The Workshop: A Bespoke Bakery by Chefs Miko Aspiras and Kristine Lotilla

If there's one thing I cannot live without it would be rice and bread. No matter how I tried to skip it, I just can't. Nowadays, a lot of bakeries are offering pretty and delicious pastries. Not only that they tastes better, even the look are really pretty you would not want to touch it. Just like the pastries offered at The Workshop. It's a bespoke bakery by Chefs Miko Aspiras and Kristine Lotilla located inside Le Petit Soufflé in Mega Fashion Hall. A bakery par excellence, Workshop’s creations are made fresh daily, with the finest ingredients and crafted by skilled patissiers and bakers.

Rising culinary stars Chef Miko Aspiras and Chef Kristine Lotilla have made it their mission to elevate the Filipino dessert experience. Located within the Le Petit Soufflé restaurant in the Mega Fashion Hall is their latest offering to the Metro Manila food scene - the Workshop Bespoke Bakery.

A workshop is a space brimming with possibilities. It is a place where people hunker down to create, experiment, and labor with much dedication and love. This is what this new bespoke bakery is for the two young chefs.

Each one armed with a background in hotels, the two wanted to go beyond the usual cupcakes, brownies, and cakes and prove that Filipino talent is capable of so much more than your run-of-the-mill desserts.

“All of our offerings are made of the finest ingredients, crafted with technique and precision. We give painstaking attention to detail, flavors, and quality. Each creation speaks of our team’s dedication to the art of desserts,” explains Chef Kristine. 

The chefs are committed to educating and training each member of their staff, sharing their knowledge of the technique required to produce high quality pastries. Customers can expect unusual menu items such as the Matcha Canelé, the Guava Cheese Tart, artisanal Valrhona chocolate bars, and decadent Entremets - treats you would be hard pressed to find in just any restaurant. And the best part is that the chefs are more than willing to customize desserts for hopeful customers, using all of the favors, techniques, and inspirations they have gathered from their travels.

The Workshop is where fancy meets fun and avant garde. Your potluck dessert contribution will never be the same. Have you been to the Workshop Bespoke Bakery or Le Petit Souffle?
