On Aug. 18, Ka Tunying celebrated its ninth year of bringing Filipino families together through its distinct Panlasang Makabayan offerings. Since opening its doors in 2015 on Visayas Avenue, Metro Manila, the establishment has expanded its reach, creating a legacy of offering traditional flavors with modern twists.
The journey began in 2004 with a small bakery in Nueva Ecija, originally named Tunying’s Kape, Tinapay, at Iba pa. This modest venture laid the foundation for what would become a well-loved brand among Filipino families. In 2016, Ka Tunying’s responded to growing customer demand by establishing kiosks and pop-up stores in airport terminals, making its signature tastes more accessible to travelers.
By 2018, the brand had evolved into a full-service restaurant, catering to a wider range of culinary preferences. In 2019, Ka Tunying’s launched its “Panlasang Makabayan” tagline, a homage to the rich, diverse flavors that are a hallmark of Filipino cuisine. The same year saw the opening of a branch in Tagaytay, offering a cozy retreat for those seeking comfort food in a cooler climate.
As the pandemic reshaped the world in 2020, Ka Tunying’s adapted by expanding into online sales and launching a reseller program focused on its Bakehouse products. The brand also increased its presence in retail outlets, ensuring continued access for loyal customers. In 2021, introducing the official mascot, Tonton, added a new layer of engagement with families nationwide. The following year, the company expanded into catering services, further enhancing its role in family gatherings and special occasions.
In 2024, Ka Tunying’s continues to grow, partnering with Uncle John’s, Dali, Victory Liner, Genesis Bus Liner, and various coffee shops across the country. The brand remains committed to its core value: fostering family connections through food.
“Ka Tunying’s aims to maintain its tradition of delivering quality service and food that embodies the warmth of home,” the brand shared in a statement.
