We’ve got sweet news to share—W Bakehouse was featured on Spot.ph’s “Top 10 Chocolate Chip Cookies in Metro Manila (2021 Edition)”, and we’re absolutely honored to be part of such a mouthwatering roundup.
What Spot.ph Had to Say
Here’s how Spot.ph described our Dark Chocolate Sourdough Cookies:
“W Bakehouse is primarily known for their sourdough breads, but their Dark Chocolate Sourdough Cookies (P500/box of six) deserve to be in the spotlight, too. These are distinct in that they’re made with a sourdough starter—fear not, this doesn’t actually make them taste sour, though it does contribute to what we think is a peculiar backbone (we’d describe it as subtly 'yeasty', in a good way) that balances out the cookie’s richness and sweetness (though overall, it isn’t too sweet).”
“The cookie base is ultra-chewy in a sturdy way, and is wonderfully gooey in the middle with a brown-butter depth. They made use of Auro Chocolate’s 55% dark chocolate, which has an earthy and robust flavor that really adds character to this cookie. It’s also got pretzels mixed in, which we wish were crisper, but add an interesting textural contrast nevertheless. Finally, there’s a sprinkling of sea salt, which ties all the other parts together.”
Why This Feature Matters
To be included in a list curated by Spot.ph—a go-to guide for Filipino food lovers—is a huge milestone for our humble bakehouse. We’ve always been passionate about pushing the boundaries of classic flavors, and this cookie is exactly that: a bold, buttery, beautifully balanced creation built on tradition, technique, and just a little bit of edge.
Our sourdough starter doesn’t just power our breads—it brings a unique, subtle complexity to our cookies that sets them apart. Add in Auro’s 55% dark chocolate, brown butter, pretzels, and flaky sea salt? You get layers of flavor and texture that make each bite memorable.
