Must try: You Had Me at Chocnut crepe - P295! They're also serving Toby Estate's coffee in the cafe. We also tried their Burn banana crepe (P265) and Mango crepe (P280), both with fruits that were just perfectly ripe 👍 Cafe's rustic + chic ambiance was also lovely 💚
I can officially say that La Creperie has found it’s match! Ça Va’s crepes are officially my favorite crepes in the metro!
We got to try the bibingka crepe, the four cheese crepe, and the spinach and mushroom crepes. Guess what! Everything was delicious.
What sets Ça Va apart is that the taste profile is much more subtle and refreshing. The crepe is perfection: being a little crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside. It’s also so nice how they have offerings that you can’t find anywhere else such as the bibingka crepe, which did not fail the wow us!
Looking forward to coming back for my next crepe cravings! :p

The place is small but the atmosphere is so inviting and relaxing. The staff are friendly and accommodating. They're open at 7am and the breakfast, lunch and dessert menu are already available. Despite the size of the place, their menu items are quite varied. From the size of the place and tables, your first impression would be that they only serve coffee, tea and crepes. You should go in and try, you'd be amazed with what they have to offer. Just take a look at what we ordered, and I wasn't able to take a picture of dessert, because I was busy munching on the Fish and Chips. Ah.. 🥰 so crispy and moist fillet.. 😍 Well we ordered Burn, but no picture. I should really start paying attention of what's happening around me instead of focusing on my food. 😅 Before I realized it arrived, my companions already halved it. 😱 Giving new meaning to the phrase hungry like a wolf. 🤣
If you're not sure with what to order, feel free to ask your server, because they're quite familiar with the dishes. It was just bad luck that Milk Fish and Mangoin' Home were not available at the time. I definitely have to try them on my next visit. 😁
Ca Va Creperie & Floral Atelier’s Salmon To Love
🍽 Taste: 8.7/10 ⭐️’s 💸 Price: P450
A little bit pricey for the amount of smoked salmon that I got, but overall, I really liked this savory crepe 🥰. The cream cheese and sour cream was not too overwhelming. All the ingredients just worked well together.
Ca Va Creperie & Floral Atelier’s omelette bacon
🍽 Taste: 8/10 ⭐️’s 💸 Price: P265
It was good, but nothing special. The omelette includes 3 eggs, bacon, mushrooms, and kesong puti.
Perfect date place for dessert. The resto is never crowded, and the ambiance is nice. I always ask the servers to make my crepes toasted
🔸Mango - generous with the mangoes, fave of my boyfriend and officemates
🔸Banana - my fave! Bananas have a crunchy caramel top layer and the crepe is drizzled with caramel and choc chips
🔸Chocnut - not my fave, but bf liked it
🔸Plain - sweet and buttery
🔸Latte - milky and comparable quality to SB
This place is nice and instagram worthy. Its a loft with really nice vintage interior design.
Their food is also delicious and satisfying. We tried their tapa with egg and rice. The beef is tasty and has the right crisp.
For dessert we ordered crepes. Orange You Glad and Mangoin' Home. It was really good. It has the right amount of sweetness and fruity flavor.
All in all this place is a nice place for catching up with friends and also filling your tummy with good food .
Extremely charming ambiance. Would be a nice date/brunch/afternoon tea date. Good stuff’s quite pricey so I’d personally save it for slightly more special occasions. :)
Their savoury crepes are soo good!
Their carbonara was good as well, while everything else was decent. The chicken was aesthetically pleasing but taste-wise it was okay.
This place has a nice loft with really pretty, posh yet fresh interiors. My friend who recently celebrated her birthday was generous enough to treat us with the following sumptuous meals:
*Meet me at the Forest
-if you want a fast order, this is the meal to choose
*Omelette (three eggs, tomato, mushroom, kesong puti)
-tastes really good
*Chicken out
-a generous serving of boneless chicken and rice
*Porchetta
-the pork is tender yet I suggest eating with rice to neutralize the salty taste
Desserts
*You had me at chocnut
*Mangoing home
Service was satisfactory. Glad they allowed us to stay there for 3 hours. Overall happy with our visit.

