[OK na Food Trip] Larcy's Cupcakery Cafe

Firstly, the Intro:

Larcy's has been making a buzz in BF Homes since the onset of the cupcake cafe boom and even before we moved around the area several months back. Bonus na katapat nito yung vet clinic kung saan namin pinapa-groom yung askal namin. So while Eww is on her dog spa, sa Larcy's kami tumatambay ni K.

Secondly, the Chicha:

• Banana Cream Cheese (cupcake)
• Chocolate Salted Caramel (cupcake)
• Baconutella Sandwich
• Frozen Hot Nutella

not so salted caramel

The cupcakes are not as moist as we like it pero masarap pa din naman (what's not to like with sweets anyway?). Hindi namin ramdam yung saltiness nung salted caramel. Supposedly, ang purpose ng asin ay para mas mabuksan yung taste buds ng dila para mas ma-enjoy yung tamis nung chocolate. That did not happen. It tasted just plain sweet up to the last bite.

banana cream cheese

Yung banana cream cheese ay banana cake na nilagyan ng cream cheese (doh!) and it tasted exactly like that. Again, sans the moistness. Based on these two cupcakes, wala pa kaming paborito so far and frankly, mas may gusto pa kaming cupcake sa Sonja's. We should try their other flavors.

bacon + nutella

Yung baconutella sandwich ay bagong produkto lang nila. It's something that you can do at home really but since it's BACON, why not! Bacon bits and nutella rolled together on a pancake sandwich. I actually like this more than the cupcakes. LOL.

Frozen Hot Nutella

It's weird that this is called frozen and hot at the same time. Ang explanation dyan siguro ay lasa siyang hot chocolate drink (na may Nutella) pero served frozen topped with whip cream na may chocolate powder. Nasarapan naman kami. It's a Nutella drink after all. Ang cute pa nung mug na pinaglalagyan nito. Parang garapon.

Thirdly, the Price:
Cupcakes go for P70 to P90. Ka-presyo ito ng mga nagsulputang cupcake places around the metro. Syempre ang espesyal sa Larcy's ay meron silang sariling cafe, unlike most which are just mall kiosks.

Sandwiches sell for around P180. They also have rice meals for around P200 but I don't see the need to try them. You go here for meryenda o mag-himagas (kung may word mang ganun).

The chocolate drinks cost about P170. Parang malaking Starbucks na din.

Mahal, in general, but that's the cost of wanting to take selfies on a chic place.

squint enough for the prices

Fourthly, the Other Comments:

The place is really cute in a girly way. Shabby chic ang general theme ng interior design so I can imagine girls swooning over how good the vibes of the place is for them. I can go as far as saying na sila ang nagpauso ng ganitong theme (girly chic) sa mga cupcakery na nagsulputan na parang kabute around the metro. Sa kanila ko kasi unang nakita yung ganung decors for a cupcake cafe. I could be wrong, of course.

so girly

So far, kapag pumupunta kami, walang masyadong customers (around 3-4PM on a weekend) kaya tahimik. However, I can imagine it can get really noisy on a crowded day. Medyo magkakadikit kasi yung mga lamesa. Hindi pa namin nasusubukan na tignan yung second floor nila. It has a balcony and function rooms.

Lastly, a Summary:
It's a fancy tambay place, if just for a change from the usual coffee hangouts.
