    With the grueling activities that Sagada has to offer, such as trekking and spelunking, it is not impossible to feel famished. After a hot shower and a comforting cup of coffee or tea, treat yourself to an elegant spread at the Log Cabin! Photo from Trip Advisor website Although not located at the town center, the Log Cabin can be reached in five to ten minutes by walking. It is very hard to miss: it is literally a log cabin perched on a rock by one of the town’s main roads.

    It has been said once and we’ll say it again: Sagada is a town made for walking. Most of the time, first-time tourists find it tiring to go up and down the hilly food street in this sleepy town.

    Costa Brava

    A made-to-order cake shop that opens in a confectionery bazaar every weekend on the first floor of Powerplant Mall, under Baker’s Dozen. Costa Brava is a very famous shop, known for its “healthy sugar” which is made from the sap of the palm. The most popular item is Caramel Cake. It is delicious even if you just eat the sponge dough because of its texture that is soft with a little moisture. The butter cream of the cake is applied thinly, just to coat the cake and the taste is not that overpowering. For the cake does not use any preservatives, the aftertaste is refreshing.

    The Peninsula Boutique in Makati: A Luxurious Stop for Breads and Cakes

    The Peninsula Boutique, located inside The Peninsula Manila in Makati, offers a warm and comforting café experience within the hotel’s basement-level retail area. IMAGE from Philippine Primer Surrounded by a row of curated specialty shops, the boutique is a quiet spot where guests can enjoy a thoughtful selection of Filipino-inspired original breads alongside traditional local favorites. IMAGES from Philippine Primer What sets The Peninsula Boutique apart is its use of distinctly Filipino ingredients such as ube and coconut, giving many of its breads a familiar yet elevated local character. These ingredients bring a sense of nostalgia to each bite, while also introducing hotel-quality refinement to everyday Filipino baking. Among the must-try items is the indulgent Cheese Ensaymada —a soft, pillowy pastry generously topped with butter and cheese. Rich yet comforting, it’s a favorite for merienda or a sweet afternoon pick-me-up. IMAGE from Philippine Primer For those craving something with deeper indulgence, the Pain au Chocolat delivers flaky pastry layers filled with generous amounts of chocolate. It offers a delightful balance of buttery texture and rich sweetness, blending European pastry technique with the boutique’s approachable café style. IMAGE from Philippine Primer Another staple is the humble Pan de Sal, widely loved as the country’s everyday bread. Lightly crisp on the outside and tender inside, it captures the simple, familiar flavor Filipinos have cherished for generation Tucked within one of Makati’s most well-loved hotel destinations, The Peninsula Boutique offers a comforting escape where guests can enjoy familiar Filipino flavors elevated with care. Whether stopping by for a traditional bread, a sweet treat, or a moment of calm between errands, it remains a welcoming destination for simple pleasures made special.
