My good friend Rochelle recently opened a cafe called O'Railey's Cafe in G/F One Joroma Place Bldg, Congressional Ave QC. It's located just a few buildings from Starbucks and right beside Crave Burger Congressional.
I took this opportunity to see her since its been years since we last saw each other and at the same time, host a bloggers event to cover her cafe and spreading the news of its existence in the blogging world.
The place was small but very cozy. It can sit around 10 people and it had the homey feel of a cafe. The chairs were comfortable to sit at but not too comfortable to warrant sitting on for hours. This is probably a good move on the owners part to ensure the turn around of people.
I also like how a lot of the small details were personalized. It felt that the cafe had a personality of its own.
We were given 4 drinks to try. We had the Cafe Mocha and Caramello for the hot drinks and we had the sparkling soda as well as the milk tea.
caramello ... my favorite! |
cafe mocha |
uber refreshing Sparkling Soda |
Wintermelon and Hazelnut milk tea |
They also serve pasta and cakes.
pesto |
carbonara |
bolognese |
Overall, I would definitely recommend their coffee, sparkling soda, and milk tea. I have yet to try their cake and savor the pasta next time. I was so full that I wasn't able to do justice to it.
with the owner, Rochelle |

* I was invited to review the food. I did not pay for my meal. However, the free meal did not in any way sway my opinion and everything you read here is MY PERSONAL OPINION.
Aww.. Sayang talaga I wasn't able to come with you guys. The drinks look yummy! :) Will try to drop by at O'Railey's soon though. Or hopefully there'll be another blogger tasting for this cafe.. ^^

comfort, ambiance and coffee taste are the things i look for a Cafe plus the wifi connection.
ReplyDeleteDoes it have a wifi connection too?
looking at the pics... i suddenly have the urge to eat LOL... Yahweh bless.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I don't drink coffee. Enjoy your coffee break at O'Raileys Cafe. Besides, I don't crave for such alertness-inducing drink since I was a kid, though my parents were drinking them every early in the morning.

i love milk tea... but, umm, what's wintermelon? haven't heard of that here in dubai :(
ReplyDeletei need a coffee now!
ReplyDeletenice ambiance and presentation of coffee, drinks and food...do they offer cakes and sandwiches too?
at first, I read it as "oh really". This looks like a good place to stop buy for a snack or too. With their limited capacity, that was a good idea to make their chairs have a "comfortable expiration time" (pass this time and you won't be comfortable with the chair anymore lol).
ReplyDeletetingin palang masarap na!hihihi. nasa line ba sya ng starbucks and other cafe stores?
