Caffe Bene: Sunday Morning Gelato and Cake

On one Sunday morning, we decided to take a short pre-lunch munch at Caffe Bene, SMX MOA Branch.

Once you step into Caffe Bene, the cozy interiors make you forget that you are actually in a convention center.

Their shelves are lined up with books and other interesting pieces like this mini pay phone.

Gelato

A number of flavors were available that day. They offer free taste to help you decide what flavor to get. I tried 5 flavors before I decided on the 2 scoops I bought. In the end, I chose one tart flavor, and one sweet flavor.

Bene Gelato: Yogurt

There is something attractive about the sour tart taste of yogurt.

Bene Gelato: Speculoos

Under the yogurt gelato scoop lies a cold treat for the sweeter side of your taste buds - the Speculoos gelato. I bet this is one of their best sellers. Look how little of it is left on display!

Mango Crunch Cake

And on another Sunday morning, we went back to try one of their cakes. Alternating layers of crunch and cake would go well with coffee.

Too bad they do not offer their bingsu and waffles at this branch. Also, this branch is only open when there are events at SMX.

Cafe Mary Grace: Mango Bene

Cake has always been present in our family’s birthday celebrations. For the first celebrant of the year, we bought something from Cafe Mary Grace, the Mango Bene.

Suspense.
Take a glimpse of the cake inside the box.

Now inside…

…just look at those mangoes on top of the cream – fully covered with mangoes.

We have been craving for a good mango cake and Mango Bene was the answer. “Bene” means “good” in Italian

Alternating layers of mangoes, cream, and meringue. Yes, there are mangoes inside the cake as well. The layering made the texture interesting. There were different kinds of sweetness as well. Sugary meringue, fluffy cream, fruity taste from the mangoes equals satisfied cake lovers.



Let's have another look at that cake…

Happy Birthday, indeed.
