Papa Kim's Korean Bakery (Antipolo)

A Korean bakery in Philippines is still a new concept to us. Samgyupsal restaurants are already around the metro for years now, but a bakery where they sell Korean pastries and desserts is like an answered prayer. For sure, it’s not just us who became envious of how our favorite Korean drama couples would eat on coffee shops and bakeries on some scenes us watches.

Fret not because Papa Kim’s Korean Bakery is here to give you a taste of Korea’s pastries and desserts.

We visited their Antipolo branch. It’s easy to go to because it’s just along Sumulong Highway. You’ll instantly see the big picture of BTS in front of their store and a wide space for parking.

The place looks very neat and spacious. The flowers and vines displayed above the ceiling make the space looks magical. The natural lights coming from the wide glass windows gives more charm to the place. Their wooden chairs and tables compliment the overall design of the store.

They served us quite a lot, so we tasted most of the food they have in their menu. Aside from pastries and desserts, they also serve Korean meals with a twist, just like their bulgogi sandwich. They also let us taste their Creamy Shrimp Pesto Pasta which is also delicious and not dry, unlike some of the others that we tried before.

They also have a selection of drinks; from fruit flavored juices to their frappes, you’ll never run out of choices for the few times you’ll be back. We recommend their lemon juice!

We also love Mango Graham Delight and their blueberry bingsu! We think we became super hyperactive because of the sweets we had at that time.

Their pastries are also very tasty. You’d know that it’s baked fresh!

Their price range is very reasonable for the taste and serving. Their staffs are very polite and approachable. They made sure that we got everything we need and always asks us if there’s anything we need.

We stayed there for a few hours as we savor the food and the ambiance of the place. You can see at the glass windows the small houses below. Imagine seeing them at night, with glittery and flickering lights? We know you’d love it!

The place starts to gain more customers at around 3pm. The other staffs also arrived. They are open until 11pm so for the working girls and guys, you still have a lot of time to visit them!

You can also check their other branches in Banawe, Tomas Morato and Ayala the 30^th.
