Bag of Beans

Top choice in Around Manila


Dine among hanging angel's trumpets, begonias and other exotic flowering plants on the garden patio of this superb bakery-restaurant specialising in English-style pies, breakfasts, quality coffee and scrumptious desserts. It’s 6.5km west of the rotunda. There are two other equally inviting branches (Athena and Charito) on the highway closer to the rotunda.
