at it again

finally, a new coffee shop in town has captured a quite similar taste (or a lil better) of Starbucks' mocha frappuccino. it's Mr. Coffee. i tried its frappe mocha yesterday, and i kind of liked it. a tall order for P95 (Starbucks gives you the same size for P120) is worth it. i think it's the ice cream that gives it that creamy taste. instead of using whip cream as a finishing touch like what Starbucks does to mostly all its frappuccinos, Mr. Coffee whips up its own version of this mocha drink with more ice cream. i saw how they blended my drink, and it's got more ice cream than the coffee-flavored concoction. the only downer in this imitation though is the weak straw and the cheap cup. but they are just starting out and maybe soon they could imitate Starbucks' better-looking cup plus the logo, too. hahaha!

anyway, Mr. Coffee is located at Paseo place, that's somewhere in Mabolo, a few meters from Kartzone.

their frappe kona mocha is also good. i can't explain the taste but it's more caffeinated than the frappe mocha (that’s actually explains the “kona” word according to the barista), and that's what makes it...yummier? aah..go and try it yourself. :)

and here's a good news for all coffee drinkers out there: according to a report, Coffee users at lower risk for Parkinson's disease. well, at least noh!
