Food Trip in Maginhawa: Roberta Flavors of Asia, Cupcakes by Gremlins, and Cool Beans

This blog post is the 3rd one highlighting three restaurants in Maginhawa Street.

Previously, I've been to Crazy Katsu, Fancy Crepes, and Fruili Trattoria along Maginhawa Street inside the U.P. Village, Quezon City, Philippines. Yesterday (since it was a holiday), Jomar and I had our holiday date. We decided to eat somewhere in Maginhawa.

Roberta Flavors of Asia (formerly called, Roberta Seafood Cantina)

For lunch we went to Roberta, we ordered, Salt & Lemon Pepper Squid, Gising-Gising, Bagoong Rice, and Herbed Rice. Nothing was outstanding about what we ate. It was sad. The only consolation is the Herbed Rice which tasted fine.

Cupcakes by Gremlins

It's pretty new to the Maginhawa. At best I would say it's two months old. It was nothing extraordinary. Jomar and I had the Red Velvet Cupcake and Hersheys Cupcake.

Cool Beans

This place is new! As of this writing, they are on Soft Opening. The reason we went here is that we're going to registered to join the DoMinion run. I fell in love with the coffee shop (it does not only serve coffee, btw, they also serve rice meal - their menu reminded me of Beanhoppers). They serve the most delicious Red Velvet Cupcake (yes, my second one for the day) and they have magazines and books free for reading. Near the door was a magazine rack full of Nat Geo magazines. I will be coming back.

Delicious Red Velvet Cupcake

Looking at more places to eat soon. :)
