๐Ÿฐ Baker’s Hill: Puerto Princesa’s Sweet Escape for Kids at Heart

"A mix of delicious pastries, quirky statues, and whimsical park vibes" 

On our way back from Mitra’s Ranch, we made a quick stop at the colorful and ever-popular Baker’s Hill—and let me tell you, this is not just a bakery anymore. If you love sweets and love taking photos even more, this place will make your day.

๐ŸŽก “It's like stepping into a mini theme park with pastries in your hand and Elvis in the background.”


๐Ÿง What to Expect at Baker’s Hill

Once a humble bakery, Baker’s Hill has grown into a tourist-friendly spot with:

  • ๐ŸŒณ A lovely themed garden and mini-park
  • ๐Ÿ‘— Statues of pop icons like Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe
  • ๐ŸŽข Cartoon-themed corners (Looney Tunes & Beverly Hills-inspired dรฉcor)
  • ๐Ÿฆš Peacocks that roam freely (we didn’t see one this time, but they’re famous here!)
๐Ÿ“ธ “My friend couldn’t resist imitating Marilyn Monroe’s pose for a fun photo-op!”

๐Ÿฌ Sweet Delicacies to Try

This is where your self-control will be tested. Baker’s Hill is famous for its delicious treats, so make sure to bring some cash (and willpower).
