Before you read further, let me be frank with you. I’m having some sweet cravings right now (blame it to my job as a freelance writer who stays up late at night) and it might be the main reason why I chose to feature this amazing cakeshop in Bacolod City. Just take a look at my photo above and I bet you are salivating right now. 🙂
Okay, let’s get down to business. If you are planning to take a trip and travel to Bacolod City, then include a visit to the city’s most popular cakeshop -Calea.
I don’t know what is behind the name but I’m pretty sure it’s the most famous stop to satisfy one’ craving with a slice ( I hope so ) of their melt-in-the-mouth cakes and pastries.
Whenever my family is in Bacolod, we never failed to drop by to Calea, the one beside L’Fisher Hotel. in Lacson Street ( Bacolod’s main street) There are now three branches in Bacolod City, one located in Robinsons Mall. My personal favorite is their ice cream cake and I am proud that I can finish it in less than 10 minutes.
What I love about their cakes is that they are really home-made style for a cheaper price. I bake cakes and Calea’s cakes are worth worshipping. I admire how they use the finest ingredients and never use other substitutes or extenders just to mass produce their cakes. Their ice cream cake for example, you can taste walnuts in between and I can easily detect if the cake is just filled with sugar. But no Calea’s.
The chocolate cake is not even that sweet and even guys ( who are usually not fond of sweets like cakes) won’t hesitate to try one. And when it is homemade, they usually cost more. But not Calea again. Cake slices cost not more than 100 pesos. During our last visit, we had two slices of ice cream cake and one slice of chocolate cake for only P240. Beat that!
Calea is one of the answers to where to eat in Bacolod. Drop by for an afternoon snack or for a dessert after a hearty meal in Bacolod’s restaurants. I will be visiting Calea in the near future and I would love to try their other cakes. As of now, I’m dreaming for trying their equally famous cheesecakes. I guess I have to stop now and end this post. I’m currently fighting sweet temptations. 🙂

wow!!!! 😀
Hope you can come to Calea’s one day.. 🙂
I always make Calea one of my stops whenever I am in Bacolod. A cup of coffee and a slice of cake is a must, and your trip to bacolod is complete!
Hi Ayeen! I agree! But I hate it when my hubby will not inform me that we’ll be going to Calea after eating. I (or we? 🙂 ) should eat less before our Cale trip.haha. What is your favorite flavor? I’m trying to eat all their cakes..haha.
thanks for dropping by ha? Take care! 🙂
calea’s cakes are the best..i’m from bacolod and before i left for dubai last summer, i really made it sure i ate all flavors of their cheesecakes. blueberry, fruity and white chocolate cheesecakes are the best..ice cream cakes like mud pies are must try too. and NEVER, EVER, EVER forget to try their famous IMPORTED CHOCOLATE CAKE — will leave you craving for more. and yes! all cake slices are sold in a cheap price but the BEST quality.:D
Thanks for your comment!! Oh, we really love their cakes!
I haven’t been to Bacolod, but my officemate whose husband just returned from his third trip in bacolod brought the chocolate cake. Funny thing is, upon seeing it, our other officemate matter-of-factly remarked it’s Calea. Thought it was just because it’s quite famous in Bacolod, but it’s actually because the owner is his aunt who happens to be first cousin of his mom 🙂 small world, right?
So I had a few mouthfuls of the chocolate cake and it’s really divine. You’re right, not too sweet, but the flavor packs a punch!
Oh, and to answer your question, Calea got its name from the owner’s two daughters, Carissa and Lean, if I’m not mistaken. I asked my officemate why it’s named as such. 🙂
Hi Kaye!

Hi Agnes,
I’m not associated with Calea’s, I’m one of their diners and as a blogger and travel writer, I share them to my readers. I can’t remember exactly how much, more or less 80 per slice? Well, price can be a determinant of quality right? I don’t find their cakes overpriced.
Thanks for reading and leaving a comment here Agnes..have a fantastic day!
