27 Jun 4 Pastry Shops with Unique Concepts in Cagayan de Oro
Pastry shops in Cagayan de Oro are sprouting like the proverbial mushrooms all over the city. It would seem that almost every nook and cranny of the city has some sort of pastry shop, from the really simple ones that are still designed like the old Chinese-owned bakeries (well, some of them have been around since the 1970’s) to the newer ones with unique conceptualized interiors. And it is the latter that we’ll be focusing on in this article. As much as possible we tried selecting some pastry shops that have really unique and cool concepts. Of course, with the hundreds of pastry shops around the city, we might have missed your favorite one, but give us credit for trying.
Chocolates and Creams
As their tagline, “the taste of dreams” suggest, as soon as you walk into the pastry café, you’ll find an area that’s made for the beach, complete with the inflatable inner tire tubing, a playhouse, and what almost looks like a tree house.
You can order your pastry and drinks and literally sit and lie around and just muck around, talk, study, or fiddle with your gadgets.
As the name implies, most of their pastries and sweets are either chocolaty or creamy in variety.
Their pastry bestseller is their Sans Lava, a different sort of sans rival with a creamy chocolate filling inside. You can find this playhouse, or rather, pastry shop, at the corner of Don A. Velez and Gaerlan Streets.
Pane e Dolci

There are two things that make Pane e Dolci and Caffe Zibetto different from other pastry shops. First, they are the only “out of the way” pastry shop in the city because they’re located at 8th and 21st Streets in Nazareth, a virtual side street, away from busy malls and Divisoria.

And yet you’ll find people flocking to this place regularly because – and this brings us to the second concept – they offer pastries and other sweets you won’t find in the city, especially their famous Sylvannas that’s fast becoming a popular pastry and pasalubong fare in the city.

Pair their pastries with their Cafe Zibetto and your day is truly made.
Their coffee is also the only one of its kind offered in the city. Perhaps this is why their store’s main concept is centered on their tagline, “take a break from the ordinary.”
Vjandep Pastel and Pastry Shop

Originally located along Tiano Bros. Street, this small pastel pastry pasalubong is now the only pastry shop in Cagayan de Oro with its own 3-storey building. This building is now Vjandep Pastry’s main headquarters that houses their production factory, pasalubong center, a café, and residence for transients. Their pastel bun pastry that now comes in different flavors is still a homemade delicacy favorite among Cagayanons and more are now sitting down daily in their café just to savor this delight, aside from the pastel being a pasalubong for travelers and tourists. They are located along C.M. Recto Highway in Bulua just after the crossroads going to the West Side Bus Terminal.
Sweet House Pastry School

Topping this list is the most unique concept anyone can ever come up with. Their sweets are to die for!

The Sweet House Pastry School has already garnered numerous awards and medals from prominent culinary competitions such as the annual Kumbira Food Festival.
The interiors will also remind you of the sweet house in the fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel. They are located at the corner of J.R. Borja and Tiano Bros. Streets.
