A wise man once told me that if you plan to put up a business, you need to have a unique concept and you have to make sure that it works. I shall name that wiz, Thor Balanon. ;)
My family has developed this habit of pigging out every Sunday after attending church and to be honest with you, it's actually my favorite family activity! Few weeks ago while walking along the MOLITO commercial complex along Alabang, my family and I found this cute cafe with a quirky signage. The name of course rang a bell already because it came from the same owners of renowned flower shop DESIGNER BLOOMS. I badly wanted to go in that night but they were about to close already. After that night I told my family how we should come back and try what's in store for us in that quaint cafe.
Last Sunday, I finally had the chance to come in and actually experience DESIGNER BLOOMS CAFE and what my friend Thor said about how concept matters made me realize that it's indeed true. I loved the eclectic style of Interiors of the place, it's the kind of mash up of different furniture styles, colors, and patterns, but they meshed well together and formed a beautiful place for dining and appreciating the little quirks of the items you can find inside.
I love how they randomly placed different styles and sizes of mirrors to spruce up with brick accent wall. It gave out a dainty, shabby chic feel to the place.
Whoever said patterns with patterns never work? With the right kind you'd definitely achieve something.
I get so excited over bright colors and patterns. When I saw these coasters, I wanted to just buy them and take it home! It gave a really nice contrast against the solid wood table top they have.
In one corner of the cafe you'd find this traditional Filipino arm chair with solihiya paired up with a mod polka dot throw pillow.
That's my parents and my boyfriend discussing dessert over dessert. How deliciously redundant can that sound? ;)
I wanted to take this chair home and use it as my study chair. I can see myself in the middle of a breezy room with nothing but a long table, my laptop, and this chair.
Outdoor dining is not always all about having it outdoors. You can achieve the same feel indoors as well.
Here are some pretty stuff you can see around the place. If you're a cooking freak or you just love collecting different herbs, this place is for you!
I'm coming back for these on my next visit! I love succulents!
What is a Designer Blooms brand without its beautiful and colorful blooms?
What's the purpose of my visit if we didn't try any food? If you ask me how I would rate the food, please don't because as long as there's cheese involved in my order...I have no complaints! But to be honest, the food was good and worth every penny!
Butter pop corn was served while we were waiting for our orders
My dad's spinach sandwich
My mom'd carbonara. Say it with me - BACON ON TOP.
I really loved my Truffle Mac n Cheese! I wish I had more bacon though :P
We ended the night with a sugar high! We actually got another order of the Lemon Torte but right when I was about to take a photo of it, it was halfway finished :-P
A family that pigs out together, stays together.
Till the next family getaway! Thank you DESIGNER BLOOMS CAFE crew for being so friendly and accommodating. We really had a great time and you'll definitely see more of us in the next few days to come ;)
