Paper Moon Cafe

Had the chance to try their Mango Mascarpone Mille crepe and it was heaven! Mangoes are sweet but not overly sweet to turn you off. Really nice quality also. The dish is really well balanced, perfect to partner with coffee Staff are accommodating and friendly. And the place is warm, welcoming and really nice..

I visited the Santa Rosa branch for the first time, and I was surprised to find it so close to me, so I went back right away. The roast beef is better than most steakhouse in the PH, so this time, I ordered two servings from the start. The sushi bake reminded me of the lunchboxes my mom used to make in Korea, with flying fish roe, mayonnaise, and rice wrapped in seaweed(they served a Korean product!), but it was even tastier. For dessert, the original crepe was not too sweet and melted in my mouth. The service provided by the staff who could speak Korean was one of the best experiences I've had in the Philippines. It's a pity that not many people seem to visit this place as a restaurant, possibly because it has "café" in its name.

First time dining here and we were instantly told that it was going to take at least 30 mins before our orders get started on because the ONE AND ONLY CHEF/COOK was taking his break and the other has already clocked out. This was very strange for us because that would immediately make others just walk out but we weren't that hungry yet so we opted to wait. Take note, there was also just 1 FOH staff. This was at 6:40pm btw. Fair enough, the chef came back and prepared our dishes bc there was only one other table there. Food was surprisingly good, although upon ordering, we were told there was no fish and chips, karaage, nor roast beef which was literally each one of our orders we then ordered other food then when 2 dishes were alr served, we were told there was apparently roast beef available and we were asked if we still wanted it but apparently couldnt switch it out for what we already replaced it for.. service water also tasted very off for us, just like tap hoping it wont make our stomachs go bad/upset. The chef ended up being the one serving some of our dishes and packing our take out too since the only server was busy with the 1 big group and 1 small group that just came in. We already felt so bad for them in that moment. They were VERY understaffed. When we billed out too, I saw their tip box so instead of keeping it in the bill pocket/folder, I walked up to put it in there and only saw a small pile of centavo coins/literal spare change instantly felt the 100 bill i put in wasnt enough. Hoping their management fixes this issue because being THAT understaffed and having 1BOH/1FOH isn't something to be regularly going through day by day for these hardworkers.

What I ordered: Tiramisu Mille Crepes – ₱325 per slice Strawberry Shortcake – ₱505 per slice Black Coffee – ₱140 and ₱165 Cakes were really good. Tiramisu was light and smooth. Strawberry shortcake was fresh and soft. Coffee was just average. Nothing to say about it, really. What stood out: The place has a clean, minimalist vibe. Good spot if you want something quiet and chill. Cake presentation was nice. Tips before you go: Portions are small for the price. ₱505 for a slice of shortcake feels steep, even if it tastes good. It’s more of a treat spot, not something I’d go to often. Coffee didn’t match the price either. Final Verdict: Not a go-to for casual visits, but if someone wants to try it or hang out here, I’ll join. Cakes are good, but it’s a one-time visit kind of place for me.

They have awesome desserts! The place is clean and well lighted. They have a pleasant and comfortable ambience. The staff are friendly and very accommodating. I loved their fruit yoghurt ice cream as well as their cakes. The cakes were light and delicious. Not too sweet which is really good for me. I ordered the Mango and Sansrival cake, perfectly paired with a hot earl grey tea. Overall experience was good and delightful. Keep it up!
