After touring them around Pampanga, I wanted to treat them to some dessert and coffee. Teaspoon Cafe was on my list of places to check out. Decor is very cutesy; I love their comfy couches. This is one of those places that you just want to relax and enjoy your company. The food was surprisingly good for a coffee house, plus we were all happy with our drinks (fruit teas and blended coffee drinks). Good thing my cousin has a car. Even though it's located on Fil-Am Friendship Hwy, it's difficult catching a Jeep here. Best way to get here if you don't have a car, is to catch a Grab or trike. 4.5 start overall but I'm gonna bump up their rating because they're located next to a nursery with reasonably priced plants. Teaspoons is a nice stop for a light meal, or dessert and drinks.

Despite the most recent review being 1 star, I still wanted to try Marthina's Cafe. Unfortunately,…read moreI had a similar experience as the last person who posted, as a majority of the menu items were unavailable. Out of the extensive coffee/boba listings, only 3 drinks were in-stock. It took us around 10 minutes of going through the lunch menu and being told they did not have what we wanted, to the point we debated leaving; I decided to just settle for fries and a salad since they had the chicken adobo that my bf ordered. In the time it took for our meals to arrive, another family left in frustration after multiple attempts to find something available The employee at the register was rude and completely unsympathetic as she kept coldly repeating "(dish/drink) is unavailable", while offering no alternatives. She watched us struggle to choose the next-best options for 10 minutes, then finally told us what they did have, which implicitly informed us that during the entire interaction, she was well-aware of their inventory but could not be bothered to let us know. My bf said his chicken adobo and the garlic cheesy fries were good. My chicken caesar salad was okay, but the dressing tasted slightly off. My coffee arrived when we were almost done eating- I think they forgot about it... The mocha frappe was so rich and decadent, which was bittersweet because the new Nutella Espresso and the Pepero coffee that we had originally chosen would have been amazing, but (as you can guess) both were unavailable so I had to resort to my default mocha It's understandable to run out of ingredients or wait on a supply re-stock, but to the extent of having less than 10% of the dishes/drinks on your menu is just... They're receiving 3 stars because I loved the mocha frappe (it brought them up from 2 stars) But please work on customer service :(

They even had some folk guitar music playing in the background. The prices are very fair. Average 120-130 pesos for a rice meal. All day breakfast for 80-90 pesos. They have sides and shareable bites like sisig and Sriracha wings for about 200somethingish pesos. I ordered the strawberry blossom drink . It had graham cracker cookie like crumble on top and bottom. It tasted exactly like a strawberry angel cake in a cup. Kim ordered the carbonara. Precy ordered a BBQ rice plate and we ordered a few sides of the pork sisig. Dad ordered the sweet and sour fish. It was a lot of food. The sisig to share was enough for 3 people. I split a serving of rice with my mom. The food was fresh and pretty good. Id come back again. Good price, nice and clean ambiance, food came out quickly , and the taste was yummy. I was not disappointed.

MY GO TOS: - Dark Chocolate Macadamia cookie warmed up - Hazelnut latte with whipped cream - Passion or grapefruit iced tea with their classic syrup trenta size (their biggest size) with their original syrup and light ice. Customer service is excellent and I've never had a problem using my American debit card here. They've got an awesome rewards system, if you're a frequent customer, where you rack up points for freebies. I always appreciate when I get my yearly freebie on my birthday; I can get any food or drink item in any size for free on the day of my birthday. Only thing I don't like is that during the evenings and weekends the seating is taken up by people just hanging out for long periods of time.

Pie lady is located toward the back of the Arena plaza, they're open early when most eateries in the area are still closed. They're not busy in the mornings during the week. There's lively jazz music playing, the Hallmark channel on the TV, free WiFi, and a couple of tables outside. Staff is friendly and speaks English. WE'VE TRIED: -Eggs made perfectly, hash browns crispy outside but mushy on the inside -Tocino breakfast comes with 2 pancakes, can request for garlic rice. This was ok. - Pancakes thick and dense, reminds me of the soufflé pancakes I had in Canada: not my cup of tea. I like my pancakes light and fluffy with a slight crispness to the edge. -Bacon burger with fries was ok, hubby liked it more than me. -Chocolate cookie is good: soft and crumbly. They make it in house. -Apple pie ala mode-needed more cinnamon and sugar. Ice cream tasted like it had tons of butter in it bleh! The food & desserts are made fresh in house. They have a strong ac and free WiFi. We would come back to try more things from their menu.

In addition some of the most delicious home made pies and cakes in town. And they serve a good coffee or espresso to go with it. Pies and Cakes go for 80-160 Pesos, or $1.60 to $3.00 approximately. They don't have a web site which is a shame so this is what I remember I saw on the dessert side. Banana raisin, Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal raisin cookies Peach mango, Apple, Chocolate, Cherry, Pecan, Pumpkin pie German Chocolate. Carrot cake and Blueberry cheesecake Brownies I had the German Chocolate cake and it's real good, the only difference to the American styles is the chocolate frosting on the sides, I was picking the crumbs from the plate afterwards. They have a good pasta plates and I can vouch for the Shrimp and Carbonara.

