    executive meetings, chill out, private conversations

    jamescoffee recommends this,

    I am personally a coffeemaster and a coffee/movie rater:
    Figaro Coffee: Well, for me its an european 'smooth' ambience , earthly tone,it has warm lights that people can relax with, their target market is the middle to high class. you can never see jologs or 'low class' people here, unlike at starbucks, where market are from low to high class and has noisy ambience particularly at mall based starbucks.

    Ok on the ratings: I love the hot coffees, especially the cappucino, au lait, cafe mocha, they are all rich and creamy, and the designs on the top is truly unique.
    Cold coffees are good too, not too strong,but starbucks wins on this one as i prefer the mocha frap on starb.
    Pastas are perfect, i recommend the arrabbiata, al tonno, pesto
    the carbonara is yummy too but it lacks on the white sauce.
    the iced tea of figaro is perfect. its brewed and its so tasty.

    the secret of figaro on why their hot coffees are perfect is because their beans came here in the philippines they have farms on benguet, cavite, batangas and etc.and its freshly served unlike on ..... im not gonna tell.hehehe but to tell you the truth there are lots of people that is being based on a coffeechain or supplier that are trying to degrade figaro. so pls dont listen to them i am a coffee master and i usually have various meetings at figaro and i must say its the best coffee shop so far.

    Cozy Cafe

    virtualamanda recommends this,

    Figaro Cafes are small coffee shops furnished with small coffee tables and chairs, best suited for people looking for an intimate space by themselves or having an intimate conversation. You can catch up on your reading and all the talking as there won’t be interruptions from baristas calling out names of customers. When privacy and personal service matter to you, here, you can keep your name to yourself as the coffee is served right at your table. The coffee is reasonably priced, not as low-priced as the coffee served in doughnut stalls but neither as high-priced as those from international coffee shops.

    Figaro Cafes have an earthy tone to it - from the brown wooden chairs and tables, to the wooden bookshelves and counter area glowing underneath the hanging lampposts, and the earthy flavors of the coffee. Its homey interiors are complemented by the traditional way of serving coffee at home, in small ceramic coffee cups. Take your first sip of cappuccino with its trademark floral foamy cap.

    They serve slices of sweet pastries good to balance the bitter taste of unsweetened coffee or strong espresso. There’s also a growing list of pasta and sandwiches for those on working break or lunch mode. A Spanish-style sardine sandwich, alternatively served in a pizza, is a spicy add on to perk up your senses.

    after party.chill.memories

    After our party at the NBC tent. Me and my girlfriends hanged out to other bars to chill and have some fun, we even have our crazy moments.. And All of a sudden we realize that we need to stay awake for our pajama party so we headed to Figaro coffee at bonifacio high street in taguig where in beautiful lights made the night more relaxed, together with our chosen coffee and deserts, They even served the coffee with beautiful presentation but what i missed most is the yummy sansrival dessert that i tasted it really soothes my taste for sweets.. Its a really must have for a people who has sweet tooth...
