this afternoon, went with some friends to sit down for some good coffee, good eats, and convo at Trafiq in Mt pleasant.
as expected, the place was packed with people despite the rains. and i am not surprised...as inside, you will find a world of wonderful eats, treats, and sweets. from cookies to cakes to souped up cinnamon buns 2.0...its beauty enough just to admire the offerings featured on the glass displays.
had some good drip coffee and hot chocolate. ordered the BEC - bacon, egg frittata, spicy tomato, cheese sandwich on focaccia bread, as well as the classic and timeless ham and cheese croissant.
for sweats, had the banna bread pudding and the oooey gooey, special cinnamon buns.
the sandwiches were amazing. quality ingredients for sure. no skimping on the bacon or ham. it was loaded, let me tell ya. the fritta was done nicely. not runny or bland. seasoned and formed well and went nicely with the focaccia bread, which in itself was great. moist and tender and more importantly, fragrant from the herbs and rosemary that topped the crust. the croissant was flaky and big and warmed up just right.
the banana bread pudding was ok. not that sweet but the chocolate topping made it taste extra special. what was lacking however, was the aroma and taste of real bananas. the cinnamon buns 2.0 was great when served warm. but when cooled down, started to become tough. it was also too sweet, thus a bit overwhelming after a few bites.
drinks were served in a huge cup and had a homey feel to them.
next time, will try the cakes!! they look so decadent and exquisite.
one thing they could improve though, was the food prep, speed and accuracy. some people had mixed orders, some orders didnt come.
i would go back again for sure to indulge in the other tempting creations.
cheers! happy eating!
