Dulce Vida Resto+bakery - Davao City

We had dinner at this restaurant and decided to order their carrot cake for takeout. I forgot to take a picture of it, but the cake was surprisingly good. I was hesitant to try it at first because of the carrots, but it was delicious. Just a heads up, they only sell it as a whole cake, not by the slice.

The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and the service is top-notch. The fish and pasta dishes were fantastic, and the salad was the best I've had in Davao. Although the prices are a bit high, the quality of the food makes it worth it. I definitely plan on returning in the future. I actually went back today and the food was still excellent. The restaurant was packed during lunch on Wednesday.

Never leave Davao City without eating something from this place. It has a wide selection of entrées and desserts you can mix and match for a hearty and filling meal. The pesto with chicken was pretty solid and came with a huge slice of focaccia bread. The ube frozen brazo was just OK. The frozen ube layer was kinda bland and crumbly. I regretted ordering it and wished I chose mango brazo instead. Coffee americano was OK too. This place is the only restaurant I know that serves lemon water as service water. Service was fast and the staff (including the security guard) was so extra.

The atmosphere at Tiny Kitchen has changed since my last visit, but it still maintains a good and relaxed vibe. The food is delicious, particularly the Paella which was rich and paired well with chicken or seafood. The cakes, especially the Sans Rival, were also exceptional. The service was friendly and attentive. Overall, it's a great spot for celebrating birthdays or dining with family and friends. Be sure to also check out Dulce Vida for their cakes.

If you are needing food fast, this place is good emergency food. The staff is friendly. If you are not from the local area, I recommend purchasing the bottled water. The water glass they give you is tap water. The time to make the food from order to table is decent. The portions is moderate except the salad is a good amount.
