Perene Cakes & Pastries — Restaurant in Pasig

The moment I stepped into the coffee shop, I was greeted with a warm smile and a genuine "Welcome!" from the barista.

Service was good though. Staff was very accommodating and attentive.

Ambience is good. Kaso parang di worth it for the price range :( baka mas masarap yung...
