Sandtrap Café by Culinary Adventures — Restaurant in Lipa

I'm absolutely thrilled to share my exceptional experience at Sandtrap Café! From the moment we stepped in, we were treated to an exceptional atmosphere that was both calming and visually stunning. The view was breathtaking, and the ambiance was perfect for a relaxing meal.

The service was top-notch – attentive, accommodating, and genuinely friendly. Our server was knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions, making sure we felt right at home.

But the real star of the show was the food! Oh, the food! We ordered a variety of dishes, and every single one was a winner. The bulalo was rich and flavorful, unlike any other I've had before. The sisig was still soft and delicious even when cold – impressive! The adobo was tender and perfectly cooked, while the pinakbet was a pleasant surprise – I don't usually enjoy it, but this was exceptional. And the carbonara?

The staff was generally polite, but it was sometimes difficult to get their attention, likely because there was an event happening during our visit, which made the cafe busier than usual.

On the plus side, the bakery attached to the cafe was a treat! They offer freshly baked breads and croissants that are worth trying, and they added a sweet note to our experience.

Overall, the place has potential, but a few tweaks in service and portions would make it...

Made a reservation last 27 April 2025. Our scheduled appointment was supposed to be at 2PM but we arruved at around lunch time. Glad they accommodated us despite our early arrival.

We ordered the Callos, Bagnet, Salad, 2 Cucumber and 1 Mango.

Bagnet was tender. So despite the fact that they would only serve you 4 to 5 thin slices, it made up with the taste naman. Callos was a no-no. For a 600+ amount, I expected much but it just tasted like a Century Tuna, mechado flavor 🥲 Salad was good, especially...
