Our Story
Don Joaquin started in 2014 as a simple dream to share the flavors of home. What began as a small kitchen has grown into a trusted Dumaguete favorite — still family-run, still made with the same care.
Every morning we prepare our kakanin, pastries, and bilao fresh. From cassava cake and puto cheese to fiesta trays for handaan, everything is crafted to bring families and friends together around the table.
We are proud to be an official DTI OTOP Nook, not only sharing our own creations but also supporting fellow local makers from across Negros Oriental. Our own products are made in our FDA-licensed kitchen; our partner products are made by their own producers. We have been featured in the Dumaguete MetroPost, we supply local supermarkets, and you can find us on GrabFood. When you visit us, you taste Dumaguete.
Whether it’s a simple craving or a big celebration, we’re here — fresh every day, ready when you need us.
