They even sell just in the entrance of Good Shepherd, they’re making a business out of someones business. It is annoying but we can’t do anything about it. We just don’t buy from these resellers.

    If you want to indulged in the best ube and strawberry jams, peanut brittles and other food pasalubongs for your family and friends, then this is the best place in Baguio for that. Though their price is a little bit pricier than those of our establishments, they made it up by their unparalled quality. The place in itself is already a good spot for picture taking.

    This is where you can get quality ube jam. The only downside is the long lines. If you're in a rush to buy ube jam, you can go to one of the nearby stalls, albeit the price will be a bit higher.

    May 2023: We were here at 8am but the guard said they will open at 9:30am. So, I just bought Ube Jam from the reseller outside at P400/bottle.

    A popular destination in bagiuo for the strawberry jam and preserves. Strawberry jams and jellies are the most popular item but they also sell blueberry jam, pickles, peanut brittle among others. In the compound people come in bus loads. They have a grotto with a wonderful view of Mine's View Park and the valley. And also don't forget to stop by the Magnolia ice cream parlor near the front.

    There's a long line for buyers when we went here on Monday, took us roughly 30mins to an hour. They have chairs set to line but there are portions exposed to the sun, hopefully they can organize it better. They only use paper bags since they don't support the use of plastics, they offer P45 ecobag or cartons for big orders only, so better if you bring your own ecobag. Ube jam bottles are not wrapped on papers, its less secured. Product taste and quality-wise, exceptional as ever.

    What’s the hype about it? Ube jam made by the convent sisters ( and strawberry jam but sold out at this time) Decided to check out the convent but (apparently) the only thing to do here is buy from their store (which you can also buy outside for additional 100 pesos). Tip: buy from the resellers if you see a long queue as they’re legit Ube and the convent sisters approved their reselling, you get to help the sisters and the small merchants at the same time.

    Parking: You will struggle on parking starting by noon time, where people starts to go here Restroom/ Washing Area: Yes they have Ambiance: Currently on renovation, thus I can say much Cleanliness: n/a Price : I can say worth the price 😅👌 Menu Range: Stocks are limited, so I recommend to ge here early in the morning. When we went here around noon, items were almost sold out Taste: good Staff: good Remarks: Lets wait for the renovation to completed and lets see if theres improvements. Many peps still choose to go in long line for thier authentic products such as ube jams. But I gotta warn you that you can only bought 3 jar (per person) due to limited stocks.

    Long line, then limited piece per order for snowballs. Imagine a tourist from manila mostly booked in a hotel. Going from the hotel paying almost 200 pesos for the taxi fare finding out that they can buy only 1 pieces of sbowballs? What? You think we dont have families and friends to give pasalubong? Someday It will be your loss.

    Me and family have been going to good shepherd when i was young. Now that i have a family of my own… we also go here for all of their products especially ube jam. But during weekends and holidays, there so many people… surprisingly when we went on a Monday and no holiday… the ube jam was unavailable. Oh note, compared to when i was younger, they now have a great view of the mine…

  • 5/5 Dexter T. 2 months ago on Google • 103 reviews New
    Get your Ube jam here as this is the official outlet. Freshest stock at the lowest price compared to resellers. Although expect long lines during peak hours and it is recommended to go morning time. Parking is being actively managed/monitored by helpful guards and its mostly park-shop-and-go in around 15mins or so.

    Went here today at 230pm less car more parking. Not a long line. Good decision to go here before closing time.

  • 3/5 ROLAN G. 2 months ago on Google • 59 reviews New
    Good Shepherd needs to take a look on their forecasting of stocks particularly the use jam especially on peak seasons like summer season, weekends and festivities.

  • 5/5 Tracy A. 2 months ago on Google • 22 reviews New
    i really love their products they are so tasty and delicious. While for the place, is it so clean and i love their plants also.

    they open 8:15am until 4pm but it's better to be there earlier, because the gate hasn't opened yet but the queue is long. Also, not all products are available, every day there are different products available gaya ng cookies pero ung ube laging available!

  • 1/5 Asian F. 2 months ago on Google • 6 reviews New
    The lines are too long for buying the classic products (ube jam, strawberry jam etc) . Then you find only 2 counters are open. The other one for Persons with disabilities. At the PWD counter you find only 2 items per person can be purchased. 2 for the PWD and for one companion. What is being created is an artificial popularity. Not very community minded.

