Espressamente Illy

Most of my previous reviews were places where we could take advantage of my zomato gold membership, and this time is no different. We were in Powerplant Mall and decided to have a rest from walking around.

We chose to dine at Illy Café (previously named Espressamente Illy) because there were surprisingly a few people considering it's a Sunday.

We ordered the Moccachino Freddo (Php 170 + service charge) and got 2 drinks for the price of 1! And since we also wanted some food, we tried their promotional set menu. You can choose 1 out of 2 started options, 1 out of 3 mains options, and panna cota for dessert (Priced at Php 295 + service charge). It was a steal considering that we just wanted to try to food options and it's an afternoon snack.
More importantly, the tartufo pasta that we chose for the mains is delicious!

Overall I'd go back! Service was great as well since there were not much people.

I have thought that this place is good not just for local but for foreigners too but now I am not a happy customer. I am a coffee lover. I usually go to coffee shop to have a cup of good one because I am an Italian traveler , I have tried lots of good coffee and the quality and now It's a bad experience for me since I always buy Coffee and there's no way that you will charge me more than 5 euro just to add one shot on top of my order and it never happened to me before even in Australia , Italy and etc . What I'm saying is Even though the coffee are expensive I don't mind paying knowing as long as I'm getting the right service and quality of the coffee .. not to mention I'm in the Philippines and not in Australia or Italy . Definitely I know what I am talking about here and what I am saying is I will never recommend this place again.
I reported this all to Ily in which they still have not responded! What Ily doesn't understand is that a complaint is so much more than them crediting your card or giving a free drink (which they think shuts you up)! You need to step up and provide better service And you should be making it comfortable for people of all ethnicities to feel comfortable in their stores whether local or foreigners .

Illy. Something different.

Capuccino is ️ No need to add sugar or anything. It was just the right taste for me. Though I should have ordered the bigger cup haha also ordered their tiramisu cake (not in this photo) and coffee was poured over the cake. It was lady fingers layered by this cream then to get the real taste of it, the coffee was really good.

The place was in the center of the mall actually in the isle. I was with my friends that time and the kwentuhan was a bit loud so sorry to other coffee lover staying that time.

I would love to come back to try the other sweets and pasta.

Great combination. A must try delicious carrot cake . The place was not so good though. It's located at the open center isle of the mall.

I love their coffee! I have to say, Illy's coffee is one of the best for me. Their cafe latte is just perfect. I love that it comes in a tall glass - more for me to enjoy. Price is reasonable for me. I'm not a fan of their French macarons though. It seemed pretty dry. Their carrot cake was also quite bland. Im willing to try their other pastries for next time though.

Super liked their Tiramisu with Espresso ... Perfect match for Cafe Latte

If you love coffee and cheesecakes, illymisu will surely blow you away! A piece of heaven in a coffee shop!

Great coffees, great red velvet cake

One of the place I hang out .... to rest my tired feet during the past xmas shopping rush ... Love their tiramisu ... It's such an #eyeCandy just wanna keep taking pics instead of digging into it

The creme is awesome with the perfect dash of liquor for the amazing tiramisu taste .. Plus the crunch coming from the crisp bread on layers is such a pleasure in the mouth #happyTummy

Had a coffee break after lunch with the in- laws ! Must say great coffee place. We were suppose to go to Starbucks but it was full, we decided to go to coffee bean but it was full too! Go we. Ended up here and it was the right descision! Ordered a cappuccino and it was the best part of the day! Besides waking up next yo my wife of course!

Looks good?nah! The cakes tasted like they were in the ref for months. None of the 3 cakes we ordered was good, i cannot even called it a so-so. It was really bad. And the coffee makes your throat dry.

4 cups of Marocchino Caldo, each with a different latte art. Nope, I didn't finish all 4 cups. But I did love the combination of the illy espresso, hot emulsified milk, and hot chocolate. Didn't need to add any sugar. It came with a free biscotti.

Coffee shop of choice whenever I am at Power Plant Mall. Illy never fails.

My "desk" for the day Love the place because it wasnt as crowded.

Got some earl gray tea and caesar salad. Wish the lettuce was crispier tho.

i like their cappucino.

the food's not bad. fries are quite yummy. and there's a quirky take on the much-loved tiramisu. why go there then? the smoothest latte i've ever had. period.

Must try! Tiramisu and then the espresso will be poured on top! If course coffe is good and surprisingly the pizza is good too. Nice!

I loved it.

Came here for some coffee because of these interesting looking sofa benches with cushions and padding. Had that futuristic look. It felt pretty private since we were covered. Not a bad place to relax.
