The COVID Pandemic has made us realize how we can be consciously or subconsciously affected by everything around us. The months of confinement made us yearn for the psychological comfort of once again being able to go out. Fortunately, we can now (with safety measures) go out once again and chill at our favorite cafes like Cafe Mary Grace.
Well-known for its Ensaymadas and Cheese Rolls, Mary Grace has become one of the fastest growing local food brands. Even during the pandemic, it has continued to open more kiosks and cafes. All of its kiosks and cafes have the same interior which we love. It just charms us to coziness each time. The yellow lighting, floral and ceramic decors and the homey furniture and fixtures harmoniously makes it one of the most beautiful and cutsie cafe in the Philippines.
Food
The cafe menu covers all types of meals from breakfast to after-dinner snacks.
 |
| Crispy Cassava Chips with Onion Dip (205 php) |
Since we wanted to take our time and enjoy our meals slowly, we first ordered the Crispy Cassava Chips with Onion Dip for starters. This is our first time to try this and it was surprisingly good! So good that we dare say that the Onion Dip is as addictive as the more famous Spinach Dips or Artichoke Dips.
Hearty Soups
 |
| Seafood Chowder (190 php) |
The Seafood Chowder has the right blend of creaminess, richness and chunkiness to make it the appropriate warm and comforting soup that prepares the belly for a heavier meal.
Salads
 |
| Fresh Kesong Puti & Calamansi Vinaigrette (288 php) |
The Fresh Kesong Puti & Calamansi Vinaigrette is a refreshing salad to try as it incorporates local ingredients. The kesong puti is fried and breaded but not oily at all. It was so much fun to eat.
 |
| Mary Grace Caesar Salad (360 php) |
The Mary Grace Caesar Salad is the classic Caesar Salad done right.
Tomato- Based Pasta
 |
| Pasta Amatriciana with Meatballs (320 php) |
This is the first time for us to encounter a pasta with Amatriciana sauce. Based on our research, the Amatriciana sauce is a sauce named after the town of Amatrice and is actually one of the most famous pasta sauces in Italian cuisine today. While we couldn't verify how near it is to that one you can find in such town, we enjoyed this Pasta Amatriciana with Meatballs as the red sauce was rich in spices with a tinge of savoriness and tanginess.
Cream-Based Pastas
 |
| Classic Carbonara (315 php) |
The Classic Carbonara is one of Cafe Mary Grace best sellers. Everyone who has tried this has loved this. We're sure you would too! Enough said!
Pizzas
 |
| Margherita (498 php) |
Cafe Mary Grace pizzas are thin and chewy dough crusted topped with fresh and premium ingredients such as its home-made tomato. We opted for the classic Margherita which was a great compliment to our other orders.
Freshers
Homemade Iced Tea
 |
| Apple, Cinnamon Tea and Honey (95 php) |
Premium Coffee & Teas
 |
| Peppermint Iced Mocha (185 php) |
After our meal, we stayed for coffee. The Peppermint Iced Mocha was a hit among us.
 |
| Cappuccino Regular (120 php) |
If you're the plain-type of tito or tita, you can go for the hot Cappuccino.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Cafe Mary Grace is one of the best cafes in terms of ambiance and food quality in the Metro Manila. We can see this cafe chain as one that would expand with more branches in the future.
