Ucc Mentore Coffee - Makati

I love the coffee, the place is cozy and the staff are friendly

The mango crepe and waffle with mixed berries are to die for! It was so delicious and freshly made that I wanted to cry with every bite. Coffee drinks (photo not taken) are always good as well. And the ambiance is just very relaxing. It's definitely great for brunch or an afternoon merienda.

I had the smoked salmon Benedict and it came out delicious. The complimentary coffee that came with it was nice. Coming back if I’m in the area again.

(Feb. 24, 2023) Had a marinated bangus breakfast meal (fancy way of saying bangsilog). As is common, you have a choice of scrambled egg or sunny side up. It comes with a generous serving of atsara on some salad greens. Delicious! (Oct. 30, 2022) As promised in my first review, I 've returned. It 's been six months, but since then, I 've been to their equally good branch in Glorietta 3 park several times. I 'm happy to report that, contrary to any apprehensions that I had last time, my latest visit didn 't cause me to lower my rating; still 5 stars. This time, I had a chicken teriyaki with rice and veggies for my entree. My drink was an iced mocha, and despite it being dinner again, I didn 't bother to order decaf. It 's the middle of a 4-day weekend, so it 's ok if I sleep late. (Apr. 10, 2022) A great coffee shop. Not just a coffee shop, actually, but a full-scale restaurant. It was my first time here, so I 'll update this review after subsequent visits, hopefully none of which will cause me to lower my rating. For today, I ordered the Salmon Nicoise Salad, an Iced Cocoa, and a slice of Choco Ganache Cake for dessert. I had eaten in another restaurant the day before and ordered their salmon with vegetables entrée, and it turned out to be the low note of my meal; there was just a token amount of vegetables. But Mentoré 's Salmon Nicoise Salad is how it 's done right; lot 's of veggies, and a healthy variety, but not scrimping on the salmon. And to think it wasn 't even listed as an entrée, just a salad. The Iced Cocoa had that savory dark chocolate type of flavor, and the Ganache was just right. I 'll try to go for brunch or lunch next time, so that I can try their coffee (my visit today was for dinner, and I can 't drink coffee after lunch, or it will interfere with my sleep). Ambience is typical modern coffee shop, bright and clean, and service is courteous and relatively fast.

Somewhat shabby with lots of instant coffee on sale that hardly adds to the premium feel aspired to? Worse, $4 (P220) for a coffee take out more expensive than NYC/London and is impossible to justify.
