Drinks: Ube Matcha Latte 🍠💚

Matcha Biscoff Latte If you’ve got a sweet tooth, these two are calling your name. Both are super sweet, indulgent, and absolutely satisfying — perfect dessert-like drinks. 9/10

Hibiscus Mansi A bold, refreshing combo of tangy hibiscus and zesty calamansi — citrusy, floral, and super bright.

Calamansi with Butterfly Pea Flower Tea This drink is magic in a cup! It starts deep blue and shifts to golden sunshine, with a vibrant lemony, citrus-forward flavor.

Both of these non-latte drinks lean tart and citrusy, and I loved how refreshing they were. 8/10

Bakery Items: Ube lovers — do not, I repeat, DO NOT skip the ube here.

Ube Crinkle Cookies

Ube Cannoli

Ube Ice Cream The ube cannoli is a standout — such a creative and fun twist on a classic. Everything ube here is spot-on and worth ordering 10/10

Breakfast & Lunch: Tapsilog (10/10) If you’re only getting one thing — let it be this. The beef is marinated using the owner’s grandmother’s recipe, and you can taste the love. Paired with garlic rice and a perfectly cooked egg? Absolute perfection.

Birria Tacos (9/10) Better than some dedicated Mexican spots I’ve tried. The broth is flavorful, well-seasoned, and — importantly — not greasy.

Ultimate Breakfast Chorizo Sandwich (9/10) A chorizo patty, hashbrown, cheese, and a sunny-side-up egg on an English muffin — it’s heavy in the best way. Super satisfying, and exactly what you want in a breakfast sandwich.

Ambiance: Adorable cartoon-style decor, plenty of seating, and an overall welcoming vibe. 8/10

Affordability: Pretty standard pricing for a bakery/cafe spot. The meals were well portioned too 7/10

Final Thoughts: If you’ve been curious to try Filipino food, or just want really good food, this is your sign to go. Bits & Bites is a 10/10 spot, hands down. Don’t sleep on it.
