Last week, we got the chance to chill out at California Berry SM Mezza Residences with our friends Anton, John and Savannah. Upon reaching SM Mezza Residences, the store sign California Berry and see through windows looks so inviting we wanted to go in immediately.
California Berry SM Mezza is the best branch I've ever seen. It is has a clean spacious modern minimalist interiors. It was the perfect hang out place so naturally customers were mostly students from nearby schools. It has cozy chairs and even a sofa. It's been a long time since we've tried California Berry and we're glad that they now offer more varieties.
Food
 |
| ♥Seafood Alfredo (145 php) |
The Seafood Alfredo is as delicious as it looks. The pasta is filled with natural seafood flavors. It has chunks of shrimps and calamari are sure to satisfy your taste buds. I love that it has a lot of cheese to enhance the taste. The texture of the pasta is just right. The white sauce is light and creamy.
 |
| Cheesy Lasagna (145 php) |
The Cheesy Lasagna as the name implies is rich in cheesy goodness! The cheese and meat perfectly complementts the pasta. In every bite, you can feel the oozing cheese flavor and the juicy meaty taste. It tasted similar to greenwich's lasagna but it was more cheesy!
Drinks
We're so glad that they now offer Fresh Fruit Blends! We love fruit shakes so we're excited to try some of their offerings.
 |
| ♥BananaRama (95 php) |
The BananaRama is a mix of kiwi, banana and mango. As indicated by the name, the dominant flavor in this fruit shake is the banana. It tasted like sweet fresh tropical bananas. It's really delicious and refreshing! As you sip, you could enjoy chewing on the crunchy Kiwi Seeds too. Speaking of Kiwi Seeds, did you know that these kiwi seeds are richer than flax seeds in Omega-3 fatty acid called alpha-linolenic acid?
 |
| Mango Tango (95 php) |
The Mango Tango is a blend of Mango, Banana and Peach. It came in a slightly more yellowish color than the BananaRama. Although it was rich in ingredients, we felt that the icy drink was a bit bland. It tasted lightly of Mango and a little of peach. We were not able to recognize the banana flavor.
Cold Treats for Dessert
We've tried the California Berry Yogurt before so we want to try their new Ice Ice Baby! They also call these Japanese Ice Cream. Upon seeing their Ice Ice Baby selections, there were so many babies to choose from so it was difficult to decide.
 |
| Original Baby with Blueberry and Kiwi (65 php) |
The Original Baby with Blueberry and Kiwi is my kind of treat. I just love the sweet and tangy taste of blueberry and kiwi contrasted by the smooth milky taste of thinly shaved ice. Every spoonful of this cold light treat is sensational.
 |
| Original Baby with Mango (65 php) |
The Original Baby with Mango is simple but always satisfying. Mango goes well with almost anything. Kurt loved his Mango baby because he loves mangoes.
The great thing about the Ice Ice Baby is that it has a lot of options because each and everyone of us has our own preference and favorites. Next time, we'll try to explore on the wilder alternatives. It's highly recommend for those who don't like the tarty tanginess of frozen yogurt and want to enjoy a cool and light treat. At the price of 65 php, it is very affordable.
Overall, it is an awesome place to chill out for anybody. Now, you can visit California Berry not just for frozen yogurts but for a cool drink, a fulfilling lunch or dinner and for their new Ice Ice Baby!
