San & Wolves has transitioned from popular pop-ups to a permanent location in Long Beach, bringing together Filipino flavors in a vegan format. Owners Kym Estrada and Arvin Torres use house-made ingredients like ube and coconut to recreate beloved traditional pastries, attracting a diverse customer base. The bakery consistently sells out, showcasing its demand, and highlights a growing interest in vegan adaptations of cultural favorites. With items like buko pie and ube Pop-Tarts, they're proud to introduce Filipino cuisine to new audiences while celebrating their heritage.
After years of pop-ups, partners Kym Estrada and Arvin Torres opened their long-awaited storefront along Retro Row in Long Beach this month.
Estrada began recipe testing a vegan version of pan de coco, a sweet-savory bun filled with ube and coconut, nearly a decade ago.
Seeing it where it's at right now, it almost doesn't feel real,
The sunny bakery sells out of its sweets nearly every day of the week, with a line that often trails down the block.
