coffee – HeaRty's Haven

Figaro Coffee Company
2/F Power Plant Mall, Rockwell Center, Makati City

After lunch at Cibo, we went straight to Figaro. Coffee, desserts & more conversations happened there. It’s just funny that whenever we meet, it’s always at powerplant mall. The thing is, coffee place is always at Figaro Coffee Company. I figured my friends really love it in Figaro considering there are about 3 more coffee places in the same mall.

Figaro has this homey feeling because of how the place was designed. Wooden doors, wooden chairs & tables, cute little lamps all over the place, it’s very unique. You can really tell that you’re in Figaro. The drinks are kinda same as the other coffee places though. So I guess this really boils down to preference as to where people enjoy to hang out.

Here are what we ordered:

Mocha Frost (Php 125)

White Chocolate Mocha (Php 105)

Cafe Americano (Php 75)

Cheese Muffin (Php 55)

Oatmeal Fudge Bar (Php 55)

Their orange juice & iced tea are some drinks that we should try in Figaro. Especially the Iced tea, which I think is very unique. Another must-have from Figaro is their “my little Oscar” which unfortunately was unavailable at the time. Our Figaro Coffee Experience photos can be found here.

I didn’t notice if Figaro has their own version of the 2010 planner but anyhow, I already have one so that’s okay 🙂

Earlier today, I met up with 2 of my closest female friends. We meet up every now and then, usually 2-3 times a year. We either meet up for coffee, dinner or lunch. Since Shar is already married & Stef is busy with her work & social life, we just catch up and have our very girl talk on rare meetup occasions.

This time around, we decided to go to Powerplant. It has been such a long time since I last visited Powerplant mall. It has really changed a lot. One place that really caught my eye was Seattle’s Best Coffee.

I especially love the look of the Seattle’s Best! The lighting on the ceiling are just super cool & unique. It just made Seattle’s Best coffee a great place to hang out in & be comfortable in. We were supposed to meet at a different coffee place but I asked if we could just move it in Seattle’s Best Coffee hehehe 😛

Our girl bonding pictures can be found here. I hope we see each other soon again. Let’s see if we can make this a regular thing instead of just when we’re free.

Here are what we ordered:

Classic Javanilla Shake (Php 155)

I remember a friend mentioned that this was the best drink he ever tasted hahaha. I have yet to order this drink. I will definitely do next time. Earlier, I ordered White Chocolate Mocha, so I’ll just sample Javanilla on my next visit to Seattle’s Best Coffee.

White Chocolate Mocha (Php 135)

This has always been my favorite drink at Seattle’s Best. I just cannot get enough of it. I can’t seem to make myself try the other drink that the coffee shop offers. I just love the way this was made and ofcourse, White Chocolate has always been my favorite! 😀

Macaroons (Php 45)

Looks yummy but I wasn’t hungry so I didn’t order. My friend Shar ordered this. 🙂

Butterscotch Bar (Php 60)

Java Chip Javakula (Php 145)

Aside from the awesome coffee, Seattle’s Best Coffee also offer Planners for year 2010. I actually like this better than the ones being offered by Starbucks. My reason is that this doesn’t have the dates written all over the book. Seattle’s Best version is more of a notebook. So just in case, we aren’t able to use it, you can still use it the year after. Like Starbucks, you need stamps. This one you just need to have 20 stamps.
