Merienda

I like coming here for one thing: UBE PANDESAL!!!!!! We've tried other sweets from here, but our fave is the ube pandesal. It has cream cheese on the inside and it's fiiiiire!!! Other delicious items here are the hot pandesal, pastillas, ube puto, and lengua de gato. Located inside Island Pacific, it's the first thing you'll see upon walking through the entrance.Customer service could improve by a whole lot. The workers here are not at all friendly, helpful, or patient, lol!!!But like I said, I only come here for the ube pandesal. Come give them a try next time you're in the area. You won't be disappointed!!*I would give them 4 stars (minus 1 for execrable customer service), but the ube pandesal is just too damn good, so I gotta give em 5 stars!! Lol

Merienda is located inside Island Pacific Supermarket with plenty of parking. I came here with my husband around 9:30 pm this past Friday. Not know that this little bakery was in this market (right at the entrance), I decided to buy something here for breakfast the next morning while visiting Temecula. There was many plastic contains of 4 buns on the shelf and ended up choosing: Baked Chicken Siopao, $7.50 prior to tax ($8.16 after tax)- The bun itself was soft and had a savory soft flavor. The chicken inside was tasty and a good amount to serve as a nice breakfast meal. My husband and I enjoyed these buns over the next day after purchasing and was perfect. There were other items available for purchase on the counter and in the glass display case. If I lived in this area, I would come back to try the other items.

Recently moved here and discovered this delicious bakery in the pacific market. Everything I have ordered here as been delish! Pan de sal, steamed siopao, baked siopao. Can't wait to try more!

Poor customer service. The service person was rude and unfriendly. A "thank you" would have been nice after we made our purchase. She seemed pissed. Sad.

Just got home from shopping at Island Pacific. My daughter wanted some Pan de Sal for tomorrow's breakfast so I thought we could stop by Merienda on our way out. Stood there in line and there was one person ahead of us. After that lady left, the old lady (wearing Channel mask) behind the counter just went about her day doing other stuff as if we haven't been standing there waiting to order. Stood there for a few more minutes and not even an acknowledgement or "I'll be right there with you." Quite possibly the worst Customer Service (or the lack thereof) I've had inside the building since we started going there. All other business have been great.

love love their turon and they make excellent empanada. I would always come here whenever i would come visit my parents and get turon and empanada. Nanay is such an excellent customer service.