  • 4/5 Noche P. 1 year ago on Google
    Long Line for pasalubong section. Have to be there early. But still worth the wait.👍👍👍👍👍

  • 5/5 Jophanie T. 4 years ago on Google
    Always a good time for a visit though queue can be a little painful. Each person can only get 2 bottles of ube jam. Counter 1 credit and debit cards - can be cash Counter 2 cash - but can accept cards Counter 3, 4 & 5 - close when we visit but check out my photo Counter 6 - Priority lane for Senior Citizen, elderly, pregnant and PWDs. For prices please check my photos

    No one leaves Baguio without Good Shepherd Convent goodies. Bestsellers - Ube Jam (usually out of stock, so come here early), Strawberry Jelly and Lengua de Gato. Just recently, we tried their new cookies - Hermits (chewy, with raisins and cashew nuts) and Alfajor (with caramel filling)...and we loved it.

    Years and years after, Good Sheperd Ube is one the best if not the best tasting ube in the Philippines. If its your first time in Baguio this is a must try. Thankfully these days they now have parking lot adequate enough for most. But if you are going to Mines View then I suggest to park there and walk for a hundred meters to Good Sheperd so that you don’t need to drive on the other side of the entrance because its one way traffic. There is an abundance of “Pasalubong” here but they are really known for the ube. Don’t go late in the afternoon because its most likely out of stock. There is a nice view deck and station of the cross with a nice looking garden too. FYI senior citizen discount is not honored here. See one of my photo to see the banner announcement.

    We were here in a weekday so there is not much crowd inside, a shorter line to buy their delicacies. I bought ube jam that costs P360 per bottle. BTW, they have a 2 bottles per person policy here :) a good strategy for other no to hoard too much ube jam. Thei wash room is clean with no smell.

    I don't know about you but but visit to Baguio is not complete without buying Good Shepherd's Ube (Yam). Always look forward to visiting this place especially during weekends when there aren't much lines when purchasing food souvenirs.

    Like the place, with parking, clean restrooms, and the staff are hospitable. Cheers

  • 5/5 Phoebe W. 4 years ago on Google
    A beautiful convent famous for ube jam, strawberry jams & jellies, crinkles, lengua, and other delicacies. A bit expensive compared to market products but the quality is one of the best. Buying their products can also be a means of helping Cordillera Youth thru college. Nice view at the viewdeck, clean restrooms accepting donations for maintenance, and ample parking space. A must visit in Baguio, but could be very crowded on long weekends & peak season.

    It is a convent and store located in the heart of the city that specializes in selling unique and locally made products, including sweets, preserves, and souvenirs. Good Shepherd is well-known for their famous "Ube Jam," a purple yam jam that is a staple in many Filipino desserts. The store also features a café where visitors can try a variety of local and international treats.

  • 3/5 Raketerang Kim M. 4 years ago on Google
    Good products but it's too haggard to fall in line. Their service is slow.

  • 5/5 Ice A. 11 months ago on Google
    Still the best ube jam 😍 Just be early as the line can be long esp during weekends

  • 5/5 Alysha Jhean B. 11 months ago on Google
    crowded during weekends! went here on a weekday and was surprised we came in with no line!

  • 5/5 Rafael Moncayo (. 2 years ago on Google
    The product is good. Though my bad experience is the lengthy lines and took me 3 hours before I was able to purchase the ube jam and os limited to 4 bottles only. I suggest you to buy during weekdays and avoid saturdays and sundays.

  • 5/5 S B. 1 year ago on Google
    Plan to come when they open. At 9:20am, line has reached the entrance gate. Weekdays or Weekends, there is always a line. Per person purchases, No exceptions: 2 Ube spread 1 Strawberry Jam 1 Peanut Brittle Priority lane available for Seniors, PWD (with ID) and visibly pregnant women.

  • 2/5 Alyanna A. 1 year ago on Google
    Expect to spend at least 1.5 hours to queue. Ang dami pa mahilig sumingit na senior and preggy. Limit of 2 bottles of ube and 1 peanut brittle. Snowballs and Lengua were sold out

  • 5/5 Agnes G (. 1 year ago on Google
    Mountain maid products by Good Shepherd. Ube 350 u can buy 2 pcs each per person.

  • 3/5 Shobe M. 1 year ago on Google
    We arrived past 11am the ube and strawberry jam was completely sold out. Was advised to come as early as 8am. Numbers are distributed. One person gets to buy 2 bottles for each type of product. Parking wasn’t so bad

  • 4/5 Neu G. 1 year ago on Google
    Manage your expectations. In order for the manufacturers to maintain the quality of their products, they have only limited stocks for sale everyday. Hence, buyers should flock the store early in the morning to avoid shortage. When we went there, the strawberry jam was unavailable. Max of 2 bottles of ube jam are allowed per person. Others may be purchased more than 2 perhaps. They also offer other products.

  • 4/5 jerald j. 1 year ago on Google
    1 ube jam and 1 snowball lang per person
