It was a slice of chocolate cake that started the story of our Comfort Kitchen & Bakery. Chef Baba Ibazeta-Benedicto began her culinary journey with Classic Confections. Following the success of her award-winning Nono’s Chocolate Oblivion, named after her father, Chef Baba opened the doors of the first Nono’s store in UP Town Center, offering a range of comfort food favorites from different cuisines.
Now with stores in and outside Metro Manila, we continue to offer our guests an excellent selection of comfort food, guaranteed to be the highlight of celebrations. For us, special memories with loved ones go hand in hand with only the best comfort food and excellent service.
“Nono’s is a personal journey into my childhood and home. As I began to dream of a restaurant and what type of food I would want to serve, I was deeply drawn to, and inspired by, my favorite home-cooked childhood meals and snacks. Comfort food is simple. It is heartwarming. It is nourishing. It is home. It is full of happy memories with loved ones. It is food we come back to again and again. For me, it is sharing pepitos with my lolo for merienda, gathering around the table for a hearty breakfast with my family, or savoring hot, cheesy mac n’ cheese on a rainy day.”
