In this Balikbayan Box...

Psssst! We’re back for another pop-up with the Brick Room! 🎉

In honor of their one-year anniversary (and with a nod to Taylor Swift playing nearby 🎶), we’re bringing back your favorite Bakerrae treats – this time, each inspired by a classic T-Swift song! From “Ube-long with me” Basque cheesecake to “Teardrops on my choux”, we’ve crafted desserts to match the Swiftie vibes.

Come celebrate, grab a treat, and join us in saying cheers to amazing coffee, memories, and a year of the Brick Room!

Each box will include:

(x1) Ube-long with me Basque Cheesecake - Sweet (but not too sweet) and delicate Filipino Ube (purple sweet potato) infused in a rich coconut cream to make a smooth and creamy basque cheesecake.

(x1) Should’ve Said Brownie - Our brownies are made using only the best dark chocolate from Chachalate! It’s crackly and soft, and will probably become your next favourite brownie ;) 

(x1) Back To Chocolate Cookie - Rich dark chocolate from Chachalate elevates our cookies, with a perfect chewy center and crisp edges. 

(x1) Teardrop on My Choux - Our popular choux filled with our house-made calamansi curd and topped with a torched meringue (shaped like a teardrop!)

(x1) Wildest Dreams Carrot Cake - Our take on the classic carrot cake but infusing the batter with our ube halaya, making it extra moist, and topping it with an ube cream cheese frosting. This is the pairing you didn’t know you needed!

We recommend pre-ordering your Balikbayan Box to secure your goods as we’ll only have a limited amount available for walk-in!

Hi! I'm Rae.

We're a micro bakery and cafe that specializes in Filipino-inspired baked goods and coffee.

By nurse and baker, Rae.

My Story

I am Rhea Abayan, owner of Bakerrae, a bakery in Toronto. I started this business while working full time as a COVID test nurse during the pandemic.

Combatting COVID fatigue, baking was my creative escape. I’ve always wanted to open up my own cafe and opening this bakery was a step towards this dream.

I make Filipino-inspired baked goods and coffee all from scratch and have been popping up around the city for the last three years.

Woman-run. Hand-made. Asian flavours.

Bakerrae is a personal journey to Filipino flavours — drawing upon my childhood with a twist.

Toronto's food scene is seeing many pandemic pivots, but Bakerrae aims to explore new ground: you won't find anyone else topping croissant-like pastries with calamansi curd or caramelized onions in soy sauce anywhere else.

  • As you can imagine, working as a nurse during the pandemic (and even now) hasn’t been the easiest. Working on Bakerrae has allowed to me to be excited for work again. Actually, it has never really felt like “work”, which is what I love. And I hope to do more of what I love.

  • On Saturday, August 12 2023 Bakerrae x Chachalate storefront was born. Together with my boyfriend Ry - owner of Chachalate - we are sharing new and familiar flavours with my baked goods and his chocolates.

  • Since opening we've had so many amazing opportunities to share our stories on Breakfast Television, Omni Philippines, CBC Metro Morning and Blogto!

Thoughtfully made in small batches. From scratch.

This bakery is a physical manifestation of both my passions - creating and baking.

It’s a space where I can grow and create products that I love, and know you will love too!

I am inspired by my Filipino culture and childhood memories, and I want to share these unique flavours with you.

We're so excited to bake for you!

FAQ

Do you offer any vegan or gluten free options?

Unfortunately, we do not offer this at the shop at this time.

How long can I keep my baked goods?

Our baked goods are best eaten the day of! However they can keep in an airtight container for up to 1-2 days in the fridge or can be frozen.

How should I re-heat my baked goods?

You can re-heat your baked goods in 30 second intervals in the microwave or oven. Just enough to warm up the buns without melting the fillings.
