Caffe La Tea Review - Openrice PH Food Tasting Event
5:40:00 PM
This is my second time for Openrice food tasting event and I am very happy that they are inviting me. Last February 24, food bloggers are gathered to check and try Caffe La Tea's menu. I was just in time when I arrived the place. Jeremiah Santos which is called by the name of Jerro, the Marketing Consultant and Author/Blogger of Gourmanila introduced to us their menus and story behind of the cafe.

For their milk tea and coffee, the price ranges from P50-P129 (Grande 500ml) and P65-P149 (Venti 700ml). Their best seller is Harajuku which is a combination of fuzzy melon + dark cocoa + coffee jelly + secret twist. That secret twist is the popping pearl. For me, I tried their Cookies and Cream Milktea Smoothies because that's my favorite flavor.
To be honest with you, I really don't like milktea. I just don't like the after taste of tea, but the Caffe La Tea milktea is different. I enjoyed it and there's no after taste. The flavor is in there, also the taste of tea but in a sweet and delightful way. Without being biased, this is the only milktea that I finished drinking.
Let's talk about their foods. They have variety of food to choose from. Rice toppings, appetizers, salads, pasta, sandwiches, and pastries.
APPETIZER
Chili Bombs surprisingly is not spicy. It consist of green chili, ham and cheese with mayo garlic sauce. Mozza lava sticks has mozarella and pomodoro perfect match with marinara sauce.
Chiz Buko is quite different from lumpia that we used to. Instead of togue and giniling, this appetizer has buco strips, vegies, ham and cheese.
RICE TOPPINGS
Cabsy means Cabanatuan and their longganisa is really a must try. I remember in Ka Tunying's Cafe, they also has Cabanatuan longganisa which they called in their menu as batutay.
PASTA
All of their pasta really taste good and delicious but the pasta that standout for me is Truffle Pasta. The main ingredient is wild mushroom and truffle oil. So far, this is the best pasta I tasted in my life. I mean it. So if you're going to visit this cafe, try the truffle pasta.
PASTRIES
If you are not into foods and pasta, why don't you try their cupcakes. It's perfect company for milk tea and coffee. I only tasted their New York Oreo cupcake and I am already falling in love with it's flavor and moist. I'm not a cupcake lover but this cupcake is an exemption. My blogger friends told me that Bannoffee Pie is the best. One of the attendee, bought one box of it.
It's really a sumptuous and wonderful feeling to dine and experience this delightful meals from Caffe La Tea. I've been recommending this to my friends and will definitely come back here. It's a cafe that provide you quality products and food in a very affordable price. Will you believe me if I say that the most expensive food they offer cost P169? Yes it's true so you don't have to worry, it's not gonna mess your budget.

There's a branch in Tarlac located near at the University, 2-3 minute ride. And I must say, their pastries are the best! Specially the smores and red velvet.

ReplyDeleteAng bilis nga naubos ng Mozza Lava Sticks. It taste so good especially with it's dipping marinara sauce.
DeleteWell, that is the perk of being invited to events. You get to taste foods. Some you like, some you don't. Some as expected, some totally unexpected.
ReplyDeleteYou're right Robert. The good thing is we all enjoyed the event.
DeleteIs that near Munoz Market, Congressional Avenue? It's nice that they have these savory food which will be perfect with the sweet tea. I'd love to eat there one of these days.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are quite near. 1.6 km apart, this Caffe is beside Starbucks Congressional. I hope you visit this Caffe with your children.
DeleteI was invited for this but I couldn't commit because it was too far :( It would have been nice to finally meet you in person.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the drinks looks tasty! I too hate tea before but it was because of the milk tea products that became a trend that made me love it. I have to try theirs when I'm around the area :)
Sayang naman Louise. Hope to see you on their next event.
DeleteAwww. Their food looks really yummy. I'm glad to know it's also very affordable too. Hehe. I hope they also open here in Alabang although I don't mind going to QC to try it too :)
ReplyDeleteYes they are very affordable compare with other Caffe. Hope you visit this place someday and enjoy their menus.
DeleteWow! You're very lucky to attend such kind of event, all the food looks great :) I want to try their pasta and liempo. :)
ReplyDeleteYes I am. Thanks Arriane. Their pasta is a must try.
DeleteYumm... the food picture are delightful. *Mouth-watering*
ReplyDeleteWow. Lucky you! I love its pasta, pastiries and combos. Will surely try this place. ;)
ReplyDeleteAh we're the same, the reason why I am not a big fan of Milk tea is because of the after taste but the pictures you posted here are really tempting.
ReplyDeleteThe dishes looks really great too! I hope I can visit this shop soon
I might as well try that OpenSnap to locate other great shops near my place and have the idea of how much their menu cost too
Thanks bluedreamer :) I'm glad we're feeling the same with milkteas. Hope you enjoy Opensnap application.
DeleteUghh!! mouthwatering cupcakes!! Too bad Im too far OTL
ReplyDeleteThis tea house in non-traditional because they offer rice meals, haha! But I would love to try their crispy binagoongan and dinuguan. Good to hear that the resto is just at QC.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try the crispy dinuguan along with the milktea...
