Have you recently tried to purchase Mary Grace's famous ensaymada (the top placer in our 2019 Top 10 Ensaymadas in Manila list!) for your afternoon snack? You might have had a hard time getting your hands on the cafe's ensaymadas and there's a reason for that: Mary Grace is currently experiencing a supply issue on a number of their raw materials.
In an official statement of the cafe, it says, "Unfortunately, we're experiencing some global supply issues on a few materials, beyond our control."
Though Mary Grace don't specify the exact reason they're having a hard time sourcing, the shortage may be linked to the Ukraine-Russia war and other countries banning food exports, which include wheat and oil.
