Baking With Ish — Restaurant in San Gabriel

I have been a big fan of Baking With Ish since they opened in Blossom Market Hall. It’s always such a treat to grab something delicious, uniquely flavored, and beautifully decorated from the pastry case, all the while knowing you’re supporting a Filipino-owned small business!

Well, I am an even BIGGER fan of Ish and his works of art after I recently placed a catering order for a party. I ordered an ube cheese pie, key lime pie, and a few dozen cookies (ube, sprinkles, pinipig chocolate chip, blue corn chocolate). Everything was so delicious — you could tell the ingredients were of high quality, presentation was awesome, and communicating with Ish back and forth to finalize and then pick up the order was easy.

My guests were so impressed and some even said the cookies were some of the best they’d EVER had — and they’re a tough crowd to impress! I will definitely order from Ish again for future events, and in the meantime will continue to patronize his bakery at Blossom Market Hall. We’re so lucky to have such a great bakery in the...

I've never experienced anything like this before at a business. I was 3 minutes early and was buried in my phone with work. The door was unlocked and I entered. I left when asked and waited outside with one other person who just arrived as I walked out. The owner slammed the door in my face, and locked it behind me.

Rather than taking accountability or attempting to resolve the situation, they went as far as having my review removed. What started as a misunderstanding has spiraled into the current situation. This shows not only a lack of professionalism but also a lack of respect for customers.

If you're considering coming here, please think carefully. A business should welcome its customers and treat them with basic courtesy, not hostility or personal attacks. I personally will not be giving them my...

A deliciously sweet addition to grace the blossom hall food hall! Ish's signature pies, breads, expresso buns, cookies, cakes, are always in small batches, and has something new and in season everytime I stop by! You can taste the love and passion of these modern Filipino inspired desserts that anyone can enjoy. I will say the pies are a must!

I've liked everything so far, and though the price may be a bit steep for some, know that you are supporting a small bakery with big taste! A friend introduced me to his decadent desserts, and I've been hooked since!

I strongly suggest following the Ish Instagram page (bakingwithish) to see the latest updates and any new flavors he's concocted. They close relatively early, or until they sell out, so come early, grab a sweet bite, and...
