Cabanatuan Food Trip: Bakerstreet
8:34 AMSo its Monday finally! Why am I excited for Mondays while everyone's bragging about it? My friends and I have a tradition that every Monday we should visit new restaurant's and food places for our lunch or dinner, just to make our Mondays exciting
Let see how it goes.

It lacks the details and proper lighting to create an the ambiance we're looking for, a relaxing, book-reading friendly place, and because its too small I can help but notice hear eeeeeeeveryone talking amp up by the inappropriate choice of music and volume. I'm looking for that "coffee shop feels"
Price ranges from PHP55 - 150 |
Strawberry Yogurt and Kiwi Strawberry (Fruit Drinks)

Nutella Waffles

I could make better waffles than this. It tasted familiar, I had a peek at the counter saw the same brand I always pick up at grocery stores, that's explains it but again for that price, we couldn't expect more.

THE GOOD
For the price, we couldn't ask for more. They offer affordable mixes of the drinks, sweets, pasta and rice dishes suitable for the budget of a student. No wonder majority of the customers we encountered were students from different school and universities. The place provides a decent place to dine and hang out with your friends. Service crew are tentative, courteous, cordial and friendly.
THE BAD
Before we go to this place, we have expected a lot from the food, the place and the ambiance, however Bakerstreets failed to live up with our expectations. It was a decent dining experience. Just lower your expectation before going to the place.
FINAL VERDICT
Again, BakerStreet Cabanatuan provides a decent dining experience. It fails to meet our expectations, however the price is one of the key selling points of this place. Affordability is the difference, though we are willing to pay extra for the a better experience.
Will I be coming back?
Perhaps, but not today nor tomorrow. A year or two maybe?
Bakerstreet Cabanatuan has already started well for it creates a buzz and noise throughout the city upon its opening. In fact, we heard about it through words-of-mouth. In the presence of a lot of competitors which offers variety of great options at a higher price, the market within the place can easily compare the experience, for the competition is tough and other better options are present at that price range.
BakerStreet is still in its infancy stage, though where it tries to dominate its target market. Overtime, I hope it will learn a lot and improve based on the competitions' standard, but for now let's just wait and see what will happen next.
PS: I'll try their coffee and update this post as soon as I get lost near the one their branches.
