Their molten lava cake is the bomb! We had it for take out and heated in the microwave as instructed. It felt straight out of the oven afterwards. Looking forward to try the other flavors!

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Price: PHP 480 for four desserts (has Zomato Gold 1+1 on all their cakes and pastas)
Parking: SOOO difficult. Just circle around the block and keep your eyes peeled
What I love:
❤️ Chocolate lava cake: Chilis has the best chocolate lava cake (I'm a loyal fan), but this was pretty good! I wish the chocolate covering the ice cream extended across the entire thing, but overall, would give this 5 stars
❤️ Creme brulee cheesecake: This is definitely not for all, but I LOVE IT. Great mix of cheese and burnt sugar. Medyo nakakaumay though so make sure to share with friends
❤️ Mascarpone Gelato with dried egg flakes: Light and smooth - and most importantly, healthier than normal ice cream (?)
Meh, pass:
🙅♀️ Banana split: Nothing special to it. The banana wasn't particularly sweet. They were generous on the ice cream though (or were they Gelato?) , so if you're an ice cream fan, this could be a good option

Went here when they were just about to move but loved their lava cake with gelato that's just the right amount of sweet and cappuccino that's just the right amount if bitter. Place was quiet and a good place for work or study. 💗
The place looks nice and cozy. The coffee’s legit and the cakes are good. The gelato’s really good too, I tried the Ferrero flavored one and it was pretty nice.
Unfortunately the ambient music they have in here is horribly off. It ruins the whole mood of the place.
A bit pricey but the gelato is worth it. Go for the stracciatella and also try their lava cake for that perfect sugar rush that lasts a long time.
A coffeehouse that's open till late at night. Good place to meet friends and just chill!
We had their Peppermint Mocha - a strong espresso based beverage that's got the right amount of sweetness and minty taste. Also had the Berry Sensation hot tea. Just right for a rainy day with a refreshing taste.

Molten Lava Cake’s the best and the Singapore Sling was a tea I will never forget. They got WiFi here so you won’t have any problem hanging out. The cashier over added a cake but it was worth it because their cakes, awesome! Ambiance is a little dark but I couldn’t resist checking out their ice cream selection.🍦
My friend and I used to go here to study. I mostly order a coffee and a cake or sandwich so the food is like 4.5/5 but it is too pricy plus they have a service charge that is WAAAY to high :) but we go here because it is not crowded like only 2-3 tables are occupied
Gelato are superb! Alot of gelato selection. Rustic and homey ambience. Their gelato cake and chocolate lava cake is a must try. Perfect ending to ones night.
Tomas Morato is always my go to place when I want to stop by for a cup of coffee. For some reason, this place has a lot of hidden coffee shop gems, and one of them is Afters. I like how Afters makes their own gelato, and has classic flavors, as well as interesting ones such as Mascarpone cheese. We ordered their desseets ~ lava cake and cheesecake. I love their lava cake! The chocolate is so good, and with the ice cream, it's the perfect decadent meal ender! Definitely a must try when you visit Afters. Their coffee drinks are pretty good too. The brew is spot-on, the bitterness of the coffee is not too overwhelming. Overall experience is chill and really great spot to hang out with your friends.
One of my favorite coffee shop. Great ambiance. Perfect for studying. Quiet place and has a relaxing vibe. Try their ice caramel macchiato together with chocolate lava cake. Perfect combination indeed
Place is small. Been here several times, and it's kinda hard to find a seat most esp on weekends. The place has a great ambiance and great airconditioning.
Haven't tried their coffee offerings yet, we usually go here for gelato or chocolate lava cake. They have a wide selection of gelato flavors which you can taste before ordering.
I've tried their chocolate lava cake for the 2nd time now. Tastes the same as the first time i had it. Must try! Great choice for sweet tooth like me. It can also be good for sharing.
Hot Chocolate
- wasn’t “hot” enough when we got it so we had to ask the waiter to reheat this. It tasted really good when it was warm.
Affogato (Vanilla)
- the gelato was super creamy. The bitterness of the coffee balanced the sweetness of the ice cream. Would order this again but for sharing since there were 2 scoops of icecream.

