Tucked away in the refreshing and scenic landscape of Tagaytay, Calle Café by Don Gabriel marked my fourth stop on this coffee journey and it definitely made an impression, but not quite in the way I expected.
I ordered a Spanish Latte, which I usually go for when I want something sweet, creamy, and comforting. Visually, the drink looked inviting with its cinnamon powder on top served in a cozy setup that perfectly matched the café’s rustic-meets-modern aesthetic. But when it came to taste… it was just okay. Not bad, but not something I’d rave about. Considering the price, it left me wanting a little more in terms of the overall taste n flavor.
That said, the ambiance truly saves the experience. The interiors are beautifully done — a blend of warm wood accents, vintage pieces, and cozy corners that make you want to sit down with a book or chat away the afternoon with friends.
So while the Spanish Latte didn’t quite hit the mark for me in terms of value, the vibe and the space more than made up for it. Would I come back? For the ambiance, I believe absolutely. For the coffee? Maybe I’ll try something else on the menu next time.
