I enjoyed great coffee and cakes in Kasagingan with my high school friends one Saturday evening. Nothing complements fulfilling conversations better than coffee, sweet cakes, and a close-knit table. Kasagingan is famous for its creative coffee shop design which is mainly inspired by anything that has to do with bananas (Kasagingan is a Visayan word for Banana Farm). There are posters of monkeys and their “monkey business”, bananas in gourmet humor. The coffee shop is a must-visit during the evening where their outdoor coffee shop is illuminated by banana leaf-inspired light installations and gazebos. They also have printing services nearby to cater to busy students and professionals making the most out of the coffee shop's free WiFi.
The coffee shop offers hot and cold coffee, beer, fraps, cakes, pastas, and other meals - so you have a lot to explore. You should check out there banana coffee - which after drinking makes you feel that you have eaten a whole bunch of bananas! My friends and I tried on some of their cakes (Mango Cream Cheesecake, Blueberry Cream Cheesecake, Cheesecake on Oreo, and Tiramisu) which cost from Php 60.00 - Php 120.00 (converted to dollars that would be barely USD 1.00 - USD 4.00 each!). But never mind the price, each bite is heavenly and it complements well with their hot coffee (I had some Café Americano at that time). I shall say it was all bliss, happiness, joy, fun, love, and extreme exhilaration for me. I love fine dining with the camaraderie of your greatest friends on the table…
