I hate The Lost Bread. I hate their super thick and rich milkshakes that explode with crazy and brilliant ideas. Seriously? An ice cream milkshake with an entire doughnut blended in, and topped with whipped cream and coffee sprinkles? I hate how this weird culinary invention cools me down during a hot day. Ew. What about a soft-serve ice cream blended with peanut butter, a slice of brownie and topped with nuts? Gross, right? They have a vanilla cake milkshake mixed topped with caramel popcorn and a giant cloud of cotton candy. They also have an adults-only drink list with shots of Bailey's, Kahlua and Vodka mixed in with the milkshakes. What were these guys smoking when they thought of these outrageous drink ideas, huh? Okay, I'm going to stop there with the failed attempt at writing a satire. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! I cannot wait until they finally start selling their french toasts, which sound heavenly. The Lost bread is still on its soft opening, and I can't wait to have the grilled cheese and tomato soup combo that they have on the menu. They will have a variety of sweet and savory french toasts to go with their eccentric yet awesome milkshake inventions. The owners Emil and Patty are such sweethearts, too! They are always so nice and accommodating. They close down during Mondays, and expect long lines when they do open the rest of the week. Normal waiting time is 15-30 minutes for a milkshake since there is usually a line to the door.
This place confused me during my first visit. From the outside, it looked like someone's idea of a bakery, which meshed with its name, which is a literal translation of 'pain perdu', which is French for toast. Upon entering, you realize that they make shakes, mainly, and that they don't even have French toast on the menu. Huh. Shoulder through that disconnect though, and you'll be surprised at what you'd find. A milkshake with popcorn mixed in, and topped with a huge Afro bob of cotton candy? Yes, please. They also have liquor-infused milkshakes which I admit is tempting. I have to come back and try those, stat.
Tried The Lost Bread at Maginhawang Pasko, a food festival celebrating all the food in the area surrounding Maginhawa Street. Good service, the place is small but cute, and I like the whimsical concepts of the milkshakes. If I were just to base it off the milkshakes alone though, I would have to give it a 6.5/10. My friend actually remarked that she thought both our milkshakes tasted more or less the same, despite having very different flavor profiles. The Kahlua in the Swiss Missed milkshake was not strong at all. The milkshakes were also pretty thin, and didn't have the creaminess or rich flavor I was looking for. Prices are around ~100P per drink so it's affordable for sure, but I would be willing to splurge a little more on an awesome milkshake.
I guess I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to how I like my milkshakes, but The Lost Bread's Carnival, by its sheer appearance, was something I knew I had to try. As one of StrEAT's main draws, this little café cum bakery offers up some crazy milkshakes, too! I love that the presentation is fantastic and the flavors are creative, though I'm not sure I'll order the Carnival again because it took so long to arrive, and it was a tad too sweet for my liking! Granted, I came at a peak hour and they were making the Carnival by batch, but still.
Located in a small food park in UP village. Ordered quite instagrammable signature drink named carnival. Visual was perfect, yet actually the cotton candy was a bit too sticky ad overly sweet. Shake itself was pretty decent. If they could provide something to wipe your fingers, it'll be very generous enough to get one more star.
When I heard about a French Toast place opening at StrEAT, I was excited. There's something about French toast I love. Maybe it's the custard, maybe it's the way that people have started using French toast as a canvas for other flavors that gets me excited, I don't know. All I knew was I had to try out the new place. It wasn't until after Holy Week that I finally got my first taste of the Lost Bread. So, how was it? Was the wait worth it? Well.... When the doors finally opened, I was disappointed to find that the french toast wasn't available. So much for that. But I was determined. Given the people who showed up waiting for them to open, there should be something worth ordering on their menu, right? So I decided to go with my gut and ordered the Carnival. Caramel popcorn, in-house made cotton candy, not a bad price for a decently sized milkshake, how could you go wrong? What I got was visibly exciting: a thick vanilla milkshake with caramel popcorn and a huge ball of cotton candy. Good concept. Delectable to the eye. The taste however was slightly underwhelming. Under the surface, it was a vanilla milkshake with caramel popcorn. The cotton candy didn't really add much to the flavor but it was fun to nibble on before digging into the milkshake. The milkshake was fine. Creamy, thick (maybe a little too thick) and reminiscent of melted ice cream but in a good way! Not too sweet which is a good thing. Will I be going back? Only if I can finally get my hands on that elusive French toast.
I have no clue why this place gets good reviews. Honestly the hype died down for me when i tasted their milkshake. Everything was either too sweet or too bland there was no balance at all. Especially since i ordered all their best sellers (sodapop thing was too sweet, the popsicle just confused my tongue, the carnival was visually spectacular but man was that milkshake bad and the maple pancake.. ooohh the maple pancake, it was like a 7 yearold cooked it) - utter disappointment. Maybe because i relied so heavily on their instagram pictures #instaSCAM. On the lighter note their staff was very nice and service was fast hence the 2 star.
A milkshake topped with cotton candy? Why hasn't anyone thought of this before? A 2-hour wait to get The Carnival was, actually, worth it. Obviously, The Lost Bread isn't the milkshake hub of choice for the impatient ones, nor for those dining alone. Yes, they take a long time to open (they were still on soft opening when I visited) and they had to close again after 30 minutes of taking orders but they do make up for it with the taste and the experience. The Carnival, to me, reminded me of really good McDonald's sundae. The soft cotton candy was crafted inside the store itself, and the caramelized popcorn separating the cotton candy from the milkshake was a bonus. For a milkshake as unique and ingenious as this, you'd expect it to be priced relatively higher than other milkshake hubs. Surprisingly, it's actually much, much cheaper! I would come back with friends in tow just for the liquor infused drinks.
Note: I went to the MegaMall location in Mandaluyong, but couldn't find a Yelp page for that. I saw this on my friend's Instagram from his recent trip to the Philippines and made it a point to go too. The place is cute and tropically decorated. The cashier was very helpful and informative about the different toppings/flavors. We ordered two s'mores Sub-zero soft serve cups and one mini s'mores shake for my grandma. It was aesthetically pleasing and tasted pretty good. Nothing too crazy special about the flavor since ours was all blue-colored vanilla. There was a good amount of ice cream though, and I love anything s'mores so the marshmallows and graham cracker went well with it. Also loved the chocolate syrup syringe!! I knocked off a star because we actually got lost trying to find it (no one working in SM knew where it was but that's more the mall's fault than the actual place. So frustrating!). Also 4 stars because the inside is very small and so are the tables and chairs, and it took a while for our desserts to come out. It was good but probably won't be back anytime soon. read more
Disclaimer: I went to the MegaMall location. I think the MegaMall location is a new, because there's no Yelp page for it. I was wandering around the mall and stumbled upon a pastel-y colored shop filled with a lot of people taking pictures of their drinks and soft-serve. I decided to drop by and order the Baby Cookie Jar and Chocolate Popcorn Soft Serve. Baby Cookie Jar: a smaller size of the regular-sized Cookie Jar. It's filled with brown sugar cinnamon, chocolate cookie, and cookie dough ice cream. I thought that the drink was too sweet. I was expecting the drink to taste like a chocolate chip cookie, but it tasted more like a snickerdoodle because it had a very strong cinnamon flavor. I wasn't fan of the drink. Chocolate Popcorn Soft Serve: since it was the holidays, they only had a Gingerbread Cookie Crunch flavored soft serve. It was so good! The chocolate popcorn with the soft serve wasn't too sweet. It also came with a syringe filled with chocolate syrup, so you can put as much chocolate you want on your chocolate popcorn / soft serve that is served on a chocolate cone. Chocolate-overload! Overall, this place serves very Instagrammable drinks and desserts. If you want to satisfy your sweet tooth, then come try this place! Since I am not a fan over overly-sweet things, I would take a pass on the drinks and get a soft serve. read more

