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.

E've heard about Chef Sau Del Rosario so we wazed our way to Cafe Fleur. It's an old house converted to a 2 floored restaurant. Cafe Fleur offers Thai food and Filipino food. We didn't try their Thai food but concentrated on our old time Filipino dishes. The Tamales Pampanguena is divine. Try de-constructed it in a way that it is like a creamy paste with the usual tamales flavors. It goes with 2 pieces of bread where you can spread the tamales or just simply eat it in its cream form. You can taste the coconut milk and the peanut flavor. There's also shredded chicken and salted egg. The tamales is really good and I won't mind ordering another one. We also tried their Crispy Pancit LugLug. At first look, it like a bowl of seafood. It's an upgraded version of our old time favorite palabok. Instead of the big noodles, they used Sotanghon noodles. It's not the crunch that I was hoping for. It's a by firm as a it crunchy. But the flavor is awesome! Love the shrimp sauce of this dish. It has crispy fried shrimps, boiled shrimp, tuna pasta flakes and hard boiled egg. Another element that they added is shredded kani stick. It really goes well with the shrimp sauce. It is really great and this order is good for 2-3 persons as well. And for desserts, we tried their best seller Bibingka Cheesecake. I was hoping for a more Bibingka flavor to it though. Basically it's a cheesecake with salted egg and grilled cheese. It actually works. The sweetness and acidity of the cheesecake compliments well with the salted egg. It's not that salty and plus the grilled cheese element, it is awesome. pongTrip Recommended: - Tamales Pampangueno - Crispy Pancit Luglug

It's menu is primarily breakfast, Italian (pizza and pasta) and American cuisine. Cute, cozy coffee shop with friendly staff and an eclectic selection of background music: smooth jazz, the Beatles and I even heard Smooth by Santana. Coffee beans are from Columbia and Ethiopia and Desserts are made in house. WE ORDERED Breakfast - tapa chewy - pancake dry - hash brown crispy but oily - egg undercooked - store bought sliced bread Lunch - Hamburger which comes with fries - patty was dry and edges hard while the bun was super tough like it was microwaved too long. - (Imitation) Crab and Mango salad - wilted and dressing bland - Strawberry cheesecake is microscopic. Very dense, reminds me of a New York cheesecake. Decent taste but pricey. - Hazelnut iced latte - not bad The only things I would come back for would be for coffee and dessert. During the day, it's a lovely place to chill out for a bit. Squeezed in between Envy Bistro and Hammer Disco Night Club, next to the Fields walking Street arch, and across the trike terminal.

I was staying at Park Inn and this is the only 24hr coffee shop. Thank God I found it! The decor is nice but don't be fooled. It is not French. It is mostly breakfasts, some alcoholic drinks and italian fare. I think it fits in with what the area offers, considering the normal demographics. Got the Filipino breakfast: scrambled eggs with corned beef and garlic fried rice. Rice was hard. Corned beef and eggs were good. And they gave me my iced coffee as part of the meal package - win!

I am a cat lover. If I had my way, I would have a house full of cats; but because hubby and I are…read morerarely home and hubby's work moves us around the world, I'm unable to keep even one *SIGH*. I've had to be satisfied with feeding strays, playing with store kitties and hanging out with my friends' cats. Cat cafes are my type of hangouts, so I was looking forward to visiting Coffee Cat. The cafe is separated into three main enclosed areas: a large dining area that can be used as a private party room, a smaller cafe type room, then there's the cat room. You gain admission to the cat room just by purchasing anything from the cafe. I would suggest to definitely buy some cat treats (P65) to attract the cats and help them to warm up to you. Before we went to play with the cats, hubby and I snacked on a grilled cheese sandwich with a side of tomato soup (yummy) and a blueberry cheesecake (too much cream cheese). Periodically the cats are taken to the back room for rest and feeding times, so we had to wait for the cats to come back out. I was the first one to go in; you need to remove your shoes and sanitize your hands before you enter. Two cats immediately hid, while the rest gathered around me because I had the treats. Beware of the Savannah because he/she will steal the treats from the other cats. I had to toss treats away from the others, and while the Serval went to get it, I gave treats to the more docile ones. I would also suggest to put the treats on the floor instead of trying to let them take the treats from your hand, you might accidentally get nipped. Now I've volunteered at a number of shelters, socialized many cats and even raised one from a newborn. In my opinion, these cats need more socialization. After all the treats were gone, they stayed apart from each other and from us hoomans. They weren't cuddly nor affectionate, and seemed to only tolerate the petting and scratching (didn't hear any purring from any of them). Only the munchin seemed to want to play; we had to use our fingers and keys as toys since there was only one toy available (you can see it in the video). Not all of them are neutered/spayed as evidenced by the gray Scottish fold trying to mount one of the females; she was not having any of his nonsense though and he gave up trying. One thing I do have to say about them is that they do have a good variety of cats to observe; however, I was sad that I didn't get to see the Sphinx because it was asleep in the back room. It's not easy to get to, we had to take a Grab. If I lived close by, I would stop by often to help socialize the cats. If you're not familiar with cats, I would suggest to bring a cat person with you to teach you how to interact with them, unless all you want to do is observe them. A couple positives: didn't notice a litter box smell, and we didn't leave covered in fur (they must groom them often).

I adore breakfast burritos because it is a filling, healthy alternative to fast-food. When I was a…read moreworking mom running and gunning, it was also a cheap breakfast that was easy to eat on the go. Good Mexican food is a scarcity here in the PI, so I've been telling my hubby about the breakfast burrito here. We finally found some free time to stop by. WE ORDERED - Breakfast burrito (added sausage for P50 more). Flavorful and tasty. Green salsa complimented the burrito well; but I thought it was on the salty side (the burrito had enough flavor so it didn't need more salt). Hubby prefers a higher salt level than me so he enjoyed it. - Filipino breakfast - comes with two eggs, rice (this was on the hard side), and longganisa. The sausage was sweet, savory and delicious, pair it with spicy vinegar (you need to request it) to compliment the sweetness. - Cafe Americano (complimentary with breakfast)- a blend of four coffees that they roast and grind in house. We asked for it iced. This was strong, so we added sugar and milk. - Iced Tea - today's flavor was Jasmine (they switch out teas when they finish a batch). This was floral but not over steeped, so I enjoyed it once I added sugar. Things have improved even more than last time. Now you can ask to have the complimentary coffee iced OR you can have it replaced with their available tea (hot or iced). The regular staff are now just as attentive as the management. They offered us ice water before we even had to ask. I left a tip in their tip jar and they actually thanked me, it's the little details that I feel make a business 5 stars. If you run into any any problems, make sure to approach the managers; they're easy to talk to and they'll make things right.

Oh yeah, I can work with this! TRIED: - sour cream flavored fries - crispy and tasty - Okinawa milk tea - taste good but too sweet for me.
