    I know about M Cafe's reputation as a chill party place, but I never cared for that. M Cafe for me will always be my guilty pleasure breakfast place. I will never understand why everybody would rather flock to the coffee chains rather than to come over here. I mean, it's cool, it's cozy, the food's great (if a bit on the expensive side), and the coffee's solid. Plus, M Cafe has incredible ambiance as it overlooks Greenbelt's garden. I come here either to have a nice, slightly guilty breakfast (A bit pricey, yes), or to work a bit (Nice ambiance + free wi-fi = winner). Weirdly enough, I've only taken someone out here to dinner once, but I can see why this would be a fantastic place to bring a date. Just come early in the evening, as this place turns into a music lounge later in the night, albeit a classy one.

    This is one of the best places to dine in Greenbelt at makati. Make sure to go there when you have ample time as their menu offers many choices. They have Asian fusion and Filipino food, menu has two parts Asian fusion is museum cafe and if you flip the menu it's called "other side" in Tagalog and has all Filipino dishes. I invited some of my local friends and surprisingly they had no idea that this restaurant was one of the coolest joints that gets overlooked as cafe for museum goers. Amazing selection fresh juices and wines. Many restaurants the desert is formality and creativity ends with food, but this place has equally stunning selection of deserts. Miso style cod fish, Filipino traditional beef stew and pumpkin soup and chicken curry were awesome. They also have selections of rice and naan bread as sides. Enjoy this restaurant because it certainly beats other favorites like centro and masa on creativity and presentation.

    Every Sunday, a lot of places in Manila serve brunch at different prices! I went to the one at M Cafè which gets you all you can eat for around 1000 PHP or 1500 PHP with unlimited drinks. The deal gets you a main course plus access to unlimited buffet which serves a variety of dishes from cheeses, desserts, pizzas, pancakes, salads etc. Great price for what you get and a really fresh atmosphere! Also great on Thursday nights as they put music on and it gets filled with people! :)

    A creative presentation of an otherwise simple and very basic Filipino delicacy!

    I'm in town for a few days and staying at a nearby hotel and decided I would take a walk around my old stomping ground, when I ran into this cafe. Let me just say.... wow. This is a very creative presentation of an otherwise simple and very basic Filipino delicacy! Turon (rice paper wrapped dessert) with a flan filling, instead of sweet banana! So here's the "but" part..... the service is a bit slow (though not an uncommon pace in this country). Anyway, the ambience is very nice, and as the name suggests, it is located in the premises of the Ayala Museum, in a prime spot in the trendiest business district of the city.

    I love having meals in M Café especially in the daytime because of the floor to ceiling windows allowing the bright light to come through. The interiors are simple with some Filipino accents here and there and their service is also topnotch. My go-to orders in M Café are their Chicken Inasal and Beef Tadyang. You can never go wrong with these orders. If you are there for breakfast, try their Bacon Slab! It's actually just a side order for around Php 100 or so and you get three slabs of bacon. Yum. For dessert, you can try their Mango + Ube Sticky Rice and for drinks, try their Lychee Mojito.

Cafe-UK is one of those cafes that manages to establish it's own identity able to set itself apart from the generic or those that aspire to be a copycat of Starbucks. They have tea, coffee, juice, and a wide variety of American canned drinks that you won't find in your local grocery. There's a lot of food to choose from. They're a bit pricey, but the size and the taste will more than make up for it. Cafe UK has some of the best cakes I've ever had. Their cakes come in the form of a slice or a mini cake. I love the fact that they offer several kinds of cheesecake with the triple chocolate cheesecake being my favorite, I mean it's cheesecake and chocolate come on! Cafe UK is open 24 hours, and becomes a great places to study at around nine in the evening. Things are quiet at this hour up to around ten in the morning the following day, at which point it becomes a melting pot for the different students from the different schools that populate Mendiola. Wi-fi is free, which is probably another reason why so many students love to congregate at this awesome cafe. The biggest quirk that this cafe has that I don't find anywhere else are the free to use iPads. Never have I walked into a cafe that has free to use iPads, These iPads are ingeniously built into the table, I often find students spending a lot of their time drinking their orders and playing the latest games on Cafe UK's tablet. Free WiFi, excellent food and drinks, wonderful prompt service, and the tablets allows Cafe UK to deliver a great experience. Go for a visit sometime and I promise you that it'll be time and money well spent.

