Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf - Philippines

This is a very late post. I have been sick for a month and a half and been trying to cure this illness. I am suffering from the lazy syndrome. We all know almost all of the teens have been suffering from this syndrome.. wait, I'm not a teen anymore.

Anyway! It's good to be back!

New Years Eve, Steven made it a memorable one for me. Ofcourse, everything he does is awesome. Which makes him more awesome because he's already awesome and the most awesomest because he's with an awesome girl! JK! But seriously though.

We were spending our time at Greenbelt Madissons, watching Supernatural, eating and playing. We plan to spend our new years eve on Star City, because did I tell you that their ferris wheel is awesome? Definitely more awesome than that of EK's. But we decided to stay at our condo and watch the fireworks from the 25th floor. You read it right! 25th baby!

We went out like 5:00 pm and decided to eat somewhere but everybody's closing already! They allow customers, but only for a take-out! Grr. We want to eat somwhere before going to Star City, but we could't find any that we liked! Luckily, we found CBTL!


Our Savior!

The first thing we asked when we saw the janitor outside the shining, shimmering cafe restaurant was "Open pa po?" He said yes and we asked if we can dine-in. Looking confused, he said yes. Yes, we've been turned down a lot of times that day! 

Upon entering, the sight of cakes and pastries makes me want to break the glasses and eat it all! lol!

We ordered 2 Ice Blended, one Red Velvet and the other is Pure Double Chocolate. Because we're craving for pasta that time, we ordered Lasagna and Roast Chicken and Mushroom Fussili.

Some Cool Stuff!

I was kind of expecting that they'll be serving it as soon as we ordered it. Haha! Steven might not notice it that time but there was a complete confusion and disappointment in my face when the guy gave me this instead. I was like, are you kidding me?! Hahaha! Plus I'm not done staring at the cakes and cookies in front of me yet! Sorry! Laking karinderya kasi eh lol anyway it was cool! I've never seen one before so I was amazed too but I just realized that when we're already seated.

Mmmmm Cozy!

Excuse the dis-arranged tables! I think we're the culprit haha! I forgot to arranged it! This was a very comfortable couch, it feels good to sit and relax after roaming around!

Beeep beeep beeeep

We're kind of waiting for it to move or something. I actually don't know what will happen so I'm waiting for it. It vibrated and the lights are dancing as it vibrated. I was kind of hoping there's music, I was so disappointed there isn't any. I call for the CBTL company, please make a ringtone or something. "Beeeep, I know you're hungry! Now pick your food!" Hahhaha jk

Our orders!
Time for the food review! Yes, I think I can properly write a review even we we're hungry that time!

Red Velvet and Pure Double Chocolate
P150+ (LRG)

Pure Double Happiness!

I wasn't able to notice that the one I ordered is coffee-free! If I was only able to see that, I'd be ordering Double Chocolate! I have been decieved by the word PURE lol! Even so, this never failed me! It has it's bittersweet flavor! 

My verdict? It is very nice! I am speaking for those who doesn't like too much flavor on their drinks. It can quench thirst, I mean other chocolate drinks too (in other cafes) but they were too sweet you'd be looking for water after awhile. While this is very nice, it's flavor is not that rich. But it's kind of rich. Like if I'm going to rate it's flavor richness I'd give a 4.3 out of 5. When you drink it, it's very nice but when you stop drinking it's gone that you have to drink again to feel the taste. It's almost enough, but not enough. 

I'd still be going back to CBTL for this though!

Red Velvet!

One might think it's strawberry! But it's red velvet! I was kind of expecting that it's darker in color. Steven and I didn't liked this one. I'm glad I wasn't the one who ordered this! lol! To be fair, it's good. But it was below our expectation so I'm giving this not just two, but four thumbs down (including my toes).

It is bland. Like drinking a creamy whatever. But maybe I was thinking it is what CBTL's signature is, like a little bland. Hahaha! I don't know, maybe others would find red velvet good :D

Roast Chicken and Mushroom Fussili


I love pasta dishes! I'm a big fan of pasta so I know what's good and not. I'm not really pihikan, because I eat simple karinderya spaghetti that others may find bleh. 

This dish is very delish. Just the right amount of sauce and the roast chicken is tender. Mushroom is very nice! This dish can fit for two people! It's a lot! 

I also noticed that they had the right kind of pasta, and I think choosing fussili is right!

Lasagna


I'd highly recommend you try this one! It's very very very delish! It's so cheesy and tomatoey! Italians might find it as "too much sauce" but for filipinos who crave for a tomato sauce dish! Hooray! It tasted so good! I wanted to steal this from Steven but mushroom fussili is good too!! Hahaha!

But the amount is small. Bitin! sobra! Hahaha! I suggest you get two orders of this! Hahaha! Jk!

Lovely Wall!


The overall ambiance of the cafe is very nice! Even though my shot didn't gave justive to it. :D

BIG COOKIE!!!

Ofcourse, we didn't forgot to buy a pastry! We were full, but never say no to pastries!

The cookie was big, I think we bought Chocolate Chip Cookie which costs P55. It's one of the best cookie I ever tasted in my entire life!

Steven and I ♥


We were satisfied that night and very happy! Thank you CBTL for saving our night! Off we went to Star City! Look out for my next post!
