Aling Mary's Filipino Store & Bakery - Vancouver

If you wanna try hot pandesal, you’re in the right place.

You can immediately smell the warm and fresh pandesal even before entering the store. Their pandesal is always freshly made and cheap ($4/dozen) so it's definitely worth the try. The people there are nice too, so if you have any questions just ask.

Best filipino food in town so far, cozy place to eat.

I love this little hidden gem. Feels a bit intimidating to go in if you don't know what you're looking for, but siopao is always a safe choice :)

Their prices are a little higher compared to other store but I love their pandesal!! (When it’s fresh from the oven so you have to come from 11am til 4pm I think)

If you like Pan de Sal (or pandesal if you’re into the millennial spelling) this is the place to get them. They’re always so warm, fluffy and delicious and for a great price! They also have a great assortment of Filipino snacks, chips, and cookies, and a whole selection of other great foodstuffs that many Filipinos enjoy! I wish I had pictures, but I’m a real fatty and love to enjoy my pandesal during the car ride home.

We always go here for their freshly baked pan de sal. The store also sells Filipino grocery items.

Awful. Rude customer service and the products are overpriced. I purchased one small flan, and they charged me $10.

The original owners had sold the business a few months back. We go here every week for the hot pandesal (buns) it's a taste of home. The present owners have improved the business by offering more variety of Filipino food- pastries, canned goods, snacks, baked and cooked food, etc. At first they maintained the taste of the pandesal that Aling Mary was popular for but after 2 or 3months they started to change the flavour and texture of the pandesal. So we skipped going every week and decided to go and check it out after the 3rd week and again they changed the flavour and texture. It wasn't as soft, it was darker in color and the dough wasn't as compact so the holes were bigger and more. We're not sure what they're doing, but it's been discouraging and so we haven't been back regularly and now planning on going to the Surrey Aling Mary location, hoping they haven't changed signature pandesal.

I don’t like their line up of bread, especially their Ube pandesal. Their breads smell like oil instead of butter. When microwaved, their bread turns soft, but is too crumbly in general and hardens in two days in the fridge so you have no choice but microwave. There are other Filipino Instagram bakers with better tasting bread. Overall the shop is ok though I wish they sold a variety of flavouring from different companies for flavours such as pandan and ube
