Since I still got my day off today, I decided to head out in search for a cafe that would fulfill my needs for aesthetic and delicious food. I had my eye on Cafe Folie for a while now, a beautiful french cafe located on the first level of Beachwalk Shopping Center. I was immediately sold when I saw the tableware that they use to serve the guests. They are all very pleasant to look at! Finally, I got my chance today and I visit the lovely cafe during brunch time.
Instead of coffee, I settled for their loose leaf tea. The one I had was the French Rose Buds Vanilla, which was served in a beautiful porcelain cup that has drawings of roses on it, and it only took five minutes for my hot beverage to be served after I placed my order. Each serving of this loose leaf tea is equal to four cups. The tea had a very strong vanilla flavor and very fruity. It had a very strong vanilla scent, as well as this hint of sweetness which I’m guessing derives from the rose petals.
I decided to have a cake as well for companion. They have a wide variety of petite cakes and pastry and I really had a hard time choosing because they all looked very pretty, so I gave the decision to my boyfriend. The choice fell to the Blueberry Cheesecake that was purple in color, decorated by crushed peanuts on the side, complete with a dollop of whipped cream and slices of berry on the top. This cake was very beautiful, and it gave me an irrational thought about how it looks like a moe version of Thanos.
Very light and creamy this cake was. The texture was very milky and creamy, while the purple layer had a rather gelatin-like texture. I really love the combination flavor of the crushed peanuts and the cheesecake itself, sweet and savory at the same time. Inside the cake was a generous amount of blueberry compote that tasted nothing but sour. I’m not a big fan of berries on cake, but this blueberry compote managed to balance the overwhelming sweet cream that dominated my tastebud.
The service here exceeded expectation. The waiters and waitress treated me like I was some kind of a royalty, which is nice once in a while. I brought my laptop with me and they were keen enough to offer me a table that has electric sockets nearby. I also added a bit of, “I need a table with less crowd surrounding it,” and they immediately assist me to this particular corner that fulfilled my needs. Two thumbs up!