We chose from the bakery case in the front, asked them to warm up our pastries, then sat down in the back dining room to enjoy our treats. WE HAD: - Fresh squeezed orange juice. Oftentimes here in the Philippines when you ask for orange juice you are given orange soda, so this is a welcomed surprise. - Chocolate croissant (chocolate filling, chocolate drizzle and powdered sugar on top) - flaky and delicious! Don't forget to have it warmed up YUM! - Crumb bun custard - yummy with a hint of coconut. - (Thick crinkle cut) French fries - crispy and hot. You need to specify that you want them crispy. 4 stars for their dessert and drinks (they stock San Pelligrino soda too). Baked goods aren't made in house; but they're baked fresh and delivered daily from a local bakery. They have a revamped menu with many new items; I'm excited to come back and try their new offerings. FYI - If you hear a loud CRAAAACK, it just their electronic bug killer.

We ordered through foodpanda and it arrived safe and sound without any spillage. They did an excellent job taping up the cups and securing it in the bag with a cardboard holder. Extra points for having the straw in a sealed plastic wrapper. I was happy with my ice blended mocha drink; it had good flavor and it wasn't overly sweet. I will definitely order from them again. BEFORE THE COVID-19 LOCKDOWN: What a lovely place to chill! Lots of different seating options: from comfy lounge chairs and half booths, to outdoor wicker chairs shaded with patio umbrellas. Staff are friendly and work hard keeping the place clean. They can be seen washing windows and wiping down tables. Menu isn't extensive, but they do have a good variety. Their iced teas are very mild; but I did enjoy their floral teas (Southern Blend & Pomegranate Blueberry). Next time, I'll request that they steep the tea longer. I appreciate that they are light handed in adding sweetener. I had a slice of their chocolate cake which was too dense, and had frosting that was too sugary sweet. If it's not too hot, the second floor patio is an excellent place to escape the crowd. There are lots of patio umbrellas to shade you from the sun, and you can see all the way to the mountains. The hum of the traffic and the occasional buzzing from an airplane were relaxing sounds, as my hubby and I enjoyed each other's company. Looks like people like to work/study here. This one person had set up an entire work station on one table, and even brought in their own extension cord to hook up all their electronics. Located in the Clark Auto Zone Plaza, look for the red Kia Motors sign, they're on the opposite end. If you get hungry, there's a Yellow Cab and Pancake House next door.

The steak itself is prepared good but I asked for medium and it was over cooked to medium well. Tonight I took a take away rib eye and it was cooked to perfection... The venue itself is nice. There is outside seating and a small bar. The menu is just like Texas road house. The cuts of meat are USDA. I was surprised because most of Asia uses Austria. Outside in the seating area there is a pool but I think it's for hotel guest only. Plenty of tables outside and inside Definitely a good spot to get a steak!

DINING OUT DURING A PANDEMIC:…read more We've been extending our wedding anniversary celebration and decided to try the breakfast here. Things don't always turn out the way that you plan, but that's not always bad. Our temps were scanned at the front door of the hotel; face masks and shields are mandatory. Hubby signed us in, then a lovely masked cowgirl/server opened the door to the restaurant and greeted us. I chose a table outside, requesting the ceiling fan to be turned on. We took our time perusing the menu and decided against breakfast, instead we ordered: - Cafe mocha - made from Brazilian coffee beans. This was good. - Corn Fritters made fresh and covered in powdered sugar. Always a winner YUM! - Crab cakes - Oh my! This was delish! Made with fresh crab with a light crisp exterior topped with mango relish - New York Nachos topped with sirloin chunks, chili con carne, pico de gallo, cheese and jalapeños. Comes with sour cream and guacamole (not up to the standard of California avocados) - I make my own chili con carne from scratch, so I wasn't fond of their version, but hubby ate it up! - Blackened Chicken sandwich with smoked bacon - delicious soft bun, thick cut bacon, it had good flavor. American size portions (not tiny Filipino size) with prices that are reasonable, considering the high quality of their ingredients. Also don't be afraid to make requests: they have corn fritters and a cafe mocha that aren't not on the menu. Servers actually come by and asked "How's your food?", this is the first time I've ever heard anyone here in the Philippines ask that! If you need anything, you just need to give the servers a knowing glance, and they'll quickly come. They're always close by keeping an eye out for you. FYI: the standard around the Philippines is that the servers won't check in on you unless you need them. That's why many places have call buttons, or the staff stand around waiting for you to call them. What a beautiful place for a relaxing poolside meal, listening to Kenny G working his magic on the saxophone, and the soothing sound of the rain in the background: I've found foodie heaven.

Beautiful white tufted chairs, super cute artwork on the walls, large windows to people watch, free WiFi, and a large/clean/well stocked bathroom (not always easy to find here in the Philippines). Hubby accompanied me to check things out. We ordered: - Raspberry iced tea with nata was very floral, I bet the tea base they use is Jasmine tea. This was potent, so hubby diluted it with water: more bang for the buck! - Choco Caramel Mocha Frappe was rich, thick and DELISH! I actually didn't mix in the whipped cream and chocolate caramel drizzle because it was perfectly sweet the way it was. - Bacon fries had nacho cheese sauce: salty and tasty with seasoned shoe string fries. Wait staff are patient, and are used to taking pics for their patrons. One was kind enough to show me the VIP rooms (no fee, just purchase food or drinks). Some important info from my previous review "If you're a coffee connoisseur, they offer many brewing methods: Chemex, French Press, Siphon, and cold brew to name a few. They serve delicious Sagada coffee and Twinings tea." "Their cakes are from Purple Oven". Such a cutesy cafe; I'm bringing my girlfriends next time. TIP: the second floor is more popular, therefore more noisy. If you want a more quiet experience, you'll want a table downstairs.
