"Don’t leave town without trying the addictive silvanas (cookies filled with buttercream) or a slice of cake from this long-term bakery (1977)."

Feliciano Rodriguez

"The silvanas are an absolute must-try—irresistible frozen buttercream sandwiched between two cashew-meringue wafers. Chocolate and other variants are also available."

Penda Penn

"I'm not a big fan of sweets (not counting chocolates) but the Silvanas really awakened my sweet tooth, like some deranged dental physician."

Renz Kristofer Cheng

"Normally, I don't enjoy silvannas, but this is an ultimate exception! There's a memorable crunch as you take a bite, and the taste of the icing and filling was something you won't get tired of easily. The sweetness is not overwhelming, so you can really focus on the goodness!"

Lynne Esguerra

"While not much in terms of layers, all the buttery and cashew nut goodness is sandwiched between some crunchy-chewy meringue. The crunchiness is experienced when the Silvanas are fresh out of the refrigerator."

Christian Lucas Sangoyo

"We were so impressed we even brought home a few boxes of their Silvanas."

Geoffrey Ledesma

"Sweet, creamy silvanas with a taste that I can definitely describe as heavenly. The first bite will give you a little bit of crunch, but you’ll eventually discover that the powdery crust is also chewy with a hint of nutty flavor."

Jojo Ayson

"Personally, I have never tasted Silvanas as creamy as theirs before, I fell in love at first bite, and the taste got even better as I came near to my last."
