Smacked right in the middle of the ground floor of the Midtown Wing at Robinson's Place Manila, this gelato and coffee shop is hard to miss. If not for it's location, the stall's bright red and black design will surely catch your eye. The first time I saw this cafe, I thought it was serving Chinese sweet delicacies. Something about the big umbrellas and the overall aesthetics of the place scream Asian. I almost scratched my head when I learned that they offer Italian gelato, coffee, and thin-crust pizzas.
At first, I was hesitant to try their offerings. But when I saw their purple yam flavored gelato, my feet and palate connived to get me to the counter. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen a gelato shop in the Metro that offers my favorite flavor. I must admit I'm partial to purple yam so I'd say I loved the ice cream, more so when I learned that my order only cost PHP 60.00 for a cup.
If you decide to try this cafe be sure to sit on the chairs with backrest. The cushioned stools were nice to look at, but they sure were not comfortable. My butt kept on slipping off the stool every time I moved. read more
