Our favourite places to stay on this sleepy Cebu island.
Few things are more comforting than freshly baked goodies. Whether it’s a soft, gooey cookie or some delicious bread and pastries — we’re totally all for it! But with the ongoing community quarantine, it’s hard to come by these comfort foods nowadays. Fortunately, several shops and bakeries are still up and running, along with some much-need cookie and/or services.
And so, we’ve narrowed down the best cookie and options around Metro Manila. Better bookmark this list for when you’re craving some cookies and bread, but can’t leave the house (for whatever reason, even once the lockdown is over). Life is too short to miss out on fantastic baked delights!
Besides their heavenly graze boxes and other customised offerings, Apéritif also has Ooey Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies. And truth be told, the name says it all! They also offer bite-sized Ooey Gooey Cookie Nibblers for those who want an illusion of having self-control even when it comes to sweets. (Wink, wink!)
Get your dose of these mouth-watering goodies, even during community quarantine. Metro Manila residents can either order online either on their official site, or via GrabFood and Foodpanda delivery.

You can’t talk about Metro Manila bakeries without mentioning the all-time hit, Wildflour. Part-café, part-bakery, it’s as synonymous to cosy tita brunches as it is to mouth-watering baked goods. And thank the food deities, its branches in BGC, Podium, and Rockwell are open for delivery!
Their menu changes daily, so we recommend checking their Wildflour To-Go Instagram page every so often. This is also where you’ll be placing your orders anyway. Keep an eye out for must-try pastries like their pain au chocolat, Kouign-Amann, sticky buns, and of course — the OG cronuts. We haven’t been this excited for until now!

TinaPay Online brings freshly baked bread to those who live in Manila, San Juan, Mandaluyong, Pasig, and near Sta. Mesa areas. They have a minimum of 20 pieces per preorder — but after trying out their bread, you’ll realise that 20 pieces are way too generous! Opt for distinctly Pinoy options like putok, binangkal, egg pandesal, and pilipit with ube filling.

This artisan bakery offers some of the best sourdoughs in town! Aside from the countless people we know who swear by it, 28 Derby Bakery also supplies leading homegrown coffee shops like Yardstick and Habitual Coffee. (If their coffee is good, then that means their bread must be good too, right? Yes indeed.)
Aside from the sourdough, we also recommend their croissant, ciabatta, and brioche feuilletée (a brioche-croissant hybrid). You can order all these directly on their social media platforms!

Craving carbs but don’t want to stray too far from your diet? Then Hearty Bread is your best bet. Their lineup is equally unique and healthy. And unlike most artisan bakeries, they put the nutritional content at the back of the packaging! What a game-changer, we know.

Trigo literally translates to ‘wheat,’ and you can bet that it takes its wheat creations quite seriously. Don’t believe us? Try some of ‘em out, even during quarantine! We recommend starting with some brioche, Spanish bread, and any (or every?) pandesal variant.
Order directly from their website, where you’ll also find the whole menu. Heads up, though — with so many great options, you might take longer to choose than usual!

Aside from their crowd favourite cakes, Conti’s is also known for their hearty meals (some of which they offer in frozen, ready-to-reheat versions) — and their yummy bread and pies! You can order directly from select branches that are currently still open, or via GrabFood.

The Gourmet Breadhouse is reminiscent of a neighbourhood bakery from your childhood that offers carbo-loaded comfort. Whether it’s good ol’ pandesal and croissant for breakfast or scrumptious pastries for merienda, this homegrown bakery has it all!
We recommend their ensaimadas that have yummy flavours like ube, salted egg, and even bacon! Though, if you prefer something on the less sweet side, their sourdough, croissant, and focaccia herb bread are also worth stocking up at home.
For more info, click here.
Of course, who can forget Panaderya Toyo? It is, after all, from the same owners of internationally acclaimed Toyo Eatery! For starters, they offer the best pandesal you can ever try in Metro Manila. It has a mildly bitter crust and subtly sour interior, both of which surprisingly work great together amidst the tender, tasty dough. It’s clearly unlike any other pandesal you’ve had before.
As of now, the options for are the Potpot Pan de Sal, Leche Pan, and Tocino Balikbayan. You can have these picked up from their store in Karrivin Plaza via your preferred courier.
