A & D Manila Bakery

A & D Manila Bakery has become Jacksonville's premier destination for authentic Filipino baked goods and cuisine since opening its doors on Enchanted Drive. This family-owned establishment combines three essential services: a traditional Filipino bakery specializing in pandesal, ensaymada, and Spanish bread; a specialty grocery carrying Filipino dry goods and frozen items; and a deli-style diner offering freshly prepared Filipino meals. The bakery's hot prepared foods sell out quickly, with favorites like lechon kawali (crispy pork belly), lumpia, pancit, and sisig drawing customers from as far as Gainesville who make the 90-minute drive specifically for their food. With only three tables in the compact space, A & D Manila Bakery operates primarily as a takeout destination, though customers appreciate the warm, gracious staff and the ability to purchase bulk prepared meals for gatherings. The bakery opens at 9am, and regulars know to arrive early for the best selection of both baked goods and prepared dishes before popular items disappear.
