A few years ago, whenever I would pass by the cinema area of SM Megamall, I would always see the Aperitif kiosk there. I noticed it because even before I saw it physically for the first time, I would get ads about Aperitif on social media. After passing by the Megamall kiosk a few times, I finally decided to try one of their cookies and I absolutely loved it! So when I discovered that Aperitif now had its own permanent location still on the 3rd floor of SM Megamall where patrons can have a seat and enjoy their food with coffee, I decided to visit. And after my first trip here, I ended up enjoying their sweet treats several more times.

Before I talk about the food I've tried here, let me first talk about how much I absolutely love their design. The far end of the cafe feels like a very luxurious yet cozy and charming alcove. I am not an expert of different art styles so I don't know if what they have is renaissance, neo-classical, baroque, rococo, or something else. Whatever it is, I love it!
Even the ceiling in the main area is quite stunning.
And the Venus de Milo at the entrance, with the mosaic tiled section of the floor, really adds a wonderful touch.
Now let's get to the food! On my first visit, I had to try their Ooey Gooey Cookie again. It really is good, although its price has increased since I first tried it. (I also have to say, I love how they serve your order on an elegant tray that they leave with you. I always enjoy my order while everything is still neatly placed on the tray.)

I love donuts and Aperitif as a really fancy selection. The first one I got to try was the Nuts for Nutella. This donut has Nutella filling, Milk Chocolate, Chocolate Chantilly Cream, and a Hazelnut Top. This was dangerously good!

The Very Berry donut, with its Strawberry Cream, Pink White Chocolate Glaze, Chantilly Cream, and White Chocolate Shard is also very delicious.

They also have gelato and I tried one of their gelato flavors in one of my visits here. I can't recall which one I got though (it might have been tiramisu).

There are a lot more items on their menu which I want to try. I also saw photos of their ther branches in Metro Manila and they all look really classy and stylish. (I want to visit their BCG branch!) If you want to enjoy delicious baked goods and sweet treats in a lovely setting, Aperitif is the place for me. I am certain that I will be visiting this place (or maybe its other branches) many more times in the future.
