Welcome to Bakerrae
We're a micro bakery and cafe that specializes in Filipino-inspired baked goods and coffee.
By nurse and baker, Rae.
My Story
Hi, I'm Rae!
I started Bakerrae while working full time as a COVID test nurse.
After long shifts, baking became my escape and the part of the day that felt creative again.
I’ve always wanted to open up my own cafe, and bakery popups was a step towards this dream.
After years of popups, we finally found a home for Bakerrae in Toronto's East Chinatown.
The flavours and inspiration come from my childhood. I use classic and modern French techniques, with a Filipino flair.
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 diverse, but I felt something was missing.
At Bakerrae, you'll find croissants with calamansi curd. You'll find savoury toppings like caramelized onion and mushroom adobo. You will always find flavours made with care, memory, and a little surprise.
My Journey So Far
-
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!
