Gwenie's Pasteries in Bethesda is where my Filipino friends go.

Not to hijack, but what else is good at a Filipino bakery to try?

Gwenie's is classic and amazing and a good deal. You could also get fancy modern updates at Rose Ave Bakery downtown.

Basically try everything, especially if it has ube, which is a purple yam. Gwenie’s ube cheesecake and ube cake are our favorites. They sell by the slice so you can sample lots of things. Their biko (cassava cake) is also really good, as is the ube loaf.

We got pandan crinkle cookies from a Filipino food truck. Does Gwenie’s have them?

I just saw a new restaurant opened in Annandale, Sari Filipino Kosinsk if anyone reading this thread is interested. Looked good. They had a jackfruit ube pudding on the dessert menu.

Gwenie’s only has chocolate and ube crinkle cookies.

Thanks so much! Never heard of or tried ube. Very excited.

Also, tell your DH they're opening a Red Ribbon in Wheaton!

Can't speak to authenticity, but we've ordered a bunch of stuff from https://chefevakronenburg.com/ out in Sterling and found it all delicious. Spanish bread, flan donuts, ube cheesecake, and sans rival cake have been my faves.
