Jesse's Bakery & Restaurant

Aloha; this philipino food is super good. Might be one of the best I have ever had. But I just wish the atmosphere was nicer when you go there. It is defintly old school but now days you have to modernize the place to attract people. But the food is amazing.

No dine in!!! Food was amazing! There was 7 of us so collectively we ordered basically everything on the menu and it was all AMAZING! So yummy!

Great comfort food. Portion sizes are good.

If you like Filipino food this is a great place to go. Breakfast is great. They have a special 2.99 you get 1 egg 1 pandasal and coffee. I got side order longanisa (3.50). Also they have a bake shop too. It's nice little sit down style family dinner...

Jesse's Coffee Shop and Restaurant is tucked away at a corner of a small plaza across from 7-Eleven and adjacent to where Loulen's Courte used to be located. Parking is limited. Whenever I think about Jesse's, the terms "old-school" and traditional Filipino food comes to mind--run by the Titas, Nanas, Lolas, and the Tatas. For those who have frequented a mom and pop Filipino food establishment and are also thinking tray warmers, fret not. There were no tray warmers used in sight. Upon entering through the doors with the lighted open sign, you will not be greeted or aknowledged as it is customary to allow on-lookers and guests to gawk at the overhead menu. When ready, you'll need to take the initiative to walk up to the counter, ask for the full menu and possibly a table if you're dining in. Food is cooked to order. I ordered the pork gisantes and chicharon. Whenever trying out a Filipino restaurant, I judge the establishment by their pork guisantes or adobo. White rice is complimentary, just ask for it. Pork gisantes, also known as pork and peas, is a stewed dish in a tomato and pork-fond fortified with red bell pepper, onions, and garnished with green peas. Jesse's pork gisantes, to my disappointment, had chewy (not tender) strips of pork with a pool of risidual oil separating from its sauce. The sauce, when strained of its excess oil, is tasty. Jesse's Chicharon is a deep fried pork belly chopped up and tossed with diced yellow onions, green onion, and tomatoes, I added drops of fish sauce from one of the available condiments on my table. It was crispy, porky, and salty-tomatoey. Pair it with the provided vinegar dipping sauce to counter the richness. Combine it with white rice to subdue the flavor. Service is at a diner level. Water and the food are brought​ to the table. Dishes are bused by the wait staff. The over all experience was pleasantly filling, well lit, and quiet with white noise of dish wear clinking and ilocano between staff personnel.
