Shelter + Gigi Cupcakes

So I finally had a glimpse of the other branch of my most favorite cupcake shop in Manila, no other than Gigi Coffee and Cupcakes! You can read my review here so you have an idea how much I loved the place and almost all of the cupcakes they sell. It was a very long day for me at work so I decided to have a quick me-time on a mid-week.


Glad I remembered their new branch at the East Wing is now open. At first, I was hesitant if I am at the right floor because what you will first notice is Shelter Home and Design. I think it's a good idea that they incorporated the cupcake shop with home furnishings because after all, we all wanted to experience a homey and comfortable place as we sink our teeth with yummy goodies, right? It made the entire place more welcoming for photo op.


Was there a shop name before you enter? I didn't notice any. I just knew it was it because their interiors were a combination of green and white, and of course the cupcake shelves!


I was hoping to order Sea Salt and Green Tea cupcakes but I wasn't so lucky. So I settled with Red Velvet and Choco Chips for Php50/each. Both were awesome choices and on your first bite you will notice how moist it is. The price is just right for the cupcake size. You don't get fed up easily and that gives us higher chances of trying another flavor.


All of a sudden, my afternoon ended perfectly. I can do this everyday, promise! Ha ha! Oh, the joy of munching your comfort food! My eyes feasted too on these pretty Christmas home displays. Loved that golden mini London Eye!


Take a closer look of my cupcakes and tell me how they are.
Here's a little downside. Since I am just beside the counter, I overheard that if you want your cupcake placed in a single box, that's Php25 on top of your bill. Why? That's already half the price of the cupcake itself.


Anyway, the East Wing has a good air-condition level so I make sure to visit the loo before heading home.
In case you haven't been there, here it is. So posh, it can already pass as a 2-3 star hotel lounge eh?


And here's the happy me. Do I look like one? Mabilisang selfie yan, kasi baka may pumasok! HAHA!
