Bakerrae x Chachalate

Bakerrae x Chachalate is a collaborative cafe and bakery located in East Chinatown, bringing together Rhea Abayan’s Filipino-inspired pastries and Ry Lee’s ethical, directly-sourced chocolate. The space serves as both a bakery and a chocolate factory, offering customers a view of the production process. The interior is designed with seating for approximately 30 guests, providing a dedicated spot to enjoy treats that blend traditional French techniques with nostalgic Filipino flavours. The partnership marks a return to a permanent brick-and-mortar location for both businesses, aiming to create a community-focused environment.

Visitors can expect a rotating menu that frequently features signature items such as cinnamon Rae rolls, ube-flavoured desserts, calamansi meringue cream puffs, and croissant cups with various Filipino-inspired fillings. The beverage program includes pandan lattes, calamansi espresso tonics, and hot chocolate made from Chachalate’s pure, ethical cocoa. The shop also offers a selection of cakes and chocolate bars. While the menu changes bi-weekly, the cafe is generally open Tuesday through Sunday. For those planning special events, the business provides options for catering and pre-orders, making it a versatile stop for both casual cafe visits and larger celebrations.
