Really adorable cafe. It has a bit of a country porch feel or mom and pop type of store, but trendy.
Since recently discovering Yelp hit the Philippines after returning 7 months down the line. Me and some family ventured out here to check out Ted's. My cousin had mentioned the food being very good albeit a bit pricier than local fair. Of course, that was true, but we agreed quality was there.
We tried a few of their shakes-- Mango Peach, Apple Basil, Mandarin Lime, the BBQ chicken pizza, bacon cheddar fries, the seafood puttanesca, and Ted's linguine.
The shakes that have fruit in their names don't seem to have milk in them and are more like finely blended slushies. A really amazing treat to escape from all the heat. I thought the apple basil and mandarin lime were the better of the 3 we got since they seemed more refreshing. The peach made the mango shake a lot heavier in comparison. For the apple basil, you can really taste the basil, but it didn't seem too overpowering, however, I'm unsure if I could drink the entire thing. The Mandarin Lime was really refreshing though.
Ted's Linguine - Creamy as advertised. All the pastas seem to come with a bread stick too. Not much to really say. It was overall, really good and a great safe choice if you want pasta but not feeling adventurous.
Seafood Puttanesca - Probably my favorite. Came with mussels and shrimp with bread. The sauce was a nice flavor and seasoned well.
BBQ Chicken Pizza - Also really good, but much more like a flat bread and not very pizza like. Definitely think flat bread. It came with a pile of cabbage like greens as garnish and was nicely cooked. Though at the end we were questioning if it had any chicken in it as none of us could recall ever tasting the chicken. The sauce had a really nice smokey flavor though.
Bacon Cheddar Fries - Very standard fries with bits of fried bacon crumbled with a drizzling of cheese. It was very tidy.
I'd definitely be happy to return to try more off their menu or just to keep in mind of a place with very good drinks. They also have coffee and cakes so I imagine they'd make a nice sit in coffee shop too. read more
