Red Velvet Cupcake (P40)
This cupcake deviates from the typical Red Velvet Cupcake by using butter cream frosting instead of cream cheese frosting. I didn’t like the deviation though I’m not the biggest fan of red velvet either. Perhaps red velvet lovers would have a better gauge of its goodness.

Brunch Set 2
Salad, Creamy Cheese, Bacon, Waffles
P360 looked pricey for the location but boy oh boy it was worth it. One brunch set is good enough to share for 2 women. When the food arrived, it couldn’t fit on our table, we were given an extra table just to accommodate all the plates and bowls.
Everything in the set menu was seriously yummy. You could taste the smokiness of the bacon which went perfectly with the waffles and maple syrup. I prefer my waffles on the toasty side and Eat Café’s version was a bit on the chewy side. The Creamy Cheese Pasta stays true to its name – its cheesiness goes straight to your thighs.

Pinoy Favorites Breakfast (P400)
Longganisa, tocino, boneless bangus with garlic rice, tomatoes, egg and unlimited coffee or tea
For a plate called pinoy favorites, the tapa was absent. Out of all the items, I loved the bangus the most because it had the right amount of saltiness I love in boneless bangus. Their garlic rice was another stunner, it was legitimately good garlic rice. Every grain had the garlicky

When I saw the extensive Dilmah tea selection, I picked the unlimited tea right away. There were typical tea flavors and special ones like Orange + Lime and Lychee + Almond + Rose flavors. I tried 4 different flavors; it was such a fun morning of tea!

Jayjay Lozano and Carlos Celdran serenaded the crowd with Beatles songs. At the start of Jayjay’s set, they hand out a list of songs you can request from. If you’re courageous enough to perform, you can as well.

There are vinyl players and records are also for sale from Tom’s Vinyl Shack.

The café is quaint and it was packed when we arrived. We were lucky to get a table immediately. Parking can get tricky because the hotel only has street level parking. The whole Vinyl & Beatles Brunch radiated such a relaxing and engaging vibe. This brunch was a terrific start to the day, it is worth a trip to Manila.
As of writing, the last Beatles Brunch is happening this Sunday – June 24, 2014. If this post made you hungry, make sure to head there this weekend.
Coming up, the Intramuros Pasyal!
