They have recently been renamed as New El Nido Bakery while still retaining the “Midtown” brand. For purposes of avoiding confusion, we still suggest asking locals where Midtown Bakery is. As one of the oldest bakeries in El Nido, it’ll be hard to forget and every local would be happy to point you in the right direction!
Bakeries in El Nido are rare to come by and Midtown Bakery may as well be the only one in the area. Therefore, it is advisable to come by for freshly baked bread in the morning but take note that there may be crowds looking for fresh pandesal too!
