How Filipino Breads Are Made Fresh Every Morning in this Traditional Bakery in Quezon

Freshly baked Pinoy bread is a nostalgic part of every Filipino’s childhood-the morning aroma, the softness in each bite, and the priceless moments shared with family. We are still in Quezon Province, and we are in the heart of Tayabas Bakery’s operations to learn more about their history and production process.
This local favorite has been making bread for the town since 1944 and has remained to be one of the most successful bakeries in Tayabas. Their head baker, Mario, has been around for 20 years, making their iconic “Bonete” bread and other favorites like pandesal, pan de regla, pan de coco, and many more.

Content like this is really underrated in YT especially to our Filipino audience, it makes me appreciate the little things in life such as bread and how lucky we are to get products made by our bakers. Thanks for the great video as always!

[@melodywagner9939]

kasi nga karamihan sa pinoy manonood mas gusto PRANK VLOG ng mga influencer tapos million views....

[@Christianp121978]

LITTLE THING?

[@Rhon-bv8vu]

true❤

[@Carolf1213]

We cannot generalize. We just need to have mindful content to grow mindful audiences.

[@jamirkuhn5206]

mga walang kwenta gusto nila panoorin dapat wala kang matututunan para madaming views

[@ting.8252]

nakakaiyak, it hits different ngaun na nsa 30s na ako. natrigger ung childhood memory ko na napakasimple lang ng buhay noon. bata na excited sumama sa pagbili ng pandesal sa umaga.

[@alaaa1794]

Galing!

[@user-td2uk3of7b]

Grabe no? This is a luxury nowadays

[@esperanzaduran1572]

Lalo na kapag ofw ka, sobrang nakakamiss yung pandesal at kape sa umaga. There's no place like home talaga.🥹🥺

[@dexterquilang2247]

It's a shame but most pinoys find this type of content boring. Kaya nakakalungkot lang, this should have millions of views.

[@penfirwell]

Tara bili tayo pandecoco at kababayan.

[@luluscrooge3891]

Idk why seeing trays of bread makes me wanna cry lmao. I think it reminds me of my childhood, back to the years when I truly believe life was simpler and happier. As always, great video from FEATR!

[@utmocanimations4136]

Fax, I miss my childhood there too

[@arieldanez4500]

Tayabas Bakery is a legend and icon in Tayabas. I remember tagging along with my Tatay Nato every morning at 6am to switch off the street lights in Tayabas and we never failed to buy our pandesal and bonete from this bakery located at Tayabas kalye mayor. Tatay Nato is already 85yeras old and still a fan of this panaderia. Trivia... Tayabas Bakery is the very first bakery that supplied our "Nutri Bun" way back my elementary days. Thanks for featuring Tayabas -genuine Tayabense here from Dubai

[@marissamaravilla9931]

tama po kayo , taga dyn ako masarp ang pianono pinag ong bunite,🙏👍

[@alicia3108]

Paborito ko ang bonete ❤️👌😊

[@alfiemarie]

"ang buhay namin ay siguro parang tinapay na aming produkto, nagsimulang maliit, kung sa tinapay ay umaalsa, kami naman ay umuunlad" OKAAY MAKATA!!! but seriously, that sounded so beautiful.

[@xadnblu]

Freshly cooked pandesal is what I love about mornings growing up. Where did my life led me to losing this?

[@niceguymusic3009]

Kahit saang city naman may fresh pandesal sa umaga .

[@PacificParadise1972]

[@kjh4878]

Try to bake your own. It's not that hard actually. You will love it. I learn to bake from KZbin and hoping 1 day I can have my own bakery😊

[@jhonrolanddamiano1827]

This is what I like about family businesses, they bring family values and culture to the community. 👍🏻

[@leechrec]

True. Neighborhood business are so integral to the fabric of society.

[@rubengillette5069]

Dude, I love your documentary-real life storys here. I'm from Canada 🇨🇦. And love watching them. I put them in my favorite to watch over and over. Been to the Philippines 🇵🇭 off and on for the last 10 years love it there. Keep the good work up folks I mean it

[@rubengillette5069]

Thanks once again, they are so fricken awesome

[@featrmedia]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@AngryKittens]

In rural areas when I was younger. Bakeries from bigger towns often sell their goods by liaising with local sari-sari stores in outlying baranggays. Including our family's. They'd distribute the classics every few days, like munggo bread, monay, binangkal, etc. and then come back and take the unsold bread to be remade into bread pudding for kalihim (which we called "pie", locally), etc. and restock the rest. The bakery delivery guy would be on a motorcycle with two huge "skylab" boxes attached on the back filled with bread. We didn't actually have a bakery in our little baranggay until I was already in my teens. We could only get fresh pan de sal on sundays when we went to the nearest town for church. Helping out sometimes at our sari-sari store is how I learned the names of different bread types. I have fond childhood memories of various types of local breads and biscuits that we'd have for merienda. Saludo ako sa nagtataguyod ng mga traditional breads natin.

[@returndates7166]

Thanks for sharing!! This was very insightful. Your memories sound warm.

