I love Mary Grace, especially their cakes. Long time ago i think i tried their pumpkin/squash soup and it was good. Last year i tried their beef tapa. This time i brought my husband and he ordered the tapsilog and i ordered mushroom cream pasta. I was kinda surprised how expensive their food was. And parang naliitan ako sa serving especially with the tapa for its price. But they were good. And of course their mango bene. We were so full! They moved from greenbelt 2 to 5, same ambience but smaller. The service was ok naman, kaso later on we were looking for our server to order the cake, cant find him (but later on found him on the corner, he took a break and didnt inform us). Total experience aint bad. I would still dine here! Or any cafe mary grace. read more

I think their cheese rolls and ensaymada are 5 stars, but their food was just average to both my husband and I. Our patronage of another Filipino establishment has accustomed us to a higher standard of unique and flavorful cuisine, leading to a perception of Mary Grace's offerings as merely average. Considering the five-star quality of their pastries and ambiance, balanced against a three-star food rating, I have assigned this location an overall rating of four stars. read more

My meal was not bad it wasn't spicy like it said spicy lemon shrimp pasta. The pasta was cooked al dente. The desserts are a hit. Not bad when you want something good and quick and affordable. Unless you only want dessert, this is a great place for that too. read more

Must try!!! Everything on the menu is delish especially the entrees, salad and pasta!!

Overpriced soup and salad! we ordered seafood chowder and the portion was so small for a 300+ peso price. The caesar salad has 3 small serving of chicken, with lots of Croutons. very expensive lettuce with croutons that I've had. read more

Mary Grace in Makati Mall was disappointing. After eating most of my steak, I found hair under my truffle rice. I've been to other Mary Grace's and have never experienced this. Hopefully staff will be more vigilant in cleanliness. read more

I am sending this review on behalf of many Filipinos in Manila. I am Filipino and a resident of California. My recent trip to Manila in January 2025 and even the recent Mother's Day celebration May 2025, I balk at the prices from Mary Grace. It's OUTRAGEOUS even for dollar earners. What more for the locals? Granted, many of the bakery products are good. But I just feel robbed if I get suckered into buying their products at the price they are today. We have Portos here in CA and prices are even more reasonable. I say ditch Mary Grace and opt for the more reasonably priced local bakeries. That's exactly what I did for Mother's Day. I ordered cakes and other goodies from a different vendor. Mary Grace Bakery is not the only fish in the sea! read more

Every time we visit Manila, we always eat a Mary Grace cafe branch. Our favorite dish is the homemade beef tapa with garlic rice and eggs. It's the best tapsilog! We also order the mango shake to pair it with the dish. read more

Grilled ensaymada. Get this please! The ambience here is great and Friday evening was just perfect for some live music while working on my cup of black coffee. Staff are super attentive. I can't complain. The outside seating is the best btw. read more

Mary Grace Cafe - Mango bene. Cheesecake. Grilled ensaymada. Must haves with your coffee! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Makati City, NCR

This place is the biggest rip off .. we had reunion 30 plus ppl supposed to be lunch buffett first of all food is mediocre to tasteless at best 2ndly the buffett was served not letting us take the food .. portion was very minute.. then thy ran out of food so the ones that came late got fckd no more food.. not everybody got dessert.. then they have the oddasity to ask for tip so here is my review read more

We wanted to eat early and most of the places weren't going to open till 9 so we ended up here. We were greeted and seated promptly, that was the only good part as far as service is concern. Given a menu then the wait began. After 10 to 12 minutes no one came to take our order so my husband decided to see if he can get someone's attention. One lady ignored him, then another and finally someone came to say "your server will be with you". By this time 2 more individuals were seated at their table and the server showed up but took the orders of the 2 other tables first who came after us. By now it's pass 9 AM and we've waited for over 20 to 25 mins (not a joke). I asked my husband if he wanted to leave but he said he just wanted some coffee. We should have just gone to Starbucks. Finally was able to order (woohoo) and eventually got our food. Tapa was good and the reason it's not 2 stars Longganisa was meh Ice tea was 50% foam and no taste. Not the usual Filipino ice tea I am used to (might be good for others) Service could be better The place itself looks nice Had a better jolly jeep experience at a fraction of the price. read more

