LE VAIN 231 Korean Bakery Cafe

Learning there's a new outlet at outlook drive, we dropped by after our walk with a friend. It's just 10 minutes or even less walk from Mansion House. The smell of freshly baked products is so tempting as soon as you step inside. We had coffee, freshly made that is. And had their ham & chiz toast and bacon pizza roll. It was just right for late breakfast. We were served by very courteous and attentive staff. We intend to visit again and try their sandwich and salad corner. Their prices are reasonable and the place is so cozy .

This Korean bakery in Baguio is located beside El Union Coffee. We bought some bread there during our visit to the cafe next door. We also went back the day after to take home some bread before we left Baguio. They sell good coffee bread.

The pastries and cakes are decent, and the drinks are enjoyable as well. The cakes are beautifully presented, though they’re a bit on the pricey side.

I didn't expect that strawberry latte was such a good drink. I ordered it without ice so it’s not fully provided, but it still tasted great, not too sweet. The red velvet cake is also pretty and delicious, I’d like to try more pieces of cake if I can stay longer. There are many kind of breads served from the bakery, they offered pasta and sandwiches as well. It’s my favorite cafe during my travels for 4 days.

In a word: DELICIOUS ... every bit. Fabulous bakery and cozy comfort food place. Near Mansion House and many other tourist spots in Baguio but place is in a secluded, quiet area. Spartan and clean. Nice that it has some outdoor seating. Pricey but ingredients are top quality.

I found Le Vain 231 Korean Bakery Café through TikTok and decided to check it out. The place is super cute—just like the cozy cafes you see in Korean or Japanese dramas. Their pastry and cake displays were so pretty, I wanted to try everything. I had a slice of their strawberry cake—light, airy, and creamy—and a glass of iced tea. Simple, but satisfying. I’m not sure if my order did the place justice, but I’ll definitely be back to try more!

They offer bread and baked goodies to enjoy eating while experiencing the cold weather in the city of pines. Best to go in the morning to have a taste of their bread, pastries and other items on their menu. Also have a good sip of their brewed coffee ...

The place is quiet and spacious, making it comfortable enough to accommodate a good number of customers. The price is reasonable, especially considering that it’s in Baguio. The cake and coffee are okay—nothing extraordinary, but still enjoyable. Serving sizes are also decent. The only challenge is accessibility if you’re commuting, as it’s quite far from the city center. We took a jeepney (₱13) with a signboard going to Mines View Park, got off at Wright Park, and walked for about a kilometer to reach the place.
