Newest hole in the wall along Maginhawa street. Came by here today and this cafe is still on their soft opening. Opens at 10 am, closes at 12 midnight.
The building design is literally a great convenience for customers as there are parking spaces available at the front. We all know one of the major difficulties when planning on a food trip to Maginhawa and you are bringing your vehicle is parking space. That's absolutely no lie.
I honestly thought I will never have the opportunity to experience this newest sundae creation, which by the way I had stumbled upon a video clip few months ago featuring the same product but unfortunately only available in New York. No they're not the same brand nor same store. Same food idea but only local and thank goodness it is available in Manila. Sundae flavor only comes in two: (1) BLACK MASCARPONE (2) MILK TEA SWIRL.
I ordered a plain cup of Milk Tea Swirl with an extra sinker of Boba which costs extra P20.00 I posted up pictures of its Sundae Menu. If you happen to be ordering their famour Sundae, you will have to choose first what sort of Sundae in cup / cone you will get: Plain cup, Cup Classic [+1 Topping], Cup Grande [+ 1 Topping and 1 Crunch], or Cup Supreme [+1 Topping and 2 Crunches]. Then, you will be asked what sundae flavor shall be swirled into the cup/cone: Black Mascarpone? Milk Tea Swirl? You will see variety of toppings and crunch options you might want to add in your sundae. I wasn't really in the mood for anything mysterious today. I just really wanted to appreciate how this Milk Tea Swirl sundae tastes and it did not disappoint.
Black Scoop cafe also offers food and drinks such as: Coffee and Chocolate Drinks Cream Cheese Lattes Specialty Drinks Frappe Drinks Tea Drinks from Milk Tea to Fruit Tea
As for their food menu, my general comment is that food options are very limited but pretty accetable.
Ambience is absolutely delightful. Young and old ones will definitely enjoy it. Indoor and outdoor seats are available.
Expect this place to be packed in the next few weeks / months time.
The restaurant is still polishing details (it opened July 26, 2018) so there may still be rough spots, though I didn't...
Read moreI normally don’t post reviews, but the service at the Maginhawa branch was extremely rude and dismissive. From the start, the cashier spoke to us in a tone that made it feel like we were inconveniencing her just by ordering. Even simple requests felt like they irritated her, which already made the experience uncomfortable.
What made it worse was how she handled our change and receipt. She told us she would give the change “later,” which we were initially okay with — but even after two polite follow-ups, she still refused to hand it over. When we decided to leave, we purposely didn’t mention it again to see if she would do the right thing. She looked directly at us as we walked out and still didn’t give the change.
I walked back inside and the moment she saw me, she immediately handed both the change and receipt — which were clearly already prepared and right beside her. It genuinely felt like she was intentionally withholding it hoping we’d forget, which is dishonest and unprofessional. After checking other reviews, it’s sad to see multiple complaints about the same cashier dating back months, yet management appears to have done nothing. It’s disappointing to see this kind of behavior go unaddressed — customers deserve basic respect...
Read moreWhat makes Black Scoop unique? It's not only the place that I keep coming back every week, it can be everything about the store, from black, brown, and white dominated interior to affordable (sorry but i dont think 85-180php price for drinks and 120-250pbp price for food is overpriced) yet delicious food and drinks. You'll never go wrong with black scoop.
I don't find it very odd that from once a month visit, it turned to twice a month, then once a week to every after 2 days. Me and my friends are food junkies. We never fail to try different foods but this one definitely is love and taste at first sight.
Go ahead and try black bison for basic milk tea starters, hokkaido and cheesecake milktea are next. You can also choose to order blueberry cheesecake or strawberry cheesecake frappe if you are craving for sweet drinks or just order green apple fruit tea 50% sugar that is served with orange slice, calamansi and basil seeds (which became my most favorite drink here) Then try their nachos that is good for groups. You may also opt to try their beef tapas, pancakes and other delectable menu. Oh! And one last thing guys.... Don't forget to try their mascarpone ice cream topped with your choice of...
