Do you know, that amidst a sea of shoppers, stores, and really horrible traffic in Greenhills, lies an oasis that seems truly heaven sent? On the second level of The Promenade, the quaint (even in such a location) Cafe Publico stands fairly unnoticed- I say this with conviction because Epok completely walked past it. This is a good thing though, because it is able to maintain this kind of cool ambiance and artsy vibe.
"Welcome Rug"
Check!
A tile mosaic "rug" welcomes you in, where immediately you feel like you've been whisked into an authentic parisian patisserie. I seriously looked around for macarons, berets and french speaking people. Instead, my eyes were treated to a wonderful array of mouth-watering gelato flavors (free tasting too!).
The "Sophia Loren" is a combo of Pistachio and Strawberry flavors
I tried the vanilla (of course), thai tea (very unusual tasting), and some others but eventually went for "toothpaste," which tasted like mint and bubblegum. Y-U-M! I can honestly gobble this up by the bucket. Pretty affordable too- one huge scoop for 105 pesos leaves my pockets dent-free. Another big plus is that they also carry coffee, some sandwiches and a few cake desserts- ALL of which i vow to try next time.
All mine!
Surely, I am to carry on with this affair. Bon Apetit!
And i wasn't even informed about this.. I could have tried a gelato instead of the usual milk tea!
