Food Review: SUGAR CRAVINGS, A New Treat Along Banaue St., Quezon City

Located along Banaue St. in Quezon City is a newly opened dessert buffet place.  Opened just last September in their new location, this dessert place is worth your time and money.  Welcome to Sugar Cravings.

Located between China Bank and Indy Aircon Parts Inc., you definitely will not miss this place if you are familiar with the whole stretch of Banaue.  Decked in pink and accented in bright red and evergreen shades of sofa, this is one cozy dessert buffet area.  This is a two-level dining area that is capable of accommodating up to 50+ walk-in guest at a time.

From chocolates to fruit based treats, from pasta meals to known dishes for removing over satiated taste, they have something for your taste.

Should you wish to enjoy the dessert buffet offering, which would include round cakes slices, mini-cakes slices, cheesecakes, halo-halo, ice cream, crepes, nachos, dynamites, rice porridge (regular and in chocolate), chilled treats, and various drinks (iced tea, orange juice and coffee), all for Php199.00.  All this you can enjoy and consume in the span of your 2 hours stay in the place.  Not bad for all the treats.

Let us now start discussing their buffet treat offerings.

Chocolate Treats:

They have chocolate balls ala truffle, chocolate cake slices (round), oreo cake mini slices, mocha cake mini slices and chocolate cupcakes.

Non-chocolate Treats:

They offer various fruit based cake slices (in round and in mini's), yema cake slices (round), brazo de mercedes, crema de fruta, mango torte cake (round), red velvet cake (round), baked cheesecake cups, panna cottas, marshmallows, crepes, frozen cakes, halo-halo and ice creams.

 Alis-umay Offerings:

Dynamites (pepper cheese sticks),  nachos, jicama slices (singkamas) and other fruit slices, rice porridge with chicken slivers and rice porridge with chocolate.

Drinks Considered part of the buffet:

Green apple iced tea, fruit juice and coffee.

With the span of 2-hours, you can try all the offerings served; it all boils down on pacing.  My advise, for every plate of sweets have a piece or a small serving of their anti-umay to keep the sweet level at bay and prep you for another round of eating.  You also must try their coffee.  It is good coffee!

The following are my top picks:

     - Mocha Cake/Bar - it is not  your typical mocha flavor but it has a coffee flavor edge to it.  It's light and not that sweet (for me).  It is the coffee flavor that got my attention.

     - Crema de Fruta / Graham Cracker Frozen Treat - both are of the right sweetness and has the right moist level.

     - Brewed Coffee - it is really good!  It has that body and rich aroma that would keep you spellbound.  For a dessert buffet place, discovering their coffee is truly a wonder!
