Banapple

This quaint cafe located at 206 Katipunan Avenue extension is one of the yummiest and value-for-money food discoveries of 2009.

There are two closely located Banapple outlets in the Katipunan area. It looks like the original location became too small for their ever-growing number of patrons that they needed to open another outlet just across the street.

Thank goodness that they did because the original cafe is always full and a queue almost always fills it up leaving little leg room for when you have to go to the wash room or get into line again to order deserts as the cafe has a pay as you order system.

Even though there is still that queue to deal with it is way better now since they are able to accommodate more people and has an al fresco second level to offer. Plus they also have kept the original outlet which is a strategically sound way of keeping the customers coming.

You will love this place for their generous servings of entrées and cakes -the cheesecakes are heaven sent, and the refreshingly sweet homemade classic ice tea that tastes even better with a lot of ice.

This is a backtrack entry on food but is just as fresh since lunch was eaten there today. The opportunity to introduce this favourite haunt as a lunch meeting venue was just deliciously irresistible.

Live, laugh, love and eat!