The ambience in here is really nice! A quiet, moody coffee shop. The baristas were all very kind. Would definitely come back for a night cap!
Wifi, outlet, ambiance, and music to put you in work mood make me go back to this cafe over and over!!! Coffee is okay (i mean, usual although with lots of options to choose from) and food is just okay! But again, if you are up to serious working and focus, then this cafe is for you!!! :)
Although, wifi is limited for 2hrs only. Well, not bad! :)
Well made drinks that put me in the best mood to be productive (paired with good ambience, music, and chairs (some chairs)). For someone needing to work outside, this would be a very good choice (the 2-hour internet usage limit really puts you to finish work in that time frame)
First time here and I'm sure I'm coming back! Ordered only the coffee and the gelato; they go perfectly with each other.
The place is cozy and inviting, too. I tend to be very inquisitive about desserts and coffee for cafes I haven't tried before. They were accommodating of all my questions.
I looked around and everything the people ordered seemed tasty and the cakes displayed also seemed promising. I'm definitely coming back.
I really liked the vibe/ambiance of the place. It’s perfect for study sessions or even just for catching up with friends. We went here on a friday afternoon and I’m surprised that it wasn’t crowded unlike other coffee shops I used to go to. I also really liked the music they played during our stay, I can’t help myself but sing along to some of them. Although I was quite surprised that they charge for service fee even though we just ordered drinks. My rating was mostly for the atmosphere of the place. The drink was nothing special and a bit pricey too.
1. I suggest you go here if you are looking for a hangout or study place away from the crowd. Upon getting there, we are welcomed by their friendly staff, its relaxing ambiance, and of course the inviting scent of coffee.
2. LAVA CAKE! While I was slicing the lava cake with my fork, the "lava" oozed immediately from the warm and moist chocolate cake. This one is the best I've tried so far. It's not too sweet and more on the dark side - just the way I like it. Would probably try this next time with coffee!
3. Salted Caramel Gelato. Very thick in consistency, you can actually see the ripples of caramel in it. This is comparable to the gelatos that you can get from famous gelato stores out there.
The cheesecake is really delicious, creamy and big.😊 and of course,best with coffee or any hot beverage of your choice. 😊 Good place to read books or if you wanna finish your powerpoint deadline.😅😅😅🙄🙄🙄
All I can say to this cafe is Wow!!
The food, staff and the ambiance is truly great. No words can ever set out my experience here.
This is my second visit here and it really never disappointed me especially their molten lava cake (Ohhh i wanna melt).😁😁
Will never go wrong to recommend this to my friends and colleagues. 😊
Enjoyed long hours of doing my thesis in this café especially that it has a free wifi. They serve a pleasant tasting coffee but what’s more delightful are their gelatos.

