Firstly, let's talk about the ice sea salt latte—a true masterpiece in a glass.

The expertly balanced sweetness and subtle saltiness made this beverage an extraordinary treat for my senses.

Layers of moist, purple yam-infused cake were expertly stacked and enveloped in a velvety ube frosting. Each forkful revealed a perfect balance of sweetness, ensuring a delightful experience with every bite. The ube cake at Café Dia is a true testament to the rich culinary heritage of the Philippines.

But the indulgence didn't end there—the choco fudge cake awaited me with its irresistible allure. This chocolate lover's dream boasted a dense and fudgy texture that melted in my mouth.

We decided to have a quick brunch at Cafe Dia Clark last Sunday. We were a group of five and we arrived at around 9 am. It was a clear and crisp morning, I can still remember. There's a small park in front of Cafe Dia that you can walk on to and take a breather after a long ride.

There was plenty of parking space for motorcycles and cars, and the place wasn't that packed when we arrived.

I was surprised that they only have three rice meals on their menu, namely tapsilog, longsilog, and what they call a "Dia Breakfast", the most expensive is the latter.

My friends and I ordered the tapa and the longganisa meal and some coffee. The drinks we ordered were served almost immediately. Kudos to them. But our issue with their service started when they failed to serve my friend's order and they had to validate our orders several times during the process. It took almost an hour for the last order to get served.

Their food was good. Their coffee tastes too sweet for my liking but it's not that bad. Their menu is not that expensive, expect to spend around 500 to 600 pesos per person if you will order one meal and one of their drinks. The staff were accommodating and always wore their smiles whenever they approached and served us.

Except for the fact that we waited for almost an hour for one tapa meal, we somewhat had a good experience dining at Cafe Dia. Was there something special on their menu? I think not. Is it worth dining again here? I don't think so as they offer basic meals, coffees, and pastries.

For me...

This is a self service Cafe. With indoor and outdoor seating. Plenty of parking. You pay and order at the counter, you’ll have take a number and they will deliver your order at your table. You’ll have to get your water and disposable utensils yourself, there is a dedicated spot for that. Thinking about how much waste this is, with all this disposable utensils. I am really concerned of the amount of waste that they’ll have, knowing the insane amount of people going on this cafe. Personally, I don’t like eating or drinking on disposable utensils.

Anyway, I ordered bunch of hot and cold beverages. I ordered the spinach pizza, Caesar salad and Nachos. It was okay, nothing Special.

Now for the size of this place. It was Huge, with a an ample roam around area for the kids to run and have fun. Id say, roam around since this is no playground.

Now comes a problem for me, I hate that big cafe such as this has only 1 toilet for ladies and 1 toilet for gents. Yes a bit aesthetically pleasing but with all the facade, toilet is very dirty with leaking pipes in your head. You wondered where the leak is coming from with droplets of liquid falling on your head while seating in the toilet. Long lines to get to toilet, everyone is freaking to go. No one bother to check toilets if it’s clean or no. Yikes for me.

I might come back again or not I don’t know. But this would not be my go to Cafe in Clark. I think it’s kinda overrated. Overhyped by...
