Philippine Bread House

If you're Pinoy and you don't visit this place, you're a total loser. It's a must visit along with Max's and Jolibee. Best Filipino bread house in the east coast. They even put Red Ribbon to shame on some items.

You can also order Filipino Lechon here which is to die for. Got a 15LB Lechon and it fed 40 of us (Of course along with Pancit + rice, etc.)

Great place to go for Pandesal as well.

Just bought and tried some cheese rolls at a Asian market in Bethlehem PA made by PBH, so yummy, missed this taste for so long. Can't wait to visit the actual store.

Best bread , if I could give them 6 stars I would

How did I end up around the corner from what is supposed to be the best Filipino bakery in the Tri-State area? Not sure, but I'm happy I did! I used to hit Philippine Bread House somewhat regularly. Staff is generally friendly, except for an older woman who doesn't really speak English (and even she's not that bad). The young guy who works the bakery is great in particular. On weekends, this place will have a line 20 people deep at peak times, made up of all ages and races. It's an anchor for Journal Square, and the bakery lives up to the hype.

The pan de sal (little rolls cooked with salt) are tasty, and you get them freshly baked. The bicho (fried cruller with sugar) is a great substitute to Dunkin' Donuts or just about anything else. Their empanadas, while small, are cheap and tasty with a nice, sweet breading to them. Cake rolls, ensaymadas, and ube bread are all great--in particular anything flavored with ube. Best thing they sell though has to be the lengua de gato, which are small, silky smooth sugar wafers shaped like little cat tounges. Once you get past the weird name, they're addictive. While I can't quote the prices for all of these, lets just say they're very reasonable.

Their cafe is more of a mixed bag. I've gotten some things I really liked, and some that I ended up tossing. I'd recommend sticking to the safe stuff like lumpia, beef with peppers and onions, pancit, etc. The food really just sits out in the open, so the earlier you get it the better. Prices are around $10 for 2 meats with rice, which is a good deal given the portion. Just use your discretion when ordering. Also it's worth noting that you have to pay for cafe items separately from the bakery, which is a pain in the ass. All in all, still a great place to have nearby though.

Philippine Bread House is so famous within the Filipino community! My favorite thing to do is to drop by on the weekend and get a bad of fresh hot pan de sal! The rolls are big. Cut in half and add butter. It's so good. Excellent for breakfast with your coffee or just a snack or side dish with dinner.
