The cake is perfectly sweet, good with black coffee in my opinion, and the icing is the best so share those cake corners! I also noticed the cake is best when it's super cold, and the icing just gets better even when days go by.

This is my favorite cake shop! My family buys me a birthday cake every year since I've had this…read moresince my 1st birthday. I also buy this for their birthday if I had the budget to buy. The taste of the chocolate icing and chocolate-flavored cake is just amazing! I don't think I've had a taste of a cake that is better than Mer-Nel's!

It's literally the last and first booth you'll see if you are coming in from the parking garage. I bought a six pack of mini original bibingkas. I think it's 30 Pesos a piece. So a 6 pack was 180 pesos. The girl heated it up and you can also add butter if you like. I had my mini bibingka or BibingKinitan and it was yummy! Perfect portion size. Sweet but not too sweet. I may just eat the whole box by myself. I would definitely come back for more.

Okay Yelpmates. Just how good is your life today? Hopefully you're finding the specs of wonderful…read moreeven within those dark moments. Pretty sure it's there if you look hard enough. Slow down. Be with me for 6 minutes. Can you share a moment with me? Me, I am still on my retirement living, so this trip isn't vacation. Life as an energetic retiree is 100% vacation mode, all day, every day. I'm still in southeast Asia exploring Americana abroad. Seems western culture is celebrated here to the extreme. Today, another trip to Cinnabon. Check the pics. Here, the minibons are almost the size of a full cinnibon stateside, and the full sized Cinnabons, are Monsterbons. Why did I have to travel 8285 miles to get a proper Cinnabon? Yes, they also do this better than us. Lighter, but dense enough to give you a good rich bite. The coffees are megastrong. Service? Come on, this is just the friendliest place on earth since Mayberry. It's as if Aunt Bea, Andy, Opie, Barney Phife are somewhere here. Just that nice. If you know the reference, sheesh you're old (like me). Gotta go. Thank each of you for reading. I hope wherever you are in your lives, you're enjoying a bit of sweetness as I have here in the Phillipines at C'Bon. Life isn't short. Life is a million moments long if you're present and egaging them. Get unfocused, unrushed so you can take more of these mini-moments in. Like the thousands of grains of cinnamon in a humble Cinnabon, the moments add up to something sweet n' rich if you take time to savor each one. Don't wolf them down. Sit still, bite big, chew small, let life sit on your tastebuds a while. You don't have to travel far, or be retired to enjoy your life, you simply need to make the choice to. Be well, be loved, bite, sip, bite, sip. You really are worth enjoying your one life a bite at a time. Hope you've made that choice. Thanks again if you slowed down to read this far, to really read takes giving in to moments. If you are here with me now, I so appreciate you. Peace folks.

They have pre-packaged loaves and rolls as well. I really enjoy the shop for having such extremely soft breads. Personal favorite is definitely the spicy tuna bun. Their selection does range from sweet to savory. I haven't really seen any pastry type items in their display, but maybe some cake. They do have rolls and all easy to grab and go breads on lock!

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

My father was born and bred in San Pablo City so…read moregrowing up, my family would often visit my grandparents there and we'd frequent the Kalahi Bakery because their baked goods are super affordable and deeeeee-licious!! We eat them there and then and bring extras for our home in Manila. The assortment of flavors, snacks and desserts are endless and the colors are so vibrant and attractive you'd want to buy everything. To me, it's like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory but Filipinized and a bakery version. Their products are so good that they even have a branch in California where Filipinos and locals can enjoy their food. You know it's authentic when Filipinos abroad rave about them. I would suggest all the goodies you can try when you're there but that would take forever, haha. Try anything and everything! All the creations I've tried were all yummy. :)