Walked in last weekend during a crazy downpour, dripping wet, and the barista just smiled, handed me a towel to dry off, and asked what I felt like without any rush. Ended up with their single-origin pour-over--Ethiopian this time--and it was bright, juicy, and perfectly balanced, like every sip reminded me why I fell in love with coffee in the first place. Sat by the window watching the rain hammer Pasong Tamo, worked on my laptop for hours with zero pressure to leave. The space is still that perfect mix of raw concrete and warm light, never too crowded, always calm. Staff remembered my usual order even though it's been months since I last dropped by. Five stars, easily--still one of the most consistently great coffee experiences in Manila.

It's good but I would appreciate it more if they served it in a larger cup and charge P150 and not a small cup and charge P140. I had the fig grilled cheese and it was kind of plain, it's not bad, but just nothing exciting for me. I was kinda disappointed since I was so looking forward to trying this coffee shop.

That's because most of them try to be something that they're not, which is of course Starbucks. Few cafes out there establish their own identity. Few cafes in Metro Manila can stand out from the competition without emulating Starbucks. Cafe UK is a part of the few. A local favorite among the people in P. Noval, Cafe UK never fails to draw a crowd each day. A crowd mostly made up of students. The students love it here. Great ambiance, good food and coffee, nice staff and free Wi-Fi are just a few of the reasons why this place has become a regular on many people's place to chill. I'm pretty sure the guy who owns this place knows his target market. I mean, the way this place feels and how it's setup is just so right for students. It's tailor made to appeal to that kind of demographic. The branch here in P. Noval looks a bit tight and cramped. What it lacks in floor area it makes up for with the number of floors. In a way though, I actually liked the cramped space of this cafe. It forces people to be close and conversations are more likely to be intimate and engaging that way. Cafe UK is sweet. It draws students are drawn to it like flies are to honey. A warning though, be sure to bring a jacket. The place can get really cold especially at night.

    Comfiest cafe I've ever been!! Couldn't contain my excitement when I was about to enter the cafe…read more Printed photos greeted me, they even have a tree full of pictures of their customers who were having a good time in the cafe. The place was comfy not because there were couches everywhere but because you've-got-the-entire-floor-to-yourselves-with-comfy-pillows type of comfy. The place is not a typical tables and chairs cafe, what you'll see are sort of cabins with throw pillows that's enough for you and your friends to fit in. The place is also perfect if you have gadgets (wifi availability!), you can easily plug it on the wall socket if you ran out of battery. And every cabin has one. How generous, right? The place is great and cozy, the concept was superb. However, if you're planning for a quiet Me Time in the cafe, you might get distracted with other customers, they tend to get really noisy. The Main Event Travel Caramel Frappe Caramel Macchiato Blueberry Cheesecake I was told that Blueberry cheesecake was their best-seller so I've tried it, although it was great, it didn't stand out from other blueberry cheesecake I've tried. The coffees were just right, too. One thing that I love about this place? It's very Instagram-friendly!! We were billed less than P600 for 2. Inclusive of service charge.

Or was that just me? Getting back on track and away from bouncing balls, the owner of Cafe Noriter opened a new place in the building right beside in, in Archer's Nook Dormitory. Lasallians, this is the building with the Yellow Cab and Army Navy. Take the stairs to the second floor and you'll see a very Korean coffee place, with a very Korean owner greeting you at the door, and very Korean pop music playing on low in the background. The restaurant itself is THE dream for students with extra-long breaks between classes. Like the old Noriter, it features double-deck loft-type nooks filled with the most comfortable marshmallow pillows you can imagine. I've fallen asleep on these pillows and I'm proud of it. Oh wait, I'm not. Remember that very Korean owner by the door? He's also very gorgeous and he carries a camera with him, and he takes a photo of every guest after they've settled in, which he posts on Facebook and on the main wall. Ladies (and men, I don't know) take note and prepare accordingly. The prices are a bit steep, but let's face it, you'll probably only order one slice of cake (if you do, try the blueberry cheesecake -- it's heavenly) and stay there for hours on end. Can't blame you. I've done that countless times.
