(SPOT.ph) The daily grind can be a drab to navigate, but you can still turn to simple pleasures to bring you joy on blah days—like stopping by a visually pleasing café for pastries, be it to have on the spot or to bring home to your fam and friends. When in BGC, Shangri-La the Fort's Bake House is one such spot for cakes, breads, pastries, and more; now, those closer to the North can now more easily get their fix as they recently opened a second outpost at Shangri-La Plaza.

Here's what to try from pastry shop Bake House in Shangri-La Plaza:

This café and pastry shop is the second branch of Bake House Manila, the resident house of baked goods of Shangri-La the Fort. It's a stimulating sight inside as they pair orange and cyan hues, with eyecatching curved details and the occasional appearance of foliage.

The Shangri-La Plaza branch similarly feature stellar bakes from all around the world—some classic, others made completely their own. Not to be missed from their shelves are their one-of-a-kind treats: the Aligue Croissant, the viennoiserie classic lent umami by our own crab-fat paste; the Oihana Cake (P1,750), a multilayered chocolate-on-chocolate dessert; and the Speijia Bread (P270), a dark wheat rye sourdough loaf with studded with dried figs, madera raisins, apricots, and prunes. It definitely doesn't hurt that all are made with zero trans fat and artificial dyes and flavorings.

Bake House also keeps the environment in mind as they employ  biodegradable, compostable, and recyclable materials for their takeaway packaging. This low-waste philosophy also extends to one of their menu items: the Conscious Cookie (P75), a homey treat cleverly repurposed from the bakeshop's cookie trims and other unused ingredients! Pair these treats with their range of coffee (pro tip—you can get their cups of joe for less when you buy Bake House's special KeepCup glass tumbler or bamboo tumblers), tea, and homemade kombucha and you're all set to wile away the afternoon.
