Cafe Caudal ~ Spot on Desserts

 Nothing beats a hot cup of coffee taken with heavenly tasting desserts in the company of good old (but still sexy and pretty) friends.

 

Our latest coffee shop discovery is Cafe' Caudal in Taytay Rizal.

 

It is owned by Karen Louise Caudal, a nurse turned coffee shop proprietress, whose passion for baking is evident in her delectable ~ cakes, cupcakes and dessert creations.

 

 

 

Cafe' Caudal is a beautifully decorated-modish cafe'. It is hard not to notice the details that went to decorating this shop.

 

 

The place can seat 20-25 pax comfortably.  And could easily house small events and gatherings. 

 

 

 

Coffee selection is blackboard long (with the average coffee price of P70 per cup). There were so many to choose from.  However, I like mine plain and simple, so I opted for a Café Americano, while a friend ordered Latte.

  

Cream~creamy Latte!

 

 

 Oh so many decisions. It was so hard to choose, so we went for the owner's recommendation and ordered Tres Leche's cake.

 

The other cakes look as tempting.

 

Tres Leches (P800/whole, P100/slice) was a perfect choice. It was moist and creamy, sweetened just right.  No wonder it is a best seller.

 

We also ordered Red Velvet Orea Cupcake and a Blueberry Cupcake. Both were equally luscious.

I love Cafe' Caudal's cupcakes so much ~ I had to buy to go, for my husband and kids as "pasalubong".

 

 

 

 Cafe' Caudal also serves sandwiches, pasta and rice meal. We were unable to try them, since we just had dinner.  Worth a try, the next time I am back.

Magnum Manila Review ~ Heaven Sent Dessert

What do you say to a Magnum Bar, with three (3) of your choice toppings, on a super hot afternoon? 

 

It was obviously a big YES (with a huge GRIN) for me and my boys. 

 

I have been wanting to try Magnum Manila's "make-your-own" ice cream bar, but the long queues is such a turn-off.  

 

We were back at SM Aura last week, and the queues were not as long ~ Yipee!

 

 

 A DIY Magnum Bar cost P100. 

 

 

 

After paying, a crew takes in your choices of three (3) toppings...

 

(Tip: There are so many toppings to choose from, if you are not certain, get the toppings labelled "best seller")

 

 

 

 You  would be asked, whether you want a vanilla or a chocolate bar; and preference of chocolate coating: dark chocolate, white chocolate or milk chocolate.  

 

 

The ice cream bar is dipped into the chocolate coating and the toppings are then sprinkled to the ice cream bar, and "tada", the bestEST Magnum Bar ever!!!

 

 

 

 My choice: vanilla ice cream, dipped in dark chocolate with almonds, marsh mallow and choco dots for toppings. 

 

 

My boy is so proud of his own ice cream creation. 

 

I guess we will be back again soon (hopefully without queues)!

 

 

 

Magnum Manila is located at the 5F Skypark, SM Aura
