How To Enjoy Gelatos in Different Ways at Caffe Ti Amo

Caffe Ti Amo

Caffe Ti Amo is the newest gelateria (gelato + cafeteria) that arrived here in the Philippines. The brand came from Korea and is partly owned by Jollibee Foods Corp. We were recently invited to grace its opening a few weeks ago. Their very first store is at the ground floor of SM Annex and will soon be opening at the Fort.

Caffe Ti Amo Gelatos

Caffe Ti Amo does not only serve gelatos in cups but they have different ways to serve it. Let me show you how you can enjoy Caffe Ti Amo gelatos below.

Gelatos in Cups at Caffe Ti Amo

Affogatto at Caffe Ti Amo

Affogatto @ Php 159

Affogatto is a popular Italian dessert wherein gelato drowned in espresso. This dessert also has vanilla, tiramisu and almonds for extra flavor and texture. This is one of my favorite desserts in Caffe Ti Amo. The combination of the hot espresso and cold gelato gives a tingling sensation in your palate. :)

Honey Bread at Caffe Ti Amo

Honey Bread @ Php 199

Never thought that this could be possible but Caffe Ti Amo serves honey bread topped with gelatos. You can choose any flavor of gelato you’d like in your honey bread but it’s suggested that you have yogurt and vanilla. Another plus factor for this dessert are the sprinkled cinnamon and blueberries.

Waffle at Caffe Ti Amo

Gelato Waffle at Php 360 (with 2 scoops of gelatos), 1 scoop gelato and 1/2 waffle @ Php 185

Waffles topped with gelatos. There are 3 types of gelato waffles that you can have in Caffe Ti Amo: Chocolate, Green Tea and the regular one. This was one of the desserts that I personally enjoyed. Aside from the gelatos, the waffle is topped with fresh fruits, whipped cream and chocolate or caramel syrup.

Yogurt Mischiatto at Caffe Ti Amo

Yogurt Mischiato @ Php 239

Another way is to have is a-la Mischiatto. The word Mischiato itself means “mixed with ice” so it’s like our Filipino Halo-Halo. In Caffe Ti Amo, there are 3 varieties of mischiato to choose from: Yogurt, Green Tea and Coffee. Their yogurt mischiato is composed of yogurt gelato, fresh fruits and corn flakes drizzled with chocolate syrup.

The coffee mischiato on the other hand has coffee gelato, bananas, corn flakes and chocolate cereals drizzled with chocolate syrup.

Green Tea Mischiatto at Caffe Ti Amo

Green Tea Mischiato @ Php 229

Among all the mischiatos, I loved the Green Tea. It has green tea gelato, corn flakes, bananas and chocolate cereals drizzled with caramel syrup.

Happy Spoon at Caffe Ti Amo
It’s nice to eat mischiatos using this happy spoon! :)

Aside from gelatos, Caffe Ti Amo also serves coffee and tea.  The interesting thing about their teas is that they’re not inside the tea bags when they serve it to customers. They have a tea brewing machine (photo below) wherein fresh tea leaves are soaked in hot water on a pitcher-like thing then when it’s ready, just rest it on top of the cup and voila, your tea is ready! This is really amazing and good news, they sell it in their stores for Php 3,000. How I wish it was cheaper, I could have bought one for myself. :)

So far, Caffe Ti Amo has the best tasting gelatos I’ve ever tasted because they’re not very creamy compared to the others I’ve tasted. Another factor that made me like this is because of the different way to enjoy gelatos. It may seem that their other gelato desserts are expensive but they are actually meant for sharing (unless you really want to eat the whole thing).

I have only tried Gelatissimo. Reading your post makes me want to try Caffe Ti Amo right this very moment. Hihi! ^_^

Btw, I super love your blog! :)

#5 Sharlyne Ang on 05.25.10 at 9:42 pm

not sure yet eh. Matagal pa siguro. We’ll definitely let our readers know when their Fort branch opens. :)

@jerellt,
Try it! Promise, it’s really good. Thanks for appreciating our blog :)

Which one’s better, Gelatissimo or this one? I haven’t tried both… Hmmm…

But anyway, do you like yogurts too? I heard Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has frozen yogurt too, and I find their off-menu flavor, Hazelnut, the yummiest of them all! But they’re still trying it out so you gotta say AWESOME the Barista to order.

I’ve tried it out in Four Seasons Salcedo (cos basically, I’m so near there) but I think it’s also available in 3 other stores. Check it out here: http://www.facebook.com/coffeebeanphilippines.

Will definitely try out Caffe Ti Amo. Nice pictures!

I would say that Caffe Ti Amo is better than Gelatissimo. I love Frozen Yogurts!

hi sharlyne,
i was glad i had dessert at your cafe instead of krispy cream. i had 4 gelato and i like most is the orange flavor because of it’s sour taste and wild color. the best part of it is that, i fell in love with your ice cream spoon. by scrutinizing “the” spoon i can tell it’s durability and quality. it’s elegance that make it classy. i hope in the coming months or yet before the holiday seasons (x’mas) is here, maybe you can start selling the spoon so that we your customers who admire it, can buy and give this away as a gift to our friends and relatives or better yet for personal use like myself. by the way the other 3 gelato i had was coffee, mango,milk cheese all in one sitting. i’ll be back the next time i’m around the area. more power! and always keep it tidy and clean.

Hi Yolanda,

Wow glad you liked Caffe Ti Amo as much as I enjoyed it. FYI, I don’t actually own the cafe. I just blogged about it because it’s worth trying. :)
