Whether you love classic artisan loaves or unique flavors, these spots are baking sourdough bread that you’ll definitely want to bring home.
If there’s one thing my mom and I will never say no to, it’s a good loaf of sourdough. It’s a shared obsession of ours between weekend grocery runs and slow breakfasts at home, and it’s easy to see why. After all, it wields its contrasting characteristics well, with its soft, chewy, slightly tangy interior resting within a crackly, golden crust—a combination that keeps you coming back for more, whether slathered with butter, dipped in olive oil, or piled high with sandwich fillings. It’s no surprise that sourdough has become a bakery staple. Behind every loaf is days of careful fermentation, giving it a depth of flavor that’s hard to replicate. If you’ve been craving sourdough that’s well worth the carbs, here are the best bakeries in Metro Manila to get your fix from.

Sourdough Cafe
It would be sacrilegious to leave Sourdough Cafe out of a list like this. While I admittedly keep coming back for their unlimited sangria, the bread is every bit as worthy of the hype. True to its name, the café serves beautifully baked sourdough loaves with a crisp crust and chewy interior that are perfect for taking home. With branches in Makati, Quezon City, and Alabang, it’s one of the easiest places to get your bread from.
Baby Hands Bakes by GDP
Proof that great bread doesn’t need a massive bakery, Baby Hands Bakes by GDP started as a home-based passion project and has since sold more than 500 loaves. Every bake is made with care, resulting in consistently flavorful sourdough that’s worth planning your week around. If you’re ordering for the first time, grab the chocolate chip loaf for something sweet, or the everything bagel and cheddar loaf if you’re in the mood for something playfully savory.
Scratch
Known by many for its stacked sandwiches, Scratch deserves just as much recognition for the bread behind them. Their freshly baked sourdough loaves have a light, airy crumb and beautifully crisp crust, making them just as good on their own as they are in a sandwich. Pick up a loaf to recreate their favorites at home, or simply toast a slice, add butter, and call it breakfast.

If you’re after classic artisan baking, Lartizan is a reliable stop. Their naturally fermented sourdough is baked fresh with an emphasis on quality ingredients and traditional techniques, resulting in loaves with a deep, tangy flavor and satisfying chew.

Baked fresh daily in Pasig, each loaf celebrates slow fermentation and craftsmanship, delivering the signature tang and chewy texture that sourdough lovers seek. It’s a neighborhood favorite that’s worth making a trip for.
