Coron Town Bakeries (Central Bakery, Coronthians, Julie's)

11° 59.9′ N · 120° 12.2′ E

A cluster of small Filipino bakeries in the market streets turns out pandesal at dawn plus sweet breads and cakes: the closest thing to a fresh-bread run in the Calamianes.

Practical

OpenStreetMap maps Central Bakery (this point) and Coronthians Cake House on Don Pedro Street (11.99771N 120.20326E), Julie's Bakery (national chain, formerly Julie's Bakeshop) on Real Street (11.99835N 120.20414E), an unnamed bakery next door on Real Street, and a Bakery and Store on Rosario Street (11.99824N 120.20296E). Go early morning for warm pandesal; stock up before heading west, as there are no bakeries documented in Busuanga Bay, Culion or Linapacan in the sources. Cash only is the safe assumption.
