The small yet lovely and warm shop welcomed me and my mother on a cold, rainy day. What made it even warmer was the friendliness and hospitality of the owner and the staff. Super approachable and accommodating 💖
For dine in, we ordered their famous Classic Leche Flan, slices of their Chocolate Temptation cake (Best of Cebu 2023) and Coffee Crumble Cheesecake, and hot Café Americano. For take out (separate day), we ordered slices of their New York-Style Cheesecake topped w/ blueberry, Dreamy Ube Cake, and Rebellious Red Velvet cake.
Classic Leche Flan
• A creamy, rich, and melt-in-your-mouth goodness that is not overly sweet
• Really loved the taste of the brown syrup (also rich and not overly sweet), which makes the flan even more indulgent
Chocolate Temptation
• 'Though moist and soft, the chocolate cake base overpowered both the chocolate ganache frosting and the flan in terms of taste. Each component was of good quality, but I would have liked it more if all flavors were harmoniously present. If the choco cake base were lessened up a bit or if the choco ganache (as a filling) and the flan were added just a bit more, I would have devoured the whole thing in seconds. 🙈 Nevertheless, it was a nice treat. 🤎
• Pouring the sugar syrup of the Classic Leche Flan onto the cake (esp. the flan part) made it much, much better. It was so darn good! 😋
Coffee Crumble Cheesecake
• THE BEST I'VE TASTED FROM THE SHOP SO FAR 🥰 Currently one of my top favorite cheesecakes 🖤✨🤎 Planning to get this for my birthday (skl) 😁
• What I loved most about this cheesecake is that the flavors were friends, not rivals. 🤝 The coffee flavor is there but didn't dominate the whole thing. It blended so well with the cheesecake base, which I believe is not an easy thing to accomplish. 💛
Hot Café Americano
• A good cup of strong, quality coffee
• It didn't turn sour, unlike in other cafés or coffee shops. 🖤✨️
New York-Style Cheesecake topped w/ blueberry
• At this point, I gotta say they do make really good cheesecakes. 😋🫶
• The creamy, rich, light cheesecake went so well with the mild blueberry topping. 💛💜 Another harmony of flavors❣️
Dreamy Ube Cake
• The ube frosting and cake did not have the typical ube flavor that I'm used to (which is quite similar to that of the Selecta Ube ice cream), but the unique taste of ube was still there. 💜
• The creamy, smooth, light flan in the middle of the ube cake base made the cake even more decadent overall. 😋
• A great sweet treat, but perhaps too much so (mainly because of the sweet ube frosting) 😅
Rebellious Red Velvet
• The cake itself was a bit dense for my liking, and the cream filling was a bit less for the thickness of the cake. I also prefer cream cheese frosting/filling for red velvet cakes, but I couldn't taste the sourness in this one.
• Loved the cookie crumb crust 🖤✨️ quite an unusual ingredient for a red velvet cake, but the soft crunch brought a fun texture and taste 😋
Overall, I would recommend this shop to my fellow sweet tooths ❣️ If you want quality sweets and goodies that are relatively affordable and of adequate portions, you will love it here. ✨️
