Taste
We ordered their Crepe Salad (mix of ripe mangoes, grapes and salad veggies wrapped in crepe, with cheese sauce on top), Spicy Tuna Sardini (tuna and Spanish sardines in olive oil mixed with spaghetti), and Beef Casserole (beef and mushrooms baked with mashed potatoes on top). For drinks, we had Violet Curacao and Cucumber Soda.
The crepe salad was an interesting appetizer. It was light and it cleansed the palate well. I also enjoyed my sardini. Its spiciness was just right and the dish wasn't as greasy as the ones I've tried before. I only got a few bites of the beef casserole but it was also good.

The cucumber soda was not my idea. I ordered another drink but our server suggested the cucumber soda to me, saying that it was their bestselling drink. I was skeptical since I wasn't into vegetable juices, but the server was very confident so I got curious and gave in to her suggestion. The soda was a pleasant surprise! It was very refreshing and not too sweet. It had a clean taste that complemented the food well. No weird taste or aftertaste too!

Interiors
The Lazy Bean was a small cafe with simple interiors. The use of a glass wall was a good idea since it prevented the space from looking stuffy. I liked the light brown color of their wooden furniture; it added to the warmth and coziness of the place. Moving around was a little hard though. We were seated at a table for four. I'm petite but even I found our area a bit cramped. It wasn't bad since there were only a few people during our visit, but it might become a challenge with more diners around.

It was quiet inside the resto even if a TV was on - a far cry from other dining places. If you're into studying/working while dining or having coffee, staying here would be a better option than in other more popular cafes. After dinner, we were planning to drop by the nearby Starbucks but since it was comfy and quiet in The Lazy Bean, we opted to order our cake and coffee here instead.
Cleanliness
The place was clean.
Service
Service was good. Our server was attentive and friendly.
