Sourdough Cafe in Makati: Perea’s Quiet European-Inspired Brunch Place

Sourdough Cafe began as a shared vision among a group of family and friends who were united by their passion for exceptional food and curated wine.

Established under Gastronomic Food and Wine Corporation, the café first opened in August 2019 on Tomas Morato, Quezon City with the goal of introducing authentic European flavors to the Filipino market.

Built around the concept of “Coffee ’til Wine,” Sourdough Cafe offers guests an experience that effortlessly transitions from morning brews to evening glasses of wine, an elevated yet inviting take on European casual dining.

Their Makati branch along quiet Perea Street in Legazpi Village beautifully reflects this vision. Known for its homey atmosphere, Sourdough Cafe has become a go-to spot for those seeking a cozy escape in the middle of the bustling city. Its al fresco dining area, in particular, has gained popularity among local celebrities who frequent the café for its relaxing ambiance—an ideal setting for spending unhurried moments with friends and family.

With the success of its flagship branch and growing customer love, Sourdough Cafe expanded to Makati with two locations: Perea Street and Proscenium Rockwell, each offering the same thoughtful dining experience.

At Sourdough Cafe, you will be amazed as to how they bake their breads. Their bread is a labor of love crafted by one of their chef-owners, whose deep passion and expertise in bread-making shine through in every loaf.

They use only the finest ingredients: premium unbleached flour for superior texture and flavor, and a specialty artisanal baking salt sourced from a small-batch producer in Pangasinan.

Combined with traditional sourdough methods that require patience, skill, and meticulous attention to detail, their bread features a distinctive crust, complex flavor profile, and tender crumb that sets them apart. It’s not just bread: it’s a testament to the craft, care, and quality ingredients that go into every bite.

With the Christmas season fast approaching, Sourdough Cafe Proscenium branch offers the Puto Bumbong Sourdough, a festive sourdough inspired by the beloved Filipino Christmas delicacy, featuring ube jam, cheese, and desiccated coconut for a nostalgic taste of tradition.
