Tomas Morato welcomes a third wave coffee shop, lovingly-made by four siblings. Two of whom are chefs, which becomes apparent as soon as you try their dishes and refreshments. Their coffee is carefully brewed while their food is far from typical.
Re-energize with standout dishes like Mr. Eggy & Mr. Eggoy Pasta, Spicy Squid Salad and Black Calamares with Gochujang Mayo. Also, Kandle Café will definitely inspire you to get productive. Just choose from whichever set-up gets your mind working.
3. Soban K-Town Grill

Open every day from 11am to 10pm

Introduce your Korean-craving-belly to Sariwon’s younger sibling—Soban K-Town Grill. Imagine Sariwon’s expertise in Korean fare combined with modern, exciting twists. That’s reflected in fun dishes like Beef Bulgogi Tacos and Kimchi Fries. And if you’re a fan of samgyeopsal (grilled pork belly), you’ll definitely love Soban’s version. They offer a six-flavor set with original, fruity, chili bean and three seasonal flavors like soy garlic, Korean miso and wine.
2. Empingao!
5739 San Lucas corner P. Burgos Street, Poblacion, Makati City
0915 725 7378 | Facebook
Open Monday to Saturday from 3pm to 2am
Budget for two – P1500
Empingao is from the same creative hands that concocted Locavore, FAT and Taqueria 101. This time Chef Mikel Zaguirre focuses on Latin American cuisine, but of course, expect scrumptious twists.
It’s situated in the obscure side of Makati. With its bold and comforting grub, however, Empingao won’t remain hidden for long. So, don’t wait too long before trying Chef Mikel’s take on Cubano, Arroz a la Cubano and a plethora of tacos.
1. 59c
Via FB: 59c
Unit 59-C Paseo de Roxas Street, Urdaneta, Makati City
(02) 501 9732, 0917 845 7967 | Facebook
Open every day from 9am to 1am
Budget for two – P1300
Here’s a place that won’t give you judging, disapproving looks for staying from morning to night. 59c is the metro’s first co-working space with a full-service menu. Here, you can get work done, host business meetings and unwind all throughout.
59c provides just the right amount of comfort (that you don’t fall asleep) while making sure you’re always fueled with food, coffee and libations (if that’s what gets you going). Specializing in modern Asian fusion—some must-tries are the Fryaneese Chicken, Duckquitos and Mandarin Riblets.
