Cafe Breton
One of my most favorite dessert places has got to be Cafe Breton. I go here almost more than twice a month. In fact, I’ve influenced most of my loved ones to go here and they all love it! My family, best friend, officemates and ofcourse, my boyfriend.
The best crepe ever:
La Pinay - A mango crepe topped with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. Yum!
Now, my most favorite coffee beverage:
Cafe Liegeois - Cold espresso with coffee ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Sooooooo delicious!
I also love eating the Breton Mozzarella Burger. This one is my most favorite burger. My mom also loves it. As a matter of fact, she always asks me to bring her home this sandwich.
They also have other kinds of crepes, salads, sandwiches and coffee drinks.
If you’re from Manila, give it a try. It is definitely going to satisfy your sweet tooth. 
Dark Roast Coffee Jelly and some more..
On July 2, Starbucks Philippines introduced its latest feature beverage: Dark Roast Coffee Jelly.
Yesterday, they started offering the following drinks: Dark Roast Coffee Jelly Frappuccino, Caramel Dark Roast Coffee Jelly Frappuccino and Iced Vanilla Dark Roast Coffee Jelly Latte. Together with these new drinks, they also included the following food products in their menu: Spanish Sausage and Egg Wrap, Farmhouse Cheese Quiche, Chicken Parmesan on Turkish Pide, Chocolate Marshmallow Cake and Very Berry Cheesecake.
I was able to try out the Dark Roast Coffee Jelly Frappucino yesterday and boy, was it heaven. The jelly was interestingly smooth, mixing it with my favorite coffee frap. I’m still yet to try the two other drinks and the new food offerings, as well. Being the dessert lover that I am, I’ll probably try the Chocolate Marshmallow Cake and Very Berry Cheesecake.
Ahhh.. just talking about it makes me hungry and craving for coffee. If you’re Filipino, go to your nearest Starbucks and give it a try.

Do baristas annoy you?
You walk into your favorite coffee shop, find a good spot, mark your temporary territory with a book or an invaluable belonging, walk over to the counter, and look up the menu. You’re thinking of what to order, when a familiar voice cuts in, “Hi (name)! Let me guess. Non-fat white chocolate mocha, no whipped cream, and chocolate eclair?” It’s the barista, naming your usual order which you’ve been getting for the past how many weeks.
On the one hand, it’s flattering that he or she actually remembers your name, your usual order, and even correctly associated it with your face. On the other, it’s a bit presumptuous. What makes him or her think that you don’t have enough sense of adventure to try out something new right now? Do you look like the kind of person who can’t help but stick to his boring old routine? Non-fat? Aren’t you looking more fit today, so that you deserve a calorie-laden frappuccino with double servings of whipped cream?
Next situation. You’re in the mood for a quiet, relaxing day. What could be a better setting than your neighborhood cafe, with that steady buzz of coffee brewing, the subdued chatter that blends into white noise, and the soft jazzy music playing in the background? You settle into a comfy chair, open your chosen feel-good book or magazine, and then suddenly, that familiar voice again asks you, “Hey (name)! How are you doing?” You smile politely and say you’re fine, thank you very much. You’re about to go back to your book when it cuts in again. “Oh, you’re not working today? Are you on leave?” Again, it’s flattering that he or she remembers you, and some things about your life which you probably shared bit by bit through your frequent visits. But isn’t it obvious that you just want to enjoy some quiet alone time? And, it’s not like you’re old buddies.

It’s as simple as that. Enjoy!
It’s great!
Don’t you think it’s great to walk into a coffee shop! Walking into Starbucks or any other coffee shop it’s amazing. I think it’s a great place to have a social meeting with friends or even catch up with some homework. As a student it’s always great to be greeted kindly by the hard working people behind the counter. The downside is that these coffee shops are always packed up to the rafters unfortunately. Although the noise is kept to a minimum and there is mostly always seating. Also may i add their table are tremendously small for all the books students always have to cary. All in all, i believe that coffee shops such as Starbucks are a great place to socialize and if you are looking for a job take a run to check their openings. Finally thank god for these modern french cafes. They always offer a great ambiance and a good time out.
Coffee and Dessert at Starbucks
Through the years, Starbucks has established itself not only as a place where you can get great-tasting and caffeine-loaded coffee, but also as the perfect venue for finding comfort food. Their desserts have been raved about my many.
One of my favorite desserts from this coffee shop is their Banoffee Pie. It’s served in a small, thin aluminum container, like a baby pie pan. And this little container is full of delicious banoffee goodness. Sliced bananas, cream, toffee, and crust - it’s comfort in a little pan.
Another dessert that I like is their honey-glazed donut. Fine, it’s not technically a dessert, but it’s a treat to my sweet tooth. It’s soft and not too sweet. It’s just right - and so is its price. I think it’s the cheapest item in their display counter.
My friends also like their Mango Madness and Oreo Cheesecake.
If you suddenly find yourself craving for something sweet with your cup of coffee, proceed to your nearest Starbucks.
Review: McCafé
I’ve been seeing adverstising for McDonald’s new McCafe’s which are essentially mocha’d up versions of an iced coffe. I’ve had their iced cofee in the past and was pleased. I wasn’t jumping for joy, but it was pretty tasty, especially at the price they had it for. When I ordered a much more expensive McCafé from McDonalds I expected it to taste pretty similar to their iced coffees.
In all honesty I was wrong. It was actually really really good. It tasted like it was made straight in the café of a little bistro in the heart of the city. This was the real thing and I quite enjoyed it. I was appalled at the price but do believe its a deal compared to if I bought this in a little coffee house.
I’d buy this again and stick with the mocha flavor as it is incredibly delicious and tastes very authentic as well.
