Maker and Made in BGC: Home of Artisanal Sourdough and Thoughtful, All-Day Dining
Nestled in the heart of Bonifacio Global City, Manila, Maker and Made emerges as a standout café-bakery that fuses the laid-back essence of Australian brunch culture with the vibrant, resourceful spirit of the Philippines. Here, food meets craft as the team celebrates artisanal techniques while staying deeply rooted in local flavour.

This dedication begins with their sourdough! Each loaf is baked using a French starter with 160 years of history, a heritage element that lends every bread its fragrant aroma, nuanced tang, and unmistakable depth.

Building on this foundation, Maker and Made champions collaboration at every level. Local farmers, growers, and craftsmen provide the ingredients that shape the menu, while fermentation, marination, and other thoughtful methods draw out natural flavours, elevating simplicity into something remarkable.

This philosophy shines in their signature creations. One highlight is the Sourdough Pan de Sal, a chewy, golden-crusted twist on a beloved Philippine classic that transforms a familiar staple into a comforting yet elevated treat.

Equally noteworthy is the Sourdough Ad-Rye Loaf. Here, rye’s bold earthiness meets the tangy depth of sourdough, resulting in a hearty bread with a robust and well-balanced flavour profile.

For those who enjoy something richer, the Croix Ensaymada offers indulgence in every bite. Crafted with fermented butter and white cheddar, it marries Filipino nostalgia with refined artisanal technique—soft, buttery, and satisfyingly decadent.

Beyond bread, Maker and Made extends its philosophy into an all-day brunch experience. Guests can enjoy toasties and sanger dishes as early as 7:00 am, or return later for freshly baked sourdough pizzas and pastas. Inside, the space hums with the rhythm of craft: artisans shaping dough, baristas pulling espressos, and diners savoring fresh-from-the-oven loaves.
Ultimately, Maker and Made is more than a café. By prioritising Philippine-grown produce and slow, intentional craftsmanship, it invites diners to savour not just what is made, but how it is made. Whether dropping by for weekend brunch or picking up breads for take-out, guests are treated to food with story, substance, and soul.
