The Boston area needs more good Filipino food options like Bits & Bites! My partner and I came for breakfast on a Saturday and enjoyed the Filipino-style Dim Sum Combo. I also got the ube matcha, which was yummy. All the food was delicious and the employees were super friendly. Would definitely come back to try more of the menu!
The food prices were fair and staff were all extremely nice. The cafe atmosphere is cozy and cute. There's also a bakery on the front side with a wide selection of baked goods, juices, lattes, etc. They have a lot of seating but was still packed when I went! I got the chorisilog and 3 different flavored cakes (mango, pandan, ube). We're all delicious 🙂

So happy we found this amazing cafe! The service was wonderful and the food was even better! The Tapsilog has incredible flavor and is absolutely delicious, and the Purple Frappe is so tasty! If I didn't live two hours away this would probably be a weekly treat stop.
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.
