Nic`s Business Profile

Business Profile
Company Background
NIC's started as a commissary established by Maggie and
Rina Go in 2001. Nicole is the name of Rina’s first daughter after
which the company was named. The single mom sought to
create a business she could pass on to her children.
Specialties such as classic desserts borne out of
homemade, family tested recipes gave them the confidence
to offer their products. Maggie provided the first recipes she
kept from the 70’s which were popular amongst her peers and
family. Hence the ingredients are neither commercial nor
compromised. Placing customer satisfaction the priority fresh
produce, and tested recipes are used to ensure quality taste
and aesthetics.
The company primarily provided Desserts and Breads to
coffee shops, restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and food-chains at
wholesale prices. Specific food items such as Pastas and Rice
meals were also developed to suit the client’s needs.
NIC’s has also participated in "by invitation only" food halls
and bazaars. Its wide acceptability for products such as the
Brownie Walnut Cluster, Parmesan Ensaymada, and Lasagna
showed a need for high quality food that was easy to stock on
and reheat. This continuous encouragement led the owners to
come up with its first retail outlet NIC’S. The showcase would
provide them a platform to strut hip unique products like
Parmesan Wheat Crisps, and the Dip-n-Toss line of bottled
sauces.
NIC’s Gourmet Desserts opened in 172 A. Mabini, San Juan in
June 2011. Its interiors broke out from the usual country home feel
to a modern clean simple European type patisserie where desserts
are presented in an artful manner. It specializes in providing
customers the quick sweet fix they need easy to take out. The
customer with a busy lifestyle need not worry about a sudden
occasion where they need party platters.
Convenience
to
clients is what NIC’s
provides. With no time
on hand, one can just
drop by without having
to worry about sudden
meetings, parties, gettogethers.

with traveled taste buds
wanting to talk about it.
Bottled smoked milkfish
with either tomato &

Wish We Had Dinner At Nic's
Gourmet Desserts, San Juan City,
Philippines Erato
Nic's Gourmet Desserts on Mabini St., San Juan City, Philippines was a savory
revelation one evening as we were looking for a place to have after-dinner
coffee. Nic's well lit interiors was a veritable haven in the generally dark Mabini
Street. As we ordered coffee and hot chocolate, we were coaxed into trying out
their best seller, Peach Walnut Torte. It was delicious, not cloyingly sweet with
the light creamy filling blending well with generous peach slices. They surely
did not stint on walnuts as the torte burst with crunch, crisp and sweet all at
the same time. It truly deserved to be called the "Best Dessert" last December
2012 by the Manila Daily Inquirer. But the surprise of the evening was their
expanded menu which now includes soups, salads, pasta dishes, dips and
crisps, and wine. I should have known they don't just carry desserts and
pastries. They even boast of hot breakfast platters and roast dishes. Going by
the delectable dessert that we had, the meals must be great. Oh well, we'll try
them out next time.
Management and staff at Nic's are gracious and friendly -- we had very good
service in fact. Special thanks to Manager Joy Guinita, and Nicole Velarde.
Mabini St. is the route to Greenhills coming from Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong
City. You may very well miss Nic's because it is a bit recessed from the road.
The best landmark is the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP), also on
Mabini Street. If you already reached PUP, you just missed Nic's. But believe me,
it's worth turning back for.
