I was thrilled when T told me that one of our favorite coffee shops in Korea is coming to Manila. Caffe Bene (yes, that’s with two Fs), I
have been waiting for you!
When our good friend E went back to Manila, we decided to
have a mini reunion and Caffe Bene seemed to be the perfect place to go to.
Okay, words can’t explain how giddy I was when I stepped
inside. I was taking photos of everything I see. Having fun is an
understatement. The interiors, the cute clock, the brick walls, the unfinished
look, the wooden stairs… love~~~<3
I decided to order my favorite, Liege Waffle with Strawberry Cream (PHP145). I just loooove
strawberries! I was actually contemplating if I will order gelato as well but
we just came from lunch then and I was trying to cut down. (T.T) For my drink, I
was conservative and ordered a cup of cappuccino
(PHP110, regular; PHP125, large).
The first floor was full so we decided to go up.
The place is great for meetings as there are plugs
everywhere! The internet connection though was weak… very weak to the point of
it not being detected at all. I guess it was because a lot of people were using
it already.
After a few minutes, my order was ready for pick up. Now for the moment of truth.
The waffle was smaller than I remembered and the strawberries
were not very fresh. Nonetheless, I managed to finish it in less than 10
minutes (while sipping my cup of cappuccino as well). The waffle was made fresh
and it was slightly chewy. My favorite kind. The coffee was typical and not
extraordinary. Maybe I should have tried a tea drink instead.
Perhaps on my next visit, I’ll try their gelato, pastry or even a cake and pair it with an interesting beverage.
See you again, Caffe Bene!
Caffe Bene is located at Eastwood City Walk 2.
