We have a container of butter and these are easy targets for quick snacks (merienda). We've tried the corned beef pan de sal and it was delicious.....just the right amount of meat /bread ratio. They have other pastries too and they are good but nothing beats the actual pan de sal!! I haven't tried the hot choco yet bc of the lactose intolerance but it maybe worth a few sips.

Everyone else in my group really enjoyed their meals as well, so it's a very consistent spot for a crowd. The service is incredibly friendly and respectful, which we really appreciated. As for the atmosphere, it's very nice, especially if you can snag a table outside to enjoy the Greenbelt greenery. The only downside is the surrounding area after dark. Once night falls, the immediate vicinity becomes increasingly difficult to walk around without being constantly propositioned, which definitely changes the vibe of the evening

We had bad jet lag coming from Seattle so we decided to walk there from our condo and got there at 6:30am in time to watch the guy making the cubed hopia mongo and was able to wait for a fresh batch! Hopia cubed mongo was about $130 if I remembered correctly. Their ube circle shaped ones were also very delicious. Their hopia is definitely on the sweeter side. I would prefer a little less sweeter than that, but then again I'm not much of a fan of desserts. (Don't kill me! I still appreciate them!! Lol!) One things for sure, my 3 year old toddler loves it, and it was still good the day after!

If you somehow find yourself in the back areas of Farmer's Plaza and Farmer's Market (because you got off the MRT and decided to take the long way down, I don't know), you'll see a bunch of people crowding around one of the stalls in Farmer's Market. If you've ever wondered what that is, that would be people lining up for hopia at Bakers' Fair. Walking by the area you'll smell butter and dough and sweetness as it dares you to come closer. You'll see the bakers there prepare the little cubes of delight on the broad metal sheets as they put them warm into the clear plastic containers, which do little to contain the scent of deliciousness within. The place sells a lot of goods like cakes and pies and pastries, but let's not kid ourselves, shall we? We are here for the hopia.

The first thing you notice is, for a medium sized coffee and pastry restaurant, it had a super abundant number of servers and waiters. And they were all busy taking care or the customers.

It's hard to pick just one or two items we enjoyed. There were four of us and we had a great time at reasonable prices. Give it a try if you're in GB3.

Of course, you cannot leave this establishment without trying the Vanilla Pudding. It's a small rectangular bread pudding bar drizzled with thick, delicious vanilla cream. Ugh, divine!

We just usually have some coffee here, then a late dinner somewhere. As I'm not really a coffee drinker, I usually just get the sweet and classic-tasting iced chocolate. Sometimes, I get the hot chocolate instead. Of course they have lattes and frosts (this is what they call the frappes), and for those who want to eat something savory, they have sandwiches, pastas, pizzas, and yes, even rice meals.

Wildflour in Taguig is that place--the kind where every bite makes you pause and go, "wow... okay."…read more Let's start with the vanilla latte because it deserves top billing. Velvety, fragrant, and perfectly balanced--rich espresso softened by creamy milk and just the right whisper of vanilla. Not sugary, not flat... just smooth, cozy perfection in a cup. The kind of latte you sip slowly because you don't want it to end. The Belgian waffle was straight-up indulgence. Golden and crisp on the outside, light and fluffy inside, topped generously with caramelized bananas, ripe mango, and strawberries. Sweet, buttery, fruity, and beautifully plated--this wasn't just a waffle, it was a moment. And then the Filipino breakfast--comfort food done elegantly. Savory longganisa over warm rice, creamy eggs, and perfectly balanced flavors that feel both nostalgic and elevated. Hearty, satisfying, and deeply comforting in that "this is exactly what I wanted" kind of way. Add in the warm, stylish atmosphere and consistently excellent execution, and Wildflour absolutely delivers. Whether you're here for brunch, coffee, or a proper sit-down meal, this place understands flavor, balance, and indulgence. A must-visit in BGC.

One thing people do not fully appreciate about traveling halfway across the world is just how…read moredisorienting the time difference can be at first. When my husband and I stay in BGC -- Bonifacio Global City in Taguig within Metro Manila -- our internal clocks are usually completely confused for the first several days. BGC itself is one of the most modern and walkable districts in the Philippines, filled with high-rises, parks, restaurants, shopping areas, and surprisingly peaceful streets during the early morning hours. So naturally, we often find ourselves wandering around the city at dawn while the rest of the world still seems asleep. And when it is 6:00 AM in Manila, it is roughly 5:00 PM back in Sioux Falls depending on daylight savings, which means our bodies are basically convinced it is dinner time while we are attempting to eat breakfast. Traveling is glamorous. Jet lag is not. During one of these early morning walks, we stumbled into Wildflour Cafe, which immediately gave us the feeling of an upscale neighborhood bakery mixed with a polished diner-style brunch spot. It was already surprisingly busy even at that hour, clearly a favorite among locals and early risers. Honestly, the easiest comparison I can make is: Imagine a much more refined and stylish version of Denny's, except with better food, fresher pastries, and significantly more polished presentation. Now to be fair, this is not necessarily the kind of breakfast that completely changes your life forever. But it absolutely is several levels above ordinary diner food. My husband and I both ordered steak and eggs along with a large serving of bread and butter to share because apparently we believe carbohydrates are an important emotional support system while jet lagged. I ordered my eggs scrambled while my husband went with over easy. The breakfast potatoes were fresh, flavorful, and wonderfully prepared. The steak itself was a bit overdone for my personal taste. My husband actually enjoys steak prepared more thoroughly for breakfast dishes, but I have always preferred at least a little pink or redness remaining no matter how small the cut may be. The real star for me, however, was the bread. Warm, fragrant, slightly crumbly, and absolutely wonderful once the butter slowly melted into every crevice. There is something deeply comforting about fresh bread early in the morning while sitting in a quiet cafe halfway around the world watching a city wake up around you. Now the one surprise during this visit was the service. Because Filipino hospitality is usually exceptional. Truly exceptional. In fact, some of the best service experiences my husband and I have ever had anywhere in the world have been in the Philippines. This particular morning, however, things felt a little slower and less attentive than what we are normally accustomed to there. Nothing terrible at all -- the cafe was extremely busy -- but it did stand out compared to the typically warm and highly attentive Filipino dining experience we have come to expect. Overall though, it was still a very enjoyable breakfast and a wonderful way to begin the day. Or technically... begin the day in Manila while our bodies were fully convinced it was bedtime back in Sioux Falls. At some point during breakfast I remember thinking: "We should probably go to sleep soon." At 7:00 AM. Jet lag is a very strange thing.
