Our next stop after Silantro was Lucca Bakery just because we were in UP town center and we wanted something sweet. The place looked nice from the outside, it had a modern feel to it.


I really like the interior of the place. You can see that the place looks clean and modern.

They have a nice looking menu. I really don't know about Lucca bakery but it seems that they have given thought to small things such as this menu, the containers, utensils, chairs and tables which all fit perfectly together.

Wide variety of Beverages

A lot of pastries to choose from

Cute fork

It was a humid day but we still pushed through with our food cravings and ended up in Silantro.
My foodie friend has already tried the food in this Fil-Mex place and she highly recommends the food here.



The place is located at 75 East Capitol Drive. When you are driving, this place is at the left side when you are coming from Shaw Boulevard and at the right side of the road so you just need to find a parking space like we did.


When we arrived at the place, it was late afternoon but just before 5 pm yet we had to be seated outside before we eventually got in because there were a lot of customers.
 

As you can see, their menu is simple and you just have to pick the food you like. I like the design of their menu, the font and drawings were nice to look at.


Here's a glimpse of the food we ordered.

I have passed by Satchmi for a couple of times and I never thought it was also a cafe. I do know that this is a store where they sell vinyl records which is the old storage for music or those black round things that look like a big CD. My cousin wanted to try the cafe because it it was listed as one of the nicest looking cafes in Metro Manila so one afternoon we went to Satchmi :) 



When we ordered our coffee, the barista placed it near this vinyl record players. I was so scared that I might damage these devices so we changed our seat here as seen below.

Flat White and Cafe Mocha

CAFE MOCHA 160.00 pesos

I can say they can make cute coffee art like this cute bunny in this flat white drink.

FLAT WHITE 140.00 PESOS

Here is a video of the coffee making

Dakasi Milk Tea 207 Banawe St. Lourdes, Quezon City

When I first went inside Dakasi, I really liked that its so clean and organized - from the equipments they use to make the milk teas to the designs of the walls. I usually ordered my drink for take-out but when I stayed there to drink my milk tea and just hangout and talk with my friend/brother, it was nice because they really have bright-colored and comfortable chairs.

The Banawe branch is a lot bigger than the other branches in the mall but the milk teas all taste the same in all branches I've tried so far.

Take-out

I've tried several flavors already but I just want to recommend the best ones for me in my opinion and I hope you will like them too. You can order in two sizes: Regular or Large. I have tried mostly the specialty drinks and special milk teas. Other drinks are iced teas, cremes, matcha teas, fruity yoghurt drinks, iced drinks, smoothies and yakult teas which I have yet to try. You can order Hot or cold drinks.

What drinks do I recommend you to try?
