My side trip in Lipa had to have a coffee shop visit. Not a coffee person here, but I like lounging in cafes because of its relaxing atmosphere. I came inside Cafe de Lipa and ordered their 'veinte' Iced Chocolate and their banana muffin (my go-to muffin, as always) straight away. And I was pleased with their creations.
Their iced chocolate was nice to taste, not too bitter and not to sweet. I was thankful because their iced choco drink wasn't something I'll get sick of drinking. And their banana muffin -- I recommend it. (I wasn't able to take a photo of it because I enjoyed eating it, sorry!) At the time I visited, their fridge was busted, but they were able to come up with my and everyone else's orders. Good job!
Also, I made another discovery: tablea brownies. That small chock-full was packed with nuts and real tablea chocolate. It was a bit bitter and is best paired with coffee. read more
