JP Makes & Bakes, a new bakery and eatery in Detroit’s New Center district, sells coffee and scratch-made Filipino treats such as ube cookies — owner/baker Jonathan Peregrino’s signature take on the classic purple yam-based pastry — plus breakfast and lunch foods. Amid its soft opening hours, the restaurant will be operational this Saturday (Oct. 19) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., running a breakfast bowl special with chicken logansia (a Filipino fresh sausage) over biscuits and eggs, according to a post on its Instagram. Peregrino was a competitor on Season 7 of the Food Network’s Holiday Baking Championship; and has been a pastry chef in notable Detroit kitchens including those of Warda Patisserie, Tapped Coffee, Oak & Reel, and Le Supreme.