One of the best breakfast places in Ortigas Business district offering a wide variety of food choices and cozy ambience— which is probably the best way to start a work day.
NEW RESTO FIND ALERT!
Ca Va ( pronounced sa-vah) is a French word which can mean anything like Hello, How are you? or fine as in Im fine thank you.
Ca Va actually just opened August last year and its a combination of flower shop and restaurant. The group of owners are retailers and resto owners themselves.
In fact one partner owns Toby's Estate...
Delightful little restaurant at the Podium with a casual floral ambiance.
Our beverages, Happy Digestion (Strawberry, banana & oats) and Sakura Cooler (cherry blossom, berries and soda water) were good.
Our food was excellent. Burrata salad followed by Scampi Escaper savory crepe and Green Shakshuka. Each one was well put together and tasty. The savory crepe is a must-try.
Nice and elegant place in Podium. Had coffee and crepes here. The crepe is good just a bit dry, i find it overcooked. There are flowers for sale. Staff is friendly. Good place to hangout.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Here in Ça Va, they offer you the convenience of a place, they will not just entice you with the food but also with the beauty of flowers display entering the restaurant's facade.
All the flowers and simple yet homey interior design is very feminine it will surely catch one's attention.
We were served with three Savory Galettes. The most favorite is I'm Chori with Caramelized Onions, Chorizo and Lettuce on top. I never thought Chorizo & Onions would compliment each other.
Scampi Escaper are Shrimps, Shitake Mushroom, Capers,
Parmesan, Lemon & Lettuce. The mix of ingredients are just brilliant.
Buratta and Fresh Greens...I can eat this everyday!!! Healthy and absolutely fresh.
For the Rice meals, On the double is a Bacon Rice Bowl. Thick cured slices of Bacon on top of a delicious well cooked fried rice. I think this is perfect with hot sauce!!! A must try!
Chorizo Pasta (Available in Solo or Double)
Noodles Pasta is a little bland which is good enough to balance to the saltiness and flavorful Chorizo slices with fresh toast bread on the side. Yum!
Fish & Chips
A generous amount of Crispy Beer battered Fish Fillet and thick Fries will definitely satisfy your craving. I honestly not a fan of Fish & Chips but their version is soo good, I gladly ate and even took home some of it!
Chicken Out is a finger food with Boneless fried Chicken with
Fries and Green Salad. Perfect to those who'd rather not eat rice.
For desserts we have tried
Mango, Bibingka and Chocnut Crepe. Everything comes light but gratifying. Mango is on my top list favorite.
Smoothies
Green Warrior an Avocado and Matcha mix with Vanilla.
Happy Digestion
I should try this next time, Strawberry, Banana and Oats sounds very interesting and reminds me of a good breakfast Oats!
Oh, She glows with Blueberry is also available.
Overall, I did had a great time during this Food Tasting Event. Good food. Recommendable place.

It's actually my first time to eat crepes like what Ça Va. The restaurant itself is visually appealing. I love to see a mix of plants and flowers inside a restaurant.
Service is satiafactory. They were very assisting.
We tried two savory crepes:
I'm Chori - It was a crowd favorite. It was flavorful, and you'll never experience that 'umay' thingy. I like how the cheese inside complements with the meat as well.
Scampi Escaper - it was good as well but not as tasty as the I'm Chori.
We also got to try their lunch plates:
Chicken Out - generous serving of chicken. The taste is good even without the dip. Crispy and tender!
Chorizo Pasta - the taste is mild. I can barely taste the chorizo on the pasta (the taste doesn't fully stick to the pasta), you can taste if you include some bits of chorizo.
Fish and Chips - best to dip with tartar sauce because the dip was too tasty.
Bacon Rice Bowl - another crowd favorite! I'm not feeling guilty eating this big serving of bacon. The rice is already tasty so its combination was just perfect!
Desserts:
Bibingka crepe - it was nice how Ça Va creates a Filipino version of crepes like this. Even though it's not visually appealing, the cheese and the egg can be tasted more, just like a bibingka.
Chocnut - I like how it's not too sweet. The whip cream just made it more creamy. For some, it can have that 'umay' factor.
(will update this review for more photos)

Bon jour! Ça va?.... Hello! How are you?
Literally translated, "ça va" (pronounced, sah-vah) means "it goes." Used as an informal French greeting to friends or acquaintances.
The perfect hide away in the new Podium Mall, Ça Va Creperie & Floral Atelier brings well-being loved classic crepes with a twist.
Their savory crepes (also called Galettes) are made with buckwheat flour and finished with browned butter, the traditional way of doing it in Brittany, France.
I love the SCAMPI ESCAPER, shrimps, shiitake mushrooms, bechamel, fried capers, parmesan cheese.
Also the I'M CHORI, chorizo Pamplona, caramelized onions, gruyere cheese, apple slaw
Their dessert crepes are lighter with wonderful sweet flavors...
MANGOIN' HOME - fresh mangoes, butterscotch, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream
BIBINGKA - Laguna kesong puti, queso de bola, organic salted duck egg, torched sugar & a special sauce.
YOU HAD ME AT CHOCNUT - chocnut, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream.

