Cupcakes By Sonja - Riyadh

It was another lazy afternoon and I thought of eating something sweet. So I went out, stroll a little then I saw this shop once again and it has been a while since I've had their famous cupcakes and their complementary drinks. As I entered, the staffs are all smiling at me and I really felt very welcome (maybe because I was the only dine-in customer that time). The space inside is still quite small for me but they are tables and chairs outside to accomodate more customers. From their menu, I chose to try their cakes this time and it satisfied me being a sweet tooth person. I chose the rainbow cake slice with the cafe latte. The cake is moist, delicate and of course colorful. I really can say that cake and coffee blends with each other.

Yes yes yes! I love this place and their cupcakes. The red velvet rocks and the banana monkey cupcake is excellent! I also love the flourless chocolate cake. The cupcakes here are not as sweet and not as rich as M bakery.

How I missed Cupcakes by Sonja! I think it's been a year since I ever had a cupcake/cake from them. Glad that Ms. Gel agreed on this to be our breakfast! She ordered a reversed salted caramel cake slice cappuccino, while I ordered a rainbow cake slice hot chocolate. Both of the cakes are freshly baked plus chilled and scrumptious! I liked my hot pairing very muchhh. Ms. Gel even took out a red velvet cupcake since she missed it so much too. They also have pride cupcakes still available for this month!

A friend and I suddenly found ourselves with some time on our hands while in Serendra yesterday morning, so we decided to break our fast at Cupcakes by Sonja. This store was Manila’s first ever cupcake store, opened by Sonja Ocampo to bring the cupcake experiences she had in New York to our shores.

Lively place to indulge your sweet tooth! Peppermint Fudge Cupcake was good, very minty topping. Supreme Chocolate Salted Caramel Cake is excellent. Rich, moist chocolate cake with lovely salted caramel. Gives a wonderful sweet and salty taste
