Whether you are a Filipino who grew up loving panaderia finds or a foodie on-the-go, their own version shall comfort you. First, quickly try the knuckle-sized Mongo Bread for P20. Savory red mung beans are rolled inside its soft and greased buns. Or grab the Spanish Bread for that sweet cravings at only P22. Don’t be fooled with its golden crust, it is fluffy and buttery ‘til the last bite.

Of course, the crowd favorite Pan De Coco can’t be missed. Priced at P23, beautifully glazed buns is packed with shredded coconut flavored in pandan flavor. Then, there is Ube Twist for P25, filled with locally produced purple yam. As the bread and purple are tangled, the earthy and nutty flavors are combined smoothly.
