A few days ago, I got invited by Avida Land to experience a food trip in Banawe and our first stop is G's Cafe.
Why Banawe? Because just 15-minutes aways, Ayala Land Inc. is developing an 11-hectare project right at the juncture of North LuzonExpressway, Edsa and A. Bonifacio Avenue called Cloverleaf Balintawak.
It will be a whole new place by 2020 as there will be QualiMed Hospital, Avida Towers Cloverleaf as residential towers, an Ayala Mall, retail strips and office buildings.
So along Banawe is G's Cafe is at the second floor of Gears Autoshop so it's not that the first thing that will catch your attention. In fact, I was really surprised at it's wide floor space. Just like in coffee shops, it has a counter with a cake chiller.
But, what makes it distinguishable from all other cafes is it's automobile theme. It reminded me of the manly bikers bars along Mexico or Texas that I see on American films.
There's a rack where you can purchase mobile accessories.
What I particularly liked the most is their wall brick wall with cool stuffs that will remind you of road driving.
And, there's a bar with leather race car seats. Pretty neat huh? Seeing these seats also reminded me that when I was a little kid, it was one of my dreams to have my own racing arcade machine at home. (Like most childhood dreams, that somehow faded away. I think because when I was a child I was materialistic and now, I'm more experiential.)
Food
Seeing the beautifully prepared easy over egg on the Camber Crispy Bacon and Honey Cured Hamis already a plus for me. Then it was served with a perfectly crispy bacon and savory cured ham. How can I not like this right? And, I have to add that the potato chips served as side dish with garlic sauce is addicting!
The Radial Roast Beef Sandwich is one of the best-sellers at G's Cafe (according to Swarm tips when I logged in!). I totally agree with their conviction because I also fell for this tasty roast beef with creamy mushroom and melted cheese sandwich.
If you like breaded dishes like cordon bleu, you'll definitely like their Breaded Ham and Cheese.
To be honest, I was expecting the Dark Choco Cheese Panini to be an ordinary panini stuffed with chocolate spread which you can affordably buy from the grocery. But, I was so wrong! It was rich and bitter-sweet. It reminded me of pandesal being dipped over thick hot cocoa but this was richer or maybe like Nutella without the hazelnut. The cheese is very subtle.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
We've only tried sandwiches and coffee which is not even a quarter of the menu at G's Cafe. I'm very pleased with our dining experience. I really love the theme and the price is very reasonable. I look forward to trying more of their menu next time.
