Been here once and accidentally started collecting stamps. One of their holiday drinks is my current favorite: The Double Chocolate Raspberry Latte/Blended beverage. It reminds me of Raspberry Rapture from FIC, but in liquid form. We also got an iced African Sunrise, which was lovely. Lots of seats, but sadly no outlets.

If you like ube, I suggest you go and check out CBTL's ube cheesecake. It's one of their new cakes for the season; together with the strawberry shortcake. The ube cheesecake had a distinct purple yam taste with a bit of tang. Nice smooth texture with a bit of dessicated coconut on top. The strawberry shortcake had a slight sourness to it. Still pretty good, but the three of us preferred the ube cheesecake. Of course, our Moroccan mint lattes!😊#whatthedokieordered

A good place to work or study since it's quiet.However, there's only one socket available. Better be there early to secure that spot. If you ever get that spot, downside is the table is too low. Will make your neck hurt looking at your laptop.I suggest they add more sockets especially that a huge number of their customers are students who find their place suitable for studying. Doesn't have to be in every table. At least two in every area.With regards to food, I always get tomato & herb. Never fails. Consistent taste across all branches I went to 👍🏻

A typical second wave coffee shop where the ambiance is heavy industrialized with a relaxing feel. But there are times that it becomes crowded that it is very hard to have good conversation and the audio they are playing adds to the noise. For a typical regular cappuccino and iced cafe latte, it takes about 10 minutes or more to be served. And the bad thing is that I think their employees or partners doesn't know about coffee at all. I asked all of them and they don't seem to know where their coffee comes from. I think they need to revisit their coffee101 class.

📍 PROMO ALERT 📍Wanting to redeem a CBTL planner, but can't seem to complete the 12 stamps for it? Do not fret, as they're having their Double Stamp Weekend until today! Head over to any CBTL branch to avail. 😉I came here with my college friends yesterday to chill after our dinner. We arrived at around 10:30 pm. The line was quite long, but nothing untolerable. 😂 I got the Pure Double Chocolate Ice Blended (Php 155 - Regular) since I can't drink coffee. I loved it because it wasn't too sweet but is very chocolatey. 💕 It was really easy to drink. 😁 Easily a 5⭐ for me!We chatted for a while and soon, it was almost 11:30PM. I learned from the cashier earlier that they close at 12MN. Lo and behold, the manager (?) came by and reminded us they close at 12MN, seemingly trying to tell us to leave. It was ok though, but what irked us the most was that he only approached us and not the other customers! After a short while, he came back again and told us that they close at 12MN. We were actually about to leave, but I was REALLY annoyed at how he's asking us to leave when he didn't even approach any of the other customers. I understand that it's about closing time already, but I hope they aren't partial in asking us to leave. 😟Drinks and ambiance were both great, but the service made me really sad and offended. 😭💔 Not sure if I will ever visit this branch again. #EatDrinkSplurge

We rarely eat at CBTL but this was one of those times we did. The Greek salad is well portioned and filling, with feta and black olives. It'll keep you going for the rest of the day. I also like that they have wifi for loyalty customers and will serve your warm drink in a mug if you aren't buying to go. The berry cheesecake from Classic Confections is also here! It's my favorite berry swirl cheesecake of the moment, with lots of raspberry flavor. Please try it sometime and thank me later. Update: that cheesecake is no longer there, but the classic cheesecake does just as well.Trying out more of their teas. Their chamomile has a beautiful floral scent, of much higher quality than many brands. Worth the P120 absolutely.

This is our go-to cafe for meetings, hang outs, and date nights whenever we’re at U.P. Town Center! Downside is, there are no available outlets do us to charge our electronic devices. WiFi is pretty decent and I prefer CBTL’s drinks than any other cafes.

Trying the Red Velvet Muffin of CBTL. Well, it taste moist but I still go for the original one topped with cream. Overall it was okay especially pairing the muffin with americano.#ilovetoeatph 😃❤️
