Sundays Cafe and Restaurant Maginhawa Branch

Sunday dinner... the place is packed by 7pm. The line is 20+ people deep waiting to get a table. No receptionist assigned at the front door. They do have a dining staff who will show up every now and then to check the line and take table reservation. Overwise you would be standing outside clueless. After giving our order, the average wait time for the food to come out from the kitchen is 30-45 mins. Thats why there are lots of people waiting outside and lots of empty table inside. Turnover is very long for a table. Most likey understaffed. So if you see a long line outside and there are no parking, remind yourself there are other places in the area where you can get a good meal and not spend an hour waiting. Was skeptical about the "The Works" pizza but it turned out to be really good. Measuring 5.5 inches a slice, a bit close to a thin crust. Its crisp with a nice char at the bottom. Just the right balance of cheese and toppings. The rice meal however is very salty. Price points is good. Service is ok and the the staff is really giving their best effort. Honestly this is a good place to visit... IF you drop by during off-peak and have tons of time on your hands. Given how big this restaurant is... the parking on the otherhand is rather limited. The parking assist guy is great. Tip him well.

We had lunch here on a Saturday and surprisingly it’s not too crowded. The food was great! The seats were comfy too and the service is also good. I’d definitely come back here. There’s also a lot to choose from their menu. Not really a problem and a deal breaker but the place has limited parking space. The place is also pet-friendly! Overall, this place is perfect for family gatherings or brunch with your friends.

My mom and I had our “sundate” here and we didn’t regret it. The place might seem fancy but it was also cozy. I like how clean the place and they have their own parking lot. The food was good. There were a lot of options too. I had the garlic and shrimp pizza as well as the cereal fried chicken and waffles. As a person who loves gravy, I asked if they have some and they were kind enough to offer us their mushroom gravy. It was so good that I had to order garlic rice. I also had their caramel macchiato and it didn’t disappoint. Kudos also to the staff as they were very kind and courteous. When the crowd got a bit bigger, they were still able to promptly address the customers’ concerns.

I love how they open early, catering to early breakfast-ers. Ample parking space, and friendly staff. Love the ambiance. Coffee is okay, lots of food options and value for money.

Better than Nono’s. Great food. Great prices. Great atmosphere. Downside? Getting a table with no reservations. Get the chicken n waffles and tres leches cake. Will be back to try other stuff.