had the lava cake with gelatto as suggested by the lovely lady (not sure if she works there or owns the cafe im too shy to ask) and it was soooooo good. it was the perfect lava cake- gooey and hot on the inside. foodgasm 👅💦
This place is quite special for me (I'll just keep to myself why). But if you're looking for a good gelato around Morato area, Afters is definitely "that" place. Their gelati are one of the bests I've ever had and their selections are quite good indeed.
This is really a place for working. Wifi, socket, COFFEE? Name it! :) I love that this place is quiet so you can concentrate well. They also have 20% off on all the menu from 9am to 6pm! Without the discount, it’s a bit pricey though. But still worth trying. :)
Wifi: ✔️
Sockets: ✔️
We have been frequenting this place for their gelatos which are really great. You have the option to have a taste of each so you could choose which ones you like before you buy. I also find the lady here, who I think might be the owner, very nice and really accommodating as well as her crews. Quiet and relaxing ambiance. Price is a bit expensive but reasonable.
The food and ambiance were both good. I had the molten lava cake, which was just the right amount of sweet, and a “breeze” tea. The place is also perfect for studying, alone or in groups, because there are sockets and free (working) wifi!
I’d just like to commend their service. Their service exceeds it all. The baristas were so nice and friendly!
The gelato is so good. Parking is not too difficult, too. Plus points because they sell Kalita products. It looks like a good place for studying because of the lighting. Plus, the baristas are nice and accomodating.
Went here for their coffee when I happened to pass by Tomas Morato. Saw the positive reviews in Zomato that's why I was curious to try it out. Ordered their caramel macchiato hot coffee and Pomodoro e Basilico pasta. The pasta was good and just had the right bite. Just wished they toasted the side bread. The coffee was just ok not too sweet or bitter. I love the coffee art. It was a Saturday lunch time and the place was still cozy and I love the music! :)
It's one of the place you'll miss if 1) you don't know about it; and 2) you're walking along Tomas Morato and not being observant of the establishments around you. We almost missed it, but as soon as it caught our attention, my friend and I immediately headed in. We were just really famished and eager to try something new. First of all, music was fantastic. If you're one who loves good music like me then you know where to chill next time. Second, I'm giving customer service a thumbs-up. Third, food was great at a reasonable price. Lastly (what you're waiting for), Wi-Fi and sockets, they do have it. There you go.
Ambiance was good. Before we went there, ng check ako ng menu and reviews muna at dahil preggy ako hindi muna ako pwede sa coffee pero lahat ng nasa menu nila is with espresso tlga. So sad.. pero yung ambiance and service very good 😊 yun lng, sana more on attractive sana yung glasses na ginagamit for coffee at sana may art kasi medyo mahal yung price.
5/5- ambiance
5/5- service
3/5- coffee (salted caramel iced)
I had their Salted Caramel Latte one afternoon and thought it was okay. It did have hints of salted caramel that didn't overpower the espresso. I'd say this is a light blend that would be perfectly paired with their cakes. I've also tried their gelato. I'd recommend the Stracciatella and Mascarpone Cheese.
Wifi is reliable and a lot of students also study here. Sockets are also available.
It's what it says: good place for after dinner or after drinks. The molten lava cake probably has gelato on top because they serve smooth and creamy gelato. Their gelato ice cream is one of my favorites. They generally serve pasta, sandwiches and desserts. Love the desserts but the regular food, are well, regular and nothing special. The place, though, is cool for hanging out with friends. They have wifi and a smoking place outside. It's a place where friends relax, talk and laugh a lot.
My girlfriends and I were looking for a place to hangout and since it was Sunday, we know that there are a lot of not so crowded coffee shops and one of them is Afters. We ordered french toast, pancrepe, apple tuna sandwich, sausage& cheese omelette and iced coffee/caramel machiato & hazelnut. I was quite dismayed with my omelette because I expected it to be like Ihop's and the bread is not toasted. I didn't consumed my order. Anyway, the place is nice naman and some of the customers were studying. No plans of coming back anytime soon.

