Crumbs and Grubs’ Strawberry Croissant
Price: P550 for a box of three
Although a lot of bakeries have been going the doughnut route, Crumbs and Grubs takes inspiration from a more breakfast-friendly type of bread: the croissant. The pastry shop makes the drool-worthy Strawberry Croissant with each piece consisting of a large buttery croissant packed with fresh, juicy strawberries from Baguio. The filling also includes a generous slather of homemade strawberry preserves made with Palawan honey. According to Crumbs and Grubs, it’s only available for a limited time, so make sure you sample it before it’s taken off the menu.
Order the Strawberry Croissant in advance via the Crumbs and Grubs website or Facebook.
Claudine’s Sweet Selections’ Japanese Fruit Sandwich
Price: P580 for a box of four
The fruit “sando” by Claudine’s Sweet Selections is one’s more of a traditional sandwich than the other items on this list—albeit sweeter and more dessert-like than your usual savory sandwich. In this best-selling snack-slash-dessert, two slices of soft, airy Japanese milk bread are stuffed with fresh fruits and whipped cream. The strawberry variant is a fan favorite, especially for berry lovers, but kiwi, orange, and mixed fruit flavors are available, too.

Gram Pancakes’ Strawberry Filled Sandwich
Price: P655 for a box of four
Gram Pancakes bucks the strawberry-filled doughnut trend and goes for their own take on it with the pancake shop’s Strawberry Filled Sandwich—and it’s sooo good! Instead of bread, Gram places a generous mass of fresh strawberries between their signature soufflé pancakes. Lighter than most other strawberry sandwiches, the sweet treat is a must-try, whether you’re eating it as a snack or a dessert.
