I ordered to go items and the silvana cookies did not disappoint. Service and deliverance was prompt.

True gem in Tracy! My friend introduced me to Ellis creamery! Little did I know that they sell all of my favourites! From silvanas, sansrival, ensaymada and empanada. And of course their home made ice cream! Silvanas. I love that it is individually packaged, it's thick and the sweetness is perfect. It's unlike others that hit or miss with the sweetness or milkiness of the silvanas. The meringue has the nice crunch. We had the cashew, ube and oreo and all of them are good! Ensaymada. The bread is cooked perfectly! I love the variety of flavours that they offer, I personally love the Pork Floss! Salted egg, green tea and dulce de leche are great options as well! I wish they had a store in LA! Pro tip! They make everything from scratch, so the demand is always high. There might be shortage in stock in their store but to get around with it, you can order ahead of time and reserve! Beat everyone else by ordering online!

As soon as we opened the doors, we were welcomed and comforted by the smells of freshly baked pandesal. Ooh-wee, we were excited. My cousin sampled the Durian ice cream. I only sniffed it. Smelled fine, and my cousin said it tasted good. But she ordered the Black Sesame ice cream instead. We shared chocolate and Macademia ice cream and the black sesame ice cream in my sister's car and noticed lots of customers going in. Looks like a popular place, not so hidden anymore! The chocolate macadamia ice cream wasn't too sweet, perfectly balanced, creamy, and our favorite. 10/10. Black sesame ice cream was an 8.5/10. I had the cheese ensaymada the next day, and it was still amazingly soft and yummy. I've tried many ensaymadas, and this was by far the best. I had been settling with dry ones! We ordered a half dozen of the ensaymadas and split them. Will return to try other flavors and empanadas as well. Service was excellent with warm, welcoming smiles.

We intentionally stopped by on our way to a concert in Modesto. Everything we ordered was so yummy. Favorites were Spanish bread, caramel ensaymada, ice cream, and empanadas. I got pistachio dessert, but it was a bit sweet for my taste though good. Pandesal was small, but really tasty. The young ladies who attended to us were super helpful and friendly.

Found out about this place from my aunt in Modesto because otherwise I would have never heard of it myself. It is a small Filipino bakery inside a National gas station in Tracy. They sell the most delicious ensaymadas that are so moist and sylvanas that are to die for! They have various flavors but my favorite ensaymadas are the ube and oreo and the pistachio sylvanas. We stopped by on our way back from SoCal so I knew we would arrive closer to closing so I called ahead around 2pm and I am glad I did because they only had 5 sylvanas total left. The girl working was so nice and accommodating that she reserved them for me even though we were still almost 3 hours away! If in the area, I highly recommend you stop by and try these delectables!

This Filipino bakery cum ice cream store is in a gas station and it is a hidden gem. Ube ice cream is a unique flavor from this store and it is a must try ice cream in this store and the price is reasonable. I also had couple of bread rolls, it is 50 cents a piece and very fresh but I felt it had lot of yeast and it smelled yeast I am not sure if all Filipino breads have lot of yeast. Chicken empanada is really good, the chicken stuff inside tastes like a chicken pie it has lot of veggies with creamy texture. They are baked fresh every day and by the time I went there, only couple of them were left. There are couple of tables in the gas station to have the ice cream. The staff is very friendly and they suggested what to try as I went there for the first time and they deserve some tip. We should encourage these small businesses as they make everything fresh.

You know you're on Filipino turf when the customers in front of you are sassy Filipino aunties with one taking a phone call delving straight into loud gossip dramatics lol. They ordered a bunch of halo-halo drinks.....the drinks looked pretty hefty and if I didn't have to drive right after leaving here I would've most likely gotten one too (darn you 85+ degree weather!). Anyway, I visited here to pick up a 6" ube sans rival cake that I ordered online as well as to grab some ensaymadas. If you don't know what a sans rival cake is, it's a cake with thin meringue layers (they're crispy and chewy.....think of very flattened French macaron shells) covered in buttercream and chopped cashews. In general I'm not the ultimate fan of standard sans rival cakes because the buttercream typically used tastes like straight whipped butter (the polar opposite to super rich American buttercream, which I'm not a fond of either #picky). I love the meringue layers in the cake though and I was hoping that the cake being ube flavored would make it much better. In terms of the particular ube sans rival cake here, the meringue layers were amazing, but the ube taste was unfortunately very subtle. As for ensaymadas, I highly recommend pre-ordering them online because at the time that I visited (Sat afternoon) there were very slim pickings. I should've ordered these ahead of time with the cake but I was lucky in that I still got all of the flavors that I wanted to try. The ensaymadas were pretty good! Dinner-roll soft with zero staleness (Goldilocks, who??). I was caught off guard on the first bite since it was kinda strikingly salty from the cream but after quickly acclimating to the Filipino food palate I was fine lol. I was most surprised on the green tea one.....it wasn't typical green tea but actually legit real matcha! Bold earthy goodness. Overall definitely recommend checking this spot out for Filipino sweets. It's tucked inside the back corner of the National gas station food market and is right off of the 205 freeway!

Ever since I saw the KQED story about this Filipino dessert spot/bakery, I've had my fair share of... almost everything! I'll start with their Pan de sal.  It's not the usual "by the bag" purchase that you would see at Valerios Bakery. These mini rolls you buy per piece and it's usually straight out of the oven.  I had to wait for these a few times before, and it's worth the short wait.  Get em while they're hot and fluffy! Their ensaymadas here are soft, fresh, not too sweet, and nicely packaged. Having different flavors like oreo, green tea, and dulce de leche are a plus and great for parties or gifts.  Just don't be alarmed that some toppings stick to the packaging. I use the packaging as a messy plate and do the wipe and bite technique. I'm a fan of their regular cheese, ube cheese, and salted egg.   It's been a while since I've had a good empanada. Here at Ellis, I found a GREAT empanada!  The chicken filling included a mix of carrots, peas, raisins and had a noticeable bell pepper-y taste. Breading is light, flaky, and buttery.  Again, these come out fresh from the oven.  Perfect for a snack or light lunch. Pairs well with a Coke!! I finally had their Pistachio Sansrival cake.  It's tall and pleasing to the eye.  I prefer the shallower sheets of this type of meringue layered buttercream cake.  Nevertheless, the taste was out of this world, with their version of French buttercream and nuttiness of the pistachio. Not too sweet, light and crisp.  Better when served lightly frozen.  Their Silvanas were also a treat for me.  These puck-sized treats mimicked the light and crispy texture, with that magical buttercream filling.   Creamery is in their name and they didn't disappoint in the ice cream department. Ube, pistachio, and sweet corn are my favorites... for now. Their halo halo dessert was just okay for me.  I guess I'm used to more ingredients to mix mix.  The Ube ice cream made this dessert. I was more impressed with their Buko Pandan with that vanilla-coconut-ty taste with little amount of jelly nuggets. A dynamite iced dessert, even during wintertime! When KQED says, "This Filipino gas station dessert shop is among Norcal's most delicious secrets," I'd have to agree.  Although, it's not really a secret anymore. Can't wait to get me some fresh-out-of-the-oven goods this week!
