BAKE Cheese Tart Announces Permanent Closure in the Philippines

(SPOT.ph) Remember the time when cheese tarts were all the rage? Although the trend does come and go, we still have those reliable places we can always go to when the craving calls for it. Unfortunately, we're losing one of these places after their seven-year run in the Philippines. Tokyo's BAKE Cheese Tart is permanently closing its local branches.

Bake Cheese Tart announces permanent closure

An automated response on their Instagram says, "After 7 wonderful years, BAKE Philippines has permanently closed its doors. We are grateful for your support and the memories we shared. Thank you for being part of our journey!" This is paired with a "Thank you Manila" post on their Instagram page, captioned "Thank you for 7 years of cheesy memories." 

Now, the overthinker in us got us questioning said post: Is this an anniversary post... or a farewell post? As it turns out, it's the latter. Unfortunately, BAKE Cheese Tart has permanently closed down. 

BAKE Cheese Tart had two branches, namely the ones at Podium and Rockwell Power Plant Mall. Just in case you need a refresher, the first BAKE Cheese Tart branch opened at Podium back in December 2017, followed by Rockwell Power Plant Mall in January 2018.

Don't cry just yet, here's a workaround: If you are—or you know someone who is—traveling to Japan anytime soon, BAKE Cheese Tart has several branches scattered all over the the different prefectures. If not Japan, they also have a few branches in South Korea, Thailand, Hong Kong, and the United States. And when you do chance upon a branch, the Cheese Tart is always a given, but you should definitely explore their other flavors such as Chocolate, Matcha, Fromage, and more.
