#Cafe Tiala#

Ever wonder how it feels to be treated like royals? Worry no more, for Cafe Tiala will let you experience how to be one. So set out a date with mah gurls and headed our way to the pink cafe.

Nestled on the 2nd floor of The Forum Building next to Grand Convention Center and Yummy Yo! Dressed up like maid greeted us like majesties. The decor allows the simplistic beauty of the food to really shine, though beauty isn't the only thing bringing folks to Cafe Tiala.

The cafe buzzed with excited energy and was comfortably full with seemingly satisfied patrons. We were fourth on the list and we waited for not less than 30 minutes to finally sit on our thrones. We were given this cute menu box and it really took us ages to order. :D Good thing their WiFi was a bit fast so I could easily connect to the social site. I had to commend  the maid (waitress) who served us for a job well done. ^___^

Isn't this the cutest???

#noona cafe#

Coffee shops are coming out like mushrooms nowadays, most of them are Korean-inspired. You will notice it by its cuteness, funkiness, and homeyness ~ making their customers feel relaxed as if you're just taking a break at home. It made me think that maybe they've learned to love our country.

Among the many coffee shops in the Metro, some of them are cafe maru, sunday 2pm, cafe caw, cafe noriter, cafe namoo, cafe tiala (just recently open), oppa cafe, gentlemen cafe, and Noona cafe (older sister). It's nestled near my Alma mater "Southwestern University".

Opt for a place to chill in after a late lunch and got to remember noona considering it was just a few meters away from the place where we stand. It was my first time and I have observed a lot of things that need improvements. I don't believe in first impression lasts but it does matter. At noona, they don't offer hot drinks at the moment though they have varieties of cold drinks to offer from blended, milk tea, cool aid and some snacks at a student's reach.

I tried their blended since Milk tea isn't really my cup of tea in the first place. I asked the attendant what would she recommend and I guessed she really is equipped with what the shop is famous for. She recommended the Chocolate Oreo blended. It was not that appealing to ones eyes and it gave me an Okay, good enough taste.

The place was of no difference from other Korean coffee shops, I've noticed that the stairs way up to their second deck is not customer-friendly, I'm afraid that one might slip going down. I asked the guard the shop's schedule though he answered but he was feeling unsure of his answer. Anyway, based on my research the shop is open everyday from 10 in the morning to 11 in the evening.

Hopefully, on my next visit I can already see some positive improvements.

#Sprockets#

Located in J Block Building along Apitong Street corner Escario Street. Sprockets Cafe is just beside Sweet Little Things and Taiwan Shabu-Shabu, the corner across Simply J's. Contact: 234-3304. Sprockets Cafe serves milk tea, coffee, desserts and great comfort food too!

Sprockets Café is a few meters away from Parklane Hotel in Escario. It is on the same compound as Sweet Little Things.

My colleagues planned another eat out at Sprockets Cafe. This cafe is not so easy to find especially for first timers. So refer to the map:

So busy taking pictures and forgot to take photos on the food. lol. But grabbed their menu from another site. These photos are mine :)

#Cafe Caw#

JUNE 23, 2013

A Sunday treat for admiration - Cafe Caw. 

Cafe Caw is located across Bright Academy in Banilad. They are open from Tuesday - Thursday from 11:00 am - 11:00 pm, Friday - Saturday at  11:00 am - 12:00 mn, and Sunday at 11:00 am - 10:00 pm. They also have free WiFi connection

They only accommodate a small number of customers. Most of their customers are students who'd like to study with their laptops, books, projects, etc.

Compared to other coffee shops I've been to, Cafe Caw isn't that full of post-it notes, books, and other cutie stuffs though it's also owned by a Korean national.

Good thing there weren't a lot of customers at that time or else I'm gonna be so frustrated since Cafe Maru is always full everytime I visit there. :( This is already the second time! G-R-R..R!

Anyway I ordered Iced toffee nut latte for 115.00 php.

Hurricane Potato at 60.00 php

These are their updated menu:

@ 110

My apologies for the low-res photos. I only used my phone to capture these..
