McCafé - Taguig

This McCafé really caught our attention while driving around Fort. Its exteriors were a bit classy compared to other McCafés. I believed it just opened last late December 2016. It was midnight when we decided to chill here after having dinner at Mercato near by. Nearest parking is the one in Forum but it was a Saturday and it was midnight so parking was already full. Next to the nearest parking is at Fort Strip, couple of blocks away. I have known McCafé as a little portion of Mcdonalds. But this branch offers pure McCafé. The place is not as large as other coffee shops. It could accomodate not more than 50 customers. The place was not that crowded during our visit. Luckily, there was an available seat at the alfresco. Alfresco area is not only for smokers, but for people who like to unwind and enjoy the partial view of Fort. They don't have Wi-Fi connection by the way. We ordered their frappe, double choco frappe and caramel frappe. These were my favorites... read more

Every coffee from McCafe BGC Arts Center is handcrafted upon order. And the coffee beans they used, which are from South American & Asia, are premium 100% Arabica beans so that their coffee is well-rounded and full of taste.  Baked in store fresh daily, their croissants are flaky, chewy with a soft interior. It also has good layers of butter in between especially with their butter croissant. With their dark chocolate croissant, french butter is used and Belgian dark chocolate. Those who wants a filling snack may have the ham & cheese croissant that is smoked Canadian bacon and melty American cheese. Or one may have the ham & egg mayo croissant which has a nice homey nostalgic taste paired with the smokiness of their bacon.

After dinner, we went to Maybank Performing Arts Theater to check the newest McCafe branch in BGC. I was fascinated when I saw the McCafe in Maybank Performing Arts Theater for the first time because of it's stunning and modern architectural design. It's very Instagram worthy! Be ready with your camera. Inside it's very bright. Although it's not that big but I can see the cleanliness and coziness of the cafe. And yes! McCafe has its own Comfort Room with infrared lighting (it turns out when no one's moving). Most of the customers were students... some were studying and some were just hanging out. While having coffee outside, we were so relax with the city escape view of BGC. Tall buildings and glittering lights were so amazing during night time. By the way, I got Iced Cafe Latte for Php135.00 (Large Size). Cafe Latte - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 #ilovetoeatph ????❤

We ordered their frappe, double choco frappe and caramel frappe. These were my favorites everytime I go to other McCafés. This review should supposedly only about how we feel on the ambiance because we've all known how McCafé brew and do their job with their coffee, but I have to say something about their caramel frappe. It was too sweet! Like, too many pumps of caramel was poured! I suggested caramel frappe for my friend because I liked how it tasted the first time I tried it from other branch but she turned out not drinking it anyway after a few sip. We don't know if it was a mistake or they really blend it that way in this branch. I have to visit again soon and order the same thing to check. I still recommend this place for people who love being at peace while having a cup of coffee and would not want to spend much like in Starbucks haha

An airy, minimalist designed Mc Cafe. Don't expect much sitting but there are a few more outdoor. They serve some pastries but only got iced latte for tonight. For the price it's worth it. The store is located at the Maybank Theatre on 26th near The Forum.
