Great Filipino inspired bakery that makes traditional bakery items with a unsuspecting Filipino twist. Hard to pick which local bakery I prefer between Kasama and Lost Larson. Both tend to sell out so don't sleep too late. In addition to being a great bakery, they also are an amazing full menu restaurant that has great brunch items and dinner as well.
