Love for Cakes: Conti's Bakeshop and Restaurant
I was introduced to this restaurant way back last year and I really enjoyed their food specially their cakes. I am always looking forward to having their cakes ever since but their branches were far from our place so I rarely dine in there.
Earlier this year, my friends and I used to hang out at Robisons’ Magnolia and fortunately Conti's also had a branch there. We promised each other to dine on the restaurant on our next visit on the mall and walah, that day is now (after 7 months) and of course we delight in their cakes for dinner.
OVERVIEW:
Conti's is located at the ground floor of Robinsons’ Magnolia. Its entrance, however, was not located on the mall per se but rather facing Dona Hemady Street.
SERVICE:
They have very visible service crew. They are also attentive to our wants which made me smile. Well, we only ordered for cake slices and a pasta so they have not done much work on us.
FOODIES:
I did not order for their famous Mango Bravo since I have tried it before. I, as well as my friends, opt to try other cakes so we take their Viennese Mocha Torte, Bananalicious Pie and Mango Tart.

| Mango Tart for Php 80 Sweet pie crust filled with vanilla cream and chunks of fresh ripe mangoes topped with mango slices (from contis.ph) |
Their mango tart was delicious. It is a cream filled cake that matches the generous amount of mango slices on top of it. Plus, the crust was so delicious.
 |
| Bananlicious Pie for Php 90 Buttery crust filled with vanilla cream and chunks of ripe bananas topped with cashew nuts, chocolate and caramel syrups on whipped cream icing (from contis.ph) |
My friend wanted to have frozen bananas on her cake so she take the Bananalicious Pie. The cake was so yummy. It also has a yummy crust which taste like mango tart's crust. Frozen bananas are so delicious.
 |
| Viennese Mocha Torte for Php 115 Layers of mocha-flavored mousse, wafer and moist choco cake coated with rich mocha butter cream icing topped with almond sticks finished with chocolate ganache (from contis.ph) |
Last, but not the least, is the Viennese Mocha Torte. I think it has the same slice size as that of the Mango Bravo. It was made mostly of chocolate but not the very sweet one. What I like most about this cake is its icing. I rarely ate icings but this was different because it is mocha flavored and I believe it has a high caffeine content which rubbed my sleepiness away. Its icing was also garnished with almonds and I love almonds a lot which made the icing more appealing for me.
I really recommend this restaurant for foodies like me. Nothing beats a great dessert at the end of a tiring day! So satisfy your cravings for desserts the Conti's way.
