Calea's Chocolate Cake with Chocolate filling is the best chocolate cake I've ever tasted. I ordered a whole cake from the East Block branch and brought it back to Manila for my officemates for New Year's Day! It kept very well and got even more fudgy the longer it was kept in the fridge. They discontinued this cake sometime between August 2007 (the last time I went to Bacolod) and December 2007 (when I went back) but when I asked for it, they readily accepted my order. Great service... just make sure to order your cakes in advance during the holidays because they only bake those that were pre-ordered. If you walk in to buy a cake on the 24th or 31st of December without an advance order, they will turn you away (sigh)!

Calea's chocolate cake is the best in Bacolod, if not in all of the Philippines. Manilans would ask their friends from the city of smiles to bring them a box of Calea's cake to feast upon.
Calea seems to be elusive because the coffee shop is hidden behind a restaurant along Lacson Street. One may note that many of the cafe's patrons come mostly from the middle and higher classes, especially since it is located near a posh hotel. But Calea's mystique is what draws people to this haven for sweet lovers.
Apart from cakes, Calea also serves delicious pasta. Families and businessmen come here to enjoy the food and cozy ambiance or waste away time chatting over cups of coffee.
