Probably will return.

Love flan and I finally made it to this cafe -:) All the times before was either they closed, or too late or forgotten.

It’s a full cafe, with a spacious room to the right.

Flans are in aluminum ramekins – I was hoping for a small cake, round or square or rectangle. The girl was nice, offered a box … without a bag. Oh well.

I tried four flavors:

  1. original
  2. coffee
  3. coconut
  4. salted carmel

They’re all solid, thick, deadly serious. All the flans I had and loved were light, airy and lively. The coconut flavor among the four is my fave.

Lunch at Rosenheim was better.

Will return.

This Mediterranean / Middle Eastern restaurant in Ybor City is authentic, clean and simple decor with fake greens and candles. Two sections in doors and one outdoor area.

Good service and food.

We’ve

  1. Fried kibbeh
  2. Baba ghanoush
  3. Grilled halloumi
  4. Spinach pizza

They’re all good, I liked the meat balls (kibbeh) and halloumi very much.

Four Arabic speaking aunts came, owner received them warmly. One of the aunt has a cute dog, who asked me if I was ok with it – it’s very ok -:)

The parking lot is across the street. Their bathroom has a spigot. I’ve never been to the Mideast but this is very common in Asia. When I redid my bathroom, I asked the contractor to install a drain and spigot. He didn’t, saying the drain would smell.

As we were driving away, I saw the go to wine bar Beaune’s Wine Bar @ Chateau Cellars is on the other end of the same block.

… I finally get to Flan Factory.
