Jamie's Cakery & Kitchen - Cainta

Great hangout place. I enjoyed their very affordable foods. I love this place! The ambiance was cool and so classy. Gonna recommend this place to my friendsssss!

Late post, 3 months ago. I don't go out that much beyond Rizal (as I work at home anyway) but fortunately there are a lot of places here to eat and hang out. Whenever stress hits me, I usually go out to eat, not too far away from home. Most of the time I go back to a certain resto or cafe again and again, and sometimes I'm on the quest to find a new place for some grub. Some time ago I read a customer review of a new-ish cafe in Taytay called Jamie's Cakery & Kitchen, but it's just recently that I decided to try it out. Locating it is easy. Get off at Singer along Ortigas Avenue Extension. Then go to E. Rodriguez Ave., which is also the way to Siena College Taytay and Taytay New Life Fellowship (the latter is much nearer to the cafe, about a couple of blocks away). You may want to flag down a trike for ₱20 per head, but we figured we could just walk all the way to save some fare -- and we found out that Jamie's is just relatively near from the main thoroughfare and pretty much accessible. Cafe is small, I think it could accommodate only 20+ people, including the outdoor seating at the storefront. One thing you'd instantly notice about Jamie's is the color scheme -- it doesn't hold back on the pastel. Which is fine especially when it's hit by a natural light from the outside -- good for #foodporn photography. However, we elected to dine outside as the day was cool and windy, even at 3 in the sunny afternoon. There's also a cute "pastel crib" at the corner, consisting of a mat, a low table and pastel-colored throw pillows where customers can laze around while dining. Make sure you take off your footwear first before settling yourself in the pastel crib. No Wi-Fi, as the cafe encourages real and personal conversation and interaction. The crew may be busy at the time -- in fact they seemed to forget one of my orders -- but they made sure you'd have every meal you need! We had lunch already at home so we ordered mostly sweets as we were hankering for them. What we had: ????Tuna & Mushroom Penne (₱85) ⭐⭐⭐  - I was looking for any piquancy or any salt in the dish. Kind of bland to me, although I could pick out hints of garlic. ????Bacon Waffle ala Mode (if that's the name haha) (₱150) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I loved this dish! Freshly-made, soft, thick and fluffy waffle sprinkled with crunchy bacon bits, topped with three scoops of vanilla ice cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce. It was served with maple syrup which you drizzle onto the waffle. Even when the dish later turned cold, the waffle was still soft to the bite and the bacon bits remained crunchy. ????Ube Galaxy Cheesecake (₱95 per slice) ⭐⭐⭐  Unlike what I saw from the pictures on FB and IG, the Ube Galaxy Cake that I had looked more like a rainbow cheesecake to me. I liked that it was a bit salty, which a cheesecake should really be I guess. Other cheesecakes are too sweet for me. However, there was only a hint of ube, something which I was kind of let down considering I love ube and I expected the cake to have much of ube flavor. It looked gorgeous though! ????Unicorn Cake Ball (₱20 per piece) - ⭐⭐⭐  It looked pretty! But no fondant ears (unlike the ones I saw on the pics). Cake itself was OK, it was soft. I just ate some of the butter cream icing, I'm not a fan of that. ????Butterbeer Float (₱65) -⭐⭐⭐  Not too sweet, having a bit of effervescence (to me at least). I loved the mason jar, the shape reminded me of plastic containers of gulaman sold on the sidewalks. ????Cafe Viet (₱65) -  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ My first Vietnamese coffee, methinks! Served with condensed milk. It's strength was quite distinctive from the usual coffee I get. Heavy and intense, and earthy too. If this was really a Vietnamese coffee, then my quest to try it officially ended here! I liked it, despite having a hard time dissolving the condensed milk as the coffee was cold. Jamie's is a self-service cafe. There's a station where you can get a glass of water and cutlery by yourself. The ambiance - ⭐⭐⭐ Colors were pretty, the decor was sparse but cute and highly Instagrammable, but the music inside was a bit too loud at the time we were there, which undermined the cafe's "laid-back" and "relaxing" factor a bit. Price - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ quite affordable! The cafe also serves burgers, sandwiches, rice meals and starters. I want to try the pita and the chicken with waffles next time, as well as their hot drinks and rice meals. Selection of cakes and other sweets was limited though. Recommended (so far) - Bacon Waffle (ala mode). Good enough for two! Average rating (based on the number of stars in this review) - 3.5 For lovers: you can express your love (and promise to each other) by affixing lovelocks at the railings outside the cafe.
