Restock

One mid-week holiday, a friend and I needed to get some work done so we agreed to check out Restock and work there. I had bookmarked this spot for quite a while now and was happy to finally have a reason to check it out.Appearance-wise, it is rather unassuming and I actually almost missed it the first time. The exteriors are black and simple with a bench outside for smokers - it is actually neighbors with restaurant 12/10. The interiors are a completely different story. The aesthetic is quirky and unique, almost homey. I especially loved how they had big windows to let in a lot of light.The air-conditioning was just right from my spot on the long cushioned bench underneath their humongous painting. The wifi speed was awesome and the password was amusing (find out for yourself). The vibe of music they played was also chill and not too loud, which made it easy to concentrate. They also have some pretty cool merchandise on display around the store.Service-wise, they had three baristas on the day we were there that were rather quiet but friendly. It was unfortunate though that they had a lot of items unavailable due to delivery issues - one being their hot chocolate, which I had actually intended on trying.Food-wise, I ordered a Short White (P140) and though I am no coffee connoisseur, I found their version of a Cappuccino slightly bitter and I was too lazy to ask for sugar or syrup. My friend got his own coffee and got us a Margherita (P250) and Margaret (P250) Pizza, which was six slices in total. I would have loved to try their Prosciutto and Fungi-Town but again, these options were not available for that day. The pizza, which actually seemed to be two layered crusts was acceptable. The white sauce Margaret was more of a winner for me. Over-all, I am giving this establishment a 4.0 and am definitely noting it as a must-return spot for when I have to do more over-time on a holiday, random weekday or Saturday. Then again, I actually want to go back just to try their delicious-sounding hot chocolate from Davao.

Restock is one of those places that you go to for their ambiance, and as soon as you enter, you can't help but to fall in love with what you see.  Just be sure to order first as soon as you sit down, so that while waiting for your order, you can take time to gander and capture frames upon frames of the place. But even with that, you'd find that it's mostly expensive here but you won't mind since you're also paying for what you're gazing upon. Their food presentation complements the vibes of the place so be sure to also savor whatever you ordered. If you pass by here and it interests you, don't hesitate to give in to that temptation.For more pictures and reviews, please visit us at : bearslookingforfood.blogspot.com
