Being a toy collector himself, my only brother shared with us about Sci-Fi Cafe with much enthusiasm. So one Saturday evening, we beamed up there to check it out at Robinson's Galleria.
As the place was surrounded by glass windows, you could already see from the outside that it was filled with collectible toys or hot toys. It's like entering a different dimension when Science Fiction can be reality.
"What is real? How do you define real? If you're talking about what you can hear, what you can smell, taste and feel then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain." ~ The Matrix
Inside it had a limited seating capacity. It has a cashier counter, cake chiller and a costume counter.
"Not bad...for a human" ~ Aliens
Even the ceiling was not spared. It had huge toy space ships from
Star Wars.
"The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't" ~ The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Being surrounded by toys give a unique experience that unleashes ones geeky side. To be honest, we can't help but roam about and appreciate the toy displays.
"The Toys. The Toys Are Alive. N-Nice Dolly. Good Dolly." ~ Toy Story
Some of the toys are huge like the
Aliens collection! I bet they cost a lot.
"What've they got in there, King Kong?" ~ Jurassic Park
The varieties of toys displayed how vast science fiction covers. It can be it various mediums like movies, books, comics and more.
"Gosh, you've... really got some nice toys here." ~ The Blade Runner

| Iron Man Armor Mark III, IV, V and VI |
This looks really cool! =)
" Iron Man. That's kind of catchy. It's got a nice ring to it. I mean
it's not technically accurate. The suit's a gold titanium alloy, but
it's kind of provocative, the imagery anyway." ~ Iron Man
 |
| Neuralyzer, Men in Black Agents Jay and Kay and Frank the Pug |
I'm a huge
Men in Black fan. I really liked how they ended it with the last movie too. Seeing the model of the
Neuralyzer up close made me wish I had one of my own. But, I'm afraid it won't go for the purpose of saving the Earth haha. =p
"Could I have your attention, please?" ~ Men in Black
 |
| Ghost Busters Winston Zeddemore, Dr. Egon Spengler, Dr. Peter Venkman and Dr. Raymond "Ray" Stantz |
Seeing the toy figures of the characters from the movie
Ghost Busters and
Ghost Busters II surely brings back memories. My siblings and I have watched that multiple times. We also watched "
The Real Ghost Busters" and "
Extreme Ghost Busters" as soon as we arrive home from school. My brother used to have a toy size of cartoon version before. We also had the life-size ghost buster proton pack set which includes proton backpack that is attached to the beam emitter with yellow foam acting as rays, PK-E meter, arm band and id. We also have the life-size ghost trap which was glow in the dark and really opens when you step on the trigger. My brother and I used to role play with those light off mode because we also had ghost buster toys which were also glow in the dark.
"
Who do you call... Ghost Busters!"

| Star Wars |
Our family is more of a
Star Wars than a
Star Trek fan. We have occasional
Star War movie marathons. We watched the all the
Star Wars movie in cinemas including the remake. My siblings and I cosplayed with their awesome light-saber toys and cool masks too!
"
May the Force be with you."

| Star Trek |
Star Trek is a huge franchise. I hope to watch it all someday.
"There are always possibilities"
"Live long and prosper!"

| Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter, Jack Sparrow, Edward Scissorhands, Charlie and Sweeney Todd |
Johnny Depp is an actor which I admire the most. He has the talent to immerse himself in every role he plays.
Edward Scissorhands is one of our childhood favorite movies. I used to watch it repetitively with my cousins.
Sweeney Todd is still on top of my list as a musical movie. But I think, the best role that was played by
Johnny Depp was
Jack Sparrow in
Pirates of the Caribbean.
"No survivors? Then where do the stories come from, I wonder?" ~ Pirates of the Caribbean
 |
| The Twilight Saga |
My mom was thrilled with the
The Twilight Saga. It was so realistic that even Jacob was topless.
“What if you sincerely believed something was true,
but you were dead wrong? What if you were so stubbornly sure that you
were right, that you wouldn’t even consider the truth? Would the truth
be silenced, or would it try to break through?” ~ New Moon

| Michael Jackson |
Michael Jackson, the King of Pop lives on forever. No one in history can create songs as meaningful and as melodic and dance as good as
MJ!
"The meaning of life is contained in every single expression of life. It is present in the infinity of forms and phenomena that exist in all of creation."

| Wearable Masks and Light Saber Toys! |
Food
Since we already had dinner during our visit, I initially intended to try their cakes. But apparently the staff was not sure what it was so I decided to go for their beverages.
It can only be attributable to human error ~ A Space Odyssey
Drinks
"Tea, Earl Grey, Hot" ~ Star Trek
Coffee
 |
| Cafe Latte (90 php) |
My brother had his usual
Cafe Latte order in compliance for his less-caffeine at night principle. He loved this!
 |
| Cafe Mocha (100 php) |
My caffeine addict little sister tried the
Cafe Mocha. She was pleased with her choice as well.
Coffee Iced Blends
 |
| Mocha (135 php) |
I had the
Mocha! It was rich and aromatic just the way I like it.
 |
| ♥ White Choco Mocha (135 php) |
I thought the
White Choco Mocha would be too sweet but it turned out to be just right.
Milk Shakes
 |
| ♥ Vanilla Milk Shake (130 php) |
My youngest sister had the
Vanilla Milk Shake. It had a nice frothy and creamy consistency. It's one of the best milk shakes I've tried!
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Sci-Fi Cafe is definitely a must visit for anyone to relive their childhood, fantasize about movies, appreciate toys, play and cosplay or just chill. They have a lot of food options which is ideal for groups too. We'll try to be back for that. The concept is really cool! They regularly change their toy displays and add more cosplay stuffs too.
