Costa Coffee: London Style Coffee ~ #CoffeePaMore

I am really so excited about this new coffee shop at the Robinson's Mall Antipolo~ Costa Coffee! 

It is hard to find real coffee shops around and findings new ones, puts a smile on my face (#confessionofacoffeeaddict). 

Costa Coffee offers some real kick @ss coffee drinks (oh, the desserts were equally as good)...

My inquisitive nature led me to the internet and I was really impressed to learn that Costa Coffee  has been pouring coffee

 since1971, when they first opened doors in London.

My perfect cup of Costa Coffee (#CoffeePaMore)!

Minced Manila, Antipolo: Restaurant Review

Where to go for a birthday breakfast?

 

My itinerary for the day brought me to this quaint restaurant atop the hills of Antipolo.  Minced Manila is just a kilometer away the Antipolo Cathedral, which made it a perfect breakfast stop-over after mass. 

 

 

 

I first read of Minced Manila from a friend blogger of Memet Diaries, who rated Minced Manila as a worthy visit. 

 

We ordered from their breakfast menu (available from 7am - 10am only). The breakfast menu is served with garlic rice, two eggs and brewed all you can drink coffee.

 

My husband got Longganisa Lucban.

The longganisa smells so good half ended on my plate :P

 

Longganisa Lucban set cost P200.

 

I love their garlic rice... and their sunny side-up eggs were perfect.  The "atsara" with the longganisa was spot-on.

 

I got the Hungarian Sausage, which I of course had to share with my husband, after eating most of his longganisa.

 

Hungarian Sausage set cost P180.

 

Coffee was very strong, which was how we liked it.  "We were happy to hear that coffee was refillable, but one cup was all we needed to keep us up the entire day". You won't be needing a refill :P  

Minced Manila is more than just a breakfast place, they also boast a full lunch and dinner menu, that I am sure are also MUST TRY.

 

 

VERDICT

• Minced Manila is a wonderful find, serving delectable breakfast at really reasonable price. I would definitely come back to try their lunch and dinner menu. 
• Staff are attentive and amiable. 
• Secured location and ample parking a plus.

 

Minced Manila is located at the

2nd floor of EM Gems Building  L. Sumulong Circumferential Road Antipolo

Eggs for Breakfast Antipolo: Review

My husband loves eggs for breakfast, so when I read about this dainty restaurant ~ I only had to ask him once and we were soon on our way to Eggs for Breakfast (Restaurant).

The restaurant is located inside a compound, about 300meter off the main highway.

Eggs for Breakfast has huge grounds for running about.  It is clean and with a countryside vibe. I picture it would be perfect for an intimate garden wedding.  

A mini pond filled with koi fishes welcomes visitors and guests.

The place is air-conditioned, well lighted.

It is however a bit small with limited.  If you intend to come on a weekend, they do take in reservations ~ and I suggest you do (to avoid disappointments). 

Interiors and décors is rustic and exudes a country home appeal.

 

 

 Service was surprisingly fast.  Attendants were amiable and well versed of the house specials.

We ordered:

Vigan Longganiza (P275) served with eggs, tomatoes and rice.

Bacon-Fried Eggs (P220) served with eggs and a choice of roasted potatoes or garlic rice. 

We were hungry so my husband got an extra order of  Classic Omelette with Tomatoes (P65).

We both had coffee (P95) to finish our meal.

 

 

VERDICT

• Eggs for Breakfast sells ambience.  It was a perfect setting for cup of nicely brewed coffee and hefty breakfast.
• Food was just okay for me and nothing out of the ordinary.  It was also on the expensive side at P200+ and still exclusive of coffee (which was another P95). It would have been nice if the can have coffee or tea options included in their meals already. My husband though can't stop raving about his Vigan Longganiza.
• Staff are very accommodating and service was very efficient.  

Overall, Eggs for Breakfast is worth a try. It levels up ones dining experience by offering good food in a really beautiful surrounding so near the Metro.  If you are heading to Antipolo Cathedral via Sumulong Highway, I suggest you drop by.

Eggs For Breakfast Cafe is located at Velada Estate, 21 Don Juan Street, Villa Cecilia Subdivision, Mambugan, Lower Antipolo City

Senorita Cafe at Robinson's Antipolo

Let us just say, me and hubby enjoys having coffee to end our meals.  Unfortunately, Robinson's Antipolo, having just opened recently has very few food outlets available to choose from.

Located at the Robinson's Antipolo ground floor is Senorita Café.  It is a small coffee shop serving real affordable and surprising delicious pastries. 

Senorita is semi-self service.

You have an option to select through their wide selection of pastry spread, (which slightly reminded me of a tea/coffee buffet served at New World Hotel in Makati) or by placing your order at the cashier.

I had so much fun at the pastry spread table, I think I over ordered!

We had cheese cake, tarts and brewed coffee for less than P250.

Oh, what sweet temptations!
