Visiting from out of town and had to stop by to try the Ensemada, my favorite and some ube treats. Love this place and the owner was super nice and helpful.
The ube brownies are addictive and the service is great. They made suggestions and were very polite.
I live in the area and enjoy a nice walk on my lunch when the weather is nice. I found this spot and ducked in to see what they had. The lady/owner was exceedingly kind. They don't have a lot of things in stock, but they do feature a lot of ube pastries. Real ube! I picked up some rolls and headed home. I live life with a service dog and this establishment gets 4paws up! No issues. I got home and had to try one of the pastries. It was so good. Not too sweet, and perfectly soft. The prices may seem a little steep at $7 a package..but real ube is notoriously expensive and can be difficult to find. Making these delightful little treats worth it.
Service was great! Tons of things to choose from, everything looked absolutely amazing. They were super friendly and very helpful. I got the Ube Spanish bread which is filled with a Ube better. Looks delicious he also told me they make the senorita bread, which are highly addictive. It is a bit tucked away at a fairly sketchy area but please do not let that stop you from trying out a great spot. They have a deal for $20 and you choose 3 items which is super affordable.
This place is a must stop. The breads are so soft and they smell/taste amazing! I tried the coco bread (coconut). I'm not kidding when I say it was my favorite coconut treat I've ever enjoyed. The texture, the amount of sweetness was perfect. The inside of shop is cozy and the items are perfectly stacked and visible if you want a quick to-go bread. The staff were super kind and will share/explain everything about the items. Again, this is a must stop shop!
I was craving anything UBE and found this cute lil bakery on Yelp. When I arrived, I thought it was closed because there were metal bars behind the door then I realized it was for security measures when the bakery is closed. Let me tell you, this tiny mom & pop shop didn't disappoint. Too bad I didn't get the name of the Filipina lady who works there, possibly the owner, but she pretty much showed and described every single pastry with UBE. She felt bad that I couldn't talk or ask much because I lost my voice from the heat or something. I'm from Hermosa Beach and it's a long drive home. I had to stop every now and then to have a break and I did make sure the UBE delights are within reach. But who am I kidding? I was munching on them the whole time I was driving. I bought the UBE brownies, cookies, and I forgot the name of the last one. They were all delicious and the UBE flavor was heavenly. Thank you Bread & Butter for the wonderful experience! You're definitely in my list to come back to, hopefully soon. Everything is UBElicious! I can't wait to try the rest. p.s. Make sure you bring cash. They lose money like $.50+ cents per transaction when you use a card (if I'm not mistaken).
I've had Bread and Butter at RP farmers market a year ago and finally the opportunity to go to their store front. Almost hidden it's a small, clean bakery. Arrived just before noon. We were greeted as we entered. Chef Mark was there in back and a sweet lady at the register I've seen before when they are at Farmers Market. I was hoping to try their famous señorita bread but as usual they sold out (have to arrive early next time). They have a deal 3 items for $20. I bought 2 bags of pandesal and one Ensaimada (Jokoy's Fav dessert ;] ). The Ensaimada was delicious, soft and sweet but not overwhelmingly sweet, it was just right. I like to warm it up for 15 seconds where the butter just slightly melts it's THE BEST. I've had their ube pandesal before and it was good this was my first time having their regular pandesal and it was delicious and soft. My tita would bring us pandesal from San Diego when she comes and visits but now we don't have to wait for pandesal when Bread and Butter is local and they make it just as delicious. It was soft as is but I enjoy them slightly toasted with butter and I would dip it in hot chocolate or coffee (simple and delicious breakfast). Highly recommend this place if you've never tired. They also make TO DIE FOR ube brownies and trifle dessert.
Such a cute little bakery. I stopped by since I was in the area and craved ube sweets. The store front is pretty hidden, make sure you don't miss the turn into the lot like I did. The ube pandesal goes by quick in my family. Super a fluffy, airy texture. My parents love the ube halaya cheese, not too creamy or sweet. And the senorita bread is good, can be too sweet for some people but I like it. There's 2 different sized containers you can get. The one I got was enough for 4-5 people. Just ask if they have it available!
Stopped by for the first time to try some goodies. There are shelves of various baked goods priced at $7 each or 3 for $20. Got the ube crinkle cookies, pandan crinkle cookies and ube halaya cheese bread. My favorite out of the trio was the ube halaya cheese. It's soft, a nice mix of sweet and savory, and not too sweet. The crinkle cookies were quite big and more on the crunchy side. I do prefer chewy and softer crinkle cookies so these aren't for me but it was fun to try. I would come back to try other goodies and to get more ube halaya cheese. It's a walk in and pick up, no dine in situation.
