Thoughts of home at Cafe Mary Grace

Baked goodies from Cafe Mary Grace

If you want to take refuge from the shopping madness and all the hustles and bustles that Manila is known for, then you can seek that solitude at Café Mary Grace.

Café Mary Grace is a quaint little coffee shop known for its to-die-for pastries. Once inside the café, it’s as if you are warped into another place, where the cozy warmth of the host is felt in the every ala gourmet dishes served. The dishes are few but are carefully selected, intended to be simple yet rich in the palate. Their Spicy Shrimp Scampi in Linguine is a favorite among frequent visitors. No other food establishment prepares that dish as great except this café alone. Other dishes worth trying are their gourmet sandwiches and pasta with meatballs in red sauce.  You are enticed to eat—happily and heartily whether alone or in the company of friends. Every bite is savory and memorable—leaving you asking for more. But make sure you have room enough for dessert because no visit at Café Mary Grace is complete without sampling their best and decadent cakes and pastries. All their offerings are outstanding but you should have a taste of their chocolate cake—a smooth and indulgent chocolate-y sponge cake with a layer of caramel sauce in the middle, and a simple chocolate frosting on top. This cake is perfect for those who are not much of a sweet-tooth since the sweetness of the cake is balanced with the chocolate flavor and tastes just right.

Café Mary Grace now has four branches in the metropolis—Trinoma, Serendra, Robinson’s Ermita, and Alabang Town Center. Make sure that you visit this café soon. Once you‘ve tried it, thoughts of the café will definitely bring happy memories and an inevitable smile, with enough comfort and warmth to make you come back for another visit.
