Purple Oven at Sacred Heart

I’ll let you in a secret: Starbucks get their pastries from Purple Oven.  And the good thing is, Purple Oven just opened shop across the National Shrine of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, hence, the name Purple Oven at Sacred Heart.

I love this little dine-in area where you can try their freshly-baked products with a cup of warm coffee:

The popular Banoffee Pie at Starbucks is available here in its pie-size glory:

And also the Pistachio Stardust Cake…

And AJ’s favorite: Starbucks’ Donuts (although their version is smaller)

We also found ourselves drooling over these goodies at Purple Oven:

I know you’re curious about the price of the pastries there.  They’re cheaper than Starbucks of course, but then again, you won’t get Starbucks coffee here, hehe.

We bought a half-box of their Food for the Gods (Very good! Ideal gift for those with sweet tooth), a piece of their Sugar-Glazed Donut (to see if it tastes exactly like the one at Starbucks hehe) and a piece of their Chorizo Roll (a bit salty, according to AJ).

So whenever we’re craving for some Starbucks meal at home, we can just drop by Purple Oven at Sacred Heart and then make our Starbucks coffee with Starbucks Via Ready Brew coffee sachet.  =)
