Recently, days have been challenging as we've had to balance expenses, savings, and building a house at the same time. Of course, we are now adults dealing with responsibilities. As much as it stresses us out, we still wanted to make time to have dinner out. And just days ago, we decided to go to the popular Café De La Mer (CDLM) in the neighboring town.
When we got to the café, we felt the cozy vibe through the interiors of the place - a welcoming ambiance indeed. The counter was perfectly positioned as accessible as possible for customers. And the staff greeted us joyfully as we passed through the door.
We started checking out the menu they gave us. They offer a lot of coffee, fruit drinks, and snacks. My partner wanted me to decide what coffee he should try tonight, while my nephew requested an apple-flavored fruit drink.
After ordering our drinks, I asked for their best-selling snacks and was told I should get their famous cheesy nachos. Of course, as someone who had just arrived, I trusted them.
We waited for about 15 minutes before they finally served our drinks. I got myself a matcha coffee, my partner had a frappe, and my nephew got his apple-flavored fruit drink.
It took them another 5 minutes before serving our cheesy nachos. As soon as we saw the plate, we knew we had the perfect order for tonight. It was enough for the three of us since we were not looking forward to having a heavy meal tonight, just a light snack with good coffee.
We started eating and sipping while checking out the cafe's surroundings. There are truly a lot of people going in here; no wonder it's hyped up on social media.
Their coffee was made perfectly, as well as the other drinks. We also enjoyed the unique taste of their cheesy nachos, a perfect snack with our drinks. Overall, it was an amazing night for the three of us. We will definitely go back here and try more of what's on their menu.
