Aomori Cafe in Northeast Square, Greenhills

While waiting for the staff in Garden Barn to organise the Philips Umbra shades that we purchased, Mommy and I decided to have something light for lunch - just having survived my birthday buffet dinner the night prior.

We saw a coffee shop at the ground floor of Northeast Square that was selling fine-bone china tea pots and tea cups, and bric a brac from London. They had cute character tea pots that would add colour to any tea party. What really sealed the deal for my mother to stay were their plush velvet seats - she's such a fan of purple velvet. 

We ordered their Gratinated Smoked Fish Pate, Gruyere, and Toasted Breads, reasonably priced at PhP 118.00:

My mom ordered the Beauty Tea which was only PhP 108.00, and was served in this tea pot and cup set, which they also sold in the shelves lining the walls:

And I ordered the Iced Lychee Tea which was only PhP 98.00. It had sinkers also:

The coffee shop also had sundry items for sale, such as clocks from London, which were priced at around PhP 4,000.00 to PhP 5,000.00, as well as salad dressings from Thailand. When we were there last November 28, some of the dressing was on sale at 40% off. 

Do visit them if you plan on going to Garden Barn. There's ample basement parking space in Northeast Square, but if I were you, I'd really make a beeline for multiple establishments there already - like hit Power Mac for repairs, then go shopping for Umbra items or Brabantia bins in Garden Barn, then have your hair or nails done in the salons, before deciding to relax in the coffee shop.

After Greenhills, Mommy and I decided to fetch Daddy and drag him to the original Philippine Pottery Barn - DAPITAN!

Here's a shot of a stall that we visited in Dapitan:

There, we went loco and purchased a tall clear vase and Mason Jars with handles!