This restaurant was recommended by a family friend, and it was quite lovely! Upon entering, their staff were very kind and welcoming, and the decor was very quaint giving it a homey feel. Recommended was their Grilled cheese ensamada and Grilled cheese bread. I would have to say very tasty and very cheesy. Great contrast with the sweet sugar coating and the saltiness of the cheese . In addition their Bangus Silog (Milk fish, egg, garlic fried rice) was also quite crispy and delicious. Although their longanisa silog (cured sausage, egg, garlic fried rice) was a bit disappointing. They left the string that held the longanisa together, which was inedible. Overall, if you're looking for a quaint home feel restaurant/cafe I would recommend going here! Especially for a coffee break, definitely must try the Grilled ensamada or Grilled cheese bread. read more

I had breakfast while waiting for my flight. The food was good but the service is a little slow probably because of the high number of patrons that time. I had to call the waitress for a menu and when I was ready to order. Otherwise the food was good and my only regret was not having anymore room in my tummy for their famous ensaymada. Maybe next time! read more

A,popular local cafe offering food, their signature ensaimada, cheese rolls and baked goods. All of the baked goods are light, airy, soft filled with butter, parmesan and edam cheese. A great place to eat for lunch, dinner or merienda. A lot of locals and balikbayans buy boxes of ensaimada and cheese rolls. Mary Grace is worth it! read more

Pros: - great location - cute decorations, inside and out - good customer service - cheese rolls are AMAZING - Mary Grace chocolate is to die for, although it was too decadent for me Cons - tables were too close together (perhaps that's my American take on personal space) - ensamayda was ok Definitely will take my brother here when he comes into the country. Love the ambiance and decor, so cute and fetch. Would come back to stare at the cute chandeliers read more

Had their Perfect Plates for 2 during my Valentine's date with my best friend. Complete plate included seafood chowder, pasta amatriciana, salad with kesong puti plus a slice of their delicious cake and iced tea . The food is delicious and real value for money. Plus , we got instagramable photos inside their homey store in SMBF. The staff were also very accommodating with our request to include taking photos of me & my friend on this special day . read more

Rude cashier. Discriminatory and bias. Slow service. Went to eat at this restaurant sometime early 2023 damn bad. Will not go there again. This restaurant I'm pertaining to is Mary grace cafe lucky Chinatown mall binondo manila. Too loud also in this restaurant might as well had to went to a bar at the time. read more

If you don't mind waiting 30-45 minutes to get your food then you may not mind this place. The ambiance is great, The capiz chandeliers really make this a great place to impress your friends and family. For a minute. The food came between 10-45 min after ordering. We ordered 4 plates total. The seafood pasta arrived fairly quickly 10 min or so. The French toast and the eggs Benedict after 45 minutes later. Eggs were cold, we asked for them to be reheated. The Coffee (Americano) also arrived late and I had to ask for it a few times including the rest of our food. By the time our food arrived I was too irritated to enjoy the whole eating out experience. I don't recommend this place. Spend your well earned money elsewhere. read more

C'mon, it's Mary Grace. It's a nice, safe (if unexciting) option when you're walking around in a mall, looking for some place to eat. Slightly pricey, but nice and safe. Thier ensaymadas and cheese rolls are the bomb, though. Am docking them a couple of stars for this branch because in the hour I was there, the waitstaff crashed stuff on the floor four times. That's not normal. That's f'ed up. read more

It's a Sunday morning, my Brother-in-law & his family are coming over to eat & we need dessert: ice cream, fruit salad, cake? Cake it is. Where can we get good cake in Makati? I look up Google maps & find this Mary Grace Cafe in Greenbelt 2. Perfect, because I can pickup KFC & soda in Greenbelt 1. By the time we got there, it was about 12:30 and my wife was looking for a bite to eat to hold us over until they got there in a couple of hours. As we were looking over the dessert counter, we decided let's have a bite. We decided on Margherita pizza - - tomato & basil. We're not super hot on basil, so we asked if they had spinach - - nope. Ok, anything else - - arugula. Arugula on pizza? We were game. Thin crust pizza. Cheese was tasty & melted nicely. They had put olives & fresh mushrooms on the pizza also - - they were a pleasant surprise, although the olives added a bit of saltiness. The tomatoes were peeled & cut in half - - the warmth made them good. The arugula - - probably should have stuck with the basil & ask for a sprinkle of it - - our mistake, not theirs. All in all - - a good pizza, not great, but good (especially here in the Philippines) & I'd order pizza here again. The servers were pleasant. But the tables are very, very close together. They do have a second floor on this restaurant & outdoor seating. Did I mention the chocolate cake? At the apartment we cut the cake. Two layer with custard like filling in the middle . . . It was the best cake I have eaten in the 34 years of coming to the Philippines!!! For me the BEST!!! My wife loved it too. It's not the usual sponge cake; it was more dense, more cake-like, but not super heavy. The chocolate taste was spot on & the custard was sweet, but not overly sweet where the sweetness made you reach for milk. Winner. Enjoy. read more

