My sister Lovely and I , tried for the first time LOKAL, it’s one the newest restaurant and bar in the City.

We took a break from a very busy volunteering schedule to get to know their desserts and their good coffee.

Lovely ordered Jasmine Tea (for its calming effect) and Crispy Cake, a fried dough topped with vanilla ice cream and drizzled with chocolate syrup. Surprisingly delicious!!! A refreshing taste in one hot afternoon.

Meanwhile I ordered the classic Blueberry Cheesecake and Brewed Coffee. The cheesecake gave a velvety soft texture while the coffee is so strong it gave me energy for a very long day of monitoring the election results. Trust me it kept me awake until 6AM. I guess that is the true test of one good coffee.

We spent P300 (6USD) for this sweet break time.

I rate LOKAL  8 out 10 because  their desserts and coffee are delectable. Wifi connection is not good though, still  I  will come back again to try their food next time.
