United Bread & Pastry - Los Angeles, California

This should be what people means when they say something is “inflation-resistant”. I can’t fathom how they are able to provide baked goods at such a high quality but low price apart from the fact that maybe they don’t have to pay rent Definitely recommend giving this spot a try if you’re in the area.

I bought a turon and a pandan hopia, totaling to $2. Both were warm (not partially but warm throughout which suggest they were either made very soon before or were kept in a heated environment) and tasted super fresh. I preferred the turon; the outside was crispy and caramelized, and the inside tasted like a plantain but also had jackfruit umami. The layers were clearly defined and the texture was great. Comparatively the pandan hopia was not as sweet, but the filling was soft and gooey. It’s not really a dough-y or bread-y texture but in between bread and pastry, so it was quite unique.

Very homey filipino bakery selling all kinds of bread and pastries. They have empanadas, turon (banana egg roll with jackfruit), traditional rice cakes, birthday cakes, party platters, and pies (cassava/egg). They also have a small grocery section inside.
The ladies here are very kind!

Parking is very limited. Cash or card.

Wow this place was so good. I got hopie (pandan flavor + ube flavor), a small flaky bun. I also got turon which is similar to Latin friend plantain deserts with syrup. Both were so good. The hopie were both super flakey and had very flavorful fillings, they felt delicately prepared. The turon was very flavorful and tasted fresh. The staff was extremely friendly, I had a great visit to United bread and pastry and will be an ambassador to their excellence at each opportunity that presents itself

This Filipino bakery is hands down the best in town! Every item they serve is pure perfection, from their soft and fluffy pandesal to their beautifully crafted ensaymada. But what really steals the show is their *turon* – crispy on the outside, sweet and perfectly caramelized on the inside. It’s no wonder it’s their most famous item!

Not only is the food top-notch, but the service has recently taken a huge step up. There’s a new team member, a kind, humble, and hardworking man who goes above and beyond to make every customer feel welcome. His warm smile and helpful attitude really elevate the entire experience, making you feel like family the moment you step through the door.

This bakery truly has it all – amazing food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're grabbing a quick snack or treating yourself to a full spread of Filipino delights, this place never disappoints. If you haven’t tried their famous *turon* yet, do yourself a favor and stop by – you’ll be hooked from the first bite!

Highly recommended – a gem for anyone craving authentic Filipino flavors!

This place is such a hidden gem!!! I almost just walked by it and had to go inside to find out whether they were actually open.

But I’m SO glad I went in.

Their selection I’ll say, is pretty wide although the place appears small. Their pricing is reasonable and service was really good (they didn’t get annoyed with my endless questions!).

I got hopias (ube, mung bean, onion) and plantain lumpias.

Oh my God... the hopias were SO good and the lumpias, I don’t know how they do it but they sweetened the wrap itself and it’s sooo good altogether! The crispy and chewy, gooey wrap coverig the soft and delicious plantain(tasted more like banana to me) inside.

I’d like to try their empanadas next time!!

The place was ok. Finding a parking space was a challenge, but mainly, steer clear of their hopia. I was hoping for an authentic and good hopia since it was rated 4.6 stars here and ordered 2 boxes worth $50+ hoping to send 1 box to relatives out of state. But when I got home and started to taste some of the hopia, I couldn't even get past 1 bite. It was stale, flaky, and disgusting. Like it's been sitting there for more than a week. You can tell it was an old batch. The filling was subpar. The durian hopia was disappointing and not a hint of durian. I feel so embarrassed that I sent a box of these disgusting hopia to my relatives. I should've just drove the extra 10 miles and got some from Hopia like it in Winnetka. They do not disappoint. Please do better and improve your food quality because this is an embarrassing representation to us Filipinos.

I have been craving for authentic Filipino sweets lately and unbeknownst to me this small shop was right under my nose all these years. UBP is a mom ‘n pop pastry shop who has been making Filipino sweets, pastries and cakes for 30+ years in Silver Lake. Impressive! They’re located on Griffith Park blvd and Sunset blvd sandwiched between a modern restaurant and a gourmet organic market. I came early morning to grab one of their pastries and check out other Filipino goodies. Interior space was very, very small and a little cramped. However, it’s filled with bread, pastries and other goodies. I was greeted by a young staff, possibly one of the owner’s children attending to their shop. He was welcoming and friendly. I ordered their famous Turon, a deep fried plantain wrapped in spring rolls sprinkled with brown sugar. It was warm, sweet and crunchy. It’s plantain was very soft and sweet. Pure perfection! Turon cost $1.75 bucks each. In general, their prices were reasonable and affordable. They cater to all occasion, hence, the party trays. Parking lot was significantly small. Side street meter parking are available. Overall, I had a good take out order and I highly recommend this pastry shop.
