Among the products that they offer, we tried two varieties of their cakes. Let's take a look at the reviews of our conscientious critics.
1. Presentation and Appearance of the Cake
Cake 1: Rainbow Cake
If there is a cake in which every slice is a colorful journey of deliciousness, then that would definitely be the Rainbow Cake. With layers of bright rainbow-colored chiffon cake with homemade vanilla frosting and filling and finished off with colored candy sprinkles, Tamp Cafe & Co.'s Rainbow Cake has a great flavor and good texture. Their signature rainbow cake stacks brightly colored rainbow layers: red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. There's something about seeing the rainbow hues that uplift our mood. When it comes to taste, this colorful rainbow cake looks too sweet, but looks can be deceiving. It is not too sweet, just the right amount of sweetness. And the homemade vanilla filling adds a soft, creamy texture that complements the dense rainbow cake layers.
Indeed, this bright and show-stopping rainbow layer cake with sprinkles fulfills every child's and child at heart’s dream, be it in terms of presentation or taste. We can't find the right words to describe how much we adore this colorful stack of pure joy. This vibrant rainbow cake has brightened our day, and we hope it has the same effect on you.
Cake 2: Yema Cake
This particular Yema Cake from Tamp Café and Co holds an amazing and well-thought balance of creaminess from the yema filling and the chiffon cake. I personally believe that this combination adds another dimension of flavor to the yema cake. It's not too sweet, and the chiffon cake is very smooth and soft, making the cake taste so heavenly. The yema custard layers in the middle has its own distinct flavor as well.
Additionally, the serving size of the cake is reasonable for its price. Indeed, it is worth every peso spent! So, if you are a fan of yema cakes with a fluffy texture, go for this classic yema Cake by Tamp Café and Co. Additional note, make sure to taste this masterpiece along with tea, coffee, or the classic hot chocolate drink.
2. Staff / Employees
A friendly and accommodating crew at your service.
Good service by the employees does not only signify welcoming the customers with a joyous look or a simple “thank you” and “please”, it's certainly far beyond that. Talking about Tamp’s service crew, they were absolutely great and fast. We just cannot get over how helpful the staff members were and how amazing and dedicated they were in serving the customers and the company they work for. Indeed, Tamp’s staff created great working environments, thus increasing their overall productivity.
