I really appreciate the hand-written card included with each box. When I requested a message included, I assumed it would just be printed out.
I have co-workers spread throughout the country and this is a great holiday gift. This is the second year sending to them, and they are in love. One co-worker's husband asked if Ensaymada Project had a subscription program and said would seriously consider a monthly delivery..
I've ordered a few of these this past month to give to close friends in other states, and they LOVED IT. Ultimately, it made me crave it as well, so I may be placing another order soon!
I love these Ensaymadas! I have purchased them multiple times in the past but my most recent order was for a gift. Chari was kind enough to include a hand written gift note for me. Thank you for offering a yummy pastry and great customer service!
We ordered Chari's half dozen picks and we did not care for it at all. We love the cheese classic better. The bread on the flavored ensaymadas are also drier than the cheese classic ones that we ordered. Personally, it was too sweet for us too. This maybe a perfect introduction for people who are not used to eating ensaymadas or first time to try it. Kudos to creating assorted flavors though that may work well for the western palate. Keep at it! And yes, we will still recommend!
Presentation is excellent, mouthwatering. And once I tasted, I can't stop eating them because it is undeniably delicious! This is also a perfect gift for love ones.
I have ordered ensaymadas twice to be delivered to friends for special occasions, and they're a hit each time! My next order will hopefully be for myself :)
Loved the variety of flavors and all around packaging! What a great way to honor filipino tradition with a modern twist!
A bit pricey, but understandable, considering the care in the packaging - ordered on a Monday and received the next day . . . I think it's best warmed up a little - esp with the cheese slightly melted . . very soft, and light . . .truly enjoyed it so I ordered for a friend as well . . .
I first tried these back in January at Smorgasburg in LA. Since lockdown I've probably ordered 5 times haha. They're always fresh, and the new insulation pack keeps them cool during the now summer time heat. Definitely worth it.
I’ve been following Ensaymada Project for awhile now. Finally ordered some and got them sent to me in San Diego, as well as sent some to my parents in Oxnard and friend in San Diego and we all loved the Ensaymada. My favorite is the queso de bola . The bread was soft, it was fresh, and packaged nicely. The one for my friend I requested a small note and they were able to add it in, small things like that let me know they go the extra mile and provide value to their customers. I will continue to order and recommend Ensamada Project!
Irresistibly delicious - thank goodness for the 1/2 dozen package! We had been gifted a dozen a couple of months ago and wanted to enjoy them again - so this size was perfect for us!
We love her ensaymadas !!!! My favorite is the classic cheese. We live on the east coast and they are always fresh as if we went there ourselves to buy them. Delicious!!!!
Never really knew there was a designer Ensaymada. You should bring it here in Orange County !!!!
Ordered the Chari’s Picks Half Dozen and let them choose the flavors (great selection!). Delivered all the way to New Jersey! Came in a almost frozen state inside a keep fresh packaging. I immediately put it in the freezer to preserve its freshness. When I want one, I just take one out, unwrap, and microwave it for 20 seconds. I am in heaven!! My favorite is the Cinnamonada!
I am disappointed with the delivery and freshness of my order. I had paid 20.00 for a small size ensaymada that was soft only on the top but rest of bread hard. I ordered on a Friday morning, paid $7.64 for shipping that arrived late evening on Tuesday. Total $30.14 for 6 small ensaymada that wasnt fresh and arrived late. So disappointed for what I spent and paid for, the topping was all melted, but flavor was good!
They arrived beautiful and were so much more delicious then your every day ensaymada. I bought them as gifts and Chari was even nice enough to add a note for the recipient. I will definitely be a repeat customer.
I had been craving cupcakes when my sister recommended to get these. I ordered a dozen and tried them and they were absolutely delicious! It reminds me of Sprinkles cupcakes but for me, I liked this more than Sprinkles. I few days after, I gave a half dozen of these as a present to my colleague and she loved it so much. Definitely ordering these again!
