After its grand opening last February 28, I made it a point to check out the newly renovated Carlos Bakery and Cafe. From its being a rundown pasalubong center years ago which doesn't deserve a second look, it has reinvented itself not only worthy of a second look but would entice passersby to stop, look and listen ....well to their heart's desire of checking it inside out. A sleek and colorful interior greets you the moment you enter. To the left is their baked goods and desserts section, either for pasalubong or just being part of your order in the cafe. From the usual cookies and biscuits plus breads and pastries to cakes and their famous crema de fruta, it's a treat just even to look at them. To the right is the cafe which is reminiscent of JD at the Roadhouse (in fact the whole place is like JD, but IMO Carlo's has a much better ambiance). Attentive servers would then rush to get your orders. A good place to relax and let time take its course as you dine and watch...