Afters Espresso & Desserts is a cozy cafe along Tomas Morato. It’s located on the same side as McDonald’s. They don’t just serve coffee and desserts, they have some savory food items on their menu too.
Tried their Iced Salted Caramel Latte (P170). I really liked the coffee they used for this. Bonus points for not being overly sweet. Would've been perfect but… where’s the salt? I tasted the caramel but not the salt.
For some reason I felt like having breakfast for dinner that evening. I ordered the Hungry Man’s Platter (P295). Three glorious pieces of chewy pancrepes (pancake x crepe) dusted with powdered sugar are served with scrambled eggs, a German frank, bacon, a pat of butter, and some maple syrup. The pancrepes are the absolute bomb. I wasn’t impressed with their supermarket-variety frank and bacon but the pancrepes are the greatest. I’d order just the Pancrepes (P180) next time.
What Afters Espresso & Desserts is really known for is their Afters Signature Gelato. There are over a dozen flavors at any given time. They change depending on availability. Their gelato comes in Regular (P95 per order) and Premium (P125 per order) flavors.
My two favorite flavors surprisingly fall under the Regular category. The first one is Sea Salt Caramel. Incredibly creamy and just the right level of salty, this is how salted caramel should be done! Now if only they'd follow the same taste profile for their Iced Salted Caramel Latte.
My other pick is Belgian Chocolate. OMG. It tastes like super rich chocolate cake in gelato form. I’ve never liked chocolate ice cream but I love chocolate cake so this is pure love. Incidentally, both Sea Salt Caramel and Belgian Chocolate are bestsellers. You really come here for the gelato.
For a strong coffee and meaty breakfast, this is the restaurant I can recommend. The all meat platter was for 250. It has a big chunks of ham, bacon was a bit small though. The place is cozy and quiet unlike other coffee shop. The molten lava cake was the best.
This place is very much crowded with students who are studying, so it's not a go to place if you would have a loud chit-chat with friends. Their coffees taste average, while the staffs are very accommodating. Restrooms are also well maintained.
I love that aside from serving coffee and tea, they have a wide array of Gelato to choose from. Their desserts aren't bad as well. I also like the peaceful ambiance, unlike the other coffee shops along Tomas Morato that can get too crowded and noisy at times.
Afters was highly recommended by our office mate because they have amazing desserts. This is the reason why I even rated their dessert. They don’t only serve pastries but also gelato!! Jian and I had their molten lava cake which was soo good but a bit pricey. It’s Php250.

There are tons of dessert bars and coffee house along Tomas Morato but you shouldn't miss going here. Very affordable and pretty cool place if you just wanna chill and enjoy some good desserts!
Two thumbs up for their "molten lava cake" and "gelato"! Just the right amount of sweetness and totally melts in your mouth! #sweets
My hot peppermint mocha was pretty disappointing. There was enough mint flavoring to keep it interesting, but the coffee was weak and the drink overall was too sweet. It was just ok, and at that price point I've had better peppermint mochas. Hopefully my next visit will change my mind.
Afters serves the BEST coffee. Theirs is not bitter, not burnt nor earthy. I guess its because its a cold brew with milk? But trust me when I say they have he best coffee because been drinking brewed coffee all over. Also, they have great breakfast choices, with omelettes and pancakes thats a bang for your buck. Lastly friends they have super fast wifi and numerous plugs for your productive meal.
Great place. Been meaning to visit for a long time and finally had the chance. We tried their Molten Lava Cake with Gelato and a cup of Americano. Both were very good. Service was prompt too. A lady, I assume the owner, was very attentive and gracious--she even offered us to sample their homemade gelato. Will definitely come back! Update 04/26/2017:
Their desserts are great, and I've come back here consistently for that and the ambiance. After trying more of their coffee, though, I've been a little unimpressed. Their breve was bland, watery, and even a little bitter. :( Go for the desserts!

From the outside already, this would attract coffee-lovers and those craving fro desserts alike. Going here may be a bit pricey but it's very well worth it. Their menu provides just enough items but these are their specialties so each one of them is sure to be good. You'd really appreciate the chill vibes this place gives out along with the interior decoration that makes you feel relaxed. So overall, this should be your go-to places to either wash your taste buds after a good food trip around Tomas Morato or if you simply just wanna chill.

Craving for cakes and we tried this coffee shop along tomas morato. Only problem here was limited parking areas. The belgian chocolate cake was yummy, not to sweet. The matcha cheesecake was okay, not to yummy for me. They only have a dirty comfort room. 😞

This place is conducive for studying. Great lighting! Bring a jacket because it tends to get too cold if you stayed there for long hours. It is also a great place for after-lunch/dinner dessert since they offer cakes and gelatos.
I ordered Afters Frappé and Molten Lava Cake. The frappé has a hint of cinnamon in it but it tastes good with the drink. I recommend to upgrade your Lava Cake to Molten Lava Cake! Sarap, swear!
The staff is also very accommodating! They will serve a glass of water to new customers and they will also help you change your seat if you feel like switching to a new one.
Overall, a great experience! I will definitely recommend this place to my friends.
My family had dessert here after our dinner. We ordered an affogato, regular and brewed coffee, a salted caramel cheesecake, a moist chocolate cake, mediterrenean mint and ferrero rocher ice cream. We find the ice cream base and the cheesecake topping too sweet; the chocolate cake stale (for about 2 days) but flavor wise it was ok (not too sweet). The coffee though was so good (not too sour like a blondie roast).

