The Mocha I Love | City Diary

Coffee has always been my bestfriend for sleepy days or at times when I need a boost throughout the day. Early this year, I came to like iced mocha over any other coffee variants. Since then, I started trying out iced mocha from different well known coffee shops here in manila; And one iced mocha stood among the rest. It has a bitter chocolate taste from the cocoa powder which perfectly blends with the robust flavor of its coffee beans. What I loved about this iced mocha is that it is not sweet and I am getting more of the cocoa powder and the coffee beans. Toby's Estate Iced Mocha is by far the game changer on its league.

Toby's Estate started at Sydney and was founded by Toby Smith. Their site here tells you more about the story of their humble beginnings.The Toby's Estate I went to is the one near at my office which is the Ortigas Branch along Ruby Rd. Entering the coffee shop, I went straight to the counter manned with their very welcoming baristas.

While waiting for my drink I decided to snap some more photos. The coffee shop is very spacious and has this long wooden table perfect for big groups like us. On top of that long table is a shiny and reflective round light installments perfect to showcase the whole coffee shop in a different kind of depth and perspective.

My friend ordered flat white which is basically just like a coffee latte but is smaller in quantity thus has more coffee than milk. The milk is steamed to small, fine bubbles with a glossy or velvety consistency. As per my friend, she also loved their flat white thus adding this to my list of must-trys.

The first time I went to Toby's Estate, I only bought their very famous chocolatey moist generous chunk of brownies. Can't wait to go back and order my favorite iced mocha to pair with their famous Bucky's brownies. I will definitely try their other variants of brownies and will let you know the good stuff in each. I invite you all to go to the nearest Toby's Estate coffee shop and try their perfectly blended coffees and brownies.
