Filipino cuisine appears to be an enduring trend of recent times, as a second major chain from the Philippines is about to land in Wheaton. First there was the wonderful Jollibee that opened at Westfield's Wheaton Plaza mall. Now Red Ribbon Bakery has leased a space at the Georgia Crossing shopping center at 2501-2503 University Boulevard West, where University meets Georgia Avenue.
Founded in the Philippines in 1979, Red Ribbon Bakery eventually expanded to the United States. Today, it has bakeries in California, Nevada, Washington, Hawaii, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Texas, and Illinois. Maryland is next with the Wheaton location.
Specialties of Red Ribbon include their signature Mango Supreme Cake, topped with "the Philippines' best mangoes, considered to be the sweetest in the world. Other favorite desserts are the purple Ube Overload Cake, and the crunchy Yema Caramel Cake. They also have savory items like chicken empanadas. Another great addition to Wheaton!