The place was packed with people in their laptops and big group of friends alike. We went here to study so it's nice to see people in their laptops and people with their studying materials. Nevertheless, you can also see friends in big group so the place is not too quiet. We ordered tiramisu gelato which tasted heavenly. It's smoother than ice cream. Their cappuccino is okay. Overall, a nice place to hangout but I will hesitate if I'm looking for a quieter place to work and be productive.
This is one of my favorite cafés in the Metro!
They serve not only coffees,frappes,sandwiches and cakes....they also serve gelato!! Isn't that amazing?! Lol but yeah.. And they serve guiltless but promising gelato!
A year ago, a friend of mine and I ordered gelato and a cake. Then just yesterday, I brought my guy for dinner here. It was his first time. I told him this is where the award winning Walang Forever movie had a shoot in one of their scenes (but I think not in this branch, hehe) but still! Hehe
So last night we ordered:
*Carbonara (220php) -creamy,flavorful & filling! Served with a pesto bread
*Sausage and Olive oil pasta (200+ i forgot) -tasty, not too salty & classy pasta. Also served with a pesto bread
*Molten Lava Cake (240php) -WE DIED AND FELT HEAVEN!! Super yummy&unforgettable&sinful dessert! Hahah You have to try this, guys!!
If this is not too far from our house, I will always "tambay" here and eat gelato. Hehe! Perfect score of 5 for Afters! Hooray!
Good place to chill and hangout with friends, really cozy.
I have been here twice already and the place did not disappoint my friends and I.
The ambiance and interior is really nice.
I also loved their gelato ice creams.
I came to Afters for a midnight coffee fix. It was one of the few cafes that stay open past midnight. The interior was really nice, as portrayed in the pictures of other people. They have a rustic-industrial design that give a quirky and instagrammable venue. Their chairs and tables were pretty cramped though so I was hearing everything that the other table was talking about.
I ordered their french press coffee with Brazilian beans and it wasn't bad. But it lacked a bit of body. Also, it seemed a bit expensive for just a single cup. Normally french press coffees last till at least 2 cups. I was also a bit disappointed that they poured the coffee for me rather than served it with the french press. I understand that it may be because they only have limited french presses, but it takes away the wonder of the french press, especially for first timers. They also offered Chemex but upon my inquiry they did not have it, which is just the case as with all other cafes but why offer if you don't have it.
Nonetheless, I'd give their coffee another try and I'd want to try their desserts next time.
Update: I decided to return to this place to give it a second chance. This time, I tried their Afters Frappe, their Cappuccino, and their Lava Cake. It was a much better experience. I was surprised that their frappe was better than I expected and it did its job in giving me the caffeine I wanted. Additionally, although their cappuccino was not remarkable, it had its simple and smooth taste. I finally got the chance to try their lava cake and it was really good. It was moist and not too sweet. It's a lovely companion for the coffee. It wasn't too much either, just right.
Like before, it was still quite noisy as there were more people this time but it wasn't too much of a bother. This experience successfully amended my previous complaints. I'd like to return and try their other items.
The place looked good before, and looked even better after renovation! This is one of my go-to chill places with friends, and what I absolutely love is their gelato! Can't wait to go back!
I love their afogato and molten lava cake!
Their afogato has a very nice combination of sweetness of the gelato and bitterness of the espresso.
Their molten lava cake is heavenly. The cake is very moist, combined with the chocolate sauce which is not sweet. And the ice cream on top coated with chocolate balances out everything.
The place is nice and the staffs are very accommodating. The only downside is the prices . Too expensive for the serving size.

