Dorissimo

The place is quite spacious, both inside and outside.If you want to enjoy your food in a cold and comfy space, go inside. There are books in the wall shelves that you can enjoy. There are also artsy drawings using colored chalks on their walls and on the ceiling. When we went there, there's this art of a fairy with words written with it. It says,"You can stay there and it's not fair. Those were the days when we laughed all the while when the fireflies lit up our skies. Those were the nights when the world made us smile."Want to enjoy loud conversation while puffing a cig? Then stay outside. There were several chairs and tables there you can use.This is my second time here. I tried their Tiramisu, and Wild Berries tea on my first visit but unfortunately, I didn't enjoy the Tiramisu. I fell in love with the tea though. I think it's the lime in the Tiramisu. :(But hey, I decided to give Dorissimo a second chance! This time, I tried their ChocoCookies cheesecake and their Peppermint tea while my friends tried their rice meals.Since I am from the malayong probinsya ng Batangas (not really that far), I'm not used to different kinds of food (and desserts!). When I first tried a cheesecake and fell in love with it, I always crave for the majestic cheesecake and I almost always ask for it. However, the one I tried in Dorissimo failed to amaze me. There is nothing to fell in love with it. It's not that sweet and I can't really taste the flavor/chocolate. It's bland. The tea was okay but I prefer the Wild Berries more.For the price, my friends told me that their rice meals are worth Php 160.00 on the average. A bit too pricey for us, considering the serving and the quality and taste of the food.This is the second time Dorissimo failed me with their desserts. :( I don't know if it's just the flavors that don't sit well with me or their desserts are just... a failure for me.

If you are looking for a coffee type ambience, you are in the correct spot. The place is nice and is spacious for groups of 5-10 persons. The sounds suits well with its surrounding. You would love to borrow and read the displayed books or may wanted to discover the mystery behind the chalk-based mural drawn on the wall - very creative, lovely, artistic and meaningful. I find the cake and coffee done perfectly fine.

We ordered chocolate caramel and bacon carbonara which is their best seller. I really like the pasta. I love the cozy place with books as displays. Also, thumbs up to their staff that were very accommodating. I'll be back to try something else at their menu.

We were greeted by the humble owner, Ms Doris, on a Saturday pig-out with peeps. When I learned that they are baking their own cakes, my enthusiasm doubled. The owner made sure guaranteed that they only used freshest and finest ingredients, no artificial sweeteners. I can attest that their cakes weren't that sweet. Although they were serving coffee, I can say that it wasn't their best product. Their coffees could further improve on the boldness of the taste, acidity and flavor.Al fresco and air-conditioned dining areas are available. Great venue to catch up with friends! Plus, one of their walls were adorned with books! What's not to love? Hihi.

It was our first time in Maginhawa and we were so tired due to a very long walk.. we saw that Dorissimo was a cute place to be that's why we decided to eat there...unfortunately I didnt like their rice meals it was a bit expensive and di naman masarap for students like us but their pastries looks very nice and tasty the place is best for bookworms

The first time we tried the place, my daughter instantly loved the decor and the chalkboard painted walls...especially their red velvet cupcakes. So, we decided to drop by 3 days after. My daughter ordered her fave cupcake. While eating she said, "Mom, it taste different." When I opened the cupcake, it was doughy and dense inside...it was underbaked. To my daughter's dismay she said, "Let's go mom, this is a waste of money."

You need to hang out at Dorissimo in the morning for you to feel the perfect ambiance. The books, the wall filled with chalk drawings and phrases. It goes well along with their peppermint tea and cheesecake. Their pastries are good, and so are their pastas, though it was a little dry for me (I tried the carbonara). All in all, good food, great place, nice staff.

This place was nice. The interior was really kinda student friendly and all. The staff were very accommodating as well. But i kinda dont like the brazo it tast like it has too many egg yolks that it turned out not so creamy. But the beverages and cheesecake was good though and my boyfriend finished it all

I liked the place because it has books and it isn't crowded. I was surprised when my mango cheesecake was served because it has an almost jelly-like texture, but it's good. The coffee was okay.

My friends and I were on a Maginhawa food trip. Dorissimo was our second stop that Friday night. We ordered mango shake, red velvet cupcake, choco caramel mini cake, and slices of blueberry cheesecake and chococookies cheesecake.They forgot to serve the shake and the chococookies cheesecake. We waited. And waited. We had to cancel those orders because, at that point, my friends were already in a bad mood and we were anxious to go to our next stop to redeem the Maginhawa food trip pizzazz. I love cheesecakes but Dorissimo lost it for me. My blueberry cheesecake jiggles. It was not firm and the taste was of gelatin and whipped cream. And here I thought cheesecakes were supposed to have cream cheese. At least my friends liked the graham crust. If only Dorissimo’s cheesecake were made entirely of crushed grahams then this review would have been less harsh. The red velvet cupcake tasted like your ordinary bread from round-the-corner bakeries.We liked the caramel on the mini cake. The cake was moist without being too oily. The choco part of the cake, however, lacked something and that something was chocolate. Overall it was too sweet and the taste was not balanced. The sweetness of the caramel should have been countered by a stronger, slightly bitter chocolate cake base. Needless to say, our experience at Dorissimo was a gastronomic failure.
