Luisa & Son Bake Shop

The BEST filipino dessert in SO CAL, their ensaymada is a bomb, fresh and yummy, the price is affordable. The Español is also so delicious. You must try it.

Our go to Filipino bakeshop when we're in LA area. Lots of assorted Filipino bread/bake delicacies and that's so good that keeps you coming back. We prefer this Norwalk branch since it has more options than the Artesia branch. They run out of Salted Egg Ensaymada which I was excited since I haven't tried it but it's okay since there were still abundant choices that I can't resist. Customer service was excellent. Strongly recommended for your Filipino bakeshop cravings.

Just the number of times I've been here and the amount of money we've spent up in here, I have to bump this review up to 5 stars. I think I came in four (4) days out of a seven (7) day vacation, I may need an intervention to protect me from Luisa and Sons!!Here's what I notice that I keep coming back for:1) Ube and macapuno (young coconut) ensaymada. I really like this buttery Ube and coconut combo. 2) the Ube ensaymada. Not as good as the combo but it's also very good. 3) pork asado show pow. The white bun is very fluffy and the stuffing is a good amount so the ratio is correct. They even give you a small container of sauce to go with it. 4) the pork and chicken empanadas. This version is for snacking, they're smaller but equally tasty. 5) the salted egg ensaymada, it's a new comer but I really enjoy this salty and sweet sensation. Once again, the amount of salted egg is appropriate.Thank you to my Cali peeps who ship this to me when I run out. Although I don't have to fight off porch pirates, the squirrels love Ube ensaymadas, so I have to bring that box into the house asap.

The Ensaimada's are so good from this Luisa and Sons Bake Shop! I've been to the Luisa and Sons in Artesia and wasn't a huge fan, but this Norwalk one is great!The Turons are huge, but they're not my favorite. I like the ones from Pampanga's better. The Turons from Luisa are dry and hard on the inside. It's not as crispy either. They have plenty of other goodies here at Luisa, but I think they really shine with their Ensaimada. They have so many Ensaimada flavors, and the most unique being the Salted Egg Ensaimada. I learned about this flavor from a fellow Yelper, Gerry T. - thanks! I LOVED this flavor! If you like salted egg and regular Ensaimada already, you'll like this combination. I like that their Ensaimada is not too sweet and that they mix in some shredded cheese inside. It's perfect to fridge or freeze and microwave to bring it back to its fluffy state to enjoy anytime! The ladies who work here are nice and friendly. The only downside is long wait times to pay. The line wasn't necessarily long the Thursday I came, but it took a very long time for them to ring people up. There were four people ahead of me who didn't have any complicated orders, and it took over 20 minutes!

Stepmom decided to go bring me to Luisa & Son Norwalk location this Sunday October 13 2024. She stocked up on many chicken empanadas and a horde of desserts for a staff meeting: buchi, and ube balls, and ube tarts. I got a caramel cashew bar which was dee luscious!!! The main thing which got me, besides the charm of being inside the bakery, and how clean, neat and organized everything was, is a tall glass display case of the Birhen Maria(s) and the Santo Nino(s). So, prominently displayed are these artifacts of faith, numerous Virgin Mary's and many Christ Child's of Jesus. Well, the food is certainly very good. It must be prayer infused. The bakery shop was jam packed with goodies and people clamoring quietly to buy them.

A lot of their baked goods are still delicious and there's a great variety of foods both hot and cold in the fridge! Still great quality over the years with plenty of options.

Everything you want for Filipino cravings!They are all here! We were just here to get their Taro chips but as always ended up getting too many things!What we got: Taro chips, turon (spring roll kinda dessert - sweet plantain inside), vegetable roll, couple of Filipino crackers, Tamarind, bread, bread and more bread.They accept cash and credit cards, parking outside a lot. It's a little pricey yes but I will always come back.

I went yesterday and spend $155 on Ensaymada, hopia, bibingka, Turon, lumpiang Prito, sapin sapin, empanadas, etc. and it was all good tasting and good quality. Service is ok. They ran out of Ube Macapuno ensaymada at 10:20 am. It was disappointing. But staff are ok. Ambiance is nothing spectacular about it. Space is small, old, and dated. Parking is in front of the store.

Favorite Filipino pastries are all here. If you want to buy the best enseymada this is the place it's 30 minutes drive from where I live but it's all worth it. Not to mention their chicken chicharon which they always run out because they are so good. They also have different pies all time Filipino favorites. They get so busy during the holidays as always.
