United Bread & Pastry — Restaurant in Los Angeles

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...

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...

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...
