Pao Cafe

Discovered this by wandering the streets of Makati searching for a good coffee shop where I can stay for few hours while waiting for someone. The ambiance was really welcoming and industrial looking. It was beautifully designed. Next the coffee was good and the service was fast even though there’s a lot of people coming into this cafe. The pastry that I tried was so-so, not so special but somehow okay to be paired with the coffee I ordered. Overall, the experience was something to keep and will definitely visit again.

I've been hooked on pho lately.Chain stores are fine,but I wanted to go to a Vietnamese cafe. I ordered a coffee and pho from the menu written in Vietnamese. Inside the relaxed and nicely decorated store, there were people typing on their computers, people chatting, and people stopping by for takeout. The pho was, of course, good! I was also interested in the variety of cheesecakes in the display case, but I chose a cake that looked lighter. Next time, I'd like to order a takeout sandwich called “banh mi”

food is good, their bahn mi definitely. pho was okay. servers were nice but service was very slow one time i went (30 minutes to serve coffee but it's not ALWAYS like this). drinks are really good! both vietnamese coffee and milk tea (though i would recommend requesting the milk tea to be less sweetened). i also like their chocolate tart. they have ktv upstairs too. wifi works well and they have plugs but you it gets packed as well even late night. pretty good overall!

Unmatched northern style Pho that I’ve looking for the whole time here in Manila. It is sure a different style from all the Southern style Pho around. The salted cream cafe also solid. Love the robusta kicks. Nice ambience, perfect for breakfast

Food is good and the ambience has a relaxing vibe. The 2nd floor has an aesthetic design which is amazing for a KTV. Overall a great experience with friends to catch-up with.
