Cafe Sanso: Artistic and Cozy Cafe Next to Museo Sanso (P Guevarra San Juan City)

It was a random Saturday when I invited little sister for a late lunch at the newCafe Sanso. 

We were hoping to check out Museo Sanso right next to it.  Unfortunately, it was closed for renovation. 

It has a beautiful al fresco area.  My lil sis and I can't help but imagine how romantic and magical this set up can be at night.



Walking in, we first noticed the counter with a chiller.

Deli
They have a selection of meat cuts and cheeses available for sale.

We easily found ourselves eased in as we found our choice of seating.

We love the artistic play of colors and the minimalist and clean vibe that exudes coziness.

You can check the art of famous artist Sanso and other artists while waiting for your orders. 

Food

Complimentary Bread

Quick to be served on our table is the warm Complimentary Bread.  This warm good enough to keep us company while waiting for the rest of the orders.  It took some time for the rest of the dishes to be served and they were served one at a time.   But, we didn't mind given the ambiance and it was expected since they are still on their soft opening.

Sopa

Sopa de Ajo (140 php)

I' so glad they have my favorite Spanish soup.  The Sopa de Ajo is creamier than others I've tried but still as rich in garlic taste.  We may be biased for loving it.  But, we really do love it!

Ensalada

Jamon Serrano, Melon and Mango Salad (295 php)

The Jamon Serrano, Melon and Mango Salad was so beautiful we couldn't help but be giddy happy as it was served.  All the toppings are so perfect together.  However, we felt that the citrus herbed vinaigrette is too much so it was overpowering the taste of the ingredients.

Sandwiches

Grilled Chicken and Vegetable Tortilla (290 php)

Just by looking at the melted manchego cheese of the Grilled Chicken and Vegetable Tortilla, we were already drooling.  The cheese with the cajun style chicken bits and balsamic marinated vegetables.is just so wholesome.  The candied walnut salad completes it nutritionally too.


Postre

Leche Frita (240 php)

It was our first time to try the classic Spanish dessert Leche Frita.

Leche Frita (240 php)

The Leche Frita was a breaded dessert with a firm, sweet and smooth milk pudding inside.  If you're into deep-fried desserts, this is for you.

Signature Beverages

Mint Citrusade (140 php) and Agua Fresca (130 php)

The Mint Citrusade is too sweet for us.  We highly recommend the Agua Fresca.  It's so refreshing and cleansing.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Although newly opened, Cafe Sanso has already flocks of customers seeking its quality drinks and food. And, I can understand why.  It serves quality dishes with top-notch ingredients.  The staff is very friendly so you feel so welcomed.  Our experience was superb!  I'd definitely drop by again if in the area.  I hope their coffee is available by then as lil sis was quite disappointed when we found out that they don't have it yet.
