They also teach you a thing or two about quality over quantity. I can't say enough nice things about these cheesecakes, which come in "original" and chocolate flavors. They're airy, yet dense, and when you eat them cold together with a cup of warm coffee or tea...mmm! What I've noticed is people come here after lunch or dinner and order a tray of different items for dessert. Because Kumori is a good-sized bakery, you can get danishes, brioches, and breads, as well as the cheesecake. The cafe doesn't get overwhelmingly full as I thought it might, so perhaps this is a sleeper hit in the making. We have to let the market get to know them better. They are brightly lit, and the music in the background is relaxing. They serve cappuccino and drip coffees on nice professional machines, but I think some will agree their coffee is on the watery side. Less caffeine for me; coffee aficionados might be slightly let down.

Keep in mind that this is more of a grab-and-go spot, as there's no dine-in area. Parking can be a bit challenging, especially during busy times, but the pastries are well worth the stop.

I grew up a few kms from this Becky's, and went to high school nearby. We sometimes would beg and plead with our bus driver (who shuttled kids to and from school like a regular dude) to stop by here before our trip home so we can buy some snacks. I'd like to think he did at one point but I don't think he ever did. haha. We did come by with my folks and ended up with some of their goodies. My mom likes anything with nuts (walnuts, pecans) , and naturally, I hated them. But anything Becky's Kitchen makes is rather sumptuous and I, uhh, pretty much devoured them all. I haven't been back to this location since coming back to the country, but I went to the Pasig one. I also have a birthday coming up, and I'm seriously thinking of a food trip pilgrimage which includes going to this bakery. See you soon Beckys!

This branch is in a really convenient location and is maintained well. The people who work here are also super nice! I bought my birthday cake (the Purple Carousel chocolate cake) here, and they gave me an extra bag of sweets! My favorites are their: *Lemon bars - really great lemon flavor and have a tart, refreshing sweetness *Chocolate revel bars - probably the best I've had *Chocolate Campfire cake - very rich, but in this amazing way where you don't get tired of eating it! I've also had their: *Purple Carousel chocolate cake - classic chocolate cake with these chocolate wafers on top *Mini Pecan Pie - not the consistency I prefer in a pecan pie but the flavor was still very good *Mini Chocnut Pie - light, could use a stronger chocnut flavor, I really liked the crust though *Cookies - I love cookies so I usually get 1 or 2 with whatever else I'm buying that day, theirs are crispy on the edges and chewy on the inside *Quiche Tinapa - Liked this a lot and just ate mine chilled, but I think it would be better to warm it a little at home

Sinfully Circles is located within the Circles Buffet just after the entrance. They have a wide selection of baked goods ranging from breads to delicately made pastries starting from only 75 pesos. Loaf goodies start around 250 pesos. I came for a light pastry snack prior to my event across the street from the hotel. I picked a Peach Danish (75 PHP) which is hard to find here in Manila and an Almond Croissant (75 PHP) a nice well made pastry. I asked the friendly staff at shop if they have seating or charge extra for dine-in, which isn't a problem since I needed to eat my pickings anyway. I paid for them at the counter at pastry shop and I was pleasantly surprised by their hospitality without hesitation escorted me to a fully setup table with my pastries on a plate and a glass of Cold water on the side.

Truth be told, the price of their bread is ridiculous. A loaf of bread can cost over P400. However,…read moreI am giving this a four star because the bread is soo good, it can justify the occasional splurge. Also, if you buy from 6pm onwards, they're fifty percent off! I got the sourdough and the dark rye bread, which I was planning on including in a dinner meal I was preparing for my brother, cousin, and friend. Freshly warmed in the oven and dipped in balsamic and olive oil, it was a perfect starter together with fresh salad greens and roasted garlic chicken. Their macarons are also delicious. In fact, the lady gave us some to try for free! They had to be still chewy or else they throw out unsold batches after a couple of days.

Classic Confections sells sugar cookies that are too lovely to eat! They have ones that are shaped like elephants, popcorn, ballerina shoes, etc and they come in pretty pastel colors! I actually wanted to purchase them all but I didn't have any cash with me, and we ordered a bunch of drinks and cookies already anyway. We got their white and dark iced mocha. My boyfriend got the latter, and I actually liked his more. Mine could use some sugar. We also got a plate of Russian tea cookies out of curiosity. I didn't like-like it but it wasn't that bad either. Maybe it's more because I'm a chunky-gooey-cookie person.

It's still very relatable, humble even. I love that the prices haven't been erratically affected by inflation, nor did it stop the owner from decreasing the quality of its pastries. Anyone who lives in the area I'm sure has bought one of their cakes at least once. My favorite here is the Aggy's Choco Moist Caramel cake. It's best for days when you want to fill your belly with chocolate and get slightly buzzed from all the sugar. They have great customized cakes too, perfect for birthday parties and other occasions. Come in the morning so you can get everything new and freshly-baked!

And when my sister and I were still young enough for kiddie birthday parties, our cakes would come from here and the decorations would always make us and our friends go "WOOOOW". Now my little brother gets to enjoy that as well. Amazing how this tiny cake shop can produce such good pastries, and with incredible consistency over the years that the people of the south have come to rely on.

Park Avenue Desserts - More Than Just a Sweet Stop! Rating:…read more4.5/5 This charming café may be known for desserts, but Park Avenue Desserts deserves a bigger spotlight for the wide range of goodies it offers! From gorgeously made cakes to indulgent pastries and local favorites with a twist, this place is a hidden gem for any sweet tooth or carb lover. Let's talk sweets and treats! Here are some standout items that caught my eye and taste buds: Dark Chocolate Clusters - Crunchy cornflakes generously coated in rich Belgian dark chocolate (PHP 225). Addictively good and perfect for gifting or munching during a Netflix night. Molten Brownie Bites - Rich, gooey, fudgy brownies (PHP 260 for 8 pieces). They taste homemade but have that polished, luxurious finish. Brookies - A brownie and chocolate chip cookie in one bite? Yes, please! (PHP 290). The best of both worlds, chewy and chocolatey. Ensaymada Queso de Bola & Cheddar - Fluffy, buttery, and topped with a generous amount of shredded cheese (PHP 130 and PHP 110 respectively). The Queso de Bola version had a distinct, nostalgic richness that I loved. Cinnamon Rolls - These are soft ensaymada-style rolls with cinnamon and raisins (PHP 130). Not overly sweet, which I appreciated. Cheese Rolls - Classic and satisfying (PHP 65). Savory-sweet, soft, and perfect with coffee. Smores Bar - Honestly, this was a surprise hit. The browned marshmallows on top give it a s'mores-like vibe--unique and super comforting. In the Chiller: The cake chiller is like an art gallery for desserts: * Macarons (PHP 65) - Light, crisp shells and creamy centers. The pistachio and strawberry stood out. * Mini Cakes and Mousse Treats - Beautifully crafted and Instagram-worthy. I didn't get to try them all, but the pink-striped cakes and salted caramel mousse domes looked divine. Perfect for gifting or special celebrations. Ambience: The space itself is cozy, modern, and warmly lit with gold accents and wood finishes. There's a clean, minimalist vibe, with enough space for catch-ups over coffee or solo dessert indulgence. What I missed (but coming back for!): I didn't get to try their savory menu like sandwiches and brunch plates--but they looked really promising. Based on presentation and their overall quality, I'd bet they're just as good. Final Verdict: Park Avenue Desserts delivers on its promise of beautiful and delicious. Whether you're after classic Filipino pastries, elevated sweets, or something gift-worthy, this is your spot. And yes--I'm definitely coming back for brunch.
