Colette���s is an institution, as far as native sweets and buko pies are concerned. Their stores are dotted all across Luzon, especially in tourist-heavy places like Tagaytay. Colette���s buko pie business began, maximizing the abundance of coconuts in Laguna. However, Collete���s was the first to experiment with various versions of buko pie. It introduced macapuno pie (made from a special strain of coconut that is sticky and thick) and ube-macapuno pie (a combination of macapuno and purple yam), among others.
