Trining’s Bakery & Cafe National City — Restaurant in National City

The best Filipino pan de sal in South San Diego. 7:45 am, nice warm in paperbag, is best time after some walk. Feel nostalgic waking up early to walk next door and the aroma of freshly baked plain bread back in Las Pinas. And we did had our own Antipolo, Rizal then. It's like being in the Philippines. This South San Diego specifically National City is second home for us. The Best weather, (like Baguio city or Tagaytay with little hills) since my east coast years, with mostly predominantly Filipino environment. I also get the ube macapuno cheese ensaymada. I also buy the Filipino cheezy bar. Thank God for this part of his plan in our unplanned destination....

I only trust Gemmae’s Bakeshop for Filipino breads, cakes and Pastries. They also have delicious dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Always fresh, because they only bake and cook on small batches. Their pandesal is the best in San Diego. It is a must-try. I buy 4 packs at once since they always run out, will freeze them and tastes freshly baked after defrosting. The owner, Josie is very friendly and accommodating on whatever request i have. Karen, one of the salespersons is also great. They even know the names of their customers - they serve with a personal touch! Thanks Josie and Karen! See you...

What a hidden gem! I felt so welcomed like I was having lunch at Grandma’s house and I was family. The service is so friendly and kind. The food was amazing as well. One of the best Filipino breakfast spots and pan de sal bread! They don’t just sell cakes and desserts. In the back corner is hot to go food and lumpia. Come check out this hidden San Diego Filipino food gem and support a wonderful small...
