The success story behind
Mary Grace is such an inspiration. It is
what it is today because Mary Grace made it her mission to reach for her
star. It is indicative in her products
and even restaurant decorations that she wants to share her thoughts,
aspirations, wishes and positivity to everyone and very open vice versa. Little
notes on the tables and scribbles on the walls - all of gratitude, optimism and
happy experiences says a lot of things about the place. From
baking in her kitchen to having kiosks and stores more than my fingers could
count, it was an astounding feat. Mary Grace
is home to patrons spending an hour or two enjoying a warmly lit and cool ambience. Café Mary Grace gives a holiday feel no
matter the season and I just adore that. It’s a place where you can go to and
leave your cares away even just for that visit.
Made famous by the all time
Filipino favorite ensaymada, Mary Grace is also frequented for the addicting
brownies and food for the gods, delicate cheese rolls and lemon squares for
“pasalubongs”, festive fruit cakes, apple pies and cheesecakes and my guilty
pleasure….the Mango Bene that always urges me to book a flight somewhere tropical. Last but not least, on days you just want to
have fun and let go…3 words…brownie ala mode.
The sweet tooth’s are not
the only satisfied customers, Mary Grace has savory specials too. The roster of
pasta dishes are all “molto bene” not a bad try for a local restaurant. Time and again, the chorizo and green olive
ends up being my hearty comfort food. The pasta Amatriciana with Italian
meatballs is a good try too especially for meat lovers like me. The Spanish sardines and olives pasta makes
for great alternative. The order that
saves the day for me is either the Vigan longganisa with kesong puti or the
chicken inasal con pandesal with tomato wansoy salsa. Both are light and fresh
yet with a substantial amount of protein.
Hot chocolates are a must
try to accompany the sweet treats.
Coffee is acceptable yet quite disappointing; it could be better
specially having café for a pretext.
Customer service is good, sometimes too good that at one time, I had
approximately 3 sips left still to be enjoyed in my cup of coffee and in comes
the good customer service at work eager to clean up my space. Oh the waiter
asked if I was done but the cup was already in his hand, I didn’t appreciate
that but I still salute you Mary Grace.
Café Mary Grace is a great
place for dates, meetings and even gatherings.
Pathfinder and I have celebrated our life’s victories at Mary Grace
countless of times and we are certainly looking forward to more. Hope to
celebrate with you at Mary Grace, Cheers!
