Sweet dreams are made of Dezaato Pan

MANILA, Philippines - Dentist’s advice be damned! Most of us wolf down sugary delights like there’s no tomorrow — or as if diabetes isn’t a potential threat to our health. Chocolate bars, brownies, pastries, cakes, and candies — these irresistible treats have been a great part of our daily food intake, whether they’re desserts, snacks or something to munch on to while away the idle hours.

Think of Dezaato Pan as the Honeydukes sweetshop in Harry Potter with all its wonderfully wild and magical sweets. But here’s the catch: They’re not as loaded in calories and sugar yet they’re as delicious as any sweet treats. Yes, you can enjoy Dezaato Pan’s huge selection of baked goodies, pastries, and desserts without guilt!

Dezaato Pan is a Japanese-inspired café, but it’s a 100-percent-local brand. Dezaato means dessert and pan means bread. Dezaato boasts 70 types of bread as well as artisan cakes. It’s the first in the country to offer five different food selections: coffee (they have their own blend), premium tea, artisan breads and pastries, and gelato.

Cool stuff: Dezaato specializes in sumptuous gelatos that have 35-percent less air so the consistency is much denser and the texture smoother.

Bestsellers include Cafe Americano and Matcha Tea Latte. Another must-try is their special gelato made fresh every day. It has 35-percent-less air so the consistency is much denser and the texture smoother, which makes for a more flavorful dessert.

Dezaato Pan’s artisan cakes and pastries are not to be missed, too. They’re elegantly presented, which makes them look even more delectable. These intricately garnished cakes ooze with flavor — it’s like a cascade of sweetness flowing over your taste buds.

With its aim to present Japanese culinary creativity and its take on globally recognized food with a twist, Dezaato Pan is an affordable alternative to ready-to-eat food that satisfies the tummy. Its spacious interiors make dining a real pleasure — probably something you’ll long remember after you’ve eaten one of Dezaato Pan’s delectable treats.

In a word, Dezaato is simply “pan-tastic”!