Service was ok Went in for breakfast, eggs Benedict (was actually "egg" benedict, was quite nice. Served on bread instead if a muffin Hollandaise sauce was nice with good spice from the pepper. Disappointed that they don't serve english breakfast tea (or any black teas) Washed down with a fresh strawberry shake read more

I came here for a Sunday late-dinner with a friend, usually not the first place I would suggest to go to. But if you're looking for an quick-easy food, cheap? and fast service, this would be your place for you and your family. Fairly, good food. When you first walk in, it might seem like it's packed but really there are seats available and there's also an upstairs dining area. Friendly staff, I like that they give you an ETA for your food. But what if, it doesn't exceed the time? (; I wasn't pleased with the salad, the pasta with clams was okay, the cheese roll dessert was probably my favorite, and artichoke dip was good but not nearly enough and they should have toasted the bread. Overall, it just wasn't what I was looking for but hey, it wouldn't hurt to at least go check it out and experience it yourself. read more

-I understand this is a chain. -I understand all I'm eating is butter and sugar. But it is just sofa king good! They are known for their ensaymadas and cheese rolls. Get them both. They're very light anyway so you'll definitely have room in your stomach for both. You have a choice of getting them "classic" or "grilled". I've tried both and I prefer the ensaymada in the classic style and the cheese roll in the grilled style. When the cheese roll is grilled it has a crunchy top with some added char flavor which makes it so yum. When the ensaymada is grilled it's just oily due to the butter. Still good, but I just prefer the classic. You can also find them at the airport so if you need some pasalubong (souvenirs) this is a good choice. read more

This is hands down my favourite restaurant in Manila. The food is so good. The artichoke spinach dip is a must. Everything we tried was great. read more

I've always been a fan of Mary Grace's Food for the Gods. I used to buy it by the box in that little kiosk in Glorietta's Food Choices years before they had a café. So, when they opened their first full-service restaurant, I think I was among the first people to eat there. The quality of their food, particularly their desserts, have remained the same over the years. They have pizzas, pastas and a lot more to offer. But I often stop here just for the cheese roll and the ensaymada. I get it grilled so the cheese melts and gets a little burnt. The cheese roll is my favorite; it's soft to the bite and has a generous cheese filling. Pair it with hot chocolate (take note they have different versions) and you have the perfect meryenda. Most of their branches are decorated the same way - with a relaxing, homey feel. I love those hanging small metal bird cages with the mechanical birds they have. They never fail to distract my toddler and give me a little bit of quiet time. For this particular branch, they have a kids' area in the mezzanine which makes our mommy-daughter dates even more special. read more

My boss recently said that Mary Grace is where all the titas hang out. I can see why he'd say that, mostly because they play bossa nova and smooth jazz (which is actually the jazz closest to pop, making it my least favorite kind), serve soft pastries and pasta, and provide nice, comfortable chairs. Mostly though, it's the spinster vibe of the place; from the collected notes from customers on the tables to the odd selection of things used to decorate each and every store. If you've ever ordered anything from Mary Grace, though, you'll know that they do mean cheese rolls and awesome lemon squares. You know that their coffee is actually pretty good. Yes, Mary Grace may be tita heaven. Then again, don't you love visiting your titas? I know I do. read more

Ever since this humble pasty store started, our family been big fans of their pastries especially the cheese roll. So you can definitely see my excitement when they've branched out with quaint restaurant establishments. Once you step in, the warmness will absolutely fill your heart. I easily fell in love with its unique interiors - the light fixtures, the decors on the wall, as well as their courteous staff. It's a great place to eat a hearty meal in, or just to unwind with a dear friend over cuppa or three. Whenever I visit Mary Grace, I make sure to order its signature hot chocolate and perhaps pair it with their best-selling cheese roll - a warm fluffy roll, filled with velvety cheddar cheese that you can either have regular or grilled. read more

