They have green plants on each table as a centerpiece. Currently, they have the cafe decked out in christmas decor of wreaths with glittery bright blue, purple and gold. The gift boxes come in a bright red color, very festive! They sort of highlight the store too since they are stacked in shelves behind the refrigerated cases. I convince my husband to spend a few mins to have a slice of cake and coffee. It only takes a few minutes to gobble up the cakes, im sure! I had the swiss chocolate cake that has the creamy meringue outside its chocolate sponge cake and honeycomb bits inside. Heaven! I swiped one of the two crinkles on my husband's plate. It was decadent! If you've never had chocolate crinkles before, you're missing out. Plus, I've been around and these are gold standard crinkles right here. The box of 24 is only 300 pesos! WORTH IT! We decided to get a box of 24 to eat later at home As I write this review, I just got home after two hours of driving. I have already polished 5/24 pcs. It had been left in the car for 5 hours before we actually headed home but it is amazingly soft and tastes freshly baked. I can't praise this bakery anymore than humanly possible. Just try it! The other branches might be closed but this one inside Valle Verde 1 village is still alive. On regular days they have plenty of lot parking in front of the basketball court.

In fact, it's still my mom's go to potluck contribution to any party or last minute Christmas gift to friends, as well as their addicting Chocolate Crinkles. If she ever comes home with any of them as a treat, I immediately zone in on the signature maroon box from Becky's and strategize the quickest way to get my hands on it then get to a safe place in the house where I wouldn't have to share. I'm happy they opened the branch in Valle Verde a while back because it's much nearer to where I live. What's more is that there's an actual dining area where you can have coffee and a slice of cake as opposed to their original branch in Taft with just the display cases, counter and some seating for waiting customers. If you have a chance to visit either location, I recommend their soft and flavorful Cheese Rolls and decadent Swiss Chocolate Cake in addition to their famous brownies and crinkles!

There were also numerous articles and videos about this bakery being the oldest bakery in the Philippines, which has been in business since 1919. I purchased four different types of pandesal, after reading about this place. There were a couple of pandesals that were still hot, and they were placed into paper bags. They also have cookies, cakes, pies, and pastries. I highly recommend going to this place early in the morning and purchasing their hot pandesal. I loved, loved, loved their hot pandesal that were straight out of the oven! Oh my gosh, if you're in the area, you've got to check this bakery out that has been around for over 100 years.

And yes, I do get a lot of, "But whyyy?" reactions from people. That aside, I do get occasional cravings -- days when I just really need something sweet to cap off a big meal or a reward after a long day. Purple Oven is the perfect place to satisfy my dessert desires. I love the Chocolate Campfire cake, it's rich, moist, chocolate cake that topped with marshmallow icing. MARSHMALLOW ICING! I suppose you could take a slice and sandwich it between graham crackers and call it a smore. For days when you just need a little sweetness, try the double chocolate chip cookie, choclate macademia cookie or chocolate dipped cookie (where literally have the cookie is dipped in chocolate). They're pricey at P60/cookie but they're a little bigger than my palm and the chocolate chips ooze out when you bite into the cookie. There is no scrimping on ingredients in Purple Oven. The products here would also make great presents. They're hefty and have the wow factor because of their packaging. The chocolate crinkles, lemon squares, brownies and revel bars would be great to share at the office while the cakes would be awesome to bring home to family or to impress in-laws. Enjoy!

Offerings such as emsaymadas, cupcakes, mamons, and the like are available and are all fairly delicious. But it's their cakes and more specifically their cake decorations that are exciting. Iko's provides classically decorated cakes, the type you see in fancy weddings with sugar flowers and pastel fondants. These cakes certainly look as sophisticated as those you'd get in hotels and more expensive bakeries. Every cake at Iko's is a feast for the eyes and of course you can customize your own design as you wish. Flavor-wise Iko's offers great classics like vanilla, chocolate, and red velvet all of which are great but aren't mind blowing or particularly unique. If you're looking for great design and for a cake that is simple and classic in taste then Iko's is perfect for you.

Pan De Manila in Tektite has always been Old Reliable, and the simple joy of eating fresh pan de sal is something I share in common with pretty much every Filipino - at least I think so. This particular branch is very small, so sometimes, there are actually pretty long lines that spill over into the outside corridor. Still, Pan de Manila's egg tarts (an underrated pleasure), Pesto Cheese Pan de Sal or even just the plain wheat pan de sal is worth lining up for. I recently discovered that the donuts, specifically the white chocolate-covered donut covered in almond slivers, is pretty good! It can almost give JCo a run for its money. Also, who doesn't think pan de sal is absolutely perfect with a hot cup of coffee in the morning? Definitely a huge fan of anything Pan de Manila does.

And the great thing is that the bakery she got this cake from is now super near where I work. Globake! I'm not sure when Globake started operating but I do remember passing by this big bakery on my way to work. They sell all sorts of different flavored cakes! And the thing I love about their products is that they aren't too sweet, which is the common flaw of most bakeries. Globake always seems to get the fluff and moisture of the cake's sponge perfectly well. The filling is also always delish! This underrated bakery should be having more of the spotlight! Their delicious cakes are perfect for Sunday family days or even any random day of the week when you get that cake craving!

