Hey friends!

You’ve been asking, so here it is.

We’re teaming up with our friends Tiny’s General for a long-awaited pop-up— and we’re bringing back our Signature Basque Cheesecakes!

This special pop-up will feature a limited batch of our Basque cheesecakes (in your favourite flavours, of course), available only at Tiny’s General—so don’t miss out!

Our flavours for this drop include:

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

Chachalate Chocolate Ganache Basque Cheesecake - Two layered basque with perfect contrast: Madagascar vanilla triple creme basque on top of a layer of fruity single-origin chocolate ganache.

Hojicha Strawberry Basque Cheesecake - Rich and creamy hojicha (roasted green tea) basque cheesecake. This decadent treat blends the velvety smoothness of traditional Basque cheesecake with the deep, toasty flavours of hojicha with a hint of floral notes. We’re pairing it with fresh strawberries for a beautifully balanced sweet and roasty treat.

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 few 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.

I'm 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.