[@scottsummers4234]

This! May sari sari store kami dati at ganyan ang sistema ng pagdeliver ng tinapay na ititinda namin

[@ianne2004]

Good luck on supporting Ukraine. Americans are tired of the goverment taking our hard earned money (taxes) to send weapons to Ukraine.

[@bryghian]

waking up at 5am with my mom cooking away in the kitchen, my dad getting ready for work. seeing a paperbag full of pandesal in the kitchen table, mug and chocodrink ready for me to enjoy while we wait for the breakfast... makes my heart so full with love and joy, thank you featr for this heartwarming documentary

[@kenjorielenterina7657]

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako naiiyak habang pinapanood ko itong video na to. Siguro nga dahil sa komplekado ng buhay natin habang tayo ay natanda, minsan naaalala natin kung gaano ka simple ng buhay noon nong tayo ay bata pa and watching videos like this makes me want to go back to those times. Thank you for sharing this warm video 💚

[@Ver0_Cat]

Another heartwarming feature from FEATR that gives viewers nostalgia. I live in Switzerland (near France) where bread is life, but I will always prefer the pandesal over all the items in the boulangeries here. Back then, my grandparents had a little pension house in Makati and it was bustling in the main house where they prepared daily breakfast for the guests there. I remember hot pandesal every morning with cooked meats, eggs, garlic fried rice and sliced ripe mangoes wafting in the air. In my other grandparents' house in Quezon City, I remember watching my aunts and uncles dunking their pandesals in their coffee, which I thought was so cool. Sweet snippets of the past will always live in my memory.

[@featrmedia]

Thanks for watching!

[@maverickjudd]

There is something about watching bakers produce their bread that is so satisfying. I think about the local bakery that we have here and how often I watch them knead the bread and the smell of freshly baked bread right off the oven. I love pandesal in the morning,

[@jpeex]

The art of baking.

[@lollettealipe9363]

How wonderful that the 3rd generation is continuing the business, just like in the Japanese culture. This is inspiring to see family members working for the family business. The bakers are highly skilled too. Please feature more businesses like this. I miss buying bread that are placed inside a supot (brown paper bag) and sealed with a twist of the hands.😊

[@e_breezy4868]

On behalf of all Quezonians, specially in my hometown Tayabas, Thank you for showcasing our small yet underated city❤❤❤ It's the first time that somebody has highlighted our local cuisine, lifestyle and tradition at this level for everybody to see aswell to explore. Now if everytime I'll be asked where i come from, im showing them this Quezon series. Thank you very much FEATR❤❤ proud tayabasin from New Zealand🇳🇿🇳🇿🙌🙌

[@denrylluna]

Nakakaiyak marinig ang boses ni Lolo 🥹. Maririnig mo ang dedication, history, at ang mahal nya sa bakery at pamilya! God Bless ang bakery mo Lo 🙏🏽♥️. Shout out FEATR for an amazing video- galing nyo 👏👏👏

[@poyieee]

Sabi ko di ko alam bat ako naiiyak, baka nga sa boses ni Lolo. 🥲

[@Eli-mu4uy]

Easily one of my favourite videos on youtube, everything about this is beautiful & so nostalgic for me. Namiss ko bigla Pinas. Namimiss ko yung amoy ng tinapay sa umaga, yung ingay ng mga kapitbahay, sina manong taho, namiss ko sigawan ng mga bata sa kalye, namiss ko inuman ng mga tambay sa kalsada, namiss ko yung usok ng barbecue tuwing gabi, yung tawanan hanggang madaling araw. Sarap balikan. Salamat dito.

[@Lakshmigoddess827]

Ito ang aking lahi! Taus-pusong pasasalamat po sa inyong produksyon at mananatiling buhay ang dugong Pilipino sa mundo ng makabagong sining. Saludo ako sa tanyag nyong paglilingkod sa ating Bayan, at higit sa mga Pilipino. Philippines 🇵🇭

[@rainnmn]

Super galiing 👏🫡 And nakakagutom yung shot ng mga tinapay 🥹

[@featrmedia]

🥹 🥹

[@newbie6377]

ang ganda din ng pagkaluto. perfect n perfect. magkano kaya yan kada isa? hindi maliit pandesal nila eh

[@nicoleangelanunez6423]

i like watching docuseries ni erwann tsaka yung kay Kara David during my free time. reminds me of how simple life is.

[@stelfacundo6683]

I really like your format... you highlight the work they do. You allow them to share their story in their own words. The music is subtle and subdued-- highlighting the sounds created in a bakeshop. Please continue to promote local restaurants, bakery, and the local food of the provinces in this format...😊❤

[@marieltamaray]

Breads like pandesal will always be a staple to Filipinos. Watching this made me feel nostalgic as it brings back fond memories from my childhood. Thank you for this Featr! Your contents never fail to show the dedication and craftmanship of our kababayans.

[@delbertjuban1700]

My mom used to manage a bakery in the province and watching this video brings back so many memories. Aside from selling bake goods in the bakery, we also deliver “balot” baked goods in local sari sari stores. I used to join my mother in delivering baked goods since I enjoy sight seeing different sari sari store in different baranggays. Hayss 😢😢

[@pinkchrisking]

Glad to see something nostalgic being passed on. Hope it continues for generations to come. More power to the family.

