Baguio pasalubong at a glance

“Long” means weeks to months while sealed, depending on the product. Always check the packaging and follow the storage instructions.

The list: what to buy in Baguio

1. Ube jam by Good Shepherd

The best-known Baguio pasalubong. The one most people ask for is made by the Good Shepherd Sisters’ Mountain Maid Training Center. Their store near Mines View Park and their Good Shepherd Cafe at Porta Vaga Mall, beside Baguio Cathedral, are options for buying it. Jars pack easily and make a safe gift for titas and lolas.

2. Strawberries

Strawberries are Benguet’s signature fruit. Fresh ones are at their peak around February to March, and you can pick your own at the La Trinidad strawberry farms when picking is available. Strawberry jam and other strawberry products are sold all year. Buy fresh strawberries on your last day.

3. Cream puffs by Victoria Bakery

A Baguio favorite on Mabini Street, Victoria Bakery also has a store along Loan Road. The cream puffs are light, filled with cream, and not too sweet. Flavors include original, chocolate, ube, buko pandan, and matcha. Buy them by the box for sharing, and go early because popular flavors can sell out.

4. Fudgy brownies by Laleliloo

Rich, fudgy, and individually packed, our brownies are made for pasalubong. They keep for 14 days without a fridge, so they can survive the long ride home, and they’re easy to hand out at the office. Choose from Original, Salted Dark, S’mores, and Special Dark, or get an assorted box so everyone can try a little of each.

Our burnt Basque cheesecake is just as good! It needs refrigeration, so enjoy it while you’re in Baguio or bring a cooler for the trip. Pre-order your brownies for pickup in San Luis Village or delivery anywhere in Baguio City.

5. Chocolate truffles by Ricci

For chocolate lovers, Ricci’s truffles at SM City Baguio make an easy, gift-ready pasalubong. Keep them out of the sun and away from hot car windows on the ride home. Check the packaging for specific storage instructions and shelf life.

6. Chona’s Delight by Tea House

A long-time local favorite from Tea House on Session Road, Chona’s Delight is a chilled cake served in a tub. It needs refrigeration, so bring a cooler or buy it on your last day if you’re traveling far.

7. Muffins by Valley Bread

Valley Bread is a long-running Baguio bakery. Its muffins are an easy grab for breakfast at home or a light pasalubong for the family. You’ll find them at local grocery stores around the city or at the Valley Bread Café on Magsaysay Avenue.

8. Black kutsinta by Tita Lea’s

A darker take on the classic kakanin, Tita Lea’s black kutsinta is a merienda favorite and something you won’t find in every province. Get it at their store on Session Road, across from Baguio Cathedral, or at their branch on Marcos Highway before the Petron station.

9. Choco flakes and peanut brittle by Mikasan’s

Two of the cheapest crowd-pleasers you can bring home. Mikasan’s choco flakes and peanut brittle come sealed in tubs and jars, travel well, and are convenient for sharing. Find them at the public market and in local souvenir shops. Check the label for shelf life.

10. Baguio longganisa by Alabanza

Baguio longganisa comes in two main styles: sweet (hamonado) and garlicky (recado). Alabanza is a go-to for many locals, and you can look for it at the Baguio City Public Market. Bring a cooler for the ride and refrigerate or freeze it as soon as you get home.

11. Local coffee: Kape Umali or Garcia’s

The Cordillera has a rich coffee-growing tradition, and Kape Umali and Garcia’s are two names to look for. Beans and ground coffee travel well when properly sealed, and a bag makes a thoughtful gift for the coffee drinker at home.

12. Baguio vegetables

Baguio and Benguet are often called the country’s salad bowl. Potatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli are popular choices to bring home. Buy them on your last day and keep them in a ventilated bag rather than sealed plastic. Avoid leaving them in a hot vehicle for long periods.
