First on our list of cake and pastry shops in the Philippines is Rowena’s Bakeshop. If you’re a frequenter of Tagaytay, you’ve probably passed and stopped by Rowena’s Bakeshop at least once or twice. The Rowena’s you know now, which features a café and serves a wide array of meals, cakes, and pastries, started as a small stall that sold snacks along the highway of Sta. Rosa and Tagaytay. It’s also one of the bakery shops near Metro Manila.
There are many cakes and pastries you can try at Rowena’s, and you can also serve their cakes and pastries as a dessert, but you can’t leave their store without trying their signature Buko Tart (coconut tart) (PhP370). These dessert treats are smaller versions of your favorite buko pie minus the messy part. It’s crumbly, sweet, and pairs well with a hot cup of coffee.
2. Conti’s Bakeshop and Restaurant

Today, Conti’s is famous for its sweets, desserts, and delectable dishes that come in huge servings. It serves cakes and pastries, too!
Long-time fans of Conti already know that their bestseller is the Mango Bravo (PhP985-mini / PhP1,635-regular).

Becky’s Kitchen might not ring a bell to some in the world of cake and pastry shops in the Philippines, but this humble bakeshop in Manila has been considered an institution for its amazing cakes and bakes. This cake shop serves a wide array of cakes and pastries ranging from rolls and bread to bars and fudges to their beautiful cakes.
For newbies at Becky’s Kitchen, their Swiss Chocolate Cake (PhP75-slice / PhP335-half / PhP600-whole) is one of their favorite items on the menu. One look and it may seem like your typical cake, but inside the white frosting are two layers of chocolate cake with a great toffee in the middle, and it is perfect for a dessert.
Cakes and pastries are always a welcome addition to any meal or party.
