If you’re the type who gets excited over the smell of freshly baked bread or the sound of a perfectly crispy, flaky pastry, we feel you. It’s completely normal to have an obsession with everything baked, from the humble pandesal to the fancy Kouign Amann (pronounced kween uh·man, ICYDK). It’s totally understandable if you crave ‘em morning, noon, and night, too, preferably paired with some seriously good coffee.
So in solidarity with everyone who loves bread, we’ve rounded up some of the best bakeries where you can get your tinapay fix at SM Supermalls. Bonus tip: Don’t forget to check out SM Deals and download the SM Malls Online app for sweet discounts and deals!
