Patco Social Pop Up!
In this Balikbayan Box...
Our first social with the very special Patco Cafe and it’s MATCHA THEMED!
To celebrate Patco’s 4th anniversary on Saturday September 14, we will be dropping a very Matcha Balikbayan Box! Here’s what’s included:
Matcha Calamansi Buns (x1) - Maritozzi buns filled with calamansi curd topped with matcha cream and dusted with powdered sugar.
Matcha & Ube Sugar Cookies (inspired by matcha ube latte) (x2) - Your favourite things in one cookie. Half matcha and half ube so double the goodness.
Matcha pandan brownies (x1) - Brownies made with single origin dark chocolate from Chachalate and a background flavour of pandan (instead of vanilla) and dotted with matcha cream cheese.
Uji Matcha Basque cheesecake slice (x1) - Rich and creamy Uji matcha basque cheesecake. This decadent treat blends the velvety smoothness of traditional Basque cheesecake with the deep, earthy flavours of Uji matcha.
Matcha Pineapple Bun (x1) - Matcha “Pineapple” Bun (Matcha Bo Luo Bao) - Our version of the popular chinese bakery classic - the pineapple bun. Milk bread-based bun topped with a matcha crackly, crunchy cookie topping (think concha or craquelin), filled with matcha custard.
We will be taking pre-orders for our matcha drop as we will only have a limited menu for the social! We had a lot of fun creating this menu so we hope you guys can grab a box!
PICKUPS will be at the social (246 Harbord Street) from 12-4pm.
PS you don’t need to attend to pre-order a box. However, the event is free to attend so please check out the link on Patco Cafe's instagram bio for more details!

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.
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.
We're so excited to bake for you!

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

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.
