The text message from Crisela was “The Coffee Bean” at the Shangrila Plaza Mall. I vaguely remembered a coffee shop beside Cravings on the 4th level (5th?) so I went up the escalators to look for it. Upon seeing the signage “Coffee Beanery” , I knew right away it wasn’t The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf that I often go. It didn’t deter me to check out their cakes and drinks after I was assured that there was no other “Coffee Bean” in the mall.
The Cashew-Durian cake (priced at 95 pesos a slice) piqued my curiousity. I love anything durian, even the fruit. The prices of the drinks seemed reasonable. I ordered the calamansi-mint for 40 pesos. I love how they presented me with my order. So zen-like. Minutes later, Crisela arrived. She apologized that the text meant to say “Coffee Beanery”.
The cake didn’t taste very durian though. The durian bits inside the cake gave most of the flavor.
The drink was too sweet that the minty flavor didn’t come out as I expected. I liked that the sago balls and some gulaman bits. It’s an innovative Filipino drink.
The ambiance and the presentation of the drink and cake made up for it. Best of all, the meeting was a success.
