Red Ribbon Bakeshop

*** Unilocal 100 CHALLENGE 97/​100***
Between the popular Filipino bakery chains, Red Ribbon sits atop my list. Why you ask? Because its taste is consistently good across the board. Products are always fresh and service is superb every time. Whenever I visit any one of their stores, it always reminds me of the hospitality and friendliness Filipinos are known for.
Everything that I’ve tried from Red Ribbon from cakes and pastries to their mini snack offerings like Palabok and Arroz Caldo have been good. Among our favorites are their Chicken Empanadas, I have yet to find a better version anywhere in Las Vegas or LA. Perfect flaky buttery crust with an abundant chicken filling. The kids favorites are their butter Mamon and Cheesy Ensaimada. Of course they’re famous for their Mango Cakes that’s always a hit to bring to parties, Filipino and non Filipinos alike. It’s very light and just the right amount of sweetness to let the true mango flavor shine thru. Recently they’ve introduced a new variation which is called Mango Supreme (starts at $ 20.99) that’s even better than the original one, more prominent mango flavor. The prices are very affordable as well which is a big plus.

Was greeted right away while I was looking at their variety of goodies. Ordered a slice of Ube overload, Mango cake, butter mamon and a chicken empanada cuz Aubrey asked if I wanted one lol. She was always smiling! Very fast and efficient service.
This place always has great goodies when you just need something sweet after eating at one of the delicious restaurant in Seafood City.

Their Mocha Mamon Sponge Cake is really good! It’s not an overly sweet sponge cake which I enjoy a lot. The girl cashier working was nice. The place was also really organized.

This bakery is amazing. I go in at least once a week. I always look forward to the variety of baked goods

Three words. Brazo de Mercedes.
I come here mainly for this amazing cake, just like how I go to the Louvre just for the Monalisa. Except, I can’t eat Monalisa. It is not a rolled cake made from soft meringue with custard filling, like the Brazo De Mercedes.
What’s good about it? The sponge like texture of the meringue literally melts in my mouth. My jaw loves the break. Plus, the light flavor of the meringue is balanced by the flavor of the rich custard filling. Absolutely delicious!
I closed my eyes, took a good bite and devoured life while imagining myself being somewhere in sunny Boracay…

If I want quality cake for decent price I come here. This place have good value meals that comes with a slice of cake.
I always get their pack of mango bar, chocolate slice and banana slice. They used to be $ 1 but they raised their price since July 1,2015 but still worth it. The mango bar is a Filipino special but I can guarantee you it’s yummy!

Went for the first time and they gave me a stale piece of cake. What kind of garbage is that. Like it had sat in the back or something all day. Worst place ever don’t ever come here

Oh my gosh — why is there not a Red Ribbon near us? Why? We were on vacation in Vegas, and this was one of my first stops. Ordered a slice of sans rival. SOOO good! On a couple of other visits we ordered ube mamon (yum), palabok (was okay, but I’m not usually a fan of palabok), and empanadas. I prefer the chicken, but my hubby said he likes the beef better. Don’t ignore the sign by the cashier of their different value meals. It’s a pretty good deal. I believe it’s palabok, plus a slice of cake, plus a drink for 6.99. Or if you want a smaller portion of palanbok, then you also get an empanada with the cake and drink for the same price. Not bad at all!

If you love caramel and coffee, the coffee crunch is the best for you! A whole cake ranges from $ 15 – 20 no tax. They also have real food.

Came here for some Ube sweets. We found what we were looking for without any issued. Excellent texture, taste and moisture level. I will be back here for more.

Horrible service! I ordered $ 145 worth of pastries and they overcharged me with sansrival that I never ordered. I called them to have them remove the charge, and the supervisor said, they can’t refund the charge! Worst guest service ever!

This is the worst place to go for Halo Halo and empanadas. They have also have horrible service.

Red Ribbon always gets it right! I bought a sheet of mango cake for my family and everyone loved it! It was delicious. The cake isnt cloyingly sweet. The filling/​icing holds up to the moist cake and its perfect with tea or coffee.
Try their butter mamon, mango bar and chicken empanadas. Its all yummy! You wont be disappointed.

