I recently visited Gemmae Bake Shop with high hopes of indulging in some delicious ube treats. I got the ube tres leches, ube banana cream pie, ube ensaymada, and ube macapuno ensaymada. Unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired.

The main letdown was the lack of genuine ube flavor in any of the items. Despite their vibrant purple color, none of the treats captured the taste of ube that I was craving. Also, the ube macapuno ensaymada contained unexpected coconut-tasting jelly shreds, which tasted terrible.
