    WORST SERVICE EVER!! I've been in Baguio a lot of times, and I've never experienced this kind of service pair with overpriced food! If it's not for the place, this should be rated lower than one star. Local carenderya is far better. We waited for almost one hour for the food, even if we ordered earlier than others but they were served first. I cancelled my order instead and they just told me that it cannot be cancelled. Instead, they rushed our order. Manager and crew were not accountable to their actions, only one waiter apologize to us. The food taste is NOT REALLY GOOD! Coffee taste like 3-in-1 coffee, and when we asked for creamer they just gave us "coffee mate". Seriously? I will not recommed this cafe, and will never coming back again!

    I am sure everyone had experienced this picturesque hotel in Baguio. It is the most instagramable restaurant. My husband commented that people are coming here to take pictures and not really for the food. I agree. My coffee, I can't complain. My calamari was nothing special. My son's waffles were pink but besides that, it was not extra ordinary. My husband's American breakfast, I believe he enjoyed. So when you go here, expect that the food is just so so but the view and the interior is something to behold. So basically, you are paying for the experience.

    Service was very slow. It was full house and I think only 3 staffs were assisting everyone. They don't smile and looks very tired and done for the job. We ordered calamares which felt like only air and breading except for its sauce which I enjoyed; the mushroom soup was very creamy and tasty but it could've been better with whole slices of mushrooms in it, it felt empty; my partner ordered chicken diva and his comment was the chicken tasted very old and stale, and does look so!; I ordered honey butter chicken which was a delight! Love it's saltiness and the crunchiness of the chicken sides, the rice was also shaped into a heart. Other than that we enjoyed our stay. Taking unlimited photos was not an issues since we were the last ones to leave.

    Food was around the average to good range. Carbonara and chicken was good some were average. Place was chic and aesthetic and pretty much the selling point here. Coffee was good but was expecting something better. Perfect place if you're only here to hangout or write something. Could get loud when packed due to close proximity so might want to be here when it's not peak season. Service was a little bit slow but manageable. Limited parking inside and be advised that Baguio city police confiscates erring vehicles and the street around kamiseta hotel is a no parking zone. All in all a nice place to be if you're into highbrow lifestyle.

    This is everything fancy for a lady and as such, this is very instagrammable. I love the coziness it brings you while sipping your cup of good coffee. I thought the place would compromise its food but no! It did great on their coffee.

    Tbh I was pretty disappointed. The photos of the place looked nice, but it didn't look so well maintained. The fabric chairs had a lot of stains and the rugs under the tables looked dirty. I'm sure its hard to maintain a lot of fabrics in a restaurant, but it should have been anticipated if it was designed thay way. I wanted to like the ambience, but the 80's slow rock made me feel I was in an old barber shop. Maybe its preference, but it didn't match the look. (To me this is a big deal. It's basically branding.) I had a cappuccino which was alright, the pink latte was ok. Wasn't really in the mood to eat anything. I was sitting outside looking for a snack, I forgot about the cupcakes in the chiller inside. Honestly, it's a nice place, probably better in the mornings when its fresher and with less people. My friend had a good experience there earlier in the day so I'd give it a chance.

    The place is airy, let the natural light in, and very picturesque. The cafe's 'glass house' interior is very popular among tourists for the IG worthy pics. Ordered an American breakfast though because of my love for bacon. Also had their Cordillera salad which has sagada oranges.

    The place is nice but the waiter who served us doesnโ€™t know much about their own meals and menu. One plate of fish in chips as seen in the picture is โ‚ฑ599 each! The serving is only for 1 person. NOT WORTH IT.

    This comment will be for the toilet. For a famous cafe with lots of patrons, they only have one communal toilet for use of everyone. So, expect a long queue during peak hours. With long lines resulting to not being cleaned after. Good thing customers are considerate to next users. In any case, CR is nice and well maintained, with soap and paper towel/tissues. Place could be nicer if additional toilets are added. Not a problem with hotel occupants because they can go up to their rooms anyway.

