Dear Joe Valencia — Restaurant in Lapu-Lapu

We tried this place because it’s near our subdivision. The atmosphere was great! Plenty of parking space. The food was a bit pricey. I wouldn’t mind the price if the food was super good but it was just average. Do not buy the philly cheesesteak sandwich. It was so salty! The black pepper beef was also on a saltier side and the portion was so small for its price. My wife had to order tuna melt because she was still hungry 😅. My kids had the carbonara and it was pretty good. Not tavolata good but it did the job. As for their coffee, I went with what they recommended since the only coffee I ever like is a caramel macchiato, which they don’t have. We got the iced caphe suada? Not sure if that’s their house coffee because I’ve never heard of it. It was a bit too strong for me, but my wife liked it because she likes her coffee with a kick. All in all I wouldn’t mind coming back here because of it’s ambiance, and also try their other dishes and coffee. Maybe I will give a better...

3/5 Food I think it's kinda pricey for its portion. Beef Tapa has a very small serving for almost ₱395. It also tasted bland.

Chicharrones Chorizo was served with small chunks of crispy kawali on top and tiny bits of chorizo. I am not a fan of its taste - too sweet and tangy bc of the tomato I guess? It's hard to appreciate the chorizo.

Cold Brew White could be improved. I'd rate this 2/5, not too strong and tasted like regular iced latte.

Mango Watermelon was okay, it has a fizzy taste to it.

5/5 Ambiance Despite the food not meeting my expectations, the ambiance makes our experience atleast enjoyable. There's ample seating and lots of greenery in every corner of the cafe, which makes it aesthetically-pleasing.

Although it might be a bit tricky to go here. At first we thought we got lost because we were inside a subdivision. However, there are plenty of tricycles right outside the place and can take you to the...

Staff - They had an ongoing promo for sinulog when we went there. The promo didn't reflect on the POS and it took quite some time for them to figure out what to do (manual receipt).

Food - Serving size was toooo little for the price! Not worth it at all. The food were served right away it almost feels like they were just reheated minus the fact that it wasn't hot when they were served. We ordered their truffle chips - too greasy! The oil would pool in your mouth. The chips were almost translucent so you could definitely tell there was too much oil! No vegan food options.

Drinks - We ordered their matcha latte and it was good! Their sorbet though, was not a sorbet - it was a milkshake.

Atmosphere - very nice interiors, wish the 2nd floor's aircon was on, we would have dined there. Many seats with low tables for...
