The 4-year old Donuts and Coffee brand from Indonesia finally hits Manila!
JCO's first ever local store in The Strip, Megamall finally opened up to the public last March 15 (weee!) --- it's one out of the other three soon-to-open locations (SM MOA, Trinoma, Greenbelt). I'm really excited to check out the Trinoma branch as well --- it's just 2 cartwheels away from my crib (ok, maybe 3 or 4..haha!) *wink*
Luckily, we just had dinner in Megamall the day after it's grand opening. My friends and I never let the chance to slip away --- and this is all because of the nth time that we were larking around JCO's not-yet-open Trinoma store (haha!)
We've tried their JCOccino (Hot and Frappe), Green Tea Frappe, Caffe Avocado and Hot Tiramisu. The hot bevs were nice. Tiramisu became more appealing than JCOccino (their cappucino rendition) especially because of it's aroma. It has this cake-meets-coffee smell :)
The frappes proved themselves strong and likable. Caffe Avocado was quite a treat! JCOccino Frappe will never let you down as well. However, Green Tea Frappe stole my heart away :) (maybe part of it was due to this fact ---> I'm a certified green tea lover *wink*)
I really like their Frappes! Not too bland nor too sweet --- it's the perfect in-between sweetness!
Meanwhile, for the donuts, we settled to try Alcapone (their bestseller) and Green Tea. Both are a blast to the taste! Soft, moist and not too sweet donuts! Alcapone surely deserve it's spot.
All in all, I will definitely be back for more coffee, donuts and hanging-out sessions in JCO! Let the invasion begin! *wink* :)
