Addicted to the empanadas and the pan de sal. Friendly staff and service. I also love all the filipino items you can pick up there. Reminds me of being in the motherland.
Haven't tried any of the savory here yet but I picked up a dozen of Turon today. Fried banana & jack fruit, not a combination I come across often in this type of Pilipino goodies, wrapped in crispy caramelized shell. It's a great light option for dessert and Joy Bakery has some of the best turon I've eaten right in the heart of Carson. Definitely my go to place in the Southbay when I'm not in Cerritos for some turon. Next time will have to try the crispy patata or the chicken adobe
The turon is delicious. I highly recommend it. The owner is friendly and very welcoming.
We had a large pre-order for Easter and though they don't have an online system that could give you a confirmation number, they did honor our phone order. Even though we communicated through a third party, every single item I ordered was there and the price quoted to me was the same as what I had to pay when I came to pick up. Also, the order was ready on the date and time that I requested. When I arrived, I noticed that they offer a lot more than what I've ordered. In the very short time that I was in there, I noted that they have the following Biko - sweet sticky rice cooked with coconut milk and brown sugar. Cassava Cake - a dense cake made from cassava (a root vegetable), milk, coconut milk, sugar, butter, cheese and is topped with, well the closest description I could think of is "flan". Pichi Pichi - bite sized desserts made with cassava roots also but with no milk. Turon - deep-fried, egg-roll-wrapper-wrapped, plantains with caramelized sugar coating it. Puto - essentially a steamed cake Kutsinta - steamed rice flour cakes Kropek - shrimp flavored crackers Pan De Sal - bread rolls JOY'S BAKERY is part of a large center with other interesting looking food establishments. There was a large free parking lot in the center. There was no line to get in and no line to pay for our stuff. There is no place to sit inside or outside. Grab and go only. Friendly staff.
Love this bakery!! I always get pandesal here. It's my fave and the closest to what I used to get back home. Fluffy, slightly sweet and delicious. Way better than Valerio's imo. I always get them hot and fresh even around noon! It seems like they make it all day. A bag of 10 pcs is only $3 something!! Its still fairly cheap given the inflation! They are still reasonably priced, knowing that the prices skyrocketed EVERYWHERE! Another favorite is their veggie spring roll!!! The dip is just so good as well! Its always a hit at parties too. They fry them fresh daily but u cant expect them to be hot all day, let's be realistic here. I dont even eat it all right away even when i get them fresh from the fryer. I just pop them in the air fryer and theyre soo good! Most of all, my favorite is the cashier! Im not sure if she's ate joy lol or the owner but she's extremely nice, warm, and friendly! I enjoy coming here because it truly feels like home! Highly recommend them!!
This is a staple in my family's indulgent purchases! Joy's Bakery offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, plus an array of Filipino classics (think traditional and purist ingredients. Not over exaggerated color & additives like major chain bakeries). I always feel welcomed here (despite me trying to to remember the names of the baked goods my family always order). It's unfortunate the last few reviews had off days, but the baked goods my family buys from here are consistent and delicious. As a first generation, the baked goods always remind my parents of home. And for that I'm thankful they're still in business!
All i know is how delicious their Filipino fried egg rolls are-always crispy & goes very well with the vinegar they provide. My co-worker buys it from them. So a SHOUT OUT to Joy's Bakery for the egg rolls. I'll be the judge of the rest of their products when I visit their location--if they're as delicious as the egg rolls, I'll be thoroughly impressed. Hope it'll be a 5 when I go. For now it's 4 coz i'm waiting to to be delighted
