Actually its my first time to try Cafe by the Ruins so I was really excited to see what the hype was all about. First thought I had was, "wow this parking lot is really small". Literally there were tons of cars parked out on the side of the street. So if you're planning to eat here on a busy day, either go early or risk parking your car outside.
Right after the entrance is a display of the Cafe's baked goodies, and the smell is so darn heavenly. The place looks so homey despite the "ruined" bricks and walls. The interior is mainly wood and the lights are soft and orange-y so the overall feel is home-like, only the place is a bit crowded, Tables and chairs are arranged so close to each other to accommodate more customers.
The place is popular for its breakfast selections, I greatly suggest a cup of their hot chocolate with carabao's milk. Its so thick and rich and such a perk-me-up. I ordered the longganisa meal which looks like this:
Sorry it won't upload landscape :(
If you like your longganisa kind of sour, you'd love this, unfortunately I like mine sweet. But I liked the dish nonetheless, I was also intrigued by the purple rice but I forgot to ask why it is purple. They also give you a fruit cup with mangoes and strawberries and I dont' know what else, since I didn't eat mine
We also ordered a basket of focaccia bread with butter and jam but was shunted on the side because we were so engrossed with the main dishes.
My mum and brother both ordered tinapang bangus. Which looked perfectly golden brown, I unfortunately did not get to taste their selection. They also ordered coffee and strawberry shake.
The price is mid-range, the longganisa costs Php340 and the tinapang bangus also costs the same. I think the price is worth it because the food is delicious, plus you're also paying for the ambiance. My family and I loved our first breakfast in Baguio courtesy of Cafe by the Ruins.
