If you’ve ever binge-watched Sex and the City, you might remember those quintessential New York moments—the fashion, the friendships, and of course, the desserts. Yes, we’re talking about that bakery where Carrie and Miranda shared a cupcake (or two) while dishing out life updates. Well, dessert lovers, it’s time to lace up your Manolos because the famous M Bakery has just opened in Quezon City! No need to book a flight to the Big Apple—your dream desserts have landed right here, and they’re sweeter than ever.

From New York to QC

Located in the new OPUS Mall, M Bakery’s latest café concept is here to make your sugar-filled fantasies come true. For those unfamiliar, M Bakery is a New York institution, best known for its legendary banana pudding and cupcakes that scream, “I belong in a rom-com!”

With its first branch in BGC in 2018, the bakery has already wowed the Metro Manila crowd. But this new spot in Quezon City is a whole different ballgame. It’s the biggest M Bakery branch in the Philippines so far, which means more room for indulging with your besties or even on your own—no judgment, just vibes.

Beyond Banana Pudding (But We Love That Too)

Sure, you came for the banana pudding, but you’ll stay for the ridiculously diverse dessert menu. They’ve gone big for their café debut. Think ice cream (in flavors that sound like luxury perfumes: pistachio, lychee sorbet, burnt butter), sundaes, dessert jars overflowing with layers of heaven, and even skillet-baked goodies like apple crumb and sea salt caramel. It’s basically a dessert buffet, but make it chic.

And for the adventurous sweet tooth, there are Filipino-inspired flavors too. Ube with white chocolate, anyone? It’s like your Lola’s favorite dessert got a stylish Manhattan upgrade.

Loaded Jars, Loaded Joy

For those who believe in more is more, M Bakery’s new Loaded Jars are exactly what the sugar gods ordered. These jarred desserts are stuffed—no, overflowing—with layers of flavors. From Roasted Strawberry to Ube White Chocolate Coconut, these aren’t just desserts; they’re an experience. And honestly, they’re Instagram gold, so yes, do it for the ‘gram.

Coffee & Confections

Of course, what’s a café without coffee? M Bakery isn’t just stopping at the sweets—they’ve gone full throttle with their Coffee Series. Imagine sipping on a Chocnut Latte while indulging in a Ruby Chocolate Loaded Jar. That’s the kind of pairing that dreams (and #aesthetic brunch dates) are made of. There’s even a Babyccino for the little ones, because who said adults should have all the fun?

Bringing New York to Your Local Scene

Walking into the new M Bakery Café feels like stepping into a page of Sex and the City—without the airfare, of course. The interiors channel that New York charm with a modern twist, and the scent of freshly baked desserts? Well, it’s just the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to forget your diet (you can always restart tomorrow, right?).

Whether you're grabbing a quick treat or making a whole afternoon of it with friends, this spot is destined to be your go-to dessert hangout. And with Quezon City’s food scene on the rise, it’s the perfect addition to satisfy the cravings of locals and city-hoppers alike.
