First introduced in 2017, Panaderya Toyo was conceived as a smaller yet equally significant extension of the much celebrated Toyo Eatery. It promoted the same communal spirit and cultural familiarity albeit in bread and pastry form.
In 2023, they closed the physical space quietly but still had some of its bakes served as pabaon for Toyo and Inato’s dinners and events.
Now, six years later, they revive the brand in a new location (just a stone’s throw away from the original), carrying with it the same neighborhood spirit but in a manner that feels a lot more intentional.
It’s not a reinvention, co-owner Jordy Navarra says, but a restart. “Since closing our old space, we knew we wanted to reopen it eventually, we just were on the lookout for the right spot. One opened up in Karrivin, and it felt like the perfect space, so we went for it.”
Panaderya Toyo Brings Back Its Cult-Favorite Bakes in a New Takeaway Space
Tucked along the driveway of Karrivin Plaza, Panaderya Toyo once operated as a sit-down shop slash bakery where guests could walk in and grab their favorite breads and pastries directly from the display shelves. It has since been reimagined into a quick-service take-away window, much like the layout of many age-old Filipino panaderias.
This structure is rooted more in habit, something that has long defined our local bakery culture. People drop by to see the day’s bakes, choose the ones they fancy, have them wrapped in a paper bag, then go on with their day. The charm is in this very routine that has been embedded seamlessly into the everyday life. At the new Panaderya Toyo, this sense of familiarity is more evident than ever before.
Potpot Pandesal, Leche Pan, and Bicho in tsoko, saba, and keso flavors, plus noontime options like the Kesong Puti Inipit and Egg Inipit—the classics make a comeback and will be joined by new items in the coming weeks. “Reintroducing Panaderya Toyo in 2026, we wanted to kick things off not with new things, but with staples that created the founding idea for Panaderya flavors. New things will be introduced for sure. Right now though, it’s about reintroducing the classics to both our former Panaderya regulars, and those that are trying our breads for the first time,” says Panaderya manager Paulo Achacoso.
Panaderya Toyo Pairs Its Signature Bakes With Thoughtfully Roasted Local Coffee
A selection of coffee is also on hand, completing the morning or afternoon tinapay-at-kape pairing. And though they use a blend of local beans, they’d like to send the message that their coffee is less about checking a geographical box and more about purposeful craft.
They continue to carry the beans of Yardstick (they’ve been working with them since the beginning of Toyo Eatery), but there’s a new addition to their roster.
“Most recently, we’ve been working closely with Tidow Gothong of Current Roasters, who we met and became friends with because he’s a Toyo Eatery and Inato regular. Because he has a deep understanding of what we do, Current created a roast specifically for Panaderya,” says Achacoso.
The Enduring Appeal of the Filipino Neighborhood Panaderia
There’s something enticing in the freedom panaderias offer. Along with a bag of baked goods comes the choice to enjoy them anytime, anywhere—and however you want them. And it’s for this reason why panaderias, Toyo’s included, continue to be a lasting part of the daily life of Filipinos.
Panaderya Toyo is located on the ground floor of Karrivin Studios at Karrivin Plaza, Makati City.