Then, I stopped going 'cause I thought I had enough of their really good food. When I went back just last Sunday, I was pleasantly surprised. They added more dishes to their menu, they now have breakfast and free WiFi. I ordered what looked good (tapa) and begged my friends to try the new dishes so I could taste their food. The tapa tasted like bacon. It was crunchy and filling at the same time. The rest of the breakfast dishes tasted good, but I was happy and full with my tapa. Because I was so stuffed with oatmeal cookies, rum butter cupcakes and their Toblerone walnut torte, I got the rest for take-out. Got a couple of rolls, bacon and cheese, white cheese and corned beef. Here's a trick, buy their rolls and freeze them. When you're in the mood to have one or two, heat them up in an oven. Another tip, if you like their rolls. .You know, the ones they serve when you order a dish, ask the lady at the counter if they're selling any. Normally, they don't, but there are times the lady decides to sell a bag or two.

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

I've visited their original branch in Clark and I was pretty pleased that Mr. Park's Bread & Cake is open 24/7! Yay! You MUST try their Cream Puffs (Php10/each) to go with their coffee. They also have flavored Cream Puffs for Php14 a piece. One you pop one in your mouth, you can't stop! You also have to try the Egg Morning sandwich and the Jumbo Croquette. My favorite is the Red Bean Bun because it is HUGE but soft, chewy and has the right amount of sweetness. I'll be honest, like this place better than Bread Talk. It's chill and perfect for breakfast or merienda. Coffee is good (which means served the way I like it, sweet) and was served in a large mug. If you don't want coffee or tea, they also have Korean drinks for you to try. Oh! If you want a cold dessert, go try their Bingsu! :D If you guys are looking for a place where you could spend hours with good food and drinks (plus sockets for ALL your gadgets) then this is the place for you! They have awesome bread creations and fast internet! Love it!

The cream puffs, though, are insane. As a cafe, the coffee is alright, and Mr Park's is open 24 hours and is comfortable enough to finish a long night's work or study. A. Mr Park's the Bakery (and Cream Puff Shop) Mr Park's Bread and Cake devotes half its floorspace to selling...bread and cake. I'm not sure if the ovens are on the premises, but judging the by the quality of the bread, they might as well be. People who like soft, sweet white bread shouldn't bother. The bread sold here is crusty and has a good chew, as baguettes should. If I may drop my pseudo-hipster pretensions for a moment, one of my favorite things is convenience store sandwiches. Mr. Park's sandwiches are like those, except with fresh bread and discernible meat. I know that sounds like an insult but they're really good,especially the bacon chicken one. The pastries have a distinctively Korean bent. Red bean and green tea flavors feature heavily in a variety of donuts. I don't have a particularly sweet tooth, so I can't say how good these really are. I will say that they aren't cloying, which is a good thing. All of these things, however, are to me side dishes to the mini cream puffs. Oh lord, the cream puffs. They're bite-sized little pockets of light, crisp dough filled with a shot of real whipped cream to order. They are almost as good as Beard Papa's, except a quarter of the size and P10 each for the plain ones. My sister and I bought a 20 pack to take home, only to stare at the bottom of an empty box after a couple of hours and "just one more cream puff." They're so good Mr Park's Bread and Cake should rename itself to Mr Park's Cream Puffs, Bread and Cake. Have I mentioned I like them? B. Mr. Park's, the Cafe. The other half of the floor space is seating for customers to enjoy their cream puffs, bread, cream puffs, and pastries, along with Mr Park's coffee. I'm a heavy coffee drinker, but not a connoisseur. I can't say if the coffee is from the lush hills of Sumatra or something, but I can say it's freshly brewed and pretty good. As you can see from the photos, all lattes come with latte art. I normally only just have brewed coffee with a bit of milk, but Mr. Park's has more exotic options if you'd like. I've only ever tried the Sweet Potato Latte, which does in fact taste like camote. Can't really say I'm into that, but the attention to detail did shine through. More importantly to me as a student, Mr. Park's is open 24 hours and has free wifi. I did put that to the test by cramming for an exam until 5:30 in the morning, so I can attest to the fact that 24 hours isn't just marketing speak. The Cafe's wifi is free, but can be spotty when there are a lot of customers. The only caveat I have about the Cafe seating is that most of the floor outlets have now been closed off since I first came here. However, there are still ample outlets near the walls, and a couple of outlets in the middle of the dining area. All in all, Mr. Park's is a pretty good cafe, a good bakery, and an awesome cream puff store.

They have all day breakfast along with a two displays of baked goods. In additon, there is a large freezer/fridge with cakes and other things. The tocino breakfast is filling and good sized. The bangus is crispy. The ensaymada is fluffy. The empanada was juicy. One of the display cases has a lot of brazo de Mercedes and other tasty looking treats. The location is great. There is a parking lot, but not too many slots. It is a paid lot. The flowers and cute decor adds to the adorable and relaxing ambience. I tried the blue lemonade is a little tart but good. The blue color is cool lol. Breakfast is a good choice here!! I have to come back other times of the day.