This place leave so bad business for people… They say they close at 11 but dont want to sell ANYTHING after 10… Don’t understand how the manager or the owner let this happen. Such a good cakes for a horrible service

I’m Filipino and I don’t even like Halo-​Halo, but theirs is so delicious! The only reason I tried the Halo-​Halo here was because my aunt was excited to order this for me on my trip to Vegas, I didn’t have the nerve to tell her I don’t like Halo-​Halo… My husband, who also isn’t a big Halo-​Halo fan, really enjoyed Red Ribbon’s version.

Delicious Cakes and if you like empanadas, they actually serve Beef Empanadas. Clean environment. Love the MABON!

I prefer Goldilocks more, but end up buying from here more often just because it’s closer to my house and conveniently located inside Seafood City. I must say they do have the edge in their mango cake in comparison to Goldilocks. The cake and whipped topping is light while the mango is perfectly sweet, however all the other products I think are inferior to Goldilocks. In addition, the portion sizes here are more for like a family of 4 rather than Goldilocks which has bigger options. The bigger options are more ideal since these cakes and rolls are usually brought to Filipino parties. IMO even the ensaymada at Golidlocks is better because I prefer the texture of the pastry itself. Lastly Goldilocks puts together amazing children’s cakes, I’m not to sure if Red Ribbon can compete with them there since they have significantly less displays. To add to all of this, better value at Golidlocks with better tasting cakes. If Goldilocks was in Seafood City they would probably do more business. Sorry Red Ribbon you’re still the step child in my book.

Consistency… is when you go to any Red Ribbon location and you get the same quality and taste of food. Red Ribbon in Las Vegas, L.A. and Manila… they’re all the same.
I like the cakes here especially mango, sans rival, chocolate mousse, choco mocha crunch and crema de fruta. Their desserts aren’t extremely sweet which is unusual for Filipino desserts. A lot of Filipinos are diabetics. They use real fruits and the cakes are soft. They have the best mango cake ever.
Their mamon is super soft and buttery good. If you like mangoes but don’t want cake, the mango bars are great. Chewy and sweet bars with mangoes. They also have banana slice, brazo de Mercedes, mocha roll, ensaymada, empanada, siopao (steamed pork buns) which are pretty good. I’m not a fan of ube… but I heard from reliable sources that their ube cake is delicious. Their palabok (noodles with sauce, pork, fried garlic, sliced hardboiled eggs and green onions) is yummy. And what Filipino doesn’t like pan de sal (warm and soft bread rolls)?
I’m sure there are so many new bakeries and cafes in Manila but for now, the best chain bakery that has reached this country/​city is Red Ribbon. The other Filipino bakery is what my mom used to call «poor man’s bakery».

Delicious unique cakes and pastries at a reasonable price. It’s fun to browse through all the different sweets to pick out what you want. I got a ube mamon (purple yam sponge cake), a mango bar, and a slice of banana bread. Each was $ 1, tasted very fresh, with great flavor. Too bad there isn’t a Red Ribbon in AZ anymore!

Stopped here after the Rebels game on 11÷17÷11 with my friend Wesley C. because he needed to buy a cake for his mom’s friend because his mom forgot to pick it up. After walking over a mile from the Thomas and Mack to that shameful, bakery-​less Vons on Trop. and then to my car parked at Freakin’ Frog, I said let’s get on down the road. He wanted to try out Albertson’s but they didn’t have a large enough cake.
At 5 seconds to 10 PM, we ran into Red Ribbon and they told us they were closed. We ignored that and told them we needed to buy a cake. Wesley quickly picked out a chocolate cake, they wrote on it for us, and we each purchased some purple yam pastries. I got some sort of cake, he got a sweet roll. Now Wesley is totally not into any ethnic food, so he wasn’t too pleased with the pastry and gave the leftovers to me — each item was just okay, not as good as the homemade stuff that I’ve had. I have no idea how the cake he purchased tasted but it sure was pretty!
