SaySoSweets Filipino and Hawaiian Cafe and Bakery

Every time I’m in the area, I plan to stop by! Ordered to go- longsilog breakfast, filipino spaghetti, lumpia. Did not disappoint! So delicious. Did not have to wait long at all for them to make it fresh! It’s still a small location but I was told they might be moving soon.

Place is run by awesome folks and greet you right when you come in. They've got great twist on Filipino desserts and they have Filipino breakfast items on their menu. Do recommend trying their Kona iced coffee, and their ube pancakes with ube ganache ????

SaySoSweets was absolutely fantastic. Where do I begin? It's a quaint brunch place with about six tables for dine in and several easy options for to-go orders. The workers (and I believe possibly an owner, I didn't ask, but I'm guessing) were extremely kind and friendly. The food was fantastic. I am not very familiar with Hawaiian or Filipino food, and this was a great introduction for me and my wife. We found this place because of a 904 instragram account that promoted SaySoSweets as a great brunch option. After a very difficult week, I am so grateful that I was able to have a pleasant brunch with my with my wife at this awesome place. Thank you so much! We will definitely be coming back!!

I’m writing this review so you can hopefully improve this dish. I asked for palabok, and she recommended Tita’s Platter, which is pancit bihon, something completely different. (Yeah, I didn’t read the description, so that’s on me, I guess? But maybe next time, DON’T recommend something totally different!) I was so disappointed. First, I didn’t even get the palabok I originally wanted. Second, the pancit bihon was so bad I wanted to cry. $15 for the whole Tita’s Platter? Absolutely not worth it. The lumpia was super oily and the halo-halo is average. If you’re craving halo-halo, go somewhere else. We ended up going to Jollibee instead and got the palabok with Chickenjoy for just $12.99. Way better.

I had this place saved to make sure I visited when I was in town! We decided to grab breakfast here. We were fortunate enough to try their famous Lechon Belly Roll and Tapsilog. The pork belly was tender! I was pleased to know that there was FRESH calamansi juice. There's lots of sweets to take with you on the road. It wasn't too crowded during our visit, but seating is limited. If you've been wanting to try Filipino/Hawaiin foods, this is a great place to start. The menu isn't overwhelming and the owner and staffs are just simply amazing.
