Gigi's Coffee and Cupcakes

A lot of people are celebrating their birthdays this month of August and I wanted to give them a little treat. I was thinking of the usual – cake or cupcakes. I was in Eastwood last weekend and luckily, found Gigi’s Coffee and Cupcakes. So I went for cupcakes.

Being away from all the other food establishments in the area, you can easily miss Gigi’s if you are not well acquainted with Eastwood City. It is located at the lobby of Felina Corporate Plaza, just past Citibank.

However, as you enter Felina Plaza, this place cannot go unnoticed.  The interiors are mostly white and green.  As I am always fascinated by a predominantly white interior, I found the place very pleasing. Plus, it gives out a garden-feel, as you can see the floor is covered with artifical Bermuda grass. 

The place is homey and quite relaxing despite being situated in a lobby. There's also free Wifi. The only concern I have is that there were only 4 tables with 3 chairs each that I waited for a few more minutes before I was able to get a seat. Although they provide extra chairs at the other end of the shop, these are high armchairs which are not at all comfortable to sit on.

There are a lot of flavors to choose from: 

Red Velvet

Sea Salt Chocolate

Butter Cream

Coffee

Mocha

Green Tea

Peppermint

Oreo

Lemon

Orange

Raspberry

Cookie Butter

Butter Rum

Lavender

Choco Chip Overload

White Chocolate

Chocolate

I bought a box of 6 (Red Velvet, Sea Salt Chocolate, Green Tea, White Chocolate, Choco Chip Overload and Raspberry) for Php 235. Individual price is Php 40. This is cheaper compared with other cupcake shops considering the quality is not compromised. 

Sea Salt Chocolate and Red Velvet

What I have tried are their bestsellers: Red Velvet and Sea Salt Chocolate, both of which I found a bit too sweet especially the red velvet. Probably, it's really best to pair them with a hot tea or coffee next time. But overall, they tasted good plus they were so soft and moist so that's an extra point. I also had a bite of the Green Tea and loved how the tea-ish flavor blended with the sweetness of the cupcake.

One of my friends enjoyed the White Chocolate, the other found the Choco Chip Overload okay but the Raspberry was too sweet for us. 

Will I be back? Yes, for the green tea and sea salt chocolate and to try the other flavors as well. 

I did not get the chance to order their drinks. Have you tried any of them? What can you recommend?
