Sunnies Cafe

Sunnies Cafe is open in Alabang Town Center!

Just the other day, Nino and I were thinking where we could go for one of our brunch dates. After being married to me for so long, Nino has also grown an affinity for this lovely meal where there are absolutely no rules.

Remember, brunch can consist of everything from pasta to steak and eggs. It’s even better when we can have a mimosa, or in the case of eating out with the kids a good cup of coffee and a great milkshake.

Sunnies Cafe is right beside Sunnies Specs in Alabang Town Center. 

Our family has visited Sunnies Specs three times already for eyewear for Gia and Miguel. Their pricing is so affordable, and we were even able to get our driver a new set of specs for reading.

This brand is owned and operated by three partners who took their love of eyewear and fashion, and then translated that into an all day brunch restaurant that serves great coffee and cocktails, as well!

I’m not sure how these two businesses fit together, but I’ll take it.

Martine Cajucom, Bea Soriano-Dee, and Georgina Wilson put their heads together to create a look that is immediately recognizable for their brand. With bright colors, simple decors, and affordable eyewear, this brand has taken the country by storm providing options not just for accessories while dressing and playing the part, but also for the necessity that those of us actually NEED glasses in a fashionable way.

So how does a cafe pair with an eyewear studio to open up its doors?

Taken from their website:

“We wanted to bring the Sunnies lifestyle into something experiential for everyone to enjoy. Sunnies Cafe is a fusion of the things we like to see, eat, and drink. All in one space. The menu is a collection of our favorite comfort food with a modern twist. We designed it to be your new go-to spot, from brunch to dinner, and coffee to cocktails.” 

Sunnies Cafe has lots of Instagram worthy nooks in their other locations too. The ATC branch does not have any windows, so this makes it difficult to take photos with natural light, but of course, we didn’t let that stop us.

 

If you are in @alabangtowncenter today and are part of the first 100 customers to visit @sunniescafe, you will receive these Crispy Tacos for FREE! Asada Steak, Fried Quail Eggs, in a Parmesan Taco Shell, and covered with a Cilantro Cream Sauce. • • • • #yummyph #foodwinewomen #forkspoonmanila #foodporn #huffposttaste #foodstagram #hautecuisine #yahoofood #heresmyfood #food52 #f52grams #pepperph #thefatkidinside #eeeeeats #buzzfeedfood #buzzfeed #dmfoodseries #discovermnl #trylocalph

We had just come from a Best Buddies event in De LaSalle Zobel, so we had the whole family with us. I needed a coffee, and Nino needed to eat. Unfortunately, when we are all rushing out of the house, we tend to not eat breakfast. All I do is make sure that Gelli and the big kids eat something, but if time is super short, Gelli might even have a Yumbox packed and ready to go for the car.

In this case, by the time we got to Sunnies Cafe we were all starved!

The interiors reminded me of a diner from days gone by. Pastel colors. Brightly lit. Booths. Simple. The kind of no nonsense place where you hope to get good brunch food with a twist.

And because we were so many (even Miguel’s buddy came out to eat with us) we had a bunch of different dishes we could take a bite and try from each other.

Here’s what we ordered.

Parmesan Crisp Tacos, Bagel and Lox, Fried Chicken and Pancakes, Steak and Eggs, Chicken Fingers, and Banoffee Pie

My take on the resto?

It definitely has a slew of options for the all day brunch lover.

They didn’t have a high chair which is unforgivable when you are in a mall. People come to the malls with their kids and I need a high chair for Gelli because she is still too small to sit on her own.

The coffee was great.

The service was even better. When the manager saw we were waiting for some time for Gia’s order, she followed up and I think, she realized our server forgot to punch Gia’s order in. Of course, by this time we were done with brunch and Gia was the last to eat. 

I know Gia was a little annoyed, but I took the time to enjoy my coffee while chatting away with her and her dad.

Before we were ready to leave, the manager asked us if we would like to try dessert. In fact, she suggested we try their best seller. I was glad she did. It was a delicious Banoffee Pie with a cookie crumb crust that I almost devoured all by myself.

