Mernel's Bakeshop has officially become one of our top-of-the-list stopovers whenever we would…read morevisit Los Baños for other notable things like Milka Krem's Chocolate Milk at UPLB. 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!

Located close to the Starbucks the bread shop offers a big selection of specialty buns and breads…read more Pick out all the breads you'd like and then they'll package them at the counter. 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!

Oh yes.... Clydes' frappes makes me smile... the prep time might need improvements, still I would…read morego to Clydes in a heartbeat than SB.

Whenever I go to Tagaytay, my mom would always tell me, "Buy me a buko pie." At first, I bought her…read moreColette's then it became Rowena's. One day, a friend brought me to The Orient and said, "This is the BEST buko pie." I was skeptical at first, but after the first bite, he was right! I really wonder how I never knew about this place before. The best thing about this buko pie compared to the others is that it's not sweet AT ALL. The crust is thin, buko is plentiful and not too much sugar. I really felt like I was eating BUKO pie and not sugar and flour with buko flavor. Maybe I'm the last to know, but this will definitely be my new favorite pasalubong. Come early in the morning. They usually sell out by early afternoon or lunch if you're unlucky. They have only one branch people. Gotta get a move on.

Do you have the good old-fashioned sweet tooth? Ahl's might be worth the 2-hour road trip to…read moresatisfy that! A small bakery along the Grove in Los Baños, Ahl's is the community's modern take to dessert, as opposed to the classical chocolate cakes of Mer-Nel's. Armed with a menu that would make diabetes possible, Ahl's would also partner that with ever so affordable prices (at 100 pesos or less)! Its signature BTS, short for Better Than Sex, is one tempting dessert that might be hard to beat--a moist chocolate cake that's drowning with caramel fudge and topped with some fluffy whipped cream, you'll be finding yourself praying for the strength to not give in. On another note though, there's also their Death by Chocolate (do I even have to elaborate on that one?), another tempting concoction that will show you the sweeter side of punishment. So, next time you're in Elbi, try passing by Ahl's for a quick dessert and give your sweet toothed-self another temptation, or two, to crave for.

When in San Pablo, stop by Kalahi Bakery always! 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. :)

I almost want to slap myself for giving this place 4 stars. I'm rather fond of mom and pop…read morebakeries, but Bibingkinitan is a food stall in the middle of SM San Pablo. Still, their bibingkas are delicious and affordable. Plus, my mother loved it so much on her trip back to the PI that she told me to return to the States with about 6 boxes when I went. Their bibingkas are mini-sized which are perfect for a quick small breakfast. There are a few variations such as macapuno, pastillas, ube, and crunchy peanut. I opted for the original bibingka in the bibingkape combo. Man, the butter worked well with the salted duck egg and cheddar cheese and there was a pretty good balance of sweet and salty. Few things are better than freshly baked bread/cakes and Bibingkinitan has it down. Their barako coffee was just ok but I enjoyed it. To be honest, I like this place. Next time I am back, I'm probably going to purchace several boxes for my mother haha.
