Cafe Sunset - Cainta

Nice place. Worth a try. I love their cakes. Food and desserts were affordable. We visited the place twice and found that they only had 2 employees during that time. That explains why we have to follow up multiple times.

We only had desserts and coffee during our visit here. Cakes were very affordable but tasted great but it's not the same for their coffee since it's something not to rave about.  The ambiance is very good; very homey and relaxing.Although the place is quite small, it is very well lit and decorations were supply yet elegant.

I've been meaning to try Cafe at Sunset for months, since having seen especially its cute and mouthwatering mini cakes on their Facebook and IG posts. And now, finally I got to try it. Cafe at Sunset is located on the 2nd floor at Rublou Marketplace in Brookside subdivision. I was trying to figure out where exactly Rublou is. Turns out, there are actually *three* Rublou's in Cainta (or I guess maybe even more if go around the entire town) -- one in Greenfield subdivision, and another two on Ortigas Avenue extension. I was kind of lost, as a result. So when I finally found the correct Rublou Marketplace where Cafe at Sunset is located, I really did hope that it would be worth all that wandering which, quite unquestionably, made me famished hehehe. As I entered the building, I was disappointed a bit. Their cake display was empty. And except for a lone chocolate cake, I didn't see any more of their signature mini cakes. I specifically wanted to try their Ube Leche Flan cake (since trying Anghelica's Dessert's own version of it, it has been a favorite). There were other regular-sized cakes in the refrigerator though. What I had: ????Sunset Pork Tonkatsu (P145) ☆☆☆ ~ According to the menu, it is their "version of melts-in-your-mouth pork tonkatsu w/ teriyaki sauce." So naturally I got quite excited, as I love tonkatsu. When I finally got a bite of it, yeah, it was crunchy indeed, but not quite melts-in-your-mouth nor tender. I felt that it was a pre-made, frozen tonkatsu they used for this dish, and I kind of felt let down in the end. But I liked the tomato salsa (more of that, please!), it tasted refreshing as it should be. Considering the large portions, this was a bang for the buck indeed. ????Iced Hazelnut Latte (P120) ☆☆☆ ~ This was just OK, but fortunately it had strength so this was my kind of coffee. Some iced coffee drinks are just too sweet. ????Matcha Lava Cake (P110) ☆☆☆☆☆ ~This one was the redeemer. Soft, moist, saucy as a lava cake should be. And the balance between the matcha's bitterness and the cake's overall sweetness was just right. ❤Red Velvet Lava Cake (P110) ☆☆☆☆ ~ Actually, the Red Velvet and Matcha Lava Cake are some of the cafe's most recent creations. Maybe limited edition flavors just for the holidays (it's because they match the Christmas colors, green and red). I ordered this for a takeout. This one's a bit too sweet for me but the soft and moist texture is the same. I prefer the matcha one, though. There were a few customers by the time I dined there, so yeah it was really nice, hindi nakaka-stress hehehe. Add the loungey Christmas choons, it was definitely a place to chillax. I hope the next time I make a return to Cafe at Sunset they have all these mini-cakes. Maybe it wasn't really my day today hehehe. asecretfanfare.blogspot.com

I appreciate your efforts in putting up Halloween decorations this month. ???? Definitely not my last visit as I have to try their other bestsellers.

I would definitely go back to this place! Every time I pass the area I see this cafe and look forward to trying it. Last week my family and I decided to have a light dinner here. The place was cold and calm even though it wasn't cold enough even if it was already night and raining. We tried their sandwiches, grilled tuna, and grilled ham and cheese. The portion surprised me when I came because, to be honest, I wasn't expecting much. The sandwiches came with a small colselaw, fries, and dip. We also ordered pumpkin soup with pieces of bacon. It was good, but I think it's a little creamy. The bacon didn't come in pieces, but in pieces and strips! - That far exceeded my expectations. We also tried their pasta salad in toasted sesame dressing (forget what it's called) and it's good! It was full of fruits and vegetables and the portion was generous enough. Lastly, I tried their frozen americano while my sister had it hot. I always like black, especially when trying a coffee in a new cafe. The coffee was strong enough with no hot or cold aftertaste or acidity. For its price, I didn't expect it to taste this good, I liked it. Service was good and quick too.
