Exploring Maginhawa: Cool Beans

Another lunch time in Maginhawa Street with my workmate Jhem. 

I've seen cool beans in Kris TV first. I am so convinced that the pasta are nice because I am a pasta lover! And also I like the concept of reading books while eating or sipping your favorite drink. 



Jhem ordered: 

Breaded Chicken 

  
And 

Hazelnut Frappucino

     Chocolate Lava is mine. Lol! 

And I ordered the Chocolate Lava and Mac and Cheese. 


Let me start my review. 

Food

Jhem's food first. So according to her the Hazelnut Frappe taste like vanilla only, no hazelnut, no bits or pieces of hazelnut.  And the Breaded Chicken, she said the flavors are only on the skin. Inside the chicken is so dull. 

I ordered the Mac and Cheese and the Lava Cake

Well, the Mac and Cheese needs more improvement because it doesn't taste like cheese, only some parts because there are bits of cheese. But it taste like light carbonara more cream than cheese. 

Maybe I am just expecting too much with the Lava Cake because of the videos I've been watching in Facebook. I thought when you pop the middle of the cake there will be lave of melted chocolate. But It is yummy and I like how moist the cake is. For me it is an average. 

Restaurant Cleanliness 

Cool beans is very neat, no left overs on the tables, and all empty chairs has clean tables in where you can sit right away to the spot you choose.

Ambiance

I like how serene the place is, it is like a library with a restaurant. If you want to a place to read or study at the same eat here is a perfect spot for you.

Concept

And hey! They also have lots of books magazines you can borrow and read while munching your snack. 


You can bring yours kids if you want to. They have unique selections of books. 


Service 

It would be very difficult to rate their service because the restaurant is a self-service resto. Time wise, the cook or the chef is fast. They have service water and they will call you according to the food that you've ordered. Maybe it is a little bit disappointing because some of the food we want to order are not available. 

All in all I will give them 3 stars out of 5. I will go back here and give them a chance to try the other pasta.