[@ssuperhaek]

Bakeries and bread is dear to my heart. I grew up eating different kinds of bread because of my mom. She is a home baker and she loves baking every sort of bread. When she mastered pandesal, never na kami bumili sa labas! But pandesal from local bakeries still hits different. ❤ It’s has always been her dream to establish a bakery. She’s retired but Nag jojoke pa nga siya minsan that she bet she can work in a bakery and still love every second of it. Thanks for the video featr! Love content like this. Super nostalgic 👏

[@jeremiahm_8626]

My childhood was like this!!! Going to the bakery and eating fresh pandesal early in the morning! A simple life back then is where its at! Nothing cant beat that feeling 🇵🇭❤️

[@jantrishayacaba3929]

My go to panaderia in Tayabas. Always love the taste of Bonete and pandesal. When I work as an OFW these two breads are the ones that I'm always craving for 😊

[@utmocanimations4136]

I remembered my Dad everyday, after his work in office. He'd always have a bag of pandesal at hand. Despite all the things we had for dinner, this was one of the most memorable ones... it justs hits different

[@Rod.Machado]

Masarap talaga tinapay jan, yan ang go to panaderia ko pag nasa tayabas ako.

[@Mossbeehave]

Keeping the tradition alive ❤

[@maryjaycena1593]

Lumaki ako sa amoy ng pandesal, sa craftmanship ng mga panadero, sa init ng oven. Grabe yung nostalgia, yung background is sako sakong harina, pala pang hango ng naluto na na tinapay, yung tunog ng makina. Dati masang kamay pa lahat yan. Buti nakakatulong na ang teknolohiya para mapadali

[@jhoyros1073]

I miss philippines even more after watching this. Walang katulad ang ating pandesal. Ang sarap balikan ang mga simpleng buhay lalo sa probinsya na pandesal lang sa umaga sapat at masaya na. 🥹

[@zitanada1449]

You will know that the breads are good kapag mga oldies na ang nagbebake eh. It's just really hits different

[@Tactical_Boi]

Not gonna lie local bakeries makes the best simple bread ong

[@laramaytembrevilla7342]

This really hits my childhood core memories.We had 2 bakery neighbors and both families managing them are close to my family. The smell of freshly baked bread is very nostalgic. As a child I could freely wander around each bakery anytime. They'd always offer me free bread and cookies too. One baker even went above and beyond by making me a special bread every morning with fun shapes and sizes like Fish, Dog, Cats and many more. Some of the bakers are working part time before and are proud degree holders now as Teachers and Police Officers. Sadly, one of them closed and the house was abandoned, only one was left and is still being managed by the same family.❤

[@leandermendoza3429]

I want to go to this bakery when I visit the Philippines again. These are the businesses that deserve recognition as they are truly founded on Filipino tradition. Mabuhay po kayo dyan sa Tayabas Bakery!

[@sekreuzdeor2539]

grabe naiyak ako dun. kasi malaking bahagi ng buhay ng bawat Pilipino ang tinapay na galing sa mga local bakeries. karamihan sa mga Pilipino ay ito ang pantawid gutom. kasi una mura at abot kaya, pangalawa accessible sa lahat.

[@sikadcommuter6702]

Another quality content from FEATR. Kudos to the team.

[@DALMACIOJORENM]

Beautiful story. Beautiful editing. Beautiful people who love their business.

[@matutina882]

Ang sarap siguro sa pakiramdam yung may negosyo ka na at in a way nakakapagserbisyo ka sa mga kababayan mo, bilang sa pagbibigay ng maayos na panindang pagkain. ❤

[@ginetteg]

My Lola use to own a bakery in Culion, Palawan in the 40’s. She provided Pandesal to the Lepor colony. Having machinery makes it easier. Was in Coron & Kabankalan in Feb. would have pandesal almost every other day from the bakery fresh baked. Now I miss it.

[@franztvchannel28]

im chef bread here in japan pero gusto ko din matutunan ang pilipino style tlg ng pag gagawa… one day uuwi ako para lang mag aral ng pilipino style… ❤

[@smoodnotrough]

I grew up in that town! I remember going to that bakery with my parents a lot. Lots of good memories and great bread :))

[@melanarbs]

Love all the Quezon content!

[@ayeayecaptain9916]

Ganitong content ang deserve ng million views. Hindi yung mga toxic issue ng mga vlogger.

[@veraalysonsaguros3826]

Ganda ng series na 'to! Very underrated talaga ng Featr

[@cristianjetomo5884]

The authenticity of each scene, the cinematography, and the limited unnecessary conversations with the owner or people featured are what makes videos like this pure. It gives off a home-y narrative as it looks into the socio-cultural traditions of the Filipinos through food. Great work!

[@Carbinexis]

This kind of videos deserves more views kaysa sa mga walang kwentang video ng mga vloggers na puro issue lang sa pag ibig yung topic

[@marielgavlog]
