My favorite flavors were the Mr. Green T and the Chocolate Caviar Strawberry. Their donuts are more on the dense side, but still flavorful and yummy. I also ordered the mango peach iced tea, which was refreshing. Overall, a great place for donuts!!!

My cousin took me here on my 2nd day being back in the Philippines. We were en route to Pampanga…read moreand I was craving for some caffeine mainly to alleviate my caffeine headache. I was very much surprised at how calm it was and it wasn't as packed as I've seen the mall since I landed. Upon walking in, the staff were really friendly and answered all my questions, mainly me asking if they had almond milk... unfortunately, they didn't so I kept on ordering espresso double shots everywhere we went. I ordered a double shot espresso and it came with a regular sugar donut. I also ordered a matcha green tea donut but I wasn't able to eat it b/c I was eating too many sweets after our time here. -------------- Then my family and I came here again when we were shopping for stuff to bring back home and we all needed a caffeine boost. The server that helped me out was working again and she greeted me b/c she remembered me... and it was really sweet of her. I bought the orange cup and saucer combo and the friendly server went beyond her call of duty and packed that cup and saucer thoroughly. I was really impressed and no cracks when I opened it back here. Overall, the main story: friendly staff and good donuts. Not too sweet but just right. If you have a sweet tooth... well worth checking out! To the management: well done on your staff being helpful and friendly.

If you ever travel to the Philippines and are a donut lover, you gotta try these. Their texture is…read moredifferent than your typical donut here in the US. The bread is light and airy and doesn't taste too oily. I feel like they put a bit more sugar in their yeast dough so the bread by itself is yummy. I've been traveling back and forth to the Philippines the last several years to visit my parents. Each time, this is one of the places I have to hit... Their donuts are yummy. The donut names have a fun twist to common Hollywood names. For example: Alcapone, Jacky Chunk, Avocado DiCaprio, Berry Spears, Blue Barrymore, Snow Ice, etc. I've tried all/most of them, but I forget all of them now. I'll list my favorites: Alcapone: It's a donut dipped in white chocolate and toasted almonds. Not too sweet and the toasted almonds give it a good balance. (4.5 stars) Caviar Chocolate: It's a donut dipped in hazelnut chocolate topped with chocolate crispies. The chocolate crispies are a fun texture. It's like biting into a donut Crunch bar. Caviar Strawberry: Same as Caviar Chocolate, except it's dipped in a strawberry white chocolate glaze. Yummers for the strawberry flavor lovers. The chocolate pairing makes it yummy yummy to the tummy! Mr Green Tea: Donut dipped in green tea chocolate with toasted almonds. If you like green tea, you'll like this one! I like getting the J. Pops because it's like bite size pieces. This is great if you want to sample different flavors without committing to all the calories. But damn...it's so dang hot in the Philippines and you'll probably do a lot of walking anyway, so "donut" let it bother you! #parumpum So try it, then message me to let me know how you like it. You're welcome...

Dunkin' Donuts has always been known for, well, their donuts. Through the years, they've come up…read morewith different flavours and types of donuts (I can never resist Munchkins), have ventured into sandwiches and also carry a variety of drinks to go with your donut. Admittedly, I have not tried out Dunkin Donut's sandwiches until very recently. To be honest, I actually only got to try it out this morning. Hahaha! I went to lunch at Dunkin Donuts' branch here at Buayang Bato in Mandaluyong City. I believe this is the donut magnate's official factory that's why this particular branch is larger than most other Dunkin Donut's. Entering the bakery, your noses get an assault of coffee and freshly baked donuts. Definitely NOT complaining! It's a welcome scent for someone who's been stuck in the office whole morning. The store offers a lot of different flavoured donuts. They even have a variety of flavoured Munchkins - ones I actually have not heard of (Jamocha Munckins, anyone?) Because Dunkin doesn't serve rice meals, I tried out one of their sandwiches instead. I ordered their Mushroom and Cheese in Brown Bread, and was very pleasantly surprised. The simple combination of mushrooms and cheese on brown bread is a delicious and filling lunch. For 75 pesos, I was very satisfied. On another note though, their coffee at this particular branch is pretty strong. Think barako coffee with a spoon of milk and a ton of ice. My friends didn't particularly love their caffeinated drinks so I guess you can order your cup of Joe at another café.

We usually get our favorite donuts such as the Choco Butternut and Butternut. This time we tried…read morethe Dunkin Yan since it looked fun to eat. It's eaten just like the Yan Yan snack found in grocery stores. Flavor is basically a glazed donut with chocolate around halfway until the bottom. It was just okay since it was really simple. With coffee, it probably wouldn't matter as much since you'd be mixing semi-sweet with some strong and bitter coffee.

Orbit donuts is this little stall that serves mini donuts. It's a pretty hidden place across…read moreManila, but plenty of people still drop by to get donuts day in and day out. Orbit Donuts has a very unique proposition compared to other donut shops: small munchkin-esque donuts, glazed with a powder of your choice. No toppings, no fillings. As a lover of the "plain donut," or basically, the plain glaze or sugar glaze of most donut places, Orbit Donuts is right up my alley. Their donuts are deep fried perfectly, getting to just the perfect golden brown that makes them smell absolutely amazing. The flavor powders they have are great: particularly their cinnamon and their sugar. If you want to try some more unique powders, I suggest the cheese powder. Really, you can't go wrong with a bag of orbit donuts for merienda or for sharing with friends. The untampered donut is a wondrous sight to behold.

Because really, who wouldn't want to eat these small, soft, fluffy delicious rings that can be made even more tasty with something as basic as sugar or something as fancy as cinnamon? Remember that famous ad from the 90s, with the tag line "once you pop, you can't stop"? That's exactly how I feel about Lil' Orbitz. It's just so delicious, I feel morose and get a bit sentimental when I dig into the bag and find that there are only few pieces left. Sometimes, I even tip the bag over just to get the rest of the flavoring so the taste can linger a bit longer in my mouth and my memory. Sounds a bit too much? Well, because I like Lil' Orbitz a tad bit too much, too.

But since it was a hot day and I felt like I needed to take a short break, I decided to drop by Black & White Garden Cafe. This is your typical coffee shop with no pretensions about what it is. You go in and have coffee and any light snack on their menu. Since the place is quite new -- only a few months in operation --the inside is quite clean, thank you. The aircon was also cool, which was great considering that it was one of those days when the temperature was expected to hit 40 degrees. I was the only customer when I came in, but a couple more entered when I was nearly done with my coffee. Since both the Elorde gym and the Black & White Garden Cafe are new businesses, they are still feeling their way. The coffee shop will be dependent on the gym for a good number of its future clients, so I guess there must be some synergistic relationship between the two. There's a security guard house just outside the coffee shop, so that has to add to the security aspect. Not too far off is the latest branch of Starbucks, but I have to surmise that this little coffee shop will not be competing with that giant. For quiet business meetings, Black & White could be a good place as it offers more privacy than Starbucks.