"Nothing beats having breakfast surrounded by flowers! Its possible right here in the middle of the city, at The Podium, at Cą Va Crêperie & Floral Atelier!"
That was how I introduced my entry for Ca Va in Facebook recently, it's true by the way. I remember my shoots in Tagaytay in a rose farm and how we enjoyed every minute of it. And now, it happened again. But this time, I was in the middle of the city. Yes, it's possible. Still.
The difference? We were served good food at the same time enjoying the flowers. We were served crepes, salad, lunch plates and desserts. Though not consistent, the effort was there.
Take for example, the savory crepes. We had I'm Chori with chorizo Pamplona, caramelized onions, gruyere, apple slaw and Scampi Escaper with shrimps, bechamel, shiitake mushroom, fried capers, parmesan cheese. It was difficult to decide which one was better but the chorizo won me over. It must be the nuttiness of gruyere cheese blending with the chorizo and the sweetness of the onion that finally broke the tie.
As for the Burrata Salad, I was looking for something in that appetizer. Couldn't put my finger on it but I knew that there was lacking in that salad. Probably, a new cheese supplier? Just asking.
Of all the four lunch plates served, it was the Bacon Rice Bowl, I liked the best. It was playfully salty and deliciously smoked and thick (and fatty) Double Wood bacon. It was perfect with fried rice.
The Chicken Out and the Fish and Chips are, well, passable. They were passably good, don't get me wrong. But there was nothing new. It was just okay, if you ask me. Then, we were served the Chorizo Pasta. That one was forgettable. The pasta was not al dente and the dish was bland with a capital B (in Bland and in Bad). This one needs to go back to the kitchen for another round of R & D.
Dessert. The Bibingka Crepe, I loved the most. The white cheese blended well with Queso de bola and the itlog na maalat with the torched sugar. It was sinfully my favorite. The Mango Crepe came in second. The Chocnut Crepe was just way too sweet with what seemed to me were 10 dollops of cream, vanilla ice cream and what else, chocnut. Sugar was way pass my tolerance level that I thought heard myself gaining weight just with a tablespoon of it.
Seriously, my Ca Va experience was something I want to do once again. A revisit must be in order. Will do it soon.

Ça Va Podium Food Tasting Event
The Phrase “Ça Va” ( sa-vah) is an informal French greeting used how a close friend or acquaintance is doing ?
I was lucky to be invited yesterday (April 3,2019) for a Food Tasting Event at Ça Va. I used to see this beautiful garden inspired restaurant every time I go to Podium. Some will say it looks intimidating when you dine here but your wrong about that . Actually I highly recommend this restaurant when you visit the Podium Mall .
It is located at the right by the Julia Vargas Entrance of the newly expanded Podium Mall.
They opened month of August last year and since then they gained customers who were looking for a Breakfast meeting place on weekdays and brunch or dinner destination on weekends . They are already open as early as 7am even when the Podium Mall are still close so if your having a hard time looking for a Breakfast place , this is the perfect place for you even for lunch , Merienda and Dinner.
Maybe you’ll be curious why they also have floral atelier? Because the owner believes that there is need for a lifestyle place in the city where you can eat and same time buy something that is perfect for your home like flowers 💐.
They have a lot of beautiful flowers and it comes in different prices . The good thing about their flowers is that it can last long so your money 💰 is worth spending . You can but this for home decors is even perfect for your office or gift for loved ones.
We started with their smoothies perfect for this summer .

(All of their Savory crepes are made with Backwheat flour and finished with brown butter)

🍽 Chorizo Pasta - this is good for sharing. It has Spanish chorizo, sundried tomatoes , black olives . Solo is 310 pesos . I’m not a chorizo fun but to tell you the truth , now I liked it 😊
🍽 Fish and Chips- Beer Battered fillet, fries and tartar sauce . I’m a fish and chips lover so like this one . The serving was generous and tartar sauce was perfect dip. Price is 435 pesos .

