For your first visit, Chow Buzz highly recommends a taste of their signature ‘Al Capone’ donut, an amazingly light, soft-bite donut topped with White Belgian White Chocolate and slivers of roasted almonds. Plus, a tall glass of their Iced Avocado Cappucino.
First-timers must try the Cappuccino Avocado, simply rich and addicting. Chow Buzz photo, InterAksyon.com.
J. CO’s future plans include opening branches in SM Mall of Asia, Greenbelt, and Trinoma.
