The Pastry Corner at B Hotel Quezon City completes the flavorful quartet of culinary delights weaving its own sweet tapestry of pure indulgence alongside the four-star boutique hotel property's other outlets namely the Lobby Café (more on my post, Let's Do Lunch. And Breakfast Too. At The Lobby Cafe in B Hotel Quezon City), Mezzanine Bar and Johnny's Steak and Grill (see my post, From The Grill To Your Plate at Johnny's Steak and Grill in B Hotel Quezon City).
The Specialty Beverages at the Pastry Corner is the perfect way to get acquainted with the wide array of offerings and slowly ease you in to that much deserved indulgence for the day...
...but if you prefer a classic cup of coffee, the Pastry Corner's list of hot coffee creations from Espresso, Cappuccino, Caramel Macchiato and Café Mocha to Americano should do the trick.
Pair your hot or iced beverage with the fresh-baked specialties of Executive Sous Chef Lucylee Vitug, the genius behind the inventive line of Ensaimadas in Classic, Ube, Leche Flan, Salted Egg, Red Velvet and Lotus flavors that have become instant favorites. Executive Chef Vincent Odejar and Executive Sous Chef Lucylee Vitug team up for some of Quezon City's sweet temptations showcased daily with a fresh-baked batch at the Pastry Corner.
From oven-fresh tarts like the Banana Walnut Tarts...
...to Assorted Fruit Tarts (P 100), the Pastry Corner at B Hotel Quezon City has just what you need for that quick sugar fix in a tasty bite. Open from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm daily, it's never too early nor too late to sneak in that sweet indulgence at B Hotel Quezon City.
Did you say cheesecake? The Pastry Corner's new Basque Cheesecake (P 850 Medium/P 350 Small) offers cheesy decadence in a light, airy and soufflé-like form with that burnt caramelized top concentrated with intense flavor.
Still can't decide what to get at the Pastry Corner? Start with a soothing beverage like the Peanut Butter Espresso (P 220) with sweet caramel, milk and peanut butter rounded out by the deep notes of espresso.
The luscious and sweet creamy finish are perfectly tempered by the espresso for balanced flavors, with the peanut butter adding that fun and nostalgic vibe with each sip. This one's high on my list of personal picks at the Pastry Corner.
The Ube Vanilla Cream (P 220) brings comfortingly familiar local flavors to brighten up your afternoon...
...while the Cookie Mocha (P 220) with its blend of chocolate, milk, cookies and espresso brings textural contrasts from the cookie bits into play in another luscious dessert enjoyed with a sip. The Matcha Affogato and Triple Berry Cheesecake round up your options of Specialty Beverages at the Pastry Corner.
A few more sips and you're ready to pair your beverage with one of many specialties from the Pastry Corner...
...like their batch of fresh-baked cookies with Chocolate Chip, Double Chocolate and Red Velvet as some of the options.
You've probably heard and seen it on the net, and the hype is absolutely real. The Lotus Ensaimada topped with a layer of the famous Belgian cookie adding a unique weave of subtle cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger hints to the classic local staple is a brilliant pairing. The buttery and sweet ensaimada is transformed for a new flavor experience. And the inventive combo works. Other equally unique ensaimada options include Classic, Ube, Leche Flan, Salted Egg and Red Velvet.
A spot of tea? The Pastry Corner also offers Afternoon Tea Sets with tiers of intricate sweet and savory nibbles for memorable afternoons at B Hotel Quezon City.

At the bottom tier, enjoy tasty bites of grilled skewered shrimps along with savory tarts...
...as you move up to the second tier with its open-faced sandwiches including the traditional cucumber sandwich...
...before moving up to the top tier with sweet fruit tarts, a pair of Lamingtons and scones as the finale. With seating for twenty diners, the Pastry Corner is a cozy spot for an intimate dining experience. For much larger groups, you can conveniently enjoy your afternoon tea just a few steps away at the elegantly spacious Lobby Café.
