I was a little disappointed on this last visit. I came in looking for some Filipino baked goods and to my surprise they didn't have much available. I usually look for pan de sal and pan de coco but none was available. In fact, there was hardly any fresh baked goods that day. We did not eat- in that day for we were not hungry at the time. Yes, this store is also a restaurant and you can order off their menu. Food here is good! Baked goods, when available is also good. That's why I was a little disappointed when I did not find any! Btw...we live in Maine and we always look forward to visiting Mercel's every time we go down to Kissimmee. Maybe we just stopped by the wrong day....who knows?
Update (10/5/24): Visited Mercel's again and this time it was much better than our last visit. The store was well stocked (full). We were able to find everything we were looking for. We even decided to order some ulam from their menu. We ordered BBQ and fried tilapia. On top of that, we also bought some pan de sal, pan de coco among...
Read moreWe left the Kabayan rest. And found this one Marcell bakery. The moment we walk in this lady is very polite and respectful and she greet us. That was very nice of her. We sat down and the lady gave us menu and she said help out self to get our drinks. The Atmosphere was acceptable not loud and she is very professional. While we waiting for our order I can hear her talking to other Filipino customers she is so respectful she call everyone Auntie. which is Tita in Tagalog and Tito which is Uncle... Oh that was so nice to hear something like that..She also call me Auntie.Lol..and call JD tito :) .The food was great. My husband really like the Sinigang pork with vegetables and the Lumpia (egg Roll) I order Pinakbit and lechon kawali..I don't eat lechon kawali because is alot of fat but I figured I just want to taste them. Is not bad at all. I gave them 5 stars because the service was great also the food. Thank you Marcell. We are going back there again in the future. I would recommend this...
Read moreWe were excited to find a place that could make the Filipino mocha cake my mom loves. It’s an hour away, but thought it would be worth it. Placed an order 2/9 for pickup 2/24. I was able to message the number on the website and received a very quick response time. Got the order placed for the Kissimmee location and confirmed within minutes. Pick up date was today 2/24. Our order wasn’t available. It did not appear the store staff member even had knowledge of our order. The only cakes available were rolls from Goldilocks and the only whole cake was a mango cake from Goldilocks… my suggestion would be that if you wanted to give them a try, consider calling in advance to confirm your order again and again the day prior to pick up. Also, pay upon receipt of the cake. I would have appreciated advanced notice if my order would not have been able to be filled. I now need to make a mocha birthday cake the day prior to the birthday… bummer it didn’t...
