Toby's Estate - Niles

12/18/2019 We had our group dinner last Wednesday at Tobys estate salcedo. It’s a 15 minutes walk from the office a little far to prep your appetite . The place is really cozy, not a lot of people even if it’s dinner time, compared to super crowded resto 2 blocks from toby’s. There were only 2 tables occupied when I arrived.. pretty peaceful. So if you want a relaxed dinner date, this is a great place. When I walked in I was greeted immediately by the host, very polite. I was the 1st one to arrive so while waiting I order the iced flat white. A little bitter but I like it. It’s creamy and just divine! I read couple of reviews to know what to order- seafood paella was mostly best reviewed, however this branch does not offer that... so I ordered the 2nd best which is chorizo rigatoni pasta, my friends had vongole, chicken hash (I think), wagyu burger (not sure) and of course we tried their creme brûlée and Calamansi pie. I had a bite of vongole, it’s a little bland for me compared to the chorizo pasta. For 1st timers I recommend the chorizo pasta. I like the creme Brûlée best compare to the calamansi pie. Overall ‘twas a pleasant dinner! I highly recommend this place. Definitely will be back for breakfast next time!

Great ambiance! Their chai latte is now a new favorite. Will definitely come back to try their drinks. The grilled cheese sandwich was ok.

Booky currently offers a legitimate buy one take one for cold brew and cappuccino. So I tried the cold brew dark version and asked for extra syrup. It definitely gave me the much needed caffeine fix for an otherwise sleepy Friday afternoon at work. And yes, I paired it with a Bucky’s Original which is a moist chocolate brownie slice that gave a nice balance to the bitterness of the brew. The place looks fresh and spacious, not cramped despite a full house. And the servers were friendly too.

The coffee was so lovingly made and the cookie was soft with chunks of walnuts. If I wasn’t a dietitian I would’ve tried their chocolate chip cookie as well. Oh well! Something to look forward to next time.

Always love going here. Cookies are served warm, coffee tastes good and their calamansi pie is amazing! Might need to up the temperature though, place is a little warm the last visit
