Now
on our last stop, simply because the establishments in the area were getting
ready to close, we decided to go for a nice and quiet place to chat. The coffee
shop in the Nav compound made me curious and after our meal at Diner on 16th,
we opted to look for it. And thanks to the shop’s signage, finding it was a
breeze. But the climb up wasn’t due to my aching knees. >.<
Hello, United Coffee.
There were only
two other tables occupied when we arrived. The interiors reminded me of a
humbler Yardstick—warm and cozy. We settled in one of the window seats.
The place is still
on its soft opening, having opened its doors last December. Menu is not very
extensive but since I was already full and slightly sleepy, none appealed to
me. The friendly server suggested their bestseller, Espresso + Milk + Mocha (PHP160) and as a sucker for bestsellers, I
gave it a try. I wanted to try the S’mores cake but I just do not have space
for it anymore. T_T
Our impromptu Kapitolyo food trip stop #2 is just a few steps away
from Taco Vengo! and it was just perfect as it was drizzling that night. This stop captured my interest after seeing a few photos of its mouthwatering milkshakes
and diner inspired interiors online. Yes, I’m talking about Diner on 16th.
Hello,
Diner on 16th.
Since
my sister and I were not so hungry anymore, we opted to order two dishes and
one milkshake to share. We got Waffle Florentine (PHP265), Chicken Buffalo
Kabob (PHP197) and S’mores Milkshake (PHP134).
We were informed that the dishes
we ordered will take around 15 minutes and since we were still digesting the
tacos, we said that we’re willing to wait. (Don’t you just love it when the
server tells you how long you’ll wait to set your expectations?)
First
served was our milkshake and oohlala… it was overflowing!
Each
sip is packed with a lovely milky and chocolatey taste. It wasn’t too sweet or
feel like we were having dessert with our meal. I also loved the s’mores on the brim. It was a chewy piece of sweet heaven.
It’s just a bit messy to
enjoy this one as the mason jar was covered with chocolate syrup. Not that I’m
complaining.
Waffle
Florentine was served next and yowza! For its price, it was bang for the buck!
What was served before us was a plate good for sharing.
