The Kamuning Bakery Cafe is a historic bakery in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines.
History
Javier management
The Kamuning Bakery was established by Marcelo Javier and Leticia Bonifacio in 1939. Businessman Alejandro Roces who was an associate of Manuel L. Quezon convinced Bonifacio to set up a branch of Los Baños Bakery of Manila in the then-newly incorporated Quezon City. Instead a bakery under a different brand was set up.
Operation was disrupted during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines of World War II. Marcelo Javier were among the casualties of war. When the war ended, Leticia Bonifacio continued operating the bakery. Her son, Teddy Javier took over the bakery and was delivering bread to New Frontier, South Supermarket and KFC outlets in Manila. The Javiers tried to keep the bakery operational until in 2013 when they decided to sell the property occupied by the bakery.
Flores management
In December 2013, the bakery was bought by newspaper columnist Wilson Lee Flores and the facilities underwent renovation for much of 2014. In October 2014, the bakery was awarded the Manuel L. Quezon Gawad Parangal Award by the Quezon City government under Herbert Bautista.
