UCC Park Café

Another coffee adventure for me. I’ve been wanting to try UCC’s Kori Kohi because of all the Boomerang and Instagram stories I’m seeing. Kori Kohi is a set of iced coffee cubes served with warm milk.
When my order arrived, the cubes and milk was served together with sugar syrup. I was a bit disappointed because the milk was a little chilled. That’s why it took some time before the coffee cubes melted. When it finally melted, the coffee had little to no taste. The taste improved after pouring a little sugar syrup.

Perfectly cooked Gyudon and Katsudon loved their pastries as well! the iced milk tea were the bomb! slight flaw though, their service water smells strongly like chlorine, i couldn't take a sip. 🏻

Fave spot in glorietta area. Coffee beats starbucks any day!

This coffee shop is so crowded and noisy. It's not relaxing at all. Over priced and under staffed. There were only two waiters working the mob of customers. A cup of tea costs an arm and a leg. Food was so so. No value for money at all.

Probably one of my few favorite spots in the Makati area. This is where my south friends and the north kids (my other friends and I) usually meet up for brunch, or post-dinner festivities. If it's just coffee, I usually order the Iced Latté, or the Caramel Latté. I really enjoy the coffee taste and just the right hint of sweetness that it has.

When it's food, I would order either their Katsu Curry or their Katsu Sandwich. Both are really goooood, but their food is a bit pricey. So, I can only order them when I plan on splurging for a meal. I highly recommend both dishes though.

It was around 10 pm when we hit the place and I love the idea of sitting under the moon and stars amidst a concrete jungle, your soles kissing a wooden floor just a few meters away from the concrete street on which the tires of the cabs are rolling. That rare instance that one's solitariness embraces the chaotic aura of the city. There is something about the ambience of the place that assures you privacy despite the open area and the buildings overhearing every conversation. It was just lovely, #myownkindofsaturdaynight.

Pricey food though, considering that they are not tasting as good as how they sound. We've tried their cinnamon french toast tower, mixed berries french toast tower, sausage and bacon toast plus an almond roca white choco cheesecake cooler as drink.

Anyway, there are just these moments in which you wouldn't even care how much will you be charged because nevertheless, you know it is worth the overall experience.

I'm not a coffee drinker but I don't mind having it in my dessert. UCC's dessert selection is really creamy & dreamy for me. No one understands the pressure I go to every time I go here and have to choose my dessert. I love their cakes as well as their dishes. As for coffee, as an occasional coffee drinker, I would still say that this is one of the best coffee shops around. Blue mountain is just🏻🏻🏻. One of the few coffee's I genuinely enjoy but my pocket fears. Lol. A tasty treat for me and bf every time!

This place is memorable for us

Less crowded compared to other coffee shops so we always do our planning here (from wedding, vacation, work, etc). Their tables are spacious so we have enough area to eat and write :)

We like their BTS cake! (Sorry no photo) It's made of chocolate cake with chocolate icing and caramel filling. 1 order is big enough for us because its a mini cake and not just a slice 🏼

Since this is outside the mall and near the parking area, this place can be too hot sometimes, around 2-3-ish in the afternoon.

Soooo disappointed. I always order hokkaido french toast in UCC, this is the First time i got a very sloppy one. I told the waitress about it and she sarcastically kept on asking me what i want and if i want to have it replaced. "So ano ho gusto nyo? Palitan ko yan?" I told her i just want them to know that what they served me is so sloppy unlike the fluffy ones i get from other branches. All throughout our conversation and obviously trying to make me feel that she doesn't care, she kept on asking, "so ano ho, gusto nyo palitan ko?" Of course, i wouldnt want to have it replaced. Who knows what theyd do to my food if i demand replacement?!

Halo halo cake with langkasoy ice cream
Loved it, ordered an extra scoop of langkasoy ice cream ha ha!

Mixed Berries French Toast Tower was awesome! I love the tower like plating and the berries on the side, but the toast itself has this After taste of the oil that was used. But yeah, I loved it!

Great coffee and great ambiance means a perfect place to hang out with your barkada to have some catch-up conversations or if you just want to kill your time.

I ordered White Hot Chocolate Mocha.

Price: P169

This is my usual coffee drink whenever I go to a coffee shop. I liked their version because the coffee ain't too strong. It is not too sweet too. Just the right blend of everything.

Lastly, on Saturday's, this coffee shop opens until 1am.

Had a breakfast mEATing here this morning! I first had a photogenic cappuccino (seen in the photo), which I shouldn't have gotten because it was just okay and the dish I ordered actually came with a lovely cup of house brewed coffee. I also got a tocino rice meal, which was good but nothing too special. And lastly, waffles with fruit. The waffles and house brewed were what I enjoyed the most. Big breakfast talaga pero I shared both dishes naman with my mom. It's a bit pricey lang here but libre naman ng client eh. Hehe

Late post.
Had coffee here with friends after dinner at La Cabrera a few weeks ago.
Great location.
Their pistachio chiffon cake was good but not as good as Tazza's Pistachio Sans Rival.
My friend ordered the mais con yelo parfait and it looked yummy, something to try on my next visit :)

Okay, fine. I haven't been writing reviews here for some time that my looloo duties already piled up. LOL! Here's another late review.

After making our feet sore from what seemed like endless walking, standing, store-hopping and gift-looking evening, we found ourselves begging for a relaxing time. We were thinking to hang out in Starbucks 6750, but since we were really tired of walking, we stopped at UCC Park Café instead.

This coffee-and-dining shop at the heart of towering buildings and malls is very refreshing to the eyes of an urban wanderer. Its zen-like façade surrounded by lush greens with wooden floor would make one feel that he is in his own garden having quality time with family or friends.

Its interior resembles more of a typical coffee establishment, where yellow lights, couches, cake display, tables and chairs are present. It was raining that time, so we stayed inside.

We ordered Strawberry and Blueberry Cream Coolers to soothe our bodies from the tiring shopping experience. They cost P155 and P175 respectively, which how smoothies in a posh place like this would normally be priced.

Their drink tasted great, as there really were berries in it. I loved munching on those blueberries while sipping on the smoothie. Those drinks were the perfect choices for our condition.

I already tried their pasta before, and it was good. I am yet to try their wide array of breakfast meals and other cuisines. It never crossed my mind to dine here, because I always see UCC Park Café as a coffee shop more than a restaurant. Hehe.

The mouth-watering blueberry cheesecake

Best Tambayan to catch up with friends. I like the ambience here, especially during night time where I can feel the cold air gently kissing my cheeks. ha!ha!ha

Recommended: Cappuccino-Sumiyaki Coffee-Club House Sandwich
Cakes- just ok ...nothing specials

Tried UCC's Hokkaido French Toast with Spam and Cheese and it was great! Also, their cappuccino is the best.

Great ambience, great food, great coffee and friendly servers ️

Overall rating of the place:

I thought it was OK.

Food is ok but too pricey for me. Not worth it.