These Ensaymadas are amazingly delicious! Soft and fluffy!! I’ve ordered the “Trilogy” for my friend and got myself “Chari’s half dozen picks”. I am impressed of how they are still fresh and intact! I live in Italy and it only took almost 2 weeks for me. Definitely worth it! Will be ordering some more for families and friends!!! Ciao!
My family and I love these ensaymadas. Every flavor tastes delicious, but my favorite is the classic cheese and ube. These cute half dozen boxes are perfect for gifting. They are consistently delicious and so easy to send.
Sooo delicious!!! The half dozen makes for a perfect gift for family & friends. I’ve sent out at least six gifts and each recipient loved them. Sooo happy Ensaymada Project makes them available to ship and gift. I am sooo happy to support Filipino owned businesses. Thank you sooo much for the top notch service. Will send more as gifts.
This place is one of my favorites! I love supporting them. It comes fresh and they update their IG page for when they are delivering. Soooo good and makes perfect gifts!
Let me start off by saying I LOVE ensaymada and Chari's may be my new all time favorite! I ordered a variety pack and they arrived fresh and intact after being shipped across the country. The brioche was soft and fluffy and the buttercream was delicious! My only complaint is that I didn't order more! I will definitely be ordering again for myself and my friends and family.
I ordered a 6-pack in a variety of flavors, and was not disappointed. The package came quickly after my order, and they arrived at my Honolulu home nicely packaged and still soft! Tasted as fresh and delicious as if I picked it up in LA.
Great service! Taste so great! I recommend to my friends and family!
Had these beautiful amazing ensaymadas at the smorsaborg for the first time and have been addicted ever since! I’ve literally sent these as gifts to all my friends and family And Nursing colleagues and finally sent some to myself because I missed them so much. These are the most delicious thing my mouth has ever experienced!! THANK YOU for giving us such a beautiful gift Chari!!
These were so good and so fresh! I’m sad I only ordered 6! I will absolutely be reordering.
Sent several packages to friends and family during this safer-at-home time. Chari accommodated my request and put short personal notes on each box to relay my message. I'm truly grateful. It made the care package even more personal and touching. Each recipient was very happy and excited!
These Ensaymadas are so delicious and addicting, you can’t eat just one. I order for myself and send as gifts! Everyone loves them! My favorites are the ube, classic and queso de bola!
I first discovered Ensaymada Project at the 626 Night Market. I figured these would make a great gift for my friends so we could reminisce about our time at the market event. Ordered three sets for my friends, and they shipped quickly and arrived in great condition. Delicious, good mix of flavors. A perfect gift for friends, loved ones, or even yourself!
I came across the Ensaymada Project at Smorgasbord LA and have been craving it ever since then. Being under social distancing, they have made it possible to send it so you can enjoy it at home. I received mine without any issues and have since ordered them as presents to all my loved ones in the US. The bread always stays soft and pairs SO well with the toppings. I absolutely love this place!
I ordered a variety pack and got the classic, red velvet, and mocha Nutella. All three were delicious! I love this twist on the classic ensaymada. They also lasted several days after I received them, which I was very impressed with.
Ordered about 9 of these boxes to be mailed to co-workers around the country. Was able to send to multiple addresses and add a universal greeting. It was an absolute hit. Here's one response, "Thank you soooo much for the ensaymada! I've never tried it before and I can't wait. The kids think I'm going to share, but little do they know." And then 12 minutes later from the same friend, "Ummm, so I think I'm in love". I just need Mrs. Chari to open a store here in Atlanta.
my parents liked it so much and my sister. From New Jersey.
Usually ensaymadas are always excellent. However, the toppings got stuck to the packaging and I had to scrape some off the wrapping and spread onto the ensaymadas. My first time to try the matcha but was unable to completely enjoy.
I ordered five boxes to give away to friends (and kept one for me of course). All of them raved about Chari's picks. The ensaymadas had the perfect texture and enough amount of cheese and other flavors. Nothing was overwhelming. I will definitely order again soon!
The rolls were light, fluffy and melted in your mouth. I ordered half a dozen of Chari's pick and ouy allowed me to leave a note asking for one's that I may like to try and I got both of them!! I would order them again. Great experience. My family enjoyed them also.