I found the Lost Bread (this sounded fun!) along Maginhawa! They take up a small space in the Food StrEat but they already started their soft opening just a couple of steps across. It looked really clean and new and minimalistic - with a loft and white walls in contrast with black and wooden furniture. I really liked the design. I decided to have coffee here after eating dinner cause this was a curious place. Looking at their menu, I decided to get the Cappucino and my sis went with the Cookie jar milkshake. I thought the coffee was just fine, a bit strong, nothing really special but also nothing bad with it. I liked their little spoon for the coffee!^^ So, about the milkshake... I've never seen such a thing in my entire life like that! I'm gonna say that's a 5* for the effort on the presentation! If you're gonna look at the picture, they had the cookies stick outside of the jar's lid. Me and my sis thought the milkshake was so sweet and she gave up on it later so I was the one to finish like 60% of the jar and the cookies (this is the most sugar I've consumed in one day for the last 12 months!). I didn't like it that much because it was too sweet and it has so much milk (which I don't like). On drinks alone, I'd give them 3 for the taste but let's add 1 for the creative presentation they've given thought of. I really liked the sleek and modern interior they have, it's cool for studying too. Except, it has no wifi. But it has outlets for those who'll use their laptops (at the loft at least). Their service is great too, very approachable and friendly servers. read more

I went to the maginhawa branch. This place was alright. I've been to other dessert spots and this one is alright. They make their drinks too sweet. I couldnt finish the whole cup. At one point it I got tired of it. read more

So many options that I ordered two things. The cookie jar and a strawberry lychee iced tea. Of the two, the iced tea was most appealing for my taste buds, but the cookie jar shake was just plain fun! read more

The first time I saw this shop, I wondered why it had a closed sign by the window when it was clearly open and even had a short line outside the door. I soon realized they only let a few people in at one time because it's actually much smaller on the inside. Even though Lost Bread is the literal translation of "pain perdu," French toast was sadly absent from the menu but their milkshakes made up for it. There are a couple classic combinations (they even have "18+" spiked ones for the older crowd), although some sound more weirdly interesting than others when imagined in blended form (how about waffles, maple syrup, and bacon?). I tried the Nut Interested with peanut butter, banana, and chocolate (one of my favorite trios!) and my little brother's caramel popcorn-filled Carnival came with a HUGE piece of homemade cotton candy on top. It was quite a wait though, but turned out to be a pretty sweet way to end our night! read more
