Bag of Beans, Tagaytay

Had the pleasure of visiting Tagaytay once again and since I'm from QC, a trip down south doesn't happen that often. The drive was leisurely and stress-free. Twas in fact, the perfect lazy Sunday afternoon drive.

I've always seen Tagaytay as a food haven. Personal favorites are Antonio's, Breakfast at Antonio's, Sonya's Garden, and Santuario (before they moved to the Rotonda). I've heard very good reviews about Bag of Beans and decided to break my usual Tagaytay fare by checking it out.

Coffee was good and strong. Had the barako blend and til early in the evening I was still quite giddy from the caffeine. Barako, in my opinion, is best taken black --to get a better feel of the strong, earthy flavor which is muddled when diluted with cream or milk. We also had some of their desserts --chocolate mousse, pineapple pie (which was pleasantly sour. yum!), apple pie, and blueberry cheesecake. But the hands down winner was the cinnamon roll. It was generously packed with cinnamon and the bread was pleasantly soft. I was planning on taking home a dozen but they were sold out by the time we were about to leave. Yes, they're that good.

The only thing I didn't quite like was that service was slow. But then again, if you're in Tagaytay on a slow, Sunday afternoon, what's the hurry?
