The recent opening of Baker J at Crimson Hotel Filinvest City, Manila, is a most welcome addition to the metro's food scene down south adapting to changing consumer habits in the new normal.

As a special treat to residents of Muntinlupa City, Baker J offers free delivery for orders that total or exceed P 1,500. Packed and sealed in a box, each order is also individually wrapped following the health and safety protocols in the new normal.
Nothing beats a savory sandwich for a light, healthy and satisfying meal anytime and Baker J's Prosciutto & Manchego Tartine (P 480) tastes as good as it looks. Topped with layers of premium prosciutto, sharp Manchego cheese and fresh arugula on a slice of sourdough draped with creamy butter, the Prosciutto & Manchego Tartine delivers fresh yet bold flavors with every bite.
The mildly salty notes of the prosciutto are complemented by the deep, nutty flavors of Manchego followed by the distinct hints of arugula and finished by the rich butter slathered sourdough bread. The best and freshest ingredients brings all the flavors, making this tartine a light yet sumptuous meal option at home or at work.
Freshness is flavor, and a closer look at the premium ingredients followed by a bite is more than enough validation. For your peace of mind, Baker J's tartine offerings are individually packed and sealed in a box to guarantee its freshness.
Baker J clearly has a winner with their savory Prosciutto & Manchego Tartine. Other savory options include the Smoked Salmon Tartine (P 480) and Croque Monsieur (P 450).
An iconic staple of French bakeries and patisseries, Baker J's own version of the Croissant (P 120) follows tradition with its intricate and delicately folded layers of crisp, flaky buttery dough. A complex process of tediously rolling and folding layers of yeast-leavened dough draped in rich butter multiple times goes behind each croissant resulting in its unique and contrasting textures. Soft yet dense almost like a puff pastry with a lightly crisp outer layer, the croissant is the benchmark of the classic Viennoiserie capped by its indulgent buttery notes.
A good croissant and a cup of coffee always sets the tone for the rest of your day. A light, leisurely breakfast or an afternoon bite, there's just something about a warm, buttery croissant that elevates ordinary mornings or any time of day. Baker J's croissant is quite large, promising a hearty breakfast paired with freshly brewed coffee at home. And you get it fresh from the ovens of Baker J.
Starting another day in the new normal is just so much better with a warm croissant. Other Viennoiserie style offerings from Baker J include their Pain Au Chocolate (P 120) and Pain Au Raisin (P 120), each one prepared with the same lamination process as their specialty croissant.
But the ovens of Baker J still has so much more to offer like this Herb Focaccia (P 250), a traditional Italian bread. Unlike the usual variety, Baker J's version is much taller allowing one to experience and enjoy the soft almost cake-like yet dense texture of the bread. The prominent notes of fresh herbs give it a richness in flavor that's great on its own or paired with savory dishes.
A tall slice makes for a satisfying snack. Just like Baker J's other baked offerings, it's the clean and fresh notes and soft yet dense texture of the Herb Focaccia that makes it an essential for the home pantry adding a comforting and reassuring vibe in these challenging times. Other artisan bread offerings from Baker J include the French Baguette (P 70), the Mixed Seeds Loaf (P 120) and Dried Fruits and Nuts Loaf (P 120).
Sourdough fans will be pleased to know that Baker J also offers this specialty artisan bread. The Country Sourdough (P 180) is Baker J's healthier spin on a classic without the use of yeast, milk, eggs, oils or sweeteners. But all the familiar notes of your favorite sourdough come through with every bite. Like all sourdough bread, Baker J follows a tedious fermentation process in preparing their fresh batch of sourdough. The fermentation process also breaks down gluten to make it more digestible than regular bread. With all the known health benefits of sourdough, having a slice or two is good for you. And staying healthy with healthy options in a pandemic makes a whole lot of sense.
Baker J's Country Sourdough is impressive in both size and weight. But the proof of the pudding is always that first bite...
Simply warm it up in the oven or toaster and add a generous dab of butter. The crisp, crusty sourdough brings subtle hints of sourness and mildly nutty notes perfectly finished by the creamy butter. You don't lose any of the familiar sourdough flavors despite not having any yeast, milk, eggs, oils or sweeteners.
The Country Sourdough by Baker J is masterfully executed and crafted, from its dense texture to its rich flavors. For those residing in the south of the metro, Baker J is your source of fine artisan bread, conveniently delivered to your home or office fresh from their ovens. A fresh-baked slice of sourdough with a cup of coffee in the comfort of your home just brings good vibes to any table.
From their range of pound cakes, Baker J's soft and moist Blueberry Bread (P 230) is yet another tempting offering perfect for quarantine afternoons at home. The vibrant tartness of blueberries adds a unique and zesty finish to the bread followed by just a whisper of sweetness, now that's guaranteed to brighten up another cloudy day in the quarantine. In an indulgent mood? Try Baker J's Pecan Pie (good to know that there's finally a good source of Pecan Pie in the metro), Calamansi Matcha, Choco Royale, Dulce de Leche Cheesecake, Red Pearl or Mango Graham.
Craving for an afternoon snack? Baker J's Pain Au Raisin (P 120) should do the trick. Light, flaky and delicately crisp with rich buttery notes kicked up by sweet raisins, the Pain Au Raisin brings both textural contrasts and flavor with each bite.
The intricate layers of buttery laminated yeast-leavened dough gives the Pain Au Raisin a delicate crispness followed by indulgent notes from the butter and raisins. The wide variety of fresh baked offerings are made available to you daily by Baker J. That's like having an authentic French patisserie and boulangerie right next to your home, delivered with just one call or message on Facebook and Instagram.
