I ordered a variety of crinkle cookies from Kristine for my wedding last year and they were a HUGE hit! They were beautiful, delicious and Kristine packaged them really well. Thank you so much!

1st time to dine it and had the tapsilog..... it was so delicious. the marinated beef was so tender and melts in your mouth with every bite and the seasoning was just perfect to the taste. bought the ube crinkles too and it was soft and chewy and delicious. would definitely come back again and will try more of their meals and pastries. my filipino breakfast/brunch dish cravings are satisfied. one happy customer and highly recommended! they have other dishes, sandwiches, lattes, drinks too so check out there menu online and come and see it for yourself. you won't be disappointed.

There’s nothing quite like Filipino comfort food… ???????????????????????? Get your silog fix here! Ensaymada! Leche flan! Siopao! Calamansi juice! Crinkles! Everything UBE! And don’t sleep on the specials—especially the BFF: Pinoy-style spaghetti, fried chicken, and Salisbury steak! Sarap!

My friends and I had visited here for Boston Asian Restaurant Week, so they had a special menu that contained dishes they normally wouldn't have, and I enjoyed every one of them. My friends decided to drive quite a bit to get here, so I knew the experience would be a pleasant one. The prime rib tapsilog was excellent, with the egg perfectly fried to release the yolk, the garlic rice containing flavorful garlic bits at the top to provide flavor, and the beef having the right amount of tenderness and flavor. I also loved the ube affogato because the combination of espresso and ube ice cream made it a heavenly experience, as I could taste multiple flavors within one "drink" if that makes sense. The salad was pretty standard, with some raw vegetables and vinaigrette. Another factor worth pointing out is that the establishment had a fire playlist, containing lots of old school hip hop and R&B music, and I found myself dancing to it and singing to it the whole time I was there! While I am not sure when I'd be able to return here again, I enjoyed everything I had when I was there and would definitely recommend it to all that are around the Boston area!

Bits & Bites Bakery + Cafe — Saugus, MA Bits and Bites by Kristine 488 Lincoln Ave, Saugus, MA 01906 Wow — what an incredible spot! Bits & Bites Bakery + Cafe truly does it all — breakfast, bakery, lunch, and everything in between — and they do it so well. This is the kind of place that makes you want to come back before you’ve even finished your meal. Drinks: Ube Matcha Latte Matcha Biscoff Latte If you’ve got a sweet tooth, these two are calling your name. Both are super sweet, indulgent, and absolutely satisfying — perfect dessert-like drinks. 9/10 Hibiscus Mansi A bold, refreshing combo of tangy hibiscus and zesty calamansi — citrusy, floral, and super bright. Calamansi with Butterfly Pea Flower Tea This drink is magic in a cup! It starts deep blue and shifts to golden sunshine, with a vibrant lemony, citrus-forward flavor. Both of these non-latte drinks lean tart and citrusy, and I loved how refreshing they were. 8/10 Bakery Items: Ube lovers — do not, I repeat, DO NOT skip the ube here. Ube Crinkle Cookies Ube Cannoli Ube Ice Cream The ube cannoli is a standout — such a creative and fun twist on a classic. Everything ube here is spot-on and worth ordering 10/10 Breakfast & Lunch: Tapsilog (10/10) If you’re only getting one thing — let it be this. The beef is marinated using the owner’s grandmother’s recipe, and you can taste the love. Paired with garlic rice and a perfectly cooked egg? Absolute perfection. Birria Tacos (9/10) Better than some dedicated Mexican spots I’ve tried. The broth is flavorful, well-seasoned, and — importantly — not greasy. Ultimate Breakfast Chorizo Sandwich (9/10) A chorizo patty, hashbrown, cheese, and a sunny-side-up egg on an English muffin — it's heavy in the best way. Super satisfying, and exactly what you want in a breakfast sandwich. Ambiance: Adorable cartoon-style decor, plenty of seating, and an overall welcoming vibe. 8/10 Affordability: Pretty standard pricing for a bakery/cafe spot. The meals were well portioned too 7/10 Final Thoughts: If you’ve been curious to try Filipino food, or just want really good food, this is your sign to go. Bits & Bites is a 10/10 spot, hands down. Don't sleep on it.

You know what? I love this place. I can say with confidence you will too. The staff is so genuine. The food is - holy cow it’s delicious. From their breakfast wraps to their seriously tasty lunches, this place is fantastic. Oh AND IT’S AFFORDABLE. I used to dread going to dunks. Now I look forward to coming to Bits and Bites with my gf and friends every weekend. Thank you, Tita Kristine!

The tapsilog is so good!!! Flavorful beef, garlicky rice, fresh veggies and a fried egg—you can’t go wrong. We got our food super fast, and everyone working there is so friendly and helpful. It’s super cute inside, with plenty of seating. Excited to come back soon!
