Tristian's Cafe: Coffee, Pastries and Ice Cream

Share this PostPin ThisShare on TumblrShare on Google PlusEmail This

Someone I know said that the best blueberry cheesecake he ever tasted was here at Tristian's Cafe. He sounded so convincing that when we passed by Paseo de Sta. Rosa in Laguna, we had to try for ourselves.

Ratings:
Food: 3/5, the food here are average but they sure are a welcome break from the pastries and beverage we get at the more popular coffee houses.
Place: 4/5, it was not crowded each time we visited so it's good
Service: 3/5, average

The Food
As strongly recommended by someone we know, we had to try the blueberry cheesecake here. Their blueberry cheesecake may have the heaviest amount of cheese on any cheesecake I have eaten. For me, I have to agree that it's good, but it's not the best. What I liked about it is that it's not that sweet, its serving is quite big and of course, it's overloaded with cheese

They also have other pastries like the walnut cake below. Their food serving here is kinda bigger than the other cafes but it comes with a price because for a coffee shop located in the suburbs, the food here are a little expensive.


For the hot summer weather, you can hangout at this place and order some ice cream or frappe. Their ice creams are softer than the normal ones, and are a lot creamier.

Beverages
Choose from an assortment of hot and cold beverages. There are the usual hot coffee, frappes, and fruit-flavored smoothies.


Mango Smoothie

Choco Blend

Capuccino


Strawberry Smoothie


The Place
If you want to enjoy coffee without the crowd, go to this shop. There's not once, every time we pass by this place, that I've seen all the tables filled. It's not that the food here ain't good. Probably, it's more because of the price. The place has a classy feel into it, though, especially the lamps and the paintings.


Tips for Wandering Peasants
  • if you want to try their ice cream, there are cheaper ice creams on their menu and surprisingly, those are the ones that came with a cone. Probably not as rich-tasting as the ones we tried, though.
  • prices here are kinda steep for a coffee shop located in the suburbs, so share a cake when necessary
  • try this shop, it's nice to veer away from the popular coffee shops once in a while. No crowd here :)
