I love Filipino deserts, but I was extremely dissatisfied and disappointed with Gwenie’s. When I paid $10 for a Halo-Halo and it was not drinkable I was unhappy. I have never in my life got Ube ice cream and they put corn flakes cereal on the top. The Ube donut was mediocre. They need to fix the prices of their menu if they want customers to return. UNHAPPY!
Great customer service and delicious pastries!
The most delicious food and the kindest most good hearted humans 10/10
Their ube pandesal is unreal - I wish I had gotten a whole dozen! The donuts are always a favorite as well.
Hard to find but so worth it! the staff was so nice! they answered all my questions with ease as it was clearly my first time having Filipino pastries. Delicious! worth the drive from Frederick! will be back for sure!
So many Filipino desserts!! I came here from Arlington, VA by metro specifically for the ube halo halo. Worth it! It's a sizeable dessert & costs about $10. I couldn't finish it all. It's made with shaved ice , which is unique. The shaved ice was so smooth, almost the consistency of firm, but creamy ice cream. The toppings were traditional. Highly recommend. The cashier was very nice. Everything is to go, & there isn't a dine in area. But the cashier let me sit on the small bench inside to eat my halo halo. I also bought an oval Leche flan, which I'll contribute to a small gathering in a few days. Cost $8. Probably could feed a small party of 6 people. The cashier said it will keep in the fridge for 1 week, which is perfect.
Really welcoming energy - The cakes are so fluffy, buttery, and not overly sweet! They have a really good selection of different options of goodies. The Pastillas De Leche are one of my favorites. Very accessible and there's plenty of parking.
