When the longing for authentic Pinoy dishes strikes in the U.S., Isla Grand stands ready to transport your taste buds back to the Philippines.

Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went.

Carmina's Review on Apple Cinnamon Ensaymada from Mary Grace Cafe


Mom Violy was busy looking for her chocolate cake at Mary Grace Cafe.

Carmina saw a video before entering and notice something new apple cinnamon didn't quite see what it was.

Carmina asked the person at the counter if they have the apple cinnamon available not seeing it at the glass counter with all the baked goods.

The person had informed me they only serve it when you dine in due to the temperature and changes of the apple cinnamon ensaymada.

Mom Violy said can eat it since you're hungry being merienda time.

The person started preparing my order arriving at the table.

The apple cinnamon reminds me eating an apple pie only difference it is served on a ensaymada.

It was very yummy and warmed up.

The price of the apple cinnamon ensaymada is 195.00 pesos ($2.29) not including tax.
