted by a nice Hispanic man. Decided to try their Siopao and their Turon. I have to say, I was very impressed by both. Their turon was delicious and their Siopao (bola bola) was also delicious. It had Chinese sausage and salted eggs inside. It was also a big size! A young Filipino guy helped us and he was very nice! He was hospitable, answered all our questions and even allowed us to take some Calamansi from their Calamansi tree! Thank you! The place looked a little messy and very dusty. That is why I have to give a 4 star. If you're in the food business, especially in the food business- the space has to be clean and look clean. No excuse. read more

This Pilipino family owned bakery feels like home to me. It's nostalgia in a bite. Stepping into this family owned bakery is a time capsule; it looks and smells exactly as I remember it as a child. While you're inside, you forget how the business is facing a very busy and very loud Sunset Blvd. With Silver Lake quickly growing and neighbors quickly getting displaced, I'm so happy this business remains steadfast. My parents first began visiting this bakery in the 90s and now I plan to continue supporting them for just as long. Their turon, siopao, kutsinta, puto, sapin sapin, and biko is exactly what I remember it. It's one of those "If you know, you know" places. No signage or menu means the regulars know exactly what to get. The owners are so sweet and accommodating. The Pilipina woman is a no nonsense type of woman! She won't waste your time if you don't waste hers. She is very efficient and appreciates directness so I advise you to be prepared with what you're planning to order. Her son was so kind and took the time to explain some of their products I haven't tried before. He's very genuine and honest about their products. read more

Stopped by for some afternoon snacks while in the Silverlake area. Tasty variety, especially if you're a fan of ube. The staff was very welcoming and patient while we were deciding from the large case of desserts. The inside is very warm, so be warned if thinking there is strong AC on a hot day. Not ideally a good parking spot, we walked from around the corner. read more
