After our lunch at Piña Kitchen and Coffee, we headed straight to Lala Garden Cafe Pampanga, one of the most talked-about cafés in the area. I’ve seen it pop up so many times on my feed, but this was actually our first time visiting, and honestly, I didn’t expect the place to be this big and charming.
Lala Garden Cafe is known as one of the largest café chains in Pampanga, and the moment you step inside, you’ll understand why people keep coming back. The café has a lush, garden-inspired ambiance with plenty of greenery, warm lighting, and cozy corners that instantly make you want to slow down, sip your coffee, and stay a little longer. It feels like a mix of a greenhouse and a modern café — calming, airy, and very easy on the eyes.
What surprised me the most was discovering that Lala Garden Cafe Pampanga isn’t just about coffee and pastries. They also serve meals like pasta, pizza, salads, and other café comfort food, making it a great stop whether you’re just craving dessert or looking for a more filling bite.
Of course, the place is very Instagrammable. Enjoy na enjoy talaga my sister who calls herself Anney — picture doon, picture dito, as in walang patid! 😄 Every corner felt photo-worthy, from the garden-themed interiors to the open seating areas and even the stairs. If you love aesthetic cafés, this place will definitely make your camera work overtime.
Since we were a big group, we had different seating preferences. Some chose to sit by the stairs area for that café aesthetic, while we opted for a regular table where everyone could comfortably settle in. I love that the space can accommodate groups, families with kids, and even people who want to work or have quiet conversations.
Coffee and Sweets
When it came to drinks, we ordered a variety so everyone could try something different. On the table were Iced Americano, Matcha Latte, and Caramel Frappe, among others. The drinks were refreshing and well-balanced — perfect for cooling down after a hearty lunch.
To go with our drinks, we ordered several pastries, and this was honestly one of my favorite parts. Lala Garden Cafe Pampanga is known for its Korean-inspired pastries, and we tried a good mix:
• Korean Garlic Bun
• Sausage Flat Bread
• Fruit Croissant
• Pain Au Chocolat
• Choco Pie
Everything looked good, and the kids were especially happy with the sweeter pastries. It’s the kind of spread that makes you want to take photos first before digging in.
Before heading home, sis and I couldn’t resist taking crazy photos with the kids at the photo booth. It was such a fun way to end the visit and a reminder that cafés like this aren’t just about food — they’re about the experience, the bonding, and the little memories you take with you.
Overall, Lala Garden Cafe Pampanga is more than just a café. It’s a great place for family catch-ups, coffee dates, barkada bonding, or even a quick work session surrounded by greenery. If you’re café-hopping in Pampanga or simply looking for a relaxing, Instagrammable spot with good drinks and pastries, this one definitely deserves a visit.
Mommy Peach’s Note: If you’re coming with kids or a big group, give yourself time to explore the space, take photos, and just enjoy the vibe. This is one café where staying a little longer actually feels good
Lala Garden Cafe is located at Poinsettia Avenue, Angeles, Pampanga
