I missed Goldilocks in the Philippines and this did not disappoint. The food was fresh and masarap (delicious). Sweet treats and delicacies abound. They even have frozen foods to make at home like Siopai, shomai, and lumpia. Plenty of parking and friendly staff.

I don't have any reservations about this establishment. We went here today to buy Bangus Relleno (spelling?) and to my surprise, it came out to $42 something! The actual item was decent sized, but I guess I wasn't expecting it to be so expensive. I was thinking about cashing out $16-$21 for it? But it's a really good dish. I love eating it! I basically grew up on this dish since my mom used to always make homemade ones for the holidays and birthdays. We also purchased the puto cheese and ube combo tray which came in 12 pieces I think? It was $16 something. Got some good stuff going on there. Always a treat if I need a quick Filipino dish fix! But I sometimes go to other places if I'm being picky.

Love their breads and cakes, too. Their fresh lumpia is delicious. Halo halo is great.
I've been to a handful of different Goldilocks bakeries, and they're all pretty much the same. Easy food and I like how they make the halo hollow fresh for you, as well as all their delicious baked goods. At this particular location I didn't realize there were two different lines one for ordering the food and another for pick up/pre-ordered items. I got in the wrong line but the lady in the front was really nice and understanding since she was there to pick up a cake, and I was in line to order fresh food. Lol I bought some of the dinner rolls, and they were delicious and moist!! I was afraid my house would get too warm and I put them in the fridge and luckily that didn't tarnish the flavor or anything. If I leave one out on the countertop for about five minutes, it gets to room temperature, and it's just as fresh as it was the first day I bought it. It's been three days and they still taste delicious!! Everything was clean and organized in the store, and as I was looking at all the baked packaged goods, a gentleman that worked there was actually organizing the pastries and putting out more. Make sure you check the dates, but everything was within a day or two of being made. I will definitely be back again!

They served so little yet expensive.They need to make it combo for $10 or inclined their servings atleast.This is a not worth it for $10 bucks.

I love any of the stews. Price has gone up a lot. Lots of space to eat. The halo halo, the lumpias and stews are my favorites.

Another must-stop when you're in San Francisco. We got all our sweet souvenir treats and pastries for our family on the East Coast. We ate lunch here while we were at it. Filipino turo turo food at its finest. They have friendly staff, fresh delicious food, and refreshments with fast service.

September 10, 2023 bought brazo de Mercedes and Sansival around 4pm , I’m from sacramento , upon arriving home so excited to taste the brazo mercedez and disappointing the yellow thing inside was sour it was already spoiled we traveled 1 hour and 30 minutes and the product is inside a cooler while in transport, we called to let this Goldilocks branch know what happened and they are so rude we just want them to know check their product inside their ref . Regularly I don’t expect a refund just want them to know what happened so next time no customer will feel the disappointment from excited. My mom called after explaining , they hang up my mother .So Rude. Customer service is so unprofessional .

Slow. Soooo slow. By the time I sit down? My arazcaldo is cold, my siapo cold, and lumpia looks like it’s been cooked, frozen, and then heated. I’d give one star by my wife’s thoroughly a pinai and likes the place.The only upside i see is all the employees are of retirement age. Seniors need work, too. This is the Way?.Oops! Wife didn’t like her food either. Down to 1 star now. And, look what we paid!

No frills, hit or miss Filipino cafeteria style food food and bakery. If you arrive early enough, you can usually get their fresh food but the consistency is not always there. I still like to visit this location for the baked goods but the lack of quality control lately makes this location a little bit of a risky gamble on my part.

Is it me or has the quality at Goldilocks gone waaay down!?!!! I remember in the 90's Goldilocks was revered in the Filipino community as to what Porto's is to the Cuban community today (in my opinion of course). We bought the mocha sheet cake and I remember how moist and delicious it was back in the days. So I thought I'd buy it for my partner's birthday cake but alas the flavor was well there was no flavor. My son said it tasted like eating a sponge -no flavor. The icing was ok, it wasn't too sweet but again it was not as I remembered growing up. Service was friendly, ambiance seemed like it was more like a mom and pops restaurant which can be a nice feeling but it's a chain/corporate restaurant/bakery so it should be less cluttered and have an open airy flow. Sadly this Goldilocks was not a good fit.

This Goldilocks is located in a shopping center. There's plenty of parking. I stopped by to pick up some of their baked goods. There was a line at the cash register. However, the line move pretty quick. I bought fudge brownies, ensaynada with cheese, brioche with cheese and coconut, French sponge cake with cheese, brioche with cheese and ube, mocha French sponge cake, cashew wafers with chocolate, and French sponge cake. Out of all the baked goods that I bought, my favorites were the mocha French sponge cake, cashew wafers with chocolate, and the French sponge cake. The other baked goods were on the heavy side. The fudge brownies were too sweet for me. I will have to come back to try some their cooked food.

I decided to try Goldilocks's Taho instead of the usual Halo Halo special since I haven't tasted it in a very long time. Not bad, actually good. For me, the brown syrup could be sweeter because of my sweet tooth taste.
