Rolls Republic: 75 Peso Breakfast with Brewed Sagada Coffee and Eat All You Can Rolls (Avenue of the Arts)

Residing near Malate, I have always been amused by the lively neighborhoods restaurants and cafes.
To my surprise, there's a cool concept that has been under my radar - Rolls Republic.

What brought my attention is Rolls Republic 1st Year Anniversary Speedy Rolls Festival where they offered Eat All You Can rolls buffet.

As soon as I went in, I found out they also offered Party Platters and they also offer delivery.

I like the bright and casual vibe of the place.  It looks clean and on point.  I'd happily dine here for rolls and go.  Or because they offer Free WiFi, I'd prefer hanging out at this place over the dark and cozy ambiance of famous coffee shops

Rolls Republic has a giant map with spheres signifying their rolls conquering the world.  And, their slogan comes in different languages.

Breakfast Rolls with FREE Coffee (6am to 10 am)

If only I was a student or a bar reviewee again, I would be here for breakfast and longer everyday.  Not only do they offer FREE WiFi, they also offer an unbelievably priced breakfast with FREE Brewed Sagada Coffee.  Another thing that makes them an ideal breakfast place is that they open really early!  And, during that time there are a lot of parking spaces available.  And, did I mention how much I spent for this sossy-looking and very fulfilling breakfast?  Only 75 php!!!

I also like their packaging.  I have to admit, I don't usually buy grab to go snacks at convenient stores because the packaging doesn't look appetizing.  Of course, it is also given that we know its been sitting there for days and I had a couple of experiences of buying spoilt food and moldy sandwiches.  That's another great thing with Rolls Republic, the rolls are made fresh upon your order.  They are very professional and prepare them very fast.  They suggest that you consume your order within 24 hours for freshness.  If you're lazy you can just buy this leave them on the freeze and eat them whenever you feel like it without need for reheating.

This Spam Omelette Roll is just the way I like it... with ketchup to boot.  I am very impressed with how they were able to blend local rice like the malagkit to make the rice really sticky and composed similar to that of a high-quality sushi that makes use of Japanese rice.

Eat All You Can Rolls Buffet 
Before moving on with the eat all you can rolls buffet,  let me just share about the roll variants available at Rolls Republic that distinguishes them from other rolls concept:
  1. First, they do not offer Japanese sushi with raw ingredients.  All their ingredients are freshly cooked.  While I also enjoy sushi with raw ingredients, I agree that this is a good idea since I have friends who don't eat raw.  And, some can't eat raw.  I mean they really can't.  In fact, my realization comes with a story.  Before I didn't believe that some people can't eat raw so I used to force my ex to eat sushi and sashimi with me.  And to my surprise, his body would involuntarily reject the raw ingredients as he has to barfs them just a few minutes after intake.  After the third consecutive time, I gave up making him eat raw. =p  
  2. Second, their rolls are international cuisine inspired.  Most of their rolls are unique as they are creatively concocted by their very own chef.  Genius!

They offer 4 kinds of Eat All You Can Sets so you can choose according to your preference or budget.  The slices of their Eat All You Can is small than their usual roll (1 normal roll  = 5 Eat All You Can piece) so you get to try more than variants in your 90 minute time limit.  The size is actually the same as their Sushi Cake (the one with the carrot flower in the picture) which they sell by order for only 3,000 php and serves 30 people and their Party Platters.

I bet many of you are wondering how many rolls did I handle in our 90 minute seating?  I went there very hungry and only handled 20 rolls.  Think you can beat that?  The rolls were heavier than I thought.  But, the best thing about the experience is we didn't feel overwhelmed or "Umay" even though our bellies were very stretched because the variants are really appetizing.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Rolls Republic is offers great a dine-in, cafe, breakfast place and grab and go concept.  The pricing is very reasonable so much that it can be an everyday pleasure and convenient food.  This is indeed one of the underrated hidden places in Malate that deserves more glamour than it currently has.