    The only good thing in this cafe is the ambiance. They focus on being aesthetically pleasing rather than their whole food menu which is their choice. My friends and I enjoyed the overlooking view and took the time to capture more photos in order to ignore the unsatisfying food and drink we ordered. The service is great as well! I ordered tea for myself which is just a bag of Twinings and a cup of hot water. I was hoping for a special tea but I guess thatโ€™s all about it. It is a recommended location for good Instagram photos. It is a nearby famous tourist location where we just walked right after visiting Wright Park.

    . Place: - instagrammable, lots of spots for pictures, some parts look dated maybe due to the fact that its likely an old house that got converted into a cafe. Food: - Kare-kare is great!! Pizza is good. Service: - Staff were attentive. Service is good.

    It was the first sunny weekend we've had for nearly a month, so I thought it would be great to revisit the Vanilla Cafe at the Kamiseta Boutique Hotel. We went on a Saturday afternoon, and luckily, were able to get a corner table at their solarium area. It was a bit warm (by Baguio standards), as the sun was out in full force, and the ceiling tapestries were not much help in filtering out the sunlight. Nonetheless, the ambiance, and the wide open windows which lets a nice breeze come in, was worth the warmth of the place. The same cannot be said about the offerings though. The cakes were quite expensive, and didn't look appetizing, so I went for the Puff Royal Coffee flavor, and had a Cafe Mocha to go with it. My friend had a Cafe Latte. The coffee was... ok. Nothing extraordinary. The puff pastry though was mostly whipped cream that didn't even taste like coffee. The mini cream puffs that were in it, and the puff pastry base, were ok though. Overall, it wasn't worth the P199 that I paid for it. Come for the ambiance, but temper your expectations on their sweet treats.

    No issues with aesthetics, food is average. We werenโ€™t allowed to played board games while killing time. Hoping that it will consider by the management next time.

    Since they are charging way overpriced for their food, I wish they would spend some in maintaining the place such as deep cleaning their fancy chairs ๐Ÿคญโ€ฆ the place is no doubt instagrammable but thatโ€™s about it. Unfortunately I donโ€™t think ba balikbalikan mo sya because of their overpriced meals. I mean I donโ€™t mind spending more if itโ€™s worth it, but here, itโ€™s not. Haha. I brought my kids here because I promised them a fancy cafe theyโ€™ve never been to and they were quiet happy of course. 2 toddlers, 2 adults, our bill for 3 ala carte meals - P1,990. Mind you, my kids shared 1 plate of pastaโ€ฆ haha.

    If you're after instagramable scenes and things, then the Victorian theme of this place is perfect. The food is just a bit pricey in my opinion.

  • 3/5 ใใฟ 1 year ago on Google
    The place looked fancy. It has pretty and nice interiors but not that spacious when it starts to get crowded. It can also get noisy. I cannot say much about their other food in the menu but the desserts specifically the cupcakes may need some improvement. The tea set was beautiful and colorful but the tea served was not their own blend but a Twinings tea bag. The vanilla-flavored cupcakes had too much icing. Not a good choice for peace and quiet dining or hold tea time conversations.

  • 4/5 Irene Claire A. 1 year ago on Google
    This was our first stop for brunch. The place was very instagrammable. I love that it is a glasshouse and close to nature. You can hear the birds chirping and cool breeze from pine trees. But we were a bit disapppointed about the food, we ordered pink waffle and chicken ( waffle was too sweet and the chicken is a bit dry and not fresh), lasagna was delicious but it was two thin maybe just 3 layers? The pink latte matcha something was too sweet also although you can taste a bitterness of the coffee and matcha, it was overpowered by the sweetness.

  • 1/5 Luisa R. 2 years ago on Google
    We've ordered 2 Mocha Lattes since there's only 2 available cold coffee flavors, Nachos and 2 vanilla Cupcakes. Coffee is terrible, very cheap tasting. Nachos were just nachos with cheese and salsa that tastes like tostitos dips. The cupcake were okay but the worst part is their take out packaging for the cupcake has visible dirt all over, besides from not having a take out box even if their cupcake was overpriced. Never going back here again.

    Literally, Bridgeton in real life. The interior is so vintage itโ€™ll take your tea time on a different level. Overlooking and quiet from the busy buzz of the city. Food is okay and kinda pricey but nothing special. You just paid for the vibes and place, to be honest.

    Very convenient to order and call for assistance. Food taste good especially the vanilla cupcake. The place was also great.
