Pugon

I have discovered a Filipino Dessert Heaven.My first glance at this Yelp business and I knew we were going to make a stop. Lucky for us, we were just down the street. The car just steered itself into the nearest parking spot, and then my usually wobbly Filipino husband took off in a gallop and cleared the curb with ease. That's what good childhood memories do to an old man.Cassava cake. Seriously, one of the best I've ever had. Not too sweet, this is a sticky rice cake with a beautiful coconut flavor. And better yet, an insanely fabulous, rich custard layer (that is typically slightly blistered and burnt) was on top. I am so sad I only got one serving, but who knew? You can buy it by the piece, but you can buy a whole one. Next time, it's a whole one for me, and I promise to share. Maybe.And then there were the garlic peanuts. The peanuts were plump, perfectly roasted, salted, and combined with a generous amount of crispy garlic slivers. I figure I will be vampire-proofed for the next year. But I cannot wipe the smile off my face. These are so addictive! Get the big container. I did, shared it with my Filipino DIL, and ended up wishing I had purchased two.We did buy some other things, like a beautifully deep purple Ube cake, dried mangos, and two types of Turon. Turon looks like a fried Chinese eggroll or Filipino lumpia, but is sweet, both from the filling and the glaze, and is quite special. These were filled with either plantain, or with plantain and ube. Unfortunately, we did not taste any of these, they were given away as a gift to the DIL, so for now, it's just a hint of what you can look forward to.They also had some beautiful, frozen coconut and/or ube desserts that looked quite tempting. Something to try for another day when we are able to either rush them home to our freezer or eat them on the spot.I am looking into my handy dandy crystal ball and what I see makes me happy... I can count on frequent visits. Of course it sure helps that my husband has been obsessed by the peanuts and the Cassava (ok, me too), so it's inarguable. This is the best of the best.

Came here looking for authentic filipino desserts, pastries and snacks. They definitely have a good assortment of these. The place though is extremely small. There was only 1 family infront of us when we got there. By the time we paid and got what we ordered their was a line of about 5 families waiting to place their orders. Lady working the register was super nice but completely overwhelmed and didn't seem like she knew what she was doing..... The snacks and pastries and desserts were all really good and authentic. Premium pricing. Slow service, but friendly though.

Wanted something sweet, so I came here! Walked it, and it's super clean. Was welcomed We thought the overloads were actual drinks. My mom got the ube over load, and it was just chunks of ube that was hard to smash. The halaya was old super hard to mix in. Was stuck on the cup. She said it wasn't too sweet but just hard to eat. The avocado overload was okay. I just didn't like how the avocado was old. Some were hard and not ripe. Super hard to chew. Some of them were browning already. It just tasted funny I couldn't even finish it. I've ordered from them before and I loved there baked goods but the overloads not so much.

No date indicating when the pastries were baked. I bought pastries on Friday and enjoyed their caramel bars so much. On Sunday, I was going to eat the red velvet pastries I bought the same day, but I sadly found mold before I could open the bag. Please see the photos below. Very disappointed because I really enjoyed their caramel bars. Other than that the service was good. I would consider coming back if they started labeling their pastries with the date they were packaged and an expiration date.

Passed by Pugon today and i Decided to give Pugon another try, cus the ube ensaymada was my favorite when i first tried them. Unfortunately they dont have it today, but a very pleasant worker was very welcoming and has great recommendations. 5 star is for him.I didnt get his name tho. Excited to try their ube halaya on pandesal and spanish bread.

Found this cute Filipino bakery and was super happy to find ube crinkle cookies that tasted just like the ones I had in Hawaii. I will definitely be back to get more of these. The spanish rolls are really good too. The chocolate chip cookies looked delicious but it was a bit of a miss for me because I felt like it just needed more chocolate based on the thickness of the cookie. The texture is more like cake/bread/cookie. It's good but it could be better but that's just my opinion. Overall, this is a good find and I will be back to try all the other goodies.

TLDR; Pastries were okay, service was slow, and no labels or pricing on any of the desserts. Location has no sign of the restaurant name, it is posted on the door so a bit hard to find. -- Service took really long for someone to assist me upon entering, but the lady was really kind in helping me pack my silvanas which I selected an assortment of 6 (2 pandan, 1 jackfruit, 1 mango, 1 ube, and 1 original). Silvanas were a bit disappointing as I couldn't taste any of the flavors and it was missing that creamy, chewy, and flavorful bites I have tasted with other silvanas. Basically tasted like a macaron with powder; one of the silvanas was also crunchy to bite which tasted a bit over baked compared to the other ones which had a chewy element. The store was clean and they had a variety of pastries but I had no idea what the desserts were since there were no price signs nor labels. The cashier took a really long time to come out from packing my silvanas in the back so I couldn't ask her what everything in the store was since there was another woman waiting in line by the time she finally came out. I ended up getting the rice cakes with salted egg and cheese. It tasted decent, but not worth basically $1/each. Rice cakes were a bit dry and I still couldn't taste the pandan nor ube flavor. They looked really cute but was missing something.

I know that holiday season is very busy but you dont need to compromise the quality of your food. We ordered 2 trays of kutsinta last Chirstmas because when we went to the store and tried it, it was really good but when we had our tray order half of it went to waste. Our family & friends notice it that it was awful. But we still gave them a chance to redeem themselves. We ordered again for new year's eve an ube yema cake. Again, they did not do a great job. The cake sorrounding is burnt and the inside is dry. Because prior to ordering a whole cake we tried it and it was good. This time, it is just like the ready to make cake boxes at walmart. It is very frustrating because you tell your guests that it's good and the disapointment on their faces and the money we spent and that is our hard earn money.

Excellent Pastries. come check it out @ Ontario, CA. They serve only take out as there is no space for a dine it. Update: Cheese roll (aka spanish bread) delicious cassava cake - top notch Halo halo- ang sarap sarapthank you!

My first time visiting Pugon. Lots of stuff to buy and everything looks delicious. So I got crinkles, siopao, siomai and they are all good! Service was fast, store is clean, and owner is so sweet!
