When the longing for authentic Pinoy dishes strikes in the U.S., Isla Grand stands ready to transport your taste buds back to the Philippines.

Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...

Dirty Ube with Organic Coffee and Organic Coconut Milk from Teaspoon in Hayward, California


Before entering at Teaspoon, you need to make sure you're wearing a face mask they also do online delivery if you choose to order through Door Dash.




Carmina went to check out their new added item was between Violet Latte or Dirty Ube.

Carmina has tried ube before in the Philippines. Although never saw it with organic coffee and wanted to check on why it is a new item in Teaspoon in Hayward, California.

My tip is informing how much ice you want and sugar level we didn't have a chance to tell the person who had taken our order since it was our first time at Teaspoon.

I was surprised after finishing my drink how much ice was placed in my Dirty Ube.


Overall, the Dirty Ube was very good just too much ice to really enjoy it being super cold. It was great to try it with Organic Coffee with Organic Coconut Milk something refreshing to drink on a busy afternoon.

Joanie had the Silky Strawberry and felt it was too sweet needed to add water to drain it down a bit.