I fell in love with Mary Grace's pastries and cakes about 2 years ago, when I tasted their Mango Bene. I've had a favourite Mango cake before.. I never thought I'd find another. First bite, it was just..."Wy did I just discovered you now?" Considering, it has less layers than the other mango cake that I know off, it was impressive. I get to eat all the layers in one bite, because they were all thin and this made me happy. Since its frozen, you'll be able to feel the ice crystals breaking and melting on your mouth. And there's a lot of mango slices on top of the cake. Oh I also fell in love with Mary's Grace's hot chocolate. It's thick and sweet. My friends and I used to joke that you can buy 1 cup of hot chocolate from them and dilute the choco in water, mix and Voila, you got yourselves enough hot chocolate to share among 5 friends. It's that sweet. :) read more

If you're big on pastries, then you should definitely make a beeline for Mary Grace, if you haven't already. A staple hangout place for the titas of Manila, Mary Grace is one restaurant that definitely has the Filipino tastebud all figured out. Personally, whenever I'm invited to a friend or family member's house for lunch or dinner, I make it a point to bring a Thank You gift. It's usually in the form of a bottle of wine or a big box of cheese rolls from Mary Grace. Their cheese rolls are definitely to die for. Incredibly moist and tasty, they are served best when toasted for a few minutes, with a side of steaming, hot coffee. read more

Service was a bit slow and a dessert was forgotten or not taken down by server. Nonetheless, food and atmosphere was great. We loved the carbonara, the silog plates, sans rival and mango bene cake. read more

Such a shame, have eaten here before so decided to try breakfast. Eggs stone cold! When told they just nuked them rather than re-cook. Food looks good but the prep and service well below par today. Last time for me today read more

Great for hanging out with friends who subsist on pastries. I go back for the cozy ambience, the toasted cheese rolls, and the peppermint mocha. Their pasta selection isn't bad either. Just don't go there on Friday night if you don't like waiting for a table. read more

Cheese rolls and ensaymada with hot chocolate is a must try. The sandwiches are pretty tasty too. Great staff and great food

Visiting Mary Grace is like going to my favorite Tita's (auntie's) house. You are always warmly welcomed and whenever you enter the place, it smells of something freshly baked mixed with the wafting smell of home food being prepared. The bustling sound as you come in is always enveloped by the warm and cozy ambiance of the place that is decorated with Filipino rustic style items, photos on the wall, and love letters to this endearing café. As with many other success stories, Café Mary Grace is a product of love and labor from its namesake with roots from her very own home kitchen. Add in her passion and love for sharing all things baked and her Café was born in 2006. A great place to come and enjoy her famous cheese rolls, ensaymada, and hot chocolate for those with affection for Filipino-style pastries as well as home-food cooked from the heart. Aside from her famous pastries, I would urge anyone to try their Perfect Plates sampler, the Crispy Cassava chips with onion dip, the Fried Kesong Puti with Calamansi vinaigrette, the Spicy Lemon Scampi, or the Pasta Ametriciana with Italian Meatballs, and wash it all down with her delightful Peach Iced Tea. Moderately-priced menu items include a hearty Filipino breakfast menu and sets, dips, soups, pastas, salads, sandwiches, pizzas, and of course desserts and refreshments. It's a great spot for all times of the day---breakfast, lunch, merienda (afternoon snacks), and even dinner! Plus, you'll always have a nice excuse to bring home some pastries to enjoy or share with your loved ones. read more

Do you always long for your grandmother's cooking? Are there times when you missed going to grandma's house for some cake or cookies? I know I do. I just love both my grandmothers so much and I would have to brag that they both cook really well. Mary Grace somewhat reminds me of the typical "grandmother's house." The interior of the café makes me feel like I'm in a dining place where a cute old woman who bakes a lot lives. I just know that whatever is served to me will be really yummy! It looks like comfortable cottage in the woods. I really like the wooden furniture and the written notes displayed on each table. The notes are from people who ate there and definitely enjoyed the food. For starters, I really love their Mushroom Pate. You can really taste the chunks of fresh mushrooms and it goes really well with the toasted bread. I absolutely love their Tomato and Herb Fusili Pasta! It's so hearty and the serving is just enough for one. For dessert, I would have their famous Grilled Ensaymada or Cheese Roll! read more