After an afternoon of Rak of Aegis and dinner at Mantaro, we were looking for a place for dessert. A quick search in zomato yielded this coffee shop along Tomas Morato. Their specialty is chocolate lava cake and they did not disappoint. It's sweet but it's not heavy at all. And there's so much chocolate in it too. Goes super well with their coffee and gelato. I ordered mascarpone gelato with it and they taste really good together.
Aside from the food, i really like the ambience of this place. It's not like other coffee shops which stress me out due to the noise and number of people. This is the most chill coffee shop I've ever been to.
I think the only negative to this place is the parking. Really hard to find a spot but if you can find one, this place is definitely worth it.
EDIT: After my I introduced this place to my family, this has been our almost go to dessert and coffee place for the last year. I added a photo of their molten lava cake. So gooood. It's their already delicious lava cake with ice cream covered in a chocolate shell and chocolate sauce. Diabetes on a plate for sure

Very nice place to study and have some short talk with friends. The food is very good, however a little bit pricey! I recommend the hungry man platter👌🏼
Been here once but i liked their food and coffee. Wasnt too quiet as i remember. It is not suited for studying. It us a place for socializing and getring some good dessert. ☺
Love this place for many reasons.
Great coffee, FREE and reasonably fast Wi-fi (a hard find in the Metro) and not overly crowded. I'm almost double thinking writing this review now to keep this place all to myself.
Afters is a place for good coffee based drinks and desserts. I wouldn't really go here to grab lunch/dinner but you can.
Like I've said, unlike the Starbucks' and Coffee Bean's of the world, Afters is rarely packed and you can usually find a cozy place to spot inside to coffee-tate and get your Wi-fi fix in.
Personal Faves:
-Afters Frappe, an iced drink with 2 shots of espresso, cream, syrup and a bit of cinnamon. Doesn't even get bland when the ice starts to melt away.
-Chocolate & Cheesecake Symphony, awesome combo of cheesecake and chocolate layers for those with a sweet tooth.
-Also be sure to use the bathroom, wash your hands and smell their hand soap. BEST SMELL AROUND. I kid you not.
This place made my super stressed out self really happy. I would have wanted the green tea latte to be thicker than what they served but overall, food is good. I had the Spicy Hungarian Sausage sandwich then the vanilla gelato. But I think I ate more of my friend's dark chocolate gelato. Glad they serve Daude tea as well. I'm so happy. I'll keep on going back whenever I need a weekend escape.

The sun was just scorching outside so we made a beeline to Afters after our meeting in the area. My partner settled for the Mango Sorbet while I wolfed down a cup of Ferrero Rocher flavored gelato. Nay, we had spoonfuls from each of ours. The sorbet had an initial assault of sourness but I was eventually able to appreciate how authentic the taste was.
Yep it is one of the most authentic places where you can get good coffee and also for their gelatos as well. Their affogato is something for anyone who must try it once you're here and also there are a wide variety of other flavors for you to choose. I really must say that it is worth the travel up north for you to chill after a good meal in the Tomas Morato area.
I was always curious as to what kind of desserts they offer in this cafe. Once in, yep, they serve cakes! Tried out one cake of theirs which Ive already forgotten what its called, by the pictures, it is sweet but one of a kind! Seldom do I see cafes straying away from the usual cakes such as the chocolate cakes or cheesecakes but this place did the total opposite! they serve cakes which you do not usually see!
The place was very cozy. Not as packed as other Cafés around the area.
We had the lava cake! I've been craving for it for quite some time now.
I will definitely come back for more! 🍰
After a night of light drinking my friends and I went here for milk and cookies. Nice to have something new once in a while. Yummy cookies tho. Their chocolate lava cake was my favorite!!! Not too sweet 😋
It's my first visit here and too bad their air-con (in our seating area) was broken. Well, its not that hot anyway that we managed to eat and chat for 3.5 hours. We ordered their spicy sardine pasta, carbonara, chocolate cheesecake, sansrival, salted caramel cheesecake & macadamia hazelnut latte. I recommend all the food that I mentioned because they're all so good.

