Reviews for Gemmae Bake Shop in Long Beach, CA
The food was very good authentic Filipino food. It was very tasty and fresh. I was at this location at 7am on a weekday as the... only customer. I have been a customer many years ago and I noticed that they renovated by relocating food area to showcase moreitems. I have only one bad thing is that the parking lot at the front door smells so bad. Anyway I will be back soon to try somemore items at breakfast to go. Fyi they have Google pay contactless payment which makes it easy to pay faster. Read more
The coconut jackfruit rice pudding has a lovely flavor and texture. Place was clean and good service.
We would buy ube macapuno birthday cakes here sometimes for years but haven?t in a long time. Since it was my dad?s 80th this... weekend, I wanted to definitely make it special and get a half sheet from Gemmae?s. I was surprised it only came out to $65. Thecake was not overly sweet and was light, but tasted nothing like ube? just super purple. Disappointing that the quality has gonedown. I?d rather pay more for a cake that truly tastes like ube than one that is just filled with food coloring. The worst partis that they also did not have the correct writing. I had someone else pick it up, otherwise I would?ve had it corrected beforebringing it to our birthday celebration. Look at the terrible placement of the ?80th? ? also underneath ?Dad? his name wassupposed to be written. And the date was wrong. It should say ?March 4? not 5. Read more
Some info for those wanting to eat hot(e.g. non baked) foods: Breakfast item trays are put out at 6:30am. They supposedly start... putting out lunch items from "9am to 10am" where you can get a combination of both. And by 10am all the lunch items areavailable... Then by 11am they start selling out. Overall the food was a pleasant surprise. I'm not terribly familiar with PHfood as I did not catch all the item names but the Machado, Adobo and Kare Kare were all very nice. Very well paired with plainwhite rice. My only complaint would be that the food is really oily. Some of the dishes were swimming in pools of oil that wehad to drain out before eating. However this was similar to my experience in the Philippines so this might be consideredauthentic. Anyway I definitely plan to come back and try more. Read more
