The French Baker — Restaurant in Santa Rosa

While I wouldn't normally associate this with a patisserie, due to the lack of many French delicacies that I've relished in the past, but it does have Croissants and Danish pastries, though I would love to see Eclairs there, or some of the other wonderful products typical of French bakeries. However, it does serve a variety of bread products and even a couple of Filipino products, though I can't recall the name right now. To be edited later. I don't mean to put it down at all, in fact I buy some stuff from there every time I shop there. The croissants are quite nice, selling like most of the specialty items around 86 or 88 pisos a piece.

Came here around 9am and there were no customers yet. I ordered hot cafe mocha and carbonara while my husband ordered hot americano and hickory spare ribs.

The Carbonara is good too but was not able to finish it cause there's something in it na "nakakaumay" not sure if it has eggs but I can taste eggs in it, not the traditional Filipino style carbonara which is just cream. Overall, I love it and will definitely comeback.
