Joy Bakery

So on our wild goose chase driving around Carson, we spotted this place in the hopes that they carried some hopia (which was my craving for the day). We had already stopped at two Filipino bakeries (one didn’t have any hopia left) and the other was closed (I’ll have to reflect on that on my own time) so spotting some Hopia Mongo on the shelves was like a background opera high note moment. There were no other varieties of hopia (my kids groove toward the Ube) but Mongo happens to be my favorite so I won’t dwell on that. I gave it a taste & it passed the «yum» test. They have pan de sal (sweet rolls), Enseymada, and Ube rolls on the shelves. It’s a to-​go bakery with no eating area so there isn’t a lot of room for larger varieties of products. They also have chicken empanada which the kids said «was good” – although it isn’t served warm – you have to eat is as is (which is about room temp) or heat it up at home. Service was good.

The very Best Pandesal in carson and they are very friendly people

$ 10 minimum purchase for card transactions!!!
This place is quite small. I walked in around 3:30pm, and a lot of their bread was already gone. I was the only one in the store, so the owner kept trying to make small talk, which is fine, but it got to a point where it got kinda awksauce. I could feel his eyes following me.
Anyways, I just settled for a bag of ube pan de sals, which was $ 2.20 for 6. Not bad. Since you need to purchase at least $ 10 to use your card, I almost freaked out. Luckily I had just a tad over $ 2.20, so I was able to pay for my bread. YAY!
The Ube Pan De Sal is delicious. The bread is sweet and the texture is very similar to King’s Hawaiian bread, and the ube – mmMMMmm – sweet and delicious. :)

used to go to the busy one across the street until i discovered this quaint friendly place. usual filipino baked goods. everything taste fresh and the place is cute, friendly and very tasty. ‘get in my belly!!!”

I love their cochinta and pan de sal! Since they make most of their pastries, you can order ahead of time if you are ordering in bulk. It was the case when I needed 200 cochintas for my family Christmas party. They even threw in about 2 cups of freshly grated coconut!

I love this bakery.
1. The customer service is great. The owner is welcoming and has knowledge on all the baked goods you find.
2. The taste of the variety of baked goods is amazing.
3. It is very neat and clean inside.
4. Everything is baked fresh THAT day.
5. It’s a great authentic filipino bakery.
6. Very accessible and easy to find parking.
7. Did i mention it taste fantastic?
I personally love the empenada. I recommend this place! 100%

Still craving bibingka since I didn’t get any from Luisa & Sons.
My Pinay friend asked me to go here with her because she really liked pan de sal from this place.
I got chicken empanada and I tasted one of her pan de sal breads.
Hot pan de sal: I dont like it.sorry. It’s fresh but kinda hard. The only hot pan de sal I like is from Valerio. My Pinay friend says pan de sal is a staple in Filipino family. I prefer Chinese sweet roll or King Hawaiian roll.
Chicken empanada ($ 1.10 if I am not mistaken): good but not great. My Pinay friend likes the empanada but it’s just okay for me. I prefer United Bakery’s empanada.
This bakery also has mini bibingka, mamon, ensaimada and polvoron.
The pretty lady @ the counter was so sweet and friendly.
3 stars!
Joy Bakery is almost yummylicious!

Great customer service… very welcoming.

The Pan De Sal was very good here but I gave it a low rating simply due to lack of choices. The place is so small its no wonder there are so few offerings. However, it is very close to my house so I am be frequenting this place again. One other tip, $ 10 minimum to pay via Credit Card.

Good whole in the wall bakery. Good lumpia and empanadas. it would be great if they made more so we can get them for dinner as usually after 1 they run out. Also they should get boxes for larger orders because some people like myself like to bring a dozen to friends as hostess gift…

I happened on this tiny bakery while visiting relatives nearby. Nestled in a filipino strip mall in Carson, this bakery is a local gem. As I walked in, I was hit with the delicious waft of freshly baked goods. Always a sucker for a good empanada, I was so excited to see that they were just fresh from the oven. Taking advantage of fresh out of the oven, I ate a couple right then and there. Pretty mind blowing, flaky, tender and tasty and took me back to when I was a child. I also had a few cheese rolls and a couple bags of pandesal which I took home and had for breakfast the next day. It’s so refreshing to have a fresh, homemade alternative to the baked goods at your local grocery store. I wish this place was closer to where I live. From now on, every time I am down in Carson, I will absolutely stop in to get my fix.

I’m really excited about having this bakery so close to my work. They offer some of the best bake goods and fresh coffee in the South Bay. The owners are really friendly also!

Hi, I’m Nick H. and I Love Pandesal!
This is a new owner of a previous bakery at the same location. She told me the workers were the same. The prices are unbeatable. I spent a whopping 4 bucks for a pandasal and Pan de Ube and Pan de Leche. Mabuhay!
Pan de Ube –4.5 Stars!
mmmm the bread was so soft and fluffy like a baby’s bottom minus the crack. The middle was filled with thick ube paste. I bought a pack of 6 and ate four of them before I could make it out of the parking lot.
Pan de Leche was lacking flavor and was dry. i got the last bag so maybe it was older. I have had better. 2 Stars.
Customer service was very nice and parking is relatively easy.

Joy Bakery is the BEST!!! Its pandesal is a favorite of the La Salle Alumni Association of Southern California. LOVE THIS BAKERY! Thank you!

By far one of the best Filipino Bakery, they have Yummy empanadas and it’s only a $ 1, free coffee, wow! Best tasting hot pandesal, the pan de ube, bread pudding, monay are all great! I’m so impress… I’m so glad I stopped in. Btw, the cashier and everyone that works here are all so friendly :) I heart JOY Bakery.

There’s a new Filipino bakery in town and it’s called Joy Bakery.
My mom and I noticed Joy Bakery after I saw some bright neon signs and a big red star balloon outside. We saw some folks go in and knew it was open.
Walking in the place looks very neat. They have their breads and pastries to the left. The pastries I noticed were mamon (Filipino sponge bread) and chocolate cupcakes. They also have desserts like leche flan. At the counter, they have some lumpia (egg rolls), turon (banana egg rolls) and pancit (Filipino noodles).
For this first trip, my mom and tried the empanadas. Empanada are $ 1 each.
The empanadas are small and filled with chicken. It is a nice little treat.
It is definitely best when eaten warm.
I noticed that they are offering free coffee for customers. They also had some samples of Filipino dessert that were sliced pretty big
I’d like to try the pan de sal next time. Pan de sal is $ 2 and one guy exclaimed they’re were the best.
I am looking forward to trying more goodies from the newest Filipino bakery in town!
