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.

Great service, special mention to Jane. Banh mi bread was superb, though the beef filling was too sweet for my taste. Pho was excellent, but I would have liked some fish/beef balls mixed in. Loved the Vietnamese coffee. Very authentic. The spring roll was underwhelming. Lacked taste, even with the sauce.

Good food, nice decorations, drinks were okay, overall a really nice experience. Their register broke so it was cash only on that day which was a little hassle. Their Pho was good, but wish it had hoisin sauce (for the condiments). Drinks were also really good, except maybe the Matcha smoothie (this tasted powdered). Their blueberry cake was not to sweet either.

Would return here again.
