This cafe is our go-to French bakery in South Manila – Manila Bulletin

The secret is out: Baker J from Crimson Alabang offers an impressive selection of pastries. For those who need a bit of translation, the French term refers to “things from Vienna, Austria”, specifically in the area of ​​food. According to Cordon Bleu, it is the “bridge between pastry and French bread”. Typically, it includes croissants and brioches, as well as pain au chocolat, raisin bread, etc.

At Baker J, the wide array of artisan breads are handcrafted and perfected by Crimson Hotel Filinvest City Executive Pastry Chef Nicolas Pasdeloup. With decades of culinary expertise, Chef Nicolas brings another dimension to Baker J.

Available every day, homemade breads and pastries are the stars of the menu. Here, Baker J shares a guide to her range of French delights:

Sourdough bread
With sourdough bread, it contains no yeast, milk, oils, eggs or sweeteners. Instead, this bread uses a fermented “starter”, helping to break down gluten. Indeed, it makes the inside of the bread softer and more digestible. For its sourdough, Baker J uses a 2-year starter made with a mixture of mango, calamansi, apple and raisin.

Also available at Baker J are Country Sourdough Bread, Beet Sourdough Bread, and Whole Wheat Sourdough Bread.

Mixed seed bread
Baker J’s Signature Mixed Seed Bread is loaded with sesame seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and rolled oats. It is a tasty source of fiber and protein.

Bread with dried fruits and nuts
Baker J’s Dried Fruit and Nut Bread pairs well with cheese, charcuterie, and wine, making it perfect to accompany your charcuterie platter. Made with dried fruit and black tea infused water, this bread imparts a deep, slightly fruity flavor.

Almond croissant
Just when you thought the croissant couldn’t get any better, Baker J offers their version of the almond croissant, filled with delicious cream and topped with sliced ​​almonds.

Growing Cube
Delight in Baker J’s Cube Croissant because it’s the perfect croissant in bread form. It is then filled with homemade salted caramel and topped with more salty caramel and nuts.

Chocolate bread
More than just a decadent cousin of the croissant, Baker J’s pain au chocolat is a buttery concoction with a rich chocolate filling. Savor it with tea and coffee choices from Baker J.
