Kape Republik

First visit was today. We wanted something sweet but wasn't sure what we wanted. So we popped inside Kape! The crinkle cookies are SOOOOOO good. Glad we went in to give it a try. Anytime I'm looking for a little something sweet I'll come by. Service is amazing! Everyone was super friendly and service was fast. 10/10 would recommend!!!

I picked up a handful of baked goods, but the one I was most disappointed with was the ube with flan on top--the flan tasted like it had been sitting out for too long. We also tried their version of a "cheese roll," which was decent, but Porto's definitely does it better.Overall, I was pretty disappointed, but I have to admit the pastries are nice to look at.

order: taro cold brew ordered my drink to be a little extra sweet and it was perfect and soooo yummy. there is a good balance of taro cold brew!! the place had so many yummy looking pastries like taro brownies and pandan desserts. only regret is getting a small and not a large bc it's sooo yummyyyyummy rating: 8.5/10

Love the halo-halo, plus the brownies and crinkle cookies in the ube and pandan flavors!

Always delicious and fresh. Very high quality pastries. Staff is kind and helpful as well. Store is a bit small but there are places to sit outside in the shared common areas.

I strolled in on a Sunday, ready to indulge in all the sweet treats I'd heard so much about from this bakery, but let's just say my mouth was left a little less than satisfied. I was super eager to try the much-raved-about Halo Halo, but decided to explore other temptations instead. I picked up a Buko (coconut) Pandan Crinkle, a Banana Turon, an ube brownie, and another ube delight--because who can resist ube? But hold up--cue the dramatic music! A fly was buzzing around one of the ube cupcakes in the case, and I quickly made my exit from that option. I figured I'd play it safe with a chicken pesto bomb. While it packed a nice flavor punch, it was dry and, honestly, about the size of a pinhead! I really wanted to love this place because it's a new gem in town, but sadly, the pastries had the vibe of being a day old. I hate to rain on their parade, but I'm hoping for a miraculous comeback next time!

I have had my eye on Kape Republic for some time now and I was pretty excited to see them on the map when we were in the area. My sweet boyfriend drove me over and let me indulge to my heart's content. We had the Halo Halo Shake ($6.25), Baked Turon ($2.75) and Ube Crinkle ($2.50). I would have ordered more but the other items I wanted would need to be refrigerated or consumed immediately. I thought the prices were reasonable, but I'm annoyed by this HIDDEN 3% credit card surcharge. They didn't mention anything about it. I had more than enough cash on hand that I would have used it had I known there was a credit card surcharge. How annoying. We ate the halo halo immediately. The scoop of ube ice cream was smaller than other halo halos, and sadly that is one of my favorite ingredients. It was strangely not that cold like it was melting on the spot. The rice crispies were already soggy, so the texture was lacking. The jellys and fruits were average but something felt like it was missing. It tasted more milky than anything. I prefer the halo halo from Cafe 86, Goldilocks or even the franchised JollyBee more than this halo halo. We saved the baked goods for the evening. The turon was surprisingly bland and there was not that much filling of plantain and jackfruit. The ube crinkle was probably my favorite item we got, but not enough to drive back to this area for no other purpose. A part of me wonders if their original location is better.

Such a cute shop with incredible looking desserts! After a while, finally decided on the Uber Tres Leches cake and it was by far one of the best desserts I've had in such a long time! The cake was soooo moist and wasn't overly sweet. Will be back soon to try more and more !

Both the taro cold brew and taro boba shake were delicious! Taro cold brew has a good balance of sweetness and bitterness from the coffee. Taro shake was rich and creamy.

On our most recent visit, we were greeted by the owner which I didn't realize until my keen husband pointed it out. But this visit warmed my heart and it does look like changes did happen from our last visit. The crinkles were more fresh, the service was spectacular and we even saw some new items that we didn't see previously. We got a 4" ube cake for my brother's bday, a vanilla iced coffee (delicious! btw) a strawberry crinkle, 2 cupcakes (calamari and pandan) and a complimentary ube brownie! What a great way to start the week ;) The Ube cake itself was delicious and moist. You can really taste the Ube flavor, however the icing was a bit too sweet for my liking. The calamansi and pandan cupcakes were a bit dry and the strawberry crinkle was better than before. The Ube brownie was a little thin, then I'm used to - but it was satisfying!
