115 AGUINALDO HIGHWAY MENDEZ CROSSING WEST, TAGAYTAY CITY

What started out as a love for coffee has expanded to include a bakery and mini café. Bag of Beans is a treat for its breads, too, which are baked fresh daily. So fresh, in fact, that poking one lightly on one side will leave a depression that will spring back up seconds after. Whether you opt for cinnamon, cinnamon-raisin, breaded or white bread, you can be sure that these will still taste mouthwatering even if you’ve been back in Manila for a couple of days. The loaves are ordered daily by Sonya’s Garden and other dining restaurants around Tagaytay. The English pies, like steak-and-kidney, chicken ala king and dessert pies in apple cinnamon are still good even after thawing that you won’t have the discipline to stop even after your second or third serving. Most of the breakfast menus have the white breads, if not on the side, at its centerpiece. What’s more, almost all of Bag of Beans meals are good to share.