SWEET ENDING is the Best part, having coffee and sweets while chichatting with friends.
This Place i quite COOL..... Quiet, Cozy dimmed.
Cakes too Sweet though but YEAH I still like the place.
Breakfast Meal is OKAY too....
Life is so much better with coffee. At least that's how I see it. Saturday is one busy day for coffee shops especially in the malls.
It's awesome to know that one can have a choice to go to Afters Tomas Morato during that normal busy day.
They serve coffee, tea and juice. Pastas, sandwiches and desserts are also available.

Known for their delicious Gelatos, this cafe/dessert place is conveniently located in front of Elorde Gym; perfect to ruin that workout. Kidding, kidding. :P
The ambience of Afters Espresso is classy and elegant making this a great place for low-key dates or afternoon coffee with friends.
Their Gelatos are glorious and totally worth checking out. For Php95/scoop, you will definitely have the time of your life. Their gelatos have a smooth, velvety creamy texture which I liked. My personal favorites are cookies and cream, salted caramel, and of course, their Afters Espresso Gelato.
The servers were very helpful and gave us lots of samples so that we could choose from all of the gelato flavours. They also offer Italian sodas, premium coffees, and flavoured lattes that go well with their cakes.
There's not much seating, but it gets the job done, as I don't think that this place is very busy during the colder months. Regardless, this place was cozy and I will definitely come back again soon!
After a great dinner dinner in the area, my friends and I decided to get something more sinful. Starbucks was too full that night and we haven't tried Afters which my friend kept raving about so we decided to give it a go. The cakes tasted great although the Carrot Cake would've been better had there been more cream cheese. Service was quick and staff were very attentive. This would definitely be a go to place from now on.

The ambience of the cafe is really nice. The colors and the lights really suits the vibe they are going for and I like their choice of music which are trendy and easy to listen to. Unfortunately, I did not have room for their gelatos which seemed really delicious.
We had their chocolate lava cake and their Oreo cheesecake. The designs on their cakes were really nice. The molten chocolate lava cake was really good as it was not sweet. You can really taste chocolate. I like how the chocolate on top of the ice cream hardens which is a plus on presentation. However the inside wasn't hot though I guess it does not have to be. The Oreo cheesecake was also good as the cream cheese nor the Oreos overpowered each other.
I will definitely come back to try their gelatos! So it is a place I would definitely recommend as they did not disappoint.
Nice place,good food and good service not so affordable like the spanish sardines pasta and the hot hungarian sausage the serving is not for sharing.
I've always been intrigued by this place everytime I pass by Tomas Morato. So when I was craving coffee one traffic-heavy afternoon & saw that there was a parking slot available in front of Afters, I grabbed the opportunity to try their offerings.
I just wanted to try their coffee but when I saw the gelato station, I knew I had to try one (coffee & ice cream combo!). I went with the suggested best sellers: Macademia Hazel Nut Latte & Sea Salt Caramel Gelato. Both lived up to expectations! The latte was just a little bit strong for me, I'll probably stick with cappucino on ordinary days.
Moreover, this is a cafe camper dream with free wifi & electrical outlets around. The place is also well-designed with its homey warm brown interiors. Staff are also friendly & always checking that your complimentary glass of water is up to the brim. I'll definitely be back here to try their other sweets.
Only downside is that their bathroom was dirty & was out of character with the rest of the interiors, & parking space depends on availability which is sometimes hard to predict.

Cozy place. I like so much their food offerings. This place reminds me of one of the coffee shops in Kapitolyo Pasig. This place is perfect for meetings and reviews or even for those who wants to have an alone time. 😀
Had our breakfast here, nice relaxing place perfect for holding meetings or just plain breakfast with friends or love ones. I also tried their strawberry gellato! It was so tasty and good for 2 persons, pasta was a bit salty though. Their breakfast meals also comes in with free coffee. They also have desserts you can try unfortunately we were not able to try it, next time then!!