There’s still a lot of good food that Ça Va can offer . Will definitely go back so I can try other unique flavor crepes , and other dishes and drinks .
The place was really beautiful, it’s so peaceful and this is something you would really loved to go to especially when you want to get out from the busy office work loads. The flowers around the restaurant gives you a good vibes and will make you feel relax . Plus the smiles on the faces of their staffs will make you want to go back at Ça Va.
Good food , lovely place , prices are reasonable and staffs are accommodating . Even the owner are accommodating and very hands on .
Thank you to Ça Va , Zomato and We Love To Eat Ph for the Invite .
bonne nourriture
Found this very unique (in a good way) restaurant in Podium, and I must say, the dishes that we had were superb! Specially CHICKEN OUT. Oh my gosh. We loved it!
Will be back next time. It was such a delightful experience to have found our new go-to restaurant whenever we want to relax in the middle of the busy district of Ortigas. ❤️
I love the ambiance of Ça Va! I have been hearing about the place and finally got to try it out with some girlfriends.
Beautiful flowers by the entrance greeted us. We entered for the ambiance but the bibingka & Choc nut crepes are two desserts I will definitely go back for. It was perfect from start to finish. Definitely a must for dessert lovers like me. Coffee was great too!
We tried three crepes, the orange one, the strawberry chocolate one, and one with potato chips, Nutella and chocolate. My favorite would have to be the orange crepe, it had a nice flavor and wasn't too overwhelming. My next favorite would be the strawberry chocolate as it was a nice combination of flavors, though the preserved strawberries were a bit tart. The one with potato chips was a bit aggressive for me, the crepe in some parts was a bit drier than what I'd want. The chocolate as some parts was a bit too much as well.
All in all, some interesting crepe flavors, though their crepes themselves are a bit less flavorful than what you might find elsewhere.
You can give this store a chance, a new restaurant with a flower boutique attached to it. They serve different cuisines like a cafe specializing in crepes and desserts.
I got to try in two separate visits, Do The Salsa Rice Bowl and two of their drinks. The dish I had was quite satisfying although nothing extraordinary about it. They do have a number of bowls to choose from.
As per beverage, I enjoyed my cool glass of Passionfruit Cubano even though it needs more mint to it. I also had the Berry Smoothie, a bit pricey at Php 230 but justified with the presence of real ingredients.
Ca Va also has a more private area for up to 18 people on their second floor. Planning on a meeting there soon for our group.

What we ordered:
> CHORIZO PASTA
- This was an oil based pasta with a generous amount of grinded chorizo bits. My sister ordered it. For me, the taste was a bland but she and my mom liked it anyway.
> K-LOCA
- This is a korean pork belly rice bowl with cabbage and bell pepper. Mom was happy with her order and she felt satisfied and stuffed after finishing this!
> FEELIN BEE-CHEE
- This is a bit spicy bulgogi rice bowl. As my tita said, if you’re not the kind of person who would eat unli samgyup, you can go for this rice bowl instead to satisfy your craving.
> RUN FOREST RUN
- This was a savoury crepe with forest ham, egg and emmental cheese. I loved how their crepe already had a taste on its own. I would personally just preferred this crepe with mozarella or a saltier kind of cheese rather than emmental. They have a four cheese crepe that I have yet to try!
> BANANA CREPE with chocolate drizzle and whipped cream.
- We got 2 of these mini dessert crepes for the day for posting atleast 2 dishes on instagram (or facebook) with the hashtags #crepesmanila #cavapodium
- I loved it! The ingredients were so simple but I loved how they blended together in my mouth. Yum!
• Taste/Quality: 4.5 - The presentation was just so pretty as the place! The taste is also satisfying.
• Value for money: 4 - You still have to save up when you want to eat here but not that bad for the food, service and ambience you’re getting.
• Service: 5 - Friendly and attentive staff. Food is served in about 10-15 mins.
• Ambience: 5 - Very instagrammable!
I recommend this and will go back to try their other savoury and dessert crepes!
The mango crepe was so yummy! The crepe is a little bit toasted at the edge so it has a nice sweet crunch. generous serving of mango and cream. Could use a little bit more ice cream. You may want to request for less powdered sugar cause the crepe batter is already sweet.
I love the sriracha meatballs! Really great flavour! The restaurant itself has great ambiance and very affordable. Perfect place for a meeting or just catching up with friends. Great coffee! Delectable food 👍🏻
This is my happy place. With all the flowers and greens sorrounding this cafe’s interior one gets a certain vibe different from the other restaurants.
Ça va creperie might be known for its crepe but they also have full rice bowls and other meals that are so yummy. Equally great desserts and coffee as well
My friends had Feeling Bee Chee - Beef Bulgogi with kimchi rice, Pasta Aglio E Olio with fried capers and Fried Chicken with sriracha mayo sauce ( my favorite but not yet on the menu, ask the waiter for it). I on the other hand tried one from the crepe section, I’m Chori. All have hefty servings and were so so delicious.
Finished our afternoon with a delectable Bibingka crepe to share and good coffee ( which I learned is from Toby’s estate.
Highly highly recommend this place!!
Try these!!:
Burrata salad with honey and black salt. Now this cheese is what you can find at expensive restaurants but here it’s just P300+ (sorry forgot exact price)!!! And it’s a big serving!
Fourever. Four cheese crepe. Also very good. Ask for truffle paste to add as extra (additional charge).
The Potcha. Potcha talaga! First time I tried potato chips and chocolate stuffed in a crepe. Salty, sweet, and crunchy - pwedeng pwede! Definitely coming back for it!
Instagrammable cafe but it’s small and gets full quickly.
I’m not into plants but if you are this is the place in podium where you can get them.
