Mercel's Bake Shop

"I'm sharing this review for awareness. We always bought sweets here, called Suman. As always, we asked the lady at the counter if it's fresh just to make sure, and she replied, " Yes, very fresh." My daughter ates it and noticed the bad taste when she checked molds are all over. It is very hard to see because the sweets are wrapped in a banana left and then sealed in a plastic. The next day, my husband returned the sweets, and the lady just took it from his hand, bought a fresh one, put it in the counter, then turned around and went to the kitchen without saying any words. So, if you shop from this store, please check thoroughly, especially food items. Because, even the groceries, some of them are long expired already."

"My wife and I decided stop by here from our Clearwater beach honeymoon vacation. My wife really loves Filipino food because she is a Filipina herself. We got pancit and Halo halo for our to go order. The pancit was pretty good but not the best and that is why is shop is getting 4 star review. On the other hand the halo halo was very good. I would highly recommend it! I would stop by again in the future when I visit near the area for the halo halo :)"

"Awsome restraunt!! Get the sisig and the adobo and the lechon kewali and the sinagong and the....you get the picture. Also has quite a large selection of Filipino grocery items."

"Found this little place to grab food to go. Saw the other reviews and thought, why not?!? The meals don't come with rice or noodles so make sure to order them separately. I got the garlic rice and adobo chicken with the pork egg rolls as an appetizer. The egg rolls are tasty, to go not as crunchy but delicious. I personally didn't need the sauce. The rice by itself is flavorful - savory garlicky yumminess. The chicken adobo is in a sauce that you know was cooked in love. Really enjoyed this meal and look forward to trying more! (My friend tried the mongolian beef and that was a little too sweet for my personal taste but delicious)"

"This is a grocery, store bakery, and small restaurant. The food is very good and authentic Filipino food. It is a nice quiet spot to catch a meal and grab some food to make meals in the future. It is clean and the service was great."
