The Brown Bag Cafe

It was a little restaurant that looked cozy from the outside. I've observed it all the time as I walked into Eastwood. The Brown Bag Cafe. I've always wondered what's in it and what they served, until today.

To think that I regret going in shouldn't really be said. What was supposed to be a trip to Italiannis was transferred to this little restaurant as there were too many people in Italinannis. But then, what the heck, it was a time to check out something new, try. So Chris, Glenn, Cristy and I set on a food journey that made us think of Jollibee after.

Salad, Whole wheat Pizza (4 cheese topping - so it wasn't all that healthy), Whole Wheat Pasta, and Brown Rice Fried Rice... It was interesting. We were taking time to criticize the service, the water that tasted worse than tap and the fact that we were the only ones in the place (at least there was space!)

So, anyway, apart from the service (frustrated servers), the food was all ok. Not really exceptionally priced, but the food was fine. They had their own niche so to say, trying to go for the healthy (which they are not really)...There we were talking, and chatting away. I had the feeling we should've gone back to Italiannis but we were already there, seated, bonding over food and friendship.

Until dessert came...wait, we didn't order dessert. Chocolate Syrup Pannacotta - Complimentary they said. Ok. Fine. It was good actually. And then, we asked for the bill. Then the bomb dropped, they don't accept credit cards (not to mention the signs all over saying Visa, tsk). Why?

Ma'am, kasi po, magsasara na kami in a few days. Last few days na po namin to. Sayang naman ngayon niyo lang na try yung restaurant namin.

Got guilty after that. So, didn't criticize anymore.

It was actually good that we got to try it before it closed down. And it was actually good to help a closing restaurant have a memory of us.

So there. Enough said.
