Eastlake & Mira Mesa! We’ve got a doubleheader of events going down this Saturday and we hope y’all can come thru! First, we’ll be popped up at the Chula Vista Elite Athletic training center for the Karangalan scholarship pickleball fundraiser, and then we’re headed up north to Mira Mesa at the Epicentre for MMHS’ Class of 2016 reunion! We’ll be popped up under our Papa’s Pacific Island BBQ & Grill tent and outside at both locations, so feel free to come by and grab a bowl of our delicious Hawaiian bbq, polvoron (with new and limited anniversary flavors 😉) as well as our ube brownies. We hope y’all come out and support a wonderful cause this weekend!

🚨 New Flavors! 🚨 We’re celebrating 7 years of Papa’s Polvoron and what better way to celebrate than releasing two new flavors 🎉 Our Strawberry Pinipig is a throwback to our previously released Strawberry polvoron. This time it adds some crunch with toasted rice (Pinipig) and a hint of strawberry. Our Champorado polvoron is an ode to a classic Filipino snack that includes cocoa and sweet chocolate rice. It’s been 7 years of Papa’s Polvoron, and even though we have pivoted from doing large scale events and focused on growing our sister business Papa’s Pacific Island BBQ & Grill we have still made room to keep our polvoron on the menu weekly at each of our pop ups. We’ll always remember how we started this journey, and we’re proud to still continue serving our delicious polvoron to you! Check our weekly schedule this week for a location near you and where you can try our new flavors!
Thank you always for your love & support.

What people say
Papa's Polvoron in San Diego is a dessert shop and restaurant that specializes in serving delicious Filipino shortbread. What sets them apart from other dessert places is that they make their polvoron freshly homemade and individually prepared, ensuring that each bite is packed with flavor. They offer assorted flavors of polvoron, which can be ordered by half or full dozen. Additionally, Papa's Polvoron also offers catering services for events.
One thing that makes Papa's Polvoron stand out is their commitment to celebrating Filipino culture. They recently participated in the 22nd annual Filipino American Cultural Festival in Oceanside and the MassKara Festival in Long Beach, where they served up their signature polvoron to festival-goers.
If you're a fan of churros, then you'll definitely want to try Papa's Polvoron's newest flavor - Churro polvoron mini cheesecakes. These treats are made with churro flavored polvoron sprinkled on top, infused in the middle, and pressed on the bottom for a uniquely delicious cinnamon and flavorful texture.
Overall, Papa's Polvoron is a must-visit for anyone looking for a sweet treat with a Filipino twist. Their freshly homemade polvoron and commitment to celebrating Filipino culture make them a standout dessert destination in San Diego.
