Cara Mia Cakes & Gelato

Caramia has this quaint little space at the new wing of Festivall Mall. Since this is a kiosk, the place has very limited seating capacity. I tried the Midnight Dream cake and it was really good. Its a chocolate cake with caramelized cashews that adds a crunch to the cake.

When you visit a restaurant, fastfood, or ice cream store, you do not automatically like 'everything' but it takes 'only one thing' for you to try the rest, one at a time.If you love turtle pie (Sugar House, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf), then Caramia's turtle pie gelato will drive you crazy. You would not believe it really tastes like turtle pie. Is it turtle pie converted to gelato? I have never come across any other ice cream store that offers this flavor.I admit that it is so flavorful (with the pecans, chocolate, and all) and even its after-taste is still unbearably sweet. So, I recommend just a scoop. More than that and it is already overdose.I got so accustomed to this that my visit is not complete if I do not have one scoop of their turtle pie gelato and then the second scoop goes to another flavor I have not tasted yet (they do have other delightful and unique gelato flavors).I quit Dairy Queen when I experienced Cold Stone. I threw this 'stone' away when I discovered Caramia's turtle pie gelato - a flavor like no other. It became my favorite!Surprisingly, the store manager is adept with excellent customer service. First time I visited, I really appreciated her concern and sincerity when she cheerfully offered me a glass of water without me asking (since the turtle pie gelato is too delicious, yet too sweet). I have been visiting their booth not more than five times and she gave me two discount coupons - get two gelato scoops for the price of one. She always smiles when I come by to order though she already knows what I will order. I cannot tell yet for other staff of other branches but if you already encounter one warm person in one branch, this is a huge factor for you to always go to that same branch since you foster good customer relation that you cannot just find anywhere.You cannot avoid some passers-by since this is a kiosk. However, you only care and focus on eating this damn good gelato and will need to ignore minor annoyances (those who walk near your cute table and chair, and suddenly cough, or those 'butaws' that infest malls nowadays). I just love this ice cream and NOBODY can spoil my enjoyment!In fact, I am craving for one turtle pie gelato while writing this review. It is just too awesome yummy!Their cakes? Midnight Dream is a great alternative to Black Forest.

Their gelatos are great as well as the ice cream cakes, i only tried choco sansrival, though. A.must.try! Take out is possible since they have this great packaging that keeps the ice cream frozen for 2hrs I guess. A bit pricey but who cares if it's too good? Haha :)
