I wasn't expecting to eat here as I was just running errands in the mall. I had a large Presotea in my hand and decided that I wanted food so I headed over to Cacao 70. To my surprise, they didn't say anything about me bringing in a drink from elsewhere. We were seated promptly on a Saturday afternoon.
The entire place is very aesthetically pleasing from the tiles to the wallpaper and the decor. It's open, spacious, and airy.
I personally thought our server was a little awkward. When she came to take our order, she approached our table and said "hello" and just stood there. No "may I take your order?" or anything of the sort. I don't see an issue with the pricing like some of the other reviews. I think it's fair considering the type of cafe you're in.
We ordered the Savoury Waffle ($15.25) and the Smoked Salmon Bagel ($11.75). No drinks for us since I had my giant Presotea! The waffle was delicious with the ham and sunny side up eggs. I don't eat mushrooms but you can't taste it in this dish. Quite a good portion and I only finished half of it. I would NOT recommend the Smoked Salmon Bagel. The bagel itself was not good. I just think this dish could be improved upon.
Regardless, I will be returning in the future to try other food/beverages on the menu. I just won't order any bagels!
