Strolling around Bonifacio Global City in Taguig can frequently bring unexpected surprises, such as a recently opened hair salon, a restaurant, or a fresh bakery and coffee shop. It’s exactly how we found KIJI Bakehouse<\/strong> at Verve One on the 26th St. of BGC<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

KIJI Bakehouse stands as one of Bonifacio Global City\u2019s most beloved neighborhood bakeries, but its story begins long before the first batch of croissants came out of the oven.<\/p>\n

Its founder, Ms. Charyn Lim, spent over a decade working as an art director, building brands, shaping campaigns, and following a creative path many would consider a dream career. Beyond her design career, she also studied pastry arts at Ferrandi Paris and trained at the prestigious P\u00e2tisserie Carl Marletti, deepening her understanding of French techniques and craftsmanship.<\/p>\n

By 2022, after years in the design industry, she felt a growing desire to create something more tangible, something that could offer comfort and joy in people\u2019s everyday lives. This calling eventually led her to open KIJI Bakehouse.<\/p>\n

Today, the bakehouse continues to thrive, baking breads and pastries that are handmade in small batches using premium French ingredients<\/strong>, including Elle & Vire butter.<\/p>\n

Upon entering KIJI Bakehouse, guests are greeted by a warm and abundant display of freshly baked goods. One side features an array of breads, from hearty corn loaves to sweet and savory croissants, beautifully arranged to showcase their craftsmanship.<\/p>\n

On the opposite side, customers will find an enticing selection of Danish pastries, pizzas, and their playful signature \u201ccroissandwich,\u201d a delightful fusion of croissant and sandwich.<\/p>\n
