5G Coffee House Makati: Your New Go-To Spot for Fresh Croissants
Tucked quietly on the first floor of a commercial building in Makati City, 5G Coffee House has become a beloved stop for pastry lovers seeking expertly crafted croissants and quality coffee.

A croissant-specialty workshop occupies the space, founded in 2019 by owner Ricardo Guinto, who has since grown the brand from a humble, home-based passion project into a known name in the city’s pastry scene.
What started as a small bakery in his garage, fueled purely by his love for baking, has now expanded into an established croissant bakery, specialty café, and laminated pastry commissary. Recognizing the rising demand for premium laminated pastries, the brand broadened its reach through the establishment of Croissants and Coffee Club Corporation, co-founded with JTJ. This new venture now supplies wholesale freshly baked croissants and laminated pastries to cafés, bistros, and events across the country.

The heart of 5G Coffee House lies in its dedication to laminated pastries. Its signature Classic Croissant stands out for its light texture and subtle butter aroma, delicate, easy to enjoy, and designed for those who appreciate understated elegance in every bite. This attention to detail reflects Guinto’s craft-driven approach, which has allowed the bakery to grow steadily since its founding.
For a bit of a twist, you may also try the Cinnamon Croissant Roll, a fragrant, cinnamon-infused treat with a caramelized outer layer and soft, buttery layers inside.

Partner this treat with the 5G Matcha Strawberry, a refreshing blend that balances earthy matcha with the sweetness of ripe strawberries, perfectly complementing the croissant’s delicate buttery layers.

Inside, the café exudes a minimalist and inviting charm: warm lighting, clean lines, and the unmistakable scent of freshly baked dough. Guests often drop by for a quick morning pastry, an afternoon treat, or a reliable pick-me-up between meetings. While seating is limited, the efficient layout makes it ideal for customers on the go.
Beyond the classic croissant, the shop offers a rotating selection of both sweet and savory pastries, often highlighting seasonal flavors or creative twists. Its growing range has attracted professionals, students, and neighborhood residents looking for something freshly baked and thoughtfully made.