 

Black Bottom Banoffee Pie. Oreo Crust. Dulce de Leche. Fresh Bananas. Coffee Whipped Cream. ???????????? • • • • #yummyph #foodwinewomen #forkspoonmanila #foodporn #huffposttaste #foodstagram #hautecuisine #yahoofood #heresmyfood #food52 #f52grams #pepperph #thefatkidinside #eeeeeats #buzzfeedfood #buzzfeed #dmfoodseries #discovermnl #trylocalph

And as if she knew we were a little upset, she made sure that dessert was not on our bill.

Thanks Sunnies Cafe!

We will surely be back 🙂

I started taking my coffee black, years ago when I I started taking my coffee black, years ago when I ran outta milk and had no choice. I quickly realized that I would much rather trade my calories in milk and sugar for the calories in my dessert. 

My nana used to take her coffee black. And sometimes she would have tea in the afternoon and dip her saltines in it while watching her “programs.” These programs were shows like The Young and The Restless, Falcon Crest, and Dallas. I would sit at her feet, or on the sofa next to her. And just being near her provided comfort.

Thankful for my sisters. My sisters have always supported me. The last seven years especially. Grateful for their generosity, their guidance, their prayers and their love for my children. 

Are you thankful for your sister? She doesn’t have to be one that your parents gave you. She can be your chosen sister too! Tag her and let her know.

We had the chance to spend some meaningful time with our founder, @anthonykshriver, learn from the other countries who were present, and celebrate the relaunch of Best Buddies Spain with their Gala.

I came home inspired. Ready to jump into our employment program, and expand our friendship and leadership programs to create greater impact.

We are furthering inclusion in 47 countries all over the world. Curious about how you can bring our inclusive programs to your school or company?

Are you feeling the holiday spirit already? Righ Are you feeling the holiday spirit already? 

Right now, I’m thinking of my Thanksgiving menu and all of the many things I am grateful for…

Especially weekend getaways with @manila.gent.
Tis the season to be merry! Just last week, @mani Tis the season to be merry!

Just last week, @manila.gent and I visited @westinmanilahotel for their very FIRST Tree Lighting to kick off the holiday season. 🎄

We enjoyed holiday themed drinks, festive music, and the sustainably decorated tree while celebrating “Green & Bright,” in the hotel lobby. 

As always the eats and treats are for the whole family to enjoy. Bring the kids, the grandparents, and even the fur babies to celebrate this Holiday Season because everyone is welcome! 

Here are the special offerings you can look for when you visit:

• Visit The Lobby Lounge for the 12 Christmas Cocktails or the Westin Holiday High Tea.

• Celebrate Thanksgiving Dinner with the buffet at Seasonal Tastes. Be prepared to be wowed with Turkey and the fixings.

• Check in and enjoy Christmas and New Years staycations complete with the Westin Pillars of wellbeing. The Holiday Getaway room package includes breakfast for two persons, an Afternoon High Tea, a festive giveaway, and a P1,000 food and beverage credit. (This is valid for stays until January 7, 2024.)

• Take advantage of Seasonal Tastes’ holiday menu for both Christmas and NYE that includes Seafood Paella, Beef Prime Rib Roast, Italian Style Roast Pork “Porchetta”, Slow Cooked Leg of Lamb, Slow Roasted Whole Turkey, Grilled Bratwurst and Veal sausages, and more.

Looking forward to celebrating with the family this holiday season. We all have so much to be grateful for. 🙏🏻
Self Care Sunday! Quick trip to @alpinalounge mea Self Care Sunday!

Quick trip to @alpinalounge means we are ready for the week! Visiting the lounge for my gel manicure and monthly massage is not just a treat, it’s part of what I look forward to when spending time with @gi.aventajado. 

I love that my manicure lasts more than a month, and that the care I receive from the technicians is with my preferences taken into consideration.

Waiting patiently as my lashes grow out and heal from the years of wearing falsies, so I can enjoy the lash extensions that I have missed!
I ❤️ NY. I ❤️ NY.
Mother Daughter Dates like this @alpinalounge. I Mother Daughter Dates like this @alpinalounge.

I didn’t know that when I turned 50 one of my besties would be half my age. What a blessing to have a daughter who likes spending time with me. 

Alpina has been our go to for nails, massage, and eyelash extensions for the two of us. Even @manila.gent and I go for massages once a month too!
