“ Love this store. Philipino products and friendly service. Hidden gem. ”
“ Love the freshness of their produce and ube bread snacks. Also love that they carry Filipino ice cream like macapuno, ube and halo halo. Their boneless bangus is also delicious. My mom loves their sardines. I like the low sodium options because my mom has high blood pressure. Nice workers. Love practicing my Ilocano with them. ”
“ I just stumbled into this place earlier today let me tell you, this is exactly what gilroy needed. Staff was friendly, store was well stocked with our favorite Filipino snacks, noodles, fresh veggies and breakfast meats. They carry a pretty good selection of magnolia ice cream too. I was also told they also have Valerios bakery products but do sell out fast. Im so glad I found this place! ”
