It’s not what you’d expect from a 25-year-old bakery near Doonside train station, but there it is: a mahogany-hued modernist space, oversized floral arrangement at its centre, selling savoury-sweet Filipino breads and pastries. The renovation is new, but the Filipino menu was a gradual takeover as original owners (the Aringo family) adjusted to community needs. Now helmed by Jeremiah Luya, the bakery combines tried-and-tested pandesal and cheese-dusted ensaymadas with new-wave additions including purple ube macapuno (coconut) cake.
Good to know: You can dine-in, pairing your pastry with a specialty coffee or iced matcha latte.
