Some info for those wanting to eat hot(e.g. non baked) foods:
Breakfast item trays are put out at 6:30am. They supposedly start putting out lunch items from "9am to 10am" where you can get a combination of both. And by 10am all the lunch items are available... Then by 11am they start selling out.
Overall the food was a pleasant surprise. I'm not terribly familiar with PH food as I did not catch all the item names but the Machado, Adobo and Kare Kare were all very nice. Very well paired with plain white rice.
My only complaint would be that the food is really oily. Some of the dishes were swimming in pools of oil that we had to drain out before eating. However this was similar to my experience in the Philippines so this might be considered authentic.
Anyway I definitely plan to come back and try more.

We would buy ube macapuno birthday cakes here sometimes for years but haven’t in a long time. Since it was my dad’s 80th this weekend, I wanted to definitely make it special and get a half sheet from Gemmae’s. I was surprised it only came out to $65. The cake was not overly sweet and was light, but tasted nothing like ube… just super purple. Disappointing that the quality has gone down. I’d rather pay more for a cake that truly tastes like ube than one that is just filled with food coloring. The worst part is that they also did not have the correct writing. I had someone else pick it up, otherwise I would’ve had it corrected before bringing it to our birthday celebration. Look at the terrible placement of the “80th” … also underneath “Dad” his name was supposed to be written. And the date was wrong. It should say “March 4” not 5.

The coconut jackfruit rice pudding has a lovely flavor and texture. Place was clean and good service.

The dessert we got was good. Its clean. The only negative thing i can say is when I went the store was empty and 3 employees standing around doing nothing really, not one of them greated me at all or asked me if I needed any help.

Love this place! Have been going here for years. These are probably the BEST lumpias I have ever had. They also have pan size for parties as well. We can order and pick up the next day.

First time we tried their food at a birthday party. It was so delicious we had to go for ourselves at a later time. We ordered pick up and drove the 30min drive just to find out they “didn’t see the order” and had us wait an additional 25-30 min to make our order. We tried to eat the pancit but kept getting some tome of paper in several bites. This place is terrible!

Parking is scarce. Had to park at a residential area. Cake I bought wasn't as palatable like I thought it would be for my taste buds. I had a good customer service experience. However it's good to try other filipino bakeries as a food critic to rate them first hand.
