Banapple Pies & Cheesecakes - Bakery Café & Comfort Food in Quezon City
Discover Banapple Pies & Cheesecakes - a beloved bakery café in Quezon City famous for banoffee pie, cheesecakes, comfort food, and cozy dining. Multiple locations across Metro Manila.
Banapple Pies & Cheesecakes is a well-known bakery café and comfort food restaurant popular for its desserts and hearty meals, with multiple locations across Metro Manila and beyond. What started from a small home kitchen in Quezon City has grown into a beloved local food brand that's become a go-to destination for freshly-baked pies, cheesecakes, and comforting meals.
The name Banapple comes from two of their early hit desserts—the banoffee pie and the apple caramel crumble pie. Founded by a couple who began baking for friends and restaurants, they later opened their first shop on Katipunan Avenue in Quezon City, and over time expanded into a small chain with several branches in malls and key neighborhoods throughout Metro Manila.
Banapple branches are casual sit-down places where you can enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, desserts, and coffee with family or friends. Known for a homey vibe and comfort-food atmosphere, Banapple has built a reputation for good food and cozy dining across multiple locations.