The best ensaymada.....i can't stop eating it...the quezo de bola and cheese is the best...i'll try the other flavors on my next order...highly recommended!!!
Gave these to my family, my girl’s family and my side chick and they all love them. Theyre fire
For Christmas 2018, I had ordered a couple of half dozen and dozen holiday picks for family and friends as Christmas gifts. Ordering was easy, Ms. Chari answered right away when I had a question and the gifts were delivered in time. Each and everyone who received their box said that the packaging was “too pretty to eat”. As soon as they were able to get past the pretty packaging, the Ensaymadas were eaten right away. Everyone enjoyed it, not one person said it was too sweet or it lacked flavor. My only regret was I didn’t order one for me!
The best in the west.. I would never trade enzaymada project to any other enzaymadas.
So good
So delicous, the variety of ensaymada was so good.
I always ask Chari to put together a box of chocolate/ caramel flavored ones for my non-Filipino friends. They always look forward to receiving them!
we ordered 1 dozen of chari's pick, every flavor is tasty and the bread is buttery soft. we loved the quezo de bola and ube flavor, my sister in law tried it and she wanted to order soon.

I first tried these at the LA food fest. The next day I put in my order!! The ube is my favorite and I will definitely be ordering again!!
I've had these ensamadas before from my sister in law but when I saw them at the OC Night Market, I had to get a couple more. Little did I know it was going to create a late=night preggo-saur craving resulting in me ordering 1/2 doz ensamadas, obsessively tracking when it was supposed to arrive, and then devouring all 1/2 doz in a matter of a couple days.
Needless to say, with another month left of this pregnancy, I may be placing another order for a full dozen this time.
My favorites in order are: Ube, Oreo, and Red Velvet.
Was able to purchase four boxes of the mixed chari boxes as Mother's Day gifts and they all LOVED IT! What's amazing is that I was able to purchase them abroad since I wasn't in the US at the time, so for a company to accept international transactions was definitely a huge plus! They all came in a cooler packaging to keep the product fresh.
The added star is for Chari being able to satisfy my request on the choices for each box. I knew it was a long shot to be able to get the flavors I wanted, but she was able to send each of my orders with the exact requests. So she definitely takes the time to satisfy each and every one of her customers!
And of course the rest of the stars - totally 5 of course! All goes toward the taste! Everyone I got it for LOVE IT! (The ref cheese, bola bola, uber, dulce de leche, etc are all amazing) Its nice to see twists on Filipino food staples, and this twist had definitely made the right turns! Keep up the yummy work! Will definitely be ordering from you again, Chari! :)
We absolutely love these! love the presentation and they delivered it right on time. More importantly, very delicious. Love the contemporary twist to the ensaymada.
Will definitely consider this for future.
Don't hesitate to order these. They are simply the best, and most contemporary rendition of the traditional pastry, without losing the integrity of the original recipe. I sent the Holiday selection to my family in Florida and they absolutely loved it! Thanks, Chari for crafting these tasty treats.
Fell in love with the Nutella Mocha Ensaymadas so had to share and ship them out to some of my friends and family. Great gift idea . I might just be a regular.
I sent this as a birthday gift to my friend. The first one she ate was "heavenly with butter oozing on the flaky bread!" Her favorites were the classic and the ube. She also loved the strawberries/choco and the butter/choco. The last one "disappeared" & she was quite upset 'coz she wasn't planning to share!!! She didn't know what flavor it was, but was sure that it would have been "delish" as well!
Thanks again, Chari! You & your ensaymadas made someone's birthday very, very special!
Mahalo and Aloha,
~Lillian~
The other flavors felt like eating bread with butter and sugar. My son loved the Nutella one.
I ordered these for my sister for her birthday and had it shipped to Florida. It was delivered in a nice box with ribbon and a handwritten note with my message.
Thank you Chari!
My sister enjoyed every bite!
Really a very modern reinvention of a beloved classic merienda favorite. Tastefully done in flavor and in packaging.
Appreciate you putting a NOTE (per my request) on the box...much appreciated...
