Cafe B.O.M — Restaurant in Mabalacat

Unfortunately, this establishment is not pet-friendly. The outside area, known as Al Fresco, is not truly al fresco as the front entrance is too hot and the back entrance is unpleasantly smelly and infested with large flies. Due to the unpleasant environment, we had to opt for takeout as we could not bear the smell and presence of the flies. We had hoped to dine indoors, even if it meant being seated at the farthest table since our dog was inside the stroller anyways.

In terms of the food, the Beef Tapa was average, with the tapa being on the sweeter side, which personally I do not prefer. The portions were decent, but the price point at 350 pesos was quite high.

On a positive note, the Cookies and Cream Frappe was enjoyable. However, the Mango Smoothie did not quite meet our expectations. The Tuna Panini had generous servings, but once again, we felt that it was not worth the price. The Cheesy Fries, however, were a highlight in terms of taste.

The ambiance of the place was relaxing, but may not be suitable for pet owners as outdoor seating is the only option. The outdoor area was uncomfortably hot, with ongoing construction adding to the humidity.

Overall, we found that the experience did not live up to the hype. Spending 1,310 pesos on a lunch that was not enjoyable was disappointing. It is a place that we do not recommend for future visits. We realky should've visited Abe's...

the good: ambience sockets free photoshoot (havent tried).

The bad: food coffee unwelcoming staff pricing

The place is relaxing and very instagram worthy. However, the food and drinks are meh especially for its price. You really are just paying for the aesthetics of the place.

My cafe latte's espresso was over-extracted and so tasted bitter. The cashier suggested we try the Tuna Panini because it was their best seller but it was too dry and lacked in flavour. Their pizza was also meh. I could get better food options for much cheaper compared to the food here. Waste of money for the food and drinks. The staff also just gave me a bunch of coins for change. Usually staff should ask if it's okay to provide coins... They even gave an annoyed facial expression and reaction when I kindly asked if they had bills because the coins were too heavy and I was just on my bike... Mind you this was a Sunday morning and not much people were around so it...

First time to visit a cafe with a photo studio inside! You can get a free studio shoot upon showing your purchase receipt. They did not specify any minimum purchase amount.

Our group was surprised because we did not expect to see something like a legit photo studio! We thought there will be just a wall and it will be self-shoot, but no! They have the complete setup as you would see in Great Image and the like. They even positioned us so we can get a nice group photo. There is also a big monitor where you can see the photos being taken. The staffs were nice too! The photos we got were high quality and even better than the ones I got from other self-shoot studios in Makati!

We got a printed copy for a minimal fee and we also got the soft copies the next day. Highly recommend this place!

Btw, the place is big and...
