Glad to have the chance to try this when I was on holiday in the Philippines…read more Location is inside Molito where parking can be a huge hassle but since I got there right before 7am, it was easy to find parking. Loved the interiors of the place and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Happy to know that they offer soy milk too! I got a soy milk latte that was prepared well and they didn't rush preparing the coffee. Coffee itself was roasted well and not too acidic. Will go back again when I'm in town.

This place didn't suck. Reasonable quality. Acceptable taste. Coffee taste ok Nice place.read more

If you crave for quiet time, which you can't get in mainstream cafés, Carpe Diem is the perfect…read moreplace for you. They have a sufficient amount of plugs for your gadgets and free wi-fi - just what you need for your me time or study time. Aside from this, the café also serves great coffee and food. If you're coming with a big group just be sure to patient enough 'cos it may take awhile before they serve your orders. When I first dined here, I wasn't expecting much 'cos I've never heard that much about their food. Surprisingly, I loved their Chicken Teriyaki Rice. It has the right amount of sweetness and there's a generous amount of chicken. It reminds me of the Takaw Rice in Charbroiled. The café is a bit small so I won't recommend it for big groups.

Having experienced living in BF for a couple of years, what I really love about this village is…read morethat it has a little bit of everything from outside its own bubble that it leaves you with very little excuse to venture out into the world (except for, you know, going to work/school). Even if it's a bit of arts and culture you're craving, BF's got you covered, too. Artists Haven Gallery and Cafe is along Aguirre Avenue, the subdivisions' main road known also as a foodie destination in itself. From the outside it does seem really small, like what might be just another gallery.. perhaps a room and some paintings. Little did I know that it's truly like a "haven" for artists--spacious and beautifully designed interiors, a well-curated collection of paintings and sculptures, and they have a cafe too! It's a place that anyone would really be inspired to create in, or if you'd simply want to forget that you're in BF for a while, this is the place to go to "rejuvenate" your soul... or something. They also offer art workshops for kids and adults, too! If you're not much into the arts, don't walk away, they have a charming cafe for you. The dishes are named after painters! Though for vegetarians/vegans, there are only a few veggie options: just soups and salads, for which you'd have to still request to remove ingredients X, Y and Z from, just ask). I tried one of their best sellers, Crispy Suman con Tsokolate (you can request for dairy to be omitted), which is a good choice for a light merienda. I was able to chat with the owner of a place, and news is that they're coming up with regular events that involve live music and wine!

This is a charming homey restaurant in Westgate. I brought a friend here for dessert. She has…read morenever been here. My friend ordered strawberry shortcrepe and was disappointed that the strawberry was a jam rather than fresh ones. Even then, the jam was minuscule. Instead, it had plenty of strawberry syrup. She liked the crepe itself and thought the strawberry ice cream was delicious. I ordered the Pinay crepe that had plenty of fresh mangoes and chocolate syrup. It did not come with ice cream so I ordered chocolate ice cream as a supplement. I enjoyed every bite because the crepe was warm and the right amount of supple. Surprisingly, it was not too sweet. Hubby ordered the mango crepe with Grand Marnier and coffee ice cream. He enjoyed it. Coming here every time we come to the Philippines has become our tradition. It is comfort food and the service is always excellent.

Also, price hasn't increased that much which is great and service has always been attentive. They serve their crepes on their signature blue and white plates and the interiors haven't changed much too. I always request them to make my crepe a bit crunchy to have more texture. Their coffee and their burgers are good too. Overall happy that this place is still doing well and that they've maintained consistency over the years.

First we the chocolate lava cake pumped with chocolate, as demonstrated by one of the staff and decorated with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and plated with chocolate syrup. Chocolatey good with the ice cream pairing well for the sweet situation, which is balanced. The Toblerone Cake is just so good in a creamy way. The rich chocolate moose is just beyond expectations, crust is just right for a satisfying filling and solid bite. Ambience is simple with some accents that add value to the experience, like the few games on display for play. Overall a good place to have a brewed coffee or a sweet meal ender.

I should…read moresample their coffee one time though, but I end up getting my favorite Barley drink here every single visit. Yes, barley! Flavored with pandan! For those unfamiliar to this drink, it's a translucent, whitish drink that's a bit thick, with soft, chewy barley grains. I have no idea where to buy this or how to make it, and I've only been able to get it at Kopi Roti and a few vegetarian/vegan places in Binondo. It's amazing how this drink can both be refreshing and filling at the same time--and this explains why I don't feel like I need to order anything else when at Kopi Roti, because the barley drink doubles as a snack! P.S. If anyone can point me to the direction of where I can get a barley drink that I can prepare at home, that would be amazing!
