A blogger friend of mine, Fatin has blogged about this cafe not long ago. I was so tempted to try after reading her blog on Cafe Barbera. Copied this from her blog - "Cafe Barbera is a franchise of an Italian based food and beverage company, Barbera Caffe co. It has its origins in Messina Italy, since 1870." It has a history of over 139 years of the finest preparations of gourmet coffees in Italy.
So tempted to try after reading her blog. So I plan a coffee gathering session for my beloved colleagues. Since am not much of a coffee person, but i know they are. I cant drink too strong coffee, if I did, will experience something worst than a "hang-over", nausea, heart beating in fast pace, sweating, light-headiness.
Anyway, I find Cafe Barbera, has its own building, looks more like a Italian mansion. It's pretty cool, we don't need to fly to Italy to drink coffee, now we can do it here in Bangsar. :) You definitely feel you were in Italy, as they put on Italian classical music. Interior was quite simple and nice.
We ordered several diff types of coffee and dishes:
Cappuccino Frappe - thickness and richness of the cream.
The waiter recommended us this dessert - Chocolate Fondant, takes about 15 mins to served. Top with ice cream, and inner part of the fondant is warm choc cream, when you take a slice of it, the choc cream is oozing out, hmm...yummilicious!!
Venezia coffee, real coffee beans sprinkled on top! This is quite strong, coz it has espresso in it.
Ooo...I heart pizza with beef pepperoni!! Only at RM19.50! Better than Domino's, and they're almost on the same price range.
Coffee Affogato, yummy to drink w ice cream in it, taste sweet, but after finish the ice cream left the coffee, the bitterness is back.
Grilled chicken and friend's pizza! Top with olives, cheese, etc cant remember. It's good, but i still prefer beef pepperoni pizza.Food: Above average
Price: average, reasonable
Service: Excellent
Parking: can be a problem, as outside the cafe is the main street which has yellow lines can't be parked. We park inside the cafe, but limited space.
